Main Discussion & Segment Overviews

Friday Feels and Personal Catch Up (00:30–13:00)

• Jordana shares her suburban parking anxiety (00:30–04:15):

  • Jordana discusses stress over parking in a packed train station lot, feeling entitled given her local residency and permit status.
  • Jared quips about the privileges of suburban life and jokes about essential workers—"The police should be working for you, is my point." (03:18, Jared)
  • Both muse about whether there should be special “podcaster” parking designations.

• Teeth cleaning and childhood braces stories (05:11–06:50):

  • Jared updates on his dental health post-cleaning; Jordana recounts being one of eight kids and having to pay for her own braces.
  • Notable Moment: “That’s how self-made I am—my own braces with my lisp before all, hosting this podcast.” (06:01, Jordana)

• Dog parent confessions (06:51–10:59):

  • Jared riffs on an elevator interaction with a dog owner—calling out the classic “Some people don’t like that” comment.
  • Jordana admits to having no control over her dog Ron, humorously accepts her incompetency as a dog owner.
    • “Hey dog, I’m sorry I’m a bad owner.” (10:14, Jordana)
  • Light banter about dog etiquette as reflective of general social interactions.

• Tour dates and personal milestones (10:47–18:07):

  • They joke about awkwardly recording award speeches before results—a la Webbies—and about the futility/humor of manifesting success.
    • “It’s not about the lists we didn’t make. It’s the lists we talked about along the way.” (17:39, Jared)

Picky or Icky? Dating Etiquette – The Gallon Water Jug Guy (20:32–28:37)

Listener Scenario:
A woman recounts a third date where the man brings a literal gallon jug of water to the restaurant and later to the next bar, swinging it as they walk. She’s turned off by the peculiar focus on finishing his gallon water goal during their date.

• Hosts’ Take:
  • Jared recognizes this as “classic muscle bro” behavior seen in bodybuilder circles (22:29).
  • Jordana relates, comparing it to obsessive step-tracking or wearing an Apple Watch everywhere (22:50).
  • Both recognize the symbolism: the gallon jug isn’t just about hydration, but about underlying attitudes toward dating (rigidity, lack of spontaneity, self-preoccupation).
  • Insight: Taking functional habits (hydration, steps, fitness) into social or romantic settings without adaption signals "low effort" and possible lack of prioritization for the date.
    • “Am I just checked off of a list of things you had to do today?” (26:32, Jared)
    • Jordana draws analogy to showing up in sweatpants—not trying or making the occasion special.
  • They conclude this is less about being “picky” and more about reasonable standards for effort and fun in dating.

Main Topic: Should You Tell Dates You're on a GLP-1? (29:55–40:45)

Listener Email Recap:
A 34-year-old woman, on GLP-1 medication for weight loss, asks whether (and how) to disclose this fact to dates, given its effects (low appetite, altered drinking). Her recent experience: after minimal eating and drinking on a date, she worries about coming off as “a wet blanket,” especially when he is paying.

Key Discussion Points

• Stigma, Privacy & Intimacy

  • Jared is open about his own GLP-1 use, likening it to “Alcoholics Anonymous”:
    • "Yeah, I’m on a GLP-1…to me, it's like Alcoholics Anonymous. I don’t give a—" (33:12, Jared)
  • Emphasizes the medication's practical benefits for him: "Being able to live a life without food on my mind." (33:41)
  • Acknowledges the vulnerability and shame that can come with such disclosures, but frames it as more of a “lifestyle medication” than "vanity."

• Is It Noticing, Or Is It Your Anxiety?

  • Both agree most people aren’t scrutinizing how much their date eats—“I think she's noticing how much she's eating more than anyone would on a date with her.” (34:47, Jared)
  • Jared mentions dating a woman who never disclosed being on GLP-1s; felt it affected relational intimacy, not the check.

• Sex/Gendered Angles and Societal Pressure

  • Jordana points out it’s likely harder for a woman to disclose this than a man due to heightened appearance pressures (35:41).

• Behavioral Transparency & Connection

  • Jared frames disclosure as ultimately freeing, allowing genuine connection; the real issue, he says, is not honesty, not appetite.
    • “The only version that was negative to me was, you're not letting me into your life." (35:31, Jared)
  • Jordana: "The person who has a weird reaction to it, probably not a person for you...It's informative." (39:06)

• What If They React Poorly?

  • “Whenever someone says 'you don’t need it, you look fine,' I’m always like, oh, they don’t get it.” (39:18, Jared)

• Parental Pressure & Generational Stigma

  • Jared shares that even his parents, also on the medication, only see it as vanity, not lifestyle.
    • Story of parent wanting increased dosage: “Did you get more drugs so you could lose more?” (40:01, Jared)
    • Draws parallel to generational neuroticism over weight or appearance.

Conclusion:
Both hosts encourage honesty with dates about GLP-1 use if/when a relationship progresses or when it would otherwise make things easier. Ultimately, the right person will understand or will be worth the vulnerability.

[Jordana Abraham]

Artists, working people in America.

[Jared Freid]

That's us.

[Jordana Abraham]

Clap for the podcasters at 7pm yeah. So I'm a little gonna start doing

[Jared Freid]

pots and pans for you.

[Jordana Abraham]

That I guess I'm gonna get a ticket or my car is gonna get towed or something, I feel. But I don't.

[Jared Freid]

When you park there, you were just like, I guess, goodbye to the car.

[Jordana Abraham]

Well, it's like, I have to make. I have to make the train.

[Jared Freid]

Yeah.

[Jordana Abraham]

And the Like, I'm circling and I'm looking for a spot, and then like, the train's get about to come, so I need to park. And I'm kind of like, these people, they didn't make enough spots. I have a parking permit. I'm making my own.

[Jared Freid]

Well, the permit helps you. That gives you something.

[Jordana Abraham]

I have a permit, like, if I. That should be. That should entitle me to park there. Right. My fault. There's no spots.

[Jared Freid]

You're in a small town. Like, yeah, what.

[Jordana Abraham]

Where are. Who are these people?

[Jared Freid]

You know, like, who. Yeah. Who's towing a car that, like, lives there to go to work?

[Jordana Abraham]

Like, yeah, I'm the most privileged person who's parking there. I'm going in at the 12pm train to go record a podcast.

[Jared Freid]

There is a little piece of this. Where do you feel you move to the suburbs? That you're like a. Like, I think the change of, like, Manhattan to the suburbs is like this, like, idea that, like, my tax money is going to local stuff.

[Jordana Abraham]

Yeah.

[Jared Freid]

So, like, you're like, I'm a. I'm. I'm a taxpayer in this town. For them to, like, take me away.

[Jordana Abraham]

Yeah.

[Jared Freid]

Is like, I would almost be, like, upset. Like, they are kind of.

[Jordana Abraham]

And I.

[Jared Freid]

The police should be working for you, is my point.

[Jordana Abraham]

That's kind of when I was think. Because I was going through this in my head, I was like, oh, what would someone, like, are they going to ticket me? Are they going to look. Look and see that I parked? I'm like, I didn't block anyone. I parked. I just like, made a little extra spot.

[Jared Freid]

Yeah.

[Jordana Abraham]

I think I'm kind of like, it's up if they. I mean, they haven't given me a ticket yet. We'll find out when I go home tonight.

[Jared Freid]

But my dad did this. He parked in a loading zone and he was just like, did they give me. If I die, I die. It was kind of like, I got to go.

[Jordana Abraham]

What am I going to do? There's not going to be more spots if I take a later train.

[Jared Freid]

No, I'm. I'm with you.

[Jordana Abraham]

I.

[Jared Freid]

Were you blocking anyone? Were you in the way of anything?

[Jordana Abraham]

No, that's what I'm saying. I just made the spot.

[Jared Freid]

Whose problem am I? Nobody.

[Jordana Abraham]

I don't think so. But I don't know if, like, I don't know how aggressive the people, the, the parking people in my town are.

[Jared Freid]

Well, we're about to find out. And I will pray for you, as I think the whole listenership should. I know and on YouTube. Yeah. Like, listen, pray for Jordana. Thank you. I mean, hashtag Jordana Strong. Hashtag no tickets today.

[Jordana Abraham]

Seriously, everyone's. All these people are taking public transportation back to. Back to pre covered levels I've seen.

[Jared Freid]

So it's really busy.

[Jordana Abraham]

Yeah. A lot of people on the train.

[Jared Freid]

It's also a beautiful day.

[Jordana Abraham]

I always warn Mike, if we go in together, I'm like, we might not be able to sit together. We have to make sure we sit together.

[Jared Freid]

He's like, like the Titanic.

[Jordana Abraham]

And he's like, I don't know. Like, we'll figure it out. Like, we'll just. I'll just take whatever seat I see about.

[Jared Freid]

Whoever gets a seat gets one.

[Jordana Abraham]

He's like every man. He's like every man for himself. I'm like, no, you better tell that person. This is. I'm with my wife. Please move to the other side.

[Jared Freid]

My wife needs to sit. She's got a podcast to do today.

[Jordana Abraham]

She has a podcast too. She needs to go over all the list of chores I need to do this weekend. This is our time.

[Jared Freid]

Plug city.

[Jared Freid]

You can see Dr. Lauren Becker, that celebrity dentist.

[Jordana Abraham]

[Jared Freid]

would imagine she's good. And I got a good report that my gums are growing back.

[Jordana Abraham]

Oh, wow.

[Jared Freid]

From all the flossing I'm doing in an electric toothbrush.

[Jordana Abraham]

Where did they go?

[Jared Freid]

I guess they were decaying. I'm an old man. Jordana, do you have any craps? No.

[Jordana Abraham]

Did you have braces as a kid?

[Jared Freid]

I had braces.

[Jordana Abraham]

You had braces?

[Jared Freid]

Of course. Oh, you didn't have braces?

[Jordana Abraham]

No. I was one of eight children. My mom was. My mom gave the first two braces and then she was like, the rest of your teeth are fine.

[Jared Freid]

You're all good if they're good.

[Jordana Abraham]

Naomi, second in law. My oldest brother Adam both got braces.

[Jared Freid]

Yeah.

[Jordana Abraham]

And then the rest of us magically just didn't need them.

[Jared Freid]

Just didn't need them.

[Jordana Abraham]

No.

[Jared Freid]

That could have gone in a bad direction, cuz you have nice teeth.

[Jordana Abraham]

Well, I had. I got my own braces. I had to pay for my own braces. That's how self made I am.

[Jared Freid]

That sounds horrific.

[Jordana Abraham]

My own braces with my lisp before all Hosting this podcast before no parking spot part.

[Jared Freid]

Your own braces. Rags to Rich's tail.

[Jordana Abraham]

Seriously, they should write. But put this in my biopic.

[Jared Freid]

That. That's the hard. That's like the harsh part of the movie where they're showing how hard it was. Yeah. Yeah.

[Jordana Abraham]

Did you have a. Did you have different color, like the colorful braces? That was big when I was.

[Jared Freid]

I did the ones where they were like. So you. They don't stick out as much. They would always tell you like, get silver. It's like you don't see them and then you'd be like, that didn't help at all.

[Jordana Abraham]

Did you get them out for your bar mitzvah?

[Jared Freid]

No, I think I still had.

[Jordana Abraham]

You still had. You kept them in.

[Jared Freid]

Wow. Yeah, I'm not that.

[Jordana Abraham]

That's a confident move.

[Jared Freid]

Yeah, I wasn't that.

[Jordana Abraham]

Oh, that's like a rich.

[Jared Freid]

That's a rich guy.

[Jordana Abraham]

Oh, yeah, I guess take them off

[Jared Freid]

for the bar mitzvah. I haven't put on That's.

[Jordana Abraham]

I didn't even think of that.

[Jared Freid]

That big money, 15 years old.

[Jordana Abraham]

That makes sense. How are you doing?

[Jared Freid]

So I got my teeth cleaned and on the way in, there was a woman with a dog in the elevator. Okay. And she looks like she might listen to this podcast. Okay. So maybe she looks. Hear this? No, but she got in the elevator with her dog. And then I get in the elevator, you know, going up to Dr. Lauren Becker to get a cleaning, and she. The dog starts like sniffing around my leg and like is like on my foot. And the dog owner goes. She goes, whatever the dog's at. I don't know what the dog. She was like, come on, stop it. Some people don't like that. Some people don't like.

[Jordana Abraham]

Oh, wow.

[Jared Freid]

That to me, Dagger is total. This is how crazy these dog people are. Like, some people don't like that.

[Jordana Abraham]

I may have said that.

[Jared Freid]

Some people said that to some. Why is it me that's the problem? Hey, we don't do that to people. Is the real. Some people don't like that.

[Jordana Abraham]

It makes it. Oh, some people do like that.

[Jared Freid]

Then how do I know if you even like me touching your dog too? Yeah, there's this whole thing of like, well, ask for permission to touch the dog to pet the dog. Maybe you shouldn't. Now it's. Some people don't like that.

[Jordana Abraham]

Yeah, I understand. I understand.

[Jared Freid]

Skewed the idea that like, now I'm this big fucking dickhead.

[Jordana Abraham]

Yeah.

[Jared Freid]

Cruella Deville. I will say skin it for my jacket.

[Jordana Abraham]

I've been on the other side. Right. I walk my, I walk Ron around the neighborhood. There's not as many people as New York City. But whenever he sees someone else on the street, there's not like that, isn't like that crowded. He'll see another person or another dog on the street. He will make a run for it to go run a leash. Some people are like, oh, like let me pet the dog, like whatever. And then some people are like moving to the other side of the street and so I have said to run, run. Some people don't like that.

[Jared Freid]

How about you have the leash and you yank on it and you go no, Ron.

[Jordana Abraham]

Well some people are like, oh, like let him.

[Jared Freid]

But it's going to start with no, then I will receive him.

[Jordana Abraham]

Yeah. I mean if you're a competent parent, which I'm not.

[Jared Freid]

Right. This is my point. Yeah, you admit it. At least I get you to say I'm incompetent. Yes, I'm incompetent.

[Jordana Abraham]

I have no control over this.

[Jared Freid]

Some people don't like it. It's. Is putting it on you quite a way to put it on.

[Jordana Abraham]

But I do kind of think when the person moves to the other side of the street like you're a dog. I'm like, how could. Who couldn't let this.

[Jared Freid]

And I'm sitting there looking at him like I just don't want to. I don't have my foot.

[Jordana Abraham]

Right.

[Jared Freid]

I'm in an elevator. Yeah, some people don't like this. Oh yeah, Mr. Grumpy.

[Jordana Abraham]

I say that whenever. Yeah, now it's my life. Everyone must hate me talking so much.

[Jared Freid]

I'm a big piece of.

[Jordana Abraham]

Whenever anyone comes over my house, Ron just jumps on them starting and then.

[Jared Freid]

Hey, some people don't like that.

[Jordana Abraham]

Some people don't like to just have their feet, ankles bitten off.

[Jared Freid]

Some people don't like a big animal jumping on them.

[Jordana Abraham]

Some people, I think most people, I am the problem. I am the pro. I will admit it.

[Jared Freid]

You dog people, really?

[Jordana Abraham]

No, it's cuz I have no control over him and I'm.

[Jared Freid]

That's the point. Well, it's like. Yeah, but that's rarely said. Hey, sorry I'm a horrible owner. I, I didn't train it well. Yeah, I'm not disciplined. That's what she should have said.

[Jordana Abraham]

I should say that to everyone.

[Jared Freid]

Hey dog, I'm sorry I'm a bad owner.

[Jordana Abraham]

I, I do say that sometimes when I'm, like, trying to pull him and the. And he' Be like. He really doesn't listen to me. I'm sorry.

[Jared Freid]

Right. That would be to. Some people don't like this. All right, well, I digress.

[Jordana Abraham]

Sometimes I say, this dog is walking me to lighten the mood.

[Jared Freid]

Right. See, that's fine. I like that. I. I just don't think I'll never win this battle. Dog. People are continuously going to talk about how some people don't like this and not everyone likes a dog. I like dogs.

I think it was the Webbies or something.

[Jordana Abraham]

Yeah, it was like. It was like everyone who was nominated had to record an acceptance speech before they found out the one. And so we've done it like three times. We've never won, but we've had to record. They. It's like. It's almost like torture.

[Jared Freid]

So stupid, right? Thanking them for award. We knew we weren't going to win, right? It's like all these people are telling us for us and we were like, not really doing it.

[Jordana Abraham]

Telling a person who's like, being broken up with to record their, like, wedding

[Jared Freid]

vows just in case we might use them. So. Okay, let's record both versions.

[Jordana Abraham]

All right.

[Jared Freid]

Okay, let's. This is me. I've. We're going to keep all this in.

[Jordana Abraham]

Okay? You get to hear both.

[Jared Freid]

I have made the New York Times best.

[Jordana Abraham]

You are officially a New York Times. Are you going for number one New York Times bestseller or just New York Times?

[Jared Freid]

There's no other number?

[Jordana Abraham]

No, there.

[Jared Freid]

Is there?

[Jordana Abraham]

The New York Times bestseller list is like the top. If you're on you're on the best sellers. If you make like the top, like 11.

[Jared Freid]

11 top 11 books. Somebody's rich parents made sure that number

[Jordana Abraham]

one New York Times bestseller is like a different league.

[Jared Freid]

You're not gonna. You probably won't get that.

[Jordana Abraham]

That's much harder to get.

[Jared Freid]

What do you might. Thank you. Okay, so this is me winning this on the New York Times best.

[Jordana Abraham]

I. I was not in. I was not number one. I like number like 11 and 13. I just made it.

[Jared Freid]

Just made it. I am number 11. This is me celebrating.

[Jordana Abraham]

But you're still a New York times bestseller.

[Jared Freid]

Number 11. I got it. Thanks a lot, everybody. Okay, now here's my.

[Jordana Abraham]

Maybe you'll get number one. I don't want you to be disappointed if you don't get number one.

[Jared Freid]

Well, here's my not getting it. Hey, everybody. We got the numbers back and I didn't even make the 11 top 11 books. I didn't even make the 11. I think a workbook is on there.

[Jordana Abraham]

Yeah.

[Jared Freid]

And a coloring book. But we tried. Guess life isn't going to turn around for old, dear old Uncle J train.

[Jordana Abraham]

I mean, number one. I'll give you context for the Our first book, nice is just a place in France. The number we made. We just made it the New York Times bestseller list. The number one book was Lean In. So, like, it's hard.

[Jared Freid]

You have to be like. Also, this happened to me before. I was in the top 10 for Netflix for 37 and single.

[Jordana Abraham]

Yeah.

[Jared Freid]

If I made it one more day, it would be a whole week and then it would have been, like on the Billboard charts. It would have, like, made this like. Like, there's like a thing to being on the top 10 Netflix for a week. You get something comes to you.

[Jordana Abraham]

That's pretty cool.

[Jared Freid]

It's pretty cool. I was there for like six days and be. Because they took. What was it? It was Entourage. Not Entourage. What's the show with the Rock where he plays an agent? It was like him, but it was Entourage but with the Rock.

[Jordana Abraham]

Is this a good. Was this a good show?

[Jared Freid]

It was a show that was on for a million years. Ballers. Okay, so Ballers iconic show. Ballers also went on Netflix the week that 37 single went on Netflix. But then I got kicked off because Ballers doesn't go on as a show. It goes on as seasons. So Ballers season five and seven kicked me off, and then I didn't make it for the full week.

[Jordana Abraham]

Do you still like I hate the Rock? You love the rock.

[Jared Freid]

No, I love them. The Rock. Yes. He's responded to me on Twitter.

[Jordana Abraham]

Oh, wow.

[Jared Freid]

Yeah.

[Jordana Abraham]

Your idol.

[Jared Freid]

We've. We. I made fun of him many times. There was a time where I made fun of him because the. He kept talking about, my tequila's coming out. My tequila is coming out. And I was like, the Rock's tequila is like my girlfriend that lives. That's a model in Canada. Like, it's not happening. And then he responded to that.

[Jordana Abraham]

Oh, yeah.

[Jared Freid]

And then the tequila came out, and I did a brand deal with them.

[Jordana Abraham]

Oh, wow.

[Jared Freid]

It all came full circle. Thank God that tequila came out.

[Jordana Abraham]

He's your. Is your arch nemesis.

[Jared Freid]

That's right. So listen, this is all to say if I didn't make the New York Times top 11. We tried.

[Jordana Abraham]

I'm sure you will.

[Jared Freid]

Well, we'll see. It doesn't matter. I'm here.

[Jordana Abraham]

Yeah.

[Jared Freid]

It's not about the lists we didn't make. It's the list we talked about along the way. I'm doing okay. I'm. I'm very stressed. I'm not killing it. Don't say that, too.

[Jordana Abraham]

What do they call it in Yiddish? Like an. The Iron Hara.

[Jared Freid]

What is that? I think sounds scary.

[Jordana Abraham]

Sammy told me about it. It's like when you, like, say something out loud and it's kind of like a Yiddish jinx or something.

[Jared Freid]

Yeah, Yeah. I don't want to Yiddish jinx. The Yiddish jinx is my mom telling me that I've eaten too much.

[Jordana Abraham]

The Iron Horror.

[Jared Freid]

New Body Vada Lata lotions on Sol de Janeiro.com you're picky. Hi JJ. Love the pod. I haven't so excited to be here.

[Jared Freid]

All right, let's start the show.

[Jordana Abraham]

I have an IG or Picky for you. I'm like that meme of the Titanic woman. It's been 80 years. I had a third date with a guy I met on Hinge. I got to a restaurant at 7:30 on a Friday. When I walk in I see him standing there with a gallon jug of water. Not a large water bottle, but a literal gallon of Poland Spring. Picture attached for reference.

[Jared Freid]

I know the gallon.

[Jordana Abraham]

I know the gallon. I didn't need. I didn't need the picture either.

[Jared Freid]

Didn't need it. It was sitting in my brain.

[Jordana Abraham]

It helps. I asked him about the water and he said he's trying to drink a gallon of water every day. When we sat at the table, he placed it on the ground and it made a distinct thunk. This wasn't exactly sexy. Couldn't he have finished the gallon of water during the day while he was at work? Or abandon the little bit he had left before he goes on a date? He asked if we wanted to relocate and I had largely forgotten about the

[Jared Freid]

gallon of water during dinner, you ready to get up? Puts the gallon over someone bring.

[Jordana Abraham]

I'm trying to think. What, you think it's worse to bring a gallon of water to a date or like a like checked size luggage?

[Jared Freid]

Check size luggage.

[Jordana Abraham]

It's worse.

[Jared Freid]

Ah, no. At least you're aspirational. At least you might be going somewhere.

[Jordana Abraham]

You might going somewhere cool.

[Jared Freid]

Came from somewhere great. A jug of water. It's like, sorry to ruin your macros, dude.

[Jordana Abraham]

However, when we were walking down third, instead of holding my hand, he was swinging the gallon back and forth and I could hear the water swishing around. I was so icked out. When we were sitting at a table at the next place, he kept picking up the gallon of water and taking sips. Just ask for a water like a normal person.

[Jared Freid]

Well then he wouldn't have the measure.

[Jordana Abraham]

He wouldn't get the track. It's like the Apple watch right after the swinging and swishing and drinking from it in a public space that had had its own running water, I couldn't recover. So what do you guys say? Icky or picky that A guy brings 3/4 a 3/4 empty gallon of water on a date? Signed not thirsty enough for this.

[Jared Freid]

It's tough. I just saw. I just did a like a podcast with two bodybuilders and they had a huge job.

[Jordana Abraham]

Rock.

[Jared Freid]

Yeah, I was hanging out with the Rock. Me and the Rock got together every Monday. I don't know if guys want to have sex.

[Jordana Abraham]

Like that's just kind of like I understand the urge to bring the water bottle. Listen, I was someone who used to be obsessed with steps. The 10 I would covet, I was like 10, 000 steps, right? Like I was like very, very.

[Jared Freid]

It becomes one of those things where impulsive, right? And it's like good day, bad day.

[Jordana Abraham]

Right?

[Jared Freid]

Didn't get it right.

[Jordana Abraham]

And I would wear my watch to places I shouldn't wear a watch too just to. So I didn't miss any count of any steps. Crazy looking back but like I get it. But going on a date, you're a guy. I'm just kind of like, wouldn't you realize this is like not going to be some like when this would like lower your chances, right?

[Jared Freid]

I think. Well, there is a little bit. Especially when you meet someone on Hinge and you're going out for drinks. I think this is kind of the boring part of Hinge. I think this is like the problem with dating apps a little bit is like the adventure is so taken from it.

[Jordana Abraham]

Like the excitement.

[Jared Freid]

The excitement, the anything could happen on this date is kind of gone. When you meet on a dating app, when it's like, I'll meet you at 7pm on Thursday, and would you like to go on a date with me? Like, it.

[Jordana Abraham]

Like, there's no will they. Won't they ask? Right, Right.

[Jared Freid]

And there's no will they. Won't they, you know, get a little messy tonight and, you know, hook up?

[Jordana Abraham]

Like. Right.

[Jared Freid]

So maybe, you know, I think it goes all ways. Like, if. If. If you're getting, like, the safety of the app and you're not just, like, meeting someone that you met at a bar before and, hey, let's go on the sexy date, or you're meeting someone out. Like, I think the minute you put on this, like, uniform of the dating app, like this, like, umbrella of the dating app, it kind of, like, translates through the whole thing. So he. Like, it's funny you mentioned, like, come on, he's going on a date. Like, dude, bring it. You could. Anything could happen. But it's like, I've been that guy on a dating app where I'm like,

[Jordana Abraham]

I give up my. My. My stats for this.

[Jared Freid]

Right? Do I want to give up my Tuesday? I'm kind of having grilled chicken. Do I want to drink? Do I want to.

[Jordana Abraham]

But what if he.

[Jared Freid]

Like, this person worth it is a little bit of, like, how people date on those first couple dates.

[Jordana Abraham]

Right.

[Jared Freid]

And it's weird because you're right. Like, you brought a jug on a first date. Like, what if it, like, turned into something awesome? Like, aren't you trying to, like, impress this person? But, like, do you think this is.

[Jordana Abraham]

This would be worse if they met in person and then this was, like, their first date after meeting at, like, a bar or something?

[Jared Freid]

It would. It would be less understandable.

[Jordana Abraham]

Okay.

[Jared Freid]

You know, like, the hinge aspect of it, like, makes me understand.

[Jordana Abraham]

But he wants to go to another bar after, so he clearly thinks the date is going well. Why not toss it then?

[Jared Freid]

No, you can't toss it. He's gonna. Or, like, toss your watch out. Even just, like, watch.

[Jordana Abraham]

Put it in. Or put it in a real bottle. I. I think it would be worse. It's worse that it's not a real water bottle too. No, I'm like, at least dress up your compulsive habit.

[Jared Freid]

The bowling springs bottle is like, what you do when you're trying to, like, be like, this is like, classic muscle bro.

[Jordana Abraham]

Yeah.

[Jared Freid]

Kind of act like this. I understand why, Like, I've seen a dude with a Poland spring.

[Jordana Abraham]

He's like, because like, real water bottles are for like wimps.

[Jared Freid]

No, it's. I think it's a measurement thing. It's like, oh, you just bought a bunch of Costco. I don't know. I. I just. It is. This is not me defending it as much as understanding like the mindset of like, yeah, I gotta go meet this girl before anything can happen it.

[Jordana Abraham]

But not realizing that it might ruin the day. Vibes weird.

[Jared Freid]

I don't think any man thinks that a water bottle is in their way of how great they are. And that's like male confidence. I think, like, would you care. Would I care if a woman had the bottle on the date swing?

[Jordana Abraham]

She try to hold her hand, she puts the water bottle in her.

[Jared Freid]

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. I wouldn't care if we had a fun time. I think I could get beyond.

[Jordana Abraham]

Would you call out it?

[Jared Freid]

Yeah, I would call it. I would make fun of it for the rest of their lives.

[Jordana Abraham]

Right? Like, I think if I could call it out too. He was like a recognized like taking it like it was funny.

[Jared Freid]

I don't think she's being picky if I'm put to. To task. To answer this, I do think it's like low effort. Low effort. And like, am I just checked off of a list of things you had to do today.

[Jordana Abraham]

Like, right.

[Jared Freid]

You couldn't just leave this at home. You didn't make it broke. The water, didn't finish before 6pm you didn't think that. You didn't get it done.

[Jordana Abraham]

Right.

[Jared Freid]

So like two fails today. You didn't finish your water and you didn't loser. Right. Well, I'm just like. It does feel like I'm being like. I can understand someone being like, what the. Like, wasn't this a special night for you? For me? Well, I think we all want to feel special.

[Jordana Abraham]

Yeah. It's a similar thing to like someone wearing like sweatpants and like, I don't know, like not to like not trying on a date.

[Jared Freid]

Right. You're also getting like a window into how, you know, flexible they are. Like, do you have fun or does all fun have to operate around your water intake? You know, like, I know you're on this like strict thing. Oh, it's sober January or whatever the thing you're doing. I'm preparing for a high rocks. Like, that's like another thing you hear a lot now. Like, I'm preparing for a high rocks, which is like, like just the new version of Hyrox. Hyrox is like the new version of CrossFit. Same douche, different workout. Similar workout enough. Same type of person. Like, are you able to fit me in around this thing that you're doing? I can understand being like, ah, this is a pretty regimented person that isn't really up for, like, the fun and adventure that I'm looking for.

[Jordana Abraham]

We're not that into you.

[Jared Freid]

Right.

[Jordana Abraham]

I once said no to a guy asking me on a date because I was doing a juice cleanse. And it was because I didn't really want to go out with him that badly.

[Jared Freid]

I mean, I've had that. I've been on dates with women that they were like, like, let's go on a date. And then it's like, okay, well, it's gonna be coffee. And like, I, you know, after I was like, how about this place? How about this place? Well, I've decided to stop drinking now. Like, you know, you know, like today. Like, you know, like, so I get to deal, you know, I, I, you know, I get the.

[Jordana Abraham]

No, but don't you do coffee dates now?

[Jared Freid]

I do. I, but I, you know, I could go on a coffee day. I, I go, I, I think anyone can go on a coffee day and have a fun time. Like, I just.

[Jordana Abraham]

Maybe that's what they were thinking though.

[Jared Freid]

Yeah, I should have her.

[Jordana Abraham]

Hey, I just Venmoed you for rent.

[Jared Freid]

[Jared Freid]

Yeah. J and J. Big fan, longtime listener. Congrats to Both of you on huge life milestones. We need the modern mystic back to reflect on how well things turned out.

[Jordana Abraham]

We should. Kelly.

[Jared Freid]

Kelly Knight.

[Jordana Abraham]

Yes.

[Jared Freid]

I'm a 34 year old woman. I've been on a GLP1 for weight loss since January. I would consider my relationship to weight in my body similar to how Jared talks about himself. Okay, so you love yourself. I have yo yoed my whole life and finally I'm excited to feel like I have something I can control and see results. It's also something I've been insecure about and I'm seeing my confidence return. I'm also dating and trying to figure out how to balance with the effects of the GLP1s. I can get extreme alcohol version version. And one drink is a lot of time. Most I can do maybe two. Also yesterday I went on a first date after taking my shot in the morning. We went to a street fest and then got food and ice cream. I had one drink at the fest and then shut it down. We went to an Asian place for dinner where you order at the counter and they bring to you. We decided to split some things and I was barely able to eat. I felt a little awkward about it, but not but tried not to draw attention and he didn't seem to mind. Then we went to get ice cream which I this guy doesn't stop. This is like today. I called the hotel lobby and I was like, hey, do you guys have like laundry at the hotel? And this woman was like, hi, thank you for calling the lobby. And I go, hey, oh, have you staben. Well, I go, I'm looking for the laundry. They go, well the laundry, we do have laundry, but not in house. It is sent out and it has to get there before 9am or you can't do the laundry. I'm looking at my clock, it's like 8:50. She goes, so if you would like the laundry, we can start with that. And I'm going, shut the back up. I need to get it in. I hear you. Like, come on, shut up. She could be. She kept going. She's like, and on Wednesdays we offer a different type of laundry service. I'm like, it's 9:00am Okay, I get it. Like this woman's on the date. She's like, yeah, I guess we'll do Asian food. And how about some ice cream and then a sundae and then a milkshake and then how about we have another beer?

[Jordana Abraham]

And then she's like, Ben Stiller. And along came Paul.

[Jared Freid]

This is totally the same thing. So my question is. Oh. Then went to ice cream, which I had suggested before. We got dinner and I ordered one scoop, but again, I could barely eat more than a few bites. I tried to hide how much I ate because again, I was a little too embarrassed. So my question is, how do I deal with the effects of GLP1s in the future while balancing dating dynamics that often revolve around eating and drinking? I don't want to bring it up yet to dates because truthfully, barely any of my friends know and I'm private about it.

[Jordana Abraham]

It.

[Jared Freid]

I also don't want to come off like a wet blanket on dates, especially when he is paying. I should note on my date, he paid for drinks and dinner earlier than I offered to buy the ice cream. But to try and to take some of the pressure off as a gesture for a man, if a woman didn't eat on the date, would that be a red flag? Especially if he's paying. Anyways, curious for your thoughts, particularly Jared, since I know you're starting it too and figured others could relate since this is a new drug and I'm sure more are trying. Thanks for all you do. We'll go V Dating woes. What do we think?

[Jordana Abraham]

I like this question.

[Jared Freid]

Great question.

[Jordana Abraham]

Question. Definitely interested to hear your take.

[Jared Freid]

Yeah.

[Jordana Abraham]

Because you were, you had been. Were you dating when you were on.

[Jared Freid]

I was dating.

[Jordana Abraham]

Like, had you been on dates while on it?

[Jared Freid]

A couple.

[Jordana Abraham]

Okay. Did you feel like.

[Jared Freid]

No conscious about it. I'm out there with it. I'm on it.

[Jordana Abraham]

Yeah, you start it right.

[Jared Freid]

Like right away to me. No. Yeah. I, I'm on a, I'm on a GLP1. I think it's like Alcoholics Anonymous. I don't give a. I, I. Yeah, I'm Jared. I think, I think the I, I, I can relate to the shame because when people say it's a vulnerable thing to say, it's a vulnerable to say any drug you're on. You know, I think of it like ADD medication. I don't think of it as a vanity medication. I think of it as like a, a lifestyle medication.

[Jordana Abraham]

Yeah.

[Jared Freid]

But that's me trying to change the tune. Hopefully me saying this here helps in some small way, but I, I think the vanity element of it has been overplayed. Like it is such a, it's a day changer for me. Like the being able to like live a life without food on my mind.

[Jordana Abraham]

Do you feel like because you look at it like what's, let's say you were just using it for vanity.

[Jared Freid]

I Mean, I am part of it. Vanity is a part of it. But I'm saying, like, I don't, I think it's a whole lifestyle thing. You know, I want to fit in my pants while also not sitting there. You know, I lost ten pounds very quickly on it and then leveled off and I lost the 10 pounds without trying to lose 10 pounds. I've never done that in my life. Like, and it was like taking away extracurricular eating, not eating that I enjoy doing. Like, I don't, I kind of don't see what, like, what, maybe she's on too high a setting a dosage. You know, maybe that's worth thinking about because I never got sick from like I was eating.

[Jordana Abraham]

I also think everyone probably reacts differently, right?

[Jared Freid]

Everyone reacts. And here's the other thing. So I, I don't know, but I can't tell her how to feel. She says she's not, doesn't feel comfortable divulging this. I, I also think she's noticing how much she's eating more than anyone would on a date with her.

[Jordana Abraham]

I agree with that. I don't think anyone's like, looking at how much you're eating.

[Jared Freid]

The only time I did date someone who was on it that wouldn't tell me. And I, I, after a, it took me a while to feel that.

[Jordana Abraham]

Right.

[Jared Freid]

And I felt that it was a we for me. It felt like we weren't getting intimate because I wasn't getting let into that part of their life. It was way different than, oh my God, I'm wasting all this money. It wasn't like George Costanza with the woman who was, you know, purging in the bathroom. You know, like, that was a whole Seinfeld episode. I didn't ever felt that I was wasting money or time. I was just happy to be out with them.

[Jordana Abraham]

Right.

[Jared Freid]

But I did feel the only version that was a negative to me was, you're not letting me into your life. And I don't think we're getting to know each other.

[Jordana Abraham]

I think it's harder for a woman to say it than a man.

[Jared Freid]

True, I could understand that.

[Jordana Abraham]

I think there's like a little bit more of like a, like, you know, looks based societal pressure to that. So I can understand why she's like, I don't want to like, just like tell someone that that feels maybe more intimate to her than it would be to you.

[Jared Freid]

No, I, listen, I'd admit to that. I, I, I'm giving my perspective.

[Jordana Abraham]

I, I don't think he notices. I agree with you, I don't think.

[Jared Freid]

Right.

[Jordana Abraham]

It sounds like it's affecting the way that she acts, which is the more important thing, I think, for. It sounds like she's kind of, like, getting anxious about it, and maybe, like, I think the. The. I think she would feel more free if she just said it right.

[Jared Freid]

Well, you know, it's funny. Food's a crutch no matter what. Like, she's realizing the crutch of food that she was using. You know, like, she'd go on these dates, and she'd probably have all these things before, and maybe that was, like, kind of a way of getting through the date, you know, even if you didn't want that food. Like, you're not even. The whole thing I've noticed with the GLP1 is, like, I'm more in touch with my stomach. Like, I, I. I, like, know when I'm full.

[Jordana Abraham]

Responsive to, like, hunger cues. Yeah.

[Jared Freid]

Yeah. And, like, also just, like, I have a. You know, they used to say, well, maybe you're thirsty. That's why you feel hungry. And so I would drink water, and I'd still be like, well, no, I'm gonna eat everything in this. No, I have. Drink water.

[Jordana Abraham]

Yeah.

[Jared Freid]

And I go, oh, I was just thirsty. Like, so that. That's like a. That feels great to not know. But then I have breakfast, and I go, I'm done. I'm not, like, thinking of having the cookie while I'm eating the bagel.

[Jordana Abraham]

Right.

[Jared Freid]

Which feels great. But I'm saying for her, I think, like, now you're realizing the amount you want to eat is, you know, like, I. I don't know. Like, I. I think if you said to him, like, oh, I'm good. I'm so full. I don't think he'd be like, oh, this chick's on the drugs. You know? Like, I don't think.

[Jordana Abraham]

Right. Or like, I can't believe I paid for that whole sandwich and she only ate.

[Jared Freid]

Like, I think she's playing it up again. And I. I'm insecure in that way, too. I would feel the same way.

[Jordana Abraham]

I'm trying to. Yeah, I'm. If you didn't. I know, like, you wouldn't care if someone you were dating on. Especially being on it yourself. Right. But do you think, let's say it was, like, something else that someone was using? Do you think there would be, like, a heroin?

[Jared Freid]

What if it was? I feel like, where. What if it was?

[Jordana Abraham]

I mean, I'm trying to think of something that would affect your, like, behavior. Maybe on the date date, that's like a little bit more vulnerable. Like, I'm on Zoloft. I don't know if that would affect me on a date, except for maybe I'd be, like, in a better mood.

[Jared Freid]

Well, Zoloft, you know, I can understand how someone would not talk about Zoloft.

[Jordana Abraham]

Right.

[Jared Freid]

Like, because the concern being, well, am I with someone who needs that to feel happy?

[Jordana Abraham]

Right. Well, same way with the, the GLP

[Jared Freid]

one, I think a little bit, like, I went to. I guess my brain wouldn't go that way, but, yeah, good, Right. Am I dating someone who. I don't know. Like, the idea that someone would be like, what if they gain back the weight? Like, I, I don't.

[Jordana Abraham]

Vulnerability is like, this is something I struggle with. That's the vulnerability in taking anything right. It's like, right. Or talking about taking anything right.

[Jared Freid]

But I think the right person, it frees you up to talk about it. I would say as the guy who's been across the table from someone who may have been on a GLP one, it, it didn't relate to the date until it related to, like, am I getting to know this person?

[Jordana Abraham]

Right. And that's why I would encourage her to say it, because I also think, like, the person who has a weird reaction to it, probably not a person for you.

[Jared Freid]

It's informative.

[Jordana Abraham]

Yeah.

[Jared Freid]

You know, if I went on dates with, you know, you know, Emily, if I went on dates with her and she was like, what the. Really? You need that?

[Jordana Abraham]

Right. That would be.

[Jared Freid]

If she was like, you look fine,

[Jordana Abraham]

she wouldn't be the person for you.

[Jared Freid]

Someone who didn't get it.

[Jordana Abraham]

That's what I'm saying.

[Jared Freid]

You don't need it. You look fine. Like, whenever someone says you don't need it, you look fine. I'm always like, oh, they don't get it.

[Jordana Abraham]

Right. I don't want to look fine.

[Jared Freid]

No, I want to look. I want to look sexy. I want to look great. No, I, I, But I mean, like, but it's so much more than that to me.

[Jordana Abraham]

Right.

[Jared Freid]

As a, as a drug. I mean, my parents don't get it.

[Jordana Abraham]

Aren't they on it?

[Jared Freid]

They're on it. My dad's. They're on it. And they, but they think of it as only a vanity drug. And I think that that's. I think them and I have arguments about it, you know, like.

[Jordana Abraham]

Right.

[Jared Freid]

Like, I, I lost 10. And my, my mom goes, did you go to the doc? I went to the doctor. And she goes, did they up it up?

[Jordana Abraham]

What like, the.

[Jared Freid]

The dosage. And I go, no. They said, good job. You lost ten pounds. That's what a normal person says to someone who lost ten pounds. Not, did you get more drugs, Right, So you could lose more? I have a video on my phone of me taping the nurse and going, tell my parents I don't need more GLP1. And the nurse is laughing. She's like, you look fine.

[Jordana Abraham]

Oh, my God.

[Jared Freid]

And the nurse is going, jerry, he doesn't need it. And my dad goes, she doesn't know what she's talking about.

[Jordana Abraham]

Oh, my God. You're like the male version of the oversharing listener who wrote in that her mother came to her pregnancy appointment with her and asked the doctor if she was getting too much weight. It.

[Jared Freid]

Oh, my God. Yeah, listen, that person and I.

[Jordana Abraham]

How much does she weigh?

[Jared Freid]

Is that my sister? Yeah. All right, well, we solve dating again.

[Jordana Abraham]

We did it. We will be back next week. Thank you guys, for listening. Bye.
