  • Ugh

    Not Jared thinking Howard stern is the king still smh. Still backing that man and saying he’s the greatest interviewer. Literally peanut of a brain. Use the whole thing my guy and try to see all sides inside of your main man who is a literal creep, Howard stern. Jared is just like him. Will only see his side and think he’s right no matter what. Until he’s exposed after enough time.

  • Love the Pod

    Just want to say I love the pod. Also, if you run away from a high energy puppy, they will think you are playing and jump on you. Jared moving toward Ron is actually what you want to do. You have to be assertive with what you want from a dog. Stay calm. Don’t pet or talk to him when he’s excited. Let him calm down and then reward the calm. A daily hour walk does wonders for high energy dogs.

  • Already out of touch

    Only months into seriously dating, Jared sounds painfully out of touch with singleness and has acquired a smugness that’s off putting. Can’t imagine if he was still single he would agree with Jordana’s “Delete the apps for the rest of the year” advice. Bummer.

  • Overstimulating.

    Jared and Jordan’s recent take on being overstimulated is so tone deaf, and ignorant. They say a lot of rude stuff and I kept brushing it off, but I’m finally done. Hey guys, maybe not the best idea to talk trash about your listeners.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Do Men Actually Want on Their Wedding Night?
Q: Hi, J&J. Subscriber here. We need a judgment about a trivial wedding-night situation involving a dress.
They propose two playful solutions: either undress in a sexy way with the wedding dress and later switch to a different “sex dress” or replace the dress with a second, more practical option to satisfy both fantasy and practicality; the hosts lean toward a creative compromise that preserves the dress while keeping the moment exciting.
The Situationship Trap Nobody Talks About
Q: What's your reaction to the beach-picnic date as a dating move?
It's an example of trying to impress, which can backfire if the other person doesn't want that level of production; the key is compatibility and clear communication about comfort levels.
The Situationship Trap Nobody Talks About
Q: When is 'exclusive' meaningful in real life versus just a signal to avoid others while still not being in a real relationship?
Exclusive often signals a plan to pause dating others, but it can exist without a formal commitment, depending on how both people define and enforce boundaries.
The Situationship Trap Nobody Talks About
Q: What's your take on the Love Island labeling and the definitions people use in real life?
Reality shows highlight the pressure to assign labels quickly, but in real life, labels are less important than clear communication and aligning on what each person wants from the relationship.
The Situationship Trap Nobody Talks About
Q: Why do terms like 'situationship' feel messy, especially when family or friends are involved?
Because labels become a social signal of commitment; people seek clarity to avoid awkward conversations or perceived judgment, especially when families show up and expectations shift.
