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 Friend Get 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 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?

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.
