    Why Does My BF’s Stability Turn Me Off?

    We’re navigating second-guessing today! Jared tells Jordana about his latest trip to Boca, when his parents started dissecting why he’s still single, and Jordana pulls him out his own head. Afterward, they get an email from a listener concerned that her boyfriend is too much of a green flag. She spent her 20s dating toxic “boys,” so why isn’t she satisfied in a stable relationship with a mature man? The Awkward Encounter is a funny story that’ll have you clearing your Google search history. Then, a woman writes in after getting disgusted by her aunt’s reaction to meeting her boyfriend. The episode ends with a “Red Flag or Deal Breaker?” in partnership with Angry Orchard, about sharing locations, a killer dating app DM, and TikTok thirst traps.

    Heather Graham's Affirmations Helped Me Find A Husband ft. Heather Graham

    We’re coming full circle as actress and filmmaker, Heather Graham joins J&J for an extra special Sunday episode. 2 years ago in a Benefits episode, Jordana shared the story of how Heather Graham’s list for manifesting the perfect partner led her and several friends to meet their husbands in a matter of months, and Jared made a list of his own too. Fast-forward to present day where a listener wrote in to announce she’s getting married and those episodes helped her find her man too, so it was finally time Heather Graham knew her impact on the U Up? World. After J&J bring her up to speed on her unknown history with the pod, she shares her affirmations, how her friend group wills what they want into their lives and the ways she’s learned to make better choices than what may feel familiar to someone with a dysfunctional past. The episode ends with a lightning round of “Firsts & Worsts.” For more from Heather Graham (@heathergraham), see her sophomore directorial project, “Chosen Family” on October 11, 2024.

    I’m Turning Into My BF’s Mom And I Hate It

    J&J are back in the studio and with the way the U Up? world works, it’s still Jordana’s birthday. They get excited about everything fall has to offer, from dating and the NFL to fall fashion. Plus, a subscriber helps Jordana amend a remark from last week’s chat about Chappell Roan, and Jared gets a touching message from a fan. The first email comes from a 31F listener who’s starting to feel like she’s mothering her 26M partner. Is this a slight play at weaponized incompetence, or just a serious lack of awareness? The Awkward Encounter is a building ick as a 35F listener is struggling to deal with her BF’s snoring or morning kisses while he’s wearing a mouthguard. Next, a listener feels like she won’t get out of her own way when it comes to great matches she’s met on dating apps. The episode ends with a round of “Red Flag or Deal Breaker?” about backrubs, a surprise home visit, and unsolicited business advice, in partnership with Angry Orchard.

    J&J Break The Fourth Wall

    This Benefits episode is a stray from the usual as J&J break through the fourth wall. While what happens in Benefits usually stays in Benefits, they're feeling a little less trusting of the internet after parts of the Kaitlyn Bristowe episode got out to the masses early at the hands of a subscriber's recording on TikTok. Before full context could come out with the episode, it'd caught on like wildfire with Bachelor Nation, spiraling between popular TikTokkers and Reddit threads, setting off Jared and Jordana's notifications by surprise separately in Ohio and France. With some time passed, they talk through their thoughts of the recording and their reactions from the episode's response, plus the questions raised after the aftermath.

    Is Sexual Compatibility A Valid Reason To Break Up?

    J&J are reminding us of the “disgustings” they are in today’s Sunday Special, but you’ll forget all about that by the time you hear how unhinged the advice email is. After catching up, they play a round of “Petty or Prudent?” that throws us back to the topic that inspired this segment: sharing streaming services. Is it petty or prudent to kick an ex off of your streaming accounts after a breakup? The episode ends with an advice email from a 40M listener hung up on sex in past relationships despite hearing “wedding bells” for his current partner. Looking beyond the red flags being waved, J&J sense something more problematic going on. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Is He Really Busy Or Is It Just An Excuse To Pull Away?

    Jordana is back from her trip to "Fra" and we’re getting a full recap, which includes her very own Britney Spears moment. Then, in a strange turn of events, we get a dramatic reading of a Chappell Roan song from Jared. Next, we hear from a listener who has an unwanted third person in her relationship: her boyfriend’s brother. J&J try to read between the lines and figure out what this actually means for her relationship. Then, an Awkward Encounter from a listener whose mom opened a very private package. Finally, a love story from a listener who met her dream guy at the Renaissance faire. Is it too far-fetched to travel to another state to pursue her (maybe) knight in shining armor? The episode ends with a round of “Red Flag or Deal Breaker,” in partnership with Angry Orchard, including a partner with a very sexy hobby, a kiss with a childhood crush, and a first date who chose an interesting seat.

    I’ve Been Engaged Three Times, Why Can’t I Get It Right?

    On this Sunday Special, Jared and Jordana hear from a listener who has been engaged not once, not twice, but three times without ever making it to the altar. Is anyone ever 100% certain before walking down the aisle? First, Jared shares a recent plane mishap that has him thinking that he'll make a good boyfriend one day. Next, they receive a "Couple's Court" from a listener who has beef with her boyfriend's beard, reminding Jordana of a constant grooming conversation she has with her husband. J&J recreate the conversation they think this listener should have to get exactly what she wants. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    How Honest Should I Be With My Date?

    Long intro lovers, rejoice! Jared and Jordana are kicking off today’s episode with some well-deserved random rants. The first email comes from a listener unsure if she should tell the guy she is currently dating that she hooked up with his friend in the past. Should the new guy even care if she's a "homie hopper"? J&J discuss the double standards when it comes to men and women in this situation. Next, the Awkward Encounter is about a first date that took the phrase “honesty is the best policy” a little too far. Then, J&J help a listener whose partner likes to include others in the bedroom, but she’s not sure if that’s for her. The episode ends with a round of "Made You Blush" stories, in partnership with NYX, featuring an epic ghosting story and a woman who needs to improve her kissing strategy.
