Is He Really Busy Or Is It Just An Excuse To Pull Away? || U Up? Podcast || Ep. 587

Jordana is back from her trip to "Fra" and we’re getting a full recap, which includes her very own Britney Spears moment. Then, in a strange turn of events, we get a dramatic reading of a Chappell Roan song from Jared. Next, we hear from a listener who has an unwanted third person in her relationship: her boyfriend’s brother. J&J try to read between the lines and figure out what this actually means for her relationship. Then, an Awkward Encounter from a listener whose mom opened a very private package. Finally, a love story from a listener who met her dream guy at the Renaissance faire. Is it too far-fetched to travel to another state to pursue her (maybe) knight in shining armor? The episode ends with a round of “Red Flag or Deal Breaker,” in partnership with Angry Orchard, including a partner with a very sexy hobby, a kiss with a childhood crush, and a first date who chose an interesting seat.

Hearing Jared pronounce Chappell Roan is equivalent to boomers pronouncing Chipotle

The brother is not a canard- he’s a red herring! 🐟

10/10 episode

Always love your show! As a salsa dancer I don’t think salsa dancing is the real issue given that many pros and beginners have their own partners which are dancers and sometimes non dancers it’s very common in the culture. However (of course) there are some people who use Latin dancing just be weird or to cheat. Most seasoned dancers stay away from those people. But yeah the buying women drinks is kind of weird so overall that guy is a red flag but the salsa dancing alone isn’t… to meee 😁

Laughed out loud at grubby little fingers

I’m obsessed with Chappell rn, so good. I think in Casual she’s talking about a girl tho

[@thenewarkcabinvt1186]

Came here to say this!

Astute take on the 🚩 emailer Jordana, while I also wouldn’t want to sit at a bar on a first date I think you nailed it by pointing out she didn’t seem to demonstrate any agency in the situation. Overall, a helpful observation.

[@esikazemese]

I was thinking immediately maybe it's hot outside and he doesn't want to sweat! But I agree 100% , she was very judgy co-dependent / can't speak her mind and resents other people for it.

[@AgusLearnsPvP]

I struggle with the brother story because the mailer doesn't say what does it mean "we don't hang out as often." She also specifies that they do hang out, but with their brother around. It sounded to me like the nature of their relationship changed and not as much that he pulled back. It could simply be that four months after he still likes her and wants to spend time with her, but also doesn't need to have sex every day. I am not sure that I would read it instantly as a negative. He also is introducing her to his brother and making her part of his life.

[@i-lon3185]

29:32 I don't believe those statements can be used interchangeably just by the idea that one of the parties involved may get emotionally attached, prematurely, just by fking regularly. However, you could simply just want to test the waters from that 1x occurrence before deciding to continue lol 🧠 Which on the other hand, it almost sounds nonsensical to not wanna continue having good times with someone you had intentionally planned on having with on the first date, if that makes sense? It's like checking off a box ✔️ My point is, one does in fact make more sense than the other
