Where to Start

Do You Really Need Instagram to Date?

It’s summer and Jordana’s pool dreams are on pause thanks to Long Island’s signature pace: dial-up internet speed! She and Jared unpack the clash between millennial efficiency and suburban business hours. Then, it’s a deep dive into modern dating quirks: should you cone or cup it on an ice cream date (and what does it say about you)? Plus, a howling ritual sparks a debate, red flag or just a full moon vibe? They also weigh in on whether a social media presence is a dating necessity or just mental clutter. From wolf howls to Insta reboots, it’s a perfect storm of pool drama, personal growth, and pizza-fueled revelations!

How to Nail the First Date Look

In this episode of U Up?, Jordana and Jared get cozy (Jordana’s new super soft tomato-knit top yes plz) and tackle the fine line between a compliment and a fashion read. “Comfortable” isn’t always a compliment! From decoding the art of dressing for a first date (hint: you only need one killer outfit) to unpacking the emotional baggage of co-parenting and overly close ex-relationships, they cover it all. Listener dilemmas spark juicy discussions about red flags, cringey sexual phrasing, and what it really means when your date goes through your purse. It’s a full rundown of fashion, feelings, and the fine print of modern dating. Tune in for real talk, relationship strategy, and a healthy dose of laughter! Check it out on YT too!👉 https://youtu.be/gPiif2pcZC8

Hinge Warned Me She Was a Scammer!

This week’s Friday Feels kicks off with Jared reading a wild email straight from Hinge warning him that he may have matched with a scammer, which shocks Jordana but begs the question, did she have big boobs? From there, J&J spiral into a hilarious breakdown of dating app red flags and how scams somehow still get the swipe! Jordana defends her claim that eating tuna on a plane isn’t a crime, a lot of people love tuna! Then it’s time for some truly petty (or prudent?) listener emails, including one woman who stayed rent-free in her ex’s house and pulled off a stealth open house heist. Another listener hooked up with her downstairs neighbor and is now dodging plans, clingy texts, and sunburn lotion requests! Tune in on YouTube too! 👉 https://youtu.be/wzbXie8USpE
