Behind the BJ podcast

We are back! Yes, we know… you've missed us, and we missed you too! We took the month of July off, but we are back now. This week we keep things pretty light and give everyone a quick recap of what has kept us busy the past month. We're sorry that we left you for a few weeks, but the entertainment will pick right back up from here!

What an episode we have for you this week! We are interviewing Nathan, a friend of ours who has led a crazy life that included a years long battle with drugs and alcohol. We talk to Nate about his battle and his long road to recovery, along with a slew of other fun and interesting stories he has in his arsenal - both dating and generally. This one will get you laughing, but we dive into some tough material too… definitely NSFW!

This week Jason and Brandye welcome another exciting guest onto the podcast! Donna Chin lives in LA where she finds herself immersed in the inner circles of the rich and sometimes famous. She discusses with us the LA dating scene, what it was like going on a date with her childhood celebrity crush, and struggling with her latest romantic challenges - dating a man who is less than available and coming to terms with the fact that he just won't choose only her.

Our world is in turmoil. Between the stresses of the Covid-19 pandemic and, even more so, the current events that have once again highlighted the racial divide in this country and around the world, it is impossible to be neutral in our political stands these days. Politically, this country has become completely polarized. In this episode, we take a look at how this can play out in relationships. Can you date someone who with different political leanings than yourself? Do you want to be able to? If you do love someone who leans toward the other side of the aisle, how can you find healthy ways to make that relationship work? We'll explore this and more in this week's new episode of Behind the BJ.

We welcome another wonderful guest into our studio for this week's fun episode! As you may tell from the title, our main topic revolves around how to deal with the pressure that family and some friends can place on us to settle down and have a family, even when so many other things in our lives are going so well. Our favorite Chicago educator and socialite from across the pond joins us to chat about this. While here, we also find out what brought Danielle to Chicago, our mutual love of our city, differences between dating Brits and Americans, the importance of and changing stigma around going to therapy, and a few other fun things.

In these crazy quarantine times, it can be hard to fulfill certain… needs! While you may not want to start breaking social distance rules with total strangers, it can be tempting to act on the unspoken sexual chemistry between you and your friend. In today's episode Brandye and Jason look at the age old situation of being "Friends with Benefits".

It can be a difficult road to navigate. What if you or the other person catches feelings? How do you keep it truly just casual. Do you keep things on the DL or not? We'll look at ways to ensure your FWB stays an "F"… unless of course you both want to take things to the next level!

Brandye and Jason attempt to use technology to their benefit in their first ever Zoom podcast recording. In this week's episode they'll tackle the subject of "Long Distance Relationships". Having both experienced the ups and downs of LDRs in the past, B&J will discuss the tips, tricks, and challenges of trying to maintain a relationship with miles in between! Luckily, some advancements in technology (Hello FACETIME!) has made things slightly easier, but make no mistake… the LDR takes some careful maneuvering and isn't for everyone!

In this episode Brandye and Jason delve into dating "types". As in, do you have a type (spoiler alert: most of you do), why do you have a type, and is it wise to try and date someone who matches what you think you want in a partner, or maybe expand your horizons just a bit?

We'll also reflect on life today vs. just one month ago, and how much things have changed, etiquette while on video calls,

As we all slide into our 4th week of being quarantined and socially distanced, Brandye and Jason discuss their thoughts on the current state of the world, how they are feeling about everything, and some of the different ways they have been trying to pass the time.

We give updates on our current TV lineups, tips on staying sane while staying inside (mostly), and of course… sex lives during the quarantine! While we are all struggling at the moment, Behind the BJ is here to hopefully provide some comic relief during the pandemic! Stay home, stay healthy (Listen to our podcast!)… we will all get through this together!
