It’s time for another Sunday Special and, this week, J&J are joined by comedian Sam Morril. He talks unhinged exes and shares a recent text exchange with someone from his past. Then, the trio play a round of “Icky or Picky?” about appetizers on a dinner date. The episode ends with an email asking for validation on a breakup. A listener thought she did her due diligence in breaking up with her ex, but after time had passed and she ran into him, he accused her of not being honest enough because she found a new relationship soon after. Should she have mentioned her crush, or does it not matter if the relationship was on its last leg? Jared, Jordana, and Sam discuss. @sammorril Learn more about your ad choices.
