From tiki lounges to ghost tours, Lux shares his high-octane first date formula—drinks, thrills, and a skyline dinner that screams “I’m not your average senior.” Giddy counters with her own romantic ritual: camping under the stars while being wined, dined, and wooed like a woodland queen.
The laughs roll in when Lux asks the ultimate question: “Is it okay to pick up dates at the senior lunch program?” Giddy’s reaction? Classic. Tune in for cheeky banter, unconventional wisdom, and a reminder that dating after 50 is anything but boring.

GIddy and Lux take on the issue of actually finding that special person by going outside into the world, rather than seeking them online through a dating service. It seems for younger generations, that is becoming a thing again. Wow. the idea that I might meet someone in the grocery story might mean I actually have to get outside my house and step away from my computer. And here, Lux was thinking, he could simply hookup to an AI gal. This episode we take a critical look at the flaws of online dating. Yes, there are plenty of problems with regular dating too! Honestly, we don't know the answer to finding that special love (WHO DOES, RIGHT?) , or the right thing for you to do, but we talk about it anyways, all in good humor. Anyone tells you differently is just blowing smoke up your tail pipe. Maybe Dr. Ruth (remember her?) If you don't you are probably too young for this show.

Of course, Giddy continues the conversation in her blog (because she always has to have the last word).

In this raw and reflective episode, Giddy opens up about the heartbreak of a four-year relationship built on sweet words and hidden truths. What started as a promising long-distance love unraveled into a shocking revelation—one unearthed not by confrontation, but by quiet investigation and a single Facebook photo.

As Lux listens in and offers his grounded insight, Giddy shares the emotional aftermath of discovering her partner had a decade-long live-in girlfriend. From confronting the red flags to regaining her dignity through a sharply worded farewell text, her story is a powerful reminder of how truth eventually finds its way to light.

The conversation doesn’t shy away from the scars—emotional manipulation, the loneliness of midlife dating, and a surprising encounter with a scammer surgeon (or three). But through it all, Giddy stands tall, proving that even battle-worn hearts can still beat with wisdom, humor, and hope.

🔹 If you’ve ever been blindsided by love… this one's for you.
🔹 If you're dating after 50 and wondering who’s real… listen in.
🔹 And if you’ve Googled someone after a weird gut feeling… welcome to the club.

Dirty Bathwater dives deep this week—not just into the muck of deception, but the quiet triumph of pulling yourself out.
