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.Email your questions to jtrainpodcast@gmail.com or DM the pod on Instagram @jtrainpodcast
