Did the Tell Me Lies finale actually deliver… or are we all just emotionally attached to chaos?

In this quickie episode, Alix & Kayla break down the Tell Me Lies finale—spoilers included—and unpack everything from toxic relationship dynamics to unresolved plotlines and the very real lesbian internet crossover that somehow always leads back to the same tiny queer universe.

From casting coincidences and queer Hollywood connections to the psychology behind Stephen and Lucy’s relationship, they dive into what worked, what didn’t, and the storylines they wish we’d gotten another season to explore.

This is a fun, chaotic pop culture recap about messy relationships, queer internet lore, TV finales, and why the lesbian social graph is somehow only three degrees wide.

Why does queer dating sometimes feel like relearning everything from scratch?

In this episode, Alix & Kayla talk about the strange, funny, and sometimes emotional reality of navigating attraction, identity, and dating after stepping outside heteronormative expectations. From questioning what “counts” as chemistry to unpacking the pressure to label experiences too quickly, they explore how queer relationships often challenge the scripts we grew up with—and why that uncertainty can actually be freeing.

This conversation is a relatable look at queer curiosity, identity shifts, and the messy, honest process of figuring out what feels right instead of what feels expected.

What is it actually like the first time you’re with a woman?

In this episode, Alix & Kayla talk about first times with girls — the magical ones, the awkward ones, the confusing ones, and the ones that quietly change everything. Drawing from listener stories, polls, and their own experiences, they explore what it means when desire finally makes sense, why some first times feel life-changing and others feel messy, and how fear, alcohol, shame, curiosity, and timing all shape our queer awakenings.

From being a “ ‘straight’ girl” at a gay bar to sober sex, baby gay panic, internalized homophobia, and the relief of realizing you’re not broken — just queer and nervous — this conversation is honest, funny, and deeply relatable.

Whether your first time was magical, chaotic, or still hasn’t happened yet, this episode is for anyone navigating queerness, curiosity, and the moments that quietly rewrite your story.
