Beware Of Breakup January

Welcome to the inaugural Friday episode! Jared and Jordana are still at Spotify HQ, gavels in hand, ready to tackle Couple's Court. This week, they dive into a sh*tty dilemma from a listener who's struggling to get her boyfriend to clean up his bathroom blow-ups. Jordana passionately sides with the listener, while Jared shares how we can do better as a country when it comes to bathroom supplies. Next, a 30F listener without social media feels uneasy that her 32M boyfriend—who posts frequently—has no pictures of her on his feed. Is it weird that he's leaving her out of his posts even if she was there for those moments? J&J give her tips on how to address the issue with a vulnerable approach instead of an accusatory tone.

This week, J&J are coming to us from Spotify HQ, and Jordana is realizing she doesn't know NYC as well as she thought. First, they tackle a listener's email about men on dating apps giving her unsolicited advice. J&J discuss how to nail the art of roasting without going off the rails. The Awkward Encounter is a two-parter including a train platform romance gone wrong. Then, another listener needs help validating jealousy after her fiancé shares a compliment he got from a coworker. J&J try to give her perspective and decide if couples should even be sharing the compliments they receive outside their relationship. The episode ends with a round of “Red Flag or Deal Breaker” about a pocketed dirty condom, a mom with a vendetta and a light show at 3 AM. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jared and Jordana kick off this last Sunday Special with a round of “Petty or Prudent?”. They tackle a homemade sign a listener hung in her neighborhood, calling out her ex for his deceitful ways. It’s her bold move to retaliate against a liar and cheater, but J&J have some clever suggestions for delivering her message with a bit more finesse—no neighborhood drama required. Next, J&J give advice to a listener whose boyfriend is still grappling with the emotional fallout from his recent divorce. Despite their amazing adventures and great chemistry this couple might have, J&J focus on the passive aggressive ways he has been downplaying their relationship and wonder if he’s even ready for someone new.

We’ve got an update! The Oversharing segment Jared and Jordana disagreed about two weeks ago has extra context, and now Jared feels like apologies are owed (kind of). Then, J&J answer an email from a listener who is considering re-matching with a guy she’s dated before on the apps but she’s worried that he won’t remember her. J&J give her the pep talk she needs to pull the trigger and swipe again. Next, an Awkward Encounter turns a new relationship into a family reunion. The second email is a two-part problem: a listener’s boyfriend is still friends with his exes and she also has a situationship she cannot shake. J&J break down the issues and figure out why we might keep our exes around. The episode ends with a round of “Red Flag or Deal Breaker” about a first date foul, Eras tour tickets lie, and a tacky gift. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's one of our last Sunday Specials before we move to Fridays (read: Thursdays, if you're a subscriber)! J&J kick off with a round of Couple's Court about deleted nudes. Our listener got a weird feeling (iykyk) about her bf, so her gut told her to look through his phone. It looked clean at first until she found deleted nudes of him--and another woman, but here's where it gets strange: he told her that it was just a porn subscription, and the porn star requires him to exchange nudes on Snapchat. When you're done rolling your eyes, listen and get ready to weigh in on whether this is truly an open and shut case. Then, J&J help another listener navigate whether she should consider getting back together with her ex or walk away. He clearly had commitment issues when they were together, but now that they're apart, he took her advice to go to therapy. J&J discuss the boundaries she needs to set moving forward and if his decision to go to therapy is enough to open the door again. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
