Summary

J & J start the show with a debate about whether or not it’s okay to be on your phone when you’re watching a movie with your significant other. Do they have a right to get annoyed if you’re not paying attention to the screen? Next, a listener writes in to ask whether or not she should stay together with her boyfriend just for an expensive vacation. Is it unfair to take advantage of the trip if you’re not planning to stick around? The Awkward Sexual Encounter involves a naked stranger and a carpet fire. Next, an emailer asks why her long term hookup keeps trying to reconnect with her despite having a girlfriend. After, they’re joined by Jordana’s very own sister, clinical psychologist and licensed therapist Dr. Naomi Bernstein. They start with a conversation about couples in therapy, trying therapy before you get married, and figuring out when it’s time to admit things aren’t working. Then they answer a listener email asking whether or not it’s okay to hide evidence of her troubled past on a first date. Do they have the right to know up front about your past struggles, or is it fair to save that for down the road? They finish out the show with a game of Red Flag or Deal Breaker and a debate about how long you should wait to text after the first time you sleep together.

0:33.6	Hello and welcome back to the U-Up podcast. I'm Jordana Eberhem. And I am Jared Fried, so good to be
0:39.8	back here with you, Jordana. It's great to be back with you. We have a special guest at the end
0:43.9	of this episode who happens to be my sister. Very exciting, very cool to see the dynamic between
0:49.5	you two. She's great. She's like, like, way better mom than my mom. Not to get too into it, but she's
0:58.6	the talk shit episode. This is a throw mom under the bus. This is a talk shit episode, but my sister's
1:03.3	10 years older than me. She's the 10 years older than me. She's the licensed therapist. So we've
1:10.0	had similar experiences, but we're not so close that we've ever really had to share anything
1:16.4	really. We live together, but not in years where they were annoying. She's just a great,
1:25.3	like, maternal figure. She's a great therapist. It was nice to have, and I said this during our
1:33.6	interview, nice to have the backboard. Nice to have someone there. When you have a professional,
1:41.0	she's a professional, she's a doctor. So it's like, we're saying things, Willie Nilly, and then I
1:47.2	keep looking over her. I'm like, she hasn't said stop yet. She's the least judgmental person
1:54.0	I've ever met. She's very, very down to earth. Again, because she's like 10 years older than me,
2:00.0	she kind of like has done everything that I've done 10 years ago. So she's had like that space to
2:05.0	just end like, I mean, obviously she doesn't not my therapist, but she can relate to like everything
2:09.6	I have going on because she did it a long enough time ago that she sees how it turns out.
2:13.8	And you're going to hear that at the end of the show. It's really great to have her on,
