The Best And Worst Cities To Date In 2024 || U Up? Podcast || Ep. 593

Spooky Season has officially started and Jordana kicks us off with an update about the odd happenings in her apartment building. Then, Jared recounts his own bizarre experience that happened the night before. Plus, they weigh in on WalletHub's "Best and Worst Cities To Date In 2024". The Awkward Encounter turns a listener's kink into an ick. Next, a listener who wants to know why men always seem to always settle down after they end a situationship where they couldn’t commit. The episode ends with a round of “Red Flag or Deal Breaker” in partnership with Netflix, including a shared bathroom debate, a long-distance situationship with friends who are possibly too persuasive, and a vegan surprise.

“Is that my wife?!” will live with me forever!

[@ClaireDiggin]

That whole segment still has me laughing! Will genuinely live with me forever!!

[@NSN749]

Jared and Jordana making fun of what would Jordan possibly do to help the lady had me cracking up so hard. “Does anyone have any dating questions?! AHHHH!!” ☠️😂😂

[@hannahhost]

Same 😂

[@Mario-em1zg]

"Is that my wife?" needs to be on a shirt. haha

[@NSN749]

I’d buy it 😂

[@Lizisfor]

Same. I’d buy it

[@Amanda39795]

Does anybody need a meme is diabolical 😭😭🤣🤣

[@olyviaarmstrong98]

I laughed so hard, I listened to this multiple times yesterday - “is that my wife ?” *calm voice*

[@GarrettLexell]

Jordana’s living in the building from The Shining! That is not safe. Let’s hope they finish adding the new wing so she can move home soon!

[@esikazemese]

I love the jokes, but Jordana, thanks for helping those people! And even if that's not their meetcute, it is definitely an awesome start to that woman's relationship! "Guess who just hyped me up before my first date? Jared Fried!" :D I love that.

[@Lizisfor]

“Is that my wife?!” “Jared needs his alone time”

[@Forgan_Mreeman]

I want that Beach By Noon hat

[@esikazemese]

I totally agree on the bathroom take. We have the toilet separate from the bathroom and that already helps a ton, but my bf is way more sensitive about his intimacy and I was raised by wolves :D But even if you miss the intimacy part, you can still have a bath/shower together, just because you have two bathrooms, doesn't mean the other one can't enter anymore :D

[@alyssastein1413]

The spanking conversation 💀😂

[@cozy_sundays]

I actually think the less people in a city the easier to date. Less choices, people stick to each other

[@TheMegs127]

Here for the Jared + “PA” meet cute!

[@Xatriaful]

Touristic cities, such as Vegas, don't work for dating. A lot of variety but no one is interested in long term

[@camilaraee]

Not Brownsville, TX being listed… 😭😂 that’s tóxico territory

[@SueD.-rx7jl]

So disturbing that I Googled “woman in a suitcase” and ten places popped up that were not Long Island. Is this a new trend!?

[@AllisonIntheCity]

They were probably mostly SVU episodes 😂

[@esikazemese]

That is terrifying.... :(

[@AllisonIntheCity]

I think NYC is one of the best for dating. There are many people (which yes gives the allusion of choice which can be bad) but it's also quite a liberal city (depending on where you live within it). So it's more likely that people here (especially men!) have done some work on themselves and are in or have been in therapy and are better partners because of it (coughjaredcough).

[@esikazemese]

🤣🤣🤣

[@SL-xk5pd]

Columbia, MD being the worst made me laugh, my friend used to live there in her single era 🤣 I can understand the ranking, it’d be at the top of your list if you were a young couple with kid and/or dog. Residential with green spaces, not too far from Baltimore or DC, literally was a planned community. Random fact, the founder is related to Edward Norton. Anyway if the list only included large cities then ppl would have to identify themselves as living there when they’re more like in the furthest suburb so 🤷🏻‍♀️ #hoodfishing

[@user-he3zv5ve1s]

Columbia MD is one of the best places to live in the country. This list is BS!
