Liza Treyger 's Spicy Wings & Big Breaks - CHIT CHAT WEDNESDAY - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

E

Jared is back for a special Chit Chat Wednesday, and this week he’s joined by comedian Liza Treyger, fresh off the release of her Netflix special Night Owl. They dive right into the wild ride of creating a comedy special — from dealing with creative pressures to staying authentic when the stakes are high. Liza keeps it real, sharing her thoughts on embracing fame (without a personal team to back her up) and why early support from viewers can completely change an artist’s trajectory 🎥🍿 Jared doubles down, explaining why it’s so crucial to hit play early and often with the artist you support. Also share content!Things get hilariously chaotic as they swap stories about handmade party bracelets and spicy food disasters à la Hot Ones. They break down the delicate art of being a good plus-one and navigating awkward guests at comedy events. Liza’s take? Comedians are just sensitive souls who really want people to “act right” 🙃.The conversation takes thoughtful turns too, as they reflect on how jokes hit differently based on lived experiences, outdated ideas of bravery in entertainment, and the importance of keeping passion at the heart of the craft. With witty banter, deep insights, and plenty of laughs, this episode is a must-listen. And seriously — hit play on Night Owl now! 🎤✨Want more JTRAIN?

My husband cheated on me virtually - MONDAY MAILBAG - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

E

In this week’s Mailbag Mondays, host Jared dives into two emotionally charged listener dilemmas that demand his signature blend of humor and honesty. From virtual betrayals to mixed signals in the workplace, Jared is here to break it all down.First up, a listener grapples with the aftermath of discovering her husband’s emotional affair in the virtual reality world. After learning about the betrayal—complete with screen grabs and “I love you” messages—she’s left questioning everything about their marriage. Jared shares thoughtful advice on rebuilding trust, navigating marriage counseling, and figuring out how to stop the obsessive cycle of re-checking and replaying. Can their relationship survive this digital heartache?Then, it’s a tale of workplace flirtation gone cold. A listener met a guy at her job just as he was leaving, took a bold shot in his DMs, and got... an ambiguous response. Is she reading too much into it? Should she shoot her shot one more time or let it go? Jared dissects the psychology of social media follow-backs, modern dating ambiguity, and why some guys just can’t commit to grabbing a drink.Whether it’s navigating marriage post-betrayal or decoding the maddening mind games of dating apps, this episode is packed with Jared’s no-nonsense advice for anyone trying to make sense of modern love.

Group Trip Canceled Because Of Accidental Voice Note! Help! - MONDAY MAILBAG - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

E

Happy (almost) New Year from sunny Boca Raton! 🌴🎉 Jared Freid is kicking off 2025 with a brand-new Mailbag Monday, answering two incredible listener dilemmas that embody everything the JTrain Podcast is all about—honest advice, tough love, and plenty of laughs.First, we meet a listener who booked a 3 week European vacation with her boyfriend of just 4 months. But now she’s having serious second thoughts about their long-term compatibility. With the trip fully paid for by him, she’s torn about whether to go, how to handle the breakup if it happens, and what trip lengths make sense for new relationships. Jared dives deep, offering insights on travel, timing, and when it’s time to move on versus sticking it out.Next, it’s a group chat disaster for the ages! A voice memo intended for a bestie lands in the “birthday weekend cabin trip” group chat instead, spilling the tea on the birthday girl’s friends and the weekend plans. The fallout? The group chat implodes, the trip is canceled, and now the listener is left wondering how to repair her best friend’s birthday and their relationship. Jared breaks down the best strategies to rebuild trust, whether to go heartfelt or funny with the apology, and why group chat etiquette should never involve long voice memos.Along the way, Jared shares updates about his upcoming comedy tour (hello, Portland, Phoenix, and Australia!), what makes the JTrain Podcast a no-days-off operation, and why his perspective on dating and friendships remains unmatched!!This episode is packed with thoughtful advice, hilarious commentary, and Jared’s signature style of tackling tough topics with care.

Hardcore Christmas Traditions with Caitlin Peluffo - CHIT CHAT WEDNESDAY - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

E

It’s Chit Chat Wednesday, and Jared welcomes the endlessly hilarious Caitlin Peluffo to the show! They’re diving into all things holidays, singlehood, and comedy, making this episode the perfect mix of relatable reflections and big laughs.  First up, Caitlin shares what it’s like going home for the holidays as a single adult. Spoiler alert: her family is full-on Christmas obsessed🎄 From Christmas Eve traditions to waking up on Christmas Day, Caitlin paints a vivid picture of what it’s like to grow up in a house that could double as Santa’s workshop. Jared, who’s more of a Christmas casual, listens in awe and gets a newfound appreciation for the magic (and occasional madness) of the holiday season.  They don’t just stop at holiday stories, though. Caitlin and Jared also tackle some real talk about navigating singlehood during family gatherings, the growing trend of freezing eggs, and the subtle (or not-so-subtle) pressures that come from well-meaning relatives this time of year. If you’ve ever had to dodge a “So, when are you settling down?” question over a plate of holiday ham, you’ll feel seen.  On the comedy front, Jared opens up about his experiences with crowd work and dealing with hecklers while on the road recently. Caitlin shares her approach to engaging audiences, and together they explore the balance between owning the stage and handling unexpected moments. If you’re curious about the behind-the-scenes of life as a comedian, this part of the convo is for you  ✨ Bonus: Catch Caitlin performing live this New Year’s Week—she’s an absolute must-see on stage!🎄 Merry Christmas to all, and to all, enjoy this laugh-filled episode! 🎅Also! email your favorite stories to [email protected] or DM the pod on Instagram @jtrainpodcast🎙Upcoming Shows: Portland, Phoenix, and more!

Fixing The NBA Cup, Taylor Swift's Birthday Gifts, Craig & Austen From Southern Charm Open A Bar - POP CULTURE THURSDAY - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

E

Pop Culture Thursday!! In this jam-packed episode, Jared tackles the NBA Cup drama and offers his hilarious ideas on how to make it better. Then, he dives into Taylor Swift's birthday celebrations—what do you get for someone who has it all? Plus, Craig and Austen from Southern Charm open a bar, and Jared has thoughts. Stick around for listener emails, dating dilemmas, and, of course, a luxury lounge segment you don’t want to miss. It’s all the opinions you didn’t know you needed, delivered with Jared’s signature wit and humor!First up, Jared shares his excitement over an article about Craig Conover and Austin Kroll of Southern Charm, who just opened a new bar in Charleston, South Carolina. Jared's longtime friend Keith Benjamin is their partner in this venture, and he takes us down memory lane, sharing stories about their friendship, Keith’s rise in the hospitality world, and how Charleston became Keith’s playground for success. From opening Uptown Social to now co-owning The Cozy Den, Keith’s journey inspires and entertains. Jared even includes an exclusive quote from Keith about the vibe, food, and freezing martinis at their new spot.But the fun doesn’t stop there. Jared gives us his take on the bar’s aesthetic, menu highlights (hello, French onion dip and fox wings), and what makes this bar a must-visit spot. Whether you're planning a bachelor party or just love elevated tavern food, The Cozy Den might be your next destination.Later, Jared switches gears to the world of NYC real estate—well, sort of. Supermodel Gigi Hadid’s recent revelation about dealing with a rat problem in her New York apartment gets Jared talking about the universal woes of NYC living. Whether you're a billionaire or living in a tiny studio, it turns out no one is safe from the city’s infamous rodent invasion.Jared unpacks the latest drama surrounding Vanderpump Rules alum Tom Sandoval. Jared humorously reflects on Sandoval’s inability to escape his cheating reputation, questioning whether the public fight between Sandoval and his girlfriend, Victoria Lee Robinson, is just another ploy to keep his name in the headlines. Jared’s take? “Tiger doesn’t change his stripes—drama is Sandoval’s natural habitat.”Next, Jared turns his sights on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Christmas card, sharing his own amusing tradition of ranking holiday cards with a friend. He critiques the inclusion of their production company, Archewell Productions, on the card, and questions the hype over a “rare photo” of their kids. His candid commentary pokes at the couple’s balancing act between seeking privacy and leveraging their royal titles for public interest.Jared reads about Victoria Beckham clearing up plastic surgery rumors, marveling at how an interview about her nose becomes a full-blown PR moment to plug her contouring skills and beauty line. His lighthearted analysis, paired with witty skepticism, makes for an entertaining exploration of celebrity branding and public image.He dives into Jim Carrey's "retirement" comments and why the internet got it wrong, Timothée Chalamet's bold Bob Dylan-inspired look, and what makes him a showstopper on and off-screen. Then, Jared dissects the PR spectacle around Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's relationship, decoding the art of the perfectly curated boyfriend narrative. Finally, he shares his take on the NBA Cup's declining ratings and why players (and fans) might need a reason to care.Email your favorite stories to [email protected] or DM the pod on Instagram @jtrainpodcast🎙 Upcoming Shows: Batavia, Portland, Phoenix, and more!

Holiday Parties, Foot Tapping, and Mall Hours - TICKED OFF TUESDAY - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

E

It's Ticked Off Tuesday!! Jared channels your frustrations and gives your gripes the spotlight they deserve. Is there something driving you nuts? Something seemingly small, but it’s eating away at your soul? This is the place where your problems matter—no one here will tell you to “chill out” or “look at the bigger picture.”This week, Jared recounts a wild night in Des Moines, Iowa, where holiday party chaos took center stage, and offers his take on why not every party is built for a comedy show. Plus, Jared shares what makes the hustle of stand-up comedy so uniquely frustrating yet rewarding.Want your gripe to be heard? Subscribe to Jared’s Patreon for early access and priority placement on Ticked Off Tuesday. Join the fun, vent your frustrations, and let Jared tell you why you’re absolutely right to be ticked off!Jared dives deep into the trials and tribulations of travel, customer service fails, and holiday chaos. A listener who works in sales qualified for their company's prestigious President's Club trip, but they have zero interest in going. Why? The destination is an obscure coastal European city that takes three flights and 15 hours to reach. Plus, they'd need to pay for childcare for a week just to attend. The listener laments the lack of a cash bonus alternative and struggles to find anyone in real life who will sympathize with their gripe about a "free luxury vacation." Their closing plea? "Why couldn't it be Greece or Italy?"One listener is ticked off that post-pandemic, malls in Austin now open at 11 a.m. instead of 10 a.m. For a busy parent who loves in-person shopping (and avoids the hassle of online returns), this hour difference ruins their limited kid-free time. They argue malls should even open at 9 a.m. to better serve shoppers during the holidays. Bonus complaint: the disappearance of 24-hour stores and restaurants that used to be staples pre-pandemic.Another listener attended the Vienna Boys Choir performance at Carnegie Hall, only to be distracted by the woman next to them tapping her foot out of rhythm. The listener compares this to the U Up podcast debate about singing during movies but makes a clear distinction—tickets to Wicked are cheap and plentiful, while Carnegie Hall's Vienna Boys Choir is a once-a-year, premium experience. The kicker? Even the venue hands out cough drops to minimize disruptions, yet this woman thought constant foot-tapping was appropriate. The listener's husband says they sound like a 70-year-old British father, but Jared is ready to join in the complaint chorus.It’s a hilarious episode of relatable gripes, classic JTrain tangents, and Jared’s signature ability to turn life’s inconveniences into comedic gold. Plus, three listener complaints that round out the show with even more laughs.Email your questions to [email protected] or DM the pod on Instagram @jtrainpodcast🎙 Upcoming Shows: Batavia, Portland, Phoenix, and more!

Delta Upgrade Certificates, Mandatory Attendance Meetings, and Thanksgiving Seating - TICKED OFF TUESDAY - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

E

It's Ticked Off Tuesday! Jared dives into the wildest, most frustrating complaints from listeners. First up, one listener vents about mandatory attendance meetings at work—because there’s nothing more infuriating than fighting LA traffic for hours only to find out the meeting has been canceled last minute. Jared breaks down why these pointless meetings are a universal workplace scourge!Next, we’re heading to Thanksgiving, where a listener shares the anxiety-inducing experience of being the “new person” at their boyfriend’s family dinner. With limited seating options, they were stuck choosing between balancing a plate on their lap, waiting for a dining table spot to free up, or awkwardly standing in the kitchen. Jared unpacks the unwritten rules of hosting!Finally, we hear about a workplace drama straight out of the future: a listener’s new coworker accused them of using AI to write their reports because their grammar was “too perfect.” Jared hilariously breaks down why this coworker might need to calm down with the AI paranoia and why being too good at your job shouldn’t lead to workplace drama.Don’t miss Jared live on tour—grab your tickets at jaredfreid.com and experience his comedy in person!Remember to rate, review, subscribe, and share the pod with your friends.

Jared’s got you covered with hilarious hot takes and unexpected life lessons.He also shares a behind-the-scenes look at life on the road, prepping for his comedy special, and why shower thoughts can lead to the best ideas (or the angriest complaints). Plus, he shouts out his loyal Patreon fans and introduces two sponsors, Hero Bread and Lumen, who are here to help you navigate the holidays without sacrificing your health goals.Then, he unpacks the ultimate comedian pet peeve: unsolicited heckling. After a wild DM exchange between his brother and an over-eager audience member, Jared reflects on why crowd work needs to be natural, not forced. From hosting at the Comedy Cellar for years to handling unpredictable hecklers, Jared explains the delicate balance of creating a great live comedy experience. Spoiler alert: it’s harder than it looks.As always, Jared keeps it real, sharing behind-the-scenes insights from the world of standup and responding to the ultimate question: is the heckler helping, or is it the comedian saving the day? Picture this—your boy JTrain is Mario, deftly jumping over barrels of chaos, keeping the laughs rolling every 10-15 seconds for an impressive hour and ten minutes. But what happens when a group of rotten audience members (yes, rotten, Jared’s new favorite word) steals the spotlight for all the wrong reasons? From bathroom trips and chatter to one guy cutting the post-show meet-and-greet line to interrupt with irrelevant banter, this story has it all.And here's the kicker: one of the group members claimed to know Jared’s brother but couldn’t muster the decency to apologize for their behavior—or even have a proper conversation. Jared dives deep into the dynamics of respect, accountability, and the bizarre notion of “support” that ends the moment someone walks through the door. Spoiler alert: a little mensch-like behavior could have gone a long way.As the rant shifts gears, Jared tackles another "ticked-off Tuesday" classic: the curse of bad dining suggestions. He passionately advocates for putting thought into restaurant choices, especially in vibrant cities brimming with culinary treasures. No more chain restaurants or blackout college bars—Jared’s got a foolproof plan involving Eater lists, authentic vibes, and a dash of food artistry.Plus, he explores the ultimate workplace awkwardness: coworkers speaking another language in front of you, leaving you out of the loop. It’s a conversation about inclusivity, vulnerability, and the delicate balance of addressing these situations without crossing a line.The episode is packed with sharp humor, relatable rants, and Jared’s signature ability to turn everyday annoyances into comedic gold.

Jeremy Allen White Lookalike Contest, Lamar Odom's Kardashian S3x Doll, and Team John Stamos! - POP CULTURE THURSDAY - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

E

It's Pop Culture Thursday! from the West Village, Manhattan! Jared dives into the latest in celebrity news, quirky events, and a wild mix of pop culture headlines. Jared starts off the pod with an upcoming trip to Tulsa, Oklahoma, for five comedy shows and a guest spot on the I’ve Had It podcast with Jennifer Welch and Pumps. Jared shares his thoughts on personal style (inside pants vs. outside pants, anyone?) and dishes out plenty of sharp, self-aware humor. A deep dive into the hilarity of lookalike contests, including Chicago’s Jeremy Allen White lookalike competition, complete with blue aprons and cigarettes. Jared suggests Blake Lively’s PR team might want to take notes from Timothy Chalamet’s surprise appearance at his own lookalike event! 😂We learn Lamar Odom’s eyebrow-raising confession about a custom sex doll resembling his ex-wife Khloé Kardashian—cue the awkward laughs and Jared’s sharp commentary. Jared discusses the backlash surrounding rumors about Pete Davidson’s alleged rehab stint and brief fling with The Bachelor alum Maria Gorgas. While Gorgas vehemently denies the claims, Jared reflects on her tendency to respond to headlines with bold, unfiltered statements, drawing parallels to her “no-apology” attitude from The Bachelor. He also touches on Pete’s struggles with addiction, empathizing with both parties while critiquing the clickbait culture around mental health.Jared comments on more Kardashian news! The Kardashian kids are growing up! Mason Disick, 14, towers over his mom Kourtney during a grocery run. Jared notes how even mundane outings like this become headline news, reflecting on the obsession with Kardashian family updates. He goes on to comment on Singer Sabrina Carpenter stuns in a $350 Aritzia coat after her LA show. Jared jokes about the coat being relatively affordable compared to her typically extravagant outfits, speculating that the article doubles as a sneaky ad for the brand. Jared wraps up with thoughts on the viral SNL “Domingo” sketch. While he doesn’t find the content groundbreaking, he acknowledges its catchy charm and how TikTok’s sound-driven appeal keeps sketches like this trending.Comedy legend Jay Leno’s misadventures continue—this time, a tumble down a hill leaves him bruised and bandaged. Jared shares admiration for Leno’s legacy, recalling his reputation as one of the hardest-working and kindest comics in the business, while humorously questioning why a 74-year-old is scaling steep hills.Want more JTRAIN?

Marriott Lounges & Reusable Water Bottles - TICKED OFF TUESDAY - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

E

Welcome to another episode of TICKED OFF TUESDAY! 👏Jared dives into his inbox of grievances, sharing listener complaints and sprinkling in a few of his own, recorded live from St. Louis, Missouri! This week’s episode features Jared’s hilariously detailed take on Marriott hotels, where his loyalty as an elite Bonvoy member seems to have hit a few roadblocks.First up, Jared vents about the elusive M Club lounge, which was inexplicably closed for the weekend—a fact delivered with what he describes as a blatant lie from the front desk. Then, in a twist of corporate irony, he discovers no complimentary bottled water in his room. Instead, he’s greeted with a “Fill It Forward” initiative: a branded reusable water bottle emblazoned with the St. Louis skyline, available for purchase at $14.95.Jared breaks down the absurdity of this “altruistic” gesture, where guests are expected to buy the bottle, scan it, and refill it to "give clean water." He hilariously questions the practicality of the campaign, pointing out that instead of making his stay eco-friendlier, the move left him waterless and frustrated. Then Jared dives into the hilariously frustrating world of over-medium eggs🍳 From the mysterious art of nailing the perfect yolk consistency to a call for national egg-cooking guidelines, Jared and listeners vent about the perils of breakfast orders gone wrong. He then takes on workplace woes with a ticked-off tale of awkward office scavenger hunts and petty coworker grievances. Jared's sharp commentary exposes the absurdities of it all, making you laugh while secretly nodding in agreement😅Want more JTRAIN?

E

It's MAILBAG MONDAY! 💌 🙌 Live from his hotel room in St. Louis, Missouri, while gearing up for his comedy special, Jared Freid dives into another edition of Mailbag Monday with sharp insights and laugh-out-loud moments.  ⚠️ Trigger Warning: ⚠️ The first email briefly mentions domestic violence. If you or someone you know is in need of support, please contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or visit thehotline.org for confidential resources and assistance.  In the first email, a listener debates whether they’re being too picky for making “smoking” on a dating profile a dealbreaker. Jared weighs in with his take on the fine line between being true to your standards and giving someone a chance. Is this an unbendable boundary or an opportunity to learn more about a potential match? Jared brings his usual humor and honesty to the discussion.  The listener shares concerns about their ex partner’s controlling behavior, like micromanaging small decisions and setting rules around their daily life. Jared calls out the red flags and offers thoughtful advice on navigating this complex situation while emphasizing the importance of safety and reaching out for help when needed.  Finally, the episode wraps up with a puzzling story involving a mysterious Uber ride sent by a former situationship. Jared hilariously dissects the possibilities—was it an accidental drunk text, a misplaced booty call, or something else entirely?

People Magazine Names John Krasinski Sexiest Man Alive - JTrain Podcast Reaction! - POP CULTURE THURSDAY - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

E

It's POP CULTURE THURSDAY !! This week on the JTrain Podcast, Jared Freid dives into People Magazine's announcement of John Krasinski as the "Sexiest Man Alive." In his signature Pop Culture Thursday style, Jared takes us through a mix of headlines and hot takes as he reacts to the news, questions the choice, and humorously dissects the ongoing debate around celebrity sex appeal. Jared also reflects on the timeless appeal of Krasinski and how his marriage to Emily Blunt might contribute to his "sexiness."The episode doesn’t stop there—Jared also shares insights on "B Movies with the Baby," his recurring guest segment that rates low-stakes flicks, especially for those curious if they're worth a plane watch. Plus, Jared reflects on male versus female sex appeal, from Sabrina Carpenter’s “female beauty” to Sydney Sweeney’s “guy hot” aura, breaking down why these differences spark such spirited conversations. Jared dives into the world of People’s “Sexiest Man Alive” and the very real anxieties that come with holding such a title. He jokes about how men receiving this kind of recognition are just asking to be teased—especially by their friends. Jared shares a hilarious story of how any compliment he receives, like losing weight, gets instantly undermined by his dad. In 2021, Paul Rudd was named “Sexiest Man Alive” and even he worried about being mocked for it! The conversation moves to Jared’s dad, whose response to any compliment for Jared seems to be endless jokes at his expense😅Jared calls out “The Baby,” the JTrain’s movie correspondent. The Baby, known for his hilarious obsession with Glen Powell, had written a whole dissertation on Powell being the obvious choice for “Sexiest Man Alive” over the newly crowned John Krasinski👑 In his passionate response, The Baby crowns Powell as the JTrain’s first-ever “Sexiest Man Alive.” This leads Jared to declare that the JTrain will now give out its own annual “Sexiest Man Alive” award, a title that Glen Powell proudly holds as the inaugural winner!!! 🏆Then, the discussion takes a nostalgic look back at past winners, from Mel Gibson to Mark Harmon, as Jared reflects on how the “Sexiest Man Alive” honor has evolved 😂🏆🙌 The conversation closes with musings on how each era had its own definition of sexy, leading Jared to a humorous exploration of who’s made the list over the years.Want more JTRAIN?

Making Audiences Angry with Adrienne Iapalucci - CHIT CHAT WEDNESDAY - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

E

It's Chit Chat Wednesday, and today, we’re thrilled to have comedian  @AdrienneIapalucci  joining us!! Adrienne is a friend of the show and a stand-up favorite, and she's here to talk about her new Netflix special, The Dark Queen !! Check it out!Jared introduces Adrienne as "a true stand-up," bringing sharp, dark humor to her special that’s already making waves. Adrienne’s brand of comedy is refreshingly bold, different, and unapologetically funny. If you've seen other comedians hyping it up on social media, there’s good reason! Jared and Adrienne dig into the journey of creating a special for Netflix, the ups and downs of comedy life, and the unexpected challenges of "making it" in the stand-up world. They also touch on the quirks of being a comedian, from well-meaning but awkward fan interactions to the wild world of Reddit commentary.Tune in to enjoy Jared and Adrienne’s candid conversation about comedy, the comedy industry, and the perseverance needed to stay true to your voice. Adrienne recounts the thrill of nailing one show only to feel disappointed with the next, sharing how new material can reignite that spark. They laugh about the complex reactions from audiences who, at times, love the very jokes that bore the comedian, and Adrienne highlights the strange disconnect when fans can’t tell if a set went well.They also discuss the evolving landscape of comedy, where influencers with niche content often fill traditional stand-up venues, changing audience expectations. Adrienne brings up her experience with "walking the room," referencing a memorable set where a group of cowboys exited during a military joke, showing how divisive comedy can be. Jared and Adrienne get into the contradictions in humor preferences, especially when fans who claim to love "dark comedy" balk at more provocative material.To wrap things up, Jared asks Adrienne about a joke she wishes she could have developed more. Adrienne reveals that she would have loved more time with her Middle East jokes, as world events have continued to shape the material. Fans of Adrienne’s fearless, dark humor won’t want to miss this episode – and Jared encourages everyone to check out her latest special for even more unfiltered laughs.Want more JTRAIN?

Lululemon, Cream Cheese, and Shower Settings - TICKED OFF TUESDAY - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

E

It's Ticked Off Tuesday!! We are diving deep into your annoyances and frustrations. This is the internet’s only place where every complaint—no matter how trivial—is met with enthusiastic agreement, validation, and a healthy dose of humor!! Today, Jared’s got his own set of grievances that’ll hit home. First up, a travel gripe about high-end hotels like the Ritz-Carlton in St. Louis—charging over $700 a night for a stay that he feels isn’t worth the price. Jared breaks down why the Four Seasons offers a better experience for a lower price, leaving him baffled at how the Ritz could justify such a premium. Next, Jared shares his struggle with finding workout shirts that fit right. His trips to Lululemon often lead to shirts that are either too tight in the chest or unflatteringly long. He’s on the hunt for a shirt that hits the sweet spot without feeling like a cropped gym top or a baggy mess.  Then, there’s the mystery encounter with a woman at Lululemon who wanted to trade her $100 gift card for cash. Jared found himself suspicious, trying to assess if this was a grift or an earnest offer. He dives into his thought process, balancing his natural skepticism with the desire to believe in others’ good intentions. Transitioning to the listener-submitted grievances 😅👉 Jared first digs into a classic New York complaint: the struggle for balanced bagel toppings! 🥯 One listener vents about their local bagel spot’s inability to spread cream cheese evenly – instead piling it on in clumps or slathering only one side. Jared passionately agrees, offering tactical advice, including ordering “medium cream cheese, both sides spread evenly.” He explains the ritualistic disassembly required to eat a good bagel and adds his own tip for asserting control over bagel orders: ask for gloves as a not-so-subtle reminder to the staff to get it right.Next, we dive into a "holiday gift gripe "🎄 A listener bemoans the lazy tradition of family members gifting him the same sweater or winter coat every Christmas, clearly motivated by the weather rather than any actual thoughtfulness. Jared rallies behind him, humorously suggesting a “Do-Not-Gift List” for Christmas – because who wouldn’t want to avoid yet another uninspired sweater?Finally, Jared reads a travel complaint from a listener plagued by “housekeeping faux pas” at hotels. The latest trigger? Housekeeping consistently resets the showerhead to an annoying rapid-spray setting after each clean. Jared shares his empathy, noting the increasing struggle for travelers to maintain comfort on the road!Want more JTRAIN?

I hate my job and I'm annoying everyone about it!! - MONDAY MAILBAG - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

E

It's MAILBAG MONDAY! 💌 where he takes on emails, messages, and DMs from listeners seeking his unfiltered, honest perspective. His take? He’s not a therapist but offers something just as valuable: an unbiased take with no eye contact required! We learn first what is going on with Jared! He's diving into the complex feelings that come with trying to “make it” in a big city while balancing the small-town mentality. He reflects on chasing big dreams and the pressure to constantly grow, sharing his goal to make his next comedy special iconic, despite knowing Madison Square Garden might be a lofty ambition. For Jared, this high-stakes chase feels exhausting at times, especially compared to people who seem happy with simpler lives in small towns. The question arises: is striving for success making him happier, or is it just adding stress?An email where they are looking for a job but annoying everyone about it! From a listener brings up classic feelings of being "left out" when visiting old friends who seem content in their local circles. Jared connects deeply with the listener’s high school-style anxieties about belonging, inclusion, and questioning their own life choices. He explains that even in adulthood, we never fully escape high school social dynamics—feeling left out or judged is universal. His advice? Reach out to these people again, enjoy the simplicity, and maybe embrace being the “new kid in town” as a fresh chapter rather than a source of insecurity.As the episode wraps up, Jared highlights relatable issues like hating a day job while working toward a dream. He compares it to his own struggle with writing a book, where some days are rewarding and others are draining. His takeaway: it’s tough to keep going when fulfillment feels distant, but persistence might just lead to something great.Want more JTRAIN?

Tom Brady Isn't Dating, Heidi Klum Models, and Kristin Cavallari vs Britney Spears - POP CULTURE THURSDAY - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

E

It's POP CULTURE THURSDAY! Jared’s sifting through the headlines—from Brady’s “I’m focused on work and kids” PR spin to Kristin Cavallari’s eyebrow-raising comments about Britney Spears. He’s got thoughts on it all and welcomes listeners to send in the stories they want his two cents on! And in true Jared fashion, he’s calling it as he sees it—whether it’s tabloids pushing a narrative or celebs playing the Hollywood PR game. Join for hot takes, laughs, and a chance to unplug from the endless scroll.Jared dives into Heidi Klum’s bold new lingerie campaign, featuring a stunning trifecta of family glamour: Heidi herself, her 20-year-old daughter Leni, and her 80-year-old mother, Erna. Jared brings his spin on Erna's name, quipping that it’s the kind of name that sounds regal in German but feels a little… offbeat in New York. And if you were wondering if three generations of Klums were just “modeling or making out” in those photos—yes, people actually commented on this—Jared is here to remind us that sometimes the world just needs to chill out. Sure, a mother-daughter lingerie campaign might be unusual, but hey, modeling’s in their DNA, right?!Then, in a turn toward the unexpectedly heartfelt, Jared reflects on Christina Applegate’s recent health struggles with MS, honoring her courage in sharing the reality of her condition. It's a softer moment amid the laughs, as he appreciates the vulnerability she brings to her public battles. Finally, Jared shifts to a slightly bizarre Gypsy Rose Blanchard update, the woman famous for the complex case of her mother’s murder. Apparently, Gypsy just took a paternity test to quell online speculation about her baby’s father—something Jared finds as bizarre as the internet’s obsession with her life. It’s like Maury, but make it… Instagram?By the end of the episode, Jared’s spun up a rollercoaster of critiques, laughs, and that familiar, incisive wit we crave every week.Want more JTRAIN?

Taylor Swift, Charli XCX, & The Art of Being a Pop Star w Nora Princiotti - CHIT CHAT WEDNESDAY - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

E

This week on JTrain, Jared is joined by the brilliant Nora Princiotti for an electrifying discussion of pop culture! Who's the powerhouse personalities behind today’s biggest hits? The two dive in 🙌🎵 Nora, a co-host on The Ringer NFL Show and Every Single Album, brings her unique blend of insight and passion—especially for Taylor Swift, whose career and influence serve as a fascinating focal point for the episode. Together, Jared and Nora dive deep into Taylor’s journey from a Nashville up-and-comer to a global superstar, discussing how she became a voice for generations and built one of the most devoted fanbases in music.The conversation doesn’t stop there, though! Jared and Nora break down the layered world of today’s pop stars, contrasting the introspective and "bedroom pop" appeal of Taylor Swift with the edgy, club-kid vibe of Charli XCX. They explore how pop stars like Charli XCX, Sabrina Carpenter, and Olivia Rodrigo each represent distinct facets of modern femininity, almost like avatars for different "going out" personalities. Whether it’s Taylor’s relatable authenticity, Charli’s wild, underground energy, or Olivia’s confessional style, Jared has a theory—dubbed the “Taylor Swift Apocalypse”—about how each artist lets fans embody a specific persona on a night out. Nora adds a layer of depth, connecting each artist’s style to the broader traditions they represent, from Taylor’s raw introspection to the boundary-pushing boldness that defines Charli and Sabrina’s work.As always, Jared brings in some hilarious, offbeat tangents, riffing on everything from the essentials of “going out” gear (like Lumi deodorant and MeUndies) to the ever-important “end-of-rotation” underwear and why he’s officially declaring this season as “lounge season.” Expect a thoughtful, funny journey through fame, fandom, and the unique ways we relate to our favorite stars. Tune in for a lively pop culture deep dive with plenty of laughs and insights from Jared’s ever-entertaining perspective. And if you’re a pop culture lover or just curious about how today’s biggest names reflect—and shape—the world, don’t miss this episode!
