The JTrain Podcast

Jared’s in Dallas for Ticked Off Tuesday, hyping the Patreon (where the real complaints jump the line) and kicking things off with two everyday rants: gas stations that “label” broken pumps with a sad little piece of tape, and a new apartment with shower pressure so weak it turns bathing into a light misting. Then the listeners come in hot: one new homeowner gets hounded by the same window company so aggressively it goes from annoying to genuinely creepy, and she needs a go-to line for the dreaded “do you live alone?” question. Another duo tries to relive their Boston glory days with a casual early dinner… and discovers the city has apparently gone “velvet rope + reservation-only bar stools,” sending them on a scavenger hunt. We also get a property-line showdown (dogs, poop, and a kid sledding on someone else’s lawn), plus a grad-school friend feud where a former friend gets drunk and affectionate, then goes ice-cold sober. Plenty of petty, plenty of relatable, and just enough chaos to make you grateful you’re not the one dealing with the window guy.

Jared’s in Dallas for Mailbag Monday, pitching shows, his Walking Red Flag book, and his favorite pastime: giving brutally honest advice to strangers with zero eye contact. First up: a listener stacks two Hinge dates back-to-back, shows up late to date #2, and the text thread takes a turn that’s equal parts awkward and hilarious. Then things get real when a “perpetual girlfriend” realizes she wants marriage… and her boyfriend very much does not. Finally, we hop over to Portugal/Ireland for a long-distance romance that felt amazing for one weekend, but might be moving a little too fast, so what’s the move before she moves home? Expect travel chaos, dating math, and Jared’s signature “I’m not saying it’s bad, but…” energy.

It’s Pop Culture Thursday, and Jared Freid is breaking down the biggest Page Six headlines, straight from Delray Beach. Jared reacts to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show, plus surprise appearances from Ricky Martin, Lady Gaga, Cardi B, Pedro Pascal, Jessica Alba, Alex Earle, and David Grutman. He delves into Bethenny Frankel’s viral takes, Chris Brown and Jake Paul's stirring drama, and Tom Brady's possible hook-up with TikTok star Alex Earle. There’s also Travis Kelce repping Gigi Hadid’s fashion line, Taylor Swift’s inner circle, 50 Cent trolling Cardi B and Stefon Diggs, and Jared’s thoughts on Super Bowl culture, celebrity outrage, and why halftime shows aren’t as fun anymore. If you love pop culture, celeb gossip, and Jared’s unfiltered takes on everything from Madonna to Kim Kardashian, this episode is for you!

Jared welcomes legendary “expert in pessimism” Eddie Pepitone for a Chit Chat Wednesday that somehow turns bleak childhood memories into pure comedy gold. Eddie takes us from soot-covered Brooklyn delis to surviving the Edinburgh Fringe like a stand-up endurance athlete, and he’s got some strong feelings about being labeled “the shouty guy.” They get into the weird relationship comics have with their fans, why bad times can weirdly be “Pepitone season,” and what today’s stand-up boom is doing to the craft. Then things take an unexpected turn into gym videos, capitalism rants, and a very specific Florida breakfast order that says a lot about a person. Stick around for the menu game and the travel story that proves Eddie might actually chase historic storms on purpose.

First up, Jared’s fresh off a Fort Lauderdale to NYC to Boston travel day and gets sent into a spiral by his beloved snow boots: thick laces, constant untying, and the emotional journey from single-knot optimism to double-knot resignation.A listener follows with a very relatable airline rage: paying for a carry-on but still being forced to gate-check it, which sends Jared into a full “take boarding zones seriously” fantasy that you’ll want to hear in his exact tone. Other complaints hit the NYC snow-removal chaos and the eternal scam of street cleaning that mostly just… rearranges dirt. Finally, a listener vents about being completely turned off by dating app profiles that lead with negativity about the apps themselves.
