Why Love Island’s Casa Amor Isn’t A Real World Risk || U Up? Podcast || Ep. 571

Long intro lovers, today is your day! J&J have a lot to unload this week, from the one quality Jordana’s husband isn’t in love with to Jared’s weekend in the Hamptons with Hannah Berner, and a one-and-done take on this season of Love Island USA and that Casa Amor shakeup. Next, J&J get an email from a listener four years into her relationship and itching to know whether I do’s will ever be in their future. The Awkward Encounter is a trip down memory lane. Then, a male listener writes in wondering how his female coworker is getting so much attention on Hinge (no offense). The episode ends with a “Red Flag or Deal Breaker?” about changing dating app photos, misused prompts, and an uncomfortable date.

Don’t attach to the outcome is such solid advice for every area of your life! Game changer when you can lose the expectations and just enjoy the experience

Jordana no one hates you cause you’re rich and live in a mansion. 😝 We’re actually soooooo happy for you! Jared is right, accepting who you are is important in the internet - as in ppl hate douchbags who happen to be rich. You’re the realest!!! Look at Leah from love island. Apparently she’s rich and everyone loves her cause she’s so real. But also show us your house pleaseeee!

[@AmandaTenen]

42 min mark. Jared learning about ‘alien shit’ eggs shrinking is the funniest thing that’s happened to me in a while.

[@essirhodes6129]

Please never stop the jokes about jordanas house 😂 just let it keep getting crazier!

[@essirhodes6129]

Idk what I love more, Jared's exaggeration of the house or how riled up it gets Jordana 🤭

[@jaredfreid]

Love island enters the podcast!!!

[@mystilettolife]

A hot new bombshell has entered the podcast...

[@JasmineBVlogs98]

If I was rich, I’d probably never shut up about it. Or just be humble. Embrace your hard work, Queen

[@jennyvous]

What happened to the color grading on this video? It's too bright and saturated...

[@Xatriaful]

I thought it was my TV. Thanks for the comment

[@chrristiinaaa]

Agreed !!

[@hkholverson]

100000000%, the brightness and contrast are far too boosted!!

[@alexandramontoya7812]

Imagine if you watched podcasts as they started. Audio only. Who cares this much to complain about a free platform???

[@chrristiinaaa]

@@alexandramontoya7812 i meaaaan I like to watch on KZbin and I think j&j&c will prob appreciate feedback on audio/visuals..

[@esikazemese]

Hah, I just asked my bf 2 days ago what is my most annoying thing, It was not an uncomfortable conversation, obviously he has traits that bothers me and vice versa :D I think it's a good convo - unless you are in a rut already , then it can turn hurtful. I disagree that you can't change after 35, we are both passed that and I can totally see how my patience is making him comfortable to talk about his issues and hopefully helping him work on those. I believe that we can always work on ourselves.

[@AllisonIntheCity]

Agree. I'm much more mentally healthy now than when I was 35! (I'm 38 now.)

[@a.h.4533]

The moment Jordana teaches Jared what the ovarian reserve is and he genuinely is shocked with glee is why this is great on KZbin

[@AllisonIntheCity]

It sounds like the 28 year old who wants to get engaged never fights with her boyfriend because they never talk. How could you be together for 4+ years and not have talked about a timeline for marriage? Also, ladies (and gents!), stop sleeping with guys before you get at least some kind of exclusivity out of them. I'm not advocating for waiting until marriage (that's DUMB IMO) and I had my fair share of casual shit in my day, but I was much happier after I stopped sleeping with randos I was dating until they were at the very least not sleeping with anyone else. No guy ever had a problem with me setting that boundary either.

[@mystilettolife]

I would say this is a personal decision and women should sleep with whomever they want when they want but I would generally agree women are more affected by sex and get attached faster because of it. But if a guy is going to leave you after you slept with him - it really doesn't matter when you do it. That's more of a reflection on him than you.

[@AllisonIntheCity]

@@mystilettolife One hundred percent sleep with who you want to, but also maybe don't sleep with people before you get to know them because you're putting yourself at risk for STIs, pregnancy, etc.

[@sailorvvvxo]

I feel like you guys should watch love Island. Jared watches the bachelor so it really helps him gain a lot more perspective on various outloosk of dating not just his own. And jordana I feel like it would very much benefit you and this podcast just to gain the same perspective or different outlook of how people react because it’s in real time in your face. It’s truly incredible.

[@kristithompson8757]

You two are awesome

[@sailorvvvxo]

Jordana start by watching the second episode of love island. That’s what I do. It’s an amazingggg case study of how relationships start and deteriorate. It’s truly emotional and real.

[@uuppodcast]

i did not do as good of a job at selling why she should watch as you all have been in comments and dms, so we're close to convincing her now!!! 🙌

[@sailorvvvxo]

It’s a mustttt! Honestly, I wish I saw it in my 20s. I could’ve saved myself from a lot of embarrassment in dating watching the way these relationships pan out. Or would’ve allowed me to see the excuses guys make up or how guys act when they actually don’t like you, but want to keep you around just in case.

[@kararosem]

Omg I still have ptsd from the Nancy Jo episode

[@sailorvvvxo]

And no. I’m a big love island watcher and yes some of the guys at casa amor are impulsive animals for sure. And then the other guys who cheat at Casa you could tell they’re good guys who just got swayed. And the way these two type of guys handle the repercussions of their actions are so different. The guy who realizes he just got swayed is so vulnerable and apologetic. And the fuck boy is barely apologetic, giving excuses that he thinks makes him look good. So yeah, one is definitely an animal, but there’s always that one guy who gets swayed by being around his boys. And I see it with almost every reality show.

Catching up on episodes…Jordana, do you have ADHD? As a fellow late diagnosed ADHDer, a lot of your struggles sound like it! Losing things, starting little fights, being messy, etc
