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.

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.

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?

This week, Jared is joined by the Filth Queen herself, Steph Tolev, fresh off the release of her new Netflix special Filth Queen. They get real about the chaos of promoting comedy in the age of thirsty DMs, slow algorithms, and people who still haven't watched the special (but weirdly want to hook up).

Jared and Steph also play a filthy round of “Would You Rather,” debating everything from naughty swings to long, straight downstairs hair to the humiliating act of male titty-coitus.
