Drag queen Darlene Mitchell (Drag Race S18) joins Nicole for a chat about finding love in the Instagram DMs, pulling off a tear-jerking surprise proposal, and coming out to her conservative family via a massive group text right before leaving to film reality TV. Darlene spills on a disastrous first date with an aspiring news anchor who was stuck in his persona, and dumping a college crush after finding out he was making out with someone ugly. Plus, they discuss why weaponized therapy speak on social media is ruining modern dating, and why you actually might need to change who you are for a partner if your habits are the problem. Finally, Nicole brings in her tooth to show off the instrument left in it by TruGlo Modern Dental.

We’ve all heard the persistent dating mandate that the ideal man needs to be over 6ft tall. But what happens when you’re a 6"2 woman facing a dating pool of tall men who have coasted by on their height alone? According to comedian Marcella Arguello, it's time to abandon the tall man propaganda - and finally give short kings the respect they deserve. Marcella returns to the podcast to break down the brutal body standards we face in the dating pool. Nicole and Marcella also discuss the tragedy of having big dicks attached to bad people, and debate whether lying can actually keep the peace in a relationship. Plus, the story how she got a boyfriend by playing the long game.
