• Gift-Wrapping Boyfriend: Is it too much to ask for your boyfriend to wrap your Christmas gift? Jared calls out lazy holiday behavior.

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. Whether you’re navigating relationship doubts, friendship drama, or just need a laugh, this episode has something for everyone.

It's Pop Culture Thursday, where Jared dives into the juiciest stories from Page Six and beyond, offering his hilarious takes and sharp observations!

Jared kicks things off by reacting to an unexpected holiday gem: the Kelce brothers' festive review of Love Actually. Can these NFL stars appreciate rom-coms, or are they sticking to their playbooks? Then, Jared unpacks one of the most talked-about celebrity news stories of the week—Blake Lively’s sexual harassment complaint against It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni. From the allegations to the ensuing PR wars, Jared breaks down how Hollywood spins stories, pits reputations against each other, and why some headlines feel more like strategy than substance!

The conversation doesn’t stop there. Jared breaks down the ever-evolving PR wars of celebrities like Blake Lively, whose carefully crafted image sparks debate, and Bill Belichick’s red carpet debut with his much-younger girlfriend, raising eyebrows and solidifying his "PR nightmare" reputation. Plus, a juicy Palm Beach scandal involving an heir to the Dodge fortune, racy playing cards, and an altercation at the exclusive Breakers resort serves as the perfect dessert to this week’s pop culture feast.

From love stories to lawsuits, Jared serves up hot takes on how PR machines are controlling the narrative—and why we, the audience, eat it all up.

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! 🎅

It's Mailbag Monday!! 💌 Jared returns from the road with answering your mailbag mondays!! Happy Holidays!! 🎄❄️

This week on Mailbag Monday, Jared tackles a deeply personal listener dilemma titled "He dumped me because I'm not Jewish!!" Jared breaks down the intricacies of this breakup and offers his signature blend of empathy and humor while addressing broader themes of cultural compatibility and dating values.

Plus, he shares hilarious stories from the road, reflects on the process of building a new stand-up set, and answers listener questions about dating, relationships, and navigating modern love. It's a packed episode of insights, laughs, and Jared's take on your most pressing dating dilemmas.

In this festive mailbag Monday episode, Jared Freid dives into the Christmas spirit from a suburban oasis and shares his love for the season—even as a Jewish observer enjoying the world's holiday hustle. From nostalgic drives to see Christmas lights to debates about Jewish identity and dating preferences, Jared brings his signature humor and perspective to the mic! Which is interesting especially because his first email is about Jewish faith!

Today’s mailbag features two listener emails. First about a "rom-com-worthy dating dilemma" involving promises, faith, and deal-breakers? The emailer asks Jared if differing religious beliefs, specifically Judaism, are a dealbreaker in their dating life. They share concerns about navigating cultural differences and values, prompting Jared to dive into how to approach dating someone from a different religious background while staying true to your own needs and identity.

Second email is a fun wedding question about grooms' party dynamics that sparks a broader discussion. In this heartfelt mailbag episode, Jared dives into a wedding dilemma from a listener torn over whether to include his high school best friend as a groomsman. Should old friendships, even ones that have faded over time, be honored in such a big life event? Jared offers thoughtful advice on balancing emotional connections, the pressure of wedding party symmetry, and the true meaning behind choosing groomsmen. Plus, he shares personal insights on navigating friendships and life’s big celebrations. Tune in for a reflective, hilarious, and relatable discussion just in time for the holidays!

Plus, Jared shares updates about his 40th birthday trip to New Zealand, upcoming comedy shows, and why this week is the perfect time to spread the word about JTrain Podcast to friends and family.

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.

Podcast” with Jordana Abraham of Betches, where they discuss their takes on modern dating with issues ranging from apps to hookups to relationships.

This week on the JTrain Podcast, Jared Freid sits down with his hilarious friend and comedian Nimesh Patel for a packed Chit Chat Wednesday! They dive into Nimesh’s life as a new dad, sharing what’s surprised him most about fatherhood. Jared also quizzes Nimesh about the looming TikTok ban and how the app has played a major role in his career—leading to a shocking revelation that leaves Jared speechless. Lastly, they get into the mysterious drones over New Jersey, sparking wild theories and laughs.

Plus, Nimesh reflects on his roots in New Jersey, shares why Indian comedians like him and Akash Singh crush it in New Brunswick, and talks about adding an eighth sold-out show to his run this week. 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!

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.
