Been enjoying this pod!

I’ve enjoyed the different perspectives that Jordana and jared have brought to the episodes. It’s a good listen especially if you’re currently navigating the dating world :)

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.

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!

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.

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!

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 U Up but Jared needs therapy!

I love the show, have been listening for a long time and recently subscribed while training for a run (NOT a marathon). I truly love Jared but echoing the reviews that he’s a broken record at this point. Jordana is so patient, but we’ve heard the same thing now so many times, it’s getting old. If he wants a relationship, he should explore his fear of commitment with a professional. It also irks me how he’s so scared of “being the bad guy” he infantilizes women who may be perfectly capable holding their own standard. Going back to the free version for now…

Good but…

… if I have to hear that ad that goes “how weird does it feel to be called someone’s fiance…” I am going to self immolate. I don’t even care that it’s an ad for engaged people it’s just the most obnoxious sounding ad I’ve ever heard

Jared … C’mon Buddy

I am a subscriber and will continue to be one because I love the “no ads” option, but my GOD Jared … you’re a broken record at this point and it’s getting unbearable to listen to. Either settle down or don’t, we don’t care anymore. But let’s stop with these subscriber therapy episodes where he talks about the same things over and over and over again. Bless Jordana because you can tell she’s trying to be a good friend and listener, but even she seems to be running out of ideas. I do love Jared’s advice on the regular episodes, but let’s maybe give it a rest with his personal life for a while. It’s obvious he needs to work on himself with a professional.

Favorite podcast

Love both Jared and Jordanas vulnerability and humor! It’s so easy to feel connected and root for you both. Loved to hear Jordana open up her fertility struggle on benefits, although I hate that she’s going through it. So many people can relate, including me.

Favorite new podcast in my weekly rotation!

Being out of the dating world, I love the entertainment value this pod brings. I’ve learned all the things I did wrong in my single days but also validated in all the craziness of it. Jared says the things that most guys think but don’t say out loud, and Jordana is so level-headed and refreshing, I’m certain we would be friends in real life.

Love the break from world and news. Old review: lover of long intros. Keep them in! Jordana continues to get funnier.

Very funny + great advice

Jared and Jordana are so hilarious! They really know how to have fun with each other and their fans while giving actionable, solid advice. They’re vulnerable, empathetic, and honest with their listeners. I can’t wait for each new episode to air!

LOVE THIS SHOW

My favorite podcast for so many reasons. One you get genuinely good advice (sometimes) and thoughtful/interesting debate on relationship/dating philosophies. Even if you don’t agree with their take, it helps you to get your opinion together on topics you may have never thought about. Two, I just really like Jordana and Jared. They’re both hilarious, and are genuinely cool people. They also aren’t afraid to call each other out, and are actually REAL instead of acting like these all knowing relationship and life experts. GIVE THIS A LISTEN

My comfort podcast!

I am soooo grateful I found this podcast 3.5 years ago when my 5 year relationship ended. It got me through learning how to date as an adult on the apps for the first time and it’s gotten me through the first 2.5 years of my new relationship! My now partner is a fire fighter and I work from home so I am alone A LOT. Jared and Jordana are like my co-workers or friends, I sometimes even put on old episodes when I’m caught up — I find this podcast so comforting because it’s been with me through so many phases of life / relationships at this point! I saw some reviews about Jared seeming like he doesn’t like women and I don’t really get that feeling at all. Seemed like a bunch of the reviews were written by the same person lol. Jared is super honest about how he feels and voices things in such a vulnerable way and I can relate (maybe not to the things he’s saying as I’m a woman, but I can relate to having hesitancy or indecisiveness towards certain areas of intimacy and relationships and a lot of times I feel like hiding these things to just say the right thing, and it’s refreshing to see someone actually saying how they feel).
