I know you're angry. It's Tuesday and it has no feel. The weekend was fun. You're still hungover from the eating and next weekend is too far away. What will you do with your day? It's time to get ticked off. Complain with your gripe. Right now, your friend Uncle J Train is here to tell you that you're right. It's a ticked off Tuesday. Ticked off Tuesday. You're angry and you don't even know why. Enjoy this podcast. It'll help you get to Friday. Hello and welcome to the J Train podcast. This is J Train Jared Freed coming alive from Delray Beach, Florida. That's right, every Tuesday is a ticked off Tuesday. Are you mad? Are you angry? Is there something that's on your mind? See?

Whatever you send in, I will find a way to make you feel justified. Now, you might have a complaint. We've had issues. Not issues. We've had complaints come in that sometimes I'm like, I can't go along with this, but I can find a little nook or cranny where I can kind of live there with you. Or, or I can push it towards another direction. That's my, that is what makes me a pro. That's what my job is. Your job. Write it in. And today we have four complaints from listeners. And we have four complaints. One from a Patreon subscriber, and then we've gone into the mailbag. So if you, if you want first dibs, sign up for Patreon. Patreon is my personal diary. Every Friday, I talk about the week that was. I tell stories. I. If you go sign up right now, you'll get last week's episode. I haven't taped it yet, but I, I'm sure I'll talk about going to St. Louis and I'll talk about going, you know, on the road. What else will I talk about? Being on the air. You know, I, I had an air travel story that I could tell. I'm. I'm going to tell a story today. My complaint. Today we, we'll start with my complaint. Patreon. The link is in the bio. This episode shows I'm in Norwalk, Connecticut this weekend. I'm always excited to do shows in Connecticut. Vegas, Jacksonville, Austin, Cleveland, the Hamptons, Miami, Foxwoods, Portland, Maine. I also have a book tour that's coming up. We're the book Tour by now should be out there, New York, Philadelphia, D.C. it's going to be like a dating podcast kind of event. It's going to be all dating talk quite questions. I'll be interviewed by a moderator. We'll do a dating app makeover. We'll play Red Flag Deal breaker. We're going to make it fun. It's going to be like a, you know, a communal dating talk. And I want you to bring your single friends. Bring anyone that might love the book walking Red Flag. Please pre order we want my My first complaint is about the pre orders and I don't. This is truly a luxury complaint again. I built the ticked off Tuesday lounge. I built the JCU with my two hands and it was to have a place where you could complain about things like the thing like this. This luxury. The luxury of my life is that Simon and Schuster came to me and said, hey Jared, write a book. That's crazy. That is absolutely nuts. What an amazing life. I have to be able to do that. I'm thankful. I'm looking up to the sky. I'm thanking all the gods and goddesses out there to let that happen to me. And, and now I'm trying to sell a book. I want you to buy it. And one of the gains that I've created is hey and you heard it last week with, with Taylor when we had chitchat Wednesday. We talked about but pre order the book and if you pre order, you can pre order Kindle, you can pre order the hard cover, you can pre order the Audible book, the audio version. All three get delivered to you on June 9th. You will have that book. I I don't know about the mailing process with June around June 9th. Okay. I'm already breaking promises. So as part of a way to motivate you to buy it because pre orders are helpful. They get me on the New York Times bestseller list. That is a distinction now that I crave and need again or I want. I don't need it. I want it. I want to be able to wear a jersey that on the back it says New York Times bestseller J Train on the front. New York Times bestseller on the back. That's what I want. Also my dad kind of had a reaction. He was like, well, why would you a New York Times bestseller. I'm like, aren't you on my side here? So the deal was you send me a receipt and I will write send me a receipt the name of the person you bought it for. Because you might buy it for someone that doesn't Listen to my stuff or know me and a fun fact about YouTube so that I can kind of riff on it. A few of the people that are said, this has happened a few times. They will send this long a screenshot. I listen, it's like the life and times. A screenshot of, like, where they met and how old they were and their parents and, oh, we lost our grandpa. And you got a reference. And it's like one fun fact. The name. Sometimes they don't even give me the name. And I'm just like, listen, this was meant to be a fast, quick, fun thing. Again, I know I'm complaining about the people who bought my book. I, I, I, again, this is the only place I can do it. And then what I've noticed is, so then I'll make fun of all the stuff they sent. I'm taking their ball again. Any good improviser, you give me the gift of what you said and I throw you back a new gift. I go, and the gift you gave me is that you were a pain in the ass, which I'm sure the person you're buying the book for knows you're a pain in the ass. So I'm going to joke about you being the pain in the ass and leave it to these people to write back to me. They'll write back to me. I'm sorry. I guess I didn't, you know, understand the assignment. I guess you, you know, they get upset. I can feel that they're upset. And now my day's ruined. Their day is ruined. We all have a bad day, and it's like, it's like a birthday party that got up that I ruined. So if you want a cameo, I will write again. I'm not. I would never make fun of someone to make them feel bad. That's not my game here. Someone wrote me this long thing about how their friend has a, has a, has some sort of kink for the Artemis aliens. And they're upset that the aliens didn't show up. And I'm like. And they want me to, like, talk about their alien kink with Artemis. The, the, the, the space shuttle. And I'm like, so then I made a whole video. I'm like, man, this is a great. Your friend bought you a book so you don't have to listen to their bits anymore. You have to. I'm sure they're always performing. Again, if someone's writing me to, like, do their Artemis bit with the aliens, they want me to, like, they want to be, like, the puppeteer my you know, it's like, no, I'm gonna. With you. You're to be with. And then they're like, well, I guess, you know, really disappointed that you didn't make fun. No, no, I don't want to do your stupid alien bit. I got more complaints. I got. I have. Okay, listen, we have two sponsors today. Support the sponsors and then I'll yell at you for not supporting them correctly. I. I know I, I sound like a dick. I listen, you don't. When I ask you to write in, I tell you, you don't have to apologize. So I'm not going to apologize either. Neutrophil. Get your hair and your confidence back with Nutriful.

That's Nutra. Promo code Feather. Here's my other complaint. When I go on the road, I will a lot of times bring an opener. I'll bring someone on the road or it will be someone local. If it's someone local, like when I was in Tempe, I had Jackie Tinsley. Jackie Tinsley. Let me just go on and on about how wonderful and funny this person is. Go follow Jackie Tinsley, she's so funny. She crushed all weekend, and I feel like I've been there for the whole process. She. She opened for me and was booked by the club in Arizona. And then h. Has opened for me now a couple more times, and I just watch her get better, and it makes me so happy. And she is like, a killer. So Jackie was local, so doesn't need a hotel. Other road locations, I've brought other people. Rachel Williams, Spencer Gordman, who I. I brought up a number of people over the years and times that you get them a room. Amy Miller, who came with me recently to Salt Lake. All wonderful people and hilarious. Everyone's funny. The hotel will be like, I've checked into the hotel, and more often than not, they'll be like, and I'll have two rooms under my name. Jared, we. Mr. Freed, we have your room ready for you. Thank you. And. And they'll say, this. This has happened many times. And the other room you've gotten, we've put it right next to yours. Who on God's green earth wants two rooms next to each other if you're not staying together? That's not what anyone wants. No one wants to be sharing a wall with the person that they're traveling with. Kind of. You want. If you. You either share a room or you are on two different floors. There is nobody on this earth who's like, we want to share a door so that we can have slumber parties. No, we don't want that. And they don't want it from me. They don't want to share a wall with me. They want to go downstairs and go to another room and talk shit about me. I'm not. And obviously I'm not talking shit about them, but I don't want to be in my room, like, farting like crazy. And they're like, wow, Jared, he really went to town on the snacks in the green room. It's so. Of course he's farting like crazy. I just don't want. I don't want to have to think, oh, Jared, look, the TV was so loud. Jared, was that him crying watching the Notebook? We want two different floors. If you're not in the same room or, hey, Mr. Freed, you have two rooms under your name. Would you guys like to be on the same floor? Different floor, different floors. Make it easy. Two more complaints out of me, then we'll get to listener complaints. Listen, I love. We have screenshots. We love screenshots. And if you're looking for a way to share this show. Listen, this show isn't in trouble. I love doing this show, but let me just say the nature of, you know, the way things grow these days. I need you, the listener. If there's a complaint here that you heard, that you've complained about with a friend or the group chat, send this episode. Send the link. That's a pretty easy. Hey, everyone. We were just talking about this the other day. This. This chubby comedian in Florida had the same complaint, except he did it funny. Or we were funny too. We're all funny. Okay. I didn't mean to insult you. Professionally. He did it professionally. All right. My other complaint is I am drinking a coffee. I am a huge fan. I think they're going to become a sponsor at some point. I. I'm such a big fan. Cometeer coffee. I'm. They've sponsored in the past. I. I now purchase it. I reached out to them because I like it so much. I'm like, hey, you're a small company. Maybe we could team up to do something. We might do something in the future. Chobani has a creamer Again. We're going to plug city. These are not even sponsors of this episode. Chobani has a creamer. That's wonderful. My girlfriend Emily, she loved it, so I bought it to have in the apartment for her. And then I have become a huge fan and I pour a little again. This is me being healthier mentally using creamer. Because there's a time in my life where creamer was the equivalent of doing a line of cocaine on a Tuesday morning. Like, that was the same thing. I've come to terms with creamer. The 20 calories I add to a coffee via the creamer are not my problem. Then I. And I have to repeat that I say it to myself as I'm pouring the creamer. This is not your problem, Jared. I sound like a crazy person. So I have the hazelnut. And this isn't just Chobani. This is also creamer. When you take it out, I think we're all prone to shake it up. Little shake. We want a little shake. We don't. We see that pond. We don't want it homogenizing. We don't want it gel being gelatinous. We. When you take something out of the fridge, you give it a little shake. I do this with my egg whites. I have a carton of egg whites. Shake it up. I take out the creamer. Shake it up. Orange juice with pulp. Shake it up. I don't want to drink a clump of Pulp. I'm not an orange juice drinker, but I'm just saying as an example, any carton that gets a shake up after the fridge should legally have to have some sort of top that we know is closed. There should be no question this should be a national priority that we have some sort of top that does one loud click to know it's locked up and good to go. We shouldn't have cartons that we shake where there's any question that little dribbles might come out. The egg whites are the ones that really drive me crazy. That is a top that never seems to be done correctly, never seems to close correctly. And it's not me. I'm closing stuff every day. How can it be me? It should be done like I have a pen for the GLP1s. They you put it on your body and then you wait for the click. The click lets you know you're halfway there. Why not have a click for the top of these cartons that we have to shake up after the fridge? Last complaint it's more of a story. I'm in St. Louis last weekend the St. Louis shows were wonderful. They were light. They were light. Your dear old Uncle J Train performed. Listen, we whether it's Madison Square Garden or the Helium Comedy Club underneath the Dillards at the galleria mall in St. Louis, we go hard. I brought it. I brought the A game. I did a show I'm proud of. And you know what? The people of St. Louis brought it as well. The crowds were energetic folks, fun and wonderful. Truly a compliment from my end.

So go Wayfair.com April 25th through 27th I got four complaints, but my complaint as I interrupted myself to plug, go to Plugstein Village. Okay, so I'm in St. Louis. I am going When I order an Uber, when I order a Lyft or an Uber, any ride share, I'm all about efficiency. And I think if I'm like that, you're probably like that. When you order an Uber, you are heading, you know, heading your, you're, you're setting your heading. You're, you're setting your. When you order an Uber, you're setting your cruise ship direction at a time that they say they will arrive. If they're coming at 5:42 and you're in the room at 5:39. Okay, we gotta be downstairs. I When I order an Uber, I want to literally not break stride as I head into the car. I that is what we all love Uber for. That is the gift of 2026 that we have the technology to make sure that we waste no time. Order the Uber, get stuff done in the room, go downstairs, keep it walking, never breaks dry. That's the goal. I order the Uber, I get downstairs, the car is pulling up as I'm walking out the door. I'm getting the Uber dream. I open the door, there's a person in the car. And I literally go. That's the exact yell I did when I saw the person in the car. I had no idea because the car was still basically coming to a stop when I grabbed the handle. Oh, I shut the door on the person, I walked away, went on my phone as if nothing had happened. I, I tried to play it off as if that was just a dream everyone just had. I'm looking at my phone, the person, and they're with another person. Get out of the Uber. They look at me, I look down, they shut the door. And then I go, oh, I guess the Uber's here. And I go to the door, I open it up. Hey, Jared. The Uber driver looks at me, they're like, oh, man. I. It should tell you whether there's someone in the car. I, I know we gave you a little fright there. Oh. Oh, you noticed. Oh, sorry. Yeah, you're right. They should have that. Why doesn't Uber have that? If you have someone in the car, if you're dropping off at the pickup place, let's just, hey, how about. And maybe it already says it, but it doesn't say it big enough for me. How about at the top, you are getting in a loaded vehicle. We are all trying to time these things again. The driver, the passenger. We all want to be efficient because that's the goal of Uber. They want to pick up as many people as possible so they can make as much money as possible. I want to get to where I'm going as quick as possible because I don't want to wait there for an Uber. Just tell us on the app, hey, there's a passenger getting out. Go act like it's not your car for five seconds, look at your phone, and then look up and go, oh, okay, there it is. None of us want to talk to each other. We don't want to interact. That is the dream of social media and Uber and apps of 2026. To not have to make eye contact with anyone and have uncomfortable moments. Now they're presenting these uncomfortable moments the minute you walk in the door. J train podcast@gmail.com. if you want to be a part of Ticked Off Tuesday, title your email Ticked Off Tuesday or sign up for the Patreon. That's a great way to make sure that the show keeps rolling. My Ticked Off Tuesday is the endless app updates required in the most useless apps. I have never once been able to get into Instagram until I update it. But of course, anytime I try to quickly order Sweet Green on the go, it's time to update. I totally agree with you. You make a great point because I sign into Uber or I sign. You make a great point because I sign into Instagram every 30 seconds. I've never had them be like, hey, gonna need an update. And maybe it's because you're opening it every 30 seconds, but you're right. It's weird that these other apps every week a we did some new things here, and then they never really have that screen where it's like, here's what's new on the app. That's the scary part. Every time I open it, what could be updating? They write, love you and all your content. Thank you for being the best. Well, thank you for writing in. This is truly a good complaint because it does have this thing. I think we all kind of hold hands with tech, knowing we're holding hands with someone who's actively screwing us over. And anytime there's this update and there's no like, hey, here's what you get. Now I have to assume it's so that tech could have more information about me that will find a way to get me to spend more of my money and AKA screwing me over. So when you do an update and there's no update that we know about, it kind of feels like we are small specs on Earth with no control over what Father Algorithm has in store for us next. It's not comfortable. It's actually uncomfy. We want to know. I that's my goal. That's what I want. You want to do updates? Do them every day. I want a list. I want to know exactly. And don't say like minor fix ups. Give me the fix ups and let me know what they are. Sometimes it will say like, oh, minor tweaks. What are the tweaks? What are we tweaking? Oh, minor tweak to you. Might be we're just getting to know how you spend your money so that we can charge you up the ass every time you spend money in the future. That doesn't sound like a minor tweak. Jtrain podcast gmail.com J train podcast@gmail.com Dear Jared, I'll get into it. I moved from Louisiana to Aventura near Miami last summer to be close to my boyfriend's family. Now, if you're not familiar with the Florida Miami area, Louisiana to Aventura is the equivalent to me of moving from Earth to Mars. That is two different planets. I don't know where in Louisiana. Maybe they're coming from an area of Louisiana that's similar to Aventura. That would be a surprise to hear from my end. Aventura I call high rise Boca, Boca Raton, Florida known for retiring Jews. Aventura has more of a Miami cityish feel and it also has retiring Jews, but it also has like Orthodox and concern like modern Orthodox and above level Jewish people, which is like religious types. And the reason they're in a high rise ish place is because they probably need that type of setup to be able to practice, you know, their Judaism, their version of Judaism. And that's why a lot of Jews live in New York City. It's kind of built for taking Saturday, you know, taking Saturday as the Sabbath and not being able to use certain things. You want things close to you. So Aventura is kind of built as this, like this like, area that's kind of like made in, in a way for religious Jews to be religious. So it's. And, and also other people. There's other people there, but Aventur is like this. It's like Miami. But not. My complaint is that almost every day. So then they write. And my complaint is that most everyday interactions here feel aggressive. Yeah, it's because you've moved from Louisiana to New York City. You, you didn't move from Louisiana to Aventura, you know, the South. You didn't move from the south to the South. That's, that's the problem. Because here's what I'll say. I had a woman, a woman and her sister came up to me last night. I'm having ice cream. They go, they go, you on TikTok? I'm like, I, Yes, I'm on TikTok. No. Do you have a following? I say, yeah, I have people who follow me on TikTok. I follow you. That's how they approach me. And then we got into this really nice conversation. But that's like the GR and they're from Staten Island. And I've. And I'm like, yeah, I got it. I go, go, follow me now. Like you come up on our view. On our view page. I go, well, how about you follow me again. We were having this conversation that to anyone else would sound like two people yelling at each other after they've gotten a car crash. And to this, to me, it was loving and wonderful. I've lived in the trop. I've lived in tri. Okay, back to their complaint. I've lived in tropical places like Hawaii, Okinawa and the Caribbean where people were relaxed and kind. But Miami has all the perks of island life with none of the chill. Yeah, no, it's not. This is not Okinawa, baby. This is not Hawaii. Hawaii. As I've learned, the driving is chaotic. No one signals. People make wild moves. And I've been flipped off multiple times, including once when I was safely pulled over with my flashers on. Recently, an older man blocked my car and yelled at me to reverse even though he had room to pass. I stayed put and he only moved once. Traffic back. I stayed put and he only moved once. Traffic packed up behind me. The grocery store isn't better. People rush around like a supermarket sweep cutting in front of you or even getting physical. I had someone try to push me past. I had someone try to push past me for bell peppers and had to tell her to not touch me. I understand. It's a fast paced lifestyle. But this level of stress and impatience feels extreme and doesn't match the beachy environment. I'll be enjoying a sunny drive and suddenly end up in a tense standoff with a stranger. Thanks for letting me vet. You are absolutely correct. And this is all about expectation and reality. If you move from Louisiana to Aventura, Florida, at its surface, by its labeling, you'd be like, oh, I'm moving from southern area to another southern area without knowing that Aventura, as I explained it earlier, is Manhattan in the South. It is not Florida. It is not by any means. And someone who's lived there their whole life might be taking, you know, pause at this. They may be going, well, no, it's Florida. I'm from Florida. I'm not from the attitude. It would. Again, you're used to it if you've lived there your whole life. And maybe it's not exactly Manhattan, but when you move to New York, you kind of have this, okay, got to put on my gloves and get ready to go. Go to battle. Every day. When you move to a place in the Northeast, you kind of get prepped for that. This person's moving from Louisiana to Aventura. They're like, oh, I'm just moving to Florida. I can't wait. I'm gonna be by the beach. Everyone will be so chill. And then you get there and you go to put your stuff on a beach chair, and this woman's like, my Dasani water was on that beach chair. Get the fuck off of my beach chair. And you're like, what the hell? Okay, I'm sorry. I didn't even see it. I thought it was trash. Because you're not in Florida. You're in Manhattan, bitch. That's right. So I. Listen, I get it. This is expectation versus reality. You are right. This is not what you thought you were signing up for, but I will push back at you. Your boyfriend didn't really prepare you, because your boyfriend should have been like, it's not Florida. Get one thing straight. Jtradepodcastmail.com jtrain podcastmail.com train I have an ex. This has a screenshot, but it's a chat with American Express. I have an American Express card, and my wife is an authorized user and has a separate card, but it's the same account. My wife does her taxes on TurboTax, so I added the Amex offer of a $20 statement credit when you spend $40 on TurboTax. Okay, the. The Amex deals, I feel stupid whenever I hear about them because you have to opt into them. I think they should just happen but I get it. A few weeks went by without the $20 statement credit getting applied. So I chatted with someone on the app and I attached a screenshot. Apparently since I added the offer on my app and she used her own card to pay, the transaction is not eligible for the 20 credit. No. Fuck this. Fuck this. This was fucking insanity. Since it's the same account being charged, Market Express hardly lets me down. American Express hardly lets me down. However, this time they did. I was so annoyed I told them how annoyed I was and they finally gave me a 20 good faith statement credit. No, this is this happens with Delta. This happens with American Express. These are companies that have really good Q ratings. If you listen to Pop Culture Thursday, we talk about Q ratings all the time. Q ratings are what's the first thing that goes through your mind when you hear of this person person. When you hear of American Express you think solid company that does right by its clients but it is a little bit more expensive. But you're going to get a lot from the customer service and the benefits. When you think of Delta you're going to think a little bit higher ticket price but they are a solid true blue company that's going to do right by its customers and you're going to get a lot with your ticket purchase and the experience. So when they do this stuff and they make it hard for you to use the value that they are getting credit for, it is annoying. This bothers me. I I can see that you're referring to the blow I'm going to their text. This is the message they did with the with the AI Turbo Tax Online Expert Assistant and full service spend $40 or more. And then they I would like to inform you that the offer was available on primary card and you gave made the charge on an additional card. Therefore the transaction is not eligible for the credit. That's don't turn your benefits your supposed and again we all think of American Express as this wonderful company. So they're getting to dine out on this reputation and then they have stuff like this where it's like don't make it a Easter egg hunt for all of your deals. You say you give these deals, you have all these benefits, make them easy to apply and don't do the little, you know, the sneak around the rope a dope. We have a joint card we have the benefits of we should get them jointly. J train podcast gmail.com j train podcast@gmail.com I got one more ticked off Tuesday. I don't think I've heard yet. Coffee shops should prioritize the orders that have been placed in person rather than the mobile orders. I, this person, they just sent in a complaint that I love. I, I, I actually, I think you're, you could not be more right. I just waited over 10 minutes to get my drink that I ordered in person at the counter. And the barista spent all that time making mobile order drinks for people who weren't even there to pick them up yet. They should have one barista focus on the mobile orders and one focus on the in person orders with the flexibility to adapt depending on the respective volumes. Thank you for all. You do love the vlogs on YouTube. Well, thank you. I, let me, let me take this opportunity. I agree with this person. Nothing feels weirder than when you get to a coffee place and it's literally bustling. All the baristas are moving around like it's the biggest day of their life. Like they're catering the biggest wedding that's ever happened at the Plaza. And you're like, there's nobody here and it's all mobile orders. And I actually think, I don't know if I've said this here before, but I must have. Mobile ordering is the end of society. Mobile ordering is what will ruin us all, is the reason we will be looking at each other, hating each other. This is, this is the reality that was built. This is where we're heading, mobile ordering, where none of us make eye contact. No please and thank you. No meeting your fellow man or woman. No having a moment of humanity where you realize we're all a lot alike and just trying to get through the day. What mobile ordering does is it keeps us in our little silo. It keeps us away from people, it keeps us in our own fears, thinking that everyone is against us and everyone's angry. Whenever someone says people are mad, people are angry. They're just talking about nobody. No one has a name in mind. No one has a person that is angry. They're just saying people are angry, which makes it all feel worse than it is. I just read this article in the New York Times. It was kind of a fluff piece on Jeff Bezos wife. Her name escapes me. Jeff Bezos, his wife is talking about the haters. Jeff Bezos, Jeff Bezos, his wife is quite literally the third richest person or has access to the money of the third richest person on the planet. And she's talking about haters. And you go, what are we talking about here? Who is she talking about? She's only zoned in on the loudest, most. And again, I'm not like a fan of Jeff Bezos's wife. I'm not, not a fan. I don't care. I read the article with a casual interest in what her life is like and how it is to be a billionaire's wife. And then now and. And again they got married later in life. What's her goals? What does she do? These are all interests I have. But the idea that there's like, she's like, people hate me. She says people. And I do blame mobile ordering for this perspective. Jeff Bezos wife would go to Starbucks and realize the person working there would say, Here you go, Mrs. Bezos, you're welcome. And she'd say, thank you. How was your day? And they go, it's kind of been a tough day. I'm a little tired. And then she would go, yeah, I'm a little tired too. I went to bed late last night after I was cleaning off all my gold bars. And then they'd have a moment where she would see there's a person working at Starbucks who's around her age that deals with a different reality than she does. And she would be more empathetic and have a different worldview. And I think the more we move towards mobile ordering and eradicating pleases and thank yous and excuse mes, and I think I'm next. Did you order yet all these little things? The more we enter into the fall of society, enter into this era of hatred and distrust. So, yeah, I think your order that you did live should be taken before the mobile order. J train podcast@gmail.com. j Train Podcast. Com. It's a ticked off Tuesday, back next week, boom.
