On this week’s Ticked Off Tuesday, Jared kicks things off fresh off his birthday, unpacking the emotional crash that hits the second your “birthday week” excuses expire, and real life comes rushing back in. He spirals into a hilarious rant about people still posting happy birthdays on Facebook, questioning whether it’s kindness or pure notification-driven obligation. Listener complaints bring the chaos, including a family feud sparked by a shockingly low shrimp count in shrimp fried rice, the frustration of unreadable text messages on TV shows, and Walmart pickup parking spots being hijacked by rule-ignoring shoppers. Jared also weighs in on algorithm fatigue after one exhausted mom gets flooded with GLP-1 weight loss ads while breastfeeding and just trying to scroll in peace. It’s a cathartic episode full of petty grievances, modern annoyances, and the oddly comforting joy of complaining together!Jared is on tour! 👉 jaredfreid.comCheck out his new book! 👉 Preorder Walking Red Flag: Dating Advice from Your Favorite Guy FriendGet GLP-1s for $133/month with a 3-month commitment @ http://Brellohealth.com/
On this Mailbag Monday, Jared tackles a friendship dilemma that feels way too real: what do you do when your almost-30 friend turns every hang into a wedding countdown for a fiancé who doesn’t exist yet? He breaks down timeline panic, Pinterest proposal boards, and why trying to change someone’s dating priorities might be missing the point entirely. Plus, a listener with a perfect husband struggles to survive group chats full of spouse complaints, and another host wonders how to handle a friend’s nightmare girlfriend before a big group outing. It’s an episode about annoying friends, social survival tactics, and knowing when honesty helps and when it just makes things worse!Jared is on tour! 👉 jaredfreid.comCheck out his new book! 👉 Preorder Walking Red Flag: Dating Advice from Your Favorite Guy FriendGet GLP-1s for $133/month with a 3-month commitment @ http://Brellohealth.com/
Jared riffs through the wildest pop culture headlines this week, from Lisa Rinna finally shutting down decades-old rumors about husband Harry Hamlin to why everyone secretly clicked on photos of Taylor Swift going makeup-free in the studio. He reacts to Cardi B literally falling through a trap door mid-performance, questions what counts as an “incredibly vulgar” confession from Ethan Hawke, and breaks down celebrity PR nonsense that somehow becomes news. Plus, Jared dives into how the United States men's national ice hockey team celebrated Olympic gold with a massive Miami party, $150K in champagne, and a tribute to Johnny Gaudreau.

Jared is joined by comedian Jackie Fabulous! They unpack Jackie's 2 ex-husbands, why she knew on her wedding night it wouldn’t last, and how being a self-proclaimed “lover girl” kept her posting glowing tributes to a man she later realized wasn’t making her life easier. Jackie shares what it’s like taping her Hulu special, You Can Leave at the Triad Theater, right after moving out, refusing to watch the edit, and the one joke about asking “Can I sh*t here?” that killed everywhere except Comics Unleashed. They debate expensive weddings vs. down payments, masturbation as a decision-making tool, why some words hit harder than others on stage, and the unexpected peace of sleeping alone. It’s honest, filthy, thoughtful, and very fabulous.You Can Leave is out now on Hulu!

On this Ticked Off Tuesday, Jared goes IN on modern everyday chaos: adults who treat a bakery menu like it’s the Cheesecake Factory (bring back the 30sec shot clock), group fitness rebels doing the exact opposite of every move, people who somehow still can’t open email attachments, and the nonstop-talking plane mom who blocks the aisle while packing her entire life at landing.

On today’s Mailbag Monday, Jared covers 3 modern dating dilemmas: how to shut down a mother in law calling you “mama” without starting family drama, whether seeing bikini models on a guy’s IG Explore page plus multiple dating apps is just normal dating or a real red flag, and what it means when someone asks about your day but never follows up. Is it a lack of emotional curiosity or just bad conversational skills?

It's Pop Culture Thursday! Jared dives straight into Tom Brady and Alex Earle, breaking down their “fun fling” and the PR machine behind it. Jared also unpacks Jennifer Aniston’s low-key birthday with boyfriend Jim Curtis and what might really be behind the headlines. Then it’s Jason Bateman getting sober over “tension” with Amanda Anka, plus the latest on Brandi Glanville’s shocking health reveal. We also hit Hilaria Baldwin’s accent controversy, Shia LaBeouf’s Bourbon Street arrest, and Heidi Klum’s headline-making Grammys dress.

Jared Freid welcomes comedian Shaun Murphy to Chit Chat Wednesday for a wide-ranging hang that covers stand-up life, dating, body image, nerd culture, and what happens when your comedy special includes a joke about your own skinny dick. Shaun talks about his new YouTube special Long Story Thin, growing up in Buffalo, balancing sports fandom with nerd energy, and navigating family, relationships, and confidence on stage. The two dig into watching other comedians, staying relatable when success hits, Ozempic, cookie rankings (Tate’s truthers unite), Star Wars vs Harry Potter, and why Andor might actually be the best show ever made. Plus, Jared puts Shaun through a “Nerd or Not a Nerd” game that somehow connects Zelda, Buffalo Bills trauma, and comedy authenticity.Check out Shaun's new special today! 👉https://youtu.be/sqgJfhnpBN8?si=FJwQTzGFB9FrhHXMJared is on tour! 👉 jaredfreid.comCheck out his new book! 👉 Preorder Walking Red Flag: Dating Advice from Your Favorite Guy FriendDon’t sleep on @ultrapouches.

Jared’s in Dallas for Ticked Off Tuesday, hyping the Patreon (where the real complaints jump the line) and kicking things off with two everyday rants: gas stations that “label” broken pumps with a sad little piece of tape, and a new apartment with shower pressure so weak it turns bathing into a light misting. Then the listeners come in hot: one new homeowner gets hounded by the same window company so aggressively it goes from annoying to genuinely creepy, and she needs a go-to line for the dreaded “do you live alone?” question. Another duo tries to relive their Boston glory days with a casual early dinner… and discovers the city has apparently gone “velvet rope + reservation-only bar stools,” sending them on a scavenger hunt. We also get a property-line showdown (dogs, poop, and a kid sledding on someone else’s lawn), plus a grad-school friend feud where a former friend gets drunk and affectionate, then goes ice-cold sober. Plenty of petty, plenty of relatable, and just enough chaos to make you grateful you’re not the one dealing with the window guy.Jared is on tour! 👉 jaredfreid.comCheck out his new book! 👉 Preorder Walking Red Flag: Dating Advice from Your Favorite Guy FriendGet 20% off your first 6 months of Quo business communications at http://quo.com/JTRAINSupport the show and get $10 off your 1 st month of Nutrafol.

Jared’s in Dallas for Mailbag Monday, pitching shows, his Walking Red Flag book, and his favorite pastime: giving brutally honest advice to strangers with zero eye contact. First up: a listener stacks two Hinge dates back-to-back, shows up late to date #2, and the text thread takes a turn that’s equal parts awkward and hilarious. Then things get real when a “perpetual girlfriend” realizes she wants marriage… and her boyfriend very much does not. Finally, we hop over to Portugal/Ireland for a long-distance romance that felt amazing for one weekend, but might be moving a little too fast, so what’s the move before she moves home? Expect travel chaos, dating math, and Jared’s signature “I’m not saying it’s bad, but…” energy.Jared is on tour! 👉 jaredfreid.comCheck out his new book! 👉 Preorder Walking Red Flag: Dating Advice from Your Favorite Guy FriendGet 20% off your first 6 months of Quo business communications at http://Quo.com/JTRAIN Support the show and get $10 off your 1 st month of Nutrafol.

It’s Pop Culture Thursday, and Jared Freid is breaking down the biggest Page Six headlines, straight from Delray Beach. Jared reacts to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show, plus surprise appearances from Ricky Martin, Lady Gaga, Cardi B, Pedro Pascal, Jessica Alba, Alex Earle, and David Grutman. He delves into Bethenny Frankel’s viral takes, Chris Brown and Jake Paul's stirring drama, and Tom Brady's possible hook-up with TikTok star Alex Earle. There’s also Travis Kelce repping Gigi Hadid’s fashion line, Taylor Swift’s inner circle, 50 Cent trolling Cardi B and Stefon Diggs, and Jared’s thoughts on Super Bowl culture, celebrity outrage, and why halftime shows aren’t as fun anymore. If you love pop culture, celeb gossip, and Jared’s unfiltered takes on everything from Madonna to Kim Kardashian, this episode is for you!
Jared welcomes legendary “expert in pessimism” Eddie Pepitone for a Chit Chat Wednesday that somehow turns bleak childhood memories into pure comedy gold. Eddie takes us from soot-covered Brooklyn delis to surviving the Edinburgh Fringe like a stand-up endurance athlete, and he’s got some strong feelings about being labeled “the shouty guy.” They get into the weird relationship comics have with their fans, why bad times can weirdly be “Pepitone season,” and what today’s stand-up boom is doing to the craft. Then things take an unexpected turn into gym videos, capitalism rants, and a very specific Florida breakfast order that says a lot about a person. Stick around for the menu game and the travel story that proves Eddie might actually chase historic storms on purpose.Jared is on tour! 👉 jaredfreid.comCheck out his new book! 👉 Preorder Walking Red Flag: Dating Advice from Your Favorite Guy FriendSupport the show and get GLP-1s for $133/month with a 3-month commitment @ http://brellohealth.com/ Get $2.99 per meal on your first box & 10% off for 1 month with code jtrain299 at http://everyplate.com/podcast
First up, Jared’s fresh off a Fort Lauderdale to NYC to Boston travel day and gets sent into a spiral by his beloved snow boots: thick laces, constant untying, and the emotional journey from single-knot optimism to double-knot resignation.A listener follows with a very relatable airline rage: paying for a carry-on but still being forced to gate-check it, which sends Jared into a full “take boarding zones seriously” fantasy that you’ll want to hear in his exact tone. Other complaints hit the NYC snow-removal chaos and the eternal scam of street cleaning that mostly just… rearranges dirt. Finally, a listener vents about being completely turned off by dating app profiles that lead with negativity about the apps themselves.

Jared kicks off Mailbag Monday from Delray Beach with a classic rant: preorder his book Walking Red Flag (mostly to prove his dad wrong) and please don’t DM him excuses for missing shows. Then he dives into a birthday-party mystery when two very sentimental Chiefs commemorative Coca-Colas disappear from the garage fridge… and the prime suspect is a friend’s “used car salesman” husband with a history of cheating and sketchy behavior. Next, a woman wonders if it’s needy to ask why her guy ditched their brunch for Super Bowl plans. Finally, a bride-to-be panics over wedding speeches because she wants one best friend to speak… but not the other.

The only guest I ever want you to have. Liza/Jared podcast would be nothing like U Up? I swear!
This was a horrible episode, I generally enjoy this show. This episode showed just how much of a highbrow douche Jared and his politically leaning friend are. in my opinion, this showed you who Jared is and who his real circle of friends are. didn't like Here's or Chicken wing Keith. In so many ways you have to love this show. If you aren't aware that Jared's highbrow attitude is really real, then you are clueless. We generally accept it we all have this friend. This episode showcased to me his negative side more than his comic side.
27:00... beautiful
what if the guy that was at the window looks sketchy so the guy in the middle is protecting her from the weird dude by the window.
