And I'm Serena. And we are here with our favorite guest, our favorite comedian, Jared Freed, is on the podcast today. Jared, welcome back. Thank you so much for having me. Such a pleasure to be here. It goes both ways. This is my favorite show to do. I love talking with you guys.

I love that I've etched out a regular week here. Like this is, so I love that I've like, like, found a home. I feel like, you know, I feel like I'm like, you know, on the Tonight Show and like this hometown week is my week. You know, Taylor Swift goes on Jimmy Fallon every Veterans Day. I come on Bachelor Happy Hour. This is true. Every hometown.

And it's really, it really puts a smile on my face because this is famously or, I mean, I should never say famously for myself. if no one knows me, I'm just a troll under a rock yelling at the show. I love hometowns. And I know you guys are not as big a hometown fans as I am. I just love the premise of person who did not sign up to go on a reality show has to be on a reality show. Because the families are all there somewhat against their will. It is a, their loved one of theirs was like, please go on the reality show.

the show I might get married to this person and they all have to show up and we get like four different flavors of family which is always a blast for me to to date do you have a favorite that you can remember a favorite hometown Katie Thurston with her with her aunt and mom is probably one of the the better more uncomfortable ones do you guys remember that one yes that was during was the bachelor's. She was the bachelor's, the bachelor's, and it was her family meeting two of her top guys or whatever. Yeah, yeah. I think Blake and Greg. I remember that. Yeah. Was it Blake and Greg? I think it was just Blake. I think it was just Blake. I think at that point he was the only guy left. Well, Greg left or something. There was something, I'm sure the historians who listen

will update us and what happened. But I just remember, you know, you think back at like, what what it was during COVID I think too and it was just you try to think of like what like I just want a family who's not into it like I think that is like the most fun thing that could happen and you know this this week I would say we had four pretty nice interactions there were fun moments there were you know some it got a little long it got a little heavy you know with some of the people but it was really I I always enjoy it but how were I I didn't even ask you how are you two doing you guys are you're separated right now in Toronto and in Vegas how we're doing doesn't it doesn't really matter we're doing we're doing we're doing wow is everything okay

we're good we're great yeah you guys are good yeah you're trying to spark divorce for her so what's going on no I'm trying to get too personal right now everyone it's not looking good from two different locations I mean I don't know if there's video here the guys I'm in Vegas I'm well I'm going to I had to go. I'm going to L.A. tomorrow. So it just came out here and golf for a day. But I'm on money. So when you're up money in Vegas, that's a win.

Okay, back to... Let's recap hometown. Hometowns. Go ahead, Serena. First hometown. First hometown. We have Devin, which I was actually surprised they started with Devin. Because I don't know.

I just, I wasn't, that wasn't what I was expecting. But they have Devin in Houston and they're running with his run club, which I also wasn't expecting. that's the thing I listen I would rather die alone than be then try to meet the woman of my dreams in a run club like like and here's what I didn't understand I'm I had actually I blocked this out of my brain I'm watching the run club and I'm like didn't these just start like was I was either asleep when run clubs became the new social scene because for devon to have already been involved in one enough to have them be his best of friends and wearing shirts with his name on it. I'm like, how is this even possible? How quickly did you make these relationships?

His friends. His friends started the run club. Okay, because I was watching it was being like, are you sure about that? That's how I read the situation. I'm not sure, but that's how I read the situation that it was like, oh, a friend of mine or friends of mine started this run club.

Was it the other way around? Like, he joined the run club and then they became friends? I'll believe this, but like these, run clubs just started five minutes ago like how do these people know you this well why are they so proud of you like I also like the idea and Devin is sweating

like an animal like they go on this run it's not a good like no one is wearing like an under armor material shirt they're all in like cotton shirts it's horrible it's all horrible and disgusting Jen's in Flair leggings like what are we doing right now? None of it makes sense

none of it seem planned out like I Devin does a great job as he usually does But I just was like If someone was like Like I saw that run club running up And I was like If I were Jen I'd be like End the date

I'm gonna go home I didn't know you're a run club guy I'm out of here But you know what was crazy She said she was like This is right up my alley Like I think she's a And she grew up playing La Cros

It seemed like it was more She seemed to be having more Than Devin Like anytime they cut to shots of them She's like beaming And Devin Looked like he was having that spot Well that's the thing

Like Devin is like It's the hardest workout of his life Because think about it Not only are you running But then you have to fashion yourself left You have to like look to your left And talk and keep on like you're on a date Being on a date is exhausting in its own right

Now you go to run during it What is this? What are we checking our cholesterol We're on the treadmill while they like Hook up things to our body Like check our heart rate I was like horrified by the whole thing I couldn't think of a date I would want less

but I actually I actually yeah it kind of made me think a little differently of Devin because I just assumed like Devin to me seemed like he just seems like and this is a complete assumption on my end but I was like okay this guy is going to be he's like a guy that's going to have like his guy friends that he's been friends with his whole life like

Yeah, they're going to be like drinking beer at a bar. Yeah, yeah, the four of them show up. But then it's like this like, yeah, like this random run club from, it seemed like, yeah, they were dressed like they were running in 2008. And I was like, yeah, it was. I wouldn't have, you know, and I would be the most fearful of opening myself up to being insulted. Because the minute they come over and she's like, you're in a run club. Like if I were Devin, they'd look at me and they'd be like, you run, you've ran every.

What? You run, like, I, the surprise in Jen would really make me feel horrible. Like, I, like, I, you, you've, you've ran once. We don't, really, you? Like, the amount of yous that I would have get, like, for presenting my run club, like, Devin, like, you know, especially, like, he's, you know, not the Army Ranger that Marcus is. Like, yeah. I would, I don't know.

It shows you Devin's confidence to bring her to a run club. What are your thoughts on his family? The family was great. His, I love the dynamic of, I always think it's just funny that you spend the whole season being like, my dad, not the best of guy. My dad running around. Tough dad. If I know where you're going, I feel the same way. And then the dad's there.

And you're like, he's good. Like, it's not like the dad, you don't know what he's going. to think of this. Like, the dad has to, like, own his past in a way that, like, I don't think a lot of people do that. Like, it's, it was just like. So, the way that it had been set up all season, the, anytime we hear about the dad, it's like my dad wasn't present and my dad wasn't around.

I'm not saying, I believe him, 100%. Like, I'm not, I'm not saying, like, I didn't believe the story. But, like, I was so taking, like, no part of me thought his dad would be present. Well, good for the dad. Like, yeah, good for the dad. My dad's, yeah, good for, like, honestly, good for him. Right. And, you know, it is funny.

He's like, I did think Devin's dad was going to, like, come dressed as Sam N in the leather jacket, like, smoking a cigarette next to a motorcycle outside. Like, what a, like, look at Jen. Yeah, she's hot. Like, he was like, like, the way he was described, I thought it was going to be like, but he was great. And then the stepdad was hilarious. He's like, the stepdad looked like the mascot for every stepdad. Like, he was like, his name was Todd. Like, I love Todd the stepdad.

Like, it's just like, he fit exactly how this dynamic. And then anytime you can get a grandma and grandpa on the show, I'm happy. I mean, they, you know, they tell the story of how they met. And you could tell, like, Devin's been the Bart Simpson, Devin, the menace of his family. Like, you know, everything was true. Like, the grandma was like, oh, you wore a G-string? Who could have thought? Like, you could tell, like, Devin is the character.

of the family. Devin the Menace. I never envisioned being with a woman. I'll just be honest. I'm Jamel Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcasts, Politics. On this week's episode, I'm joined by basketball legend, Candice Parker, who stops by to discuss her candid new book, The Can Do Mindset, in which she shares why she waited two years into marriage to come out.

Like when I close my eyes at night, every night. I was like, I need to find my prince charming. Like, it was never a princess. Like, that never entered into my mind. But, you know, as I learned, sometimes life gives you things wrapped in a package that you didn't expect it. And that was just, you know, and honestly, it took me a long time to be okay with myself. Make sure to listen to this week's episode of Spolitics on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear this.

Attention passengers. The pilot is having an emergency and we need someone, anyone, to land this plane. Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of air traffic control. And they're saying like, okay, pull this, do this, pull that, turn this. It's just... I can do it in my eyes closed. I'm Mani.

I'm Noah. This is Devin. And on our new show, No Such Thing, we get to the bottom of questions like these. Join us as we talk to the leading expert on overconfidence. Those who lack expertise lack the expertise they need to recognize that they lack expertise. And then, as we try the whole thing out for real. Wait, what? Oh, that's the run right.

I'm looking at this thing. Listen to No Such Thing on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, my name is Enya Umanzor. And I'm Drew Phillips.

Hometown, who's number two, Jeremy? Number two is Jeremy in Connecticut. And you know what, bold of them to put not Camp Crystal Lake? Because I don't know about you guys, but I had no idea what they were talking about. So I guess it's not the camp he went to growing up that he's mentioned many times? No, so I searched it up because I was like, that's so random. No one was wondering if it was Camp Crystal Lake.

and I guess it's like a Friday the 13th reference oh is that what it is yeah I didn't know what this was either it went right over my head I've never seen the movies but even if I had I don't know if I would have put it together yeah I guess like I don't know it was such an interesting choice for them to

I thought it was because he was Jewish and he kept bringing up his summer camp friends but maybe that was me making that joke and I was like I was like I thought that was like a producer who went to camp who was like happy that a guy went to camp was on the show. Like I saw and just as soon it was like I missed something.

Like maybe he talked a lot about a camp in a past episode. No, it was a it was a reference to Friday the 13th. And I guess like that's the camp that it takes place at in one of them. It did look like a murder scene that they walked up to.

I mean like it was very weird. And she made a joke like are we going on a date or you care to murder me. So it kind of a line. Yeah, yeah. I didn't really get that though. Okay.

But it was weird that they're like we're going to Stuart Leonard's, which is like a market that is in like Westchester and Connecticut, like, it's like a kind of like, had you heard of it? Yes, it's like a famous market. It's like people from that area like really, have you, Joe, do you know this place? No. This is like a known place that like people from that area like, you know, it's like Wawa and

sheets like the way people have this nostalgic thing. Like a cult classic for Connecticut. Right. And Westchester, I would say. So, but I didn't, I knew they had the characters and like, I mean, they reacted like they had never been to Disney World before. Like, the way they acted like, there's cows everywhere. Like, they really put it on. But I did enjoy the date and I loved that his aunt was there.

And it's like, of course your aunt is there. Your mom said your fucking aunt. Yeah, that's what I was going to ask. Do you think, do you think that she figured out that Bachelor role, up and they're filming in this grocery store a hundred percent yeah yeah yeah 100 and also we is the mom

and the aunt twins they looked a lot alike they looked identical to me yes yeah they looked very similar I I love the the aunt coming through like obviously the mom's like this is where they're gonna be make sure you're there around 12 o'clock

and like see what she's like you know like that was like the move yeah yeah I like that it was fun. I like that he was so surprised but like, you know, with my mom, whenever she's up to her hijinks, I'm never surprised.

Like, I would just be like, yeah, of course my aunt's going to be here and I'm going to have to deal with this. Keep an eye out. A family. Right, of course she's going to make my life harder in any way she can. You know, like I would, like I would assume that. And then, yeah. Were you shocked? We'll just jump to the end

because he goes home. Were you shocked he went home? Not really. Yeah. I, I, it kind of felt like well also it's so last second like he gets this great he has this great date two weeks ago and it was a great date but like it was a great second or third date it wasn't we should get engaged i mean like and him he was holding back so they go to his house and when they go to his house and the mom who looks like the mom looks like the face of michigas there's this thing

Like Mishigas is like Like I just imagine this mom's screaming This is Mishikas Like all the time She just looks like that It's like just always screaming Yiddish terms Like she just like had that Like vibe to her

Her name was Karen She looked like the mascot for Karen's Like it was just like perfect And you could tell the not buying it in her And Totally I thought it was so weird too That she basically said to Jen Like I don't know

you so I can't tell you if he's going to propose if he like where this is going to go because I just don't know you guys as a couple and then cut to Jen in her interview she's like she just doesn't know if Jeremy's ready for marriage I was like I'm pretty sure that's not what just happened at all but that's what we can go with that's what makes everyone feel more comfortable right she didn't buy it you could tell the mom just didn't buy it the sister didn't buy it I mean the sister I mean she was really grilling everyone including him which I enjoyed like And you could tell, Jeremy wasn't taking this as seriously as maybe the other guys were. Like, that was like the vibe of like, we'll figure it out.

Like, there was like, it didn't really feel like a guy who was, like, it felt like a guy who was like maybe will be Instagram official, not like, yeah. See, I think if you got to the end, he would have gone down on one knee. I think for sure he were proposed. Absolutely. I don't think so. I think first, I just think he's like, he's just really casual. Like, I could just see him being at the end being like, sure. all proposed like yeah like let's do it like i just think he gives really casual energy about the whole

thing which is something you don't see a lot serena what was it him that you were saying is definitely i could definitely see this guy getting engaged on paradise was it him yeah yeah and i stand by that i could be very wrong but i that's where my head's at right now with him with his jewish bro vocal fry i was thinking maybe we could get maybe i could get married and you don't have to convert I don't mind if you're a Buddhist that was this He doesn't have a vocal right

And then we have We'll touch on Jonathan's hometown Which I thought was pretty Pretty standard I mean they all the hometowns Were pretty Every hometown was very similar Yeah I mean his hometown

His dad kind of looked like a pastor He was in like the funny The khaki suit and though the best part of John's hometown is the brother whose wife and the sister-in-law the sister-in-law looks like a bachelor contestant she was fully like she was buying into it hardcore too well I was throwing off if your family John to me my brother's my brother's name is John

but to me John in John I know I know John is short for Jonathan but to me they are two different names and if your family's calling you John I would assume that you go around introducing yourself to people as John, not Jonathan. Well, it is weird to go by full name, talked about a nickname with the family. I agree. Usually families go longer. Really? You think that's weird? I mean, Joe, your family, like, you would never introduce yourself as Joey, but your entire family calls you Joey.

Joey. But Joey, but think about it. If I went around, I was like, if my family called me Joey and I'm like, I'm Joseph. Yeah. No, that would. A little formal. My brother tried to do that move. My brother's a Harry.

And then he goes to college and he's like, I'm Harrison. And my dad and I were like, what the fuck are you talking about? And he was like, and like all these girls in his freshman dorm were like, Harrison, Harrison, Harrison. We're like, why are they calling you Harrison? And that is his full name. But he's like, I made a change. Like he went like, he went into college. Like this is a brand decision that I'm making.

and I literally stopped him and I was like a year into the working world whatever and I was like you should go back to Harry there's because no one forgets a young Harry I was like you're making a bad decision you think this is a more formalized way to go about life and make yourself more serious you will be wrong

young Harry fun young Harrison easily forgotten that was my advice yeah but I feel like Harrison it sounds sexier than Harry right maybe not because Harry styles and yeah Harry Styles there's yeah there's some what does he go by today Harry oh he's back to Harry took the he took your advice yeah I didn't seriously wow I know I believe in this to this day like I've never had a nickname Jared is like I never I was like

what's the nickname and then recently I was at the comedy seller and there's a band at the village underground one of one of their stages is a band and the piano player is a friend of mine and he's red and one day he pulls me aside he goes you know my name's Jared too

and I was like wait a minute red was an option I could have been red free you don't want to be Brad I'd be a lot cooler

well Jared Jared's a good name though comedian red is like sexy hot you know musician

like I could have had a different life what am I doing I'm the here I could have it's never too late It's never too late. Change it now.

We'll start calling you red. Nighttime we're on the podcast. Please. So, no, but here's the thing about the, the sister-in-law doing the classic, tell you our extreme meeting story to normalize all meeting in extreme ways, which was really annoying. Like, she's like, we met on Tinder and two weeks later. We're moving in and having a baby. And I loved when she was telling it, John's brother just looked. the most miserable you've ever seen someone look.

Like, you could just see on his face, like, yeah, we probably moved a little too quick. And she's like, it worked for us. And you're like, did it? No, see, I liked her, but I found it interesting. Notice how he said nothing. Her and the husband slash Jonathan's brother felt like they were on very, they had very different strategies going into it.

Like, as a couple who comes in with, yeah, like they've moved fast. They have kind of a unique dating story. she's trying to bond with them over it. Like, they couldn't have taken a different approach to the situation. Like, she was all in and he couldn't have been less in. I totally agree. It felt like he was, like, sitting behind her being like, we move too quick. Don't do it.

Don't make the mistake that I made. I'm just trying to protect her. It's like, from what? You seem like you're in a happy, beautiful marriage. Well, I'm going to tell you, John's brother and that wife got in a fight in the car after that taping because she was all like, if we can do it, you can do it. And they're being like, I'm just trying to, I'm just trying to warn him. Like, maybe she was like, I'm going to, like, you know when someone's, like, you're both hungry.

Good cop, bad cop. Yeah, good cop, bad cop. Yeah. I, listen, I, I felt, you know, I, you know when you can feel an energy, I just looked at him and he, and he looked like a guy who was stuck. And I, and I, that guy looked like. Not decided to put the relationship on blast, but Jared has decided we're going to put it on. I want the footage of John's brother pulling him into another room going, dude, I got a mortgage now.

Three months ago, I was in Vegas, hooking up with broads, and now I'm got a kid on the way. Don't do this to yourself. You know, like that's what it felt like he was going to do. Jesus. He was very skeptical. Okay. I never envisioned being with a woman.

I'll just be honest. I'm Jamel Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcasts, Spolitics. On this week's episode, I'm joined by basketball legend Candice Parker, who stops by to discuss her candid new book, The Can Do Mindset, in which she shares why she waited two years into marriage to come out.

not least, Marcus's hometown thoughts. Heavy, heavy. I mean, Marcus's whole story. stories heavy yeah it's just yeah it can't be light he just seems like such like he's an american hero he got you know like he got you know injured in war he was a foster kid and his sister's there and their bonds so strong and then like the there was only one funny part of like it all was super serious and then you could see like marcus is fighting with giving in to like this whole thing

and like showing emotion like that's his big story um there was one guy that was like his army ranger friend who did the classic like wait till she meets this group and it's like you guys know from like doing events i know from doing like corporate shows are going to like doing like meeting people on the road everyone thinks their group is like wild and crazy who could handle us and they're all the same and when he went into that speech like really dude you think she's not going to be able to handle like a former army

ranger who was trained to be the most respectful wonderful person like I think we're going to be okay I just hate that like wait till you meet my family oh my family is oh my god my aunt Phyllis is just crazy and it's like have I met an aunt

who doesn't shut the fuck up before? Yeah I have okay not going to be a problem for me not going to be a problem hearing about how work is crazy. I'm not going to be an issue to hear you go. I went on a date and then like cool, cool story, bro. I can't stand that. I honestly, well said.

I totally agree with you. I totally agree with you for sure. You should meet our family. Oh my God, we have a crazy cousin who goes to college. Like what's not that cool. You know what I found interesting too is they usually show the whole front of the house, like a big zoom out image of the house and they did it with this one

and I only noticed because the front door looked really nice so I was like I wonder what this house looks like at first I was like is this a prison like when they showed it at first it looked very much like a county like space like it looked like a Knights of Columbus I I did notice the home

and I was like where is it like and then the room they were in was very much like you know like YMCA you know hangout run like a party room yeah it was given like a party room yeah it didn't have the vibe of like that's where I go watch

TGIF on a Saturday night you know like GIF wow that's that's a that's a wild that one was for you Joe thank you thank you all right red um before we let you go wait one more thing we have to talk about what did you think of them throwing all the guys together and having them

chat about their hometowns because I feel like we we rarely see that we rarely see the guys together outside of a rose ceremony Yeah, I thought that was weird too. And I actually, I really wanted them to break the fourth wall here and talk about how their family's experience was with like being on the show. But I mean, we were going to do that. I thought that would have been a good time.

Well, the four of them being together, like, I thought kind of was a breaking of the fourth wall because they start talking about like it didn't feel like they enjoyed it as much as they thought they were going to enjoy it. Like, they're like, we're boys, cheers, beers for the boys. and then you see them like kind of unraveling and I'm like yeah this does make if you really do like love this woman like we've been a part for long enough to kind of like believe you know you go back to being like on Tinder you know where you're like I'm the only one they're talking to you know I think it's easy to go back to that like delusion a little bit and I wouldn't you know delusion is a strong word but I wouldn't blame them for that so then the minute you're put back together and you're like we are friends but we're also four friends who are. still not dumped by the same woman. Like, I kind of felt for them. And then, like, it was funny.

Like, Jeremy's the only one that can joke about it because I believe Jeremy was the only one that really wasn't emotionally that far along. You know, like, you have Marcus, who's, like, questioning his own sanity for not being as in love as the other ones. Yeah, I want to say, I want to say, like... I think he's going to send himself home.

I felt for him, too. To the contestants that go on the show that are, like, that get down to the end, And then they're like, like, Mark is like, I can't, like, what is wrong with me? I don't want to be like, it's okay that you may not be fully in love with this woman right now. Like, it's okay. Like, that is a totally normal. But I will say, like, I could relate to him because I remember hometown week being like, looking around.

We did like a chat at the beginning of the week and being like, oh, I'm not where you guys are. And then you kind of start to internally be like, well, what's wrong with me? like why am I the outlier here why are they in a place that I'm not like it is kind of disorienting so I did feel for him I and also the guilt like you're being told by all

of your the women in your life go for it just say you love her so that you get her and then if Marcus is like not sure is he gonna like is he going to be the one that's in the way of someone who actually

wants you know like like I listen I in my own dating life. I have this moment where I'm like, I wish I knew if this was the temperature I should be. And then I'll cut things off because I'm like, I'm not at a temperature that I don't even know what that temperature feels like.

Like I have that in my own dating life where you go, I feel something for this person, but like, is this what it feels like? No one knows. And then it's like, well, if I'm not sure, I should just cut this off completely because I'm like who am I to take again, the

the phrase most women use don't waste my time. And I don't think any guy who's just a normal Jim or Joe is, wants to be the accused time waster. So, this is, this got a little deeper than I expected. I'm sorry to bring us there. I don't know. Sorry to ruin your Vegas boys trip, Joe. I know. I'm really, this isn't the conversation you're having at the win. You're probably like, I'll hit on a soft seven. Well, I'm married. in my voice right there No, I'm saying

You're not having deep conversations While there No, no deep conversations You're talking about action on the Patriots Under for season wins Just walking around I think that slot's gonna hit I think that one's gonna hit

You do the slots That's what you're doing You're a trainer who does slot machines I don't play slot machines Only once in a while What do you play? Roulette I love roulette

You play roulette And I hit Serena you're married to a roulette player But this trip This trip I wanted Playing blackjack But okay Jared Give me

Be a man, play craps I hate craps Jared Before we let you go Give me a prediction Who do you think Jen ends up with And who do you think the next person to go home is Who do you think goes home after fantasy suites?

I think after the fantasy suites John or Jonathan goes home I think she's going to propose a non-proposal I've been calling her fun Jen since the minute she came on the screen because she's all about fun she's tequila shots I don't think she wants to get married

I don't think she I think she's looking for someone to like have a serious boyfriend that respects her and she feels like valued by and I think that's enough of a win for her the idea that she is she says on this episode i've never introduced a guy to my parents and it's like to me that's too much too soon like for like let's i think they're got to walk before they run so i think it's going to end with her being like hey devon let's date and you can worship me and that's how i kind of i like because devon's going to worship the ground she walks out is that is that

is that your answer devon that's my answer i think devon i think devon she's already even said she loves him falling for him she didn't she said that earlier than anyone else yeah that's true i i think devon offers like everything she wants like a worship which she does you know like jen likes being liked and you can see that who amongst us doesn't but it feels like jen just likes the idea of someone's like into her and i think devon gives her that okay well all right well we'll we will see pretty shortly.
