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 be real, is like navigating a maze of awkward encounters and confusing texts. Jake brings up dating apps, which have somehow become a breeding ground for hookups and situationships, and wonders aloud why it seems like everyone is allergic to the idea of actual relationships. With his hopeless romantic heart on his sleeve, Jake explains how chasing that fairytale love on apps is basically a self-inflicted emotional rollercoaster, complete with disappointment and just a hint of rage. He goes deep into why the current dating culture could spell trouble for long-term relationships in the future. Tune in to today’s episode for Jake’s hilarious take on dating, along with some real talk and solid advice!thank you so much for watching, I love you!✨💓Personal Instagram: jakepatrick_Podcast Instagram: fruityandmoodyy X Podcast Profile: FruityandMoodyyFruity and Moody is also available to watch on YouTube!

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 way more about your personality than you’d expect. Spoiler alert: there’s a psychological theory here. He also dives into the bizarre dynamics of these shows—like why every younger sibling seemed to have a PhD in torturing their older sibling, why parents always had weird jobs (seriously, what was Mrs. Knight’s gig?), and why every episode felt like a fever dream. But wait, there’s more—Jake also gets into why he couldn’t care less about visiting huge landmark places like the Eiffel Tower and why, in a totally unrelated story, he may have been naked on a jet ski getting chased by the police. Tune in for a blend of nostalgia, deep dives, and maybe even a few lighthearted rants. It’s the fun you didn’t know you needed today!thank you for listening, I love youuu! ✨🫶🏽Personal insta: jakepatrick_Podcast insta: fruityandmoodyy Fruity and Moody is also available to watch on YouTube!

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 his hot 50-year-old gym crush, including the latest drama (hint: it’s not exactly going in his favor).

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-so-glamorous vaping problem. Then, hold onto your seat as Jake reveals his complete inability to grasp basic science—he's convinced a pharmacist job could be learned in an afternoon (spoiler: it can’t). But that’s not all; Jake also discusses his strange obsession with Red 40 (it’s a miracle he’s still standing) and gives his thoughts on Kelly Osbourne’s purple mohawk, which might just be the most shocking thing he's seen in quite some time. Yeah, this episode’s basically a circus inside Jake’s head—chaotic, unpredictable, and totally entertaining. Tune in to listen to the wildest ride through Jake’s brain—no seatbelt required, but maybe a sense of humor!thank you so much for listening, I love ya’ll!✨💖Personal Instagram: @jakepatrick_Podcast Instagram: @fruityandmoodyyFruity and Moody also available to watch on YouTube!

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 alert, is not fun in the slightest. He breaks down what it really is, how it can mess with your mind when life feels like it’s constantly shifting gears, and why it can be so much harder to cope than anyone realizes. Drawing from his own personal battles with this tricky condition, Jake shares how it’s affected him over the years, how to accept it (no, you’re not crazy), and most importantly, how to take control back when it feels like life is running the show. Tune in for a blend of insights, practical advice, and a few laughs—because let’s face it, sometimes humor is the best way to cope! thank you so much for listening, I love ya’ll✨🫶🏽💖Personal Instagram: jakepatrick_Podcast Instagram: fruityandmoodyy Podcast also available to watch on YouTube!

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.

Jake’s here to break down exactly how this jaw-dropping interaction went down, how he clocked the man’s shady vibes, and what it felt like to be that guy’s “side hustle” for a hot minute. But that’s not all—Jake’s also sharing some hard-earned wisdom on how to get back at an ex partner that did you dirty (spoiler: crashing out is not the answer). And just when you thought it couldn't get juicier, Jake gives us a peek behind the curtain of his new college life, his ongoing war with nicotine (shoutout to his crippling addiction), and why he now feels like a hypocrite to all those people he used to preach at about not vaping. It’s a wild ride—grab your popcorn, because today’s episode is serving all the tea, and then some!thank you so much for listening, I love yall✨💖Personal Instagram: @jakepatrick_Podcast Instagram: @fruityandmoodyyFruity and Moody also available to watch on YouTube!

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 man who thought it was a good idea to try and read Jake to filth. Oh, honey, did he pick the wrong guy.
