Jared Freid Brings Family Trauma, Candy Takes and Chaos to Yamaneika
It’s Thursday, which means Yamaneika Saunders has another brand sparkling new episode of You’re The Problem… with Yamaneika.
This week she welcomes fellow comedian Jared Freid, and naturally the conversation gets personal fast.
The episode — “Pick-Me’s, Nerds, and Nonsensical N****s with Jared Freid” — starts with Yamaneika confronting her own pick-me past and tearing through the week’s nonsense before Freid arrives to help turn the back half into a mix of family trauma, comedy and listener-problem therapy.
Freid joins around the 18:45 mark to unpack some of the parental baggage behind his Netflix special The Family Plan. From there, things get delightfully less serious: he defends Nerds Gummy Clusters, jumps into Yamaneika’s listener letters and helps decide who exactly is thee problem.
The show itself is the first original podcast from Chelsea Handler’s Dear Chelsea Network, created with iHeartPodcasts. Yamaneika and her producer/voice of reason Tyree use each episode to work through pop culture, politics, celebrity nonsense, dating disasters and whatever else deserves to be put on trial that week.
It is exactly the kind of pairing the show is built for: two comics, zero interest in pretending family dysfunction is not funny, and enough side quests to make the whole thing feel like hanging out rather than sitting through an interview.
