The following podcast is a Dear Media production.
To choose both big and tall, no subject too small for the good guys. I'm on the stream, premium podcast team, make it your weekly routine, it's a good guys. And if you don't give us five stars, what are you nuts? What are you nuts? Yeah, we're the good guys, not the great guys, we're just the good and good of the good guys. Whoa.
Mons and Morans, welcome back to the Good Guys Podcast. The great Jared Freed is here, my favorite comedian. He's got a new special out on Netflix that he needs you to watch bad.
It's great to be here. You guys are real friends. I appreciate it. I'm in a time of need. I just need I need you to go just w 'cause I think anyone who listens let me go into sales mode,
then I'll shut the fuck up. I just need to set the stage. Jared wasn't supposed to come on today. It was just supposed to be a solo. I was driving here over the George Washington Bridge. I squinted up. I'm like, oh my God, is that Jared? Is he gonna jump? So we came down, he hopped in my car. We're gonna be okay. Thank
you. This has been a big two weeks of press for Jared. There's a point where you talk about yourself so much. And I and the the press really started with me coming in here. I really you really did pick me up off the street. I was just having coffee downstairs.
We did.
And I wasn't supposed to come on. You were like, Yeah, you'll get on to promote the special. And I was like, and then you're like, come up now and you'll do it again. I have not stopped talking about myself for literally three weeks. And people think, oh, if you like you if you talk about yourself, you like it. No, I don't like it. I just want people to go watch the special because if you're in for ten minutes, you're in for the whole hour. And if you listen to this show, you're going to love it and you should watch it with your parents and your brother and your sister and the cousin you smoke weed with during Hosh Hashanah. This is a Rosh Hashanah special. Yes, it is. For the whole family, for Gentiles and goys alike.
So you can all watch it and enjoy it. And it's a one-hour story about going to the beach with my parents. And my dad asked me how much I weighed in 2018. And I spent an hour talking about my body issues and my parents and their food. And it's a one-story show. So you gotta watch from the beginning to the end. And at the end, you can see my parents, I put hidden cameras. In the car, you can watch them and I'm just turned into a bad person. When you want some when you're pushing for something, I now hate myself. Like people will send me, like, 'cause there's a part about being on my parents' cell phone plan still. And so now people send me like a viral video about like a pilot yelling at his kid who's also a pilot, who's on the family plan.
And I'm like and the message is like directly to me and no messages before that about like, Hey, love the special I'm like, This wasn't fucking special. You're trying to connect with me. And I'm like, I don't wanna connect with you. I don't care about this v video that's doing better than my special. Go watch it. It's on Netflix. You have the account. It costs you zero. So you think that I'm a bad person.
So go watch it. Jared's very stressed. The double espresso isn't gonna help him. He's gonna be dead by the end of this episode. Can we get the residuals? If you if you die now. Yeah. Here. Yeah. I tried to resuscitate you. Okay. But this caught me kick you sideways. Got me gone gone. Who gets the proceeds? Because this thing's going to the moon. We get a little cut.
There's no proceeds. It's Netflix. Right.
Thank you. We
get you. There's nothing proceeds. Josh knows the industry. This is the thing. So it's over.
This it's over. I got paid a couple of years. And he probably
had to spend it all on the special. Thank you.
I no, I got paid. I made it for a hundred grand. Got paid, they they license it for two years, and they give you 220.
Right. That's the deal everybody gets. This is the twenty. That's number.
Unless they make it with you. They didn't make it with me. So I made it myself, then license it to them.
