  • Should You DM the Girlfriend If You’re the Other Woman?

    Should You DM the Girlfriend If You’re the Other Woman?
    Apr 24 2026
    Jordana and Jared kick things off discussing their night before at a fun client dinner that somehow turns into a lesson about the one airplane seat that always survives a crash (allegedly, 11A)! From there, they get into travel drama, including middle seat horror stories, whether couples who book the aisle and window are selfish, and how being nice to a gate agent can score you a surprise upgrade! Then it’s into listener emails: a petty or prudent about DMing a secret girlfriend after a Tinder hookup, and an honest breakdown of why one guy keeps striking out on first dates. They unpack dating fatigue, transactional energy, and the subtle signs you need to pay attention to to delete the apps! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • He Matched With Me… And My Brother! A Dating App Nightmare

    He Matched With Me… And My Brother! A Dating App Nightmare
    Apr 22 2026
    Jordana and Jared are back in the studio and immediately spiraling about NYC heat, aging, and why early flights now require a full recovery day! They debate whether a man in his late 30s sleeping in a twin bed is an instant ick and why his mom might be the bigger red flag. Then, a listener asks if it’s okay to date while still living with an ex, and whether that situation might signal you’re not ready for something serious. Plus, red flag or dealbreaker gets wild: matching with your brother on a dating app, a $500 first date that feels too pricey, and whether a lisp is enough to end things. Jared has some thoughts about this speech pathologist! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • What’s the Right Way to Approach Someone IRL?

    What’s the Right Way to Approach Someone IRL?
    Apr 17 2026
    J&J kick off today’s Friday Feels discussing New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel being spotted holding hands with another married woman, and whether interlocking fingers can ever be explained as “just friends.” Jared shares a surreal run-in with TikTok-famous Costco Guys while buying Ozempic, and why it felt a little too close to influencer rock bottom. They then dive into Instagram’s possible new feature that lets you secretly watch IG stories, track rewatchers, and how it could quietly ruin dating. Finally, they tackle listener drama: a drunk friend stirring engagement jealousy and the right (and wrong) way to approach someone at the park for a date! Learn more about your ad choices.
