It's Women Tell All time! Or at least… women tell… some? OG Golden Gal Leslie Fhima joined us to break down the incredibly tepid drama between the “Golden” season 2 crew. We saw Nicolle get called out in a very direct and measured way, some real audience love for Cheryl and Debbie, an extended Jared Freid cameo, Mel wearing greige, and yet no real accountability or explanation for The Lemon Bars Incident. Unacceptable. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices. Visit https://podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this episode of The Rose Rehash, Jared Freid breaks down the Golden Bachelor hometowns with his signature mix of insight and sarcasm. From Peg's polished charm to Debbie's emotional backstory and Cindy's push for vulnerability, Jared dives into how each family dynamic exposes Mel's emotional walls. He points out the unintentional comedy and tension that come with hometown visits, especially when the families seem more ready for love than Mel himself. As always, Jared wraps it up with hilarious reflections on relationships, connection, and the art of giving nothing on national TV!

Jared kicks off from Delray Beach with a special Ticked Off Tuesday that doubles as a free sample of his Coffee with JTrain episodes, complete with a wild, full-circle saga about buying a car. The episode blends personal storytelling with the usual mix of listener gripes and sponsor breaks. This week's complaints cover engagement gifts that trigger endless thank-you notes and guest-list pressure, a 45-minute Staples print fiasco, the pain of saving a solo seat with no one to guard your stuff, and wedding DJs blasting breakup bops like “Mr. Brightside.” It's classic JTrain, agreeing with your complaint, making you feel seen, and laughing through the chaos!Support the show and get 25% off your first Tommy John order at https://www.tommyjohn.com/FEATHERSupport the show & get 50% off your first Factor box, plus free breakfast for a year with the code JTRAIN50OFF at https://www.factormeals.com/JTRAIN50OFF
Jared is coming to you live from Delray Beach for Mailbag Monday! He sets the vibe with tour shoutouts for Winnipeg and Kansas City, plus a push to catch the weekly stand-up on YouTube. He teases a chaotic car buying saga for later this week, then jumps into emails with coffee in hand and peak football season feelings. First up, a listener drowning in her in-laws' family group chat wants a graceful exit without starting a war. Then a 35-year-old asks why Hinge matches are suddenly leading with friends with benefits and whether it is a trend or her profile. Finally, a marriage on shaky trust after an emotional affair spirals over a mysterious laptop photo and what real repair should look like.Support the show and get 25% off your first Tommy John order at https://www.tommyjohn.com/FEATHERSupport the show & get 50% off your first Factor box, plus free breakfast for a year with the code JTRAIN50OFF at https://www.factormeals.com/JTRAIN50OFF
Get ready to riff with Jared on another Pop Culture Thursday direct from Delray Beach! Fueled by coffee and headlines, JTrain dives into the week's juiciest Page Six stories, whether it's Taylor Swift engagement gossip, Dancing with the Stars casting chaos, or the Kardashian parenting police. Expect tangents, playful cynicism, and a few “just ooze, baby” moments along the way. Jared also drops tour updates (Winnipeg, Tampa, and beyond!), plugs his Patreon diary, and of course, dishes on why Jennifer Aniston's “optimism” isn't really skincare. It's your weekly brain-melt of laughs, hot takes, and headlines that sound way spicier than the actual news.Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/JTRAIN and use code JTRAIN and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup!
Jared welcomes chef/host/NYT bestseller Jake Cohen to Chit Chat Wednesday to talk all things dinner parties and his new book, Dinner Party Animal. They swap hosting secrets, from timelines and grocery lists to the “that-was-tonight?!” emergency menu (hello, baked gnocchi and roast chicken dreams). Jake makes the case for “friend-luck”: invite your favorites and require each to bring someone they love, creating a matchmaking community. They dig into why preorders matter, how to actually support an author, and why good food is the ultimate conversation lubricant. Plus, a cheeky detour into single-life adventures and a rapid-fire “Peaks & Pits” on barbecues, playlists, chips, and sides.

Ticked Off Tuesday rolls in from Providence with listener gripes and a few of Jared's own! We get sentimental over Lee Corso's final mascot pick and call out the “even as a Badger fan…” homerism that followed. There's a Marriott check-in limbo, complete with seven-minute lobby purgatory and vague updates. A three-hour Hozier marathon hijacks a salon visit, while a mid-flight pastor's prayer request and whispery sauna gossip test everyone's patience. Lighthearted rants, quick laughs, and a nudge to assemble the group chat for the next one!Get 10% off your Hero Bread order. Use code JTRAIN at https://www.hero.co
Happy Labor Day! Dating feels like job hunting, virginity confessions in your late 20s, and rebound sex that won't leave your head just another Monday with Jared on the JTrain. Between emails, Jared riffs on life from the road, comedy headaches, and whatever else sets him off that week. It's equal parts advice, rants, and oversharing, the kind of stuff you'd gossip about over brunch. Hop aboard and keep the laughs (and the complaints) rolling.Get 10% off your Hero Bread order.

This week's Pop Culture Thursday is all about, who else? Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce! Jared, aka the JTrain, is sifting through every Page Six headline and serving up his signature mix of eye rolls, laughs, and oddly specific analogies (salsa discourse included). From private-but-not-really-private wedding rumors to engagement ring drama that's allegedly “designed” by Travis, Jared calls out the hype while still giving the Swifties their due. Along the way, he plugs his Patreon, shames you into buying comedy tickets early, and reminds everyone that pop culture is a business, baby. Light, funny, and just a little noodge-y, this is your weekly dose of riffs, rants, and reality checks.
This week on The JTrain Podcast, Jared is joined by comedian Dan Soder for a classic Chit Chat Wednesday. They kick things off with laughs about body types, ranch dressing, and upcoming shows before diving into a wide-ranging conversation. Dan shares his fitness routine, stories from life on the road, and why he prefers hanging out with eager new comics over bitter old ones in the green room. The two swap food favorites, reminisce about their college days, and debate tipping etiquette for green room staff. They also get into comedy shop talk, from opener etiquette and overlapping material to how comedians should treat their audiences. To top it off, they imagine a hilarious comedy Supreme Court made up of the most influential comics. It is a fun, unfiltered hang between two sharp comics you will not want to miss!
Jared is back with another Ticked Off Tuesday, diving headfirst into life's little annoyances like why bacon still isn't packaged with a zip-top, gyms doubling as water bottle obstacle courses, and grocery store shoppers who treat the aisles like a family reunion. Along the way, he shares his undying love for Trader Joe's peanut butter pretzel nuggets, vents about YouTube frustrations, and previews his upcoming tour stops. Listeners write in with their own hilarious complaints, from restaurants overloading delivery bags with cutlery to streaming services that make binge-watching way harder than it should be. It's classic JTrain: funny, relatable, and just the right amount of petty!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
Jared is back on the mic for another Mailbag Monday, bringing laughs straight from sunny Delray Beach. 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
On this episode of the JTrain Podcast, Jared welcomes comedian Michael Yo for a fun and wide-ranging chat. They laugh about Jared's Golden Bachelor cameo, Michael's time at E! News during the height of the Kardashian era, and how Kris Jenner helped launch him into reality TV. Michael also shares how Chelsea Lately jump-started his comedy career and previews his new A&E series 1000 Ways to Dine, highlighting unforgettable food adventures from underwater dining to intimate meals in Italian homes.Support the show and get up to 10 free HelloFresh meals at https://www.hellofresh.com/jtrain10fm
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
It's time for another Ticked Off Tuesday, and the complaints are as strong as ever! One listener is furious after ordering the same air filter size, only to find the company quietly changed the dimensions. Another vent about a wellness spa using bizarre quotes from Joe Rogan and Yelp reviewers that have nothing to do with their services. A Barry's Bootcamp fan is left frustrated after a canceled class with no real apology. And someone trapped next to a cologne-covered passenger on a flight is begging for scent-free zones.Support the show and get 50% off plus free shipping on your first Factor box.

It's another Mailbag Monday, and Jared is diving into three fresh dilemmas from the inbox! One listener is caught in family drama over a Wednesday wedding that clashes with a European vacation. Another wants to turn a friendly drink with a former coworker into something a little more flirty. And a Kansas City fan shares a mortifying nail salon story involving a chipped manicure, a rude technician, and a public accusation. Jared gives his take on navigating tricky invites, subtle signals, and awkward customer service encounters.

They talk about red carpets, Getty Images pressure, and K's experience attending movie premieres with celebs like Pedro Pascal and Jared Leto. The Bachelor in Paradise reboot gets a full breakdown, from sketchy production decisions to the unexpected charm of the Golden contestants.

This Ticked Off Tuesday features four fresh complaints that prove the little things can drive us nuts! But we start off with Jared's food complaint! One listener is fuming over a coworker who cuts into every dessert to sample them before anyone else gets a bite. Another is tired of golf coverage that feels more like a Rory McIlroy documentary than a major tournament. There's frustration over constant interruptions during podcast me-time, and a red-eye flight disaster caused by a tray table that cannot handle its own airline cup.

It's Chit Chat Wednesday, and Jared is coming to you from Bloomington, Indiana, with comedian and friend Brendan Sagalow. They dive right in by roasting each other's podcast names (is “SAG Daddy Da Pod” genius or insane?)
Jared is here from Bloomington, Indiana, ready to co-sign your pettiest complaints and maybe even make them worse (in a good way). This week, he dives into the viral CEO cheating scandal at a Coldplay concert, because nothing screams New England drama like getting caught on the kiss cam. Jared rants about self-appointed TikTok “reporters” and the internet's obsession with schadenfreude, while also sharing why this whole saga just makes him sad. Listener gripes include the absurdity of 45-minute train delays that never actually happen, doctors hogging all the close parking spots while nine-month-pregnant women waddle across the lot, and the nerve of people demanding free handmade crafts from a hobbyist. Plus, Jared settles a family debate about whether DMing a comedian is “weird” or just enthusiastic fandom. It's a full lineup of complaints, laughs, and hot takes you didn't know you needed.Get 20% off your first Vuori purchase at https://www.vuori.com/JTRAIN
Mailbag Monday is here, and Jared is fresh from Bloomington, Indiana, ready to dive into your life dilemmas straight from his inbox! This week, he tackles a “petite” dating conundrum: should you keep seeing someone when the sparks (and kisses) just aren't cutting it? Plus, Jared goes off on a tangent about words, body image, and why no man wants to be called “petite” (spoiler: it hits harder than you think). We also get into the weirdness of offering friendship right after a date, and Jared breaks down how to kindly say “thanks, but no thanks.” Later, a coffee shop drama brews when a listener gets banned from chatting with baristas during a soft opening. Was the owner out of line? Jared's got thoughts, some strong opinions, and plenty of laughs in between. Sit back, sip your latte, and enjoy another no-filter ride on the JTrain!Support the show and get 20% off your first Vuori purchase at https://www.vuori.com/JTRAIN

Plus, Jared shares behind-the-scenes stories from taping with Jay Shetty and Whitney Cummings, rants about Meghan Markle's Netflix deal, and gives his thoughts on Gwyneth Paltrow's lips.

Jared Freid and Jordana Abraham-Marinelli from the U Up? Podcast are joining the gals for some comedy and a little dating therapy. Jared is discussing solo movie night. The twist? He ends up sitting next to a group of teen girls. Yep, a grown man, almost 40, alone, surrounded by shoeless Gen Z besties. We have questions…. Are full-blown meals at the movies a red flag? (Jared swears by Raisinets and water only.) And.. is a movie a bad idea for a first date? (Sorry, Danielle and Ryan.) Brooke is confessing the sheer panic of watching Love Island (a very “sex-forward” show, if you will) with her boyfriend's parents. But seriously… missing an episode of Love Island? Not an option. And for the single gal pals, why not join Jared's Summer Dating Challenge?

Jared reads through your gripes, from waiting 30 minutes for a basic coffee thanks to a trainee takeover, to losing a window seat to an entitled airplane squatter.

Whether it's car drama, travel rage, or coffee shop chaos, Jared's here to validate your petty (but valid) frustrations! Support the show and get 10% off your Hero Bread order.

It's Mailbag Monday on the JTrain Podcast, and Jared is diving into three juicy listener dilemmas! One emailer grapples with lingering feelings for an ex-turned-best-friend she cut off for the sake of her engagement, is one final convo warranted, or is silence the closure? Another listener is sick of the judgment for being single at 30 and wants advice on how to shut down the nosey questions. And finally, a Bahamas getaway turns into Love Island chaos when one flirty vacation hookup goes cold, should she shoot her shot or leave it on read? Jared breaks it all down with his signature mix of empathy and laughs!Support the show and get 10% off your Hero Bread order. Use code JTRAIN at https://www.herobread.co
