He kicks off the episode with his complaint, then dives into listener gripes: from the Delta One Lounge failing to serve almond milk (the Beyoncé of alt-milks), to flavorless adult medicine that feels like swishing around “diarrhea water.” There's also a burrito shrinking crisis sweeping the nation and a business trip horror story featuring a co-worker's husband who keeps picking up tabs, then demanding repayment like it's a debt.

Jared breaks down how to end things gracefully and preserve your social standing. Then: a babysitter writes in after her tatted, jacked employer (read: hot single dad) asks her out for dinner and a swim, without the kid.
