  • Jared is delusional

    Anytime he “imagines” how a relationship might end for him, he imagines him breaking the woman’s heart and her never getting over it. Wake up, Jared, you’re not god’s gift. Take a sec and imagine you’re the one getting dumped.

  • Honest + Relatable

    I appreciate the hosts’ honesty about their personal lives—especially Jordana’s openness around fertility and the death of her father. Her reflections on his final year and the struggles that preceded 2025 deeply resonated with me. While painful, I found comfort in hearing her articulate an experience that’s so hard to name: loving someone and continuing to show up even when they won’t help themselves.

    Jordana, I know you read these reviews—thank you for sharing. Wishing you, Mike, and your bab... more

  • Jared needs some maturing

    ** also without fail he always asks Jordana how she is and before she can answer he just rants about himself as if he doesn’t do that enough at all other times. Such a self absorbed person. yikes.

    1. The singing. It’s too much and takes away from the stories

    2. When he tries to be philosophical…yikes. Especially on a topic that isn’t that deep, he ends up just rambling and doesn’t make any sense.

    3. His obsession with how women talk about breakups and tik tok is just strange for grown man
