Summary

Written by a model from the transcript; not yet reviewed.

Jake Shane welcomes back his close friend and fellow actor Owen Thiele to discuss their experiences filming the second season of the comedy series Adults in Toronto, enduring sub-zero temperatures, and writing jokes together. The conversation ranges from bizarre celebrity-adjacent anecdotes and failed romantic escapades to pop culture obsessions like Phoebe Bridgers and Zendaya, before diving into listener-submitted dilemmas about dating app fatigue and roommate friction.

  • When trying to break free from bad roommate living situations or unmanageable lease agreements, finding ways to politely assert boundaries is key. 1:02:42
  • Instead of obsessing over dating apps or going out solely to hunt for a partner, focus on enjoying social outings with friends. 1:08:57
  • When dealing with extreme room temperatures at someone else's house, remember that layering clothing is far more effective than trying to endure the heat. 1:12:14
  • Rather than getting defensive during interpersonal conflicts, lean into validating personal feelings by framing statements around emotional vulnerability. 56:32
