08 May 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

0.031 - 2.313 Jared Freed

I went on this sketch my ex show.

0

2.754 - 3.775 Jordana Abraham

They sketched your ex?

0

3.855 - 8.919 Jared Freed

Yeah. What did you do with it? So I did Emily because she is technically my ex.

0

10.161 - 14.104 Jordana Abraham

Oh. So that was my way. It would have been way funnier if you did like a real ex.

0

14.625 - 17.908 Jared Freed

There was no way in hell I was going to do that.

18.849 - 20.731 Jordana Abraham

You describe her and then they draw her?

20.751 - 34.344 Jared Freed

And they draw her. In the end, I revealed that we're dating now. Okay. As like the fun turn. It's just funny that like... Yeah, I don't want to take that risk of talking about an ex and saying what they look like.

34.364 - 39.45 Jordana Abraham

Of course you don't. That's like only your greatest fear. Right. So is someone retaliating against you? Right.

39.61 - 43.735 Jared Freed

I don't want to be in a slap contest and go first on the slap.

Chapter 2: How does postpartum affect personal identity and relationships?

209.843 - 212.389 Jared Freed

And you're missing out on things going on.

0

212.369 - 217.835 Jordana Abraham

That's true. Yeah. Well, that's something, the flip side overall, I've never done it the other way, but I, uh, I think it was a good time of year.

0

218.035 - 218.776 Jared Freed

You're happy with it.

0

218.816 - 223.942 Jordana Abraham

Yeah. I wonder if they're going to be like annoyed with their birthdays though. Cause I don't feel like that's a fun birthday month.

0

223.962 - 224.703 Jared Freed

I think it's great.

225.043 - 226.244 Jordana Abraham

January, February birthday.

226.485 - 247.149 Jared Freed

You liked your birthday month growing up? My birthday month was good because it always fell during vacation. So I have a lot of like, it felt like, you know, I would go to Florida with my family to go stay at my grandparents president's week thing. Um, That was nice. I do think also the breaking up of the winter. February 21st, I admit, really bad, depressing day.

247.209 - 265.393 Jared Freed

But to have that as an island in the middle of a... There's something positive. Something positive in the darkness of the winter. To let you break it up, have a reason to go to dinner, have a reason to take a trip. I think there's something good about that. As the summer, you kind of get folded into the summer.

265.441 - 268.871 Jordana Abraham

Right. People have other fun shit going on that's nothing to do with you.

Chapter 3: What are the challenges of having a winter baby?

378.229 - 381.594 Jordana Abraham

You couldn't do that until like the iPhone. Like later into the iPhone.

0

381.614 - 401.355 Jared Freed

It is interesting that group email is, was before group text. Yes. And I don't know if my brain really sees one leading to the other. Like, you know, when people ask me why did I start comedy, I would always tell the story I've told and the story I truly believe to be my story is that

0

401.335 - 421.404 Jared Freed

I'd be on group emails with people like, and it was like G chat and I'd be at work and I would be on a group email and the group email would start on a Monday or Tuesday and we'd be talking about last weekend and all the things that happened. And then it would be also getting ahead of what's for next weekend. It would be this group of people in their twenties who everyone's single.

0

421.504 - 432.546 Jared Freed

Everyone's looking to hang out. You got a little bit of money in your pocket cause you started a new job and where are we going? What are we doing? And then, I'd be on these group emails and I would write back and make fun of everyone.

0

432.566 - 434.752 Jordana Abraham

Well, it's a chance to practice your craft, right?

434.772 - 446.481 Jared Freed

Totally. And when someone would go off of the group email and come back to me individually and go, that was fucking hilarious. I'm dying at my desk. I felt it through my veins. Like I felt it.

446.781 - 464.649 Jordana Abraham

What a lost art form. You know, you were just talking before the show about like, um, you want like technology a little bit, or you want like a little thing, a little bit. I feel like we kind of had the perfect amount of like using technology to facilitate social connections, but not so intensely that it's sort of destroyed ever.

464.689 - 476.045 Jordana Abraham

Like not now you don't have to get contacted through replying to an Instagram story, but like, you had to like the reply to an email is an easy way to talk to people, but not as easy as replying to an Instagram story.

476.065 - 501.306 Jared Freed

Totally. There's a, you know, the toothpaste out of the tube. Like, you know, that's every slippery slope argument is like, we just want this, but then it will lead to all of this. You know, like if we get group emails, that's great because it will connect us all, but it's going to lead to a version of social media that feels disconnected. And you go, well, I want that, but I don't want that.

Chapter 4: How did social media change event planning and communication?

919.554 - 921.036 Jordana Abraham

Just like the boomers.

0

921.056 - 927.445 Jared Freed

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss. I think we're all fucked. I hear what you're saying, but I think there's a different version.

0

927.466 - 930.75 Jordana Abraham

I was like, maybe the boomers will just die and then all our problems will be solved.

0

931.271 - 939.072 Jared Freed

No. We'll find... Gen Z, they're all proud boys. Like, all the guys. Eight women are in the manosphere.

0

939.092 - 941.555 Jordana Abraham

I don't get fed that stuff, but I believe you.

941.595 - 971.044 Jared Freed

I don't know if I get fed it as much as, like, I don't know. All right, let's do the emails. Hey, listen, if you want to hear these pithy comments on the road, I am doing stand-up all over this great country of ours. L.A. When does this come out? May 8th. Tomorrow night. Tomorrow night, Los Angeles. The sun will come out. The sun will come out tomorrow, tomorrow.

971.685 - 986.145 Jared Freed

Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow you'll get laughs. The sun will come out. We're doing another verse. Thank you.

986.305 - 988.268 Jordana Abraham

Have you ever been in a play at school?

988.248 - 989.289 Jared Freed

I was in a play.
