6.122 - 13.214 Jared Freed

And I am Jared Freed. It is so good to be back here with you, Jordana. How are you? What's going on?

0

13.554 - 24.652 Jordana Abraham

I am good. I was very confused this morning because I took the Long Island Railroad and there were like, this is like the peak commute time, and there were like a ton of kids on the train.

0

24.712 - 25.954 Jared Freed

Okay.

0

25.934 - 30.721 Jordana Abraham

And Mike was like, why are all these kids here? I don't really understand. And then we Googled it.

31.041 - 32.303 Jared Freed

Why are children on the train?

32.323 - 35.006 Jordana Abraham

How do you Google? Like, what is today something?

Chapter 2: What should I do if my partner helps a coworker who makes me uncomfortable?

35.046 - 47.263 Jordana Abraham

Or, like, whatever. I don't know. He Googled it, and he was like, apparently it's take your kid to work day. Oh, my God. Right? Which used to be take your daughter to work day, but I think now they changed it to take your child to work day.

0

47.423 - 59.741 Jared Freed

So all these little kids, what, like, have their, like, suits on and professor glasses and, like, briefcases? Basically. Yeah, they're on the train with their parents. It seems like that's the worst version of a day off from work.

0

60.222 - 60.662 Jordana Abraham

Oh, yeah.

0

60.682 - 61.464 Jared Freed

You still have to go.

0

61.784 - 63.266 Jordana Abraham

You have your kid.

63.967 - 67.353 Jared Freed

You can't really work. But you also can't really say no.

Chapter 3: How do I handle love bombing and sudden changes in plans?

67.813 - 68.154 Jared Freed

Right.

0

68.214 - 68.494 Jordana Abraham

Yeah.

0

68.995 - 83.283 Jared Freed

I would say no. You would say no. You wouldn't do it. To me, this is one of those things. I got bad feedback from my take on paternity leave. But this is another thing that I'm like... a little bit old man-ish on. Did you ever go with your dad?

0

83.303 - 90.856 Jordana Abraham

No, stay the fuck home. I gotta go to work. Did your dad ever take you to work? Maybe, yeah. When we were kids, it was take your daughter to work day to get women in the workforce.

0

Chapter 4: Is saying 'I'm bored' in a long-term relationship rude or honest?

90.916 - 95.503 Jordana Abraham

Now we're here enough. We did it. Yeah, we did it. We're good. We don't need to do that.

0

96.004 - 96.966 Jared Freed

The whole issue's solved.

0

97.026 - 98.989 Jordana Abraham

You never went?

0

99.695 - 105.281 Jared Freed

I'm sure I did. I just don't remember it being take your kid to work day reasoning.

0

105.741 - 110.586 Jordana Abraham

Right. It was more just like I need to stop by somewhere to go.

110.606 - 114.39 Jared Freed

Yeah. I went to my dad's work. Did you go to your dad's work? Did you go to your mom's work?

Chapter 5: When is it okay to tell a date I'm attracted to someone else?

114.49 - 115.251 Jared Freed

Yeah, I did.

0

115.291 - 118.754 Jordana Abraham

I went to his office. I mean, I used to work in my mom's office.

0

120.476 - 121.918 Jared Freed

You'd be like what? Like the secretary?

0

122.338 - 126.242 Jordana Abraham

No. My grandma was actually the secretary in my mom's office. Wow.

0

126.222 - 141.643 Jared Freed

That must have been quite a gynecological experience. To walk in and have your mom be the doctor and the grandma who's like... A family business. And they're talking to each other like they're having grandma-mom fights.

141.663 - 147.411 Jordana Abraham

Oh, my grandma would be yelling at my mom. She'd be like, Patience, you've got patients in the room. Stop being on your phone.

148.793 - 151.977 Jared Freed

Actually, my grandma was... The most stressful...

Chapter 6: How can I navigate dating that feels like a job interview?

152.176 - 160.988 Jared Freed

Like you're in there like, I gotta get a pap smear. Oh my God, this is gonna be a horrible day. And then like, you got patients. Yeah. Get over here. You're always late.

0

161.309 - 162.47 Unknown

Look what you wore today.

0

162.531 - 165.274 Jordana Abraham

Lisa, people in the room, let's keep going.

0

165.815 - 170.742 Jared Freed

I love how much I knew exactly how horrific this would be for the patient.

0

170.722 - 189.483 Jordana Abraham

This is pre-Yelp reviews, pre... Thank God, because I don't think they would have been great. My grandma was one of the scariest women that ever lived. I loved her. She's very funny, no bullshit. Right. But she was very cutthroat in that way.

Chapter 7: What advice should I follow when dealing with jealousy in relationships?

189.523 - 209.239 Jordana Abraham

And she managed the office. She managed all the finances. And she was obsessed with the Holocaust. So she used to play Schindler's List in the waiting room. And my mom would be like, mom, I think, you know, like maybe we could, you know, make something a little bit more like neutral, pleasant. She'd be like, they need to know.

0

209.439 - 210.621 Jared Freed

How about Friday the 13th?

0

210.641 - 213.144 Jordana Abraham

Let's put on like a horror movie.

0

213.344 - 214.366 Jared Freed

That'd be a little bit better.

0

214.406 - 218.812 Jordana Abraham

Yeah. That's crazy. That's what I'm saying. She did not, there was no.

219.172 - 225.541 Jared Freed

Well, it's funny on the, on the subject of like kind of over corrections, like take your daughter to work day. Then we're like, we're done.

Chapter 8: How do I assess if a comment about attraction is a red flag?

225.561 - 233.112 Jared Freed

We got to do take your kid to work day. it's similar to this where like someone's like, I hated going to the doctor. Like,

0

234.577 - 258.711 Jared Freed

like growing up it was like the most horrific experience of my life and yeah of course it was it was some mom and daughter duo screaming at each other the magazines are old like and then they're like well now you can just do it from home and like you know these web therapy sessions you're like well i still kind of want to leave the house how about we just not have an 80 year old woman yelling at her adult child who's your doctor

0

258.691 - 261.475 Jared Freed

Right, how about no Schindler's List in the waiting room?

0

261.495 - 262.997 Jordana Abraham

In the waiting room, yeah.

0

263.558 - 273.712 Jared Freed

Isn't it like, you know what I mean? It's like, we do have these, you're like, man, maybe it wasn't as bad, but it was just like, no one took any care for the experience of the customer.

273.732 - 287.331 Jordana Abraham

Here's the thing, I think, yeah, I think you could do that before there was like a million reviews everywhere. Basically, it was like, if you wanted to, you had to look at like the USA Today Best Doctor magazine to get like the list, but there wasn't like reviews that were rampant.

287.311 - 302.371 Jared Freed

Well, and you just go based, a friend goes to them and they trust them. They go, you know, Dr. Abraham, you know, Abraham. Rosenberg, yeah. They go, Dr. Rosenberg is great and I know her. My daughter, my mom went to her.

302.411 - 304.975 Jordana Abraham

Secretary, a little intense. Right, you're going to have to deal with that.

308.099 - 328.595 Jared Freed

The secretary is going to ask how horrible your day was, not whether it was a good day. How you doing? I'm doing awful. Well, I'm here to check in for my appointment. My stomach is really not doing well. Okay, can I give you my name? It must have been a horrific experience for any patient.
