Jared Freid welcomes comedian Shaun Murphy to Chit Chat Wednesday for a wide-ranging hang that covers stand-up life, dating, body image, nerd culture, and what happens when your comedy special includes a joke about your own skinny dick. Shaun talks about his new YouTube special Long Story Thin, growing up in Buffalo, balancing sports fandom with nerd energy, and navigating family, relationships, and confidence on stage. The two dig into watching other comedians, staying relatable when success hits, Ozempic, cookie rankings (Tate’s truthers unite), Star Wars vs Harry Potter, and why Andor might actually be the best show ever made. Plus, Jared puts Shaun through a “Nerd or Not a Nerd” game that somehow connects Zelda, Buffalo Bills trauma, and comedy authenticity.

Jared’s in Dallas for Ticked Off Tuesday, hyping the Patreon (where the real complaints jump the line) and kicking things off with two everyday rants: gas stations that “label” broken pumps with a sad little piece of tape, and a new apartment with shower pressure so weak it turns bathing into a light misting. Then the listeners come in hot: one new homeowner gets hounded by the same window company so aggressively it goes from annoying to genuinely creepy, and she needs a go-to line for the dreaded “do you live alone?” question. Another duo tries to relive their Boston glory days with a casual early dinner… and discovers the city has apparently gone “velvet rope + reservation-only bar stools,” sending them on a scavenger hunt. We also get a property-line showdown (dogs, poop, and a kid sledding on someone else’s lawn), plus a grad-school friend feud where a former friend gets drunk and affectionate, then goes ice-cold sober. Plenty of petty, plenty of relatable, and just enough chaos to make you grateful you’re not the one dealing with the window guy.

Jared’s in Dallas for Mailbag Monday, pitching shows, his Walking Red Flag book, and his favorite pastime: giving brutally honest advice to strangers with zero eye contact. First up: a listener stacks two Hinge dates back-to-back, shows up late to date #2, and the text thread takes a turn that’s equal parts awkward and hilarious. Then things get real when a “perpetual girlfriend” realizes she wants marriage… and her boyfriend very much does not. Finally, we hop over to Portugal/Ireland for a long-distance romance that felt amazing for one weekend, but might be moving a little too fast, so what’s the move before she moves home? Expect travel chaos, dating math, and Jared’s signature “I’m not saying it’s bad, but…” energy.
