Summary of all Jared episodes from the last two years
Jared does want to be in a relationship, but his fear of being conflict, upsetting someone, and being the ‘bad guy’ is stronger. He wants to feel ‘a little delusional’ about someone because deep down he thinks that gives him the certainty that he won’t change his mind (which would make him the bad guy). The irony is that until he really addresses this fear and learns to tolerate other people thinking badly of him, he will be so blocked by hyper-vigilance around ‘the next step’ that it will be nearly impossible for him to feel a sense of delusion with anyone.

Love the show but…
Love this show! I have listened to every episode and even subscribed for a bit. However, how many more episodes can y’all can monetize off of Jared‘s “dating fears” when it seems he’s just not into women? It’s no longer fun to listen to this show when one of the hosts clearly does not want to be in a relationship, then claims “his male opinion is within 10% of every man.” The fact that he goes on a million dates yet doesn’t like one of them, he seems to have deeper issues outside of dating, perhaps his sexuality.

Favorite dating/comedy podcast
I love this show and look forward to it every week! I have ever seen Jared live several times. Highly recommend

Jared’s Facebook hacked ep
The episode about Jared’s Facebook getting hacked was EPIC!!! 😍

Benefits Facebook Story
Jared, please turn the Facebook hacking story into a bit. That’s the hardest I’ve laughed in a while.

Fact check guys!!
Love the pod but maybe fact check before you post an episode? Rachel did not end things with matt james lol she did a 2 hour interview on call her daddy yesterday explaining him breaking up with her

Please stop the teaser at the start of the episode
There’s a new start to the show, maybe because of a new producer, where, before the credits music, there’s a short teaser of a funny moment in the episode. I hate it! It’s so disruptive and annoying, and throws off the first few minutes. I always think to myself “did I accidentally start the podcast ten minutes late?” Also, is Emily Freid Jared’s family member? If she is, I think Jared should address it.

Love it!
One of my favorite shows! Jordana and Jared have a great dynamic. Their ease and conversations have gotten better and better over the years. Their mutual care and respect for each other is the heart of the show. I laugh in every episode and appreciate their honesty and empathy when answering questions.

Jordan’s Dog Update
I am unwell with how funny the benefits episode was with Jordana talking about the dog update. Incredible content, you really can’t make this stuff up. Thank you both for always giving the best in every episode but especially the benefits episodes.

Am I the red flag!?
Big fan of the podcast! Just listened to the avoidant discarding episode and my brain is exploding over the RF or DB: guy doesn’t have ice. I am a 39 YO woman and don’t have ice!!!! Homeowner, successful lawyer in a big city, good dog parent, newly separated - was it the lack of ice????!!! I just buy ice when I need it. Is this not okay???? But in all seriousness so much fun, hope everyone listens!

Best podcast ❤️
As a longtime listener, this podcast doesn’t get old for me. I love J&J and their chemistry on this pod. It feels like two real friends just catching up. Love you guys, keep it up!!

Love the show!
Love this show so much, great content and I love J&J. Just dropping a note that I didn’t really like the Mel episode - she came across to me as very condescending. Loved Logan Ury though (& also all other episodes!!) Keep it up J&J 💖

Since 2022 and counting!
All the feathers! Editing my review to say that I am now a happy subscriber: I subscribed to listen to the episode of Jared getting a coaching session with Logan and I absolutely loved it! She hit the nail on the head with each question and Jared was truly vulnerable. Jordana is always inspiring and direct. Keep up the good work you both ❤️

Love the show not Mel
Subscriber for several years, love the show! You guys do an awesome job balancing keeping things funny while addressing tough issues, kudos! I really tried to like the Mel episode but it’s pretty hard to take advice from someone who’d been married for 20 years and has zero experience dating since the 2000’s. She also contradicted herself a couple of times which didn’t land well. On the other hand Logan and Kelly were great! Thanks for all you do!!

Mixed emotions
This is hard to write because this podcast got me through a lot and helped me get back on the dating scene. I loved Jared’s advice of holding your own standards and jordana is always very empathetic and witty. However, after Jared ended his last relationship, for a while I was listening because it helped me feel better about where I was… always hungover, always regretting his night’s decisions, I felt less alone (not proud of this but true). But now, I just feel like the constant focus on his love life is unnecessary. There are enough people here saying how annoying it is to hear him whine while poor Jordana tries to be a therapist. I once dated a guy who admitted he used dates as therapy. Let’s remove this part of the show until he actually has some sort of revelation and something insightful to share instead of going in circles ever episode. Also- I loved how point blank Mel Robbins was and agreed with her on a lot of things and loved that she could actually interrupt Jared, no one else can figure out how.

Love this show but Mel Robbins episode was terrible
I had to stop halfway through bc that lady is truly insufferable and condescending—“let them” walk all over you? I’m good. Feels like she should stick to parenting advice not dating advice.

Let Them, Jared
I could listen to Mel Robbins chew Jared up all day long. His hangups around dating have become increasingly frustrating to listen to. Logan Ury is great too, but she’s so nice. It’s like bad cop, good cop. Not sure which Jared needs. Maybe both. Jordana strikes that middle ground. People only change when they want to. I hope he gets it together in 2025. Might be time for therapy. And Jared’s mom… oy vey. Whoever he ends up will play second fiddle to that woman unless he develops a backbone.

Just updated my review
Love you guys. Mel Robbins was insufferable tho.

Logan Ury ep
Therapist here listening- LOVED Logan Ury and her dating coaching ep for Jared. He was so vulnerable and introspective. Excited for his 2025!

Love J&J
Love J&J - been listening since the beginning and am a subscriber! I recommend Jared’s comedy to everyone! Can’t wait for the next special, let’s go Netflix! Love when a new episode drops!!

Why I Loved U Up?—And Why I’m Moving On
I’ve been a loyal U Up. Listening on Spotify since 2018 and a subscriber since the benefits began, but I just canceled my subscription. Want to know why? Jared. His approach to dating has become frustrating. He says he doesn’t play games, but his behavior tells a different story. Claiming you’re “not looking for a relationship” , as he said he would from the January 1st episode, while hoping to accidentally stumble into the right one is a game. Real relationships take effort, accountability and some measured delusion 😋, qualities Jared seems unable to embrace. Until Jared works on his fear of “waste someone’s time” and his reluctance to do the personal work, his advice will remain out of touch and unhelpful. It’s disappointing to see his perspective become so impractical, which is why I’m moving on. Thanks for the years of great advice. It’s radical changed my approach to dating and I can now say I am truly happy. Best of luck out there to Jared, I really do hope he gets out of his own way to find what he’s looking for. And thanks Jordana for always saying what we are all thinking or feeling.

I’ve been listening to this podcast since the beginning and was a JTrain listener before that. Love the pod - I look forward to it every week. I liked when Jorge was around to provide his married take on things but don’t think anything else needs to change!

From One of the Olds
Jared’s next special must be called - If you feel good in the pants, you’ll feel good in the dance. The intro to the January 1st episode is probably Jared and Jordana’s best work (but maybe because I’m still in a little bit of shock over Jared’s ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas poem). Honestly, if you’re not listening to this podcast, what are you even doing with your life?

Defending the Pet Advice
People attacking the advice to potentially re-home a cat instead of kicking out a human girlfriend is wild. And saying that J&J should not give advice about it simply because you do not agree is also closed-minded. The emailer didn't ask you. They asked successful, entertaining podcast hosts. And I was entertained.

Your friend Jeffrey Epstein?
We are all Jordana after Jared’s Christmas (erotica) poem. ☠️😂

Endless laughs !!
I’m giggling listening to the Friday the 13th episode- I love all that you guys do!! Funny fact about 13 a lot of hospitals won’t have an OR 13 either 😂

Not just a dating podcast!
The times I’ve listened to an episode and wondered if J&J have somehow stolen my own thoughts is extremely high. I love the real life perspectives, curiosity and empathy of the hosts, and pure gold comedy of both! The latest episodes intro “How do I date when I’m home for the holidays?” really resonated with me (btw I love the long intros- they’re my favorite part of the episode!). Dating in my 30’s and now 40’s can feel isolating and Jared and Jordana really validated my experiences. Good for all ages, all genders, and even good for those people who don’t know who you are Jared!

It’s lonely at the top
Don’t let the haters get you down. At least you’re putting yourself out there. You are great!!

5 stars but in need of some change!
I love this show so much. It always makes me laugh, provides solid advice, and has got me through some really dark times. Lately, however, it has become a bit repetitive with Jared’s dating concerns and inability to commit. At first I really felt for him but at this point it has become triggering in some ways. He sounds like all the men I’ve dated who bailed after date 5 seemingly out of nowhere. I no longer get what I came for with the podcast and may take a break. I hope Jared is able to find what he needs in a partner!

Love the show but…
Unsubscribing from Benefits until Jared goes to therapy…I’m so serious!
