0:00What's going on everybody?

0:01It's episode 581 of the Genius Life.

0:04Let's rock!

0:23What up, everybody?

0:24Welcome back to another episode of The Genius Life.

0:26I'm your host, Max Lugavir.

0:27Today's guest is Jared Freed.

0:29Jared is a stand-up comedian, host of the J Train podcast, co-host of the You Up podcast, and author of the new book, Walking Red Flag.

0:38This conversation is a little different for us, but in the best way.

0:41It's about dating, relationships, and the strange social experiment we're all now living through, where love, sex, rejection, loneliness, ego, apps, algorithms, and rage bait all somehow collide in the same tiny rectangle we keep in our pockets.

0:54Jared is hilarious, but what makes him such a great guest is that he's also honest.

0:57He doesn't come at dating like a guru or like somebody trying to win a gender war on the internet.
