Editing Jared (section)

==Trivia==

* Jared grew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
* The first game Jared ever played was Ladybug for the Colecovision.
* Jared's personal game collection consists of over 20 handhelds and over 30 consoles.
* Jared used to take part in professional archery.
* The name "Jared" originated from Jared one day coming home from work in his now normal black dress pants and blue shirt. He had gone out with friends in that same outfit and one of his friends had asked him "Why you gotta dress Jared all the time?" and for some reason, it stuck with Jared.
* In mid-early-September 2015, Jared had a guest appearance on the [[Nickelodeon]] show ''Game Shakers'', in which he advertised a mobile app called Sky Whale. He admitted he thought the show was stupid but didn't regret having the experience of being on TV.
*Speculation lead people to believe that Jared had relations with [[WeCrowingHens|Holly Conrad]] while she was still married to [[GameGrumps|Ross O'Donovan]], concluding it to be the reason behind Ross and Holly's divorce. The parties involved have said that this is false. This misconception may have arisen due to how unpublicized Holly and Ross's divorce, and the reasons for it, were.
*While away at PAX 2017 Jared's home at the time sustained very bad water damage as a result of a broken pipe. Not only did Jared and his then-wife Heidi O'Ferrall receive a lot of kind words from fellow YouTubers and fans hoping things get better soon, Jared also encouraged fans to not donate money to him, instead urging them to donate money to the victims of the 2017 hurricane season. His fans came through for him and Heidi anyway. Apparently his audience mass-rewatched his content so heavily that it caused a viewership spike in his metrics (and thus, much-needed YouTube monetization revenue).
