Jared shares a hilarious story about being approached by Hannah Berner’s cousin, including a moment where he is told to look less “miserable” during a mid-Florida night out. They share fun family memories, and Jordana recalls Lindsay Lohan’s BETCHES cameo that was a highlight this year. They then get into listener questions and debate how old is too old to play video games and why it is frustrating when your partner hides their hobby. Next, they tackle an “icky or picky” scenario about a date who brought an overnight bag, which is thoughtful but a little presumptuous. J&J also weigh in on red flags versus dealbreakers, including staying friends with an ex, unsolicited critiques about your apartment, and being asked to pay for a date at the last minute. It is a fun episode you do not want to miss!
