- Life is full of hopeless romantics, but when does it become too unrealistic, like your favorite romantic comedy movie? In this week's episode, Jon and Alex answer a listener's question about her quest for love, which could potentially ruin a friendship. Additional topics include peeing in the shower, cheating being acceptable in certain cultures, and narcissistic tendencies in relationships.
I really enjoy how you guys don’t fake your relationship tired of watching people faking that they are perfect glad you guys talk about the ups and downs keep rocking ❤
17:50 John saying: “Thank you for breaking down that for me” reminded me of the dynamic between me and my boyfriend. I have ADHD and he really helps me navigate through adulthood. Simple things can be complicated for neurodivergent people. ❤
100% do not tell your friend you like him while he is in a relationship. #TeamAlex on this one.
This is the first just regular podcast that I actually enjoyed. Thank y’all for being so real and fun.
I was in the situation described in the question about the girl who had a crush on her friend... except I was the girlfriend. He ended up leaving me for her. It was the right thing for all of us because they were better for each other than us... but it still hurt.
I say it's best to tell him the truth but it's his decision who he chooses. If he decides to remain with his girlfriend let him go. Don't hang on hoping he changes because that hurts everyone.
Also speaking as the girlfriend.. I knew there were feelings.
This podcast makes me look forward to Tuesdays! You guys are so easy to watch and keep it real. New fav podcast hands down
Alex’s dolphin laugh at 20:10 was epic 😂
10:00 The main thing to think about when dating someone older is when they turn 60 & you’re 40, you will have to start to take care of your spouse when you may be still capable & full of life. You have to decide if you’re willing to do that.
i love how sometimes Alex is smiling and looks very happy even though she is reading some extremely sad question
If this pod starts getting *bleeps* I will be so mad! The cursing is the personality and it's funny.
Love love love listening to this!!
Thank you guys for being so authentic, it’s refreshing. 🙂
LOVE. Can’t get enough of these two. I genuinely LOL listening/watching you guys. Keep doing what you’re doing!!
No!!! You should absolutely NOT say something to the friend that you have feelings for them! It's so disrespectful and unacceptable!!!
I started watching you guys for about a month now and I LOVE watching your podcast. I’ve watched almost all your videos since I use it to help my chores, getting ready and time spent with my bf even he likes watching your videos😂😂 You guys keep it real, so funny and I genuinely enjoy listening to what your opinions! Keep up the amazing work
This would be my response to this question if they are truly friends (44:35)... "I know this is going to change the dynamic of our relationship, but I need to get this off my chest. I have feelings for you. I don't think I can continue our friendship; I thought you should know so it didn't catch you off guard as to why I started distancing myself."
I love you guys!! you literally make my day!! I laugh so freaking much every time 😆
41:04 I think you are perfectly within your rights to tell someone how you feel whether they are married, dating, or not. With that being said you need to prepare yourself for the consequences of that whether positive or negative. He might leave his girlfriend for you because he also has feelings for you; however, keep in mind if he is willing to do that for you, he may also be willing to do that to you if another girl comes along that he views as a better option. He may also decide that he doesn’t feel the same way and no longer wants to be friends. As someone who is in a relationship and has been for 7 years I trust that if a girl approaches my partner and confesses feelings for him that he will kindly turn her down and is more than capable of cutting her off if he feels creeped out by the situation.
The visuals for the podcast is a game changer!! I look forward to every Tuesday! 😊🎉
Yay! Thank you!
Oh and as a Psych major from back in my college days…there are narcissistic traits that people can develop or be born with (these are usually less severe and don’t meet the criteria of a personality disorder) and then there is also Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which is one of 10 personality disorders that is usually caused by a mixture of environmental and biological causes. A personality disorder is resistant to treatment and is more severe and pervasive than just having some narcissistic traits.
100% agree with Alex on Rom-com question.
I like how Jon focuses on the person asking the question/advice and not all other players in the scenario. Gotta stay on topic!
Watching this from Stuttgart in Germany - every week - and being absolutely in love with both of you!
1 vote for Koby getting a sibling! Another boy so it could be Koby and Kai!
You made me cry! I algo adore my dog!!❤
I have to say having 2 dogs is so much better then one and it’s easier honestly. I highly recommend!
Mm the situation of the woman having feelings for her male friend who's in a relationship is tough. I say tell him. If she can't move on without ending the friendship, she should tell him. It'll be pretty sad for the friendship to end for seemingly no reason. He'd be hurt by that since they're close. I think she should tell him while knowing that they might never be able to be friends again after. If he rejects her but is okay with staying friends, I don't know how it would work out between her and his gf. They probably won't ever get along. I guess the other option is to not cut things off but slowly distance and find other people to spend time with and maybe like even more than him until the feelings subside, then feel free to tell him what was going on.
I don't pee in the shower anymore but I used to. I had to train myself out of it, it was pretty difficult to resist the urge. Now I'll go to the toilet before a shower. As for the hair thing, yeah it's gross but I don't mind as long as the person gets rid of the hair after they're done. What else were they supposed to do with the hair? It's not good to let it go down the drain and it's much more gross having to pull it out
I see ya'lls fahlo bracelets :) Also, to the quickie about the guy studying with a girl. He is one on one with another girl in a location he did not tell you about. Not saying he is cheating, but to the girl the guy is dating it is gonna look suspicious. The GF supports him studying I'd imagine. The problem is not what he is doing, I think the issue is the fact he lied about it which is why this looks bad and makes the Gf feel weird. She would just like to be told the truth on where he is going.
Just a suggestion. I notice you guys don’t have direct links to your social media accounts or anything you sponsor in your descriptions for each video. maybe adding it will help listeners follow other pages/accounts. Just something I’ve seen with other UA-camrs.
Y’all posted this laaaaate! Give it to me straiiiiight! But maybe it’s automated and it posts on its own… lol either way here 👏🏼 for 👏🏼 it!👏🏼🎉❤
Alix, it's "Hunky dory", not "Honky dory" 😂😂😂
Wish they would timestamp these stories.
Love this podcast, seriously makes me laugh so hard! Just to straighten things out Mormons don't practice polygamy, the FLDS practice polygamy.
We need a picture of the puppers ❤
Narcissism is entirely based on the environment and can be developed in a short amount of time. If the environment is conducive to inflating egos and elitist mentality a person with a vulnerability in self-esteem and/or feeling a purpose can easily develop a narcissistic personality. In the event of Kanye, the fame attached to a vulnerable area of his and it progressively got worse the more his fans validated his god complex.
Knowing the location is cool but getting into deets like “is she hot?” Is ridiculous. Especially if the guy is focused on his degree and trying to pass. Agree with John I’ll be MAD AF. Stress should not outweigh support
Demonetized 😂
Get Koby a human sibling ;)
I feel like the obvious answer here is to get one of your fathers to fix it, get a father to pay for it OR the better answer, clean the house (you can hire people to do that too) 😅
Is john (Jon?) a fellow Hokie?
I agree with John about the relationship....Just because theres a goalie doesn't mean you cant make a goal.
shane does WHAT
Narcissism is a personality disorder
How is tapping your mouth while sleeping a trend now? I've just started seeing ads for this mouth tape company.
It worst why are pee in the toile
I can’t wait it because Alex is always freaking interrupting him!! Like damn girl! How you gonna ask him a question then legit talk OVER or WITH him as he is answering. Girl get a grip. You ain’t the main show
WATCH****
While reading this I noticed him interrupting her. imo their shares of the conversation are pretty balanced and no one means to be rude they just like talking lol
Relaxxxxx 😂😂😂
