Justin Trudeau's admiration for Katy Perry sparks a conversation about how celebrities handle public compliments and authenticity in their relationships. Jared dives into the fine line between genuine praise and looking like a “simp,” with nods to couples like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, or Meghan and Harry, who constantly face media scrutiny. From political figures to pop stars, this episode unpacks how fame magnifies every word and gesture in love. It's a funny, thoughtful take on public perception, sincerity, and the art of saying something nice without losing your edge.The best way to cook just got better.

Chit Chat Wednesday brings on Daniel Koh, a friend and policy pro running for Congress in MA-6, to cut through DC fog with plain talk about how the House works, why algorithms reward outrage, and how good government looks from the White House down to a town liquor license. He argues results beat rhetoric, explaining how barriers kick people off Medicaid, why neighbors and clergy helped Boston cut homicides, and how DC's status games and two-minute TV hits make politicians worse at actual service. Jared pushes on slogans, civility, and the comedy-politics attention trap, while Daniel defends debating with facts instead of haymakers and says local responsiveness should follow you to Congress. They field a dating question about “moderates,” urging specifics over labels and partnership values that show up in real life. Then it's King of the World: make trains reliably on time and fix those bathroom doors, explore heated roads and smarter lights, structure debates around substance, and upgrade broadband while keeping kids' smartphones out of school. They wrap with fundraising reality, a promise to communicate like humans, and an open invite for Massachusetts listeners to get involved.The best way to cook just got better.

Ticked Off Tuesday finds Jared raspy-voiced in Richmond after a blur of flights, posting up in a mall and relishing his wander-and-cookie ritual, then venting about middle seat life as a Delta Diamond and wishing for a literal sheriff badge to flash at clueless travelers. He rails against a candy shop that smelled like someone reheated lasagna instead of magic and whimsy, and a hotel check-in where two desk clerks gave him robot silence after his attempt at small talk when he'd finally removed his headphones to be human. Listener complaints include a coworker policing water bottles and microplastics like a morality cop, the nightmare of getting to LaGuardia on public transit, and a neighbor who tattles to the HOA instead of speaking directly about dogs running on a golf course. The kicker is a Chipotle decorated with fake construction tape that looked fully closed, sending a listener on an emotional roller coaster after a brutal day working with cancer patients.Support the show and get 10% off your Hero Bread order with code JTRAIN at https://www.hero.co Support the show and get 30% off your first Cornbread Hemp order.

Finally, a couple debating a $5K destination wedding in Mexico with a toddler gets Jared's advice to either decline gracefully or treat it like a sitcom-style vacation and just enjoy it.Support the show and get 10% off your Hero Bread order with code JTRAIN at https://www.hero.co Support the show and get 30% off your first Cornbread Hemp order.

Jared hangs with comedian & impersonator Anna Roisman! They revisit You've Got Mail and the wild-west AOL days. Anna admits early “catfishing” was her first taste of impressions. Deep dive: Anna's Hilaria Baldwin saga viral parody, mass reports, a brief détente for a joint video via Hilaria's team, and the unforgettable line Anna heard in person, “I am a trained ballroom dancer…Dancing with the Stars would be unfair,” followed by the quick DWTS exit. They gush over Anna's Kris Jenner (the laugh is the tell), talk meeting “Steve” from Sex and the City (sweet, thriving on Chicago procedurals), and how seeing childhood TV stars doing regular jobs messes with fans' nostalgia. Bethenny Frankel gets love for her relentless TikTok grind (and chaos), plus a plug for Jared's DC show where Anna's opening!Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/JTRAIN and use code JTRAIN and get $50 in lineups when you play

Jared kicks off with meta-complaints about internet scolds who ruin harmless parent stories by commenting “they'll be dead one day,” then pivots to three personal gripes: Penn State football being stuck in mediocrity under James Franklin (great recruiter, stagnant offense, scary to make a change), how brutal it is to admit you're a comedian in public (the “tell us a joke/are you funny?” gauntlet), and why argument doesn't equal evil if you can keep it playful like he does with his parents. Listener submissions follow: a mother-in-law's overpowering 40-year signature perfume that lingers on everything (Jared's take: you probably have to eat it, or pull a sitcom-style “third-party cougher” intervention), a plane neighbor's bare toes on the armrest (firm “excuse me” is enough), anti–ChatGPT snobbery (it's fear and performative purity; tools are fine in moderation), and a restaurant employee plopping down a foot away to watch phone videos out loud (personal-space crime, use headphones or move). Closes by reminding listeners to send their own complaints for future Tuesdays.Support the show and get 10% off your Hero Bread order with code JTRAIN at https://www.hero.co

Mailbag Monday is back and Jared tackles three big listener dilemmas: a boyfriend who calls Ozempic “the lazy way out” and what real support should look like, whether you should bother driving an hour to return an ex's clothes or set a pickup window and move on, and the difference between a workplace dopamine crush and a stale five-year relationship that needs an honest timeline. Along the way, he talks about good noise, why “hope isn't a plan,” and how to set clear boundaries that protect your peace!Support the show and get 10% off your Hero Bread order with code JTRAIN at https://www.hero.co

Jared questions why Travis Kelce gets boyfriend bonus points for spending his birthday at Taylor's movie premiere and contrasts the vibes and fans of Taylor Swift versus Charli XCX amid that “actually romantic” dust-up.

Jared checks in from Los Angeles for another Ticked Off Tuesday, ready to turn everyday annoyances into comedy gold. First up is the chaos of calling his parents, where a simple “hello” takes a full minute, and his mom somehow “merges” calls she can't even answer properly. Then it's on to breakfast at a very L.A. café, where Jared resists two heavenly slices of baguette and butter and declares that bread should be opt-in, not automatic sabotage. Listener complaints follow, including a massage that skipped the back entirely, Target mobile orders with no straws, kids splashing in the adults-only jacuzzi, and a neighbor who won't stop “helping” with parallel parking. Whether it's phones, food, or unsolicited advice, Jared finds the funny in frustration and makes you feel a little less alone in your own petty grievances!New Factor customers get 50% off your first box, plus free breakfast for 1 year.

Jared checks in from Los Angeles for Mailbag Monday, hiccup and all, and dives into two juicy advice emails. First up, a 33-year-old New Yorker ditched Pilates for a regular gym to meet men, and Jared gently argues for joy over geography: build community where you actually like being, then let that tribe expand your dating world. He still tosses a couple of easy openers for gym-floor small talk, but the real play is Pilates night out and friend-of-a-friend intros. Next, a 25-year-old worries her boyfriend fails “dad 101” because he won't scoot over in bed and forgets the dog's water bowl, and Jared reframes it as pre-engagement nerves and a negotiation problem, not a morality play. Use “I” statements, trade lists, and aim for partnership instead of courtroom wins.

Then he dismantles the TikTok mantra “date them till you hate them,” arguing that ignoring $5 problems only turns them into $1,000 blowups have the small talks early. Next, an in-law dining dilemma: a mother-in-law who always asks to move tables; his move is tactical detachment, go “wash your hands,” don't sit until the seating czar approves, and stop treating preferences like moral crimes. He also shares updates on the Table for One tour, a finished special, a finished book, and the daily 20-minute minimum promise.

He recaps a dream weekend of shows in Denver, previews sold-out stops in Providence and Boston, and drops fresh tour dates all over the map. He delves into classic listener emails, covering the tricky world of post-breakup dating and even how to make new parent friends without it feeling like a suburban swingers' invitation. His advice is equal parts heartfelt and hilarious, reminding listeners to set boundaries, keep things fun, and maybe plan a barbecue with cookies as the hook. As always, he signs off with plenty of plugs and just the right dose of feather-light wisdom.Support the show and get $10 off your first month's subscription of Nutrafol, plus free shipping with promo code FEATHER at https://www.nutrafol.com

In this week's Pop Culture Thursday, Jared dives right into a mix of pop culture headlines, from Julia Fox's confusing sexuality “clarification” to the oddly awkward obituary of TikTok star John Crawley, better known as “King Beard X.” He jokes about how embarrassing it would be if his own comedy nicknames showed up in his obituary. Things get wilder with a Hamptons story of a woman in her 50s allegedly biting a six-year-old during a t-shirt gun brawl—something Jared insists should mean jail time. He pokes fun at a headline calling Austin Butler “fearless” for shooing away a bee near Zoë Kravitz, and rolls his eyes at Jay Cutler airing divorce grievances online. To wrap it up, Jared defends the Coldplay kiss cam, insisting we can't let cheaters ruin a fun tradition. It's goofy, ranty, and oddly heartfelt all at once.Support the show and get up to 10 free HelloFresh meals at https://www.hellofresh.com/jtrain10fm

News during the height of the Kardashian era, and how Kris Jenner helped launch him into reality TV.

It's another Ticked Off Tuesday, and Jared is back to duet your complaints with gusto! First up, his mom somehow turned “I went to bed early” into a dire medical emergency; nothing like parental concern to turn rest into a diagnosis. We've got a listener fed up with t-shirt cannon “performers” who think they're auditioning for So You Think You Can Dance instead of, you know, actually launching shirts. Another transplant from NYC to Atlanta is shocked to find the real summer villain isn't the humidity, it's indoor workplaces kept at a balmy 81 degrees. Plus, someone's blocking a one-way street with hazards on despite a sea of open parking spots, and Jared's not having it. All that, a few tangents, and the sweet release of shared pettiness.Support our show by clicking below!Support the show, and get 10% off your Hero Bread order.

It's Mailbag Monday, and Jared is diving into your dating dilemmas with the precision of a gossip surgeon. First up, a listener had a promising Hinge date lined up, until she sent the “we should probably cancel” text upon realizing he's a recent ex of her friend. Did the ex wave her off, or is this just modern dating's efficiency mode kicking in? Then, a post-volleyball romance that's stuck in the Thursday-night-after-the-game loop, with zero movement toward a real plan. Jared breaks down why “make a plan and I'm in” should be your new mantra, and why vague dating purgatory is the enemy of progress. Plus, a few tangents, some travel gripes, and the occasional unsolicited Woody Allen quote!Support the show, and get 10% off your Hero Bread order.

It's Pop Culture Thursday, and Jared is dishing a headline buffet straight from Page Six. He dives into the Taylor Swift multiverse — from her “announcement of an announcement” album drop to Marvel-movie-level Easter eggs that keep superfans in overdrive. Jared riffs on Swift's internet tribalism, the romantic economics of dating her (hi, Travis Kelce), and even a snake-related bathroom demolition courtesy of Zoe Kravitz. Along the way, he skewers wild fan theories, Martha Stewart's Real Housewives shade, and Leonardo DiCaprio's so-called “mortified” pat-down. Add in Dua Lipa birthday buzz, a Vanity Fair shake-up, and one eyebrow-raising Kelly Clarkson ex subplot, and you've got an episode that's equal parts gossip, comedy, and “did he just say that?”

On this Chit Chat Wednesday, Jared sits down with comedian Peter Revello for a hilarious and insightful conversation about growing up in Staten Island. Peter shares stories about the construction worker culture he was surrounded by, and how the Verrazzano Bridge changed everything for the borough. They talk about accents, stereotypes, and how Staten Island shaped their relationships, including how Peter met his wife at a Tottenville pizzeria! The conversation touches on marriage, moving to Florida, and the everyday realities of comic life. Plus, they wrap with a game of “Scummy or Yummy,” judging everyday behaviors and whether they're lowbrow or lovable!Support the show and get 25% off your first Tommy John order at https://www.tommyjohn.com/FEATHER
