We do a complaint duet of sorts. And now if you want to really be a part of this show, you need something red. Gotta join Patreon because the Patreon subscribers are using their membership. Part of your membership is that you get first dibs on the complaint. I have four complaints in front of me, all from Patreon subscribers. How do you sign up for Patreon?

In addition to the ability to complain and be featured on this show, you will get coffee with J Train, which is the podcast I do every Friday that gives you the fifth day of the week of the jcu, the J Train cinematic universe. And all you do is comment on Coffee with J Train with your complaint. And we get to it that next week or whenever we tape next. So I got some water with me. We're ready to read your complaints. I got a couple complaints. We'll do a ad because I got one sponsor the sponsors in the description of this episode, I. I can't stop eating the pretzel nuggets. Those Trader Joe's peanut butter pretzel nuggets that I can't stop. It's got the crunch, it's got the sweet, it's got the salty. It's. I don't know if there's a more perfect snack in the world. And they do fill me up. So I appreciate that. I do feel safe, satiated. But no dietician is saying you should get the pretzel nuggets from Trader Joe's as part of a well balanced breakfast. This isn't even my complaint. I'm drinking the water to get rid of the peanut butter that's behind my teeth. I, I'm really grossing you out. I do have a little cup that I've been putting my snacks in. This is all part of my new Delray beach lifestyle. I have this big kitchen, There's a Trader Joe's. I'm buying things. You know, I'm trying to live a life here. And I got this little tiny cup. It's a, it's a, it's a, it's an espresso mug that I bought when I was in London. One of my dumbest purchases. And it's like a clay mug, but it's a, it's for an espresso. And I'm like, that's my snack mug. I'm just having a little snack. Well, if you fill it up 17 times, it's not a snack cup anymore. It's a snack trough. Jared announcements YouTube. I want you to follow YouTube, please. I ask nicely on Mailbag Monday because that's a nicer podcast. This is Ticked Off Tuesday. I'm putting money in, in a YouTube. I'm, I'm, I'm. I've been trying to do YouTube for 15 years. Not one fucking viral video. Not one thing, not one thing has taken off on YouTube. Not one. That's me. Maybe your shit sucks, Jared. You know, that's the feedback. Well, maybe your, your content isn't good enough. What? No, screw off with that. I've seen some of the YouTube stuff. I don't know. I don't know. YouTube.com Jared Freedom. Uh, we're putting up stand up every Saturday, so that's fun. It's all the stuff in between my bits. You know, we try to cut out the bits. Cause that's what I'm working on when I'm on the road. But then it's the, it's the awkward stuff, which I think is fun to watch, but I guess I'm wrong, so. But go check it out. From Alabama two weeks ago this week. I'm not sure what we have going up, but every Saturday I'm putting it up it. And do me a favor, if you are watching, you're hearing this complaint and you're like, you're preaching to the choir. I know I am preaching to the choir. I. As an audience, you guys are great. Hit the like, comment, comment with like, what you thought was funny or which part interests you. Or maybe there was like maybe I said something. You're like, that could be a bit. I'll take your notes this weekend. I'm in Providence. I'm very excited to go to Providence. Speaking of food, I'm gonna go to Al Forno on Thursday. That'll be. I went last time I was there, I ate so much that I like, I like, had to be rolled out. So I'm gonna go there for a big old feed after I'm done with the Thursday show. Or. Oh, no, I don't get there till it's Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Are the shows. Jared? Friday, Saturday, Sunday. So I'll probably be there Sunday night if they're open. I hope they're open. We'll see. We will see. Winnipeg. I don't know if anyone knows what I do in Winnipeg, but if you know someone in that area, I'd love for them to come to the show. Kansas City. I made fun of Kansas City. It seemed as though I'm not, I'm not sure. I don't know if that helps or hears. I make fun of places I, I don't make, I make fun of every place, but I don't think I'm like the type that's, like, I don't hate any place. Missouri is the weirdest place to do standup in my experience. But Kansas City, get tickets to the Show Richmond, then DC, Milwaukee, and then we just released Fort Lauderdale and Tampa. So. Jared free.com/more and more shows. We're adding a Boston show, maybe shows I might take a chance because the audience is an early audience. We like an 8pm show. The audience. I am the audience. I would be like, okay, I guess dinner than the show. That's a long night. So we're, I'm trying to work it. I'd love to sell out three shows in Boston. I've sold out two at the Wilbur before the last two years. I want to grow. I want to see growth. So Boston, I'm gonna try maybe for a third. So that means there would be two 8 o' clock shows. We'll see. I, I just, this is all in negotiations. My complaint, small complaint than a story. That's. That's what I got for you. The, the first complaint's small, but I, I, because, you know, I just can't believe I'm the only one asking for this. Why are we packaging bacon the way we're packaging bacon? Is there some sort of law that was created by Big Bacon? Like, was there, like, I don't know what's, you know, we live In a time where you follow the money. So when something is weird, you go, who needs, who makes more money to make this thing weird? Because the idea that bacon doesn't have a zip top that you have to cut open bacon and just leave it open or rewrap it in cellophane or in tinfoil. I can't be like, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm saying this at the risk. And maybe that's why no one talks about it. Cuz we assume that it's like a hacky complaint. I'm not hearing it. I have my ear to the complaint ground. And the fact that we are doing bacon the way we're doing it, it makes no sense. And you go, what is, you know, that's one of those things that you go, who's making money? I guess it's the bacon corporation that doesn't want you to seal the package cuz they hope it goes bad so that you buy more bacon. But I just, I am less likely to and listen. And then turkey bacon went and did the same thing. Turkey bacon, I have heard is like, it's like nowhere near what bacon is. It's, it's basically like sliced meat. Like I think you can eat turkey bacon raw. I'm. No, no, no. I don't take me for that. Don't go eat the turkey bacon raw. I'm. The idea that someone heard me say that and then goes to the. Oh, I guess Jared said it. I'm an idiot. Okay. Turkey bacon followed suit with regular bacon. That's what I'm eating. I'm having turkey bacon in the morning and I put it on the pan. 3 slices, a cup of egg whites, I'm out. Sometimes I do toast Ezekiel bread. I'm trying to stay healthy before I hoard every peanut butter nugget known to man as I drink my water. How is there not one with a resealable bag? How, why are we doing it this way? I, I, I, I think this is like the start. Like this should be a 60 Minutes segment. And that's what makes me so angry. I can't believe that they're doing it. Oh, I, like, like if someone at Bacon Co. Or Bacon, you know, incorporated. If someone at Bacon Inc. Said what, what we, you mean, you know, we would, we should do a resealable bag. You'd go, I would take them by the, by the collar. I'd take them by the shirt. And I go, tell me what's going on. Why haven't you done it? Who's Making money. J train podcast@gmail.com. j train podcast, gmail.com. my second and final complaint. I like a gym class. I like Barry's Boot Camp. I like the Lab Method, which is the gym I've been going to in Del Rey. I've met a few of you there, which is very cool for me. I hope you don't make fun of me behind my back with how I look like a seal flopping on the ground. Jared's like a baby manatee. That guy. He's really out of shape. I'm trying. That guy Jared, you know, the comedian? Yeah. Go to the gym with him. Yeah. He looks like he eats a lot of pretzel nuggets. So I. My issue is with both of those gyms, which I'm telling you I like and you should be a part of, like, I think, like anyone. I love a class. I love that it's in and out. It is. You got it done. Check it off the list. No room to look at your phone. It is in the days of phone addiction. Workout class is wonderful and a nice, you know, getaway. In Barry's. I see people with their phones and I'm like, is it worth it? Really? And. And I'm saying that as a phone addict that I see them with their phones in between the Barry segments. And I'm like, when do you get a break? When do you, like, if I. If I'm doing this, you can do this. Maybe they're. And. And then I always think, like, maybe they're just like a high powered attorney or doctor or like, like, I'm a clown, I'm a loser. Like, I have nothing to do. I. I'm looking at my phone. Do, do do, do, do, do, do do. You know, like, my phone is stupid. Maybe they have important things. But then people say that back to me. They go, well, your phone is your work, so that's hard to get off of that. And I'm like, yeah, I could be better. To my point. This has nothing to do with my point. I love and I take them often, especially I've been taking them on the road if I can. If I'm in a town with a bar, it gets a look. I'm going to try. And I only bring this up because both gyms had the issue. So now I'm saying every gym has this issue I've had in the past. I've never brought it up. And it gets worse. As the water bottles become more plentiful. People are bringing their own water bottles. And that's fine. I get it. You want to be hydrated. And we need a bin at the gym for the water bottles. We need either tape on the ground that says this is a water bottle area, or we need a bin in the side of the room for everyone to put their water bottles. Because what we're doing right now with the water bottles is actually dangerous. No one would say, hey, yeah, my gym class, we put a bunch of logs out and let them roll around. And we hope people don't slip because I am now tripping over. And that's the thing when you're carrying heavy weights and then you have to dodge someone's, you know, huge. What do they call Nalgene? It is a dangerous situation. And I can't believe these gyms. And I get, they have insurance. But, like, if I'm the gym owner, if I'm the gym person, if I'm Barry, I want to protect myself. The lab has this issue less, and it's less dangerous because there's not this treadmill sprint going on. The only reason I bring this up, I was in Denver, Colorado last weekend and I took a Barry's class. The process at the Barry's class angered me already. I got, I, I, I signed up the night before for an 8:45am class. I get to Barry's at 8:30. I'm on the wait list. Hey, want to check if I can get off the wait list for 8:45? They go, no problem. I go, hey, can I get a treadmill first if it's available? They go, whoa, whoa, whoa. This isn't a treadmill class. This is just the lifting class, which I knew was a thing in Europe that I went to Barry's London, and they had that there, but I didn't realize that that existed at the Denver location. And I said, wait a minute, what? I signed up for Barry's boot camp. They said, yeah, you signed up for the lifting only class, which is not what I want to do. And as someone who's gone to Barry's many times, I've complained about them. Here, listen, I complain about people I love. I want them to be better. That should be in bright neon lights on their website that the I, if I didn't see it, then we have a problem because I'm on your website. I'm signing up for classes. If I am getting to the place and going, what? I can't be the only one. I'm not that smart, but I'm not that stupid. So I said to them, I go, well, when's the next class. They go, the next one is at 9:30. There's a wait list for that. The next one with available treadmills is like one. I was like, one is not gonna work. Let's do the wait list for the 9:30. I'll take my chances. They're like, oh, also, there's a treadmill open in the class that just started three minutes ago. No, no, I'm not starting the Barry's class three minutes late. No, no, no. That will stay with me for a month. For a month. I'll eat my pretzel nuggets and I'll go. That would have been the three minutes that, you know, you burned off in that Barry's class. No. So 9:30 rolls around. I get in the class, I get a treadmill. I'm next to this guy who I would say is going for it. This guy is in shape. He could. He and I could be put. We would date, maybe the same woman if I were her type. Maybe he's her type, but he's a more in shape version of me. But dark eyebrows, dark hair, you know, so you get it. But he's chugging. He's on the treadmill and his Nalgene, like halfway through the class, through the treadmill workout, fly comes off of the cup holder and flies to the back of the room. That's dangerous. That is dangerous. And I noticed it. He didn't stop his treadmill. Again, he's going for it. I'm sure he has goals. If my water bottle fell off the back of the treadmill, I'm getting off and I'm making sure that I apologize to whoever it almost hit. And again, this is a little bit on this guy, like, and. But if your Nalgene doesn't fit in the cup holder, then that's not where it should be. So it flies off the back. He doesn't go get his water bottle. He just leaves it for the people on the floor to like clean up after him. And we move on to the next segment. So then you go to the floor and you lift and then you get off. And then the next segment is a five minute segment on the treadmill. Again, we get back on the treadmill, no water bottle. Okay? He found a solution to his problem. We get done with the five minute segment, which is like a lot of sprints. And I slow my treadmill down, I bring it to a halt, and then I go to jump off of it. You know, you do that little jump, little hop. I do a little hop off and my foot almost lands on his water bottle. And you go. And all I could think about was like, my God, I legitimately dodged a bullet. Let's say I jump off, hit that top of the water bottle. I fall over, broken ankle, head smacked on the thing, knocked out, lose my career. Oh, what happened to Jared? Head injury at a Barry's class because someone's water bottle was just on the floor. So what are we doing here? What are we doing? And I want, and I wanted to look at him and go, hey man, this water bottle. Because nothing happened. So I can't be like, hey man, like, who am I here to teach? To me, it's the responsibility of the gym. Let's. And no one. And your feedback. Well, what if I need water during my set? No one does. I think we've gone too far. We went from. These coaches are, you know, are. We went from like no water ever to we gotta have water breaks every half hour to make sure that we are hydrated. This is for kids sports to. Now adults are gonna look at me and go, well, what do I do if I need a sip? You don't need a sip. You're an adult. You can drink as much water as you want before the class. You can drink as much water as you want after the class. I never bring water. I rarely bring water on stage. Oh, how do you not drink water? I don't need you because I'm an adult who works it out before I go. Jtrain podcast@gmail.com. j train podcast@gmail.com. i got four complaints from you, the listener.

With the customer. She is going to let you know if she likes something. And if she likes something, she loves something and she uses it over and over again. And she's done that with Nutrafol. I've seen a difference. She's felt a difference. Here's my second recommendation for it. People are getting transplants. People are going for surgeries. I would want to avoid that option.

Let's go to your complaints. It's been a while so since I've read a new one because our fabulous producer V was taken some much deserved vacation. And so we haven't really been like I got ahead and then now we're here. Like I'm, I'm taping the Tuesday before the the Tuesday before the Tuesday and I got a really nice note about ticked off Tuesday. It just makes me happy when someone likes the complaints and has fun with it. They said something along the someone's they remind. I guess I called the T shirt cannon guy. I said that they ultimate it made me happy that they like pulled out a line to tell me that that made them laugh. That makes me happy. All right. Ticked off Tuesday. I am ticked off at restaurants who send more plastic cutlery than is necessary for a delivery order. Now this is like this was, you know, it's funny. I see jokes in my every, every day. I see what people are talking about. This is the reason to be. This is the thing I, I fought with as far as moving to Delray beach because when you're in New York City and you're at the clubs, you see the comedy. You see what people are doing, the jokes people are doing. You can be aware of like what's being done again and again. You can see the material. Like if everyone's doing jokes about a I kind of go oh, I've heard it. The many plastic cutlery to the, to the, you know, apartment. When is something I've seen like I and so you hear this a lot. So this is something that like and we all kind of think that we're self conscious that the delivery guy the delivery guy is trying to get it to you as fast as possible. We without you complaining. So the, the idea that they're like look at you know, like when they're packing your meal, look at oh, let's look at this fat, you know, like I don't think they're doing that but okay, why I just ordered received, ate a salad and zoodles and meatballs. I am one person. Why am I receiving three sets of plastic silverware? If I order enough food for three people, I'd understand. But I literally ordered one appetizer, one entree and no, it, it was not enough to share with anyone. I'm sitting here asking myself, am I a pig? Did I over order? I'm also staring at the silverware, wondering whether to be wasteful and toss it or throw it in a drawer until enough sets accumulate that I get ticked off. I've been holding on to countless bundles of forks, knives, napkins for months. Oh, and a bonus, they sent their overly delicious complimentary garlic knots. When I wrote in the notes to please not send that is a real issue. I'd be ma that's that to me is the complaint. But I, I do agree with you. The I, I, I, I'll get, I'll get to complaining with you. Believe me. I, I, you're, you have been heard. I agree with what you're saying. I think the complaint needs to be directed elsewhere. But I, I wrote in the notes plea to please not send. Thanks for all the laughs A bets just trying to force fork get about the garlic knots she just ate. Great sign off. Listen, the extra cutlery for your food. The, the extra cutlery for your delivery is annoying. And you're not alone. As I said before, everyone's a little bit ashamed when they get sent that extra cutlery. Did you think this about my order to make it so oh, must be a table for 30. Here's the who we should complain about. It's the people who call the place and get angry at the place for giving them no cutlery. It's the places that forget the cutlery. This is, it's the complainers that we should be complaining about. Because sometimes, honestly, if you're living in a home where you have no forks and knives, then you have not finished your home. I get it for a hotel room. I've gotten delivery at a hotel, and they didn't give me any silverware. And you're like, you're delivering to a hotel. Come on. I don't have my drawer full of forks and knives here. But to a home, if they under deliver the person who's like, where's my second set of cutlery? That person should be ashamed. That is not worth calling the place. And that's the thing. These. This is a reactive measure. They're reacting to the worst of us, the people that go, I want 10% off. I want a rebate because you didn't give me any cutlery. And you go, you don't have a fork and knife at your house. And now they're going to give this person 17 bundles and they have to deal with it because someone else complained and got 10% off. Now, please don't send me the garlic knots. I am with you 100%. Honestly. Here's the. Here's the bigger complaint. If I order zoodles, as you did, you got salad, zoodles, and meatballs. The minute Zoodles gets, you know, hit on the website is the minute I'm telling you garlic knots are out. It should be an automatic. Zoodles means no garlic knots, and I have to opt in the garlic knots. I can understand someone getting zoodles and going, okay, no pasta. That means I get to have the garlic knots. But you should have to opt in. It should automatically opt you out of the garlic knots the minute you get the zoodles. No one's thinking j train podcastmail.com j train podcast@gmail.com. something for Tuesday. Why can't Hulu figure out how to let people binge something they've already watched? Sometimes I just want to settle in with a season of Modern Family. Hulu leaves each episode at the exact place you left it last time you watched. Even 10 seconds of credits. Nope. Yeah, that's horrific. If we get to the skip option, let's just assume we can move to the next one. I don't need to see who was the lead lighting guy on Modern Family Season 7, Episode 12. I don't need to know that. I don't need to know who did the craft services. I don't need to know who was Cam's hairdresser. No, it needs a little intuitiveness. And listen, for every one person. The problem is, again, like, I, you know, this is a complaint podcast, but we have to look ourselves in the mirror. With great power comes great responsibility. As Peter Parker's Uncle Mosby once said, Uncle. What was his name? Uncle. That's a name you got to know. You know Peter Parker. You don't know Uncle Jim. Uncle. I'm looking this up because it'll bother me that I'm gonna get like 30,000. Uncle Ben, like the rice. Yeah. Uncle Ben, rest in peace. Uncle Ben said to Peter Parker, with great power comes great responsibility. Also, his aunt said it to him in the most recent Spider Man. A little switcheroo. But what happens is when the, when the episode, we're never as thankful as we are angry. So if they did just skip to the next episode. Once it says skip to the next episode, you'd have someone who's like, I didn't get the credits. I want 10% off. It's same with the cutlery people. We have to realize that these, these complaints come with consequences. You complain about the cutlery. Now everyone's getting 30 bundles. You complain about, hey, I didn't get to see the credits. Now everyone's gotta sit through these credits when we've already watched the Modern Family gang have their trials and trips from episode seven. But I agree with you. My ticked off Tuesday. I was at the gym yesterday running on the treadmill. I was following an Apple fitness workout. That sounds pretty good. I should, I should get into that. I like a treadmill. Like, listen, I just said I like Barry's Boot Camp. I love a directed treadmill workout because I don't want to be thinking. So I had headphones in and was watching a video of the instructor on my phone. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a hand on the treadmill near my foot. I sort of jumped back in shock and pressed stop on the treadmill. It turned out to be a gym employee cleaning the treadmill I was on. No, no, no. We gotta stay five feet away. I'm with you. This is horrible. She continued cleaning the side in front of the treadmill. Listen, I'm not trying to like bash people who are, you know, the, the, the housekeepers of the, the gym. But you gotta know like, you know, when you golf and they're doing maintenance on the golf course, they stop while you play. That's part of the gig, I guess. I'm glad to know the gym is really on top of cleaning things. But can they not wait until the gym equipment is, isn't actively being used? I'm with you. There's gotta be a five foot rule. I almost fell off the treadmill. And a treadmill. Listen, to go back to my Complaint about the water bottle being under my foot. If you think of, like, the things that could cause you harm in your life there, there actually aren't that many. But the ones that are there, like, it is really annoying when they're not taken proper precaution with. I almost fell off the treadmill. Anyways, thank you for putting out J Train every day. I look forward to it every morning, especially pop culture Thursday and coffee with J Train. Thank you. I love doing all these shows. I really do. It makes me really. It is humbling. I hate when people say, but it is to me. Like I. I do think, like, who When I first started doing daily, I'm like, who would, you know every day? Does someone want to hear from you? Do they give a. So it's nice. It's nice to see that. And these all do generally the same. So that's really, like, really nice to hear. Means you guys are enjoying the product. That means a lot. But I, you know something? I don't enjoy someone. You know, I just don't want any tomfoolery when it comes to my treadmill workout. And I'm with you. Five foot rule. Let's keep away. Also, you're going to a place when you're on a treadmill and you said you're following an Apple fitness workout. You are zoned in so much that any little change does freak you out more than usual. Your eyesight is focused, so when you get something in the peripherals, it does shock you more when you're zoned in like that jtrain podcast. Gmail.com we got one more again.

Thank you. That is like unbelievable. Love the podcast and sing along to each day's unique jingle. Can't wait to see your Boston show this winter. I cannot wait to be in Boston. My ticked off Tuesday a grocery store. My ticked off Tuesday grocery store shopping. I am a big grocery store guy. We live next door to Wegmans. Ooh, fancy. And I know Wegman's not fancy. That is funny. Like when people. That annoys me. When people take your thing that you do and they're like, o. It's like the first. It's like whoever smelt a delta type of thing like the first and you know, because whoever makes it into a rich thing now, they're right. We. You can't Go. Well, no, not really. We live next door to a Wegmans yet still get delivery more than half the time. Because everything about in person shopping annoys me. Three types stand out. Instacart delivery racer. Gen Z. Headphones in. Head and phone. So hold on. You're annoy. Let me just read this correctly. We live next door to a Wegmans, yet yet still get delivery more than half the time because everything about in store shopping annoys me. Three types stand out. Oh, so you're saying these are the types that are at the Wegmans that you can't stand so you do delivery. So the delivery person, the instacart delivery person that you are known to hire also annoys you. Gen Z head and phone racing like it's supermarket sweep. Cutting in line with zero awareness. Yeah, I, this is kind of the reason I don't do delivery grocery. I did it when I lived with my ex and it just seemed like honestly the way they packed that grocery was like they took the like if you got like deli meat, they just take it and like whip it in the bag and it just looked like it was just all smushed. And I, I didn't like the experience. Which also someone has to deal with in person too. Impromptu rendezvous pair friends blocking aisles mid chat, oblivious to everyone else. Those grocery store run ins are tough because they are. You can't just go hey, good to see you. Cuz you're afraid that you'll run into them on the next aisle so you gotta get it all out. And now you're in the way of everyone. You're a human speed bump. The picky picker. Usually older, inspecting produce like it's fine art. Consuming my time entirely. I, I saw a guy that I have an issue with this person because I just want awareness of you and your cart. That's what I want. And that seems to be the thing that's in my way the most is someone who like, if you're gonna become like a tender, you know, you go on a cruise ship and then they have those little tenders that go off the ship and take you to the island. When you release from your grocery cart, you are now a tender. You're still part of the cart. You're still part of the cruise ship. If a tender left the cruise ship and got an accident, they'd say the cruise ship got in an accident. So I don't like when people to me, I think that grocery carts should have an arm bracelet that you attach to it like a boogie board. Because you shouldn't really be able to go more than three feet from your cart. If we had the boogie board tether, I think we'd all be a lot happier and people would not be able to like get, you know, would not be able to like. It would force awareness of your presence which is also the cart. I'm not saying ignore friends or rush seniors, but there's a way to shop while being considerate. Move conversations aside, be mindful if someone else wants the same item and position carts to keep aisles clear. I'm with you. I do think my boogie board tether to the cart would help a lot of things. And if someone doesn't strap in, kick them out. We got a strap in rule here at Trader Joe's. You want to come in our store, you got to strap your arm to your cart or your basket. Am I overreacting to expect to expected annoyances or is my frustration justified? Your frustrations are always justified here. Sincerely painless over proximity. You're. I do think it's hard you if you listen, you're in ticked off Tuesday. You're always going to be seen here. I think if you went to the gen pop with these complaints you might have an issue with. I get delivery grocery and I'm mad at the delivery guys. You are a part of that problem. I do think that if we had my boogie board idea. I think the boogie board idea, the having the strap that attaches to a cart that would make people more aware. That would make the and you have the instacart delivery guy do it too. More aware. Slow them down and understand that their space is being they're occupying space. And then the rendezvous. Hey, I gotta go. I want to get this boogie board leash off my arm. That would stop the rendezvous in my opinion. Jtrain podcast gmail.com ticked off Tuesday every Tuesday back next week. Boom.
