My Mother-In-Law Won't Stop Moving Tables! Help! - MONDAY MAILBAG Sep 22, 2025

Show notes

Jared kicks off a classic three-email Mailbag Monday from the road before diving into the good stuff. First up: a listener nine months into a serious relationship asks how to handle two persistent guy texters (one old flame, one married coworker); Jared recommends a graceful “text breakup” to clear space for the new relationship. 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. Quick, candid, and just the right amount of chaotic.

Pun Showdown in the Sky Club with Matthew Brousard - CHIT CHAT WEDNESDAY Sep 17, 2025

Show notes

Matthew Brousard is on the podcast this week! What started as a delta lounge complaint, got him an invite to an impromptu recording of a Chit Chat Wednesday! They kick things off by debating the Delta Sky Club water spout sign, which sparks a full spiral into germs, paper cups, and Jared’s nostalgia for the big Aquafina bottles. Matthew also opens up about his early stand-up insecurities, comparing himself to comics with “weird” material while he stuck to dating stories, and how success with mainstream crowds eventually proved his lane had value. From there, the conversation winds through money, bragging, and career strategy, before shifting to Matthew’s wordplay obsession. Jared even puts him to the test with a live pun challenge, making for a segment that feels part game show and part Chappelle-style punchline reveal. It is an episode full of laughs, insecurities turned lessons, and a reminder that even the silliest complaints or the corniest puns can spark the best conversations.

NFL Week 1 Bets & Who Ya Got?! Ramblin Gamblin Thunder Dan- CHIT CHAT WEDNESDAY Sep 10, 2025

Show notes

It’s Chit Chat Wednesday on the JTrain podcast, and Jared welcomes back resident gambling sage “Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Thunder Dan” for their annual futures-fest from Delray Beach. They roast Week 1 overreactions, nerd out on lines versus “the public,” and circle a spicy Saints-Cardinals spread that has Jared dreaming of home-dog glory. Thunder Dan dishes season-long takes, including Bills buzz, Chiefs skepticism, and Ravens versus Steelers drama while explaining how he balances dad life with a fall full of football (hint: shared apps, not solo dinners). The boys also swap friend-group Sunday strategies, from bar crawls to a literal TV party boat, and play a delightful “Who You Got?” for game-day personalities you love to loathe. Locks, long shots such as Lamar rushing over or KC to miss the playoffs, and a sprinkle of Jordan Love MVP delusion round out a breezy, belly-laugh episode you can bet on.

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.

It’s your weekly brain-melt of laughs, hot takes, and headlines that sound way spicier than the actual news.
