Jared checks in from Los Angeles for Mailbag Monday, hiccup and all, and dives into two juicy advice emails. First up, a 33-year-old New Yorker ditched Pilates for a regular gym to meet men, and Jared gently argues for joy over geography: build community where you actually like being, then let that tribe expand your dating world. He still tosses a couple of easy openers for gym-floor small talk, but the real play is Pilates night out and friend-of-a-friend intros. Next, a 25-year-old worries her boyfriend fails “dad 101” because he won't scoot over in bed and forgets the dog's water bowl, and Jared reframes it as pre-engagement nerves and a negotiation problem, not a morality play. Use “I” statements, trade lists, and aim for partnership instead of courtroom wins. If you've got dating drama, family friction, or friendship static, send it in and let Jared give it the thoughtful once-over!New Factor customers get 50% off your first box, plus free breakfast for 1 year.

Georgia's 2026 Senate race just got a major jolt. The AJC's Greg Bluestein and Tia Mitchell analyze Governor Brian Kemp's full-throated endorsement of Derek Dooley, delivered at a hometown UGA tailgate. They explore why Kemp is betting on the political newcomer, how Dooley's football past is shaping his campaign, and why critics say he still lacks a clear pitch to voters. The hosts also examine Buddy Carter's latest Trump-focused ad, Mike Collins' strategy, and what the scramble for Donald Trump's endorsement could mean for Republicans vying to unseat Democrat Jon Ossoff.

On this edition of the Autzen Audibles Podcast, Matt Prehm and Erik Skopil open up the mailbag for the first time in a long time to answer questions built around the Ducks' 2025 season and their upcoming season-opening game against Montana State this Saturday. Matt and Erik discuss what can people expect to see on Saturday and how we'd view the game in a successful light, what position group has the most to prove for Oregon week one, if the Ducks won't truly know how good they are until Week five of this season, and then our thoughts on the Oregon offense and if they're getting away from the run game or not. All that and a lot more is discussed on this edition of the Autzen Audibles Podcast!

It's Mailbag Monday, and Jared is diving into your dating dilemmas with the precision of a gossip surgeon. First up, a listener had a promising Hinge date lined up, until she sent the “we should probably cancel” text upon realizing he's a recent ex of her friend. Did the ex wave her off, or is this just modern dating's efficiency mode kicking in? Then, a post-volleyball romance that's stuck in the Thursday-night-after-the-game loop, with zero movement toward a real plan. Jared breaks down why “make a plan and I'm in” should be your new mantra, and why vague dating purgatory is the enemy of progress. Plus, a few tangents, some travel gripes, and the occasional unsolicited Woody Allen quote!Support the show, and get 10% off your Hero Bread order.
