Hello and welcome back to the U.S. Podcast. I'm Jordana Abraham.
And I am Jared Freed. It is so good to be back here with you, Jordana. How are you? What's going on? What's the haps? What's going on with me? Not that much.
Nothing.
Okay.
Good start.
Yeah. Not that much. Yeah.
Fun start to our Wednesday episode.
You know, it's funny. It's funny because we were talking, you know, if you listen to the benefits episode that's out, we were talking about you coming to stay with me. And you asked Emily about like three words to describe the weekend. And one of the words you said was contentment.
Yes.
And I've been thinking about that since we recorded that yesterday. Oh, no.
How do Jordana and Jared define 'contentment' versus ambition in life?
Did I ruin the marriage? I'm sorry. No, no. If anything, I was like, yeah, like I actually feel like that's very true. Like I feel like if this is where I stayed in life, I would be very lucky and I would be very happy if I stayed like with this, you know, with like all the blessings that I have right now. I don't need any more. You want for nothing. Yes. That's kind of how I feel. But I'm also like... Is this boring? You just said, what's going on with you?
I don't know.
I don't have much going on either. I'm not sitting here like... No, I mean, you've got your specials. You've got your book out. Your girlfriend's moving in with you.
I have a lot of dishes that I'm... I would like to be where you are, but I also know maybe that I'm a little incapable of like... I don't know if I would... I want to be where you are. Like, I want the special, which is coming out... I don't even know if we've announced the date yet. If I've announced the date at this point, because we're taping a little ahead, then it's coming out.
September.
September, Netflix. I want it to do so well that... I could be at altitude. Like I always feel like I'm taking the plane off in a storm a little bit. Um, but I want to be like, I want to be able to do like if in my dream of dreams, it's do this podcast, do my podcast, do the shows. That's it. No, like, Hey everybody, I'm going to be here next Tuesday at eight. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Like I want to stop dancing a little bit. I want a tour. I want to do week. I love doing a club weekend. I love, I like, I have, uh, I have, I love working on material. I hate telling people, Hey, show this week. And I hate getting the texts like Jared, we have 30 tickets sold for the whole weekend. You got to make a video, go, yo, go dance on the beach so that someone buys a ticket.
Like I wish all that, uh,
I wish I was like, so you're just saying you want to, you still want to do the same thing. So you just don't want to have to promote them as much.
Right. I want a little more guarantees. Like I want just a little more.
Well, do you want to go on the road for like the rest of your life?
Yeah, I want, like, yeah, I love the road. I love going on the road. I love doing stand-up. Like, when I'm on stage, it is as relaxed as I've, like, it's it. That's it. Like, when I have it, like, the set I have, I just had, like, a weekend in Miami. I did five shows and I'm working on a set that like, and the way I'm doing standup, you know, is like one story that kind of goes in 10 directions and comes back to the story. I've kind of found the way I like doing it. I don't feel like I'm like searching for what should I talk about? You know, like I think those things will come. So like I do, and I have the next two specials thought out in my head.
Okay.
Like I have the next one I'm taping and then the one after that I'm taping, I know what those are going to be about. So I kind of, I'm calmed about that, but I do need to work on it. Like I, and I like the work, but the work, the other work to get to do the work of like, you know, stressing out about like, am I, is my, am I growing? Am I getting new people? You know, I, I, again, like you're saying, like, you're like, I'm good. This is great. Like, I think for me, I need, you know, for tomorrow to be guaranteed, I have to work today. I think we all have to, but like, well, that stresses me out, you know, like in a way that, that I wish it didn't stress me out.
