Summary

Fall is for flirting, but dating comes with its own set of challenges, especially when reality TV obsessions, sports fandom, or constant phone use get in the way. Jared and Jordana break down what makes a relationship work, from the perfect season for flirting to navigating jealousy and attention struggles. They explore how being overly attached to your phone can impact intimacy and connection. The hosts also tackle first date ex talk, navigating a partner’s sports obsessions, and even the quirks and turnoffs of vanity plates. Plus, Jordana shares the mix up when she confuses her husband’s favorite football team, the Jets, with the Giants. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
