We're trying to name this tour. I don't, you know, last one was the family business. I don't know what to call this because they're all kind of. It's a little bit on the sad side. I'm. It's a good show, but it's just, it's about traveling alone. So I Alone and horny. I don't know. Maybe that's the name of it. Alone and Horny. I don't know. That gives the wrong impression. I want your parents to come. I. I do think I, you know, I'm appropriate. I. I alone and hor. Just sounds like, what are you bringing me to? You might not want to bring your mom to it, but it's. It's about being single and traveling alone. And it's a little bit of a retread on the 37 and single topics. But done I think better more heartfelt. That's. That's a really good sell you're doing. Jared. Come. It'll be fun. I'm a professional comedian that does a good job. We have sponsors this week before we get to the sponsor. It's one sponsor. Ara Frames that'll be in the description of the episode. Let me do my complaints first because I got a few. I just got off a flight from West Palm Beach. I which means flying just invites variables. Variables invite complaints. It is everyone doing something like Flying. The reason there's so much airplane humor is we can all connect with it. We all get annoyed by it. And it's all something that we think we do well. Like, even driving, even when people. People. There are people that say, I'm. I'm not a great driver. I'm not a. I'm not a. I'm not an aggressive driver. I'm not. I'm not a confident Dr. There is not one person you hear say, oh, I'm just bad at the whole traveling thing. Oh, I don't know how to do tsa. I don't know how to get off the plane. So we're all too confident. While not everyone can't be good at this. That's my first complaint. I'm getting off the plane. We land in LaGuardia. I'm in row 12. So I'm 12F. I'm in the window. Didn't get the upgrade. Just missed it. Two people got it ahead of me. I was third on the list. Bummer. That's the. That's the poker game we play when we fly. Okay, so I'm in 12F on the window. I'm normally an aisle guy. That's fine. Window, fine. That's it. There's two rows of Comfy plus in front of me. Now I'm getting off the plane, and in my mind, as. As a one. As a experienced flyer, it's rule one. Experience flyer. The row in front of you gets out before the row behind you, row 11. For me to go row 12, I would need all of row 11 to be clear. Now, listen, this can change. If row 11. If someone in row 11 is like, my bags are in the back, you go ahead. That is up to them to say, jer Bear, you go. I gotta wait. That's. To me. That's the civilized thing to do. The uncivilized thing is you're in row 11, and you have stuff in the back of the plane. You rush back and charge over, you know, human bodies to go make sure you get your stuff out. No, you. You lost the game of poker. You again. To go back to the game of poker thing when I fly and don't get the. Upgrade them. The brakes, kid. When you get on the plane and the only room above the seat is three rows back, then the brakes, kid. It happens. It happens. It's gonna happen to you. It's gonna happen to me. Sometimes I luck out. I got the stuff right above my head. Sometimes you don't. Honestly, the only time you really should care about it is. If you have a connection to make and you're already late, then I get it. You got to go tell people, hey, let me get ahead of you. I got a connection to make. You have a good reason. If it's, I need to get home, so do the rest of us. So in my mind, it goes, rowan, clear the road. So it goes, Row 10, gotta go. Row 11, gotta go. Once those are cleared now, we start doing row 12. Now that's when it gets a little messy. Who goes first? Is it the left side? Is it the right side? To me, that's when it comes down to being a gentleman. Hey, after you. I would rather send the whole crew. I send. That's my policy. Now, if your policy is I go ahead of everyone else in row 12, that's fine. I would. You know, I wouldn't. I wouldn't want to, like, dine with you. I wouldn't want to, like, negotiate with you. You don't seem like a, you know, a classy person, but I would understand it. But you don't get to go ahead of row 11 in. In a polite society. In a. In a. In a. Like, a normal society. So I'm now. But also, the decision's been made for me because I'm window. So I can't really go on this whole gentlemanly rant because I'm 12F. So, you know, I could say, well, I let everyone out in front of me. Well, that was by design. You didn't do much. You know, it's like saying you're. It's. That's a real pat on the back. I'm not going to pat myself on the back. Not here, not. Not on ticked off Tuesday, not on the J Train podcast. So then. So the person in front of me. So to me, it should go left side, right side, Left side, right side or left side? Full family. Let the family go together. Women and children. Let's. Let's Titanic this shit. So the left side gets out, and then the person in front of me goes. And now I am at the end of my row, and I'm about to go. And the woman behind me, she says, hello, young man. She was an old woman. Let me. This is exactly how she sounds. She goes, hello, young man. Can you help me with my bag? Now I can pat myself on the back, yes, miss, you are closer to death than I am. I will help you. I'll help the weakest one on this plane. No problem. Because I'm a gentleman. I'm a nice person. So she's Pointing. And I'm looking. She's going, I'm the blue bag above my head right here. And I go, I got your girl. No problem. All set. So I looked. So her and I are having this discussion of where her bag is, and I go to get my. I go, now, row 12 is totally clear, except for me. All of a sudden, guy from row 13 across the aisle, bar, barges out, grabs his bag above, and I. And I kind of do the full arms out. Whoa, whoa, whoa, easy. I. You know, as if he's a wild horse. Oh, I do a ho. And he goes ahead to me. Rude. He's rude. I don't get it. I don't get even. The argument from his standpoint. Even now, before I get to the real complaint. We're not even there yet, but even then, to me, that's embarrassing. Can it happen to me? Yes, I do understand. Here's something I will understand as a flyer. No matter how many times I fly, if I see the plane boarding in the distance, my heart starts to race. I go, oh, my God. I don't want to miss out. I have a scarcity mentality. I think that's a. That's an American thing. I think it's a New York thing. Gotta get mine. Can't miss out on bag above my head. Even though I'm sitting here telling you it can happen. You can miss out on bag above your head. But when I see that plane boarding in the distance, I'm going, I gotta. I, I, I, I get a little. Little, Little giddy up. I'm moving. Heart racing. I'll admit to that. That's human. So let me just let this guy in 13, you know, see off the hook and say, I get it, man. We can lose ourselves here. You might grab your bag and barge in front of me and you go home, and in your mind you're going, what an embarrassment. I am. I could understand that. I actually, listen, I've been there. We all make mistakes. I would go, I would say, jared, what do you. What's wrong with you? What do you want to rush for? That's what I. That's the conversation I would have in my head. And I think, maybe that's the reason I'm not a piece of shit. Okay? So Bull McBull, you know, you know, Bull McGee barges out. He runs out. Now I have some space to help the elderly. I go up, I grab her bag. I say, is this your bag? She goes, yes, thank you very much. You, you deserve a nice, beautiful woman to make you happy. The rest of your life. And I say, thank you, Ellen. I appreciate that. Thank you. She says, I, if I were a witch, I'd curse you with good tidings. She said all that? I'm not even not lying a little bit. Can you imagine if she listened to this podcast and she heard how I'm describing her? She was like, my parents age. She's not that old. I'm making her sound a thousand years. I'm just imagining her being like, what the fuck? I'll never forget it. I was. This is a tangent. I was at a bar. It was, I was in Avalon, New Jersey. That's the Jersey shore. It's the southern Jersey shore. It's like the Philly area of the Jersey shore. Not the Jim Tan laundry, you know, Jersey shore that you saw on mtv. This is a different section. Not saying it's better or, you know, richer. I'm just saying it's a different vibe. And I'll never forget, I'm with my buddy, we're at the bar, we're day drinking. It's like after the beach, having a beer dance party in this bar. Like, you know, the dream summer scenario. And I'll never forget it. This guy next to us, like there was something. There was an older man to the left of us. And my friend who will go nameless here, he. He looked at the guy and he said something. He was asking him for something, I think maybe like a napkin. I think he was asking for a napkin. And he. We spilled. And he goes, hey, old timer. I've. He called him old timer. And I've never heard. So as if we were in the wild west and it did, you know, this bar, you know, there's no chairs. We're just standing by a bar, Couple of cowboys, you know, young bucks. And he goes, hey, old timer, can you pass me a napkin? And I'll never forget it. This old guy who admittedly, I don't think you know again, it's like, when do you become ma'am? When do you become sir? There's no real number to these things. It. That's why it's more insulting that you're a ma'am. That's why I, I, I agree with the sensitivity to ma'am, because someone has to make that decision for themselves based on your look. So I can understand how a woman be like, I can't believe they called me ma'am. I'm 34 years old, you piece of. This guy was not 34. He was in his 50s or 60s. He goes, hey, Old Timer, can you pass me a napkin? And the guy, like, looked around and he goes, who the fuck is he calling old timer? And it was just. I've never laughed so hard. And then we just laughed in his face. And I feel badly laughing in the guy's face. But, like, his reaction was like, oh, he caught a stray. Just caught. You know, he wasn't involved in this. How did that. All of a sudden, he's at the bar midday, having a cold beer on a summer day, and all of a sudden he just gets a random cold with a hey, old timer. Who the fuck. I'll never forget it. Who the fuck is he calling old timer? And we just laughed. Exploded into laughter. Okay, I just interrupted my own complaint because I'm not done yet. This saga isn't over. I grabbed that woman. I grabbed that old, old woman's. I get that old woman's bag, put it down for her. She blesses me and hopes I find a nice girlfriend. And then I get my stuff and I'm on my way. I'm walking out of the plane. This guy, Bull in a china shop is waiting in the jet bridge for his group. He's standing there looking back, waiting for whoever he's with. If that's the case, at that point, you. You didn't need to. You're just sitting there. To me, I'd be embarrassed of barging my way through to the point where I would have to go all the way out into the bathroom and hide this guy. He's waiting in the jet bridge. It's an admission that he didn't need to go so fast. He didn't need to barge through everyone. And he never. And I make. I just direct eye contact. I zone in on his eyes. And he. He didn't even. You would think if that were me, I'm so sorry. Sorry for rushing ahead on. I got ahead of myself. He doesn't say anything. Nothing. Not even apology. Not even admission. Like. And I want it. You want to say something like, you know, I'm walking because I'm trying to get where I'm trying to go again, I'm not. No, I'm not in a rush, but I'm rushing that everyone on a plane, if you're going home after the flight, you're not in a rush, but you're rushing. I get it. That's why these mistakes happen. Admit it. Just say my bad. J train podcast@gmail.com jtrain podcastmail.com I have a couple more complaints, but nothing really of, you know, nothing. Substantial, you know, one, we're not cutting sandwiches. All the way through. To me, you've done, you haven't finished the job. Finish the job, cut the whole sandwich, get through to the end. And it's happening a lot with bagel sandwiches. I'm a big bagel sandwich guy. I try to keep them as healthy as possible. I try to go egg white with turkey bacon on a bagel with no cheese. That's like a move of mine. That is like a in between of like being healthy and getting what I want. It's a fine negotiation that I actually, I hope it's, you know, then you find out like a nutritionist, like Alex Turoff, who I, who I love. She'll be like, oh, the bagel, I don't know, it's like 7,000 calorie. Like just, just lie to me. Just let me have the bagel. Okay. So the, we're just not cutting them enough. So then I end up with like one bagel on my left hand and all the bacon on my right hand just cut through the sandwich. My last one. I am a, I am a Lyft user now. You'd go Jared Lyft over Uber. I call it Ubering. But I take Lyft for one reason. My Lyft, it was connected to my Delta account. For every Lyft dollar I get a mile of Delta, I get a Delta mile. That's a pretty good trade. If I'm leaving the airport, I get double miles. So if I take a fifty dollar lift from LaGuardia is going to be eighty bucks. If I take an eighty lift from LaGuardia back to my apartment, I'm getting one hundred and sixty delta miles. That adds up, especially as someone who travels a lot and I take lifts around New York City. If I'm taking a short cab ride, it's a lift. Delta and Lyft, their partnership has ended. Delta has now signed on with Uber. So I knew this, I knew that I now have become an Uber guy. I'm going to make the switch from Lyft to Uber. I generally think Ubers are cheaper, but that's just my general thought. So this is not a. I'm not upset about this, it's fine one, you know, it's, it's really not a big deal to me. It's not like Coke and Pepsi where you like one and not, you know, they're the same thing to me. Most cars are both Lyft and Uber drive cars. Here's my issue. My Bonvoy was attached to my Uber. So if I ever needed an Uber and if there were no lifts and I went to Uber, at least I was getting Bonvoy points. I don't know the trade off of how many points for dollars. I don't know that for Bonvoy as well as I know Delta. When I went to attach my Uber to my Delta account. What do you know? They only let you have one account attached to your Uber. So now I gotta make this like Sophie's choice of what do I attach to my Uber, my Delta or my Bonvoy. Obviously it's going to be Delta. I think the deal is better. I don't, you know, hotel points. Just don't feel. I don't know if this is true. This is a feelings things, not a true thing. But I think I'm right. I get, you know, until I. Until someone shows me the facts where I'm wrong, it feels like Delta miles go farther than hotel points go. For me, I've used hotel points. I just use Delta points more. So fine. I just don't like that I have to give up now. It used to be if I'm taking Uber, at least I'm getting the, the, the Bonvoy points. Now I can't switch Bonvoy to Lyft. They don't have an agreement. So now I'm losing out on Bonvoy points where I would have been getting them just on the off chance that I couldn't take a lift. It's annoying and I just don't know, like what the deal is. I don't know. When you sign up for this, are they splitting dollars? Is it just that they have this deal and if that's the case and no one's losing money, why do I have to choose one? Jtrain podcastmail.com we got keep sending your ticked off Tuesdays. I am ticked off. It's been a tough, you know, I'm not drinking, so I'm doing a lot of thinking. That's what they should say.

Ticked off Tuesday, the new open door full body scanners at LaGuardia make you stand with your legs a little too far apart. What's that all about? Okay, Yeah, I. I don't know about the leg thing. I. Here's what I'll say about these. I don't like that they make you put your hands above your head and you look like you're, you know, you've been pulled over by the cops and they just found alcohol in your system, and they're going to, like, cuff you up. It's just a little too. Just all the imagery of it. It just. It's. It's a weird look to, like, put your feet. And I know what you're talking about. They have the foot markings on the ground, and they're like, spread them. Like, I, I don't know. I just never want to be in that position. I don't want to be, you know, have someone in a uniform tell me to spread them. And that's really what that this does. I, I will say my issue with the open door and going from the, you know, where you walk through the, you know, the, The. The metal detector to these new ones where they scan your body and your hands are above your head, and it's very much. You're, you know, you're, like, getting shook down in a drug bust. Here's my issue. I get pulled out. If you're going to make the change, this new tech, it better work. I don't like that. I have been pulled over from that machine and had to, like, get a crotch tap more times than I would even imagine. You switch to this new thing, they. They go, you got. You got metal in your. In your crotch. It's like, no, no, no. There's no metal in my crotch. I don't know what you're talking about. I've had this happen, like, five times. I do fly more than the average bear. But, like, if you're going to make a switch to this new technology, it better be so good. I don't want it, like, marginally better. I want it, like, so good that, you know, at this point, we should be able to walk through a tunnel. You. You don't think the technology exists for us to walk through a tunnel that just scans your body and your bags and everything and without having to, like, take anything off? You don't think that exists? It does. That's the thing we should say. We're. Hey, we're fine. We don't want the Midway technology. I want us to get to the end of technology. I want us to get to the point where it's. We're just walking through. No stops, all gas, no brakes. Because these body scanners that this person's talking about. It's like this weird in between. It's like it's not a hundred percent better because you still have to get the ball taps every now and again because you got metal in your crotch. Yeah, I got a whole, you know, I got metal balls. That's why I had a big surgery. So I just don't like that. This is like a little like if you're gonna bring new tech, it better be so, so good that we go. I. Oh, remember the old way we had to do it that because these body scanners that this person's talking about, the, you know, the, the big, you know, the big open door one that they describe. I don't know if that's how I would describe it. The new open door full body scanners. I think I would describe it as the thing that like scans you. Whoosh. You hear that big whoosh. But none of those are making me think, wow, look how far we've come. It's got, I think that's got to be. If you're going to have tech en masse like that. It better be so it better be iPhone level, you know, BlackBerry to iPhone level improvement. J train podcast gmail.com j train podcast@gmail.com. all the feathers, Uncle J Train. Thank you. Ready for you to come back to Denver. I will be in Denver. All those dates are coming. My ticked off Tuesday is waiting for an employee ID check at. Hold on. My tot. My ticked off Tuesday is waiting for an employee to ID check at a self checkout. Again, another new tech that isn't where we needed to be. You're going to do self checkout and you don't have some sort of device where I can put my ID in, have it get checked. Big green light. You're free to have your alcohol, sir or ma'am. Why isn't that there? Particularly in establishments with no human manned checkouts as an option. Rather more of a single human overseeing a self checkout surveillance zone. Yeah, that one person. And it ends up defeating the purpose. That one person is manning six different, you know, self checkouts at once. And let's say two people have a problem. Now you're there for the day. Grocery stores have apps, convenience stores have apps, fast food has apps, medical records and banks have apps. My phone number is tied to a grocery loyalty account with an app. Why can't we just self verify ID with face ID yet like everything else? Well, there's people that would go against that because they'd be like, I don't want to give away too much, but it's like it. The toothpaste is out of the tube, the cat's out of the bag. It's over. Like, we the. The idea that we're like gonna like, somehow you're on the grid. If you're listening to this podcast, you are fully on the grid. So I'm with you. The time wasted on this and the subsequent small talk I have no interest in participating in is soul sucking. Sometimes I know this societal function has no you look old enough override either, which I'm sure will get more annoying with time for everyone. Appreciate your input on this rather important issue. Love all that you do. I promise I can't pass for a post. Y2K, baby. Just. Just have a thing. I mean, this leads to another complaint. I use my ID at the airport. I got a new ID because mine was like cracking and I just assumed I had this quote unquote real ID that they're now requiring when you travel. And it's not it because when I went to go, they were like, May 7th, you better get a real ID. I'm like, well, what. What are you talking about? I just got this new id. Why wouldn't this just be the renewed version? What? What, in what world do I have to go get this, like, this magical id? Where do I even get it? Like, I would think that you renew your license. It's just there. But onto this point, why isn't there a scan? Why isn't there. Put your ID in. Here's the tech. I can dream it up. I can be Steve Jobs, who wasn't like, even an engineer. This guy was just like an idea guy. There's a great Bill Burr bit about it. He was just like tossing ideas out there. So here's my idea. You put your, you put your ID into a scanner and then you have a face scan that matches your face to the ID done. You don't think that's better than the. The bouncers they've had looking at your face, looking at you. You don't think that would be a better option than, hey, yeah, once you're done with them, can you come help me? I just want to buy these Amstel lights. And then you look over and they're, they're like, yeah, you're fifth in line. It's like, what happened to the dream?

Hey, just listen to you on benefits and wanted to write in to say that I love your content on there and J train and feel it's time I contribute other than subscribing, of course. Well, thank you for being a subscriber. Your Patreon subscriber and you subscribe to the benefits on betches. Thank you. I've just had a luxury a J. I've just had a luxury lounge adjacent experience that I'd love to hear your take on. I'm here for context. I don't want to have children and make purposeful decisions to avoid the noise and stress of children in my downtime. Okay, so you would go to like an adult resort. You would go, you know, to a nicer restaurant where there's no like kids menu. I get it. As such, members bars are ideal. Interesting, I never thought of that. So there is a big growth and you're gonna see these. I mean New York, there's like a ton of them now, these member bars. There was Soho House that was kind of like the one that everyone knows. But there's, you know, it's called. I went to one. I was a guest at Bond something. Bond. Zero. Bond. That's one. See, I'm a Soho House member and it's mostly, I would say 90% of the reason I'm a member of Soho House is the hotels. Because when I'm on the road, it is a great option for a really nice hotel that's priced pretty well. So I understand what you're saying. I belong to this members club. It keeps kids out because this is a nicer, fancier a thing. As such, members bars are ideal as they mostly. They're mostly not child friendly. One that I like had one that I like has a rule to allow children in on Sundays until 10am however, this Easter weekend I arrived to the. To an event that was labeled adults only Easter egg hunt. That is fun. That is a great idea to meet people to find two children there aged maybe six to eight. Well, listen, if it was just Easter egg hunt. Oh my God, we thought this was for kids. No, no, no. If it is promoted as adults only Easter egg hunt, you have to protect the event because what's going to happen, an event with a. Which I think is a fantastic idea is now done. You let one kid in, all the kids are coming. You let One kid in. Oh, I saw kids there last year. They'll let you in. So the adult only. And you ruin what goes in those eggs. Is it a lot of money? Is it alcohol? Is it, you know, some weed? I don't know. Like, I, I just don't understand, like when it says it's adult only and it's the fault of the parents, but it's really the fault of the members club. You have to protect the event that you've promoted and the people who came because of that promotion. When the hunt began, the pair quickly ran around the space. A large rooftop with a pool. They okay, we might be. See, we might belong to the same members club. And we're grabbing most of the little bags they'd hidden. I take issue with this for a number of reasons. I shall list. Well, I, I, I, I've probably already said a couple because I, we're on the same page. This is, this is a disaster. Firstly, it was midday, so they should not have been there. This was clearly signposted as an adults event, or I and others I'm sure would not have attended. That's the thing. Promoted as an adults event. You have to protect the people who came. Because it was promoted as an adult's event. The space also did clearly. Oh, the space also did not find. Hold on. I'm sorry. The space did. The space also did another event that was four children. They also took so many chocolates that members arriving were searching and not finding anything. So the kids made ransack of the place. Yeah, of course. Hey, kids, there's chocolates hidden all around. They will look until they pass out and die. They will go until their legs stop taking them anymore at the thought of candy. And everyone there for the adult version of the event is there to socialize. They're there for other. You know, you can get candy anytime you want. So of course, you know, I'm gonna have a drink. Maybe I'll look for some eggs. It'll be a way for me to meet new people. And now the kids have ruined it. And there's no reason to even look for eggs anymore because the kids are sitting there, you know, like otters on a dam with just chocolates all on their stomach as they, you know, feed on them. No, this is horrible. I would write a letter to the, to the members club. I ended up re. Okay, so this person went above and beyond. They also took so many chocolates that members arriving were searching and not finding anything. I ended up re hiding some of mine so that there would be Some for others to find what a good soul you are. Lastly, their parents seemed okay with this and watched me re hide some of my own stuff which annoyingly their children then also found. So the kid. This is a, this is a disaster. This is horrible. Just imagining you. No, I'll put some away for the, for the people who came here for the adults only event. Then the kids screaming. I found it. If I'm being reasonable, the children were not particularly loud or anything, but I did hear other people say it felt weird to be competing with actual children to find chocolate. Yeah, it is a little weird this whole thing. Listen, going to an Easter egg hunt as an adult, I understand anyone, you have to kind of put away all those voices in your head that tell you what, are you a loser? You need to stamp those down to find the whimsy in you. To find the fun version of you. No, no, everyone's doing it. Who cares? It'll be fun. Everyone's getting involved. That and, and the minute you see kids around, it kind of like goes, what are you gonna like shove a kid in the face like that's my chocolate. What are you gonna do? Start wrestling chocolate out of 8 year old's hand? The only fix I could have seen was to ask staff why children were even there. But that didn't, but that did seem a little mean spirited. No to me. In order of who, as an aside, I feel most places are child friendly. They often ruin pubs for example. So can't member bars be a rare safe space? This is now so long. This is now so long as it seems to be a bit. This is now so long as it seem to a bit unhinged. But anyways, what do you think? No, no, no, I, I agree with you. I think the order of who is wrong is the space. The people who run the space. I think informing them you pro. And this is honestly, if you showed up to an Easter egg hunt at your members bar and you were complaining about the kids, it would be harder to take your side. That would sound mean spirited. That would sound like a curmudgeon. That would sound like you're an adult. You can buy candy anytime you want. This is a kids event. But if it's promoted as an adults only Easter egg hunt and then kids are brought, you need the, you need the establishment to police the event that they promoted. So in order of who's wrong, it's the, it's the members bar first. No, you know who's wrong first. It's management at the members bar, then it's the the bar workers and the people running the show. The event people. Then it's the parents of the kids, then it's the kids. You have done everything right. All you did was show up to an event that was promoted thinking it would be the event that you saw in the poster and it wasn't false. False advertising. And I don't think you sound unhinged at all. I would be annoyed too. What a great way to meet people. To me this should be a dating event. I would do this outside of an Easter egg hunt. I think we should do this for the next you up you know we should do this at u up live shows. We should do it. We should say and after the show there is a there's a phone number hunt. We have hidden 10 men's phone numbers around this place that are looking for people to date and the date starts now. That's a great idea. I'm just constantly problem solving here on the jtrain podcast it's a ticked off Tuesday. We will be back next week. Boom.
