The episodes on movies and shows are boring. Please stop doing reviews on movies and shows. We want to hear listener emails.

Has she let Jared finish a single thought without butting in?

Obsessed with these two and their banter, that being said, it feels like every other episode you have to pay for

I have been listening for years and love Jared and Jordana and their banter. The past few weeks have had a lot of episodes with guests and it feels like they are having guests on the show just because, and not because they bring any good stories or value to the show. Please stick with just J&J unless the guest is worthwhile.

I'm a subscriber but have some comments that I think could make the show more appealing. Jared is a performer so he's used to commanding an audience but his "conversations" with Jordana usually become "The Jared show". He interrupts ALL the time and it's beyond annoying. I give Jordana credit Because she seems to be getting better at pushing back on his interruptions but she should step in more and disagree with him more. Another thing that I think would help the audience enjoy the podcast more is if Jared could tone down his voice. His voice comes off like he's trying to project to the back of the room while Jordana speaks like she's just having a conversation which is how it should be. These criticisms are meant to be constructive. I'm a fan, just want you to improve the experience for your audience.

Jared keeps me laughing and Jordana brings us all down to earth

Benefits subscriber, generally love the podcast and Betches! Jordana is great! But the recent editing and the word “like” is used every other word at this point, making it very difficult to listen to. I’ll stay a subscriber for now, but maybe a bit more prep work before episodes could help!

Love Jordana and Jared but who has been changing aspects of the show recently? Why are there super boring stock images as the cover photos now, instead of the photo of Jared and Jordana. And whoever is writing the descriptions of each episode is cringily not creative at all. And please stop with the guest episodes!!!!!

I’ve loved the show for years but I agree don’t bother with guests . Even if they are interesting it’s very skip worthy . You two are better on your own !

The guest episodes are seriously so cringey and boring they really need to stop they are so bad

Ep “can weight change…” long time listener and subscriber and over the years I’ve gotten used to Jared’s yelling but Omg this episode was unbearable. So chaotic and gave me anxiety 🥲🥲🥲 step away from the mic and use your inside voice. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I feel like im just listening to my friends gossip and give good advice but wow its embarrassing how much I laugh while completely alone in public listening to their personal stories at the beginning

The editing is soooooo bad lately. Ads in the subscriber episodes and the episodes not being posted early. Whoever the new editor is needs to goooooooooo

Update Jul 2025 - going on 36 and still love them — loved the recent episode about settling up - great guest! Update: I’m now about to turn 33 so I’m updating my review from almost 4 years ago… the new review: i still LOVE them!!! I have listened to every episode and I feel like they’re my friends. Is that sad? 😂 also, add my vote to the love of Maddie laughing in the background. It’s rare, and it’s only when Jared says something so unexpected and hilarious that it’s a natural reaction. I can’t believe some people are so uptight about it 🫠 Original review 2019- I love this podcast. I’ve been in a relationship for little over 6 years so I haven’t been on the dating scene in quite awhile, but as a 29 year old girl, I can’t get enough of living vicariously through the hilarious stories on here. 😂

J&J seem to think if it’s their experience, it’s the first time it’s been experienced. In talking about planning for a child — 80s parents in America were known for planning ahead, putting their unborn babies on waiting lists for nursery school, etc. Especially in places like where they both grew up. This is absolutely not the first generation of parents who planned. 80s parents were hippies turned yuppies putting all their attention to their children’s success whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing, it’s famous for having happened. You’re not the first to do all these things. Sometimes it’s annoying to listen to.

As a paying subscriber, it’s incredibly frustrating how many of the latest episodes have ads, bad editing and NOW not even posting the episodes early for subscribers - which is the main reason I subscribed. I also feel like there’s no new content in the benefits episodes. I have canceled my subscription.

But 1 star for the recent change in editing/producing - Betches can do better! Will give it time

Love the show, have been a listener and subscriber for years. But the latest episode still had the ads in and was inexplicably censored for swears? I know they’ve beeped out the “c” word on the Betches pod in the past, but since when are we doing that here, a sex and dating podcast? Seems counterintuitive.

The editing is a mess lately

U Up is in my weekly rotation and I love the content. But. Since when did Jared’s producer V join the team? Her laugh is like nails on a chalkboard in the far distance. That was a pain point in the JTrain podcast early in the year, can’t believe it’s made its way here. No more please!

Please betches, invest in your strongest podcast by hiring a legitimate producer. Maddie, Jorge, and Candice were all outstanding! Whoever is cackling obnoxiously in the background should be removed from the studio. The edits the past few months have been choppy and awful to listen to. Bring back the quality production, especially for those of us who are paying subscribers. —— Listened to Jared Freid for awhile before I found this pod. He and Jordana have great chemistry and their personalities balance well. Red flag or dealbreaker is my favorite!

I love U up? I have followed for years I am a subscriber, I love both Jordana and Jared just would like a little bit of chill on the dogs are people side of things taking a baby on an airplane and taking a dog on an airplane are 100% different. I totally agree with Jared. Jordana I’m sure Ronnie is amazing, but please dogs and children are not the same.

Update: the LAUGH and horrible editing?!?? Who’s the new editor? Update: Jared’s date with a listener. Are you serious Jordana? You literally picked that boring, female twin of Jared to be his date because she’s Ivy League. It’s like you don’t even know your friend Jared at All and it really makes me question if you should be giving out dating advices. How did you think she was gonna be a match for him, did you bother to look past your ego at all to select someone he’d actually care for? She’s not outgoing, doesn’t speak up, has nothing substantial to say, looking like a Jewish mother… literally everything he’s repeatedly said he’s not into. You can’t fault the listener for writing in, but the producers and especially Jordana should be embarrassed to call themselves dating solver if they can’t figure out obviously glaring incompatibilities right off the bat. The YouTube video was crazy painful to watch. This is only to confirm that women pick matches for THEMSELVES and what they think great for themselves, rather than for someone they’d set up for. Seriously, I’m done with your preaches about how to set up correctly over the years and you’ve picked the most boring, bland looking background curtains to be Jared’s date. There’s nothing to that girl’s email that screams Jared’s type either. He needs an Arizona state Sun devils girl, not an Ivy League grandma. Please remember you’re picking a date for your friend Jared, not yourself Jordana. I love y’all, but could never make it through a Violet Benson ep. She’s not funny or entertaining. No one wants to sit there and listen to her rant about her outfits and thus pathetic searches for validations - “ohh I look so terrible with all my outfits”. This literally goes against everything you guys stand for, how could you not see that? Update: looks like they still haven’t done background check in their guests. Dr. Emily Morse is not even a real doctor, and worse, she’s a loud snooze fest!

I love the show and am a proud subscriber. But why did I start getting ads again? It feels like they run out of stuff to talk about in the subscriber episodes but the cost is worth not having ads. But if I’m paying and getting ads I’ll just cancel. Why are subscribers now getting ads? Shouldn’t we be notified of a change in terms?

Loved this show for years, but unsubscribed due to choppy editing and random laughs. Where is Candice?

I have been a loyal subscriber and benefits listener since the very beginning. I used to look forward to new episodes but sadly now I am finding it almost impossible to get through an episode. I really enjoy Jordana (I love Oversharing) but I am so over Jared as a host for this show. He seems so out of touch and truly his own worst enemy when it comes to dating. My guy needs a therapist asap

We subscribe and we’re not supposed to get ads. If you’re going to put ads in anyway, we should get our money back!

lol haha 😂

Usually love this podcast but the recent editing has been really choppy and I feel like I miss parts of the conversation

May 28’s episode was hilarious. Thanks for the laughs 🧡🥕

Isn’t your dog less than 6 months old? Most puppies balls don’t descend at the same time or before that age anyway. He’s fine keep telling him about how big and beautiful his balls are! Maybe the vet felt triggered about his own nuts. He should write in to Oversharing and ask for an intention

Been listening to the betches podcasts forever and have had to unsubscribe from their shows and instagrams unfortunately. Disappointed in betches overall generalization that “republicans are bad”. It’s dangerous and gross. People are complicated and not all of any political party is bad, you have no idea what their priorities are. Immature, stupid, stupid and isolates a huge part of your community. Do better.

Disappointed the hosts have aligned themselves with the oppressor by not condemning the genocide. Where is your moral backbone? Wrong is wrong. To be “not political” is to be complicit.

Why is this man so obsessed with “women on TikTok”? Every other word out of his mouth is some slander about them.

My favorite podcast. They have great chemistry, funny, and insightful. I’ve listen to all the episodes more than once and often discuss dating with friends by saying “well Jared said…” haha

I have loved this PC for years. Always hits! Full of funny stories and good advice. A must listen you will become addicted

My fave pod. They’re so good together. Jared is an incredible storyteller and Jordana is super smart and funny. Will never remember what days this podcast is released but I’m just happy when it is

I would’ve given 0 stars and stopped watching but saw on Reddit recently that Jared came out at the comedy cellar. That being said, I can give grace to the previous episodes (over the previous, well, two years) where he was giving incel advice from someone who clearly couldn’t land a pretty girl. Suddenly, everything makes more sense. I’m so excited to see where these two take the pod and to hear Jared share about his journey!

Love this show, can’t say enough about how great the show is, and have shared with many friends/acquaintances! Writing a review to say, please keep ads off for subscribers 🫠🚩P.S. I love faux pas. —updated review: Jared made me have end my ritual and unsubscribe.

Not a new listener but new subscriber .. looove the pod and discovered it from Jared’s comedy from the bachelor. You both make me laugh and appreciate the banter! Jared you’re too hard on yourself!

There is no better feeling than realizing it’s Wednesday mid-eyeliner and knowing a new episode just dropped! This podcast is the highlight of my week, funny, relatable, and always puts me in the best mood. It’s like catching up with your smartest, funniest friends. Obsessed!

Seems like every episode Jared references “women who go on TikTok” just to tell a story to ruin and damage a man unfairly. I knew what he meant the first time and found it funny, but by the 100th reference to evil TikTok women, I have to wonder where his TikTok truama comes from. The bit is old.

I have been a U Up listener since the beginning and a subscriber for a couple years. First off - Jared doesn’t know me so this opinion is probably irrelevant to him. I also acknowledge that in someways I feel like I know him bc I’ve been a listener for so long. But in reality what I hear is such a small window into his day to day life. With that being said… I appreciate that Jared lets the listeners into his intimate thoughts but it is so clear he is in a moment of his life where he only has “all or nothing” thinking. It seems that he cannot be anything but the victim in a situation. Whether it’s in dating, his professional life or even with his family (dynamic w/ his parents specifically.) As a born people pleaser I understand how difficult it is to shed that behavioral pattern. But it can happen. The hard work of therapy needs to be the first step in shedding that old pattern. It feels like Jared will literally do anything (even move to a different state) than just go to therapy?! One of the most annoying things a people pleaser does that I see Jared do often is choose the easy route of just “being nice” in order to avoid uncomfortable feelings. But choosing to stay in your comfort place bc you don’t have the ability to say how you feel isn’t actually nice, it’s just selfish. I feel that Jared’s takes on men are more out of touch and a reflection of where HE is at than being “10% away from the average man.” I think he’s at a stuck place (professionally, dating, etc.) bc he refuses to evolve as a person. I feel like he’s just looking at the hill of self evolution but too afraid/lacks the motivation to go up. So instead he’s constantly going in circles talking about how tiring the hike up the hill will be. Which as a listener, hearing that cyclical thinking over time is just exhausting and annoying bc there is a solution?! I wish he would understand that choosing to stay in this pattern is a CHOICE. Not an easy choice, but a choice. I still plan on being a subscriber but if things stay the same and I hear the same time of victim mentality after another 6 months or so, ill probably unsubscribe due to it no longer aligning where I am at as a person. I wish he would understand that finding a good therapist and putting in the work on yourself will only bring you to the new places you so desperately wish to be at.

Similar to what others have said, Jared is so emotionally immature, it’s unreal. Sure his thoughts are 10% removed from men..but only the 25 year old boys…he’s definitely not 10% removed from any men that I’ve dated in their late 30s. How he’s allowed to continue to give these takes that discredit and minimizes women’s thoughts/experience is beyond me. You could tell there was a period when the episodes were easy listens cos he clearly got feedback to be less mean (you could literally hear him catch himself from saying something dumb and misogynistic), but over time he can’t help his true self, he’s back at it again these last few weeks. He’s not even that funny, he’s just loud and obnoxious (everyone gets a Netflix special these days, so pls chill), I laugh more at Jordana’s smart quips Jordana pls pls call this stuff out in real time in a more direct way until he gets it…right now, Jordana does subtly try to shift his perspective but he’s too emotionally inept and lacks self awareness to understand what she’s getting at. It’s an exhausting listen that can easily flip a relaxing day 180.

This used to be my go to pod but in the past year or so I really have found it hard to listen to Jared’s takes. I still enjoy the banter and discussion, but… it’s getting draining and exhausting to hear Jared’s thoughts tbh. I used to vehemently disagree with people saying we needed new hosts but now I’m veering towards that idea.

Not only is this the only podcast I’ve ever subscribed to…It’s also the only consistently hilarious and substantial podcast I’ve listened to over the years. I saw Jared live once on a date, which did not work out and ended up with him cheating, and giving me chlamydia, but anyways he gave this podcast a shout out and I’ve been listening to it ever since and I’ve made sure anytime he’s even remotely close to my area, that I go see him live because he’s also the funniest and most consistent comedian I’ve ever seen. I even went the night before my baby was due because I introduced Jared to my husband and we are both obsessed enough that we had to make that show happen. I love their dynamic and think Jordana’s humor matches Jared in a way that pairs for the perfect podcast full of laughs and genuine conversation. I also appreciate how though they both have political views loosely sprinkled in here and there they don’t make their podcast all about it, which is so refreshing in today’s climate. I know that regardless of what the episode is about when I turn it on, I can escape the day and laugh and feel good when it’s over. Genuinely love this podcast so much that I’m on my walk voice texting this lengthy review. anyways if this podcast ever stopped, I would be devastated so keep up the good work guys

And your insistence on repeatedly bringing him on the show undermines your credibility.

JAREDDDDD lol im so glad you finally addressed the Mel Robbin’s thing. I literally couldn’t get through that episode she was AWFUL and I dislike her so much. Thank you for finally saying how you felt during that interview hahahaha

Hey J&J - huge fan, feather feather - but man the guests are rough. The chemistry between you two can’t be beat, plz loose all the guests!

Just echoing some of the other reviews. Some guests seem so random and the content is not always relatable. I know we can’t all relate to everything 100% of the time, but the last episode with Jordan’s dermatologist was so boring and uninteresting. It just seemed like she wanted to come on to plug her practice, or maybe Jordana thought the story was more interesting because they’re friends.
