Description

Jared kicks off a classic three-email Mailbag Monday from the road before diving into the good stuff. First up: a listener nine months into a serious relationship asks how to handle two persistent guy texters (one old flame, one married coworker); Jared recommends a graceful “text breakup” to clear space for the new relationship. Then he dismantles the TikTok mantra “date them till you hate them,” arguing that ignoring $5 problems only turns them into $1,000 blowups have the small talks early. Next, an in-law dining dilemma: a mother-in-law who always asks to move tables; his move is tactical detachment, go “wash your hands,” don’t sit until the seating czar approves, and stop treating preferences like moral crimes. He also shares updates on the Table for One tour, a finished special, a finished book, and the daily 20-minute minimum promise. Quick, candid, and just the right amount of chaotic.
