    30 Taylor Swift Shows Later… Red Flag?
    Oct 1 2025
    Jared starts off the podcast with a redflag dealbreaker he heard: a straight guy has been to 30 Taylor Swift concerts. He and Jordana debate whether it makes him a groupie, a walking turn-off, or just a man who unapologetically loves what he loves. They help a woman who writes in who is dating without wanting kids, and why singles constantly get dismissed with “maybe you’ll change your mind.” A listener wonders if it’s icky or picky that her chef boyfriend eats PB&J every single day, and another listener confesses a crush that ends with the dreaded “don’t wait for me.” Plus, J&J prove that the best dates can cost just $10, and break down what it really means when your partner hides a secret Finsta!

    Is It Rude to Ask For a Plus One?
