I Recently Discovered The 'U Up?' Podcast And Now My Days Are 10 Times Better

I have recently spent a lot of time in the car. Road trips for traveling, back and forth from school, and just the day-to-day driving from work and school.

And as big of a fan of music as I am, when you're on a long road trip or listening to the same Spotify playlist every time you get in the car, it can sometimes get old.

My boyfriend Jaxson and I were in the car for a 5 and a half hour drive to Savannah, Georgia for our fall break vacation. And as fun as it is talking and listening to throwback tunes, he suggested something that could make our road trip a little more fun.

He suggested listening to a podcast. At first, just the thought of hearing people talk for 5 hours already bored me; but I decided to give it a chance.

I'm a writer and a communication major so it is no surprise that I love a good discussion, conversation, and debate. I just needed to find one that would spark my interest.

I browsed on the Apple Podcast app for a show that might catch my eye. Under the comedy category,' U Up?' by Betches Media immediately caught my eye with their brightly colored cartoon logo and the short description of what the podcast was all about. To make my discovery a long story short, within the first few minutes of the podcast we were hooked and listened to the 'U Up?' podcast for the rest of the car ride.

'U Up?' is a modern-day dating podcast presented by Betches Media and hosted by the hilarious Jordana Abraham and Jared Freid. In their multiple segments, they discuss everything from dating issues and relationship advice to odd sexual encounters and dates sent in by viewers.

The two hosts together make a hysterical pair and their comments on viewer dating experiences keep me laughing the entire show. Not only is the podcast entertaining because of the comedy aspect, but it is also so relatable- especially to millennials.

With episode titles such as "What's The Best Way To Get Someone To Stop Texting You?" "Can You Start A Real Relationship From An Instagram Thirst Trap?" and "Is It Okay To Ask How Many People They've Slept With?" when it comes to swoon topics- this podcast has it all.

Having both the male and the female perspective from Jared and Jordana, makes the podcast relatable to everyone. Jared's sarcastic and raunchy humor mixed with Jordana's blunt point of view where she isn't scared to say all the things girls do but never want to admit, you're bound to find a common point of view.

So next time you are on a road trip with your friends, trying to think of anything to get you through that 30 minutes on the elliptical, or can't find anything to watch on TV- I highly recommend giving 'U Up?' a listen.

I promise you won't regret it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
