It’s Mailbag Monday and Jared is helping listeners with some advice! First, a guy from the past came back, took her on the best date she has had in a long time, and then pulled the “friend” line. She wants to know if her read on the situation makes sense. Next, a listener is back on the apps and needs help figuring out which prompts actually make someone swipe right. And finally, someone keeps getting involved with men who only want something casual, including one who found her number through a credit card mix-up, and she wants to know how to stop this pattern.

Jared kicks off a Thanksgiving Pop Culture Thursday with a parade lineup he doesn’t recognize and a float that somehow manages to disappoint him more than Conan Gray confusion. He digs into the wild “gay sheep wool” fashion collection and why it reads like something a furious dad would yell at his theater-kid son. Plus, he breaks down J.Lo’s $2 million wedding gig and wonders what it would cost to drag himself to a billionaire party. And finally, Jared reacts to some celeb-adjacent rumors that make him feel approximately 142 years old! Come see Jared live! 👉 jaredfreid.com
