They start out with a discussion about two NY Post articles about “golden penis syndrome” and divorce rates among couples who met on dating apps. Then they discuss the new Hinge voice recording feature and whether or not they would use it on their own profiles.

How To Handle A Breakup With A Coworker

On this week’s Sunday Special, Jared and Jordana are helping a listener who’s going through a break up with a coworker.

Plus, they discuss his motives for ignoring her. Finally, they play Sunday Swiping Scaries with dating app prompts submitted by our Instagram followers.
