  • Discontinued the funniest segment

    I used to enjoy the laughs I had listening to the funny sex segment. Too bad. It’s not as good now.

  • Is it the Jared show?

    Listener since the first episode but for the last year it’s the Jared show and I’m done with it. All he does is talk about himself and his shows and his book and his new gf and his family… unsubscribed

  • Love the pod!

    Feather feather. Love the emails, love the different opinions. Have loved this pod since 2020 and it still hits for me. People complaining in the reviews are hilarious, like just don’t listen. Literally no one is making you listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Do You Start Dating Again After Divorce?
Q: Dear J&J, Huge fan and subscriber, also obsessed with Jared's food videos on TikTok. My question is for Jordana's mom. I'm a 34 year old single mom of two who just finalized my second divorce. How do I reenter the dating world with confidence?
Dr. Rosenberg advised starting with confidence in yourself, recognizing your ongoing needs, and communicating at a pace that fits your life as a mother. She emphasized not oversharing about past relationships or each child on a first date, and highlighted that dating can be a patient, value-driven process where you prioritize your own well-being and boundaries.
What Do Men Actually Want on Their Wedding Night?
Q: Hi, J&J. Subscriber here. We need a judgment about a trivial wedding-night situation involving a dress.
They propose two playful solutions: either undress in a sexy way with the wedding dress and later switch to a different “sex dress” or replace the dress with a second, more practical option to satisfy both fantasy and practicality; the hosts lean toward a creative compromise that preserves the dress while keeping the moment exciting.
The Situationship Trap Nobody Talks About
Q: What's your reaction to the beach-picnic date as a dating move?
It's an example of trying to impress, which can backfire if the other person doesn't want that level of production; the key is compatibility and clear communication about comfort levels.
The Situationship Trap Nobody Talks About
Q: When is 'exclusive' meaningful in real life versus just a signal to avoid others while still not being in a real relationship?
Exclusive often signals a plan to pause dating others, but it can exist without a formal commitment, depending on how both people define and enforce boundaries.
The Situationship Trap Nobody Talks About
Q: What's your take on the Love Island labeling and the definitions people use in real life?
Reality shows highlight the pressure to assign labels quickly, but in real life, labels are less important than clear communication and aligning on what each person wants from the relationship.
