Fruity and Moody

In today's episode, Therapist Jake is back with yet another therapy session — because, honestly, who doesn't need a little more of Jake in their life? This time, he kicks things off with a real thinker: "Can you be friends with your ex?" Spoiler alert: Jake has some strong opinions on that. But don't worry, he quickly dives into the main course of the episode—the dating world today, which, let's b...

In today’s episode, Jake is taking you on a wild ride down memory lane, and trust us, it’s the road you want to be on. He’s getting into his hot takes on the classic shows that defined our childhoods—iCarly, Drake & Josh, Zoey 101, and, of course, the one everyone’s still talking about, Big Time Rush! Jake spills the tea on which BTR band member was his favorite and argues that your pick says...

In today’s episode, things are about to get *real* interesting. Jake sits down to share the wild story of a recent encounter with an older woman who, let’s just say, made her intentions very clear—spoiler alert: she wanted to take him home. Yes, we’re serious. No, we’re not making this up. And if you think that’s the most scandalous part of the episode, think again—Jake also spills the latest on h...

In today’s episode, Jake is back, and let me tell you, it’s been a *wild* two weeks. After battling the dark abyss of online self-comparison and wondering why he can’t just be happy with his situation (classic twentysomething stuff), Jake’s here to get real with you about what he’s been going through. If you’ve found yourself stuck in that never-ending loop of negativity, don’t worry—you’re not al...

In today’s episode, Jake throws a party, tackling literally every topic under the sun. After last week’s more somber episode, Jake’s in a much better mood, fresh off a weekend with his girls (and no, that doesn't mean "girls" like his houseplants, we mean actual humans). He starts by talking about his tragic allergy to cats (it’s like they’re personally out to get him) before diving into his not-s...

In today’s episode, Jake’s had a rough time adjusting. After six weeks of sun, fun, and pure relaxation in Texas, he’s back home, starting a new school, and diving headfirst into the whirlwind of daily life. And let’s be real: for someone who’s not exactly a fan of change, it’s been a bit of a rude awakening. Jake sits down to talk about his experience with adjustment disorder, which, spoiler aler...

In today’s episode, Jake is diving into a first-time-ever experience that’ll have you questioning everything you thought you knew about dating apps. Picture this: A MARRIED MAN—yes, you heard that right—slides into Jake’s DMs on Hinge, while still living the suburban dream with his wife and kids at home. Jake’s here to break down exactly how this jaw-dropping interaction went down, how he clocked...

In today’s episode, Jake is officially filming in front of his shiny new podcast setup! And, as any Charli XCX fan would say (and, duh, Jake is one), it’s SO BRAT. He’s totally unscripted today, just letting his mind run wild and talking about whatever comes to him. He’s covering everything from Tinder allegedly trying to ban him (he's definitely not salty, we swear) to his very first hate comment...

In today’s episode of the podcast, Jake is finally back in his New York apartment after a grueling 24-hour trek from Texas—and let’s just say, it wasn’t all sunshine and road trips. He sits down to talk about the chaos that was his journey, including getting stuck in a snowstorm so bad it nearly turned into a real-life disaster movie for him and his bestie, Jess. In these moments of crisis, what d...

In today’s episode, we’re combining a little life advice with a deep dive into very cringey territory. Join Jake as he takes you down memory lane—except, plot twist, this lane is less "nostalgic" and more "why did I ever think this was a good idea?" From his awkward childhood and teenage phases to the downright bizarre stages of his life that probably should’ve stayed locked in the vault, Jake is...

In today’s episode, Jake is stepping into his finest therapist role—except this time, he's cosplaying as your dating app guru! With everyone communicating through screens these days, it sometimes feels like we’re all just sending meta-messages instead of actually meeting up in person. And let’s be real—Jake’s seen it all. After dealing with enough awful men to fill a whole season of a reality dati...

In today’s episode, war is officially over, and so is Jake’s dating dry spell. After a whole year of just one date (we’re not counting the pizza guy), Jake is back in the game and ready to spill the juicy details of his first date of 2025. And guess what? He met his potential suitor on none other than the very Christian app Grindr. Yes, you heard that right. Grindr, where holy connections are made...

In today’s episode of The Fruity and Moody Podcast, Jake is back at it again with one of his favorite hobbies: complaining. And when we say complaining, we mean a full-on, theatrical rant that could rival any Broadway performance. Now, you might remember last week when Jake swore off talking about men—well, spoiler alert: he lied. This week’s episode is all about men. Specifically, a 41-year-old m...

In today’s episode, Jake is channeling full-on storyteller/therapist energy as he dives into the mysterious world of long-term relationships. He’s giving us all the wisdom—well, as much as one person can give after a few years of trial and error—and he’s here to walk you through what it’s like to take that first big step into long-term love. From the importance of self-love (because let’s face it,...

In today’s episode, Jake takes us on a wild ride down memory lane as he recounts his very first date with a man—an evening that’s about as far from a classic “dinner and a movie” as you can get. Picture this: a casual drive, a trip to a park, and the thrill of a little spooky night air. Sounds harmless enough, right? Well, throw in the fact that it's pitch black outside, the park is right next to...

In today’s episode, Jake is opening up about his coming out story—a classic tale that anyone in the LGBTQ+ community will probably relate to, but with a twist. Picture this: awkward phases, bizarre realizations, and an epiphany that wasn’t exactly “Eureka!” but more like a slow-motion train wreck of self-discovery. Jake takes you through the rollercoaster of emotional vulnerability, from grappling...

In today’s episode, well, let’s just say Jake covers quite a bit of ground—both literally and figuratively. One of the highlights? He stumbles across a TikTok about cruising (and for the love of all things sacred, we’re not talking about *Tom Cruise* here, folks—Google it). This leads Jake to recount a near-miss experience of almost being cruised at the gym. Yep, you heard that right. Gym equipmen...

In today’s episode, well folks, you saw the title, so you know what you're in for. Yes, this is going to be a very *gay*, very *hookupy* storytime, and no, we’re not holding back. Jake takes us back three years to a fateful night at a gay nightclub in the one and only, iconic state capital, Austin, Texas. Picture this: a dark, pulsating club, the faint smell of tequila and glitter in the air, and...
