The Moment His TikTok Fame Ruined the Date
4/15/20261 hr 31 min
Are people cheering for me to be in a relationship or single?! Jared talks about how public reactions to his new relationship make him reflect on his dating history and social media pressure, including whether he should post his girlfriend or not. They answer emails, starting with a guy who insists on bringing his dog on a second date and even feeds it from his fork. EW! They also react to a listener who sent a brutally honest rejection text to a “TikTok famous” guy who wouldn’t stop talking about his money, real estate, and trust issues. J&J then debate an email about dating into a wealthy country club family and whether it crosses the line from culture shock into straight-up judgment. Later, a widow’s date asks if she’ll “compare all future partners” to her late husband. We’re calling it a major red flag! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
