Chapter 1: What happened with New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel?
Hello, and welcome back to the Friday Feels episode of the U.F. Podcast. I'm Jordana Abraham.
And I am Jared Freed. It is so good to be back here virtually with you, Jordana. How are you? How are you feeling on a Friday?
I'm feeling good. It's, you know... Starting to warm up here in this weird tundra.
Is it? I haven't even noticed.
Maybe not today. Not today. Generally.
It's a rainy day here. So a rainy day in Delray, you know, I couldn't do my walk. So I'm feeling a little down. You know how it is.
I'm sorry.
Can't get outside and look at the beach.
Yeah. I have a question. Do you get recognized as much in Delray as you did in New York?

Chapter 2: What was Jared's experience with TikTok-famous Costco Guys?
Like, they really went for it as a family. They are, like, doing... They are full-time TikTok, YouTube. They are trying.
Did they bump you down to the third most famous person in Delray?
Well, they live in Boca.
They're in Boca. Thank God. Thank God. Different pond. Okay.
Well, the only reason I bring this up is I went to Costco yesterday. And you know when you walk into Costco, there's like displays out as you walk in. And there are these like outdoor furniture chairs.
And as I'm walking up the two chairs, the furniture chairs are facing the entrance and there's a big justice and AJ and they're sitting in the chairs and they're just like looking at everyone as they came in. And I'm like, Is this how starving for attention they are? I was like, they're in a Costco looking. They weren't even looking at their phones.
It wasn't even like they were waiting for something. They were like Walmart greeters. It was crazy. Were people saying anything to them? Not me. I was like, uh-uh. I'm going to act like I've never seen them before. And I kept walking like a normal person.
And then I came, I got my, uh, we'll go V and I go to Costco to get my, I was wondering, I was going to be like, are you suddenly like a Costco guy?
I don't see also like Costco is not for, for men living alone. Right.

Chapter 3: How could Instagram's new feature impact dating?
So I went there and then on my way out after getting my, and I do a lap. I like to go around Costco and see, you know, what the comings and goings of a Costco is. And then I'm like coming back to see if they're still there and they were gone. It was as if it was all a dream.
It was crazy, but it did seeing them in a Costco, like trying to make eye contact kind of felt like how I felt in the West village where it's like, yeah, Jared just kind of walks around here to be noticed.
Do you want a picture? Does anyone want a picture?
Me? Did you say Jared? No, you said Oh, you're going to just salad Sorry, I thought you said Jared
Amazing.
How are you? What's going on?
I am good since I saw you last yesterday. Getting ready for my Boca trip, or my Palm Beach trip.
Oh, you are going to love it down here. I mean, everything... I might never leave. I don't think you will. I think you'll see it and see that beach. Listen, I'm... It seduces me every day.
That's how they get you.

Chapter 4: What listener drama involves engagement jealousy?
Right. Well, that was my issue with it. It wasn't like... I didn't even understand what the question was.
I'm happy you said that. So like, I wasn't sure what the... But also, we choose the emails to read. So like, that's not their fault. That's our fault for choosing, you know, for having an email. And I was like, am I being sensitive? And I do think I am sensitive to people writing things online where... they take a moral high ground on me.
And I think people do that when they try to like down a comedian, they say as a mother, as a person with children, they try to find a way to say that you're in the wrong. And again, this podcast is about being open, honest and vulnerable. So I was like thinking about it and I sent the email to some friends and I'm like, did you guys get what's their vibe from this?
And I got people agreeing with us. I got a couple of people said anti-Semitism. I was like, I'm not on that side of the spectrum. I don't think it's that they're dating someone at who's seemingly Jewish at a country club. OK, fine. But I go, that's not where my head goes, but I get it. And then I had other people go, they sound like a dick. I sent it to my brother.
My brother was like, I thought, my brother thought it was fake. Like they made it up. He was like, which I didn't buy, but he was like, I read it and I was like, it just felt like this person was trying to be funny and fake. And he's like, I lost interest. Okay. And I was like, okay. And then I read it to my parents last night at dinner.
I read it to my parents and I was like, with no... I just was like, what do you guys think of this email we took on the podcast? And I read it, my parents in... And I'm saying this, they were being weird. This was a weird reaction. They...
couldn't have loved the email anymore they like loved it to the point where they wouldn't let me get a word in they were going it's great it's a she gets it wow this woman what an email oh my god my dad goes she should have written the book you should go to her to write the book And I go, wow. And I was about to be like, cause I was like looking for what they felt.
I go, you know, and they go, no, they wouldn't even let me talk. They were like, no, this girl, she get, she's right. She's right. It's people are, you know, elbowing at the buffet. And I'm like, I, and I, it almost came, I was like, why are they, they were like professing. Like, it was like, they wouldn't let me talk. And I kind of let it lie. I just was like, I guess I'll move on.
But I was like... They weren't offended at all?

Chapter 5: How should you approach someone in a park for a date?
I, I wonder if like, it's like, you know how like parents can get like, you're like, that's a fake article on Facebook. And they're like, what? Yeah. Like, I don't think they have that thing in their brain that makes them read an article and hear the, passive aggression in it. Because all I felt was passive aggression in that email.
But also, I'm willing to come back from where I am, but I also don't think my parents are being normal about it.
I get it. Do you remember that Murray Hill song that was making fun of Murray Hill?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think I do. Back in the day. This was from like... This must be like 15 years ago now, maybe 20. And it was funny if you knew... if you were like in it, but didn't really think that you were in it, but kind of understood it. But if you were like an outside person seeing that, you'd be like, these people are monsters and you're still, you're still kind of like, or this seems offensive.
This seems offensive.
Right, right, right, right.
And you're still kind of an outsider of that thing, even though like it's you. Right. I think that maybe that's why they don't, they're not offended by it because they're like, oh, this is like a funny parody of, of where we live and we get it and she gets it. So it's like funny. Right. But if you were someone in the Midwest watching that Murray Hill video, you might be like, um,
This might be like kind of offensive or even someone like adjacent to it, not fully in it, who didn't fully get it. Maybe you're the person who doesn't fully get it.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of secretly watching Instagram stories?
Probably. She's going to be my new family member. That's very funny. I can see why they're not.
I can see why they're not offended, though. No, I could see it. But it was like, again, I think you're right. I think it's well, she's making fun of those other people. Right. Yeah, it's not us. But it is them. They know it's them. I don't know.
It's them a little bit, but they think they're self-aware enough to know that it could be made fun of.
I guess they're starting on the premise, well, she doesn't hate us. She's there, so she doesn't hate us. I think she hates everyone in that room and thinks she's better than everyone in that room. I think I'm starting at that assumption and they're starting at the assumption that she loves us and she's at Passover. The answer's probably somewhere in the middle.
In the middle, yeah. I mean, she's there.
She doesn't have to be there, so I assume... Right, I assume that there's some disgust with the people in the room, but... Maybe that's not fair. Listen, I'm doing what nobody does. I am showing, you know, a little bit of maybe, you know, I don't know. I'm willing to be debated on it. So I just thought that was interesting.
Yeah, if she wants to follow up and tell us if she hates us.
Yeah, that's okay.
Go for it. Let us know. But we should talk about this Instagram thing.

Chapter 7: How do societal norms affect dating interactions today?
First time there. I've never been. I've heard all about it from You've Got Mail. So... What is this story, Jordana?
Okay. So the story is that Instagram is testing a paid version of their app, Instagram Plus, in some countries. I don't think here yet. Basically, it allows you- In Italy. Yes. I think that's more France, maybe.
French? Anyway. Okay, whatever. Anyway.
You can watch stories secretly. No one sees you viewed. You can see who rewatched your stories and it'll cost like one to three dollars a month. And you can see who rewatched your story, which I think will add an interesting layer to to dating. in the ways we've talked about. What do you think?
Right. I think, you know, this show is all about dating is its own thing. It's been the same forever. People dating and trying to be in a committed relationship and the... the trials and tribulations of getting in a committed relationship all relate to the variables on the outside.
You know, like, you know, at one point, will I be in trouble because my covered wagon didn't take me quick enough to the date and the players change, the technology changes, and then it's, what does it mean when they only give me their Snapchat handle? This is another thing that gets added into... the dating thought process and what's going on.
I think, you know, how many times someone watched your stories, we don't even know how it affects us until it affects us. Do you know what I mean? Like, I guess it would be information that you would use to inform your opinion, but I don't know if I'm like wishing for this.
Definitely not. I actually think like, well, here's the thing. Unless it tells you who's a paid subscriber, you're going to have to just assume that everyone... has this thing. So you're not going to watch anyone's story.
So you think this will make people watch no more story. They'll refuse them more.

Chapter 8: What advice is given for navigating awkward social situations?
Would you risk rewatching a story or you would go to a friend's account? You'd find ways around this. I guess you could, but then it shows that your friend is watching the story. Right.
I don't like the idea that you can watch a story and the person can't see. That's annoying to me.
You don't like that you could be hidden, that someone could be hidden from, you want to know everyone who's watching your story.
Could secretly be, not that I'm like looking at every, do you look at who watches your story?
Yes, I do. And I don't want, I don't want the built-in excuse. Oh, I'm hidden. So you can't tell that I watch your stories, but I watch them. Like I, I can tell who has muted me Like, from the story watching. Because you see who your regulars are? Well, yeah, you see, well, people that you follow. You have so many followers. That's okay.
I mean, the people that I follow, you know, that I follow, they go to the top of the page. Okay, so you notice when they're not looking anymore. So, like, when you watch my stories, I see that. I'm not, like, checking you off a list.
Yeah.
But I see that when you watch mine.
Yeah, right. And I know. Oh, I get like if I see someone on Instagram and they're like post comes up, I'm like, where is this person? Right. And if I see that that person is liking all my other friends pictures and then never watches mine, I'm like, I'm just going to assume I was muted. They're on the app. Right. Do you know what I mean? Do you have a list of people you think have used you?
