The JTrain Podcast

It’s Pop Culture Thursday, and Jared is coming to you hot from a Chelsea hotel room with a fresh roundup of unhinged headlines. From Sydney Sweeney’s bathwater-infused soap (yes, really) to Bethenny Frankel’s thong bikini drama and mysteriously supportive daughter, the stories are as wild as ever. Jared dives into listener-submitted gems, including Cardi B's yacht-side twerking with NFL bf Stefon Diggs and MrBeast allegedly borrowing cash from his mom for his wedding, despite being worth a cool billion. He also riffs on Brooke Shields’ savage take on Meghan Markle’s painfully earnest panel story at South by Southwest. And just when you thought it couldn’t get weirder, Kylie Jenner casually drops her exact boob job specs in a TikTok comment! It’s gossip, it’s nonsense, and it’s exactly what your overstimulated brain needs!

It’s a very Freid episode of the JTrain Podcast - or should we say “Fried”? Jared welcomes hilarious comedian Nora Fried [https://www.instagram.com/norafriedcomedy/?hl=en](no relation, just vibes) for a laugh-packed Chit Chat Wednesday! The two dive into NYC dating drama, dating apps that feel like startup cults, Sex and the City takes (and takes on And Just Like That), love candles, pink bathroom wars, and what it means when your cat sabotages your freshly washed sheets!😅 Whether you're nursing a Diet Coke hangover or navigating the dating jungle with only your wits and a referral code, this episode is pure serotonin. Tune in for stories, giggles, and a whirlwind tour of Nora’s misadventures from NYC to Morocco. Leave a review if you're feeling the love, or if your favorite color is not pink.

This week on Ticked Off Tuesday, Jared unloads on everything from Branzino overload to manipulative TikTok food reviews. He rants about why hotel alarm clocks should come with a reset button, questions the credibility of viral restaurant critiques, and defends the honor of the 10,000 steps goal even if it did start as a marketing stunt. A listener writes in about getting dragged into future in-law drama via a surprise first-class upgrade, while another seeks revenge on a coworker who keeps commenting on her wardrobe as if she controls the office thermostat. Jared also tackles deceptive food labels—because measuring ravioli by the cup is culinary gaslighting. It’s a full buffet of complaints, complete with relatable frustrations, smart observations, and just enough sarcasm to keep it fun. Come for the petty, stay for the perspective.

This week, Jared reflects on dating dynamics, what it means when someone might be on the spectrum, and how to have hard conversations in relationships. He also shares thoughts on self-diagnosis, boundary setting, and why comparison can quietly erode our confidence. Plus, an update from the road, a quick plug for the Patreon, and a subtle rant about TikTok “trauma” stories. As always, your emails fuel the show, so keep them coming. New episodes drop five days a week, with Monday reserved for the advice you didn’t know you needed. Hero Bread Get 10% off your Hero Bread order with the code JTRAIN at https://www.hero.co
