Summary

J&J are back with a fresh batch of dating dilemmas! First, Jordana’s journey into puppy parenthood has her seeing dog owners in a whole new light! But when a listener’s date casually mentions feeding their dog human food and giving it steroids, is that just a quirky habit or a major red flag? Jared and Jordana break down what pet parenting says about a person (and their dating potential). Then, they tackle a frustrating situation: What do you do when your friend hypes up a great guy but refuses to make the intro? They unpack the psychology behind "gatekeeping" in dating, why some people hesitate to set up their friends, and whether this guy is even interested or just a fantasy. Jared tells us how to ask your friends to set you up!! Plus, a wild dating scenario involving a guy who refuses to give oral (and thinks that’s normal?!) and another where a date finds their own dad’s headshot saved in someone’s phone. Tune in for laughs, hot takes, and some very strong opinions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
