My Date Canceled because she knows my Ex! Help! - MONDAY MAILBAG - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid Aug 18, 2025

Show notes

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!

Taylor Swift Thoughts, Housewives of New York Casting, and Leo D Frisked! - POP CULTURE THURSDAY - The Jtrain Podcast w Jared Freid Aug 14, 2025

Show notes

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?”

Show notes

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. Jared gives each gripe the spotlight it deserves!
