It’s The Week Of Nothingness
Twixmas time (the days between Christmas and New Year’s–it’s a thing) is here, and J&J are winding down 2023 with a regularly scheduled episode. The first email is about a compromise issue: our listener’s love language is quality time, but her husband spends several hours gaming. J&J, with input from our producer Jorge, debate whether this falls under a hobby or an addictive habit, and what it could be a red herring of. The Awkward Encounter is a gross memory with a sweet ending. Then, the second email is riddled with guilt after our listener snooped through her husband’s phone and found something she didn’t like. The episode ends with a “Red Flag or Deal Breaker” about momma’s boys, weird outfits, and ordering for your date. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
