The JTrain Podcast

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!

This week, Jared kicks off with his own complaints, including airport antics at West Palm Beach, the psychology of risk tolerance, and an epic takedown of “gate lice” (you know who you are).

From bumping elbows to emotional airport stress tests, Jared leaves no travel woe unexamined.Here’s what’s ticking off the listeners this week:💸 HR Email Shenanigans: “Pizza on you tonight?” Jared breaks down why cringe-worthy paycheck emails are the last thing anyone wants when they're trying to, you know, pay bills.👩‍❤️‍👨 Mama’s Boys of Iowa: One listener vents about dating guys who are just a little too obsessed with their parents and can’t imagine life outside their hometown.

It's Ticked Off Tuesday!! Live from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Jared is ready to unleash his signature blend of humor and righteous complaints. This week, Jared's mood sets the tone as he dives into hotel grievances—from the impossible-to-use rectangular lotion bottles to the empty wall-mounted shampoo debacle. Ever wondered how much hand strength you need to battle hotel amenities? 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. Tune in for all this and more—including upcoming tour dates and why Chili’s mozzarella sticks don’t cut it for a foodie like Jared!! 😂🙌Support the podcast by supporting our sponsors!Lumen Support the show and get 15% off your Lumen.

Jared breaks down how to take control of your dating narrative and stop playing detective.In the second email, a complex situation involving pregnancy has Jared offering compassionate yet straightforward advice on how to approach difficult conversations with a partner.

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.

A deep dive into the hilarity of lookalike contests, including Chicago’s Jeremy Allen White lookalike competition, complete with blue aprons and cigarettes.

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.

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?

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.

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?

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?

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?

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?

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?

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?

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! Plus, make sure to check out Nora’s podcast, *Every Single Album*, for even more music deep dives.As always, Jared brings his signature humor, relatable rants, and the occasional life lesson.

He's taking on pet peeves and big gripes, starting with some juicy listener submissions from Patreon. Jared kicks off with a listener struggling with a long commute.

Jared even jokes about his own “loss” if the listener ditches the commute—and the podcast.In another story, Jared tackles a wedding food debacle, sympathizing with both the guests and the cash-strapped couple. He then imagines his own ideal budget spread: nostalgic comfort food like chicken fingers and pizza bites—perfect for anyone planning a low-cost but satisfying menu.Finally, Jared addresses the awkwardness of election reminders, poking fun at the social pressure to vote. He questions if vote-tracking is more about shaming than civic duty, with his signature humor and insight. Between complaints, Jared shares updates on his upcoming shows in Tulsa, Dania Beach, and more!

Mailbag Monday!! Jared is diving into your questions and gives you his candid, hilarious advice! Today, Jared is a little hungover (thanks, Halloween!🎃), which makes him the perfect level of unfiltered. He's here to answer some listener emails—but not before a passionate monologue about his favorite college football show, College GameDay. Jared shares his thoughts on the new line-up, his love for the tradition, and what’s up with Pat McAfee’s $100,000 field goal challenge. From frustrations with Penn State’s coach to why he really wants to be a guest on GameDay, Jared’s got it all covered.Then, it’s time to tackle questions straight from the DMs and emails, with advice on everything from dating mishaps to friendship dilemmas. Can exes ever really be just friends?

It's POP CULTURE THURSDAY 🍾🗞Welcome to the JTrain Podcast with Jared Freid, your weekly source for hilarious and insightful takes on dating, pop culture, and everything in between! Jared dives into Hugh Grant’s amusing name choice for his youngest daughter, Blue, giving it his signature comedic take. After Grant reveals the story behind the name—a blend of panic and his older child’s influence, who originally suggested "Kevin" after a favorite minion—Jared cracks up over the "You're my boy, Blue" references she'll face for life. He reflects on how Grant has softened up since fatherhood, even as he pokes fun at Grant’s curmudgeonly reputation.Next, Jared weighs in on Channing Tatum and Zoe Kravitz’s split, taking on the vague breakup details. He jokes about the "non-story" of irreconcilable differences, guessing it’s a publicist move to quiet nosy fans. Comparing it to his own experiences with lingering social media questions post-breakup, he playfully commiserates with the stars and calls out the predictable public fascination that fuels the gossip. He imagines a sitcom scenario: A-listers desperately scrambling to repair their public image, from cryptic black-screen memes to a hilariously timed dying-plant post!Then, things get juicier as Jared dissects Broadway actor Ethan Slater’s rocky PR game following his high-profile relationship with Ariana Grande. Jared analyzes the nuanced “PR curating” that celebs use to sway public favor and muses on the very public response. From Taylor Swift’s dad gossiping mid-flight about her new romance to Heidi Klum’s flashy pizza joint, Jared pulls no punches, blending comedy and insight on the bizarre media machine around celebrity relationships. It's all PR stunts! 😅Don't forget to subscribe for fresh episodes, and join Jared on Patreon for more insider stories and rants.Want more JTRAIN?

It's CHIT CHAT WEDNESDAY!! 🙌 In this lively episode of the JTrain podcast, Jared is joined by pop culture aficionado Juliet Litman to dissect the latest in reality TV. They dive deep into the Golden Bachelorette, sharing mixed reactions on the season's vibe shift and the dynamics (or lack thereof) of this year’s Fantasy Suites. Together, they critique the male friendships—or the conspicuous absence of them—and how the show shines an unexpected light on men in their 60s attempting social interactions.Jared and Juliet reflect on whether The Bachelor franchise might be losing its allure, reminiscing about the days when viewers rallied around memorable leads and watching hopeful contestants vie for their affections. They explore how adding a semi-famous lead could revitalize the show, even imagining Tom Brady as a hypothetical Bachelor, poking fun at his post-Giselle glow-down.They then switch gears to “Love Is Blind,” celebrating the real-time relationship drama and critiquing the latest season's editing choices, face-to-camera cuts, and how producers could improve. It's a pop culture feast for anyone craving an irreverent take on today’s biggest shows, complete with witty banter and bold hot takes.Jared and Juliet dive into the Taylor Swift phenomenon too. They chat about Taylor’s influence, her devoted fanbase, and the cultural impact of her recent moves. Juliet brings her pop culture expertise, making for a fun breakdown of why everyone seems to be in a “Taylor era” right now. Whether you're a Swiftie or just curious about the craze, this segment is a great pop culture detour in the episode!Juliet, co-host of Food News, shares her latest dining escapade, a coveted veggie miso ramen at Ippudo, which has her rethinking the veggie option and dishing out tips to skip the lines. Jared and Juliet bond over cozy meals, discuss how culture shapes their favorite dishes, and weigh in on NYC’s unique dining scene. Then, they dive into the quirks of food recommendations and Jared’s go-to Google Maps strategy for finding those must-try spots. Along the way, they explore Parisian food finds, unforgettable meal memories, and laugh at Jared’s “so for” catchphrase. Perfect for food lovers and anyone seeking new places to try, this episode promises to be a warm, flavor-packed listen!Want to get in on the ranting?

It's Ticked Off Tuesday!! Jared Freid is back for another fiery Ticked Off Tuesday AKA Luxury Lounge, recorded from NYC’s West Village! This week, Jared dives into listener complaints and shares his own pet peeves, reminding us that all annoyances, big or small, are welcome 🙌From the audacity of people clapping when glass breaks at a restaurant to the awkwardness of paying a bill with "tap-to-pay" while a server watches, Jared shares his frustrations in true JTrain style. He also takes on the "luxury veggie sides" debate, comparing New York’s scene to LA’s, and critiques the faux pas of serving etiquette when waitstaff removes dishes prematurely.Plus, listener complaints roll in about the lavish services at airport lounges—like booking Peloton rides and showers—that aren’t as seamless as advertised. Jared agrees with the outrage while marveling at how airports are becoming fitness centers and spas for the jet-set.Then, Jared tackles the age-old question: how many olives should go in a martini? One listener’s story of a bar serving martinis with black olives leads Jared to a passionate discussion about bartending shortcuts and drink quality. Later, he highlights NYC's “Mother’s Ruin” bar, known for its unique red martini made with a Castelvetrano olive and its amazing late-night food!Wrapping up, Jared shares empathy for a listener’s frustration with friends who send house listings that miss the mark.Want to get in on the ranting?

It's Monday which means Jared has a Mailbag Monday for you! This week, he’s tackling two heavy-hitting topics: “I’m Having an Emotional Affair with My Neighbor” and “2 Weddings on the Same Day.” These stories promise a captivating mix of high-stakes drama, questions, and scenarios that feel all too relatable. There's a lot of tension of an emotional affair, exploring where the line blurs between friendship and something more, especially when unspoken feelings and close proximity come into play. Meanwhile, the “Two Weddings on the Same Day” dilemma brings up all the chaos, stress, and tactical planning that come with wedding season, as Jared advises on managing conflicting commitments without losing friends — or sanity.The episode dives even deeper as Jared discusses the complexities of dating confidence, particularly when it involves age gaps and mismatched emotional availability. A listener writes in about her ongoing frustrations with a man who emotionally engages her, despite recently dating a much younger woman. Jared tackles the psychology behind this pattern, pointing out that some men may seek “easier” relationships—where fewer intense conversations and future expectations mean they can dodge vulnerability and emotional exposure.Jared thoughtfully unpacks why relationships with women in their 30s or 40s often bring a maturity that demands honesty and depth. He suggests that the listener’s age is far from the issue; rather, her date’s hesitation likely stems from his own insecurities. Dating a peer requires stepping up to accountability and commitment, and Jared emphasizes that a partner worth her time will value these qualities, not avoid them. His advice is clear and actionable: she should focus on conserving her emotional energy, setting clear boundaries, and putting her needs first. By focusing on someone who appreciates her strengths and authenticity, she can make space for a relationship that thrives on mutual respect and admiration.Tune in to this week’s Mailbag Monday for candid advice, relatable anecdotes, and the laughs you can only get from Jared Freid’s sharp and compassionate takes on modern dating!

It's Pop Culture Thursday!! 🍾🗣🗞 with his signature wit and candid takes. Jared gets into a funny review of the pop culture stories that have him fired up, including a Page Six headline about Nicole Kidman needing a break from filming sex scenes due to "fake orgasm exhaustion" for her upcoming film Baby Girl. He dissects the headline’s absurdity, diving into the world of PR spin and questioning the authenticity behind some of these attention-grabbing stories. Of course, Jared can’t help but offer his unfiltered opinion on the entire Hollywood machine and the PR games that fuel these narratives.Jared goes on to talk about how celebrities manage their image, particularly through the PR lens, and uses Blake Lively as a case study! Jared discusses how Blake Lively handled the promotion of a movie with sensitive topics, like domestic violence, and how her response seemed disconnected from those issues, impacting her public image. He points out that after the negative response, there appears to be a concerted effort by her PR team to shift the narrative with stories that paint her as relatable and down-to-earth. Jared humorously analyzes headlines like “Blake Lively waited like a normal person for a table at a NYC hotspot” and her interaction with HGTV stars, Chip and Joanna Gaines, calling them “too convenient” and clearly part of a strategy to boost her “Q rating”—a measurement of public likeability.Jared also reflects on his own proximity to Don Angie, the restaurant featured in one of these stories, and how the descriptions in the press are designed to make Blake seem like “just one of us,” eating large portions and mingling with fans. He even jokes about Blake being portrayed as someone who enjoys “fun cocktails” and lasagna, like any other New Yorker, calling it a calculated PR move 😅In closing, Jared transitions into another piece of celebrity news, covering a red carpet event where Huma Abedin, now engaged to Alex Soros, caught everyone’s attention with her jewels, but he quickly returns to how stars like Blake use the media to control public perception. Remember there are celebrity PR stunts and how the public narrative is carefully shaped.Tune in for all this and more, including a shout-out to all of you writing in! continue to write in at 👉[email protected] or DM us at @jtrainpodcastSUPPORT THE POD BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!

It's Chit Chat Wednesday!! We have this week our hilarious guest, Alison Libby! The two are a bit tired, exhausted and burnout, and start sharing how they often feel like garbage—whether from a rough week of podcast tapings or the cumulative stress of life. Jared humorously describes this weekly check-in as a mental break, where they can air their grievances while listeners nod along, likely feeling the same.Alison talks about her new podcast Talk Town, a quirky show where she and co-hosts Greg Stone and Anthony DeVito recreate society in their own absurd way, with high doses of humor and randomness. They laugh about the original premise and how the show evolved into Greg being high while Alison and Anthony wrangle him through wild conversations about how society should be structured.The conversation shifts to food when Jared asks Alison about her best recent restaurant experience. Alison gushes about her favorite local Italian spot in Brooklyn, Rucola, a cozy restaurant offering seasonal dishes. She raves about their light breakfast options, her favorite salad—featuring escarole, feta, and marcona almonds—and their rotating pasta dishes, sharing how her love for this place has grown over the years.The conversation continues with a relatable discussion about the struggle of finding a place to grab dinner in the West Village, especially without reservations. It's near impossible to casually walk into a bar and get a snack, forcing them to settle for a slice of pizza or fries outside a bar while waiting!!The frustration is evident as they joke about needing to wait for a stool at a dive bar and the overall scarcity of walk-in options Jack’s Wife Freda is a go-to for a satisfying and healthy meal in between shows at The Comedy Cellar.Returning to the comedy, the hosts talk about jokes they're currently working on! One host shares an idea about scam texts and reminisces about how scams used to be more blatant and silly, like spam about "hot young sluts" or "bigger schlongs," 😅 compared to today's more insidious loneliness-targeting scams. The joke plays on how scams have shifted from horny to mundane, leaving everyone a bit lonelier and more susceptible to scams like fake wrong-number texts. They reflect on how these scams now feel more sophisticated but lack the fun simplicity of the past.The other host shares a joke about how hooking up with a European is always going to be better for women because of the romance of their surroundings. For instance, seeing the Eiffel Tower makes you feel more in the mood compared to driving by a Denny’s in America.With that, they end the episode on a light-hearted note about the changing nature of scams and the subtle differences in experiences between American and European settings🇪🇺🇺🇸 Tune in for all this and more, including a shout-out to all of you writing in! continue to write in at 👉[email protected] or DM us at @jtrainpodcastSUPPORT US FROMNutrafol Support the show & get $10 off your 1st month of Nutrafol with promo code FEATHER at https://www.nutrafol.comEvery Plate Support the show and pay only $2.99 per meal, plus 50% off your first box.

It's Ticked Off Tuesday!! Jared Freid is delivering a laugh-out-loud ep where complaints take center stage. He emphasizes that his rants come from a place of fun, aiming to make listeners laugh, not tear anyone down. Jared opens up about his latest personal gripe involving Sugarfish, the trendy sushi chain with food presentation that feels more like a marketing ploy than a culinary experience. Jared dissects how millennial culture has made people susceptible to fancy packaging and high-concept dining, all the while poking fun at his own obsession with food apps. He also brings up his recent dining experiences, how these apps manipulate consumer desires, and why this entire culture just ticks him off.Shifting gears, Jared gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at his latest comedy endeavors, including his upcoming stand-up special filmed in Tarrytown, New York. He reflects on how the special was a natural evolution from his popular Patreon series, Coffee with JTrain, and how he’s shaped his material to resonate with his fans! He also touches on his collaboration with the Girls Gotta Eat live show and how the energy of live audiences has fueled his comedy performances.Jared goes into his experience at EatsCon, a food festival where expectations clashed with reality. Jared recounts his excitement for the event, which quickly turned into a food fiasco. From anticipating a feast of pizza, Korean fried chicken, and other culinary delights, to facing scarcity backstage, Jared humorously details how the festival, meant to showcase the best of the food world, left him and others unsatisfied. Joined by Girls Gotta Eat, Ashley and Rayna, Jared explores the absurdity of receiving only a few slices of pizza and waiting for promised dishes that never arrived. His enthusiasm for food turned into a comical critique as he called out the festival’s organization, jokingly likening it to a corporate mishap that prioritized sponsors over the talent. The episode captures Jared’s knack for turning personal inconveniences into laugh-out-loud moments, with commentary on food festivals, corporate culture, and the fine line between expectation and reality. His recount of the event is full of witty observations and self-aware humor, making it a classic JTrain rant listeners will thoroughly enjoy!!Tune in for all this and more, including a shout-out to all of you writing in! continue to write in at 👉[email protected] or DM us at @jtrainpodcastSUPPORT US FROMNutrafol Support the show & get $10 off your 1 st month of Nutrafol with promo code FEATHER at https://www.nutrafol.comEvery Plate Support the show and pay only $2.99 per meal, plus 50% off your first box.

It's Monday AKA Mailbag Monday 🙌 📩 Jared is giving you honest advice!! Jared shares insights about how he’s been answering relationship and dating questions for over a decade, often providing a safe space for listeners who seek clarity without judgment. He also introduces a hilarious new term: "The QUOAT" (Worst of All Time), a playful way to describe those who are just a tough hang.This episode also covers a wide range of topics, from the challenges comedians face when navigating sensitive social issues, to how some comics use their platform to spark controversy for attention. Jared praises stand-up legends like Bill Burr for staying true to their beliefs and discusses the evolving expectations of comedy in a politically charged environment. Jared teases tomorrow's Ticked Off Tuesday episode and shares an entertaining listener email about a European trip gone wrong, featuring non-refundable tickets, work stress, and the complexities of friendship and money😅Jared goes on to answer a question from a listener. They describe their dating situation to Jared, mentioning they've been on several dates with someone they met "in the wild" (i.e., not on dating apps). They’ve hung out about seven times over three weeks, including both planned and casual dates. Jared notes that meeting someone in real life rather than through apps creates a different dynamic, as people typically assume their app matches are talking to multiple people. When the listener asked the guy what he was looking for, his response was vague, though it seemed like he was open to a relationship. However, the listener feels that he likes her more than she likes him.Jared digs into the nuances of the conversation, pointing out that the guy's vague answer and his question about whether she's seeing other people might indicate that he's gauging her interest and seriousness. The listener admits she isn’t hooking up with anyone else but is still using dating apps and open to meeting others, although she didn’t tell him that part. Jared says the listener was as honest as she needed to be, but her friend's assumption that this makes them exclusive isn’t necessarily true.Jared unpacks the situation further, explaining how modern dating can complicate things—especially with the visibility of people on dating apps or in public. He believes that the listener’s conversation with the guy could be interpreted as more serious than it actually is, but clarifies that she’s not locked into a relationship unless she chooses to be. Jared also touches on how different people have varying "pain tolerances" when it comes to dating, referencing how some might feel guilt over dating multiple people, while others don’t see an issue until clear boundaries are set.

It's POP Culture Thursday! 🙌 On this episode of the JTrain Podcast, Jared Freid dives into pop culture with his signature humor and insight! It's Pop Culture Thursday, and Jared’s got all the juicy stories straight from Page Six and Yahoo Entertainment. From Keri Russell’s clickbait-worthy comments about rarely wanting to work, to Jason Segel leaving Hoda Kotb in tears with an emotional compliment on the Today Show, Jared breaks it all down. He even touches on the controversy surrounding a fan-edited Wicked poster that deeply upset star Cynthia Erivo.actress Bethany Joy Lenz opens up about the tragic financial and emotional toll of being involved in a small Christian cult during her time on One Tree Hill. She reveals that the cult wiped out nearly $2 million of her earnings from the series, leaving her starting over financially while dealing with the end of her marriage. Bethany's story is tied to her new memoir, Dinner for Vampires: Life on a Cult TV Show, While Also in an Actual Cult, where she details her harrowing experience and eventual escape.The conversation shifts to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who reportedly bought a new vacation home in Portugal after being evicted from Frogmore Cottage by King Charles III. Jared humorously reflects on the bizarre name "Frogmore" and discusses the couple’s move, with a hint of bias against their public persona. He then touches on Colin Gosselin's attempt to reconcile with his estranged siblings from the Jon & Kate Plus 8 family, and Andy Cohen denying claims from Real Housewives star Jennifer Aiden about her return to the show.The episode wraps up with Katie Maloney's new romance announcement, shared ironically on her ex-husband Tom Schwartz’s birthday, and a discussion about Joan Vassos, the Golden Bachelorette, removing beds from the Fantasy Suite to focus on emotional rather than physical intimacy. Jared critiques Joan’s choice, finding it overly symbolic and unnecessary, while calling out the implicit judgment in her decision.Tune in for all this and more, including a shout-out to all of you writing in! continue to write in at 👉[email protected] or DM us at @jtrainpodcastGreenChef 👉 Support the show and get 50% off your 1 st GreenChef box, plus 50 free ClassPass credits.

It's CHIT CHAT WEDNESDAY!! 🙌 Jared Freid is joined by the always sharp and hilariously insightful Michelle Wolf this week. The two comedians dive into a range of topics, from the changing New York weather to the complexities of modern content creation and comedy in a podcast-saturated world. Jared and Michelle pull back the curtain on their frustrations with low-effort content, while also sharing their own challenges in maintaining authenticity in comedy amidst evolving trends.Michelle, fresh off launching her new podcast Thought Box, gives listeners a sneak peek into her process of embracing (and sometimes hating) the world of podcasting. Jared and Michelle banter about the absurdity of everyday life and the fine line between comedic inspiration and chaos, while poking fun at their own creative processes. They share candid moments about their evolving careers, the importance of refining jokes, and the pressure to stay true to their craft in a world where everyone seems to have a podcast.A major theme in this episode is the generational shift in technology and communication. Both Jared and Michelle reflect on being part of the last generation to grow up without constant connectivity, diving into the humorous challenges this creates with their parents. Jared’s story about his mom’s “loving bullying”—turning simple questions about doctor visits into guilt-inducing traps—is both relatable and hilarious. Michelle adds her own insights on how parents, with their seemingly innate guilt-tripping abilities, can twist even well-meaning compliments into self-inflicted emotional spirals. Jared goes so far as to label his mom a "guilt kung fu master," turning everyday conversations into mini guilt-marathons.As the conversation turns to parenthood, Michelle reflects on the unexpected compromises that come with raising kids. She shares how her eco-friendly ideals often take a backseat to the practicality of disposable paper plates and spontaneous zoo trips, providing a funny yet real glimpse into the balance between convenience and morality. Michelle hilariously explains her newfound appreciation for strollers—“the best rolling pockets”—as she navigates the chaos of parenthood and everyday life.Throughout the episode, Michelle talks about how these personal experiences with family, guilt, and the mundane aspects of life fuel her comedy. they dive deep into the endless cycle of guilt, parental struggles, and the world of comedy. Jared talks about how his mom is the best at guilt tripping him. How his mom is some sort of “guilt kung fu masters,” able to turn any well-meaning compliment into a situation where you’re suddenly tapping out from a self-inflicted punch! 😂The episode wraps up with Jared and Michelle discussing the ever-evolving comedy scene, sharing their frustrations, joys, and the occasional absurdity of staying relevant in a world dominated by content creators. With sharp observations, witty banter, and laugh-out-loud moments, this episode offers a deep dive into the intersection of comedy, guilt, parenthood, and personal convenience—all delivered with the signature humor of two comedic heavyweights.Tune in for all this and more, including a shout-out to all of you writing in! continue to write in at 👉[email protected] or DM us at @jtrainpodcastGreenChef 👉 Support the show and get 50% off your 1 st GreenChef box, plus 50 free ClassPass credits.

It's Ticked Off Tuesday!! Jared is here to listen to your grievances..no matter how small! This cathartic process as it's not just venting but a form of mental health care, offering validation and support. The best way to be part of the podcast is by joining his Patreon for exclusive content, like bonus episodes and priority for submissions!!🙌 Jared kicks off the episode by talking about his recent experience dining at Uchiko, a high-end Japanese restaurant in Austin. He recounts how the bartender curated a tasting menu for him, which unexpectedly left him with a hefty bill of over $300, triggering his personal ticked-off moment.Jared begins by responding to a fan’s email about someone sharing overly cautious warnings about foot fetishes on social media, making it a public issue. Jared questions why such paranoia exists, especially for someone with under 2,000 followers, and suggests that the joke isn’t quite landing. He explores the absurdity of thinking feet are so desirable that they need to be hidden from potential fetishists and sarcastically comments on how the internet might not be for everyone if everyday things like feet create so much fear. He continues to riff on the concept, saying maybe we should just let foot fetishists live their quiet lives without ruining everyone else's day.The pod shifts to another fan email about sandwich preferences, specifically the annoyance with rounded loaves of bread from the grocery store. Jared sympathizes with the listener, agreeing that a rectangular loaf would make sandwich-making more consistent and easier. He also digs into his own frustrations about sandwiches, such as uneven distribution of ingredients. From foot fetishes to bread complaints, Jared keeps the humor flowing, engaging with listeners' quirky gripes!!Tune in for all this and more, including a shout-out to all of you writing in! continue to write in at 👉[email protected] or DM us at @jtrainpodcastGreenChef 👉 Support the show and get 50% off your 1 st GreenChef box, plus 50 free ClassPass credits.

IT'S MAILBAG MONDAY! In this week’s Mailbag Monday episode of the JTrain Podcast, Jared Freid takes on 2 listener dilemmas, diving into the tricky situation of whether or not to tell a close friend their new boyfriend is bad news.👎 He discusses the challenges of navigating friendships when romantic relationships are involved and gives his signature no-nonsense advice.Jared also reflects on the evolving podcast landscape, sharing his thoughts on the pressure to feature big-name guests versus his preference for creating authentic, relatable content for his dedicated listeners. Throughout the episode, he touches on hilarious and relatable topics, such as the awkwardness of seeing your ex with someone new—whether they’ve upgraded or downgraded—The discussion starts with a listener sharing her feelings about an ex-boyfriend she had dated for two and a half years in their late 30s. She explains how she ended the relationship because he couldn’t commit, which felt like being forced to break up with herself. Even though she's over him, she admits to checking his Facebook occasionally, and a friend recently got upset on her behalf after seeing a picture of him with a new girlfriend. Her initial reaction was to feel an ego boost, thinking the new girlfriend was a downgrade.Jared acknowledges that it's common to feel validated when an ex "downgrades" but challenges this mindset as unhealthy. He encourages a shift in perspective, reminding the listener that the relationship ended because they weren’t a good match, and it’s pointless to compare. The new relationship could be fulfilling for reasons beyond appearances, and it’s impossible to know what dynamic works for the new couple. Using a “buttoned-up shirt” analogy, Jared suggests that unresolved issues can weigh down a relationship, and the ex might have moved on to start fresh. He adds that fixating on whether an ex has "upgraded" or "downgraded" isn’t productive and could mean the listener hasn’t fully moved on. Jared emphasizes that true healing comes from focusing on personal growth rather than seeking validation through comparisons.Tune in for all this and more, including a shout-out to all of you writing in! continue to write in at 👉[email protected] or DM us at @jtrainpodcastGreenChef 👉 Support the show and get 50% off your 1 st GreenChef box, plus 50 free ClassPass credits.

In this Pop 🍾 Culture Thursday!! Jared kicks off with rumors surrounding Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s possible engagement💍, following some slip-ups on the Monday Night Football broadcast. As he navigates through various sources, including Yahoo and Page Six, Jared discusses the ever-evolving speculation about Swift and Kelce's relationship and the frenzy it causes in the media.Jared goes on to talk about the recent revelations about Jennifer Lopez’s single life after her split from Ben Affleck, with J.Lo candidly opening up about her feelings post-divorce. Jared compares media reactions and adding his own takes on how rumors and narratives spiral in the world of pop culture! From potential Swift-Kelce wedding bells to J.Lo’s reflective stance on independence, Jared’s take on these celebrity topics is both light-hearted and engaging, perfect for a Thursday episode full of page-turning headlines.He continues to talk about whats going on reacting to Richard Gere and his wife’s steamy red carpet PDA, questioning the media's portrayal of their age gap. In other news, Billie Eilish vows to stop talking about her private life and sexuality, but Jared debates how realistic that promise is in today’s world of celebrity culture💋 Plus, reality TV star Sheena Shay dishes out divorce advice to her Vanderpump Rules co-stars, leaving Jared unimpressed with her generic parenting tips.Jared continues discussing various pop culture topics, diving into a critique of reality TV personalities like Sheena Shay. He mentions how these celebrities often don’t say anything profound, instead offering common advice, like "put your child first," which Jared finds bland. The conversation transitions into an analysis of podcast trends, with Jared expressing frustration over how certain podcasts gain popularity, despite what he sees as weak content. Jared specifically names Hayley Welch's podcast, saying it’s doing well but feels like a case of “good guest, bad show.” He criticizes the notion that these podcasts promise “real conversations” when, in his view, no groundbreaking discussions happen. The example given is Hayley Welch's rise to podcasting success, starting from a viral catchphrase to now having a top-ranking podcast and even a costume inspired by her catchphrase being sold at Spirit Halloween. Jared praises Welch’s business success with her jumpsuit costume line, noting that this venture makes sense given her viral fame. He finds the costume to be fitting for certain demographics, like younger people looking for easy and recognizable Halloween attire. The conversation then shifts briefly to Britney Mahomes, where Jared jokes about how her outfit for a Chiefs game resembled Britney Spears’ iconic red leather look. There’s some discussion about public perception of Mahomes, though Jared doesn’t seem to share the disdain others might have for her.Lastly, Jared touches on a sadder topic—the brewing estate battle following Richard Simmons’ death. His brother, Lenny Simmons, and longtime housekeeper, Teresa Reveles, are in a legal dispute over the estate. Reveles claims that she was unfairly removed as co-trustee, and that Lenny and his wife pressured her into signing paperwork shortly after Richard’s passing. Jared reflects on how money can complicate relationships, and how these disputes can tarnish the legacies of beloved public figures like Richard Simmons.Tune in for all this and more, including a shout-out to all of you writing in!

They also explore how energy and mindset play key roles in attraction, agreeing that being content in your surroundings naturally draws people in.

Jared reads real-time Twitter reactions, agreeing with the internet's consensus that Leo’s obsession with money makes him tough to watch.Jared reacts to Selena Gomez’s comments about her billionaire status, finding her response—saying it’s "distasteful to talk about money"—a bit insincere.

He takes a deeper look into the behind-the-scenes PR moves that drive headlines and whether celebrities like Joaquin Phoenix are conscious of the hype around them.The conversation rounds out with an amusing take on Kristin Cavallari’s podcast and her recent breakup with a younger influencer boyfriend.

It's Chit Chat Wednesday and we have dating expert, Logan Ury! Jared and Logan dive into the complexities of dating, discussing how it can often feel situation-dependent. They explore how people’s romantic behaviors can shift based on specific interactions, with Jared reflecting on how two seemingly similar dates can result in very different outcomes. Logan suggests that sometimes we get too caught up in making assumptions, noting that people often make decisions based on incomplete information, such as whether to kiss on the first date.Jared shares his frustration with how dating can feel like a "silly dance" of coy behavior, contrasting this with the more open and sex-forward experience he’s had on some dates. He admits feeling embarrassment when misreading situations despite being a dating expert, which leads to self-reflection. Logan offers a broader perspective, explaining that more transparency in dating would help, likening it to a process of matchmaking where a third party provides critical information.They also discuss how dating apps give some insight, but there’s still a lack of full clarity, often leading to confusion and making people disposable. Logan encourages people to go beyond the surface, suggesting that spending more time with someone might reveal the deeper "iceberg" of their personality. Jared agrees but acknowledges the discomfort of confronting his assumptions.The episode also includes a conversation about Jared's experiences post-Netflix fame, where he touches on the awkward dynamics of receiving invitations for drinks from fans in different cities. While Jared enjoys socializing after shows, he admits to a struggle between temptation and wanting a meaningful connection, all while dealing with the pressure of public expectations. They discuss how dating apps and first-date norms can feel frustrating or limiting, especially when personal preferences and sexual boundaries come into play. Jared reflects on two recent dates: one that felt more sex-forward and liberating, and another where the traditional "no kiss on the first date" boundary left him feeling out of sync with his date. Logan compares this to the structure of Orthodox matchmaking, where clear communication and third-party guidance help navigate such situations, and suggests that in dating, assumptions often obscure understanding. They both emphasize that more dates and open conversations are needed, rather than relying solely on information upfront. Jared humorously touches on his life post-Netflix fame, grappling with dating expectations while on tour, where fans reach out but often misread his willingness to engage romantically. The episode also includes lighthearted moments about feeling awkward in dating !

It's Ticked Off Tuesday! 😅😡Jared reads listener complaints and gives them the validation they deserve!!🙌This week, Jared kicks off with stories from his trip to Boca Raton, where visiting his parents in their retirement community leads to classic “social battery” struggles. Jared reflects on the endless social interactions at his parents’ gym, their community’s obsession with golf carts, and the hilariously overwhelming energy of retirees eager for conversation. He dives into a personal saga about receiving four pairs of shoes from a well-meaning acquaintance and the awkwardness of wondering if he’s done enough to show his appreciation. This segues into Jared's observations about his family dynamics and life at his parents' house. He humorously describes their home, specifically the pool house where he stays, which gives him some separation and peace. He notes how his mother tends to meddle, whether by interrupting his social encounters or rearranging his belongings in ways that drive him crazy. This leads to a frustrating moment where Jared can't find his clothes and wallet because his mother had moved them around, causing him to question his sanity. Jared talks about how small annoyances with family can spiral into exaggerated, existential frustrations. His struggle to reconcile his organized chaos with his mother’s more involved behavior leads to a mix of playful frustration, guilt, and an ongoing quest for personal space. 😅The listener emails kick off with a luxury dilemma: one mom feels guilty relaxing while her nanny takes care of her baby, wondering if the nanny is secretly judging her for enjoying free time. Jared dives into the modern pressure social media creates, making people feel guilty for using help or taking time for themselves. He reassures the listener that everyone, including the nanny, benefits from this arrangement. 🍼Another listener vents about a canceled Dane Cook show, expressing frustration at how the comedian didn’t even acknowledge the cancellation on social media. Jared shares the stress from the performer’s side of things, but agrees that not offering an explanation is frustrating, especially when fans have planned their nights around the show.Other complaints include being "trapped" by friends making plans months in advance, coworkers lacking self-awareness, and moms who ask for your opinion but do what they want anyway. Jared dives each scenario, blending humor with practical advice, making it clear he’s on the side of his listeners’ frustrations😂 Jared has shows coming up in Austin, where he’s preparing for his special!!
