About this episode

J&J are back in the studio and with the way the U Up? world works, it’s still Jordana’s birthday. They get excited about everything fall has to offer, from dating and the NFL to fall fashion. Plus, a subscriber helps Jordana amend a remark from last week’s chat about Chappell Roan, and Jared gets a touching message from a fan. The first email comes from a 31F listener who’s starting to feel like she’s mothering her 26M partner. Is this a slight play at weaponized incompetence, or just a serious lack of awareness? The Awkward Encounter is a building ick as a 35F listener is struggling to deal with her BF’s snoring or morning kisses while he’s wearing a mouthguard. Next, a listener feels like she won’t get out of her own way when it comes to great matches she’s met on dating apps. The episode ends with a round of “Red Flag or Deal Breaker?” about backrubs, a surprise home visit, and unsolicited business advice, in partnership with Angry Orchard.
