In this throwback episode, we get all too relatable talking about making a bad first impression. Made a weird joke? Came on too strong? Forgot how to speak English the second she looked at you? We’ve all been there—and this week, we’re talking about how to come back from a cringey first impression without losing the girl (or your dignity).

Comedian and crowd-reading master K.T. Tatara joins Kristen to break down what actually kills a first impression and more importantly, how to recover with grace, humor, and a little self-awareness. They dig into:

  • The difference between awkward and unrecoverable

  • Why trying to “over-fix” makes it worse

  • How to use self-deprecation strategically

  • The power of naming the weird energy in the room

  • When to own it, when to pivot, and when to walk away

Whether you’ve bombed a banter opener or said something that made her eyebrows do the thing… this episode is your crash course in bouncing back.
