Summary

It’s Chit Chat Wednesday, and Jared is coming to you from Bloomington, Indiana, with comedian and friend Brendan Sagalow. They dive right in by roasting each other’s podcast names (is “SAG Daddy Da Pod” genius or insane?)😂 and debating the day Brendan will finally quit podcasting, Lennon-style, from a Disney resort. The two riff on the bizarre power of internet trolls, the thin line between influencer fame and hate-watching, and why Brendan’s special Thin Lips opens with a rap video that’s both hilarious and mildly threatening. They also get into the weird world of TikTok “positivity” creators, the saga of the cheating CEO on the kiss cam, and what it would take to redeem your public image after a viral scandal (hint: coach youth hockey and grow a beard). Of course, there’s a game of “Would You Rather?” involving ill-fitting underwear, bad dinners, and farting on planes. It’s equal parts comedy, chaos, and real talk about surviving online in 2025!
