Hello and welcome to the J Train Podcast. Is Jay Train Jared Freed coming alive from Jacksonville, Florida? That's right, every Tuesday is a ticked off Tuesday where you, the listener, email me the comedian with your complaints. That's all you have to do. Email me@jtrain podcast gmail.com any complaint you have now. We do. There is a caveat. If you want your complaint read and heard and agreed with, that's the rule here. I will find a way to agree with you. I will find a way to make you feel seen and heard if you want. At the top of the pile, you gotta go on Patreon. Patreon gets first dibs. Today I have four complaints from four Patreon subscribers. It's five bucks a month. You get coffee with J Train every Friday and then you get first dibs at complaining on ticked off Tuesday. I think that's a pretty good deal. $5 for your mental health. This is a mental health experience. Even as a listener, I listen to podcasts. I want to get away from my own thoughts. This is the best way to put your brain on the shelf and let me take the wheel. So if you want me to, like, get inside your brain and tinker around, this is a fun way to do it too, by emailing j train podcast gmail.com with your complaint. But the better way is to sign up for Patreon, where you'll get coffee with J Train and then you comment with your complaint on coffee with J Train. And we will get to it. I have two sponsors, four complaints from Patreon subscribers. I have my own complaint. I'm also on the road. I'm here in Jacksonville this weekend. The shows have been fun. The club here is fun. It is a throwback. It is like a. It's like the movie Roadhouse if that speaks to you. Roadhouse was this bar that was like a dingy. You know, what do they. What do they call it? A they. Oh, my God, I'm having the worst brain fart ever. They. It's it's, it's a dive bar. It looks like a dive bar that has a stage that they're like, hey, we'll let some comedians go up here and it's fun. So if you've gone to the shows in Jacksonville, thank you. I'm going to be in Austin, Texas. Cleveland, Ohio. Hamptons. The Hamptons. Miami, Florida. Really? Doral by the airport. Red Bank, N.J. foxwoods Casino in Connecticut. Portland, Maine. My first time doing stand up in Portland, a place I used to go to all the time. I love it in Portland, Maine. So I'm excited. Also the book tour, it is coming fast and furious. New York City, Boston, Philly, D.C. chicago and Denver. It's going to be one week of travel for me. I'm trying right now to little by little take small bites out of the work I have to get ahead with for that week. So I'm taping this ticked off Tuesday here in Jacksonville from my hotel room at a Marriott, a classic Marriott. That gets me to my complaint. Now that we're done with all the, the, the, the, the, the brain farts and, and the plugs. We do have two sponsors, but I, I listen the book, you can pre order the book. That would be helpful. Yeah, I would, I would appreciate that. The book is good. It's funny. There's laughs every page. Would you like to laugh every page of a book? That, that's kind of what I'm asking you. If you, and if you're saying no, I get it. Cool. I don't like to laugh every page of a book. If you want to laugh. If. Because there are jokes, there are attempts at jokes, there are attempts at. I, I don't know if you can say that about everyone in your life or every book you've ever read. You can't say that, that the book cared that you laughed every page. I cared that you laughed every page in a dating advice book. So that's, that's my goal. And I think if that's someone's honest pursuit and that sounds like a book that you'd like to say, yeah, try me. Maybe, Maybe you laugh every other page. That's still a good day. My complaint, I'm here at a Marriott in Jacksonville, Florida. The Marriott. I, I opt for a Marriott every now and again. I, There are pros and cons to a Marriott. And this is the class, you know when, if you go to the. I'm a Bonvoy guy. I don't care if you're like, if you do the Hilton, you do that Version I, it doesn't matter. They're all the same. You just have to opt for one. You have to make a decision, you have to commit. Same with airlines. Like I, I chose Delta because it had the most options from New York. You know, this isn't a personal thing. I don't, I don't think that you, as I hit, there's a hair on the camera that I just wiped off and if it ruined the whole taping, I'll literally run into traffic. Okay, so whatever you choose, the, the deal is you got to commit. I have committed to Marriott the Bonvoy Collection. Now when you stay at a Bond, when you're in the Bonvoy Collection, you can choose many different hotels. You can choose Courtyard by Marriott, you can choose W hotels, you can choose all of a whole list autograph collection. Every now and again I stay at the classic Marriott hotel. The pros are that it's like going back in time to 1999. It is a comfortable hotel that is just going to be a hotel and they're going to treat you as if you're on a business trip. They're going to have the bar downstairs that has, you know, the junk that they serve everywhere. It's going to be a lived in experience that is going to make you feel comfortable. The cons are it's not as updated. It might, it does feel like you've gone back, gone back to 1999. You, you might not be in the cool part of town, so these are all fine. But when I opt for a Marriott, I am kind of excited for the 1999 experience. And at a lot of these Marriotts they have the concierge level floor which is a throwback. People would business travel a lot more. Business travel was a bigger part of the travel economics than it is now. You can go read a number of articles about airplanes, about Delta servicing more. They make more money off of Comfort plus than they do on First Class because no one buys a first class seat. Most people buy the Comfort plus seat and then they go, oh, maybe I'll get the upgrade. The first class seat was a lot of times being bought by big businesses who were able to, you know, use that money. Because businesses don't have a soul, they don't have a conscience that says, hey, you don't deserve it.

A
No, no, no.

B
Who do you think you are? That is what happens when you book a ticket on your own. You go, who do you think you are? First class. You're not going to spend that type of money. And then you get Comfort plus. So the stuff that used to service a business traveler aren't as important to these places as they once were. But when you stay at a Marriott, there's generally a concierge level floor with a room that you can get coffee, snacks, sodas, water, and you can sit down and have a little peace and quiet. When I checked in here, I got to the front desk and they said, you have access to the concierge level floor because you are whatever Platinum Elite member I am. And they said, we do breakfast from 6am to 10 and then we do light hors d' oeuvres from 5 to 8. So I said, thank you. Sounds good. Go to the room. I say, you know what, it's three o'. Clock. Let me go check out the concierge room. I go up to the ninth floor. There's the room I walk in, it is empty. There are waters in the fridge and then there's another fridge that is locked and it's all beer and wine and alcoholic beverages. I go look for coffee, no coffee. So there is just bottles of water and places to sit with a TV running. And I thought to myself, what a letdown. I what would I rather have? Here's. And again, this is a longer complaint that is, you know, that is wrapped in a story. But the idea that I need the whatever garbage, hot Auves, they're going to do the. If it's not a pig in a blanket, you've already screwed up. Let's just assume that pig in a blanket is a. You know, there's a 10% chance of pig in a blanket. But I would rather if I had the choice between the Trader Joe's appetizers that they're going to heat up at 5 o', clock, that they do one package of, or a big old basket that sits there the whole day with a bunch of snacks that you would find at the store in the market downstairs. I'm going to take the basket of snacks and the coffee and the soda and the water. I can go get a hot hors d' oeuvre at Applebee's down the street if I really need it and want it. So I'm already let down by the concierge room experience. And I thought to myself, you know what, I'll wake up tomorrow and I'll check out the breakfast. I'll come back another time. I then come back on Friday because I got here on Thursday. Friday I get up early. I say, let's go to the concierge room. Let's do it. I wake up early, I'm going to go get my coffee, I'm going to go do some things in the concierge level room. I get to the floor and it's locked. And I'm like, this is crazy. What's going on? And not locked. Like I can't use my key card. Like actually locked. There's a lock that is done. It is not open. I go down to the front desk, I said, hey, I just wanted to ask what's going on with the concierge room. They go, oh, I'm sorry, sir, it's only open on weekdays now. This was Friday. Friday morning it is closed. So I guess we're counting Friday and as the weekend tgif. I said to them, I go, what do you mean? They go, we only open that on weekdays. During the weekends it's closed. I think you've let down your Platinum Elite members when you're not opening on the weekends. Let alone that I am a business travel and need the weekends. I understand I'm in a different space than most business travelers that use the concierge room. I am traveling on weekends, working on weekends. Most people are not. Let's say you have achieved Platinum Elite status and you and your family go on a weekend trip to Jacksonville and you say, hey, let's say at the Marriott at least we can use the concierge room because papa, your old dear dad is a big shot who can use the concierge room. Because I travel a lot and I know I miss all your soccer games and your dance recitals, but hey guys, it was all worth it because I'll get the concierge room. And then you get here and your kids look at you and say, dad, let's go see the concierge room. And then you go to the door and it's locked. And look at that. Look at that. Looks like that big commitment you made to Bonvoy was only one sided. They didn't really commit to you. They said, oh, you need a weekend. Well, that's when I'm with my family. You're my mistress. I don't give a about you. So my whole thing is it doesn't take much to leave it open the whole week. It doesn't take much to leave a basket of snacks out there and have one person go in there and pick up some trash once a day. And now you're doing and. And it goes a long way again. Those coffee machines that you press a button and it makes you an Americano, whatever the cost of that is like so minimal out of the enjoyment that versus the enjoyment I'm going to get and the disappointment I have right now that I've committed to this place and chose this hotel for a concierge room or for that to be a part of my experience. And now no gone because I'm here on a weekend. J train podcast gmail.com j train podcast gmail.com we have two sponsors. You shouldn't have to text, call and email your coworker to get a reply.

All right, let's get to it. These are from Patreon subscribers. All four today. Feather Feather. Uncle jt, you up and overshare. You up and oversharing benefit subscriber. Well, thank you. My boyfriend and I saw you in Tempe and we're both dying laughing here with a tot ticked off Tuesday about my recent parking traumas. Well, thank you for coming to the show. Means a lot. I live in Chicago and you were at the Tempe show. Well, thank you. I live in Chicago and had a meeting downtown at 11:40. Knowing parking can be difficult to find, I get there 40 minutes early just to make sure I find a space. Lucky for me, I find one immediately and begin to start my reverse for the parallel parking job. As I'm backing into this space, some guy pulls up from behind and forces himself into the space that I am 20 packed into. Going forward into a parallel parking space is an admission of guilt if you're going the front way because it it is very hard to parallel park going forwards. And if you're doing that, you're doing that to race into a spot that someone else has already achieved that to me, that tells me they are completely guilty. I honk the horn, but he gets out and leaves his car like that. Right? He's just gonna leave it badly parked. It's now 1108 and I'm circling the area until 1135. I go through seven expensive parking lots rather that I go through seven expensive parking lots rather than part street parking because I'm getting desperate. Unfortunately, all of them have signs saying full garage. It's now 11:45 and I'm late. I send an apology email and I continue to search. Now, admittedly semi hysterical, I finally see a space that I could almost fit into. But the woman to but the woman to who? The but the woman was in the space right in front of it was still sitting in her car. I pull up next to her and ask if she wouldn't mind moving up a hair so I could fit in behind her and says no, sorry, there's a line up there I can't cross. The line and sign she's referring to is a full 3ft in front of her car and she certainly has room at this point. I Am crying, and I am like, please, I'm trying to get to a meeting. There is definitely room. And she says no, and gets out of the car and walks away. I mean, you somehow found yourself in Chicago on the meanest day that's ever happened in the Midwest. I can't believe all of this has happened in Chicago. This doesn't feel like the. The. The. This doesn't feel like the temperament. Like. Like in Chicago. Anytime I've been in the Midwest, I'm like, oh, they're gonna move up. They're gonna do things for me that I can't even believe people have. Have in their hearts. I end up double parking with the flashing lights in a tow zone, sprint to my meeting, pray my car is still there when I get back. My questions. Okay, I don't know what questions you could have. This is a horrible day. Why was the first spot thief such a dick? Well, he was a dick because he knew he was wrong. When you. When you know you're wrong, you.
- [18:50]
A
You go.
- [18:51]
B
You go harder on the dick. So especially when I. When someone pulls in face first into a parallel spot, they're rushing in, they're trying to show you they're there, not you. So that guy was a dick. Because being a dick is a great way to get someone who's maybe 80% sure. If you show you're 100% sure, you can make the 80 sure person back down. And that's what he did. This is. That is, like, animalistic. That's the wild. That's the bird moving its gullet at the other bird and doing a little harder. That's. That's the. That's the dance of. Of the wild. Such a dick when there was empathy from this annoying late. Why was the first spot thief such a dick? And. And where was the empathy from the annoying lady? Well, the annoying lady is fearful. Fear is what takes away empathy. I mean, these are both. So I. I have no degree in psychology, but I can tell you I can. Someone's usually allowed dick when they know they're wrong so that they can dominate you. And then the other person doesn't have empathy because, as she said, I. I can't move forward. I. There's no room. There's no room. I can't even look. I don't even want to look. I don't want to know. I don't know. I know this isn't oversharing, but can you give me a triggered ranking on this situation? Well, this isn't. You're referencing another show that people might not listen to. They do a segment on oversharing that is called Triggered where they rank how triggered you could be. And I would say, yeah, this is a 10 considering that you have somewhere to be. You got there early. The most annoying part is getting somewhere 40 minutes early and then being late. Like achieving putting your day aside and saying, I need 40 minutes. You would think in a world 40 minutes is enough to park. That is the only I can't see a scenario where I am 40 minutes early and parking still isn't achieved. And the most annoying part is you had this meeting that you're already now frantic for and now you're parked in a loading zone and you're just expecting I'm going to lose my car in the process. So what? How, how, how much could you ever concentrate on this meeting? You, you were worse at your meeting because of this parking. And then you start going down the rabbit hole of like, do I blame the city of Chicago? Has the government let me down? That would be a thought I would have. How can a city not have enough parking for the people who are trying to work and create revenue in the city and then pay taxes in that city? So it makes you hate Chicago. That that will always live with you. That's the worst part. You've lost faith in a town that you had blind trusted. You probably wear the Chicago Bears hat. You probably wear a Cubs hat. You probably tell people, oh my God, Chicago, the nicest people in the world. And now that doubt will live with you forever. The whole city has been ruined for you. I this is horrible. Jtrain podcast gmail.com j train podcastmail.com loved your coffee with J Train episodes. Thank you. I get I get a lot of nice feedback on coffee with J Train. Ticked off Tuesday. I've been getting deep tissue massages for years due to chronic back pain. I'm dealing with that myself. However, I keep running into an issue where I can't where I can't have both pamper and pressure at the same time. Ooh, pamper and pressure. Great name for a spa that does give good pressure. For example, if I go to a traditional spa for a deep tissue massage, they nail it on the ambiance, candles, fragrant oils, soft sheets, etc. However, the massage itself just isn't enough. I'm often assigned a male masseuse who is either afraid of hurting me or feels uncomfortable. Oppositely, the places that offer the pressure I need are often feel like a doctor's office. Between the bright lights, unscented lotions, and hygiene paper. The experience just ain't it. Am I asking too much? Should the type of massage alter the overall ambiance? Signed in too deep? It is a problem. Here's your problem. Here's your problem is it's really the issue because I've gone to a chiropractor that seemingly. And I. I don't have the facts in front of me, but they had like a higher education level at. So they never. They didn't want to call themselves a chiropractor. They didn't. They had a whole different thing. And I think I. I wish I had the name in front of me, but I don't have it. But I. I remember thinking, this is a problem with the bad people because the. The people who are good at massages, who do a medical version of massage don't want to be seen as a grifter and just a spot. So they do all the other. So. So they make their office look like a doctor's office. They got the picture of the skeleton. They got like the, you know, they have the big sculpture of a skeleton. They got, you know, the medical seats. None of it's comfortable. They. They want. They decorating it to trick you into believing it's a doctor's office. And they're only doing that because the feedback they hear is, oh, we. You know, I want to get like a real massage. And you're just a chiropractor and you're not a real doctor. So it's the feedback that makes them go over doctor and less on ambiance. That's the problem. Ambiance, ambiance. Tomato, tomato. I'm just saying this is an issue with them hearing the noise because what you wrote, Pamper and pressure would be a great name for a really medically sound masseuse who also does a good job of decorating their office to have the ambiance that you would want out of a spa, but both sides. The spa doesn't want to be known as the doctor, and the doctor doesn't want to be known as the spa. So they almost go so far in different directions and that you don't get both at the same time. And it is. It is them responding to society more than anything. It's not that they can't. It's that they don't want the branding. And that's a lot. You know, that's our fault. We want easy answers. We want go spa. That's a spa. And we want to go doctor. That's a doctor. We get confused. I know this from my own life. You know how many people. Oh, Jared, you do the bachelor thing. Well, I'm a comedian. Wow. Bachelor thing. No, I'm a comedian. Bachelor thing. You know, I used to do. I used to write for. Total frat move. You know how many people I still encounter? You do like that frat thing. You know how long that took to get people to stop saying that? And then they moved on to the bachelor thing. You can't help it. So it is a problem with the general public. The gen pop isn't sophisticated enough to separate what perceived brand is from the actual product. So now we're all forced into this marketing decision. The same goes for the massage. They're forced into a decision where they either have an ambiance and stay away from being a doctor or you be a doctor and you stay away from having good ambiance. J train podcast@gmail.com J train podcastima.com in my mind, I just made the most sense anyone has ever made in the history of making sense. I'm just letting you know, Jared, I'm a loyal Patreon subscriber since COVID Thank you so much. I'm going to see what Foxwoods for my birthday. I'm excited. Come up after the show. Say hello. Say hello, please. My ticked off Tuesday is that when my husband and I went to see a comedy show in Tarrytown, New York last weekend. So Tarrytown, New York is where I taped the Family Plan, which will be coming out on Netflix in the fall. We don't have a date yet, but here's what I'm going to ask of you. I'm just going to put this in your brain now. When it comes out, just turn it on and let it run. You can watch it whenever, but the minute it comes out, turn on. Let it run. We had a lot of fun, but the theater was very small, like Delta economy small in terms of leg room. It is an older theater. Theater. The Terrytown Music Hall, I think that's what it's called, is a older theater in a part of town that looks kind of haunted. It looks very much like it's out of a, you know, a coming of age movie. You know what, what's the guy's name? Stephen King. It's a Stephen King novel turned into a movie town. So yes, you're going to get an old theater vibe. The guy in front of us was obnoxiously loud. The guy in front of us was obnoxiously loudly laughing, arching his back and clapping at everything. Oh, so did you say who you went to see? Everything CF said. I think you saw Craig Ferguson. I think I saw that you had written this earlier and maybe we cut that out. Arching is back clapping at everything Craig Ferguson said to the point where it became a distraction. I heard Craig Ferguson is awesome, by the way. He was also banging into my husband's knees every time he laughed. His date was quiet, but had her hair in a messy top bun, and I had to lean around at a crazy angle to see the stage. Who wears their hair in a top bun to a theater? I, I couldn't speak to that. But the going back so hard in your chair that you're hitting someone's knees, you can feel that the top bun, you could be unaware enough to not know that it's in someone's way. The banging on someone's knees with your chair. Like, you feel that and you, there's a point where you have to go, oh, I'm sorry. The laughing was so distracting. Eventually, halfway through the show, the guy in front of the laughing man turned and said, you have to stop. You're ruining the show for me. The guy was much better in quieter. Once that happened. My complaint is that I wish my husband and I had said something sooner, but you never know how someone will react to being told to shut up. Anyways, the second half was great. And I look forward to your show in July. Well, I look forward to having my show in July. Here's my response to this. It's hard because I am not in the business of telling people not to laugh at a comedy show. I, I, I, but there is such a thing as you're laughing to gain attention, and it's not even real. Like, I, I, I will say there was so I, I, I, and I, I'll have people come up to me, they'll be like, oh, I'm so sorry. I was obnoxiously laughing. No, no, you weren't. If, if a laugh is off, I will acknowledge that you are in the way of the show. It's the hard thing. It's really hard from my perspective. And I'm sure Craig Ferguson, who's on stage, probably was thrown off a little bit. It does. You know, everyone knows comedy's all about timing, all about timing. But there's so many people who, like, try to fuck up timing. This happens a lot with people who woo at shows. I think the, the more relatable one, because I've had the laugh thing. There was a guy that used to go to open mics this is 15 years ago, I would go to open mics, and there was a guy that used to come, and he would, like, scream, laugh. And I. And there was a point. And at first you'd be, like, happy because you're like, okay, good. I'm getting the reaction I want. And then you realize the laugh was a lie. It wasn't even, like, informing you of when the joke worked or not. And I used to say to him, I would say, hey, man, we're good. I'm good with you. I. I think you. You don't need to laugh at one thing I say. Like, I would say that to him. I'd be like, you're done. We don't. I don't need it. Gonna ask you not to laugh. And I would say it to him before my set. And then it helped. It actually helped. So I could actually be informed. The laughs are what informed me of what to keep doing, what to keep writing on. What's a. You know, if I'm saying it the right way, this happens with woo people more. The woo people think they are a positive interaction at a show, and they're not. And. And they. For me, a lot of times, because I have a crossover with a lot of, like, podcasts that have podcast shows. Podcast shows are a lot of wooing. And that's not why I got into doing comedy. I didn't want people to woo at me. Some people will be okay with woos because they can't get a laugh. So they're happy to get something. I can get a laugh. I'll be okay without the woos. If anything, the woos are in the way of the laughs I should be getting. So I'm with you. This is annoying. It's tough. It's even tougher for me because to tell someone, hey, don't laugh. But if you're ruining. If you're ruining the time of everyone around you, I want the whole group laughing. I don't want one guy who's laughing to let everyone know how much fun he's having and kind of being a nuisance, to ruin it for 10 other people that could be laughing at the same time. So it is annoying. The size of the theater. I think that's what you kind of sign up with an older theater that, you know, that sucks. It just sucks when you're stand up when you're a comic and you do a show and you hear feedback about the venue, like, that's negative. And you're like, I have less ability to. A lot of times with venues I'm asking to, I'm trusting my agent, my manager to say so and so played here before. They loved it. Like I, I do give feedback to my manager and agent of places I go and say, hey, I, I love this place. I'll never go back to this place. It's really tough. And when you hear negative feedback from the, from people who have gone, you go, I'm really sorry. Cause I, I'll have to do better the next time. I hope that you don't hold the venue against me. That, that's my first thought and I hope they we can figure it out. But it is all this is tough and I'm sorry you had a bad experience there. Well, Foxwoods, I'm sure that's going to be better because a lot of old people go to the casinos and they need a lot of room to get under those seats. Last one, Jared. Love your show and listen every day. Thank you. My ticked off Tuesday is that it's Somehow the year 2026 and every time the power flickers for half a second, my microwave and stove completely lose their minds and and start blinking. 1212, like they've been at factory. Like they've been factory Reset. I live in the Midwest, so this time of year we lose power every other. I didn't know you lose power a lot in the Midwest.

Like, I have this thing where the power does go out in my apartment. Then I come home from being on the road and then like I'm looking at the clock like I'll wake up in the middle of now I'm like, it's 3:00am and it's like, no, it's, it's, it's midnight. Your clock has just been not set from when it went out, when you didn't even know it went out. J train podcast@gmail.com J train podcast@gmail.com It's a ticked off Tuesday. Every Tuesday.
