  • 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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Should I Break Up Before or After the Holidays?
Q: Should I wait until after New Year's to break up or just go through the holidays together and then end it?
It's kinder to break up before the holidays so they can process it surrounded by family and friends, instead of after when they have to face loneliness.
How to Answer ‘Why Are You Still Single?’
Q: How do I respond yet deflect?
Try responding with something like, 'I'm having fun just waiting for the right fit. Let me know if you have someone for me.'
Did Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Win Halloween?
Q: If I'm dressing up with my boyfriend, should I still be aiming for a hot girl costume?
I think when you have a boyfriend, we love different.
How To Date Someone Outside Your Faith
Q: How do I manage my parents' expectations about dating someone who isn't the same religion while still pursuing modern dating on my own terms?
It's important to communicate with your parents to understand their concerns and to simplify your own feelings about dating. Their opinions might not be as important as your own happiness.
When Is the Right Time to Share Your Number?
Q: If a guy doesn't ask for your number after a date, should you be worried about it?
It could mean he didn't think of it or that he wants to keep things casual. You might need to communicate your boundaries more openly.
