| Texted Like a 10, Showed Up Like a Hatfish | 11 Jul 2025 | 00:19:19 | |
Welcome to Part 2 of our Modern Romance series—because one episode wasn’t enough to unpack all the ways dating can confuse, charm, and catastrophically disappoint. This week on Unconfuzed, Clarissa, Lisa, and Leilia are joined by special guest Jaclyn Betham to decode the next round of dating delusions. We’re talking slow fading (the quiet quit of dating), textual chemistry (when their texting game gives fireworks but in person it's giving fizzle), evil twin rizz (the smooth-talking alter ego who vanishes IRL), and the timeless tragedy of hatfishing (where the hat stays on... for a reason). If you’ve ever fallen for someone’s emoji game just to get bamboozled by their real-life vibe, this episode is for you. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. Slang hits different on Instagram.

Joined by Lisa, Leilia, Heynia, and our Gen Z guest Zora, we’re calling out the red flags, decoding the DMs, and making peace with the fact that yes — your love life might be a meme.

Welcome back to Unconfuzed — where pop culture gets put under the microscope, and delusion is always on the table.
