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 jtrainpodcast@gmail.com or DM the pod on Instagram @jtrainpodcast🎙 Upcoming Shows: Batavia, Portland, Phoenix, and more!

They dive into Nimesh’s life as a new dad, sharing what’s surprised him most about fatherhood.

Whether they’re debating aliens, AI, or the best way to roast Chris Christie, Jared and Nimesh’s conversation is as entertaining as it is unfiltered.The two break down the wild, unpredictable ways performers make money—from TikTok paychecks to finding five figures sitting unclaimed—and what happens when comedians finally figure out the passive income game.Nimesh also gets real about life as a new father: the sleepless nights, constant learning, and humbling realization that babies don’t come with an instruction manual. It’s a mix of comedy, relatable truths, and behind-the-scenes stories of juggling stand-up success, finances, and family.Whether you're a creator, a parent, or someone who just wants to know where your money might be hiding—this episode’s for you!Email your questions to jtrainpodcast@gmail.com or DM the pod on Instagram @jtrainpodcast🎙 Upcoming Shows: Batavia, Portland, Phoenix, and more!

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 jtrainpodcast@gmail.com or DM the pod on Instagram @jtrainpodcast🎙 Upcoming Shows: Batavia, Portland, Phoenix, and more!

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.

A 28-year-old medical student finds herself connecting with a 32-year-old attending physician, and sparks are flying!

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.

Unlike your friends and family, Jared won’t soften the truth just to avoid an awkward moment.A listener is stuck trying to navigate the tricky “intentions conversation” with a guy she’s been dating for a few months. Is he as interested as she hopes, or is she overanalyzing his behavior? 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. After a whirlwind romance leads to an unplanned pregnancy, our listener moves in with her boyfriend only to stumble upon a heartfelt letter he wrote to his ex—a week before they met. Now, she’s grappling with insecurities about their timeline, unspoken truths, and whether she’s truly his "person."Jared unpacks the situation with his signature humor and insight, exploring topics like post-breakup loneliness, boundaries with exes, and why clear communication matters more than detective work. Plus, he shares practical advice for addressing uncomfortable truths in a relationship without losing your sense of self.Throughout the episode, Jared also touches on his recent experiences in Tulsa, the highs and lows of performing live shows, and how he balances career anxieties with staying grounded.

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?

This was a horrible episode, I generally enjoy this show. This episode showed just how much of a highbrow douche Jared and his politically leaning friend are. in my opinion, this showed you who Jared is and who his real circle of friends are. didn't like Here's or Chicken wing Keith. In so many ways you have to love this show. If you aren't aware that Jared's highbrow attitude is really real, then you are clueless. We generally accept it we all have this friend. This episode showcased to me his negative side more than his comic side.

what if the guy that was at the window looks sketchy so the guy in the middle is protecting her from the weird dude by the window.
