Chris vs. Christ made me laugh out loud at the gym
Longtime listener and overall fan of their dating and relationship discussions but lately some of their personal takes haven’t sat right with me:
- Saying Shane G’s monologue wasn’t that offensive, just not funny enough
- Jordana’s uninformed take on AI and apparent lack of understanding of its long-term societal impact (please Google “implications of AGI”)
- Dr. Naomi’s AirPods story (Oversharing)
Despite being a self-proclaimed moderate podcast, their perspectives are starting to feel increa... more
I used to enjoy the show, but midway through the most recent episode about Shane Gillis's SNL stint, I stopped listening and unfollowed. The fact that this episode is now behind a paywall only makes the decision easier.
What has become increasingly frustrating about this podcast is how committed J and J seem to be to staying middle-of-the-road, even when a conversation calls for a little more thought, nuance, or willingness to engage with something uncomfortable. They seem so focused on being un... more
Is anybody else annoyed by the PERSISTENT constant AFFECTED use of the words “wonderful” and “lovely” by these 2? These are not words Jewish American millennials use so they’re making a deliberate choice to speak in a way that maybe they think makes them sound more cultured or intelligent or BRITISH?????
Also, how exactly is Jordana type b? She’s the most type A person I’ve ever heard
It’s time to retire this show it’s like Seinfeld you gotta know when enough is enough
I love the show and have listened for a long time. But I thought Jordana was smarter than she portrayed when they discussed AI on a recent show. Yikes. She’s clueless about the world her daughters will have to live through because of the tech lords, lack of regulation, climate change, etc. Do more research.

A candid, humor-forward dating and relationships show where two hosts riff through listener emails, personal anecdotes, and pop culture to dissect modern romance, dating apps, and commitment. Episodes often mix blunt relationship coaching with sharp banter, exploring topics like communication misfires, boundaries, exclusivity, and the social dynamics of couples, friends, and family. A standout trait is the duo's chemistry and willingness to tackle provocative scenarios with practical takeaways, guest-driven conversations, and sponsor breaks that weave into the flow. This combination likely appeals to calm skeptics and die-hard romantics alike, offering actionable advice wrapped in entertainment and self-deprecating humor.
