Urge to Merge: Tequila, Tuk Tuks, and Timeouts with Alex Ward

About this episode

Maddy Carty and guest Alex Ward discuss the complexities of lesbian dating and relationships with a comedic twist.

I’m joined by stand-up and TV writer Alex Ward! We get into the perils of lesbian dating, Christian camp crushes, ghosting someone for being 6’6”, and the dark art of emotional manipulation (for love). We unpack chaotic first dates, surviving adult timeout at a Gold Coast pub, the lesbian Urge to Merge, and why every queer couple ends up dressing the same. Plus: Taylor Swift conspiracy theories, OF thirst follows, blobbification, and pretending to like Jesus just to get the girl. It’s unhinged, confessional and cathartic, perfect for anyone who’s ever ghosted out of guilt, fake-read Jordan Peterson for a crush, or been too gay for Saudi Arabia. #datingpodcast #lesbiantiktok #datingadvice
