Zoloft, Nepo Babies & Worst Slang with Hanna Dickinson - CHIT CHAT WEDNESDAY - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid Jun 25, 2025

Show notes

This week on Chit Chat Wednesday, Jared is joined by comedian and friend Hannah Dickinson for a hilariously honest convo about anxiety, career confusion, and why Zoloft just might be the New York City vitamin. They dive into social media-fueled existential spirals, the mystery of nepo babies dominating Cannes panels, and what it means to feel “behind” at 33. Jared shares his “funny for money” win, while Hannah admits her gratitude journal might be a passive-aggressive birthday gift. Plus, they hilariously roast the five worst slang words (looking at you, “no cap” and “bussin”). It’s comedy therapy with a side of eye-rolls and curly fries. Slay? No. Just press play!

Show notes

It’s Chit Chat Wednesday on The JTrain Podcast, and Jared welcomes back fan-favorite and fellow rant enthusiast Nathan Macintosh. The two comedians dive headfirst into a swirl of hilarious grievances, from subway etiquette and garbage man envy to the terrifying rise of AI and shrinking studio spaces at ESPN. Jared plugs Nathan’s stand-up special Down with Tech, and they unpack how some of its dire warnings are already coming true. They explore everything from creative fulfillment and universal basic income to why dating apps were built for nerds, not charmers. Then, they debut a brand-new segment: Worst Five - kicking it off with the worst male names (sorry, Jareds, Blakes, and Julians). Expect quick wit, sharp takes, and just the right amount of outrage. It’s a perfectly chaotic episode of insight, complaint, and comedy.

Big Showers, Milk Options, and "You get the next one!" - TICKED OFF TUESDAY - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid Jun 17, 2025

Show notes

It’s Ticked Off Tuesday on and Jared is broadcasting from the “presidential suite” of a Pittsburgh boutique hotel, complete with two shower heads that can’t even hit him at the same time. He kicks off the episode with his complaint, then dives into listener gripes: from the Delta One Lounge failing to serve almond milk (the Beyoncé of alt-milks), to flavorless adult medicine that feels like swishing around “diarrhea water.” There’s also a burrito shrinking crisis sweeping the nation and a business trip horror story featuring a co-worker’s husband who keeps picking up tabs, then demanding repayment like it’s a debt. Jared validates, escalates, and hilariously unpacks every minor injustice. If you’ve ever felt personally offended by a small portion size or a passive-aggressive Venmo request, this one’s for you. Tune in! Also, Jared is on the road 👉 https://jaredfreid.com/ Go see him live!!

How Do I Dump A Nice Guy? - MONDAY MAILBAG - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid Jun 16, 2025

Show notes

It’s Mailbag Monday, and Jared is answering two juicy listener emails with the honesty only a stranger can give. First up: a woman stuck in a “great on paper” relationship with a guy who’s already calling dibs in their mutual friend group, even though she’s just not feeling it. Jared breaks down how to end things gracefully and preserve your social standing. Then: a babysitter writes in after her tatted, jacked employer (read: hot single dad) asks her out for dinner and a swim, without the kid. Jared digs into the boundary-blurring mess, offers tactical advice, and issues a PSA about hot dads who “just need adult conversation.” Tune in! Also, Jared is on the road 👉 https://jaredfreid.com/

Show notes

It’s Pop Culture Thursday on The JTrain Podcast, and Jared is rifling through the latest page six drama, starting with Travis Kelce’s barely-visible tour book and how one unhinged Swiftie turned it into breaking news. Then, Jared unpacks the Billy Ray Cyrus family feud: his son Trace publicly calls him “evil” for skipping Mammy’s funeral (yes, Mammy), while Elizabeth Hurley posts naked birthday pics celebrating their love. We also cover Orlando Bloom bringing his emotional support dog to Fallon amid Katy Perry breakup rumors, and the Beckham family’s latest no-contact saga. Plus: Aaron Rodgers’ smug mystery marriage, Bella Hadid’s ghosting immunity, and MrBeast’s $500,000 Disneyland date. This episode is packed with rants, PR theories, and some light judgment of people who use the term “Mammy” in public. Jared reads, reacts, and keeps the gossip unreasonably honest.

Jared’s Florida Move with Summer Rose - CHIT CHAT WEDNESDAY - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid Jun 11, 2025

Show notes

It’s Chit Chat Wednesday on The JTrain Podcast, and Jared sits down with friend and professional organizer-to-the-stars, Summer Rose of Star Organizers. Fresh off helping Jared with his move to Delray Beach, Summer shares her secrets for stress-free moving, from coordinating junk removal to making clutter disappear like magic. They dive into emotional attachments to objects, why people hold onto things they shouldn’t (looking at you, signed jersey), and how decluttering can be deeply liberating. Summer also spills on the craziest move she’s ever managed, let’s say it involves a rogue moving truck and a surprise detour to Vegas. Plus, they explore how her job affects dating, what she’s learned about people through their possessions, and the social performance of saying “moving is expensive.” It’s hilarious, insightful, and oddly motivating. Whether you’ve moved recently or are tripping over boxes from 2019, this episode is a must-listen!!
