It’s Chit Chat Wednesday, and Jared is joined by comedian Courtney  Maginnis, whose special White Noise is streaming on YouTube! They dive into everything from music debates in relationships to the quirks of dating white rappers. Courtney shares hilarious stories about her own musical mismatches and how couples therapy even helped her and her husband navigate their love for Van Halen versus Rihanna. Jared admits he’s not a “music person” and explores how music tastes can shape relationships—whether it’s bonding over yacht rock or surviving a Phish concert. Plus, hear about Courtney’s podcast, I Love You, But Your Music Sucks, and why it’s all about learning to appreciate each other’s playlists.

They dive into the post-Covid performance boom, discussing how live shows have reached new heights and why pop music is dominating the airwaves. From nostalgic hits to meaningless earworms, they unpack what makes music and live entertainment so captivating right now.

The conversation shifts to football fandom as Courtney shares her passion for the sport, her brother’s role as a coach, and how rooting for the Washington Commanders has finally become fun again. Jared adds his perspective as a Patriots fan, sparking a chat about the ups and downs of sports loyalty and the communal drama of being a fan.

Courtney also opens up about her first comedy special, White Noise, now streaming on YouTube! She reflects on the bittersweet process of letting go of material and the challenges of editing a special. Jared and Courtney trade insights on how stand-up is evolving in a world increasingly driven by social media and marketing, while staying true to their craft.

Don’t miss their candid discussion on family, politics, and finding common ground—plus a glimpse into a joke Courtney wishes she had more time to perfect!
