About this episode

The episode explores who has the most tragic and hilarious experiences on dating apps through stories shared by the hosts and their guests.

Everyone swears they've got it the worst on dating apps — men, women, you name it. But who actually takes the crown for the most tragic (and hilarious) experiences? In this episode, Daniel and Jinah sit down with Ryan Lugo and Akosua Mireku (@poem.a.day.project) to swap war stories from the wild world of online dating. Cringe, laugh, and maybe even cry a little as we ask the ultimate question: is anyone actually winning on these apps?
