  • Love the segments and Jordan and Jared’s energy as a duo

    I can’t get enough of the pod and love the icky or picky and other segments. The question and answer format is so engaging but some of the guests water down the energy. Still love it and it’s one of my pods that I’m always excited to se a new episode for!

  • Amazing and Fun

    I really enjoy the regular show, unfortunately I really can’t get through the episodes with guests. They seem to lose their humor when a guest is on. To be honest, what the guest brings to the show is not very compelling or funny. I’m still a 5 star review and a subscriber, but I skip the guest episodes now.

  • Oof

    I used to listen to this show religiously (3 years in a row and a subscriber) until it got unbearable to listen. I was dating and listening to their advice like gospel, I started doing work on myself and quickly realized Jared is toxic and incredibly avoidant and Jordana doesn’t challenge or push back on any of his excuses. Once I stopped listening I found a partner and tried the show again, but had to turn the episode off because their advice was frankly speaking, unhelpful garbage. I know bein... more

  • Meh

    I used to love love this podcast. Lately just not the same. With the use of “like like” or “literally” all the time. I’m also not a fan of the guests lately. Seems to be more of a talk-show about the hosts lives and not about actual dating content. Bring back guests like Maria Matchmaker, Logan Ury etc.

  • Whitney was AWOL

    Did Whitney have a manic episode on the show? That was bananas. She talked at the speed of sound bouncing from one point to 29 unrelated ones. Interrupted constantly. Y’all were like her human bumpers keeping her in her lane for an hour.
