Summary

J&J start the week with a conversation about who gets to decide where you quarantine as a couple. A listener writes in to ask whether her boyfriend of five years should feel obligated to come quarantine with her in her parents’ home. The Awkward Sexual Encounter involves a random flip into the air, a pair of bunnies, and a strange invitation. Plus, Jared shares a hilarious story about a spontaneous flip ruining his night. Then they’re joined by Mark Manson, author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, to talk about his new audiobook Love Is Not Enough. They start with a conversation about the concept of ‘f*ck yes or no’ and why sometimes it’s best for people to just admit it’s time to move on. Together, they answer another emailer’s question about a guy she’s been seeing during the pandemic, and whether or not it will all end the moment quarantine is over. Finally, they close the show with a round of Red Flag or Deal Breaker, including a question about someone you dated adding you on LinkedIn.

0:33.2	Hello and welcome back to the U-Up podcast. I'm Jordana Abraham. And I am Jared-Free,
0:39.6	Jordana. It's so good to see you. How are you? Tell me about your life. What's going on? How's
0:44.6	your quarantine? My quarantine is going well, it's so funny. You're like, what's going on with you?
0:49.6	The same thing that he was putting on last week. I wish there was something else to talk about.
0:57.3	But I did. I was wondering your take on this. I was thinking that we are actually among one of
1:02.2	the best ages to have to be in this situation. We nailed it. I totally agree. As far as what you
1:13.2	would want, okay, so let's talk about it. What would be the perfect quarantine? What for you?
1:19.0	What do you think is the perfect quarantine? I would say the only reason I wish I were maybe
1:24.0	a little bit older is so that I had a real house. With the trappings of a real home with the backyard.
1:36.4	I would say like there's a lot of people I would say single and a lone.
1:42.8	Single childless alone sucks. I think where we are is actually the top of the
1:51.3	the best chart because you have one other person. So you can get a little bit of interaction
1:59.0	with a human. They like and actually have physical touch. And we can get away from them so we
2:06.2	can be alone. Like being married with kids in a suburb to me, you are locked in hell right now.
2:15.6	Right. You got to teach your kids. They're annoying. They're just going crazy all day. It's
2:20.4	I mean, like from I obviously don't know what it's like personally, but like anecdotally, it sounds
2:24.8	like pretty terrible. Your camps are canceled. So you're going to be like this all summer.
