Best Gabe Ever

First, personality tests. What's our enneagram number? What's our Myers-Briggs? Are personality tests even useful? Then, they're joined by relationship expert, columnist, and love coach Damona Hoffman who talks all about what makes a great, effective online dating profile, the skills you need to go from pre-date to pre-marriage, the racial biases of dating app data, and how to find exactly what you're looking for. Plus, hypotheticals starring a girlfriend in a coma and an alien who needs to make sure you're not wearing sandals.

Bangs or no bangs, that is the question? The girls start off the show with a VERY important hairstyle discussion. Allison and Gaby then advise a listener who feels guilty that she doesn't enjoy being around her partner's nine year old. And the episode wraps up with a lovely discussion of who we should or shouldn't judge. (Basically only people who aren't taking Covid seriously. WEAR A MASK PEOPLE.)

Allison and Gaby are joined by bat expert and lover Merlin Tuttle. Merlin shares his own experiences with these incredible animals and explains why they don't deserve their bad reputation. He then plays an epic game of hypotheticals, which is almost as shocking as his bat facts!

It's our 100th episode of the podcast, baby!!

Gaby and Allison give a listener their thoughts on how to compassionately break up with someone who is still in love with them AND how to get back in touch with an old flame. Then, in honor of this special milestone, they share the best advice they've given and received and how that advice has allowed them to grow and change over time. Plus, Allison bought Melisa a Hinge Premium account for her birthday and we're all too invested in Melisa's love life.

Thank you all for joining us on this wild ride! Here's to a hundred more!

A second hit of JBU?! How did you get so lucky! This Friday, we interview our highly esteemed guest, education activist Fatima Iqbal-Zubair. We discuss the history of inequalities in schools, the continued unfair disadvantages of schools in low-income communities, and what we can do to desegregate schools. Fatima then joins us for HYPOTHETICALS and RATINGS! That's right, we are making the guest rate the episode and it is uncomfortable!

Surprise! Just Between Us is now on both Wednesdays and Fridays. Twice a week, baby! On Wednesdays, we have international questions and topix. On Friday, our interview with a highly esteemed guest. Amazing! In this inaugural Wednesday episode, Gaby and Allison give advice to a listener who wants to maintain a friendship with her friend's ex and they get way too personal about their own break ups. Then, they talk about narrative therapy, the language we use to describe ourselves, and reframing our beliefs about who we are. (tw: domestic violence, fat-shaming, alcoholic parent).

Allison and Gaby try to help a listener who thinks she might be too self-aware for therapy to be helpful. They're then joined by Janet Hardy, the coauthor of The Ethical Slut, to talk all about kink, polyamory and word choice. And finally, fact vs. opinion. Why can no one seem to tell the difference anymore? (tw: d*ke and f*g usage during interview discussion).

Bullock (David Bowie Made Me Gay, The Velvet Mafia) to discuss queer music history and the impact queer people have had on all things music (in front and behind the scenes). And finally, memories! What do we remember and what do we wish we could forget?

They're then joined by social psychologist Dr. Devon Price to talk about laziness (it doesn't exist) and the importance of context before judgement. And finally, found family! Who says you need to be related to be family? (Not us!)
