Great show keep doing what you’re doing but - petition to call Emma the “queeraspondent” not just correspondent for queer experiences!

I love the pod!
I do feel like Jared can be a little woe is me/victim energy. Not everyone is out to get you!

Betches has gone down hill since sold.
The show used to be good. Once betches was sold to a larger media company i find myself fast forwarding through 25-30minutes of ads per episode. They also seem desperate to expand by bringing on guests that generally don’t fit the role of the podcast.

I like that Jordana has a lot of depth and range and gets Jared to laugh and answer tough questions. Jared is good at understanding and articulating both sidesof a story too.This podcast is a lifeline during the times when I have to deal with family stuff in my hometown. I partly feel Forever 25 like Jared, and am also a woman who wants certain things like Jordana. It’s cool getting to know these two awesome hosts and learn from their experiences.6 out of 5

Oh Annie Girl…
Favorite podcast!
I haven’t missed an episode. Also married with children and this is my favorite podcast! I hope they keep the long-winded intros. When I see an episode is 1.5 hours, I could not be happier!

Never miss an episode
I’m married with children and still never miss an episode. This is my go-to show to take a break, relax and get a laugh.

Funny, BUT…
This show has gone downhill. It has its moments and it mildly entertaining. Overall, though, Jared and Jordana have become cynical and judgmental.

Hilarious & thoughtful pod, love them like friends
I am obsessed with this pod. I listen every week! J&J never fail to make me laugh, & they make me think about things from a different perspective. I also realize I don’t have to agree with every single thing they say in order to love & appreciate the show. Both of their laughs are infectious & I appreciate how candid & down to earth they are. Definitely a fan through & through!

Jared is officially dreadful and out of touch
It has gotten very tough to listen through an episode at this point, 100% due to Jared being so far out of touch and pushing unpleasant.Used to absolutely adore this show. Now, Jared interrupts excessively, is negative, inserts his own perspective (which is no longer representative of a typical guy in their 20s-30s open and interested in dating), and it is harming most if not every episode. Mic hog (over Jordana and experts) and comes off as jaded and dismissive to (interesting and relevant) situational nuances.

Been listening for years, my favorite comfort pod!
I love this show, I’ve been listening through the years, single, dating, now married with kids. It’s my favorite podcast, I always laugh out loud. J & J have the best chemistry. Thank you for all the work you do, my husband and I love to listen!!

Unable to fast forward the adds
I am a subscriber- but every time I try and pass the adds the show skies down and makes itself unlistenable. Is this happening to anyone else?
YoMommaorisitDaddy
One of my favorite
Podcasts to listen to each week. Always makes me laugh and puts me in a better mood. Please do more petty or prudent and awkward encounter stories in the episodes!

Love the the show!
Update: don’t change anything and keep long intros!!! If it was up to me, I would want them longer. Going off track is where the magic happens 😍I have been listening to the show for few years and continue to love it! I think you have thoughtful discussion of difficult topics. I agree with the latest benefit episode- don’t listen to haters! It is not feedback- it is rambling of bored people who cannot have a meaningful discussion or handle different opinion. Listening to that only can hurt and crate zero benefit! Thank you for all you do!

Love the show and the tangents
I love the show and the subscriber episodes! Candice, please stop cutting off J and Js tangents - I love when they get a little off track!

Love Jordana
Jordana is funnier than 99% of comediansThe best part is hearing about their lives. They’re honest and they have great chemistry. Didn’t like the subscriber ep where they played Esther Perels card game. Jared’s barking doesn’t bother me.

The rapport between these two!
UPDATED: Please please Candice you are not the podcaster. J&J must be able to just flow— this is why people love it so much. No need to ‘keep them on track’ for example. J and J are soulmate collaborators. It is a complete joy to listen to them, two people doing their thing, 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.

Relevant/relatable topics in every episode
Please- Never stop with the intro tangents. They make my day! Jumping right in is overrated

New male cohost PLEASE
Jordana/CEO of the pod - The raging misogyny from your male cohost is enough already. Give him the break that he obviously needs and audition new new who respect women and relationships and aren’t addicted to negative criticism on TikTok. It’s no longer fun to listen to the anger of an overly emotional man who most of your listeners would ghost after he would start barking at a restaurant.

One bit of feedback
I love this show so much and have been listening since the beginning, and so much about it is soooo great. Which is why I’m giving 5 stars despite saying the following…if Jared does the “big dog gotta eat woof woof woof” stuff one more time I think I’m going to have to stop listening. Stop it!!!
GIRLL 29343
Change please.
I’m sorry but Jared has to go. I’m tired of hearing how he has a drinking problem but can’t find anyone to date. I used to love this show but the advice is kind of awful.The nick vial podcast is wayyyy more insightful and honest. Head over there guys

Great show but even with T Swift
I love the show and thoroughly enjoy listening on my longer commute days. It's great and covers interesting dating topics that are both entertaining and informative.My one complaint: There's so much mention of Taylor Swift. If you've been online at all in the last year or so, TS is everywhere. I used to be a fan but can't stand her anymore because of the fatigue I get from her existing fans dying to relate everything to her. I hate skipping through conversations, but I've had to skip massive blocks of recent episodes or turn them off completely because the show is now part of this narrative.If you're dying to mention TS, go make an entire pod surrounding just her and leave the ones that have substance as-is.Again, I thoroughly love the show (and Oversharing). Just want to hear more about dating and less about TS.P.S. Hi Jordana

Guest Episodes
I’m a subscriber who loves the podcast and recommend it to everyone I can. My only complaint is I find myself skipping past a lot of the “Guest” episodes. I will always give them a try, but tend to disappointed on Saturday mornings when I go to listen to the Sunday Special and it’s another guest episode. I love the podcast, but please keep it to J&J. Maybe make guest episodes bonus episodes. Thanks for all you do.

Love it
Subscriber and can’t get enough of the current and old episodes. Love the humor that’s added to every email and situation and the banter between Jared and Jordana. Constantly LOLing while listening on my walks. Love Jared’s stand up and appreciate his perspective. I’m 34F, single and like that the podcast caters to millenials who are still out here in these dating trenches. Thanks for all the laughs and insights!

Had to give 5 stars after skimming some of the reviews. People are wild with some of their criticisms. Keep it up!

Jay shetty must not be shared
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!

Love a Long Intro
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!

“I I I…”
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

Love the current vibe and love Candace
Been listening to the beginning and feel like Candace has been an amazing addition.

Love it! Too many ads
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.

Not dog people
Love the pod, but took a star off because Jordana and Jared hate on puppies. So that says a lot.
Not for you to know.
Never Misses
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.
Claire78854
Love!
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
Mhf9300
Highly recommend to anyone - dating or in a relationship!
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!

Once they get to the show it’s pretty good but....
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.
👏💕🙌
Come on Jared..
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.

10/10
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!

Come On Jared…
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.
uchuskies2017
Sloppy editing?
The editing has gotten a little sloppy where whole conversations are repeated or cut right in the middle
Jimicam
Voted Best Podcast Of All Time!
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

All things J&J
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.

Best comfort show. Good for everyone!
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!

Narrow-minded, xenophobic, uneducated hosts
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…

SOS Episodes
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.
