About this episode

J&J have a lot to discuss this week! Jordana is finally about to get her vacation fill, but it’s going to take a JetBlue flight to get to her destination. Then, Jared retells the story that his followers (and Jordana) were convinced was a meetcute, and explains why it wasn’t a romcom setup in his mind. Plus, after meeting Rob at his Boston show, Jared gives an update on our SOS caller. Next, he and Jordana are asked about the rules around your parents’ involvement in your dating life. Should you wait for labels or a certain time to let them know you’re seeing someone new? The Awkward Encounter proves that some men never change. Then, we receive an “Are We Dating?” submission that ends with J&J drafting a text for our listener. The episode ends with a “Red Flag or Deal Breaker?” about dating types, app omissions, and a pet portrait.
