I’ve been a huge fan of the pod for years now and a benefits subscriber! I really appreciate Jared’s raw and honest feelings and stories about his dating life. As a single woman in my 30s who’s been on the dating scene for a while, I can 100% relate and it makes me feel less alone with these feelings/frustrations. The reason why we all love you so much is that you’re so real with relatable humor. Please never stop sharing your personal life on the pod! Also, your intros are always entertaining not too long! Keep up the great work, J&J!

Particularly Loved

The Adam Pally guest episode! Hot take on having general human decency standards and so refreshing to hear compared to the condoning of mediocrity and thinking of people as less than human beings! Very into the strong stance :) Been a listener for years. J&J wisdom remains tried and true bringing us back to choosing what’s best for ourselves and having discernment. Thanks guys!

Love J&J!!’

I love this podcast- been listening since the beginning and they have changed my entire perspective on relationships both romantic and otherwise. I’ve recommended the podcast to many friends, and it’s my go to every week. I find myself loling often! However….violet benson on the recent episode was insufferable. It’s the first episode I had to delete because I couldn’t bear to listen to her… when she told Jared to “grow up” I wanted to jump through my phone and defend him/yell right back at her (Jared I appreciate that you were very professional and polite)…. Anyway. Keep up the great work. You guys don’t need stupid guests and are enough in your own💚💚💚

I love the new SOS episodes! Also love other Betches podcast hosts as guests

Can you have KayYorkCity on as a guest? She’d be awesome! I love episodes where other Betches podcast hosts join like Dr. Naomi (I’d love it if she came back again too). Also love the new SOS episodes, I like hearing from the audience. Jared and Jordana make me laugh every single episode! They both have helped me feel more confident in my dating life. They also remind me to make sure I have fun while dating (which I can sometimes forget lol). I love how they catch up with each other at the start of the episode, it makes me feel like I get to know them as people. Keep up the good work!!! I still die laughing thinking about the awkward story with the poo in the cat litter box - literally the funniest thing I have ever heard 💀💀

Thank you

Long time listener of the show and can’t thank you guys enough for all the episodes. I listen to them each week and feel like I’m catching up with friends at this point. I’ve seen some negative reviews for Jared and I couldn’t disagree more. He’s being authentic! Ps please never have violent again she was horrible

5 star show with a 1 star guest

I have to echo the other reviews on this one begging you not to invite violet again. You guys usually have such great guests and this is such a downgrade. She is the epitome of what I think Jared refers to as millennial mad libs (if I remember correctly?) lol but in all seriousness, she sounds like if you put all the frequently used buzz words/phrases on Twitter into a machine and made it come up with full sentences. She has never had an original thought in her life and she seems to have gained fame because **checks notes** she started stealing peoples memes and posting them as her own before anyone else had the idea to do that? Anyway I know I’m just one little reviewer lol but I’m not docking you guys any stars because y’all are fantastic otherwise. I’m a benefits subscriber too and don’t have any intention of unsubscribing but please don’t bring her on again. This is the first episode ever that you guys have put out that I won’t be listening to in its entirety.

Usually amazing- no more Violet

Please never again Violet Benson. I couldn’t bring myself to finish that episode. The discussion was totally illogical and it seemed like she was making up stories because her explanation of events didn’t follow. This is my favorite pod cast- but please please please- you are better than this. Never again

Please no more violet benson

Rating 5 stars because I’m not trying to bring down the score, but please don’t have Violet on again. She’s the worst. I could barely get through the episode.

NO MORE VIOLET

I have listened to every episode of U up and the only ones I can’t get through are the ones with violet as a guest. She’s insufferable and clearly doesn’t flow well with J&J. I had to stop 10 minutes in. I love the long intros, I love the structure of the show. Don’t bring on guests and then take away what we love (emails, games, J&J banter)

fave pod, fave hosts

I love J&J! They’re great co-hosts together. Jared goes a lil too deep/far into some of his rants sometimes, but overall love their dynamic and I lol just about every week with this pod. Wish they came out with more episodes than they already do!! The only episode I couldn’t make it through so far is the most recent with Violet Benson. She was awful. Gave no real, helpful insight on any of the topics. Never heard of her before this episode, but not interested in learning more. The woman is just annoying.

Love J&J

Not a fan of violet tho. If you 3 were my friends. Violet is the person I would go to, not for advice, but to hype me up to key my cheating partners car.

Violet Benson ruined the episode

This is the first time in the years that I’ve listened that it was cringy to listen to an episode, not because of J and J but because Violet Benson ruined the whole dynamic. She interrupted constantly, had her own agenda, and was extremely self-indulgent. Most of your guests are great - please don’t have her back on.

Love love love this show

I absolutely love UUp and have recommended it to a ton of people! I love listening to this show with my boyfriend and talking through how we would handle different issues, scenarios, etc. This book also had Logan Ury on as a guest - I read her book “How to not die alone” and then subsequently the book “Attached” by Dr Amir Levine; these books taught me so much and changed my life for the better (especially “Attached”), and I would not have found them without your podcast. Also Jordana - give yourself the credit you deserve! You say “like” 1000x less than you did during the first few episodes! You sound great!! Keep up the good work UUp team!

Awful Guest

I’ve loved the pod for a long time (the SOS episodes are fun and fresh) but I absolutely could not sit through the Violet Benson episode. It was so vapid and did nothing to support or empower women in dating. Please don’t continue in this direction. It was awful.

Unsubscribed after Violet podcast

I had a subscription. No more. Not going to pay to listen to incoherent interview guests one day early…you are both thoughtful, rational, interesting people. Guests should be as entertaining/insightful.

Benefits

Please no more Violet Benson episodes. They are painful. Jordana, I know Jared doesn’t read the reviews, but I hope you share the feedback with him. I don’t want to reinterate the comments posted about his views on dating tok, but between here and Reddit, it is very clear he is turning listeners away.

Pls no more violet benson

I love this show so much and have for years. I recommend it to friends/total strangers more than any other podcast. However I’ve really struggled getting through the violet benson episodes over the years. She is so argumentative (without having a good argument to ever back herself up) and I’m very impressed by how J&J handle that behavior. However it’s clear that they don’t mesh well with her and it just doesn’t make for an enjoyable listening experience. If there’s a petition to resign her as a guest, consider this as my signature.

Love

Just wanted to leave some love for Jared, he is why I started listening (love Jordana now too!) and I can’t imagine the podcast without their particular dynamic. I never miss an episode, benefits subscriber, love the long intros. 10/10!

No violet benson PLEASE

Dear god, I can’t escape this woman. She’s been infiltrating my fave podcasts for years lol. I feel my brain cells literally diminish as she speaks. She is so clearly devoid of any insight or wisdom and always just seems super bratty. Love you guys, please don’t bring her on again

Jared a little misogynistic

Sent to a few friends in different circles and all came back with the same response-Jared kinda hates women and is sorta misogynistic.

What’s happening with Jared’s tone lately?

Please know that I’m a devoted subscriber and long time listener. Recommend this podcast to everyone I know. Lately it’s been hard to enjoy the contents, “The Problem With DatingTok” episode is truly rough, I turned off many times through and couldn’t get past it. I love Jared, listen to his other podcast, and have been to his shows. As a female, I often actually relate more to Jared’s thinking than Jordanna and female listeners emailing in. However recently I noticed that his long winded and rants have worsen, constantly cut others off (the Jay Shetty episode, yikes), analogies are so off and irrelevant, and even the way he asks questions sounds like he just wants to talk and not listen. I still love and support the pod! You guys truly changed my life! Hope you guys acknowledge recent feedback and get back on your A game soon. 🫶🏼

Ads in Benefits

Why are there ads in Benefits now? Defeats the purpose of paying for no ads.

Less complaining, more advice

Editing my initial review, I really appreciate the shift to less ads! But can Jared delete TikTok or at least stop complaining about girls on it? It’s coming off pretty ugly and it’s mostly irrelevant, most guys I date (and myself) just don’t care about social media anymore.
