Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard - Introducing: Monica & Jess Love Boys

Episode Date: February 12, 2020

Monica and Jess Love Boys is a 10 episode series brought to you by the Armchair Expert that follows the relationship struggles of two opposites. Jess, who dates too much and Monica who dates too little. They approach relationships from opposing ends but quickly realize how the underlying issues are universal. Jess dates in the gay community while Monica dates in the straight one. They get to deep dive not only into individual patterns but societal ones as well in the different dating scenes. Through meeting with different experts (therapists, doctors, friends in successful relationships, relationship professionals and the armchair expert himself), they explore and uncover traps and patterns that we all fall into as humans and they ask the age old question- why do we do what we do? However, in keeping with the true armchair spirit- Monica and Jess know talking about problems is not enough. Action is necessary to evoke change. At the end of each episode M&J are given a challenge in an attempt to break bad habits. In one episode Monica is challenged to give a stranger her phone number. In another, Jess is asked to be 100% honest on his dating profiles. As they learn how to partner healthily with others, they grow into healthier individuals as well. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hello, welcome to Monica and Jess Love Boys, a 10 episode, sorry, only 10 episodes, guys. 10 episode podcast brought to you by Armchair Expert. Say hi, Wobby Wob. Hello. And we have a new buddy joining us, Jess. Hi. Jess, you probably remember from Pippi Longstocking in Swedish. He's our resident Houston server and our best friend.

And Jess and I, miniature mouse, come to relationships in two very drastic different worlds. I am straight and never date. And Jess is? I am not straight. And I might, quote unquote, over date or over have sex. It's an understatement, I would say. Yeah. Yeah.

And so we approach dating from two different points of view, but we want the same thing. We both want love. We want a partner. And so we're coming here to break patterns to better ourselves. And we have a lot of experts and guests like our mother, Kristen Bell, our father, Dax Shepard. We have friends of armchair expert, Dr. Drew, Dr. Alex, and so many more fun people to sort of whip us into shape and at the end of each episode we get an assignment, a challenge that we have to complete by the next
