Are you freezing to death? I'm freezing to death. The problem with New York City is that I have to keep a window open

while my heaters on. It's like the worst. Like I have no control over my heat. So it's like this like horrific like you know it's like you know it's a three bear situation. You know like too hot, too cold

just right but it's never just right especially when it gets freezing like this. I was like that in Chicago too. I had to buy a humidifier. to put humidity back into the air or your skin dries up your mouth your nose it's horrible why is it

well because I'm in these old buildings I live in the West Village in Manhattan it's old buildings and it's why New Yorkers are like crazy it's a different way to live oh that's what you oh wait a second that's what you're gonna hang is that my wife hat on are you kidding me absolutely

I think it is like you just because like it's it's funny Like my, I'm from outside of Boston like you, Kathy. I'm from Needham. So like I, you know, my mom and dad, they, you know, brought us up out in the suburbs outside of Boston. They live in Florida now. And it's like, they don't understand such a thing as tradeoffs. And I think living in New York is like, that's the definition of tradeoffs.

Like I was like, mom, I got a new apartment. She goes, does it have a parking space? I'm like, what? I'm in New York, mom. Wait, could I just take your, does it come with a butler? Does it come? You know, like, I have to, like, talk to her, like, she lives on the same planet as me. Like, it's horrible.

No, no, listen, that's my son, who's probably your age, just moved to Richmond, Virginia. And he was looking at Congress. First thing I said to him is, I don't want you parking out on the street. Do you have a parking spot? There's nothing wrong with that. That's it, but Richmond, Virginia, you could have a whole anchor of land, you know, Manhattan. She's like, but does it, does it come with a butler's pantry? Does it have a second kitchen for when you do the, do the Jewel's?

But when you really cook? Are you out of your fucking mind? Oh, come on, Jen. Do you cook? Come on. I do some cooking. I do some. I, I, I, it's not, it's, it's, it's heating more than cooking, but it's, um, I like, I like that is the microwave. Yeah, I have a microwave. You know, I don't have a microwave because I, because I, I, I'm such a nighttime eater,

uh, that I can't, that I was like, how about I just take away the microwave? So now, excuse me, do you have a jar of peanut butter and a knife? What does that mean? Well, I'm just saying, let's take away one of the options. So like, but it shows you how addicted to nighttime eating I am. Like I'm like heating up popcorn on a stove like I'm like, you know, traveling out west. Like I'm like Oregon Trail or some shit. They have little portable ones.

You could buy at Walmart. I don't even tell me about that, Susan. I don't want to hear it. Okay. Because I'll be. You got to eat your coffee up. I'm so bad. I'm eating toothpaste because I'm like, oh, it's candy.

You know, like it's just. You know what? We got to go to New York and visit. Now we got to help them out. Wait, I have, before we get into anything, we're going to move into a couple of things here. I just want you to know when you came to Austin and you didn't get me a ticket for your show.

I was pissed. I was pissed off, Jared. This is unbelievable to me. I would have gotten you anything you wanted, but like, I don't like, oh, Austin, let me, oh shit. Let me call Kathy. I just, I post every day with dates and you know what I do? Can I tell what I do, Jared?

I wake up in the morning and I say, let me go to Jared Free's website. That's the first thing I do in the Jared, how about Jared, when's the next time you're here? And I have the dates six months ahead. That's what I asked you. When? I did and you know what you said?

I would have had you, I would have sent a car. I would have brought all your boyfriends. The doorman. A different boyfriend every show. You find him had a parking space. With the driver of had a parking space. Yes, I would have had it all set up. When are you coming to Philadelphia?

When are you coming to Austin? I want to know. So do you guys want to know? Okay. So I'll probably be back at both of those cities in the fall. I'm working on a new hour. I just taped a special in December. I'm trying to like, so you tape a special and then the next morning you wake up with no material.

So like because you want to have, you want to basically have a new hour that you can tour once the new special comes out. So like I'm like out of my mind trying to work on the special. So I've done the show in so many cities that like I don't want to like bomb, you know, everywhere I go. So I'm literally going to New Zealand tomorrow. I am going to New Zealand and Australia. Wait a second, I've never been. Would you like me? I'll catch your, I'll, I'll, I'll, we will accompany you. You're in. I mean, I'll, I'll listen. And we could give you some great storylines. I would love that. I want you to, so I'm going to New Zealand tomorrow. It's my 40th birthday tomorrow and I'll be on a flight.

You are my son's age. That's right. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Thank you so much. So wait, that makes you a Pisces, correct? I'm a Pisces. I am as well. Are you? Are you? Okay, good. I like this. Two goldfish and a tank. Perfect. That's right. Forgetting five seconds. Exactly.

How long are you gone for, Jared? Three weeks. So it's no, this isn't any sort of like nothing trip. This is like a, so basically I. Is it a eat, pray, love trip? I don't know what it is. It's not an eat trip. He can't take a microwave with him.

Right. Well, it'll definitely be an eat, you know, hopefully I meet a woman I can go down on. But I just like, I had to wake Kathy up. I know. It took her a second. Did you notice? Oh, no. I was, I was actually deciding which of these many questions I was going to torment you with. Ask away. I, you know, I'm going. I feel, I feel weird about it. Like, I'm going, I'm 40. I'm never married, no kids. I remember being. What's wrong with you? Is that a red flag? What's, what are you, Dave from Love is Blind? That's, that's, that's his opening. I went out with somebody and Kathy said it's a red flag.

I said he's never married a kid. Oh, that's a red flag. Or maybe has good taste. Maybe you're the, you know, you're the fine wine that he's been waiting for. You know, I don't know. I mean, I'm going to say to a guy, but when a woman's never married a 40, everyone's like, oh, my God, good for you. Jared, do you want to get married? I do.

You know, I, does she have to be Jewish? Yeah. I think she's got to be Jewish just because... Leslie's available. Do you go 30 some years older? Kathy's available. Okay. Listen, the Jewish thing is more like a...

It's me getting things out of the way. It's like to me I feel the Jewish thing is like a shortcut. Like I don't have to explain summer camp. I don't have to explain pretty years over. I don't explain my mom. Right. And then like I know Susan's going to go, no, but Italians just like Jews, but only Italians say that. Jews never say that.

Right, so we go, yeah, sure, and we just go along with it. Might you say, they compare themselves to me every day. I said, sure, sure, sure. I'll go along. You make the brisk, and I'll do everything else. So wait, how do you do it? Like, I was going to ask you, like, what's the quickest way for a first date to score a second date? But I got to get you the first date.

It's hard. I'm very distracted as far as, like, busy, you know, busy, but that's an excuse. I do understand that's an excuse. Like, you know, I think men generally have this like weird. Actually, you know, you can look at it as romantic. I do think a lot of men and I have this. Oh, man, you are twisted. You are twisted.

I'm a PR agent for men. I've been doing this for over a decade. I've been the spokesman for the straight male dater for over a decade, okay? And no one else will talk about it about me because I'm the only one who knows how to talk about it in a positive way. I'm listening. I'm saying. I think a lot of men do this thing where they're like, someone it's it's out of coming of age movies like that coming of age movie with this like

oh my god this woman that's perfect tailor made for me shows up out of nowhere and convinces me to go into this thing called delusion that's called marriage so like you know and I think that's this delusional idea that I'm going to be happy forever with one person and that's how men kind of look at it's like whoever said that who's saying that his mother's talking about his mother Well, then you are delusional if you think you're going to be happy forever. Well, I'd like to be like less unhappy than I would be with the next person. Do you understand if you don't put your socks in the hamper, the marriage is over? Have you not learned these things yet?

I'm one hamper away from being done. You have to rinse the tooth paste spit out of the sink. If you leave your spit in the sink, you're out. Yeah, but if I get hungry, I'll lick it up. I told you. Holy smokes. I just, you know, and so I do think this can be looked at as romantic because like if a guy is like going after you, you are like, whoa, he has been like totally diluted into thinking like I don't want to be alone. I don't want to be not be bothered.

I don't want to have to worry about a stock being in the hamper. So that is like I do have that delusion. But I'm like I do want to see the next episode of life. I feel like I'm living in reruns. I'm Jemail Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcasts, Politics. And on the latest episode of Politics, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries

joins me for a candid conversation about the state of the Democratic Party. What do Republicans say to you privately that they won't say publicly? Many of them are in fear of their political lives, and that's been part of the challenge. But we continue to say to them, you were elected to defend your constituent.

to stand up for your constituents and there's life after Congress and you should be willing to actually want to be able to look back on your time in the House of Representatives knowing that you can keep your head held high because you did the right thing. Donald Trump is gone in three and a half years, but their legacy or their failure to stand up to the extremism and the unprecedented assault on America as we know it will be with them Forever.

My name is Ed Everyone say hello Ed From a very rural background myself My dad is a farmer And my mom is a cousin So like it's not like What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club

I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke But that really was my reality Nine years ago I just normally do straight stand up but this is a bit different. On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear. On 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house.

So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? A new podcast called Wisecrack, where stand-up comedy and murder takes a stage. Available now. Listen to Wisecrack on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A foot washed up a shoe with some bones in it. They had no idea who it was. Most everything was burned up pretty good from the fire that not a whole lot was salvageable. These are the coldest of cold cases, but everything is about to change. Every case that is a cold case that has DNA right now and about.

backlog will be identified in our lifetime. A small lab in Texas is cracking the code on DNA. Using new scientific tools, they're finding clues in evidence so tiny you might just miss it. He never thought he was going to get caught. And I just looked at my computer screen. I was just like, ah, gotcha. On America's Crime Lab, we'll learn about victims and survivors. And you'll meet the team behind the scenes at Othrum, the Houston Lab that takes on the most hopeless cases.

to finally solve the unsolvable. Listen to America's Crime Lab on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What would you do if one bad decision forced you to choose between a maximum security prison or the most brutal boot camp designed to be hell on earth?

Unfortunately for Mark Lombardo, this was the choice he faced. He said, you are a number, a New York State number, and we own you. Shock incarceration, also known as boot camps, are short-term, highly regimented correctional programs that mimic military basic training. These programs aimed to provide a shock of prison life, emphasizing strict discipline, physical training, hard labor, and rehabilitation programs. Mark had one chance to complete this program and had no idea of the hell awaiting him the next six months. The first night was so overwhelming.

and you don't know who's next to you and we didn't know what to expect in the morning nobody tells you anything listen to shock incarceration on the iHeartRadio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts do you want kids I think I'd be a better person

I think I'd be good at that I think I'd be fun at that we had on the U-Up podcast we had a like a tarot card reader on and she said something that I really do. Oh, well, that's factual.

That, trust everything. Listen, I'm looking to the stars, Kathy. I'm 40. I've never had marriage. You know, so I got to look at the moon and see what the moon tells me. You're playing with Ouija boards, tarot cards. And you wonder why you've never been married. How much time do you have?

Now, I'm a total believer, Kat. Let him talk. You have one woman on this show. She'll tell you she burned sage to try and figure out what her apartment's screwed up. So, like, I'm telling you. That's a longer story, Jared. Listen, I'm a straight guy in a woman's world That's like everything I end up, end up doing is that

So like I'm at Betches like, you know, we have this tower She brings stones. I'm like, I keep an open mind, okay? I've had this stone up my ass for a week. Mine's on my window still in the bedroom getting light. Put it up your ass, Susan. Love's coming, love is coming. That's too big to go up your ass, Kathy.

If that can fit up your ass, I'll go fucking crazy. Is this on YouTube? Kathy just pulled up a fucking meteorite. It looked like a heart. It's her heart. It's a heart. It was a heart. You better lube that, Kathy.

Loob that good. This tarot card reader came on and she was like, she was like you're going to be the most full version of yourself once you've got married and like started that version. I do believe that. Like I didn't, it took a tarot. It took a witch to tell me. Well, it took a witch for me to like, listen.

Okay, I got it. Do you know what she looks like? you know how you have to put it out there to the universe. We had another ESP woman draw a picture of my future wife. She's going to be curly hair, Jewish. She might be a bleached blonde, but originally she had curly dark hair. Come on. Kathy, it's so funny.

You say that because the picture they showed, I go, she's not Jewish. This isn't her like this. Like it was like some like, you know, she looked like she came from Utah. Like it was like, no, they're saying. She was a morning. Wait, I want to know, how did you get into comedy? Because actually, I mean, the fact that I got you. you to spit your coke out a little bit,

makes me think I have a future in comedy. So let's go. Hit the open mics. There's a lot going on in Austin. You and Joe Rogan. You can go out there with your conspiracy theories and, you know, yell about the vaccines or some shit.

Wait, wait a ton of them in Philadelphia. I'll bring you downtown. We'll hit one if you are. You have in Philadelphia, a great club. Philadelphia's a great comedy town. Austin's a great comedy town as well.

But I was 25. I was selling life insurance and annuities because like in New York only because like I graduated the econ major and I was like I'll move to New York because there's like there's there's hustle and women in New York that's that was my thing like I was like there's hustle and women but no parking spaces and no parking no cars yeah that's why I got a hustle you're going to run everywhere so I I so I was like I'll move to New York and like I kind of like sat down at this you know I'm cold calling I'm like out of college trying to figure shit out and the best part of my day was writing funny email. to friends was like ball busting with my friends so like I I was like how to and my dad and I like we would talk on the phone and like my you know my family like everyone's entrepreneurs everyone's like business people everyone everyone was like sales I call I always say we were we're salesmen Jews we're not like um we're not clothing doctor Jews we're not lawyer Jews we're not clothing bag Jews no no we are sales I come from salesmen Jews so like these are dumb Jews who can sell

so I my dad and I when we talk on the phone we're talking about like TV, you know, like my dad's seen every sitcom ever that's ever been made. So, like, we talk about, like, last night's TV. We're not talking about the markets. Like, that's not of interest to me. So I was like, so I was like, I'm, right. So maybe your mother, Jared, your mother wasn't, you got to grow up and be a doctor. You got to go to be a lawyer.

No, you didn't hear that. That's a big part of the story, Kathy. I have my theories on that because I told my parents, I was like, I was like, I'm going to, like, treat this like grad school. I'm going to like, like, my dad was like, you're not married, you got money. you know you got savings go do it like this is an investment so like he he saw it as like you're starting starting a business which is a little ridiculous from him do what you love that is good advice and he was always in family businesses so I think he was like do it do whatever you're

going to do so like that was my dad's perspective my mom and you're right Kathy I think moms it's my opinion that you just want people to think that you did a good job and No, Jared, you're wrong. I want to be able to go to the country club and say, my son who's a lawyer, my daughter who's a position. That's what I'm talking about. That's my whole point. So when you say my son's a doctor,

no one asks any other questions. They don't go, they go, done. You did good job. A plus. What type of doctor? No, they say, is he married? Because they have a daughter. They have a daughter.

I know the drill. I know the drill. That is, Kathy did a good job. her son, I want my daughter to marry Kathy's son, even though I've never met the guy fucking once. So, so with my mom, she's, my mom, like, when I told her I was going to do this, she's like, it was like, how do I sell this? You know, like, she's like, what do I call you?

Yeah, what do I say you do? You're 25. What am I going to say? You're fucking, you know, clown. But I'll never forget it. I was like, so she never was like, she was just like kind of. like she was supportive but not in and I remember I did a show

in at a casino in Connecticut at Foxwoods I'm at Foxwoods in Connecticut you've been so I'm I'm on stage and I'm bombing my face off at any time I did Foxwoods my parents would come down from Boston because it was an hour away so they're watching

what's your dad's name Jerry Jerry what's your mother stop I want to hear the story leave please because I'm telling you Kim's Lee you're going Jerry Jerry do they have a parking spot Look at our son. So I go, I'm bombing so hard, not one laugh.

And then suddenly my mom is screaming laughing at how badly it's going. And I literally look at the crowd and I go, hey, this is how bad this is going. The only one laughing is my mom. So the whole crowd looks over and she's on like a like a tall seat, like a bar seat. And they all start laughing that she's the only one laughing. And like, I don't know what that was. It just, from that on, she was just like, she was like into it and, like, thinks I should be, can't believe, like, can't believe I'm not the biggest. And, like, now her friends, like, all her friends are going to listen to this show.

Like, all her friends, they live in a community in Boca. Like, they are like, my whole show. Single, single guys. Single guys. Boca. Is there single guys there? For me. I need your mother's number.

Oh, yeah. I need your mother's number. Kathy, I'm telling you, like. We're coming down to play. You're going to buy. Hey, Kim, get the guests from ready. I'm coming. You got a whole pool house. That's why when you guys did your show, like, I was a pretty positive. I was a proponent of it, if I remember correctly. And then, like, I was so excited. And I was proven correct. And I, not to pat my own back, but I was like, but go ahead. I know these women going on this show. Like, I know them. They're my mom's sort of. I hang out with them. Like, I like going to my parents' house. I have martinis with my parents' friends. We do talk about their dating life. they're single. When you guys came on TV and I was like, listen, if anything, this is going to be

the greatest ad for someone to go message them on Facebook that they've ever had in their entire life. And I was right. And that's why we love the show. No, you're wrong, Jared. You are wrong. The men, the Facebook thing. The men don't go. They don't go on social media. Women have balls. Women reach out. I know. Well, the other problem with men is that we don't think we have to work on our dating life. We don't have that time. Well, Jordan, Jordan was at my show last night. He came to my show from the Golden Bachelorette. Oh, did you get him a ticket? Do you get him a ticket?

Yeah, of course I did. Of course you did. Oh, he reached out like a human being and said, what should, you know, let me go into the show. I didn't reach out to him. I didn't go to his door, knock on it. Can I perform in your living room? Okay, moving along, I want to know how you got into Bachelor. I mean, seriously, how did you get him?

I'll tell you the story. I, my brother and I live together. I have a younger brother. He's four years younger. he moved to New York when I was already living there and we were like let's get an apartment together so I do stand up every night

I've been doing stand up every night for almost 15 years I started at Open Bikes in New York and then worked my way through the whole kind of system and now I'm going to New Zealand Australia it is like it is who I am as a person as much as I'm Jewish I'm a comedian so

through that it's a grueling thing like people think stand up because if you're good and you make it look easy it's a it's grueling because at best you can get like a new working minute every week. Yeah. And that's if you're

going on stage a lot. So like I'm going on stage. Every night is a lot. Every night. I did three shows last night. So like, and they're 15 minutes sets in the city, but like then I'm going to go on the road. I do an hour on stage. I'll do two hours in a night. So while I'm working towards that, you know, I just

got in at the comedy seller, which is the greatest comedy club in the world. Congratulations. Thank you. This was like, you know, eight years ago, whatever it was. When you stop with the PR selling, I asked you how you got into The Bachelor. Just say him. I'll get to it, Kathy. I like a little workout.

Listen, I like Forklis. This is an hour show. It's an hour show. Had that stone up her ass. She's ready to go. It's all about Foreplay, yeah. So one night I got sick. I was like sick and I had to take the night off.

She's got a little smaller one. I don't think you can handle that either. Yeah, that's a big one. So I, I, I, I, I, I, I had to take the night off. I had worked, I was sick. And so it's my brother and I literally sitting on the couch shirtless watching TV together. And he and The Bachelor, I'm watching. I love dating shows.

I've loved reality shows my whole life. I've seen every reality show. And I was like, started tweeting about it. And I had a little following, but the tweets were like going crazy. So I was like, I'll just tweet the rest of the episode. And like they were getting this like traction. So I was like, I like to make fun of things that don't matter. This is like my perfect wheelhouse.

So then I started taking nights off from standup to about The Bachelor and everyone at the comedies are. These are like older comedians. They're all like, what the fuck is wrong with you? You take it like they couldn't believe. I was like, no. And then I started doing Instagram comes out with stories. And I'm like, I was doing this thing called dudes watching rom-coms where I was making fun

of romantic comedies on my Instagram stories. So I was like, why don't I like combine the two? I'll make fun of the show while it's going. on live and it was like I had my own TV show every Monday night and now I'm yelling at the show and like honestly the people at the seller like the sellers like my home they were like

look at this loser he's making fun and then slowly like a year goes by and like girls are coming up going hey I just want to say how big a fan I am and they're all sitting there like what the fuck from The Bachelor? Like they couldn't believe it and to me like I only make fun

with love I'm not looking to make anyone like I'm not looking to like attacking anybody. I'm Jemail Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcasts, Politics. And on the latest episode of Politics, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries joins me for a candid

constituents to stand up for your constituents and there's life after congress and you should be willing to actually want to be able to look back on your time in the house of representatives knowing that you can keep your head held high because you did the right thing. Donald Trump is gone in three and a half years but their legacy or their failure to stand up to the extremism and the unprecedented assault on America as we know it will be with them forever.

What would you do if one bad decision forced you to choose between a maximum security prison or the most brutal boot camp designed to be hell on earth? Unfortunately for Mark Lombardo, this was the choice he faced. He said, you are a number, a New York state number, and we own you. Shock incarceration, also known as boot camps, are short-term.

highly regimented correctional programs that mimic military basic training. These programs aimed to provide a shock of prison life, emphasizing strict discipline, physical training, hard labor, and rehabilitation programs. Mark had one chance to complete this program and had no idea of the hell awaiting him the next six months. The first night was so overwhelming and you don't know who's next to you. And we didn't know what to expect in the morning. Nobody tells you anything. to shock incarceration on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your

podcasts. My name is Ed. Everyone say, hello, Ed. Hello, Ed. I'm from a very rural background myself. My dad is a farmer, and my mom is a cousin. So, like, it's not, like... What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club?

I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine years ago. I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different. On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear. Well, 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house. So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? A new podcast called Wisecrack, where stand-up comedy and murder takes center stage.

now listen to wisecrack on the iHeart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts so were you live when the golden was on yes i was doing the whole season i did and then tictock like that you know you find just different avenues for this like it's just wild that what i love doing it so like i love that i get to be fun and stupid and play full like I get in costumes like it's like it's stupid it's just like stupid fun and I think like you know what gets lost in comedy and like you know my stand up is about my family it's about like I'm not up there to like make anyone angry I'm not I don't think that I'm being pulling away from subjects but the subjects I enjoy talking about are personal stories about my life that someone

can go that is how I feel too and with the bachelor they can relate they can relate they can relate Like whenever I go to the make fun of the bachelor, like with you guys, I could always relate you to how my mom would be. And it's like whenever I say like, this is not how my mom would act. And now I can do a bit about my mom. Like that's like the most fun thing. You should see me in the audience with Sebastian menascott. I'm like, yeah, yeah, the Sankan, the Edamins. I got it.

I got it. Sebastian's like the best at that. He paints a picture better than anyone else. You know, like any paint. And it's like that's my family. Yeah. Absolutely. Okay.

So what was the, who did you like on our season? And what did you like a, you know, who is the best? What, give me some humor. I love the zip it I loved. That was priceless. Susan, I love that you were like the mother hen. I love that, Kathy, I understood your plight. Like, I understood.

And I felt like you and Teresa were just two different mothers in the same PTA. Like, and it was like two different mothering styles. And I could see why it was like oil and water. She was the secretary. Right. This was, this is, you were definitely the president. You were definitely like, you know, and I could feel that. And I just liked the whole, I just liked, you know what I liked about it?

And I think what The Bachelor needs, I like reality in my reality TV. And you guys were real. And I think more relatable to the everyday dater. Like, and again, like I'm, as I said in the beginning, like I'm kind of like tasked with being this straight man in a woman's world. So my audience, I hear from women. And the U.S. podcast is a dating podcast, mostly listened to by women. So, like, I know that for all these women that listen to our show, they're, like, very successful. They're, like, killing it and everything else.

And they have this one issue called dating, you know, and they're like, how did I not figure this out? And I think The Bachelor, where it infuriates people is that they're like 30 men in their 20s are just screaming to get married. Fuck off. I don't see that at all. What else could they do with us, Goldens? They got to think of something else. Guys, well, this is what I want. I think The Bachelorette, like the fix of that show is to have it be a 35-year-old woman

who's like never married, no kids, great career, lawyer, CEO, whatever that may be, someone like aspirational. And they need the men to be in their 40s. Like I think that would like, and that's a show that like. Why can't it be a 40-year-old woman with a 30-year-old guy? It can be. It can be that way, too. But I'm just saying as far as like- Excluding us.

Hello. I'm talking about this stage. We're not getting rid of the goldens. We're not getting rid of the goal. I'm saying that's what the, you know, like the relatability factor. I'm like, you know, and again, like, why can't it be younger? Well, I'm just trying to play the numbers. In the same way, I only date Jews because I'm like, I'm like playing the odds that we're

going to like hit it off more so than maybe someone, not to say I couldn't. I'm just saying these are the odds, you know. I mean, you're just saying, you know, he's just saying he doesn't eat spaghetti every Monday night. That's all he's saying. Who said it was Monday? Kathy, it's Sunday gravy, honey. Yeah, Sunday gravy.

My dad puts ketchup on a spaghetti, so that's like horrifying to sue. Okay, I have a question, Jared, when you're, a couple of things here. When, how do you not be funny all the time? Like, what do you do to come down if you are? Is there a serious side? Yeah. I people, this is the hard part about like, like, like, you know, anyone can cut me out at the knees and be like, why aren't you being funny?

Like, I don't, I'm actually like more reserved than people would assume. Like I don't walk in a Yeah I don't walk in a room People think I'm wild and crazy And you are Susan I just spent two weeks in you And say Martin she is

Wild and crazy Here's the other thing I want to tell you guys Can I give you a rose or two You guys doing Your facelifts on social media What awesome You look amazing But I

I I Because my mom did it Like that And that is like One of those things I like What a mitzv

you did for other women that are like, should I do this? And they all wrote in. Explain the Susan what a mitzvah is. She doesn't know, Jared. I get it. It's like giving someone some old pasta out of the goodness. It's like saying it's okay.

I'm doing it. It's a good deed. It's a good deed. You did a good deed, I think. Yeah. So we also got crucified for doing it as well. You know that. But that's the horrible thing about social media is like you're not doing anything

unless there's someone angry. Yeah. And the crucifers. like that comes from a place of like hurt and and awfulness their own issues yeah right it it is funny like you it sucks i mean like the social media and like that's for me like i i would love to have been more mainstream just to not have to deal with so i have friends that like you know we're cast and things and they're like their their instagram means you know it's fun for them and like for me you know the instagram runs on the fossil fuel of anger

You know, so it's like, I can't believe you haven't said that. What do you think? And I'm the most, the least, I'm the least, you know, inflammatory person in the world on there. So. I want to know what you say. If you were at the woman, you're not funny all the time, right? I know. That's why he's never with a woman.

That's right. You don't know how to shut at all. Right. I don't know. In the middle of an orgasm, he's going to say something funny. I'd kill him. No, was that a fart or you, no, I don't know. I can turn it off.

I just, it's, it's hard because I don't, I'm not like looking to be, I don't know. I don't think I'm funny at all. You're just you. Right. Oh, well, I need you to be serious for a second because I have an important. So you know, you know, you've met the Bachelors, you know. If there were to be a golden or a paradise, golden paradise, who would you match Susan? I'm not sweating in Mexico.

I'm telling you right now. I thought Bachelor and Boka would have been great. If they do one, if they do one, who would you match us up with, anybody? I don't know who I would. I think they should do like Bachelor in Paradise style. Yeah, but I want to all these guys. Yeah, let's bring in some new, some new dudes. Yeah.

I'm always trying to shake someone down for a date. I have a question for you.

What's the quickest way for a first date to score a second date with you? Um, I don't know. What would make you want a second date? Here's the thing. A good first date is good improv. It's not good stand-up. A bad first date is someone doing stand-up for someone else. A good first date is two people.

I have no, I have no freaking clue what you just said. Could you translate? So a bad first date is me performing for someone else. A good first date is me performing with someone. So I want someone that we can go back and forth and we're talking about nothing. That's us. We'd make a great first day. Let's have a threesome.

Susan. I'm going to give you a little more friend from tonight, Manajotwa. Here we got. Susan, we're in. Kathy, we'll meet you. We're kind of come to your house. We're flying in. In Philly, when you perform. in Philly, Kathy and I are going to come up
