This week on the JTrain Podcast, Jared is joined by his hilarious longtime friend, comedian GregStone , for a Chit Chat Wednesday that covers everything from musicals to intergalactic invasions.

Jared kicks things off with his current obsession: the cultural fever surrounding Wicked. From there, the conversation transitions into fandoms, with Greg sharing his love for Star Wars and the pair discussing how Family Guy hilariously pokes fun at the plot holes in the beloved franchise through its parody episodes😅

And just when you think things can’t get any more out there, Jared and Greg dive into a hypothetical: what would it really be like if aliens came to Earth? Would humans survive? Thrive? Or be reduced to alien pets?

It’s a fun, unpredictable ride filled with pop culture, laughs, and classic Chit Chat Wednesday chaos. Don’t forget to comment, subscribe, and share your favorite moments from the episode!

It's TICKED OFF TUESDAY! Jared is back with a fresh batch of listener gripes for this week’s Ticked Off Tuesday episode! 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). He’s taking you through the highs and lows of TSA PreCheck, Clear, and the eternal struggle of boarding etiquette. 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. Jared’s advice? Maybe it’s time to find a man with a passport.

🛍️ Price Tag-less Nightmares: Shopping without price tags? One listener shares the frustrating experience of guessing games at a men’s clothing store—where even the staff didn’t know the prices. “Conversation starter”? More like conversation stopper.

🚗 The Setup Struggle: A coworker “helpfully” suggests meeting up with a visiting colleague—cue the internal debate between being polite and faking diarrhea. Jared’s got some sharp takes on how to dodge these awkward invites.

Get ready to laugh, groan, and maybe yell, “Same!” as Jared dives into these perfectly petty problems. Don’t miss it! 🎙️

Have a gripe of your own? Send it to [email protected], or better yet, join the Patreon for exclusive complaint-read privileges. Your frustration deserves a microphone, and Jared’s ready to co-sign your outrage!

It's Mailbag Monday! 💌 Feather, feather! Jared Freid is here to bring his signature blend of empathy and tough love to two complicated listener dilemmas. First, a listener writes in about her rollercoaster relationship with a long-term booty call. She’s caught feelings, but he’s keeping her at arm’s length while hooking up with others. Jared dives deep into the male perspective, breaking down why someone can feel a connection but still refuse to commit.

Next, we tackle a heartfelt question from a listener who’s had to choose between love and career. After a breakup spurred by conflicting dreams—grad school in two different countries and a future in Europe—he’s wondering if following his dream meant losing the love of his life. Jared offers clarity and advice on balancing love, ambition, and long-term compatibility.

Whether you're navigating messy "situationships" or tough life choices, this episode is a must-listen. Don’t miss Jared’s insightful advice and hilarious takes on dating, relationships, and everything in between!

On this episode of the JTrain Podcast, Jared Freid delivers his signature blend of humor and cultural commentary live from Boca Raton. It’s Pop Culture Thursday, and Jared dives into nine of the hottest stories of the week, including Joey Graceffa’s historic win on Dancing with the Stars, Scott Disick’s latest drama, and the peculiar unveiling of Kim Kardashian's AI-inspired "robot." Jared reflects on Thanksgiving traditions, family dynamics, and the comforts and challenges of being home for the holidays. He shares personal updates about his comedy special, upcoming tour dates, and musings on fan messages about his travels, including his forthcoming stops in Australia and New Zealand.

Jared breaks down why Joey was perfectly built for Dancing with the Stars success, exploring his athletic background and likeable persona, while also discussing the history of winners on the show. He transitions into a discussion of the future of Vanderpump Rules, analyzing Bravo's decision to recast the show with a younger, closer-knit group to return to its roots. Jared provides sharp insights into how reality TV evolves and the challenges of maintaining authenticity as casts grow wealthier and more distant from the show's original concept.

This episode is a mix of pop culture breakdowns, comedic tangents, and Jared's relatable commentary, offering listeners both laughs and thoughtful observations.

It's Chit Chat Wednesday! Jared is joined by good friend and comic Anthony DeVito. Jared and Anthony dive into everything from Anthony’s wild Sunday night in Austin to his hungover morning as they chat about life on the road and drinking habits. They talk about comedy in Louisiana (and Baton Rouge’s unique energy), the growing comedy scene in Austin, and compare doing comedy there to wrestling in the hardcore CW league. Plus, they dive into the business of comedy, sports media, and, of course, the infamous look-alike contests.

The guys get into the chaos of late-night drinking in Austin, the allure of strip clubs, and the highs and lows of navigating a city full of comedians. From debunking crazy comedy show experiences to debating the value of a $100 bottle of vodka at a strip club, no topic is off-limits.

Danny shares some unforgettable stories from the road, including his take on the latest look-alike contest craze and the strange world of fans trying to match stars like Jalen Hurts and Jeremy Allen White. They also discuss the bizarre humor that comes with being in the comedy scene and why certain trends might signal the end of days—or just another sign of the times.

Plus, they dive into some personal life moments, from Thanksgiving traditions to the difficulty of staying sober on the road. Tune in for a fun-filled, irreverent episode with one of Hollywood’s most iconic stars—Danny DeVito! You won’t want to miss it!

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!! 😂🙌

This week on Mailbag Monday, Jared kicks off the show with a trigger warning for listeners, as one of the emails touches on sensitive topics related to pregnancy and abortion. If that’s something you’d prefer to avoid, feel free to skip the second email of today’s episode.

As always, Jared dives headfirst into your dating dilemmas with his signature mix of humor and honest perspective. First, he reflects on why people trust him with their deepest questions—because he’s been offering unfiltered advice for over a decade! 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. Plus, he shares exciting updates on upcoming shows in Dania Beach, Portland, Phoenix, and even Australia and New Zealand!

Don’t forget to support the show by sharing it with friends, following on Instagram, or subscribing to Jared’s Patreon for exclusive weekly content like “Coffee with JTrain,” where he gives a raw and unfiltered look into his life.

It's Pop Culture Thursday! from the West Village, Manhattan! Jared dives into the latest in celebrity news, quirky events, and a wild mix of pop culture headlines. Jared starts off the pod with an upcoming trip to Tulsa, Oklahoma, for five comedy shows and a guest spot on the I’ve Had It podcast with Jennifer Welch and Pumps. Jared shares his thoughts on personal style (inside pants vs. outside pants, anyone?) and dishes out plenty of sharp, self-aware humor.

A deep dive into the hilarity of lookalike contests, including Chicago’s Jeremy Allen White lookalike competition, complete with blue aprons and cigarettes. Jared suggests Blake Lively’s PR team might want to take notes from Timothy Chalamet’s surprise appearance at his own lookalike event! 😂

We learn Lamar Odom’s eyebrow-raising confession about a custom sex doll resembling his ex-wife Khloé Kardashian—cue the awkward laughs and Jared’s sharp commentary.

Jared discusses the backlash surrounding rumors about Pete Davidson’s alleged rehab stint and brief fling with The Bachelor alum Maria Gorgas. While Gorgas vehemently denies the claims, Jared reflects on her tendency to respond to headlines with bold, unfiltered statements, drawing parallels to her “no-apology” attitude from The Bachelor. He also touches on Pete’s struggles with addiction, empathizing with both parties while critiquing the clickbait culture around mental health.

Jared comments on more Kardashian news! The Kardashian kids are growing up! Mason Disick, 14, towers over his mom Kourtney during a grocery run. Jared notes how even mundane outings like this become headline news, reflecting on the obsession with Kardashian family updates. He goes on to comment on Singer Sabrina Carpenter stuns in a $350 Aritzia coat after her LA show. Jared jokes about the coat being relatively affordable compared to her typically extravagant outfits, speculating that the article doubles as a sneaky ad for the brand. Jared wraps up with thoughts on the viral SNL “Domingo” sketch. While he doesn’t find the content groundbreaking, he acknowledges its catchy charm and how TikTok’s sound-driven appeal keeps sketches like this trending.

Comedy legend Jay Leno’s misadventures continue—this time, a tumble down a hill leaves him bruised and bandaged. Jared shares admiration for Leno’s legacy, recalling his reputation as one of the hardest-working and kindest comics in the business, while humorously questioning why a 74-year-old is scaling steep hills.

It’s Chit Chat Wednesday, and Jared is joined by comedian Courtney  Maginnis, whose special White Noise is streaming on YouTube! They dive into everything from music debates in relationships to the quirks of dating white rappers. Courtney shares hilarious stories about her own musical mismatches and how couples therapy even helped her and her husband navigate their love for Van Halen versus Rihanna. Jared admits he’s not a “music person” and explores how music tastes can shape relationships—whether it’s bonding over yacht rock or surviving a Phish concert. Plus, hear about Courtney’s podcast, I Love You, But Your Music Sucks, and why it’s all about learning to appreciate each other’s playlists.

They dive into the post-Covid performance boom, discussing how live shows have reached new heights and why pop music is dominating the airwaves. From nostalgic hits to meaningless earworms, they unpack what makes music and live entertainment so captivating right now.

The conversation shifts to football fandom as Courtney shares her passion for the sport, her brother’s role as a coach, and how rooting for the Washington Commanders has finally become fun again. Jared adds his perspective as a Patriots fan, sparking a chat about the ups and downs of sports loyalty and the communal drama of being a fan.

Courtney also opens up about her first comedy special, White Noise, now streaming on YouTube! She reflects on the bittersweet process of letting go of material and the challenges of editing a special. Jared and Courtney trade insights on how stand-up is evolving in a world increasingly driven by social media and marketing, while staying true to their craft.

Don’t miss their candid discussion on family, politics, and finding common ground—plus a glimpse into a joke Courtney wishes she had more time to perfect!

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😅

It's MAILBAG MONDAY! 💌 🙌 Live from his hotel room in St. Louis, Missouri, while gearing up for his comedy special, Jared Freid dives into another edition of Mailbag Monday with sharp insights and laugh-out-loud moments.  

⚠️ Trigger Warning: ⚠️ The first email briefly mentions domestic violence. If you or someone you know is in need of support, please contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or visit thehotline.org for confidential resources and assistance.  

In the first email, a listener debates whether they’re being too picky for making “smoking” on a dating profile a dealbreaker. Jared weighs in with his take on the fine line between being true to your standards and giving someone a chance. Is this an unbendable boundary or an opportunity to learn more about a potential match? Jared brings his usual humor and honesty to the discussion.  The listener shares concerns about their ex partner’s controlling behavior, like micromanaging small decisions and setting rules around their daily life. Jared calls out the red flags and offers thoughtful advice on navigating this complex situation while emphasizing the importance of safety and reaching out for help when needed.  

Finally, the episode wraps up with a puzzling story involving a mysterious Uber ride sent by a former situationship. Jared hilariously dissects the possibilities—was it an accidental drunk text, a misplaced booty call, or something else entirely? His sharp observations and candid advice will leave you laughing and questioning your own late-night texts.

This episode seamlessly balances introspection, laughter, and relatable dating struggles.
