Here there be blue bashing, primal parenting, and mushy moments. And Jared does not rap.

Ep. 8 - Chuck vs Jared

"I'm an introvert so I shouldn't host, right?" Don't be fooled by their gregarious, boisterous exterior - Chuck and Jared are introverts at heart.

Ep. 7 - How to Host as an Introvert

Here there be pizza redemption, improvised cooling, and beverage betrayal. And Jared gets back to his roots.

Here there be hidden clothing caches, dope techno magic tricks, and fruit foraging at a moments' notice. And Jared raps.

Ep. 4 - Kick It Up a Notch

We've all felt at times that we can't have people over because we don't have a huge house or can't splurge on the finest foods.

And Jared slow-jams.
