In this week’s episode, J&J settle a few doggy debates among our listeners. Is it worth telling a SO that you hate their dog? Would sharing joint custody with an ex hurt your dating life? Then, the Awkward Sexual Encounter turns out to be pretty wholesome. Jared and Jordana also hear from a listener dealing with ghosting regret, but they think she’s ignoring part of the picture. The episode ends with a round of “Red Flag or Deal Breaker?” about asking your ex for a post-mortem favor, stealing groceries, and social media stalking ahead of a date.

J&J are back for a Sunday Special and, while the weather is shifting, some things never change. The episode starts with a round of “Petty or Prudent?” about what happens to sex toys after a breakup. Then, we hear from a listener about a classic issue: dating app fatigue. She’s stuck in an up-and-down cycle of being on and off the apps and, while she’s self-aware that this might be affecting her dating success, she feels like this is an individual problem. Jared and Jordana share a reality check, hard truths, and assurances about this listener’s situation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A lot has changed since J&J were in the studio a week ago: Jared and Jordana had a first in their friendship, someone wasn’t happy about Jared’s Benefits episode, and Bumble added a new approach to dating on the apps. The first email is about backing out of a talking stage after Jared’s voice gets in her head. The Awkward Sexual Encounter comes in hot. Then, the second emailer questions how she can get her boyfriend to spend quality time with her outside of dates. The episode ends with a round of “Red Flag or Deal Breaker” about a date night don’t, recycling sexts, and lying about your age. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, J&J are joined by comedian, Emma Willmann! They start with talking about the stereotypes between straight and gay relationships, how she and Jared became friends, and what her new podcast, Ask Men Anything, is all about. Then, a listener wonders whether it’s why people keep asking, “How are you still single?” As a 30-something, gay man, is this meant to be a compliment or a red herring? Jared, Jordana, and Emma discuss. @emmawillmann Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

J&J are ready to solve dating again, but first, Jared feels garbage about a post-show interaction with fans in Atlanta and Jordana recalls humbling experiences from the early days of Betches and U Up? Live. The first email is a commitment conundrum that one listener is having with her boyfriend. Why does he keep agreeing to plans only to back out last minute? The Awkward Sexual Encounter blows in more ways than one. Then, the second email questions how logical it would be to continue pursuing a relationship with a man 7 years older and much further ahead in life. J&J end with a round of “Red Flag, Green Flag, or Gold Flag?” about living situations, date preferences, and celebrations. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
