  • Jared Stop Interrupting

    It is so rude and distracting. Listeners want to hear from the guests. The amount of times he has cut off Logan, Sami, Aleen in the last few episodes is distracting and annoying. It makes you sound obnoxious - not funny. Long time listener and benefits subscriber - please take this feedback!

  • Love the show…hated Logan as the guest

    Logan Ury was an awful guest. She was overly opinionated and talked with spit in her mouth. It was gross to listen to.

  • Favorite podcast to turn off my brain

    Funny and interesting commentary always! Sami was the only guest for feedback so far - she was constantly interrupting and not allowing Jared to finish his thoughts.

    Tess was fantastic please have her back!!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

My Partner Makes Me Feel Stupid… Now What? ft Emma Willmann
Q: How can someone address this issue without escalating conflict?
The guest suggests clearly expressing how the behavior feels, setting boundaries, and differentiating between a minor habit and a fundamental disrespect, while acknowledging the partner's insecurities and working toward healthier communication or ending the relationship if needed.
Is He Avoiding Sex On Purpose? ft Dr. Naomi
Q: What are people coming to you for in therapy right now?
People are seeking guidance on timeline stuff, adjusting to next life stages, and managing anxiety around change and relationships, with emphasis on mindset and coping rather than just external circumstances.
The Silent Relationship Killer you CAN Avoid ft Aleen Dreksler
Q: Aleen, how do you date your husband while all of that is going on?
The key is to create space for unscheduled quality time, occasionally surprise each other with real-date experiences, and avoid turning every moment into a business meeting; flexibility and shared values are essential.
Would You Date Someone With 2 Boyfriends? ft Bob The Drag Queen
Q: How could I be supportive of my boyfriend exploring the idea of drag while still feeling secure, desired and confident in my role as his partner?
You have an opportunity to be there for him in a way and grow together, because he's still attracted to women and still wants to be intimate with you.
Should You Break Up Over Bad Kissing?
Q: How do you cope with feeling invisible or written off before you even get the chance?
It's essential to address this with your friends and communicate how you feel to seek their support.
