    The Garbage Plate, Mascots, and Bathroom Rules - TICKED OFF TUESDAY - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

    Jared kicks off the episode with a debate about the show's intro musicā€”does it really turn people away, or is it just part of the fun? Then, he takes a hilarious deep dive into Rochester's infamous garbage plate, questioning its status as an "American dish" and dissecting its chaotic ingredients. Along the way, Jared shares his upcoming show dates, a real-life Nutrafol testimonial, and why his mom's brutal honesty keeps him grounded.


    Later he gets to the Ticked Off Tuesday complaints straight from Patreon:

    Facebook Meme Overload: A listener's retired aunt and uncle constantly send 30+ memes and recipes a day via Facebook Messenger. Despite silencing notifications, it's awkward when they bring up the posts in person.

    Bathroom Breakdown at Coffee Shop: A listener visits a coffee shop only to find both bathrooms out of order with no prior notice. They suggest there should be a sign on the front door to warn customers.

    Gas Station Bathroom Drama: After multiple failed attempts to use a bathroom at different gas stations, a listener resorts to using a patch of grass in a parking lot. They are frustrated that gas stations donā€™t offer better bathroom access.

    First up, a listener wonders if sheā€™s the bad guy for prioritizing her boyfriend over her long-time friend groupā€™s brunches. Sheā€™s a single mom with limited free timeā€”so is she selfish, or just setting healthy boundaries? Jared breaks down how to bow out without burning bridges!

    Then, we hear from a divorced doctor navigating the tricky world of name changes. Should she keep her professional identity intact while taking her future husband's name socially? Or will this lead to a lifetime of awkward explanations at parent-teacher conferences? Jared weighs in on how to balance tradition, career, and personal identity.

    Office Bathroom Shaming, Doctors Appointments, and Interviews - TICKED OFF TUESDAY - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

    Itā€™s Ticked Off Tuesday, and the complaints are rolling in! This week, Jared reacts to a CEO who has way too much to say about office bathroom habitsā€”seriously, why is she so obsessed with #2 etiquette? Then, a longtime patient gets stonewalled by a doctorā€™s office that refuses to schedule them in the morning, despite years of loyalty. And finally, a job candidate jumps through every possible hiring hoopā€”six rounds of interviews, a case study, three glowing referencesā€”only for the recruiter to demand more proof theyā€™re worthy of an average finance role (oh, and a two-week background check to top it off). Jared is here to commiserate, rant, and break it all down with his signature mix of humor and outrage.

    My Boyfriend Has An Onlyfans Account! - MONDAY MAILBAG - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

    Jared is back with another Mailbag Monday, and this week, weā€™ve got two tough dilemmas that need his signature blend of honesty and humor!!

    First up, a listener is haunted by a friend breakup that feels more like a slow, painful ghosting. After years of deep connection, their friend pulled away when they were struggling with depression, eventually cutting ties while still keeping the door cracked just enough to leave them wondering what went wrong. How do you move on when a once-close friend makes you feel like an afterthought? Jared breaks it down.

    Then, weā€™ve got a relationship curveball: a listener just found out that her long-term boyfriend, whoā€™s been complaining about money and the cost of an engagement ring, had been secretly spending on OnlyFans while they were together. He says sheā€™s overreactingā€”but is she? Jared weighs in on trust, finances, and what this reveal really means for their relationship.

    Hit play for Jaredā€™s unfiltered take on these tricky situations! šŸŽ™ļøšŸ’Œ

    From Jokes to Gelato with Turner Sparks - CHIT CHAT WEDNESDAY - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

    This weekā€™s Chit Chat Wednesday is a comedy deep dive with the hilarious and well-traveled Turner Sparks! Before becoming a full-time comedian, Turner spent over a decade in China, where he not only performed stand-up but also ran his own Mister Softee ice cream business in Suzhou. (Yes, reallyā€”stand-up and soft serve!) He shares how selling ice cream in China prepared him for the comedy hustle and the unexpected lessons he learned from running a business abroad.

    Jared, fresh off his own trip to Australia and New Zealand, picks Turnerā€™s brain on what itā€™s really like to perform for international audiencesā€”how American comedy translates abroad, the wild misconceptions people have, and the surprising moments that come with being a comedian on the road.

    They also reminisce about the early days of podcasting (remember downloading episodes in chunks?), the unique connection between podcasters and their listeners, and why certain shows feel like comfort food for the brain. Plus, Turner shares his experience as a regular guest on an Auckland radio show, explaining American culture to Kiwis, and launching his own podcast, Black and White Advice.

    Itā€™s a fun, globetrotting conversation filled with laughs, insights, and some unexpected detoursā€”including how an ice cream truck in China led Turner to a career in comedy.

    Delta Diamond Medallion Line, Doordash Gift Cards, and Complaining Neighbors - TICKED OFF TUESDAY - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

    Jared is back from Australia and has a lot to get off his chestā€”starting with his nightmare experience with Deltaā€™s Diamond Medallion Line. āœˆļøšŸ’Ž Youā€™d think being a loyal traveler would get you some perks, but instead, Jared got the runaround while trying to get back to NYC. He breaks down the frustrating reality of airline status, long hold times, and the illusion of elite treatment. šŸ˜¤šŸ“ž

    And of course, weā€™ve got three top-tier listener complaints that will have you nodding in frustration:

    • šŸš¶ā€ā™‚ļø Footstep Fury ā€“ A listenerā€™s downstairs neighbor (Bob) is losing sleep over the sound ofā€¦footsteps. Despite rugs, slippers, a sound machine, and earplugs, Bob claims itā€™s ruining his health. Is there anything they can doā€”or is this just city living? šŸ™ļøšŸ”Š
    • šŸ½ļø Gift Card Guilt ā€“ Did you know that DoorDash digital gift cards notify the sender when you use them? šŸ˜³ One listener found out the hard way when their friend texted right after they redeemed it. Now they canā€™t stop wonderingā€¦ why hasnā€™t the $100 card they sent 10 months ago been used?! šŸ¤”šŸŽ
    • šŸŽ™ļø Podcast Intro Problems ā€“ Ever get confused when a podcast starts with a preview instead of a jingle? This listener hates the trend, thinking they accidentally skipped an episode. Bring back the train horn, the jingles, and the fun! šŸš‚šŸŽµ

    Jared breaks it all down with his signature rants, laughs, and top-tier advice. Enjoy the pod and send in your own ticked-off moments for next time! šŸ’Ø
