Love the pod. Happy subscriber. However, I would be remiss not to implore you both never to have that emotional snake oil salesman on the pod again. I was going to keep this inside, but then I heard it’s your most shared pod. That is wrong. That man is not married. That man is in a cross-continental legal situationship. Jared didn’t need to ask if they have children. Red flag that becomes a deal breaker? not watching tv (or wanting to) with your spouse. That’s all you do. Five stars for you both!

Really enjoy the show!

Writing to say I’m never mad at a long intro. The longer the better, always need more J&J and I’m a subscriber!

Title

Both of them could benefit from taking an executive presentations class so Jordana could get rid of her constant “ums” and “likes” and Jared could stop sounding like a stuttering seagull “I I I”. Would make the podcast much more tolerable to listen to

Been listening to the beginning and feel like Candace has been an amazing addition.

I absolutely love this podcast and think Jared and Jordana do a great job of showing multiple perspectives and insight on many relationship issues. My only complaint is that of all the podcasts I listen to, this one definitely has the most ads. I don’t know if this is the case with all betches Podcasts but it’s almost 1/3 of the episode for the Sunday specials.

J and J are soulmate collaborators. It is a complete joy to listen to them, two people doing their thing/what they were born to do, with each other. Will say Candace (Candice?), the producer, chiming in more and more is disruptive and irritating— she is increasingly doing so and its feeling like she just wants to be on the mic.

Love the pod, but took a star off because Jordana and Jared hate on puppies. So that says a lot.

Always funny, always relevant. I LIVE for the long episodes. Two reasonable people with reasonable takes on dating. I also love the friend banter in the beginning of each episode.

Since the Jtrain pod restructured, I prefer to watch on YouTube so I needed a new podcast to have for my commute, during boring parts of work, etc. I’m so glad I gave this a listen even though I’ve been taking a break from dating. Jordana and Jared have awesome comedic chemistry and give great advice. From listening to a few episodes I realized Jared and I had similar childhoods and I also am in my mid 30s and single, so I’m going to bring this up with my therapist haha. Thanks for the laughs and the trauma breakthroughs

Great show, always funny, and one of the most realistic conversations about dating & relationships that you can find. My only note (and this is no shade to the guests), but the episodes with just J&J are always 10x better!

So I’ve listened to dozens of the podcasts & two overwhelming issues here. One-too many ads...like WAY too many to constantly FF through. It sets the tone & clouds the message (since I trust & believe you have one). Second, and most important. I get that this is just a podcast but you seem to only dwell on surface level feelings, if you can even call them feelings? People ask you DEEP questions &....the feedback-It’s like hook up “junk food” advice. There is SO much more going on when it comes to relationships, feelings, love in 2022. All of us in the real world have been though the darkest depths of our existence as feeling humans....please don’t make light of the information people trust you with. As it stands, It’s like relationship advice in Vegas, nothing substantial. People are struggling & a little more empathy would be refreshing & a beacon for those who trust you enough to ask your opinions. I love your personalities but hope you believe in the “always learning” mantra and way of life at some point. Your audience is clearly made up of humans who reach out & trust you. SUCH A BEAUTIFUL GIFT. Please consider that they are looking to you from a place of humility and not pure entertainment.

It IS a big deal to get unsolicited sexual pictures or message. Thankfully Jorge spoke up and called out this behavior as messed up. It’s okay to call out bad behavior as just that and not turn it on the listener. The “mind of the murderer” bit is not only getting old it rings false and out of touch.

Love this show! Jared and Jordana have a great relationship and I love listening to their conversations. They’re similar in sense of humor but different enough in personality that they can bring unique perspectives to each situation. I’m also a subscriber and really enjoy the benefits episodes!

I wish the Esther Perel podcast had been solo Jordana. Jared was obviously unprepared and was offensive at times. You’re going to open up hosting the world’s most well-known, respected relationship expert by asking her what took so long to come on the show? Just ugh / so cringy. Embarrassed on his behalf for this one. Know your guest.

The editing has gotten a little sloppy where whole conversations are repeated or cut right in the middle

Anyone that listens to U UP says it’s their top favorite! If you’re not a Benefits subscriber- you NEED to be. Learning about Jordana’s rock star life is worth it alone!

The latest episode (Mar 19th 2024) cuts off like mid sentence

I love their humor, their banter, and they give great advice, the live shows are also great. It’s so nice to hear the men’s POV when approaching dating & relationships. I’m a divorced Mom in my 40’s and their advice is just as good for me as it is for someone in their 20’s. I’m also a big fan of Oversharing.

This is my go-to comfort show. I think you guys have such a cool way of being funny and casual that it helps me relax and get a good laugh. Also I live in Boca so it’s always funny hearing Jared talk about it. 10/10!

First of all, Jordana, please remember: the fact that you got married does not mean it’s going to stay that way. Please save your newly found “secure” attachment and “wisdom” and show some compassion to people who write in instead. Regardless, some advice is on point and must be especially helpful for people in their early 20s. However, this narrow-minded endogamic attitude hosts sometimes display come off borderline xenophobic and extremely provincial. Glorifying things like only dating “their own kind” (Jewish/from the same region), picking a partner based on how similar their family is to yours and “whether they own a beach house” (quoting Jared), or saying that dating or building a relationship with non-Americans is not really a good idea because you cannot “relate” to each other (an episode about a dating show)... Really? Have you ever been abroad for longer than two weeks? Some international travel is overdue. Having a popular podcast is such a great opportunity to broaden your audience’s and your own worldview and encourage people not to get complacent in dating, and you have no intellectual capacity to grasp how much you’re missing out on by catering to the most basic sector of your audience and not expanding your worldview… Not even going to get into Jared’s mental health issues. Thank god, he’s not 10% away from other men, because then I’d be single forever. Jordana, lose this cohost and please push yourself more like you do on Oversharing…

I loved the LIB reunion! I though it was the best yet! I loved seeing the OGs! Why aren’t isn’t anybody talking about Johnny’s no vows ….

Love the show and love the idea of the SOS episode, but…maybe ask the person coming on to have an outline or timeline to speak to with a clear question and desired outcome in mind. The latest episode with the young lady from Texas was just so hard to listen to. It was hard to follow and felt like quite a lot to have to catch up to. Just a suggestion, not a judgement, things that bounce around or require hosts to ask so many follow up questions are very hard to keep up with.

Been listening for years! Always enjoyed it. Jordana is getting funnier and funnier, love her

Everyone asks why I listen to a dating podcast when I’ve been in a relationship (married now) for literally most of my life but I can’t get enough of J&J. I feel like the podcast keeps me up to date with all the craziness happening in the single world. I think I like listening to how people view certain situations and I feel validated in my opinions because I share so many of their same views. I find myself often bringing up your topics and red flag or deal breakers to my husband over dinner. I like how the show is always evolving and working on improving. Please don’t stop your banter and the 30 minute intro convos about your personal lives. We’re into it! 🙃

As a 41 year old happily married mother of 2, I’d trade it all for Jared’s apartment. (Just kidding… kinda) I love this show so much. Thanks for the HAs

I’ve been listening daily for a year. At first I couldn’t get enough. I even went to see Jared’s standup show. Now 39 year old Jared is saying “Big Dog” and barking like some 19 year old frat guy. Super douchey! You’re making me question why I’m listening to a podcast about dating from a 39 year old guy who hasn’t had a successful relationship in a while. And a married woman who hasn’t been in the dating scene for 4? Years? At least Jordanna has been successful in a relationship, is inquisitive, and encourages women to have some boundaries. Upside of Jared is he snaps women out of the delusional ideas of what they think men might be thinking. Sorry guys, I’m going to take a break and check back later.

This might have been my favorite episode!

Love Jordana and Jared, their banter and chemistry is unmatched and I love how they both provide unique, insightful takes on dating in a way that gets me cackling through the streets. Makes my commute to work not only bearable but something I look forward to. Don’t ever stop!!

Jordana is funnier than 99% of comedians

This show is not only a bright spot in my week due to the laughs, but it has also made me a better dater by providing sound, honest and realistic advice on figuring out what you want in a relationship as well as how to maintain your standards so you don’t end up settling for something you didn’t even want in the first place (looking at you last situationship 🤦‍♀️🙄). I didn’t know how much I needed this until I found it. I have recommended it to all my friends. Big thanks for all you do from Texas 🤠!

I’ve been listening for a while and just realized I hadn’t given 5 stars yet (shame on me)! I love this podcast so much I’m going back to 2022 episodes because I need Jared and Jordana in my life multiple times a week. The banter, the advice, the awkward sex stories.. it’s all chef’s kiss for me. They literally make me laugh out loud and they’re my secret best friends, no apologies for that.

The Feb 20th episode with Emma was so refreshing and insightful – glad Emma will be a recurring guest for LGBTQIA questions! 🙌🏽

Highlight of my Tuesday. Don’t replace either co-host!!

Jordana and Jared are the best duo and always pull me out of a funk. This podcast has been super insightful and entertaining.

Unfortunately I agree with the reviewers who think the show has gone downhill and the guest interviews are terrible. The Jay S. episode was particularly useless. The highlights are when Jared gives advice, e.g., the walking away from the poker table metaphor, but the show’s focus has moved so far from that in what seems to be an attempt to fix what wasn’t broken. I especially appreciated when Jared defended the emailer who was 38 when the other host said she was too old for that, so clearly out of touch with the dating scene today, especially with divorced men 40+. Lastly, the constant bringing the back office staff on to comment is annoying, especially when you can barely hear one of them. Hopefully actual improvements are made to restore the quality of the earlier content.

Since I know you read all the reviews… Whenever I see an episode is going to be long (at least an hour or more)I am super pumped and can’t wait. One vote for super long episodes!

I cannot find a podcast better than this one (seriously tho, I just have to replay the archives 😂) So consistent- they never miss an ep. Always fun & relatable content, so easy to listen to & I actually pay attention lol

I felt compelled to write a review to just say that I disagree with all the comments to replace Jared or Jordana. You people must be new here… keep doing the good work you guys. Thanks for keeping me laughing ❤️

Update: Jared talking about getting upgraded and hoping someone gets downgraded on delta is insane. I mean cmon Jordana you have to know how awful he is. This podcast is hard to listen to. I absolutely love this podcast. I’m happily engaged and still love listening both for fun and for advice. I am especially obsessed with Jordana and she has really helped me feel comfortable in my relationship and stop comparing to other people and their relationships. Love!

I look forward to this podcast every week but this episode was very off putting. Jared openly criticizing the woman who said she was the “nice Jewish girl” he might be looking for was completely uncalled for. She was just trying to shoot her shot, and honestly I thought she did a pretty good job. There was absolutely no need to publicly call her out for something I’m sure took some bravery. I feel Jared has been extremely jaded and negative lately, and it’s really taking a toll on the whole tone of the show. Usually I can turn a blind eye but today’s episode was particularly unbearable and it’s becoming harder and harder to listen. This podcast is supposed to shed some light-hearted but truthful light on dating—lately it’s been depressing and unnecessarily pessimistic.

Jordana is out of touch, and Jared feels jaded with dating. Found myself not being able to finish most recent episodes. Maybe even taking a break and have them focus on Jared’s new podcast? The dating theme & topics doesn’t feel like it’s working for this duo currently.

Jared simply is not a good interviewer, and if he doesn’t plan on trying to develop those skills, J&J should honestly stop having guests on the podcast. It is rare for the guest to be allowed to speak for more than 5 minutes total throughout the episode, and most of the guest episodes are kind of painful to get through. The recent Jay Shetty episode was particularly bad — not because of Jay, but because Jared would barely let him get a word in! Jared spent the entire episode cutting him off, talking over him, and trying to get Jay to validate his own feelings about when people try to “get him” i.e by putting him on the spot to tell a joke (which I get could be annoying, but he doesn’t have to complain about it every episode). Another thing that is really frustrating is that Jared makes kind of rude jokes about the guests’ careers and seemingly does no research about the projects they’re trying to promote, in a way that he would HATE being done to him. For example, when Jesse Metcalfe came on the show, Jared knew nothing about Jesse’s career or relationship history, and just kept bringing up a movie he did almost 20 years ago. Granted, that is probably what Jesse Metcalfe is best known for to this day, but obviously he came on the podcast to promote a new project. How hard is it to do 15 min of googling to be able to have a more interesting conversation with a guest? Knowing Jared’s personality from listening to the show for 5 years, he would be livid if someone did this to him.

Agree with the reviews to replace Jared. I like the structure of this podcast, but listening to Jared makes dating feel utterly hopeless. If he’s “the center of the bell curve”/ 10% away from any man, then I’d 100% rather be alone forever. Luckily I know from real world experience that there actually are a lot of great men out there. Please replace him with someone who is actually a decent human being and don’t make young impressionable listeners jaded. He also clearly hates women so may be happier elsewhere 😂

So sick of Jared’s bonus episodes. He will literally talk about his issues every single time on every single podcast available on every single platform but the one thing he won’t do is try therapy! You’re almost 40 babe, give therapy a try. Use your own promo code. Put him on the bench for a sec and do a couple of eps with Jorge pls.

All the feathers! Found you guys in 2022 and recently decided to listen my way all the way back into previous episodes! Must say I wasn’t disappointed! I disagree with those who wrote that we need more “Jorge guys”: I’m sure he’s a great person, but he literally said he enjoys being married, and I quote, because he likes to come home to someone. Jared is doing the true hard work of being much more ambitious than that, while being respectful of the person he dates. Also, I don’t find you guys racist at all, and I’m an immigrant, I’m not even American. Keep up the good work you both ❤️

I’ve been listening for a couple years now. I’ve since gotten into a relationship but I still love listening to hear their funny commentary and get a sliver of relationship/ life advice per episode. I saw Jared live once and he was great! Jordana also seems super cool and is somewhat of a role model for me. I think their banter is great and very entertaining. 5 stars from me 🥰

Feather feather! Thank you J&J for keeping me entertained! I travel a lot for work and the time in the car goes so quick when I’m listening to you guys and cracking up with you! The banter between you two is unreal and I can’t get enough. I can’t recommend this pod enough! 2024 U Up…IN!

I am cancelling my paid subscription. Jared isn’t funny anymore. Jared’s misogyny is deeply hurtful. Jared and Jordana have a hard time drawing a line when it comes to controversial subjects and tend to make excuses for violence, racism, guns, etc. I’ve subscribed and listened for years. This podcast used to be enjoyable. It used to make me laugh. I don’t want to spend my money on this anymore. The things that Jared says indicate that he has a deeply ingrained distrust and contempt for women. After all these years talking about self improvement and seemingly getting nowhere, why won’t he just try therapy? Jordana still has a grip and gives great advice, and I’d listen to her with another co-host. Why not try a bachelor contestant? Maybe someone that doesn’t talk over her constantly? Sami, Aleen, Jordana, please consider this request. I see in the reviews that I am not alone. Your female audience deserves better than this. Why does betches give a platform to a man who consistently and openly is misogynistic?
