DQKJBraveI really admire how brave Ali is in continuing the pod and talking so openly about her life. I think her experiences are relatable and she seems to have grown through the years.
-
kne22586Going downhillHave loved listening over the years but unfortunately will be stopping. The show feels like it naturally had an ending but Ali continues to hang on. Definitely enjoyed first few years but the time has come to say goodbye
-
goldiana00Levity!Ali, you are so thoughtful and inspiring... this first solo episode felt like a hug, thank you for being vulnerable... i was a long time listener who fell off but is excited to be back. ❤️
-
IndieHunter27CringeyThis podcast took a nosedive over the past year. Had to finally unsubscribe. One host has severe delulu main character syndrome and the other is checked out. I’m not convinced these people are really friends who like each other, and there’s no coherent concept anymore
-
QwerrtythebestBoringI used to look forward to this every week, but it has become painful to listen to.
-
ArielM_Pgone downhillI saw an old review of mine about how much I loved the pod in the Ali & Roark days. Unfortunately, I think the quality of the podcast has really gone downhill since Roark’s departure since it seems like she was doing a lot of the organization and shaping of the podcast. And I think she and Ali had a great dynamic. Ali & Erica don’t work well as co-hosts where I feel like neither of them are able to engage with the other in a real & vulnerable way.
-
cleo399BoringGosh this show has gotten so much worse. Erica is so negative and tells really boring stories about how hard the comedy industry is. Isn’t this supposed to be a dating show? She doesn’t even date and is really judgy of Ali’s stories. I don’t think the hosts like each other - you can hear it in their tones of voice. And Ali holds herself out as a dating expert, which is comical given that she’s a nervous wreck in her own relationship (with a guy who is still married…). I’m done with this show.
-
SportymngirlToo many adsI listen to a lot of podcasts.. and yours is fun.. but the amount of ads per episode is obnoxious. I either have to skip through them.. as they are so repetitive.. or I stop the episode
-
dumplinggalUsed to be good, now just so so badFor the life of me I have no idea how Ali calls herself a dating coach when she consistently makes such poor dating choices. Even now that she’s in a relationship she recently bragged about how she went to her bf’s house drunk, after he said not to because he was sick?? And why is Erica cohosting a dating podcast when she basically never dates and has no relationship experience?? I miss the Roark days and overall they should just call this podcast quits.
-
rooosickBiggest red flagHow does a “dating coach” not see that your boyfriend going on a week long “family” vacation without you is all red 🚩🚩🚩.
-
Empriss 11201Ask a Man with CharlesThis was probably the best one of all. It was so funny and his honesty was priceless. He should be a regular lol. You guys sounded like you were legit having a blast. As a woman in the 40+ range, all the questions resonated and loved the perspective. Dating in your 40s is not for the weak 😂

courtney 💜💜Love this podOne of my fave podcasts and I feel like it just is getting better with time! I really enjoyed the recent Shrink Chicks episode- I listen to their podcast too! I’ve never heard of podcasters sending out a request for feedback from their listeners- I think that takes such humility and I have so much respect for Ali and Erica for that! I always thought the show has been great, so didn’t really have any suggestions to add, but I see them taking in others’ suggestions and want to applaud them for it (again, what other podcasts are doing that!). I look forward to listening every week, it’s like hanging with friends. I’d love for the Shrink Chicks to come back on again! Or Jillian Turecki!
-
hxmhxm01’s all across the board.I decided to give the pod one last listen and you guys there is something seriously off about their dynamic. Erica speaks in a manner that is negative and judgy and Ali is scam artist trying to be a dating coach and have people pay her with what qualifications I DONT KNOW.
-
oyewiththepoodlesQuality of the pod really took a hit😞
-
Rach&Winston🐶One of my favorite podcasts!This podcast is so thought provoking, funny, and vulnerable. Ali and Erica have great conversation regarding all aspects of dating and relationships. Highly recommend!
-
C$$$$$$$$$$$$Asking Ali more questionsLoved the pod today! It's wonderful hearing Ali so happy & learning more about her new relationship. I wish Erica would ask more follow-up questions during Ali's dating updates, and there's a lot of there there. Not sure this was intentional but for some reason sounded like Erica was not into Ali's updates/trying to diminish it a bit? Again, don't think intentional, but that's how it came off to me during the ILY segment (to be clear I like Erica as a co-host and think she's hilarious). At the same time I want there to be more of a back-and-forth after Ali shares dating updates. I love this pod and think both Ali & Erica are delightful.
-
jessfrombostonNeed a new cohost for AliErica’s responses to Ali’s relationship updates are sad. I think Ali needs a new cohost who is actually excited for her, like Ali would be for Erica. Erica is just coming off really bitter and not a good friend at all. It’s tough to listen to since the dynamic is so off.
-
avidlistener494End it, we are beggingErica is out of her mind and borderline bullies Ali. Maybe it’s jealousy from never having an adult relationship. Ali is dating a married man and they are in love. This is an insane podcast with horrible tension. Please put it out of its misery
-
miranz.hNot for me anymoreI’m re-reading my first review of the pod when Roark was the co-host and I had a rave review. Unfortunately this review will be the opposite. This podcast has become increasingly harder to listen to as times gone on. I see that some of the reviews say that Ali struggles with vulnerability and seems defensive which I agree with. However my biggest critique is how Erica is towards Ali. I find Erica to be hyper-critical of Ali which puts her on the defensive. From my POV Erica will unnecessarily judge Ali for something and will couch it with language such as “I’m trying to push you to be better” which makes this feel less like two friends talking and more like one person trying to coach another without permission.

Kyla McIt’s like listening to your friendsDating today can be so hard and discouraging, but their perspective is always refreshing. They don’t always agree, which I love and instead they’re open minded about each others’ perspectives and often offer a perspective I haven’t thought of myself. They’ve both helped me to become more confident in dating, and confident in leading a full single life. As a Patreon supporter, I love being able to write in questions based on current situations/dilemmas. Their advice is always helpful!!
-
J@ime21Look forward to every weekAli and Erica are great, the show is varied and always interesting. I love their chemistry, the guests they choose and the way they share their experiences dating. I started listening when I was single and still love it now that I’m married. Highly recommend!
-
Sdm12855Love these two!!What a refreshing, delightful pod! Ali and Erica are unafraid to get deep, challenge each other, and bring their own perspectives to bear. I loooove the updates section. Today’s episode was so raw and vulnerable - thank you ladies for letting us in and being so real with us and with each other!❤️
-
EmilySChuppProviding different perspectives and helpful insights!I’m so glad that I stumbled across this podcast a year and a half ago. I’ve grown so much in how I view dating and it’s been so helpful to have a consistent place for advice and sometimes commiseration. Would absolutely recommend this pod to any single peeps in the dating world (mostly geared towards hetero relationships). Love listening to Ali and Erica every week! And the Patreon is even better.
-
Gabi in BKAll The TeaI’ve always loved the pod. It feels like you’re overhearing two girlfriends on the train catching up about their weekly dating escapades. I give Ali and Erica a lot of credit for putting it all out there! It’s also refreshing to hear dating stories that aren’t packaged for a Tik Tok trend, or someone who found their person in their early 20s. Love hearing them grow and evolve!
-
CrayBooMidThe podcast has definitely been hit or miss lately. Erica and Ali’s chemistry is definitely off. The dynamic was better with Roark because Roark kept Ali in check and Ali helped make Roark softer. As a listener, I’ve found myself being annoyed by Ali being what feels somewhat dishonest and “know-it-all” like and you can hear that come through with Erica too in recent episodes.
-
Thisappistheowrstappeverfyethe fye age minimum reference had me rolling 😂
-
TravelingJ96Vibes are off latelyI really enjoy this pod but lately the pod and esp the Patreon feels off to me. Ali is withdrawing to share her dating experiences (of course it’s her right to) but when you have a dating podcast and switch up what you’ve been doing, limits how relatable it used to be. This last Patreon episode, Ali is sharing an experience and Erica replies with one word answers and seems to dismiss what Ali’s sharing. Feels weird, maybe it’s pod fatigue or dating slumps (who hasn’t been there). Hope the ladies work out their issues w each other.
-
BlessedandDressedTrainwreck I Love Listening ToListening to this pod and the Patreon is totally worth it to listen to Ali totally reject available men that makes an effort to build a relationship for trainwreck guys that are going to cause situationship to crash and burn. 🤣 I don’t even feel bad saying this anymore because it is obviously a choice on her part at this point.
-
CCSR79So boring nowadaysThis used to be a great pod and I could relate so much and loved the useful advice. Now it’s no longer about dating, Erica is struggling with dating and I feel for her and want to give her a virtual hug because who hasn’t been there? But Ali is just not vulnerable and doesn’t share her experience and somehow went from anxious to avoidant while proclaiming to be secure. I wish them both the very best, I truly do, but it went from one of my favorites to me skipping most weeks or not finishing when I do listen in.
-
ClairePDX12SameAs a thirty year old woman dating in a big city, their experiences totally resonate. Really appreciate how openly they share their dates and navigate this crazy process. Hoping we all find love soon!
-
jackie3087Vibes feel off..I have loved this pod for a while! While I definitely miss Roark, I really liked Ali and Erica’s dynamic and a fresh perspective on dating. Lately though, it sounds (at least to the listener) that there is a lot of tension between the two. They aren’t open to hearing out each other's opinions as much, and can be dismissive of each other and of listener questions. It pains me to say, but I’m out until this gets better.
-
CkoziiYour advice has helped me with dating!Just wanted to give you both a shout out, love your realness, humor, and advocacy for what you want and need when it comes to dating! Thank you for normalizing being ‘needy’ and having scripts to use that definitely come in handy. Keep doing the great work you’re doing, it’s made a world of difference to me and how I approach dating and asking for what I want! Plus I love listening to this in the gym and laughing to myself at the stories you and Erica share 🤣
-
Becky in KCThis is a never-miss podcast for me!Let me start by saying I am 48 years old and I’ve been happily married for 27 years. We have four kids (24, 22, 19 and 18.) So why, you may ask, do I listen to a podcast about dating?! Because I have single friends!! And I want to know more about what the dating world is like these days. And also, because I love Ali and Erica so much! Erica is absolutely hilarious, but she is also deeply warm and kind and empathetic. Such a wise voice. 🩷 Ali is smart and fun and full of honest feedback and ideas. They have great guests that cover a variety of topics and overall, listening is just like hanging out with your bffs! I love being apart of their Patreon too. A++ podcast all the way around!
-
karenw0716Very relatable!I like the setup of the podcast (part updates about their own dating adventures) and part guests on different topics. It’s like listening to a good friends’ conversation - I find both Ali and Erica very relatable and funny. A nice balance of not taking dating too seriously but with intention.
-
Joel dawgMy favorite podcast!From laughing out loud to deep in thought for hours after, Ali and Erica feel like friends who I can’t wait to hang out with each week! They are relatable, honest and going through it along with us. Definitely one of the highlights of my week!
-
janesmith103956295Would give 0 if possibleTwo pathetic scam artists talking AT each other giving daring advice in their late 30s and with herpes. No thanks.
-
ToastnwafflesGone downhillUsed to like this podcast more when it was Roark and Ali sharing dating updates and being vulnerable. So many of the episodes nowadays aren’t really about dating, and the hosts don’t even seem to like each other. It’s often uncomfortable and boring to listen to.
-
Rebecca E. MarlboroughLove AliLove Ali…but seems Erica could be a bit more supportive of her? She doesn’t seem to care.
-
dddddddddgdgdgdddDating podcast where no one goes on datesIt feels like the hosts don’t actually like each other
-
myainselThe ali lady needs helpGirl just find a new therapist and stop living in this pickme denial 😬
-
lambo578DisappointingAli is clearly a business minded person. She tags every single item she buys in her posts and pod for commission. While being so ambitious about posting, she can’t even support and acknowledge her old co host Roark who started a new podcast. It’s hard to follow an influencer who shells out materialism on things she hasn’t even tried before posting.
-
EMK516!LOVE! Feel Like I’m Chatting with FriendsThis is my new favorite pod!! I had heard of both Erica (through JTrain pod) and Ali (through TT), but hadn’t made the connection that they knew each other. I’m so happy to have found this great podcast! I love listening to their life updates, insights, and perspectives. As a single gal in my late twenties, listening to Erica and Ali feels like a conversation with my supportive (and funny) best friends.
-
Hallie6611AwkwardThe uncomfortable skin tone comments from the white host are…honestly shocking.
-
Chelsea.MattsonLove it!I started listening when I was getting back into dating post divorce. It was super helpful (and entertaining!) when navigating the online dating scene. Now I’m engaged (going to get married in just a couple days) but still listen because I love hearing the stories and topics.
-
chachacha55MissAli is so energetic and fun to follow, but Erica is like the Eeyore of the pod. Hard to listen.
-
cassiethechef26Loveable undateablesomg the dating podcast I’ve been waiting for. It’s tough to listen to podcasts where the hosts know what they are doing. On this one it’s the opposite. one cohost has herpeez (oof) and the other has the personality equivalent of herpes (ooooof) But it’s really encouraging to hear their stories… i for one feel much better about my life
-
Runningon4joyLove the dating app fatigue oneThank you for validating everything I was feeling in this crazy process of dating … dating fatigue is real. Taking a break from them … not gonna feel bad about it 🙌🏻
