Show notes

Jared and Jordana are back in the studio after wrapping the U Up? Live tour, and Jordana’s feeling sick. But, marriage is in sickness and in health, so her tale of a trip to the ER with Mike at her side highlights how different we become when one SO is sick and the other is playing caretaker. Then, after a former match's words got back to him, Jared disputes the real reason he unmatched. The first email comes from a listener who noticed past emailers might consider him a major red flag. He’s 37 and his longest relationship was only 2 months. Should he lie about his dating history for a better chance at finding the one? The Awkward Sexual Encounter is a very cheesy Netflix and Chill tale. The second email is about a road rage incident that brought safety, security and serious anger issues into question.
