  • Moving forward in life isn’t always the easiest step to take, especially with the risks involved. The uncertainty of what lies ahead can cause any person to question their next move. In this episode, Jon and Alex answer listener questions about asking out a coworker, a boyfriend stealing his girlfriends dream job, what guys really mean in their text messages, and when your entire friend group turns a blind eye to a traumatic event.

Basically came to an agreement that no matter what, our friendship takes priority no matter what. Still friends to this day

    I totally feel the airport ick. We had to sprint from one terminal to another recently, the couple in front of us in the breezeway between the plane and the terminal walked slowly side by side blocking the path of everyone else. The plane was late, other people were also going to have to run to another terminal, and the man in this couple told my husband he wasn't moving out of the way for us. They kept it up until they were out in the terminal beside the people waiting to board, and the woman got extremely offended when people pushed around her.

    Okay as someone who just got back from a trip to Europe, the airport etiquette part CRACKS ME UP.. fucking “coughing in your mouth” 😂 I lost it because of how accurate Alex was with that whole part. Gah people piss me off so much and I’m so glad my husband and I aren’t the only ones who wish people would fuck off and learn manners lol. I’m listening on Spotify but I had to run here and make a comment because that’s just too relatable. I agree with Alex that doing a little something about your listeners travels would be interesting!
    ALSO.. this is for Ep 28, I believe.. that song you guys were singing “one for the [whatever it was that you said, I forget], two for the show”… Jon you said that was probably an old song, which it is, it’s an Elvis song, BUT I think you had Taylor Swift fresh in your brain 😉 Champagne Problems, you’re welcome 😆

    To the person who had to split up with her whole friend group bc of the adulterer fiance...if you're in upstate NY we can be frens 😊 same thing happened to me, and it hurt so bad bc the mutual friend has been my best friend since we were 8 years old. But yea you don't need that-eventually it stings less but give that friend group up and who knows, in the future that mutual friend could wake up and apologize. Or not but don't sweat it.

If it wasn’t sarcasm like they both are in happy relationships and making a joke like yeah haha talk to some hoes and are just being dumb cause that honestly sounds like something my best friend and I would say before like playing Pokémon together like just being stupid
