Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
Good morning, girlies, it's the toast. It's Jackson, Claude, and we're your host. It's your favorite show, the fast five things you need to know. We'll start your day off swirly. It's The Toast. I sound amazing. Welcome back to The Toast and happy Thursday. I am joined by somebody who's been on The Toast before, who was highly requested and kind of does give energy of my husband.
It's Jared Freed. Hey, Jared.
What a beautiful compliment. I'm so happy to be here. Thank you for having me back.
Thank you for dressing up. Let's talk about your outfit today.
So I listened to the Bethany Frankel episode and you were like, thank you for dressing up. And then I thought back to my last appearance with Jackie and I'm in a cut sleeve shirt.
What's a cut sleeve shirt?
Remind me. Like no sleeves, like a Delray.
Did you have your arms out?
Arms out. I looked like a total Florida man. And my mom, I got done with it. My mom goes, listen, let me just say, the toast community.

Chapter 2: How does Jared Freed feel about his previous appearances on The Toast?
It's huge. In love. The mishpucha here is crazy. Love them. I was at the airport. I'm at PBI yesterday. A girl comes up to me. She goes, are you here for the toast?
Oh, my God, I love that girl.
She was amazing. I go, I actually am. I flew back early so that I could be on with you. And so then I was like, I was like, I got to get dressed up. I got to look. I got to bring Bethany energy here.
I dress down for you. Let me tell you why. Because you're a podcaster. Podcasters know it's like a cozy. Whenever somebody comes on and they're not a podcaster, like I knew Bethany was going to show up in a dress and heels. So I like leveled up a little bit.
You're so right.
So then I wore my leggings and my cardigan today because I'm like, it's Jared. He hosts two podcasts.
I know. I never shut the fuck up. Yeah. No, I listen. But then I left this show last time and like, listen, the Southeast Florida people were talking. And my mom goes, look what you wore. You look sloppy. Are you kidding me? You don't shave. You have a beard. Like, you know, you get that review from mom. That's devastating. And moms use the words that like... Heavy, you look heavy.
The word heavy is like tattooed to my memory. It makes me shiver.
It's almost worse than fat.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of using the term 'heavy' versus 'fat'?
And I'm not going to lie. I wasn't expecting much, you know, someone you're like, Oh yeah. And standup is just like very particular too.
I love, I am a standup comedian. That's who I am. So I love doing, I'm on the road right now. I'm doing a tour. So thank you. I appreciate it. Everyone. I'm Fort Lauderdale. Come to my show. I would,
I would love that. Let me ask you a question. I'm being so Bethany right now. Your internet career, your stand-up career, how do they match up revenue-wise? I'm just like nosy.
I guess to me it's all the thing. I don't really divide it that way. I think it's somewhat even. They're both doing mediocre. I need more of both. Right, right, of course. So whatever Bethany is saying no to, I'll take those other things. The power of no. I'm all about the power of yes and more, more, more.
The power of what I can get.
Yeah, the power of please let me keep doing this. Please, I'm desperate. I need you. I need Jews to start going to my shows more.
Is that your demographic mostly?
No, I kind of say that because I think we all kind of have to have our people when it comes to like, you know, the people, the toast community, whenever I meet them, I go, that's a toaster. You know, like you know them. And then when you see someone outside of that community, I'm also like... incredibly someone that I wouldn't recognize in my show. I'm like, I love it.
I'm like so excited that you get it, you're into it. You know, when I do my standup, like my last show that I taped, it was basically an episode of Seinfeld. And so the whole thing connected, the end connected to the beginning. And it was all about going to the beach with my family. And I tell this story and it went from a two minute story to an hour story.

Chapter 4: How has Jared's experience with his parents influenced his comedy?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then SNL, has that ever been like a goal of yours?
I think it's passed me by. You know, when you get out and start doing open mics, you start to hear like so-and-so got an audition. Like they kind of pluck you.
Right, and you never got plucked.
Never got plucked.
Was it like a big dream of yours?
It was never like on my dream like growing up. I didn't like look out at the moon at night and push upon it. Please, please, Lorne Michaels.
No, because for some comics, that's the end all, be all.
It's a total, I have friends on the show that I love, respect, think are amazing. If that had happened for me, that would have been amazing. I had to take a different road. And again, when you talk about the internet stuff, the internet for me, when I was doing it, it was an act of survival. Right. Like, okay, no one's booking me. No one cares about me.
No one thinks I have an opinion that's interesting. Mm-hmm. All right, let's do a podcast. Let's write. Let's make jokes. Let's do TikTok. Let's do Twitter. Let's do Instagram. Let's yell at The Bachelor. Like the things I do are stupid. They're all survival.

Chapter 5: What insecurities does Eddie Murphy's experience reveal?
We're on the same page.
Yeah, nothing can hurt me.
Eddie Murphy. What am I trying to, what am I pursuing if Eddie Murphy feels insecure?
It's such about like one joke on a show that jokes about everyone.
Right. And it's like when people, when we talk about commenters, we're talking about like 1% that don't like us. When it's really just, you have to have such a huge audience who likes you. To have haters. To have haters. And we get obsessed with it. And I'm like, well, once I do this or do that, once I have a Netflix special, I'll never care again. Right. I care.

Chapter 6: How do comedians deal with public criticism?
Even more. If you call me heavy, I will be very upset. You should title your next special heavy. Heavy? Yeah. I got to do a bit about that.
Oh, do you not have a bit?
No.
Just about the word heavy and how deep rooted it is. Oh my God. Heavy. Do you know the song Heavy by Florence and the Machine?
I like Florence and the Machine.
It's a great song. And then when you walk off stage, you could play that song. I think that's a great idea. Free idea. I'm so heavy. It's so good.
I always wanted to come out. I wanted to end my special with, what's her name? It was called Workout. Like, I'm feeling my fitness.
Oh, Kanye workout song?
No, it was, what's her name? I'm...

Chapter 7: What insights does Amy Schumer share about her weight loss journey?
No, I'm... Okay, I'm out of answers. I just flopped the episode. Yeah, it's okay. Kicked me off the show forever. I'm sorry.
The funny thing about Eddie Murphy taking this so personally is like, there are two reactions to getting made fun of on SNL. You can either lean in and being like, this is amazing. Actually, to Bethany's credit, They made fun of her on SNL. She made a million videos about how much she loved it. While it wasn't like the most amazing, flattering depiction of her, it was like obviously exaggerated.
She loved it. I think if you've ever, you know, been made fun of on SNL, you either like say like this was mean or this was amazing.
You've made there's an element of they're talking about.
Oh, big time.
If you're in the SNL, if you're recognizable enough for SNL to talk about you.

Chapter 8: What happened during the accidental screening of an adult film on a ferry?
And that's Bethany. To Bethany, she's bottom line Bethany. Yeah. That's why she makes TikToks all the time. You know that, right? Why? She's making hundreds of thousands of dollars. Yes, from the creator fund. From the creator fund. And she's all about money.
Well, and also, I feel like when people get upset that they've been mocked on SNL, the SNL cast members are like, well, this is the art and this is comedy. They're all very much. So for Eddie Murphy to dislike a joke, When he did that to other people, I find that really interesting because he was on SNL for four years.
Right. It's just a showing of humanity from someone who was the biggest celebrity of all time. It's so true. So it's like you go, wow, it's beyond none of us. We all are insecure. We're all in our heads. So that makes me feel good. Yeah. And then I'm like, man, Jared, I can't believe that I'm going to like... It doesn't get better. Right. It doesn't get better.
Right. Who's like your... Who do you look up to?
My comedy person? Yeah. So I have friends that I love that everyone should go check out.
Sorry, people we've heard of.
So Kevin James.
Oh, that's a great one. Are you familiar with what's going on with Kevin James on TikTok?
I heard there's a guy that looks like him who's a school teacher.
