The Life of BryonyWhen Your Ex Turns Your Relationship Into Stand-Up ComedyIn this bonus episode, I put your juiciest dating dilemmas to podcasting legends James and Jamie - and, unsurprisingly, things get very real, very fast. We talk about being “too much” on a first date (spoiler: I might be Gemma), whether asking about bum stuff too early is a vibe killer, and the dangers of transactional dating apps.
We also dive into something deeply awkward – when your ex turns your relationship into stand-up material. Is it catharsis or just plain rude? Oh, and Jamie once dated a magician… which ends exactly how you’d expect.
