On this Chit Chat Wednesday, Jared sits down with comedian Lukas Zelnick for a hilariously chaotic hang where they start as “not-not friends” and immediately bond over tech hiccups and NYC apartment humblebrags. From Soho loft lore and moving-in-with-a-girlfriend growing pains to the weird psychology of being “the rich kid who owns it,” Lukas breaks down how his background became part of his comedy voice. They get into crowd work vs. polished standup, why timing and the internet changed how comics build an audience, and the pressure of putting out a special before you’re ready. Then Jared caps it all off with a rapid-fire “How Rich Are You?” game that spirals into tuxes, oysters, college allowances, and one extremely rich older brother reveal. It’s comedian shop talk meets playful roasting, with plenty of NYC energy in between.
