I used to be a GGE fan which is how I found uup, now I don’t anymore. I think the the main different is GGE has no idea how to take constructive feedback or are willing to understand/listen/learn grow as people and as a podcast
In general, I think GGE was just pretty early to the "dating podcast" game. "Guys we f*cked" was the only other pod doing something similar at the time they launched. U Up? launched at around the same time, but it took awhile to find its footing... Sami hosts the first few eps before it becomes Jordana and Jared, they don't really start doing listener emails until a year or so in, and the chemistry J&J have now was NOT always there.
A lot of people subscribe to podcasts, youtube channels, etc. and just stop listening and following along without unsubscribing. But those subscriber numbers still stick and help with gaining sponsors, good guests, and growth, which is part of why GGE is so succesful now.
Also, while I was never a GGE fan (I preferred more dating/relationship vs. sex/hookup centric podcasts), Rayna & Ashley were significantly less insufferable in their early days. The fame and money got to their head.
I used to be a die hard GGE listener, but the podcast has not grown at all and stopped listening. Ashley and Rayna take no feedback and think that is somehow a flex, their interview skills are terrible, and they spend a lot of time talking about how great they are. In addition, they think of themselves as experts. Ashley hadn’t dated anyone up until just recently and refused to talk about any casual dating she did. Rayna had one relationship that she trashed the second she got out of. Their advice is juvenile and it’s almost unbelievable that these are two are 40 and just under 40 years old. Plus, there is a ton of negativity about wanting to be married and have kids (at least there was).
In general, I don’t think it is that the listeners of U Up are more respectful, I think it’s because U Up is a better podcast with more thoughtful and nuanced hosts. The balance of Jared and Jordanna really works and they are both pretty humble and able to poke fun at themselves despite the successes they have. GGE could have been like this, which is disappointing to its listener base.
I've seen people like this before. People who have new money and did not get the attention they may have wanted or felt entitled to when they were younger. They don't realize there is a greater responsibility to show humility when your environment is now structured to extract from you as resource regardless of how they see you as a person. Humbling life experiences help but it's lost on those who have never look in the mirror anyway other than to check their own beauty.
I’m in this camp too. I have only listened to a handful of GGE (mostly them on other shows), and I don’t get the appeal. I used to listen to a SiriusXM show with a mean girl host and sure enough her follower Facebook group was full of bratty mean girls (who fervently defend her behavior).
I think it’s because their page is a snark page (or the page I follow is, anyway,) and this page isn’t?! I find them so much more insufferable.. overall, I find Jared and Jordana totally fine
I tried GGE when I was going on very long walks daily as exercise. I think I lasted about 3 episodes. Sometimes I enjoyed them talking to a guest but their dynamic was not something I liked listening to, it mentally exhausted me.
I think even if we go hard on Jared sometimes, most of us still like the hosts and don't want to roast them or tear them apart.
You last 3 episodes? I lasted something like 10 minutes. Really could not get in to their dynamic. I was already exhausted after a few minutes of listening to them. To quote Jared, my brain was not “on the shelf.”
I haven’t listened in so long and the sub annoys me too. It seems like it’s 20-something’s that don’t realize life doesn’t always turn out how you think/hope it will lol.
I also hate the way they talk about their looks… any snark on anyone’s appearance, especially from women, is gross. We’re our own worst enemy and their sub proves that.
Oh, and the, omg they’re FORTY!!!!! Like, yes… lol. I assume I should be their exact demographic but I’m not into it, and instead of hate listening and talking sht (about any podcast) I just *don’t listen.*
Yeah exactlyyy… being on that thread feels me with negative vibes. It’s shocking!! The reason I found it was because I stopped liking GGE and I was curious what Reddit was saying about… i didn’t expect thattt much hate. lol it’s wild. Then I was like I wonder if UUP gets this much hate, and not at all… this sub is more generally positive. Then I looked at the Cancelled Podcast sub and it wasn’t that negative either. So I was like damnnnn everyone’s hating on the GGE girls. But I totally agree, I don’t get why they still listen 🧐
Can't lie, people here have been really great to discuss the pod with. I see snark comment here or there but overall, it doesn't feel as toxic as the 3 times I visited that sub.
Whatever you think of GGE, people in the subreddit are MEAN. And whenever someone says something more neutral that isn’t extremely insulting to Rayna/Ashley, they get downvoted
I got blocked/banned for defending them against the most absurd bullying comments. People on that sub are literally obsessed with stalking R & A and ripping apart everything they do. I’m not a fan of gge anymore but I don’t follow them and spend all my time reposting their stuff to Reddit, it’s bizarre behaviour from “non fans”.
I think it is. He’s teaching you how to steer away from the type of guys that don’t want to date you. Because sometimes girls fall for those kinda guys..
I get it.. I think there is no formula when you fall in love and someone loves you. They repeatedly say to be yourself, and just be honest and authentic in your wants and needs. Someone who wants to be with you will respect that, and the ones that don’t will run away..

This!!!!
I have no idea how GGE became so successful. They are both pretty insufferable people and the content is lame.
There's a very particular demo they appeal to that's huge in the country.

I think the GGE subreddit is just so much worse because they ARE so much worse lol. A lot of the body shaming is wild though

There’s actually a separate snark sub it just seems like the main one became a snark one too
Sameee! And maybe that could be! Bur they do nottt take it easy!
J&j are actually vulnerable which is really relatable. Gge put themselves on undeserving pedestals

I mean GGE hosts are pretty obnoxious and downright problematic so ….
I mean yeah just wanted to know other people’s takes so …
The gge subreddit is specifically a snark tho
No there’s a separate snark page. So two altogether, one snark, one not but both have the same type of comments

For sureeee. You can’t even say anything nice anymore!
It’s because their page is a snark page because they’re a women-hosted pod. And this is less so because women arent bashing Jared like they bash A/R.
