    The Worst Kind Of Rematch on Hinge

    The Worst Kind Of Rematch on Hinge

    Spring is in the air, and we’re ready to welcome all the fun that comes with more sun and warmer weather. Before diving into emails, J&J both have exciting plans to come, plus they receive another listener’s wedding invitation! Next, they hear from a male listener who just got stood up on a second date but met someone new while he was waiting. His original date ended up reaching out, so does he owe her another shot or would it be OK to call the girl he ended up meeting instead? The Awkward Encounter is why you never go back for seconds on Hinge if it didn’t work out the first time. Then, the “Are We Dating?” submission comes from a divorcee exploring the dating world. Her email stumps Jared because it’s a bit of a role reversal from what we usually hear, so J&J need your help landing a decision. The episode ends with a “Red Flag or Deal Breaker?” about seating choices, smelly genitals, and a potentially common risk when dating a teacher.

    Everything You’ve Asked About Jordana

    Everything You’ve Asked About Jordana

    Jordana is on cloud nine, post-interview and ready to share it all in today’s Benefits episode! After meeting her dream guest, Esther Perel, for an upcoming Sunday Special, she and Jared talk about how they felt after a landmark moment for U Up? Then, we dig up the lightning round questions you had for her and Jared asks Jordana all you want to know, from her sibling family tree to her old situationship’s current status, and favorite moments with her husband.

    A Message To Cheaters

    A Message To Cheaters

    If you’ve cheated or been cheated on, this Sunday Special is for you. Before diving in, Jared has some pre-wedding thoughts as we get closer to his brother’s big day. Then, J&J play a round of “Petty or Prudent?” about removing social media posts with your ex. Is that an unspoken rule of breakups, or is it OK to let posts of your past stay up? Next, we hear from a listener who’s just cheated and come back to the wreckage his ex left at home after she found out. He asks Jared and Jordana how he can apologize and what next steps he should take from here, but they think he’s missing something if he truly wants to change.

    SOS: I've Invested Too Much In A Dead-End Situationship To Walk Away

    SOS: I've Invested Too Much In A Dead-End Situationship To Walk Away

    We’re getting to the bottom of an on-again, off-again relationship in this Sunday Special! One of our listeners, Natalie, knows she’s dating a man she’s been seeing since September, but he keeps backpedaling on the seriousness of commitment. They’re in their 40s, she knows what she wants, and he claims to care for her, so what is the hold-up? When she listens to our podcast, some of Jared’s answers resonate with the way she perceives this man to be, so she wants answers from Jared and a reality check from Jordana. Is he just not that into her, or does he just need some more time before he gets tired of playing games? J&J give her some perspective to see a future for herself on the other side of this relationship, and help Natalie draft a text to follow up on their most recent hangout.

Aussie fan with a crush on both of these legends

I came to U Up through being a fan of Jared’s for years. I’ve always found him both hilarious and insightful - who knew he’d be the reason I found and fell in love with Jordana, who is, you guessed it, both hilarious and insightful. I am married and haven’t been on the dating scene for over ten years but I still get so much out of listening to this podcast. Learning about relationships and laughing along the way. And I share it with all my single friends!!! And I mainly took the time to write this because Jordana always says she reads every, single, review 😂
I live on a rural farm in outback Australia and this podcast keeps me company out in the paddocks chasing cows and horses !

The BEST

Love U Up so so much! I feel like listening for the last few years has helped me navigate dating in my 20’s better and become more empowered and confident in relationships. The bonus is that J&J are also so hilarious and have a great dynamic. Absolutely worth subscribing to the benefits episodes too! Thank you for this podcast 🫶🏼(Sydney, Aus)
