Soooo funny!

I wish I had this to listen to when back when I was in college 😂 (2011-2015). I am happily engaged now 🤙🏼 but still love this podcast Jordana is just so cool and Jared is absolutely hilarious.

Why pay $8/month for twitter verification when you can spend a mere $3 for “U Up with Benefits,” the best deal on the internet? Jared and Jordana are funny, insightful, and vulnerable. Their different perspectives lead to useful suggestions and ideas, but their banter and chemistry is what makes me look forward to every new episode. The podcast has helped me through tough times in my own relationships as well as provided hours upon hours of entertainment (…seriously, there are a lot of episodes now). I couldn’t recommend this any more highly.

change of heart

I’ve always kinda liked this pod but lately I really love it. I feel sometimes we are deviating a little more from dating stuff which is fine by me as I’m a newly wed but this kid helps us understand how to love ourselves more and each other and really be open to keeping it real! Jared can make any pod enjoyable and love the J&J camaraderie

Favorite podcast!

This is my absolute favorite podcast! I’ve been listening since the start of the pandemic and never miss an episode release! You guys have great chemistry together, discuss relatable dating/ relationship issues, give spot on advice and best of all, provide tons of laughs along the way! I love the way listening to the pod makes me feel like I’m chatting with friends. As one viewer mentioned, Jordana does seem to share more personal experiences and I wish we could hear a bit more from Jared and his dating experiences since he’s currently single and on the apps! Part of the appeal of the pod is getting to know you both….you guys are really the stars of the show! :) Love you guys! Keep solving dating!

I love you guys!!

This has been one of my two favorite shows for the past 2-3 years (GGE is the other). I listen to every episode. It’s the highlight of my mornings. I even flew to New York last December for the show just for the night to fly back to Florida the next morning. Buttttt I just wanted to say Jordana- you’re the best. And the lisp era was my favorite. I kept thinking- wow, she’s so confident and so funny. I could only imagine how embarrassed she felt but still went out there and continued to record and own it. Anyway, I’m about to be in a similar situation (lisp from major dental procedure) and Jordana is my inspiration to own it and keep laughing. Xxxoooooo

From a “with benefits” subscriber

I love you guys, you’re both so funny and entertaining together! I’m probably not your typical listener- 67 year old married woman (who’s young at heart) and I don’t care about dating for myself but I love knowing what younger people are going through and I love to laugh. You guys are great. I also love Oversharing!

Guest episodes feel like an ad

Love the podcast, five stars, but the guest episodes always seem like the guest has paid to be on and feel very sales-y. Which is fine but disclose it! The recent podcast about money lacked the universal relatability that I love this show for. It felt like the advice was strictly for people already well off with a touch of manifestation magic sprinkled in. 30% of income on “fun”spending…in this economy?! Haha. Love y’all anyway.

We need more from jared!

I absolutely love, love, love this pod! I especially enjoy the benefits eps because they dig deeper into heavier topics. I would like to learn a little more about Jared. It seems like Jordana is bearing her soul in these eps (so appreciative) and Jared is remaining surface-level. Does he feel societal or familial pressure about finding a partner? Why did his last relationships end? Wrong person or bad timing? Do you have a new perspective on dating with learnings from pod or doing the same strategy? So much to uncover! Obsessed with the J&J duo! For those not enjoying the subscriber eps-go away.

I know Jordana will read this

Recently got into the pod after following the memes on Instagram and I haven't turned it off in months. J&J are great, insightful and hilarious. Some people may think they're not the demographic for this topic, but THEY ARE. I'm happily married and honestly, I think all the advice still pertains to me and really to everyone as communicators with so many types of relationships including family/friend/coworkers. The humor (for the most part) is really smart and thoughtful and the listeners really come through with interesting and pertinent questions which is why this show is so modern and relatable. The hosts play a huge part in that as well. Love the pod & plan to subscribe once I'm done binging all the previous episodes. ♥️

The best dating podcast

I’ve been a listener since the beginning and really appreciate the honest, and mostly compassionate takes. I really love jordana’s rational take on things and how she brings in books and experts as references and shares her own personal experiences. I’d love to see them talk more about relationships that aren’t stereotypical cis het M/F, and also feel like they both, but Jared especially, generalize about gender a TON and it can be a bit outdated seeming. Also, Jared seems like he just doesn’t want to date / be in a relationship at this point which is fine but pretty odd to have as the outlook for the host of this pod. Also, when y’all bring on experts he tends to talk over them a lot which can be tough when you really want to hear fresh wisdom that a guest is bringing on. Overall love the pod though and really appreciate when they talk about how to be in healthier relationships, handling dynamics with partners and people you’re dating, etc.

Pretty Good!

I do really like this show and am a paid subscriber. My only issue is that Jared talks over Jordana, especially in the Friends with Benefits episodes. Something to keep an eye on!

Cut to the chase; intro/self promoting kill it

I really enjoy whenever it gets to the heart of the podcast. But I feel like the build up of the pointless banter, self promoting of shows for 10 minutes, etc, goes on way too long. If they cut that piece and kept the heart of the content and got there quicker, this could really be one of the better podcasts around dating and funny single/dating life.

Love but enough with the luxury vacation recap

I love you guys but every episode there is a long recap of a recent luxury vacation. Debating the four seasons versus Ritz Carlton made me cringe

Love it but less focus on YouTube

I don’t like all the promotions for watching the recording on YouTube. I think it is also changing the way they are acting for the podcast in a way that isn’t positive. I don’t want to watch on YouTube and I don’t think this is a good direction for the podcast to go. If they make it on YouTube just make sure that you know your main audience are the people listening as a podcast not watching on YouTube so don’t pay so much attention to talking about your facial expressions or being so over the top because we really just want to listen to the way it has always been.

Best Podcast Around

New listener, but have become QUICKLY obsessed with this podcast. Jordana and Jared’s advice has truly impacted the way I think of dating and relationships. It’s such a feel-good listen and truly brings so much joy to my day. My alone time doesn’t feel so lonely since I started listening, it’s truly always a good time and I find myself laughing and enjoying my time so much more since finding it. 10/10 recommend. PS- subscribe to U Up with Benefits, you won’t regret it!!

U up

I LOVE this podcast please don’t ever stop making it. You guys do a great job of bringing up relatable topics and being vulnerable with your audience. Jordana I really appreciate you being so raw with all your recent life experiences so many of us can relate, you are amazing !! Jared you are HILARIOUS and I appreciate how honest you are even if it’s an “unpopular opinion” that’s what makes the show so much better than all the rest.

Ugh Jared

Jared is too negative to be the host of a dating show. We get it, dating is hard and frustrating especially at an older age. It is his right to express his feelings as a host, but it is not the content I came for. Also, do people actually think he is funny? He makes me laugh here and there on the podcast, but his standup is awful (just a bunch of yelling and facial expressions). He’s already sent me a rude DM, so clearly he doesn’t care what people think of him (or maybe he cares too much) Jordana - you are so good at your job! I love listening to your insights and realness.

The Greatest Pod of All

J & J have the best dating podcast out there, period. I could honestly listen to Jared read the encyclopedia and still find it interesting. Love their games, their different takes (man vs woman, single vs married). Their Sunday specials are great bite sized bits and their longer episodes are treats. I love U Up and honestly all betches + Jared content!

Love the show

I just started listening to this show a few months ago and I find it really insightful and entertaining/funny. I’ve been binge listening the entire year. I actually do enjoy hearing Jordana and Jared talk about their lives. I really like hearing Jared’s dating experiences. I’m in my mid 30s too and I experience a lot of the same changes in motivation levels over time. I do find the promotional talk about Jared’s touring to be excessively long. You need to do it, but maybe keep it under 5 minutes. Your fans who want to go and are nearby will look you up. For the audience who isn’t anywhere near where he’s going, we don’t care. Point people to your website and be done with it. I do still like to hear about his shows after their done if there’s a good story. I can’t wait to hear about his family when he goes to Detroit. Otherwise, I love the show and appreciate your mature points of view on dating!

I love this podcast. I find almost all the topics extremely relatable, I love how Jared and Jordana share their personal experiences, and I often find myself cracking up during the episode.
