Sometimes, You’ve Got To Take The “L”

About this episode

We’re ushering in September with a Sunday Special, and J&J are dubbing fall as the better season to be in the dating game. We know all too well that communication is a core element in dating successfully, and this episode focus on getting lost in translation. They play a round of “Petty or Prudent?” about a misplaced passport. Then, a listener questions if she’s been doing dating all wrong after she called out a fizzled dating prospect, and he fired back. If it seems like they both ghosted, who's at fault? Jared and Jordana read the texts and take sides.
