I don't want to bring it up because maybe someone's like, yeah, I got the, this is. Here's the thing. When someone doesn't book me on something, I'm like, wait a minute, how could you not want me? So I must have done something that I don't know about. Wait, when you mean somebody, do you mean, like, like, like a fellow podcaster do you mean like at the late night show podcast oh okay okay more podcaster because it's because i know how easy it is to come on my show not that booking

you isn't like a big deal to me but i'm saying like when someone asks i go yeah come on you got you got something coming up yeah no and you're so i was going to tell you like you said thank you so many times when you came on mine no because i'm really appreciative you're so cute you don't understand i was actually going to start the are we started we started yeah i change. Be nicer now. I could be nicer. Okay, I should make eye contact now. I wasn't making eye contact before. You know who didn't make eye contact with me?

What? Someone came on my pod once and didn't make eye contact with me. And they weren't a Kardashian. Right. You've had a Kardashian on, I just want to congratulate you. Thank you. And also remember what you were going to say. See, this is how I know that we're like immediate friends. Because we pop around conversations in ways that I do with like old friends. I need to catch up.

We did a podcast in your apartment, and I was like immediately liked you, was like, I think we're friends right away. Like I knew, I feel like I knew you before I knew you. Right. In a way. And then I see a Kardashian on your podcast. Like, is this where she sat? Like, I just want to make sure I'd sop up all the Kardashian luck.

I want to touch. I know. I regret not smelling them more. I should have come home and been like Kim smells like Musk. Corny smells like bananas. Like I wish I knew. I should have like. I should have like.

nift them up and I didn't smells are really important. Hey, come here. How creepy would that be? Yeah, you're the one podcast we'll do. Can I smell you? We're going to cancel. That's like at a wedding. They tell you like, make sure you remember the day. Like, you know, take a snapshot. You know, like you're saying that about meeting a Kardashian. Did you have to change the studio at all? Like, is this? Dave, they don't fucking come here. I went to Calabasas. You went to the home? I'm rubbing myself on this couch to try to get their luck. I have a never. Netflix special coming out. I need all the Kardashian I can get. First of all, that's fucking huge. Speaking of huge for you. Huge for you. Huge for me. Is that kind of sending? Huge for us.

But do you know, do you know that I want to talk about also what you said the last time we did a pod together where I was like, I'll come support? I hate support. I hate when people say, wait, do you now want people to support your Netflix special? I want people, I want an exchange of goods for services. You know, I am giving out jokes and I want you to laugh. Yeah. I don't want someone, when someone says I'm here to support, that is them saying, I'm doing you a big fucking favor by showing up here. And I did other things I'd rather do. Yeah.

You know, to me, I'm like, there's a comedy special on Netflix. Watch it. If you liked it so much, share. Let up someone know, hey, I saw this guy on Netflix. It's right there for you. It's entertainment. There's not a lot on TV right now. Like, you can tune in any time.

And I guess I do want people to like, I don't know. That's a stupid thing. I shouldn't say that. Like, yeah, help me. Please help me. Well, what I love, what I love about the way this happened because as like cute and funny as we are. As we are. And.

I'm afraid to work because I'm going to get an angle on the camera where I'm looking fat as fuck. Well, here's the thing, though. What I mean by that is like, their personalities on social media where you're like, they're trying very hard for this, right? And I feel like you come. across as maybe you're not trying that hard. Oh, really? Yeah.

See, this is so funny because I was thinking about your social media. As also like that? As like, I'm like, it's hard to be likable on social media where all you do is social media. Yeah. And what you're saying is actually a compliment. I take it that way because I thought of you. I was like, I like watching your mom stuff.

Like, I like you with your kid. I think you're bringing up a very city kid. Mm-hmm. Like, this kid will be like, you don't like la calom? Like, your kid is going to reference coffee shop. I know, like 10. I know. It's funny.

That's actually so funny. My older sister is raising a little bit of more of a nerd. Okay. Like Noah's not hers. It's like, we love it. The whole lot we play chess. And she sent me like, do you want to go see this show? Like, she sent me like the hungry caterpillar.

And I called my younger sister. And I was like, Noah's not going to like care about like a woman holding a puppet. Like whole rod. He'd rather see like off Broadway. You know, he'd rather see like Titanic. Like or like he's not. gonna watch this woman holding a fucking fake caterpillar at three he is like he knows he's like he's city kid yeah three in the city is like 18 yeah yeah that's what when i see your kid it's like he's gonna be

the kid at camp that's like the city kid yeah like hopefully not with like drugs you know we that's the hard I think that's probably the hard thing the hard thing is that like you know he's like can I go somewhere and you're like yeah just take a cab or Uber and that's like such a city kid thing like in the suburbs yeah like my biggest problem at 14 was like, how do I get to the movies? Wait, where'd you grew up with Long Island? Outside of Boston. Oh, right.

From Needham. You're so Boston. Why did I Long Island you? That's anti-Semitism. Oh. I get that all the time. Where did Jews live? Where did Jews live? Long Island.

Ever heard of it? They do? Don't know but outside. Have you ever met somebody from Long Island refusing to say they're from Long Island? It's my bit. It is. You just touched a fucking nerve. Outside.

Just a little outside. It's like 20 minutes outside. The immediate defense. I'm from Long Island, but not like, you know. You know, it's like still New York. Right. But it is New York. Queens, they call it Queens.

Go fuck yourself. You're from Long Island, own it. Yeah. Have more pride. How about when someone says they live in Kipps Bay instead of Murray Hill? That's the same thing. Kipps Bay, grammar, you know, people, I'm on the outskirts. Oh, show me those city limits.

Show me the map. You know, like, what do you work for the town? Yeah. It is so annoying. Just be, like, I'm okay. Okay, being who I am. I think when you go in a stand-up, it's really hard because people think stand-up, like you can only come from squalor if you're going to be a stand-up comedian.

You can only hate your family. You've got to have this tragic past. I have no tragedy. I love my family. I like hanging out with them. And like, I tell stories about my life and it's hopefully relatable to you. It was funny. You posted about your family.

Like, why do I call them? I don't know why I call them. It ruins, it's a day ruiner. I talk about my parents on stage a lot. In the special, I talk about Jewish women specifically and how they're the best complainers. And there's a whole bit about it. But now I'm telling a whole story like during my life. I have a whole new hour from the special, which is like, so if someone comes to a lot, sees me on Netflix.

They're like, I want to go see this guy. You'll see a whole new special. A whole new hour of material. On YouTube. No, no, no. Come to a show. Pay for a ticket. Support me.

Oh. Wait, so out now. Out now. Well, no, if it's past August 15th, it's out. Okay, you can search Jared free, 37 and single. That's what it's called. Well, we're hoping it's going to fucking chart and it's going to be right there when you open it.

That's the thing that people, like, I want it to flow through everything. Like, I want like, oh, I found Jared on Netflix. Now I'm listening to Amanda on her podcast. Like, that's how this whole thing kind of goes. Yeah. Rise all tide. So, like, that's why I was like, when someone says no to, like, that's why I'm so thankful. Did you get a no?

I've gotten. From people don't answer. Oh. People that I know kind of like, oh, we can't, we have a guest that week. Yeah. And it's like, and you'll do it with me next week? So if you thought somebody was like an industry friend and you get the no or you get the scene don't answer, you get the, I didn't open your message yet. Yeah, fuck you.

We can't switch anyone. Will you write that person off or are you like, this is business? I'd have them again or whatever. Mentally, I will write them off. Yeah. I'm as like when you were like I wrote thank you so many times I truly mean it like it's like you know again I made the special with my own money I remember when you were working on it right you we were gonna you were gonna come to shows and we were trying to figure out and then

I made it and then went to the you know the market everyone said no and I was like literally gonna put it on YouTube and again do DIY do it yourself and then Netflix was like became a yes at some point and it's wild now it's on there and you have instant credibility like as a comedian like again i probably said this to you before like to a lot of people there's no such thing as like a middle class stand up there's like Seinfeld and then everyone's a loser yeah so like you know to my parents my parents friends what what what what you know they sound like much of birds what what what everyone in boca that that was my parents telling people what Netflix because like you know what if you got on like quibby you'd be happy you know right i just you got on

Roku, you'd be happy. But you got fucking Netflix. Right. I just want people to come to my live shows. Like I really just, because I love doing stand-ups. Really? I love it. That's all I care about.

And the material I'm doing now, like that post that you saw where I'm talking about, like, calling my parents, like, why do I do this to myself? It's all about going away with my parents on vacation. It's one story, but then I use the story to, like, talk about all these other things. And I don't know. I'm like, you know, it takes a long time to feel yourself on stage. I'm starting, like, and I love what I put out there. It's called 37 and single because it's a snapshot of my life at December 20, 22.

I'm 37, I'm single. My friends are 37. They've got kids. I'm trying to, like, go out with people. I'm getting annoyed with the process. I'm getting annoyed with my body. Like, you know, not skinny but not fat. When we first talked about, we talked about like that thing of like people being like,

I'm a big fat fuck too. And you're like, well, I'm not that. you know like but I also like have body issues you know like and and you know what I love about you and this is on a more serious note I love that you normalize I hate that word sorry male body issues because it's so common for women to be like self deprecating about their body or concerned or talking about it and if a guy is you know overweight then like he does he must not care or if a guy doesn't have a six whack he might and you talk talk about it like openly about your guys care how they look and feel.

Like the idea that we don't is crazy. I told you, I walked in here. I was like, I drank like an animal last night. And I wore a pink shirt and I'm going to see my fucking tits. And I'm going to be like, oh my God, I have to share this now. You know, I'm even looking at my face on the screen. I'm like, Jared, why would you drink five martinis? Like, what's wrong with you?

Do you feel like it affects your face? Oh, my God. If I go off of booze for a week. You look hotter? Absolutely. I get comments from people. Like, I go to a coffee shop. I love this coffee shop

Blackstone it's on the corner Hudson and Christopher I love it there it's a dad and two sons and they're like all good guys like they're just like you know the dad's like

hey cousin hey baby girl hey you hey this he's talking to everyone they know everyone's orders like it's like one of those like places that you like never want to go away in New York

and I'll walk in there and they're like then face like they're like ooh looking good yeah people and I and I know it I'm like yeah

I haven't drank in three days yeah because And I think women generally get annoyed with, like, their boyfriends or something because they're like, he's like, oh, I won't have dessert. And he like loses 30 pounds. Yeah, yeah. Like that kind of does happen with me. Yeah. I can feel it.

And my parents, my dad would be like, so you're not drinking, huh? I'm like, what? He's like, I can see your face. No, that's a thing. Like, I drink like an animal. Martini's. Like, that's what I'm in right now. You're in the martini?

Love a dirty martini. Like a vodka? Yes. Huh. Bodka kind of grosses me out, you know? You are so. funny. Why? You ask questions. I said this before we started. You ask questions that are judgments. You do the same thing. Vodka? That was a judge. And I knew the next thing was, I think vodka is disgusting.

So how did we start talking about it? Because you go, are the cameras closer? That wasn't a question. You knew they were closer. And you go, because I do the same. I said you, I do the same thing. We're like making out with the cameras. Like you can't see. It is a lot. It is very close. But so we, so when I said that, you were like, that's such a Jewish complaining. thing. Right. We ask questions and our judgments. Because is that like passive aggressive? I don't think it is Because I don't see myself that way. No, no.

I don't see you that way either. I just think it's what we do. Like, so I told you I don't know, do we tape us? The avocado? So I get this guacamole. So I get a guacamole at Sohoas. Okay. Listen, talk about, is this podcast called Unrelatable? So I get this. That's a good podcast name.

Good, it's got to exist. You think? Search it. Okay. I get chips and guack at a member's only facility that only the elites can get into. What is it? Oh, I was not kidding. Oh, there's no unrelatable.

So I get the chips and guac, they come out, and it's a three-ounce mound of guac. And I go, that's a portion for one. And I actually thought to myself, if I had to share that, I'm not happy. Yeah. Not happy. So then I go to dip into it,

and it's hard. The pit is in the guac. and you and I'm going and in my mind I'm like you've just taken up a third of this bowl yeah with pit what they thought it was like an aesthetic so I go I sent it to a friend and I was like I'm going to say something and I did the same thing as you did with the cameras I go I go excuse me is this how you guys do it here with the pitta yeah like because in your mind you thought it might be a mistake I thought I'll give them the mistakes she goes, no, it's to keep it fresh.

And she goes, the pit in keeps it green. Or you can put lime juice or lemon juice. I'm not sure which one. And I go, well, wouldn't the lime or lemon juice be a better idea? Because that could give me more guac for my $30 guack and chips that I got. And she goes, oh, and we kind of laugh about it. And then I posted online and like you and I, we see the comments on everything and get annoyed by them. Like you, you hear back and you go, and we have to like, chew on it. And people

are like, no, it's to keep it fresh. It's to keep it fresh, you idiot. How can you not keep it fresh? You're offensive to my grandma who does the, and I'm like, hold on, hold on. Can we live in the real world in what universe? Because then I think about things. I'm not, I'm not like a lasher outer. I like take it in and I think I'm the idiot. And then I get, when I realize I'm not the idiot, I'm now go time. You're pissed. Yeah. Because I'm not. I'm I'm like, in what world does it take me so long to eat guac that it browns over? I'm going to eat this in 30 seconds, the whole thing. Yeah.

I, you ever see, if you saw me eat popcorn at the movies, you'd be like, this person needs to be caged on a leash. Like, you'd be like, you're disgusting. Yeah. I put some in my little lap right there so that I don't eat it. And then I eat it out of my fucking groin later in the movie. No, but it's so true. It's like great idea for your fridge when you keep the other half of the avocado. or something.

This is fucking Soho House. It's not a Ziploc bag that you got from Walmart that you're bringing to the neighborhood barbecue. What are you talking about to keep it fresh? So then a food scientist writes back to me, it doesn't keep it fresh. It's an old wives tale.

I. So she then brings out more guac and she goes, I just, and I'm like, this is a bullshit excuse. And it's like, because I just want the full amount. Yeah. like that's how my family eats we want just more do you know what my husband asks at restaurants

I've gotten him to stop but it's also a family thing they'll ask like and it's in hebrew so I'm translating this but it's like he'll basically ask like how big is it is it big is it going make me full basically like yeah like he wants to know that it's not some like tiny right it's like he would love a restaurant that has pictures next to it like a Denny's like do you I love when they're like, it's 14 ounce. Like, then he was like, I'm good. I'm good. You guys know how much I love JLo and how much she loves me.

Remember, she complimented my green suit matching my eyes? Of course you remember, because I won't let you forget it. I also recently got to talk to her about her newly launched Delola Spritz. She told me all about how she was never a big drinker because she could never find anything on the market that reflected the way she likes to drink. So she decided to create it herself. Okay, boss, babe. She wanted to craft something that was delicious, easy to drink, made with natural ingredients, sparkling, was lower in alcohol, lower in calories, and gluten-free.

So she launched Delola. Do you know Lola is her nickname? Now you know, Delola is delicious, world-crafted cocktail made with premium spirits and natural botanicals. It's ready to enjoy. All you have to do is pour it over ice and sit back. Sip the sunshine, you guys. Feel the summer. Feel like J-Lo.

amazing though. Here's my favorite thing about Delola. It's made with real alcohol and it tells you what the alcohol is. Like the Paloma Rosa Sprits, it's made with tequila. The Bella Berries Sprits made with vodka. Larange made with Amaro. I need that kind of thing. Okay. I'm not in high school. Don't, I mean, college, high school is not drinking age. I hate when like, you know, pre-packaged alcohol says alcohol. Tell me what I'm drinking. Thank God for Delola. You guys, it's so easy. It's all in the bottle, pour over ice, enjoy, no need for mixing. So anyway, you guys, you should check it out.

and everyone is the promo you have to like say this no because it's scary it was too much for me the marketing the outfits the pink the Barbie the like but we all and people are like did you not play with bar and I was like I think I played with Barbies I don't think I was like obsessed it's just like you know what it is first of all I it's funny you like start with this like I think she's amazing I think because it's become like politicized yeah which is even crazy like you don't like Barbie you're sexist

right and and I'm like I'm sure I'm sure it's good I'm sure they're funny jokes I'm sure they fucking crush men and it's hilarious like I think that all things can be true I'm sure that some dude with a fucking small dick is like how could they do this? Well Bill Maher was pissed I fuck off I mean like it's a fucking movie

that's meant to have fun and make jokes good good for all of us I do think these things become accepted by the internet and I think with the Barbie thing where it's like it was accepted before it came out like if it was shit it would be it doesn't matter and but we

we know the things that are allowed on the internet and what is not allowed on the internet and then this becomes such a thing that's allowed by the internet that what annoys me is the people that make it their whole personality like when people speak in internet things

so you're like oh you don't you don't have a personality at all You're just like, you've just taken over, like, 10 memes and created a human. You know, like, again, like, the conversation we're having right now, it's like, I'm sure it's good. And I'm also sure that it's overrated. It's a little over at this point. We've gotten to a point of ridiculous. So, you know what?

Now that you say that, I think I was more annoyed by that than the Barbie outfits and the pink and Margot Robbie and the promo. Because I think I was more annoyed of this, like, because I feel like in our society, Obviously, we know about cancel culture and tearing people down. But there's also the other side of it is that we build people up and things up way too fucking much. I, this is kind of what scares me. It's so, but don't worry. You're not too built.

Chill, you're good. No one gives a fuck about you, Jared. No, it would be funny if we were like worried, like, we're so scared. Like, no, we're not that built up. Well, I, right. I talk about canceling in the special, but not. like in a, I'm not like mad at cancel culture. Like, I don't think canceling even exists.

I feel like it's guy I'm better. There's no can back. Everyone makes more money after they're canceled somehow. Yeah. It's like, I don't know. Like, I don't know. The whole idea of canceling to me is like bullshit. Here's what it is.

I think like also like we, I think what we have to come to realize is like people just like saying shit. Yeah. And like there's not a lot behind it. Like I've had people on the podcast and older generations you can tell they're like obsessed with it. it because they've never heard negativity or like you know like my parents have never heard someone go yeah you're not that fucking great yeah you know and we have yeah live in a social world and

we are putting ourselves out there so you know i i just think like you have to go oh yeah you fucking hate my shit that's that's okay but like i think it's funny because i think there's a natural reaction to i love someone is someone else to go well i fucking hate that person like there's like like I walked into a restaurant the other night I will not forget this I've I'm on a date I walk in a blind date no an app date no

a date date we walk in together I'm at Emmett's on Grove have you been great spot they have stairs that go down it's a sunken bar from where you walk in I walk up open the door this woman goes

Jared Freed Oh my God Like that's how loud she was And I go And I'm immediate thing My first thought is I like tense up I'm like okay

I gotta be This is very This is a compliment And also it looks good In front of this girl now Or no It's okay I don't know

Like I feel back Because I like You kind of have to like Face smush The girl you're with Excuse like Whatever she's talking about Goodbye

Yeah So I can take care of this So I hope she understands And I'm like I'm just like saying hello and then I'm like I you know I don't want to ignore the person I'm with it's a whole thing it's socially it's there's some people that if they're put in that scenario they're like I would just leave you know like but I always think of when someone goes oh my god Jared there's a

guy like me in the corner of the barby like who the fuck's that guy fuck him you know what I mean and that only happens when you scream I love Barbie someone has to come out and there's all these people, especially on the internet, they have to take their hot take. Hot take. And if you hear, oh my God, Barbie's the best thing that's ever happened for women and for, what? I'm the guy. Well, I don't think you are. I think you're taking a nuanced take.

No, because I'll tell you what, I do, even if I'm not the guy, I'm secretly that guy, because I don't know, like when the Vanderpump rules shit was happening. And I love Ariana. I almost wanted to be like, I'm Team Zandabal! Just because, again, they built it up so fucking. much. Right. They wanted Ariana to go to the mecala.

They wanted to date Pete Davidson. Right. Right. They're putting her up here. And it's like, she's even like, chill out. Let me make my brand deal money. Right. I'm like, so. She's fine.

That's the thing. Like in that whole thing, you watch, I watch, you know, I'm just taking notice. I'm not a Vanderpump fan, but I knew the characters that play and I'm involved in that universe, so to speak, like with like the podcast that I do. And I was like, yeah, she doesn't seem like a fun girlfriend. Like. Like this is it like I'm like I'm not saying he's great like every video of him at a State Fair performing is like the biggest car wreck that I can't look away from like I have to

watch everything about it yeah but I was watching this I'm like I'm not saying this is reason to like cheat on your her with her best friend on TV but you go yeah you guys probably should have broke like this isn't our like who we look to for it just got a little out of hand it always does I was so mad I I was, and then people were like, team Mariana. I was like, what other team is there? Team cheating asshole? Right.

You know, it just became, it just became too crazy where they want him off the show for cheating. We talked about this a little bit when I first, when we first met, it was like the Tyler Cameron thing. Where it's like, oh, he's a god. He's a god, but it's like all he said was like. You did say stuff in our first podcast that I feel like as much as you don't read so you're, you know, not that smart. You do have this like, you have these like moments. of pop culture that stayed with me. Well,

like the Tyler Cameron thing was such an observation about life and about the way and you said it before this, I mean, the air, did you see the air movie

with Matt Damon? And he said the bill, people love to tear them down thing. People have been saying it a lot, but that's part of what you said. Right. Like you made Tyler Cameron a fucking God.

Right. Because he's hot and he didn't like with Hannah Brown. Right. And he didn't. Hannah Brown literally looked at him. If we look back in time. She was like, I would like to sleep with you, but I don't need to sleep with you.

And he went, no problem. Totally get it. And now he's a feminist icon. And I was like, how does just doing like the right thing? The right thing. And I think what we do is all we get on the internet. And that's where now, it's not TV. There's no nuance. It's not the movie. All you get is either war hero coming home and hugging their kid, taking off the mascot hat to hug their kid you're like this is the most beautiful moment i've ever seen or tom sandoval disgusting piece of shit you know so like you're like what category do i put this person in yeah you know and then people get thrown into war hero and thrown into tom sandoval when they're like just fine yeah you know like that's look at this is helen musk this is a guy people are like people i'm like

you're a fan of a billionaire like you see these men online that are like never say a war I did a fuck marry kill on another podcast, and I was like, I'm not going to fucking, I was like, I'll kill Elon. And like, people were like, there were, and I hate the word people. Yeah. There was two dudes who have never fucked. Yeah. They were mad about it. That are like his fan.

And you're like, I don't even understand that. Like, well, how about he's just a billionaire that you like some of his stuff? I thought everybody hates him. I don't know. I don't even know. I, yeah, right? I'm on the bandwagon. Right.

I don't know. And I do that too. I do the people, people are asking, people are mad, it's hard to avoid. Everyone wants to know. Right. You know what they say? You know what I read an article title? That they say 10,000 followers feels the same as 10 million.

So the feeling that you get from. It's kind of true. Right. So it's like, you know, as far as this people are mad thing, you know, you go, oh, that makes some sense. Like that's why you see like moms with like a thousand followers being like, I know a lot of you have been asking about my outfit choices. And you're like, oh, you, you've, we're all crazy.

I enjoy our conversation. I hope the people listening enjoy it as much as I love coming on your show and you coming on my, but what I would say is we are the most self-conscious generation. Yeah. The minute we heard middle part is in, women were like, flip, what? You know, switch their hair around. Millennials, we are so self-conscious. Yeah.

We want everyone to, because we, we want everyone to think that our decision was the right decision. Yeah. Like, look at Austin, Texas. People move there, and they're like, please tell me I made the right choice with my life. And you're like, I don't give the fuck. I'm not your dad. Wait, why Austin? Everyone's moving there.

Everyone moved there. And then you can see the vibe in Austin from people around our age is like this, like, I did the right thing, right? And you're like, dude, good for you. Like, I don't know what to tell you. But like, I think that plays into it. No, but don't you think, Derek, that as much as we're a generation of, how'd you call it? We're very self-conscious.

Okay, I also think that we're a generation of, like, if somebody made fun of what I do, but not of me, I would probably laugh at it. If someone made fun of, like, all these podcasters out here thinking they're, you know, the late night show, I would be like, you know what I mean? I wouldn't be like, we have to start and start. Like, I don't know. I just feel like I'm happy if you're not, if you're not feeling that in stand up. I don't. So in stand up, I don't because here's, again, this brings me back to like being. anxious and nervous

about the special coming out because I lose control when you're in a room full of people I love how you say a rum yeah that's a Boston thing when you're not Long Island what not Jewish Long Island Jewville you're not from Jewville

someone told me once that I looked like I was from Long Island that's like hilariously Jewish like that's like hilarious way to say you're Jew Hello good morning Have you switched to now Deodorant yet. If not, excuse me, the year 2003 called It Wants You to Join

You Guys, it's time to switch to natural deodorant. It's time to switch to each and every. It's my go-to natural deodorant and also I love their body wash and you're going to love it too. They have amazing scents. Lavender and lemon, coconut and lime, my personal favorite, rose and vanilla. I love anything with vanilla. Does that mean I'm vanilla? It means I'm sweet. Okay. And I love that. I love how the body wash feels so great. It's like a spa day. Every time I take a shower, it leaves no residue. But I also love applying the silky smooth deodorant because not all natural

deodorant is created equal. A lot of natural deodorant either comes on rough. Like for me, it's important for it to feel like a smooth glide, but also keep me smelling fresh because you don't know who I'm going to meet. Who's going to be on the pot, you know? I got to smell good. So do what I did. Make the switch to each and every your body.

and the planet will thank you. You guys, it's time to switch to natural deodorant. It's time to switch to each and every.

So she becomes kind of a signal to the rest of the audience. She's on stage as much as the comedians. Yeah. When you're at a stand-up show, you kind of like, you see that one person who's miserable up front. You're like, hey, look at that person. And then you're like, am I stupid for laughing? Why isn't this person laughing?

What's going on? So I'm last in the show, which is a gift in itself. Because I go up last and I'm like, I can kind of see what the current in the room is like. And I see her and I go on stage to do my first joke. And it gets a laugh. And this woman in the front has a great. laugh and I and I love the big laughers like I because I think that encourages everyone else to

have fun and I go you missed I love your laugh because you have to get again this is me when this is the thing about what you're saying because I have my hand on the wheel when I'm on doing stand up and I'm in that room I know I'm in control like of everything so I say to her so I say when I hear her good laugh I got to give the compliment because I need people to know that I'm a positive guy yeah yeah I'm not here to judge someone I don't want to be mean anyone. I don't want to make it about, I don't, I think I'm better at this than most are. I like to give myself that comment. So I go, you have a fantastic laugh. I love your laugh. Everything you're doing is great. And then I turn to the miserable woman and I go,

you could learn something from her. The crowd explodes. Because they, because they've been watching her. Because she's right next to the stage. I'm going to show you, she's literally facing out. Oh, okay, okay. Gotcha. So like she's next to the comedians and they're just seeing joke and then bomb with her and I look at her I go you could learn something from her the whole crowd who have been what I nailed it sometimes you spring oil yeah everyone dies you can see in the clip you can hear the crowd explode yeah and I go I've been watching you all show yeah are you okay like do you know like this and she goes I'm Polish English is my second language and it like everyone dies in the room now it's like so funny because now everyone who's been watching this

woman that everyone it's a beautiful thing i'm getting chills thinking about it because it's the most magical part of stand up is when a whole room has the same thought wow we thought she was miserable she just doesn't speak english yeah and it's totally funny and and she wasn't laughing at any of my interaction with her she wasn't like i don't speak it she was just like no i don't fucking understand what's going on here and so i go so i did like six minutes of just like what at one point i even said i'm like you know what we should do tonight like imitating them like we should go to a comedy show and sit up front and look annoyed and I even say like the other comedians are out in the back I should someone let them know not to kill themselves now like they're like you know they're having

a bad day because they're like I can't they probably got in their head this woman wouldn't laugh and this is all to say that when I'm in a stand-up show magical things can happen amazing things can happen but I also I walk away I know if I won or I lost I know what everyone in that room belt. You can feel it. I can feel it. And if it goes, if I bomb, it keeps me up for a week because I go, everyone in that room thinks I'm a fucking loser. Yeah. The internet, the minute you put out a special, you just, you lose the walls, you know, like, and it goes out there. And a joke that you felt in the room, someone comes along and goes, you don't think people should try? And you go, no, I was in the room. I think we were making fun of a very specific

type of faux influencer. Yeah. And then it goes online and you go, I didn't even think of that angle. Like, you know, and then it becomes, you know, you make a joke about one thing. They go, you think, but my grandmother was an influencer with no likes and she died of no light disease. And she couldn't get tested for it because she didn't have enough money. And the Kardashians have enough money to have a whole MRI, check them for no like, no likeitis. You know what I mean? Speaking of likes, what's your hot take on removing likes? I think it's bullshit.

I need to know what will feed my ego. What will tell me whether I had a good day or a bad day? But I don't, okay. They're going to get rid of likes? Well, you can. No, no, no, no, no. I want to know if I want to lost. I want to know.

Oh, my God. I'm okay with likes. I'm okay. I don't know. I want every... Okay, another question. Okay. Some random questions before we go.

I'm so happy you had this water. I am so hung over. You don't understand. So who would you want to be more? Gracie, Selena Gomez's 10-year-old sister that gets to ride this world with her. Okay. She has a 10-year-old sister? Yeah.

Selena Gomez is so fucking hot. She is like... She's your like... That's my... Really? now my new type, like, not my new type, but like, I just see her and, like, she's like curvy. She's like a woman.

Oh my God. That's my, that's why. I love curvy women. Did you see her nipple? What are you giving me my masturbation schedule for later night? What do you mean her nipple? What? She posted this clip of her on this boat.

I saw that this is the boat, but I didn't see a nipple. So there was. And I looked at that clip. There was. Areola. So in my mind, I go, if this was a friend, I'd be like, baby, your are Ariola delete. But in my mind, I was like, she's going to notice. I saw it in like the first like two minutes. She didn't delete. It was up for the whole 24 hours. Obviously, out of respect, I wouldn't like repost it. But it was there. So I wanted to know if I thought. So would

you rather be Gracie Selena Gomez's 10 year old sister that she takes to like all the fun things? Love it. Or Harper 7. Who are these people? You are in a world. Like I get like the, the shrapnel of this world. Right. I know like Tom Sanibal and I watch those. But you are so deep. Yeah. That it's like. No, my people know though.

Or Harper 7. Okay. My people. My people want to know. Yeah. Or Harper 7, the youngest daughter of the Beckham's who also lives, you know, this life. So I have thought about this a lot, actually. The fact that you can just receive followers tax free.

Well, it's not followers. No, no, no. No, no. But we live in the. follower economy you know more people listen more money for ads okay let's be real okay there are celebrity kids now and this was always kind of the case but now it's like it's it's fascinating to me that a celebrity child can just be bequeathed a million followers and and they now have a pension yeah that they can make money that they wouldn't consider a million i saw that eva filippe these names you know names that i

These could be fake names. I don't know who you're talking about. Ava Felipe is the daughter of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Felipe. Oh my God. They're married. They had a kid? First of all, who are, take your pop culture, you know, on your resume away. So she has one million.

This is what I'm talking about. She was bequeathed. That's what I'm talking about. Like, there's passed down tax laws, okay? Yeah. you know my parents can't just give me you know their boca house can we be mad can we be mad about that it's it is well that's the where you talk about the nepo baby thing right you know like i'm not into like i i grew up a very charmed life like i'm not saying i had two power wheels come on

things were good yeah i'm not here to like cry poor i'm just saying it is fascinating to me that like we get mad at certain people for having money in you know or and we don't these celebrity kids that are just given a following for being celebrity kid. Yeah. So now they could start literally can just put a promo code. They're going to make up money forever. That's kind of why I think Prince Harry and Megan left. They couldn't have left in any other generation. This generation, they knew there's a pile of money that they can just get for being them. Yeah. Why would they ever do anything anyone else tells them to do? So I kind of understand them being like I understand them right so I'm like and I'm sure they're like peace guys

I'm out of here and these kids get like a million followers and you go and they can and I don't know I think it would be hard for that generation or those kids to like to look at someone go like when someone will be like you're a nepo baby they'd be like well I have my own business I started as you know I have an ascot company what are you talking about I promoted I started when I was 12 and then this debate of like self-made billionaire, you go, I don't know, like, and so, and where we live in the follower economy, we have to admit to that. So like, it is interesting. I don't know. I don't know how you would tax that. So you didn't decide between Harper 7 and. Oh, no, I'm going to take Selena's sister. Just because you have the hots for Selena. A little weird as her sister

to be like, I think you're hot, but I don't know. No, but I think there's less pressure on me when it's the sister of. Yeah. Like, I think when it's the parents of, I'd rather like, I'd rather, like, I'd I'd rather hang with my sister. Lots of pressure on Brooklyn Beckham. I mean, he's trying to live up to it, you know? I mean, all that, it's stuff I don't really envy. Yeah, like I. Yeah.

So I'd rather be the sister. Brooklyn, Beckham, trying to be a chef, like, you know, trying to be a married couple. Do you don't know Brooklyn? I know them just from. Who's Brooklyn married to? Brooklyn's married now? I'm like the aunt. That's how old Brooklyn is?

No, I thought Brooklyn Beckham was still a baby. He's not a baby. How old is he? Like 20-something, married to? Nicola celebrating anniversary after anniversary. Go listen to Jared Freed's podcast on pop culture. No, I don't do. No, I know, I know, I know.

No, but these names. For some reason, I assume that you know pop culture. I know it is. I know it more than everyone's listening's boyfriend does. That's not saying a lot. I mean, that gives you some pointers on dates now. Oh, absolutely. Yeah.

Well, no, the fact that I watch The Bachelor, like I know that world. How's that going for you, though? It's good. My numbers have gone down. I still yell at the Bachelor. love yelling at the bachelor because it's my own show you know like when people are like this weird thing of like I don't watch anymore hey and I'm like that's not my problem I like making fun of the show and my show's a different show than the show is even like you could watch

my stories without knowing the show right it's just me having fun with the show and and I just don't know another show that I could do it operationally because like they the arc of the show is easy for me I can do every Monday it's beginning middle and end there's an off season like the Golden Bachelor would be fantastic. And here's the other thing. It's so boring that you can scream and not miss anything. You don't miss anything. I can like zoom in on shit.

It's pretty, this season's pretty boring. It's shorter, which I like, yeah, I wish there was, people would tell me to do Love Island and I'm like,

it's 80,000 episodes. No, no, you can. You can't do that. I have to do, I have to work on my stand-up. Like I,

you know, I, so, but I do have a level of knowledge, but it's really, I mean, the names you were saying are, fucking hilarious.

Like, it's so much. My people know. Okay, everybody, Jared Freed, always a fucking pleasure. I support you. You do support me. I'll come to support. I'll come to support. And everyone support Jared.

Just go on Netflix. Go on Netflix. This is fucking huge. One of our people has a special on Netflix. I didn't mean Jewish people. I meant one of the people that I feel like we came up together. That's, in a weird way. That doesn't, you know, that doesn't get said in podcasting a lot.

Like, it gets said in stand up. Like, who'd you come up with? Yeah. but I do believe that like when I again when you had the Kardashians I was like holy fuck I was like we did it we did it Joe we're from the one bedroom kitchen table right what is your husband think he loves it loves it yeah he thinks it's crazy he thinks it's crazy he literally just says like crazy and I'm like sometimes use another word you know and I'm like I could just tape you and just say to me I'll be like babe do you know the bubble I'll be like

it's crazy that's all yeah and I'll just be like I'll just be like I'll just be like I'm I can just voice note it and just play it, have this huge thing happen to me, and just have him be like, crazy. But it's good. I like that he stays like not that excited. It keeps you humble.

I am humbo as fuck. Humbo. Are you going to be humble after you blow up on Netflix? Absolutely not. I am never speaking to any of these eons again. You're waiting for that August 15th. August 15th. It's going in the bio,

Netflix special and it ain't coming off. Can't come off. Goes on the resume. I mean, Listen, let me, let me plug it for the listeners, okay? It comes out August 15th. The first, let it run for two minutes because they told me that's what counts as a play. Oh, wow.

Someone told me. Again, I'm hearing rumors and whatnot. The opening is about dating and being on dating apps, being 37 and single. The middle is about breakups. It's about gender reveal parties. The gender reveal party bit kills everywhere I go. It's just people love it. And then I get into body issues and like,

eating so like and talking about nighttime eating which is like my biggest struggle yeah and oh there's some stuff about you know millennial getting canceled by gen z like i don't think that's fair that's like my one thing it's not like me being like these kids today i don't think so but i think it's very good and the feedback already has been like even before it comes out like i'm getting messages from people being like i work at Netflix and i saw an early thing i loved it and then yeah so it's like it's very exciting my and here's my other thing yeah at the i i put you have to watch to the end or just skip to the end in the credits i think i put i did thank you a big song and dancer i put hidden cameras in the green room yeah to tape my parents so it's my parents they still
