Is It Okay To Be Jealous Of My Boyfriend’s Hot Female Friend?

J&J are back with a Sunday Special, and they’re bringing back a beloved segment! In SOS episodes, rather than reading an email, a listener joins the pod to talk out their issue. This Sunday, Rianna joins J&J to explain how hard dating has been since she returned to the apps for the first time since college. Is it because she’s gained weight? Is it her new city? J&J help her identify non-issues, address a bigger problem they’re foreseeing, and give a homework assignment to get over her dating slump. Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s time for another episode, and with Thanksgiving only a week away, J&J are getting some holiday asks out of the way early. The first emailer wonders if she and her BF are really on the same page about their future, or if his jokes are meant for more than a laugh. Next, J&J take on a mini-lightning round about how to prepare for your first Thanksgiving with your SO or handle the tough questions from your family post-breakup. Then, the second emailer doesn’t want to spend Thanksgiving with her BF’s family, but he feels a type of way about that. Jared and Jordana debate who is in the right before the episode ends with a “Red Flag or Deal Breaker?” about body odor, eating etiquette, and bad breath. Learn more about your ad choices.

It's Halloween, so Jordana came ready to get messy while Jared showed up buzzed–but not in the way you’d think! First, J&J kick off with a pop quiz on spooky season dating terms. Then, a listener asks how he can get his long-distance girlfriend to communicate more. J&J discuss what this could mean for his relationship. The Awkward Encounter involves coworkers too close for comfort and reminds Jared of an awkward encounter of his own. Next, a newly single listener wonders how and when she should address her baggage. Her last relationship ended with infidelity and a divorce, but does every date need to know? The episode ends with a “Red Flag or Deal Breaker?” about food gifts, calling someone “hot,” and using group pics on the apps. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.
