Exes, Hexes & Hot Messes: Dating Disasters, Hookup Horror Stories, & Friendly Fire

This week on Apocalypse & Avocados, things get juicy—and a little unhinged. Peter, Carissa, and Shaun are joined by a very special guest: Peter’s bestie and ex-boyfriend Martin. What could go wrong? (Spoiler: everything, and we’re here for it.)

We’re diving headfirst into the flaming dumpster fire that is modern dating. From chaotic hookup horror stories to friendship fallouts and online dating disasters, no topic is off-limits. We're serving laughs, lessons, and a few low-key therapy sessions—complete with red flags, emotional manipulation, and "I just drove off" energy.

Also in the mix:
✨ Personal anecdotes so awkward we almost didn't air them
💔 Bad breakups that deserve their own horror movie franchise
📱 Dating app misadventures (featuring the world's worst bios)
😬 Cringe moments that turned into inside jokes
🏳️‍🌈 Real talk about dating while queer, anxious, and Very Online.

Whether you’ve been ghosted, lovebombed, or just went on a date with a man who said "you don't do that," you’re in good company. So grab your emotional support snack and join us as we roast ourselves (and maybe a few exes) with love.
