HeyJaredBreaking Curfew
Breaking Curfew takes you back to growing up in the 80s and 90s, when freedom came with scraped knees and consequences. We talk streetlights, unsupervised summers, VHS tapes, landlines, and the stuff we probably shouldn’t have been doing. It’s not a history lesson.

When Fast Food Was An Event (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before food delivery apps, self-service kiosks, and ordering everything from your phone... going out for fast food was an EVENT. In this episode of Breaking Curfew, we're taking a trip back to the days when McDonald's, Pizza Hut, Burger King, and the local pizza joint weren't just places to grab a quick bite. They were destinations. Places where birthdays happened, friendships were made, and a simple family dinner could turn into the highlight of your entire week. We talk about the excitement of
Bowling: From League Nights to Cosmic Lights (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Remember when a bowling alley had a smell you could recognize before you even walked through the door?

Sleepovers & Basement Energy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before group chats, online gaming, and staying connected from separate houses, there was the sleepover. And somebody’s basement was usually headquarters. In this episode of Breaking Curfew , we head downstairs to the wood-paneled, slightly damp world where some of the best nights of childhood happened. Sleeping bags thrown across the floor, cold pizza, stale Doritos, warm two-liters of generic soda, video games, movies, and absolutely no intention of actually going to sleep. We talk about that u
Music Discovery Before Streaming (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before Spotify, before playlists built by algorithms, before every song ever recorded was sitting in your pocket... finding new music took some work.

Taking a chance on an album because the cover looked cool. Trusting a record label because everything they released seemed to hit. Or hearing one song some
The First Real Responsibility (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before jobs, before driver's licenses, before paying bills... there was your first real responsibility. In this episode of Breaking Curfew , we look back at what it meant to be a latchkey kid. Walking home from school with a house key on a shoelace around your neck or tucked away in your backpack. Unlocking the front door, locking it behind you, and suddenly being responsible for yourself until your parents got home. We talk about the unspoken rules that every latchkey kid seemed to know.
