    When Should You Archive A Pic Of Your Ex?

    It’s a Friday Feels episode, and we’ve got the hilarious Nimesh Patel joining Jordana and Jared! He’s here to talk about rebelling against his traditional parents and how life has changed since becoming a dad. Jared shares with Jordana and listeners that Nimesh has been crushing it on TikTok…without ever monetizing it (yep, that’s money gone)! Nimesh shares the peaks and pits of being a first-time parent and how his marriage has changed since having a baby. Then, they dive into a listener’s dilemma: her boyfriend promised to archive a photo of his ex from Instagram, but months later, it’s still there! Is this a red flag or just classic guy behavior? Nimesh gets put in the hot seat when Jared challenges him to answer as if he were giving his own daughter advice! Tune in now! Watch the full episode on YouTube! Learn more about your ad choices.

    Why Won't Men Approach Women Anymore?

    In this episode of U Up?, Jordana and Jared dive into the art of meeting people IRL. A listener asks about making real-life connections outside of dating apps and wonders how to approach people in person. Bar Comment Baits are Jared’s go-to method for starting conversations. Simple questions like “Did they have food at this bar?” or “Which team are you rooting for?” These small, natural ways to start a conversation can lead to meaningful interactions. Then, an awkward encounter leaves a listener confused after her date bailed at a salsa social and canceled their brunch plans the next day. What happened? Jordana and Jared weigh in on why men sometimes act mysteriously in these situations. Tune in for all the advice and laughs! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    When Is It Too Soon to Post About Someone?

    In this episode, Jordana's feeling a little bruised and Jared is unpacking the paradox of love’s give-and-take. First, J and J dive in, tackling a tried and true listener dilemma—should you be dating when your life feels like a total layover? Then, they break down the all-too-relatable struggle of texting purgatory on dating apps—are NYC men just looking for pen pals? Next up, Petty or Prudent features a long-lost (and very aggressively reclaimed) pair of grandma’s sneakers. And today's Red Flag or Deal Breaker debates some truly wild dating scenarios: a guy posting a second-date photo as his Facebook cover, a woman totally unphased by playing her dad’s love interest in a musical, and the ultimate modern communication nightmare—someone who only sends voice memos.

    Jared’s Australian Debrief

    Jared takes us on a wild ride from the crystal-clear waters of Aruba to the depths of his own dating dilemmas. He compares snorkeling in Aruba to the Great Barrier Reef—one’s vibrant and full of life, the other’s packed with fish—but neither can hold a candle to the exhausting reality of being the one to pull the plug on relationships. This has got Jared wondering, "are we’re all secretly haunted by unrealistic expectations?" He also dives into the surprising intimacy of random connections and the kind of self-reflection only a solo trip can spark. It’s a deep dive into life, love, and why Jared might be due for a little heart-to-heart with himself.

On “Awkward Encounter,” an apartment nightmare turns into a reality when a listener’s sister finds out her ex boyfriend’s new girlfriend moved into the unit next door.
