You know how every dilemma comes with an angel on one shoulder telling you the right thing to do and a devil on the other who wants you to ignore your better instincts? This week, Jeff's playing both parts, giving you perfect, textbook advice and then advice for what to do when you inevitably ignore it. From unexpected breakups to age-gap relationships, he offers two takes: the smart move and the 'I know you’re not going to listen' move. So, if you’re caught between what you should do and what you’re tempted to do, Jeff’s got you covered.

Petty Texting, Breaking Patterns, and Same Name
Natalie Morales is an actor and director. You’ve seen her on shows like Santa Clarita Diet, Parks and Recreation, and Grey’s Anatomy. (And so many other things.) Her film Plan B was released in 2021. She joins Jeff this week to play the role of the friend your therapist secretly loves and give the no b.s. advice you need to hear but would probably make you fire your therapist if they said it. She’s helping Jeff answer questions about keeping the spark alive, breaking dating patterns, petty texting, and whether or not it’s weird to date someone with your name.
