It's a mailbag. Munder, you got problems there. I'm gonna help you from the comfort of my chair. It's a mailbag Monday. Hello and welcome to the J Train Podcast. This is Jay Train Jared Freed coming to you live from Delray Beach, Florida. That's right, every Monday is a ma Bag Monday, where you, the listener, email me, the comedian for some advice. That's the show. I got emails in front of me. I've got three emails from the listeners. How do you get involved with this show? J Train podcast, Gmail dot com. That is the email. We'll get right into it. Jared, after getting out of a six year relationship, I'm back on the first date scene and I feel like I forgot how to be a person. That's okay. I get that you go from comfy, cozy with someone where you know all their stories, you know which way they're going to go conversationally, you know who they are, what their insecurities are, what to touch on, what not to touch on. I get that. And that's for everything. That's for dinner time. That's for when you guys are in the car. That's when you're physical with one another. When you're doing your smoochies, you know where to kiss them, that they kind of go, ah. And where they kind of like move back a little bit. They. No, not there. No, not the, not the. No, no, not a guy. You know, those are things, you know. And that's okay. You're new, you're out here and I'm. Listen, I'm happy for you. Nothing is harder. Six year relationship. You're going from one planet to another and you're going from consistent to variable, which, that's a big part of this. Admitting that you as a single person are now dealing with more variables. More doesn't mean good, doesn't mean bad. It just means more. So you are meeting more people, which, and then here's the thing, more means good and bad results, highs and lows. You're going from the land of medium to the land of highs and lows. And that makes you feel uncomfortable. I get that. It's. It's also equally uncomfortable for some people to go from the land of highs and lows to the lands of medium. Know, if you get in a relationship, you start going, should we have more to do? Should I start? You feel like you got to get creative in a different way. Should I plan a date or a vacation so that I can kind of J this up and give it Some action. You know, I, I, I, it goes all ways, I think what single people tend to do and especially with people who aren't feeling great and, and single people are, are kind of more heard on the Internet. Just because you can't look at your partner, you got no one to talk to. So it's like, okay, let me email this. You know this loud, chubby Jew, Jared Freed every Monday Mailbag Monday j train podcast gmail.com if you are in Vancouver and Seattle and you came to the show, thank you for coming to the show.

Let them know there's a great show. I got, I got a good show. We go back into the workshop a little bit. These are club shows except for the LA show. I'm gonna be tinkering. I'm getting under the hood of these sets that we're already getting some great feedback on. So I'm excited to do that in Salt Lake City, Tempe, Arizona and Los Angeles. Los Angeles, part of the Netflix is a joke festival. That's one you want to sell out before you get there. You kind of want to walk in to LA Stratten. I'd like to do a strut. I want a peacock. I want to walk in. Oh, Jared Freed sold out show. I don't care how big the venue is, someone might have a sold out show at a huge 10,000 person stadium. But I want to know that my shows accounted for. So if you know anyone in LA, if you're in LA, get those tickets now. Jared free.com okay, so this person. After getting out of a six year relationship, I'm back on the first date scene. I feel like I forgot how to be a person, which is normal. The hardest part isn't the outfit or the apps, it's getting the conversation going. Okay, good thing you wrote to a guy who talks to himself for hours a week. I feel so awkward with, with. I feel so awkward with small talk. And I never know what questions to ask without sounding like I'm interviewing them or trying too hard. Let me just start with. Let's. I think something has to be acknowledged. This idea that small talk is a negative thing. Small talk leads to big talk. Small talk is how we all kind of function in this great big world alongside one another. That is small talk is the way to oh wow, this person and I have a little Bit of a connection. This person and I, wow, our small talk's pretty good. We, we, we were, we're playing a game of verbal ping pong. We are rallying. Let's move on to other subjects. So I think there's this narrative, a loud narrative from, uh, the Uninspired Losers, I would call them, where what they're doing is talking badly about small talk because that is allowable as a hot take. There's a lot of bad actors out there who will tell you they're not into small talk. It's like one of those things where, like, when someone says, I don't wait in lines, and it feels like, whoa, look who walked up. Is that, is that Meryl Streep from the Del. Devil Wears Prada. They're kind of like tough talking because no one can be like, I love lines. No one says no. I love waiting in the line. I like the opportunity to look at my phone and kind of let my brain melt as I wait to go get a cheeseburger that everyone else has already heard about. And I'm a loser because I'm on the same tik tok as everyone else and I'm unoriginal. So I'm waiting in this line. It is easy. We have to. This is like my new, not new thing. I've been on this for a minute. What does the Internet allow you to say? And that's why people speak like they're being ballsy, because the Internet, they already know. The Internet allows the feet are in the snow already. So when someone says negative things about small talk, what are you going to say? I love talking about the weather. No, I love talking about we. I don't know. The weather's the only small talk I know. I, I, I like small talk. This is a pro small talk podcast. I like talking about TV shows that I'm into. Why not? You're not gonna. So, okay, so I, I think this is like. And again, if you're new here, I read these emails. As with you, I'm reading this alongside you. So I feel so awkward with small talk. Again, small talk. That, that, that phrase, let's not be negative on small talk. I get it. It is given it has negative connotation, but it is not negative to me. I never know what questions to ask without sounding like I'm interviewing them or trying too hard. How do you keep a first date flowing? What are good? Go to questions that feel natural but actually lead somewhere interesting. I need a conversational life raft. P.S. these are some cheesy Ones my friends came up with after reading them, I ran straight to Uncle J Train. Well, I thank you for coming to Uncle J Train. I, I'm going to read the questions that the friends came up with. Are you ready? These are, these are people that are definitely in relationships. Never. I mean, I'm, I'm looking at them right now. What's something you learned way too late in life? What? That's the most depressing thing. What's something you wish you had known earlier on when you were a young, spry gent? No, that. What is this? Are you at their TED Talk? What's the worst thing you've seen occur from a truth or dare game? I, I don't like that one. I saw two cousins make out and they liked it. Like, what do you. I, I don't even know where I would answer that. What songs you think everyone has to hear at least once in their life and then the emailer says, help? Yeah, I don't. What songs? I don't know. I, I, I wouldn't even know where to go with these. What's something you learned way too late in life? I, I don't know how to write a joke. I wish I was funnier when I first started standup than I am, you know, than I was so that I wouldn't have to, you know, you know, bomb as much as I did. All right, those are not good. I don't mean. Listen, I don't mean to like, I, we write to edit. Okay? We write these to edit. I think we can edit these here. Let me go back to your email. How do you keep a first date flowing? I, I'm on the. If I was to give you, like, my dating religion and I was to tell you how I. My dating beliefs, which are mine, and you're allowed to have yours. My dating belief is that if you have to feel like you need to. My dating belief is that if you feel the need to keep a date going, it's not a date worth going on again. And that not. That doesn't mean they're a bad person. That doesn't mean they're not worth dating in the general sense, but they're not for you. I think a first date should feel easy and, and make you excited for the second date. You shouldn't feel tired, like you ran out of questions to ask them. And what stinks about it is you're going to go into survival mode on a date. You're going to try and make that other person happy. If you're like me What I do is I'm sitting there like, I want to win the date. I want them to enjoy their time. So I'm going to go to my, you know, my sheath and start pulling out arrows. Like, what do you do for work? And how do you get along with your mom? And oh my God, that TV show is hilarious. I love that movie. You know, I'm going to like, really try my best. And then afterwards I'm going to go, it took a lot of work. And then I'm going to say, Jared, they were nice but not for you. That's okay. So. And then you say, what are good? Go to questions that feel natural actually lead to somewhere interesting. I can't tell you. This is the thing about dating. You don't know if it's going to lead anywhere interesting to you. It's going to lead somewhere. You hope it goes somewhere interesting. And if it doesn't, good to know you're not there on a date to make sure it goes somewhere interesting. You're on a date to see if you like this person enough and you're interested enough to go on a second date. That's it. I know. And listen, this is diet and exercise. I know. This isn't viral statements. This isn't. These are, these are. So I, I have a couple questions that I can think of. Here's my go to question. On a date, if we run out of steam and I listen, I want to be on a first date that feels like I am in verbal ping pong. We are rallying. Oh, my God. That led to this. This led to that. All of a sudden, 20 minutes into the date, we're on a conversation where we both go, where did we start? That's how you know you're on a good date. Wait a minute. What were we talking about before they. If you say that on a date, you're on a good date. Wait, we started talking about this and now we're talking about how did we start this conversation? When you start asking how you got to Steve Urkel wasn't really the main character of Family Matters when they first started, but he became such a huge hit that they had to include him more. Once you get to that and you go, how do we get to Steve Urkel now you're on a good date. And if that doesn't happen, it was a fine date, but maybe not worth your time to try and see. Well, they check a lot of boxes. They're really nice. My aunt said to go out with them. That's not your responsibility. And here's the thing. This is about changing a mindset. You would like to meet someone, you don't need to meet someone. So good first dates that aren't great. That doesn't mean you have to go out again. So I would say, what's. Here's my question. I like to ask. I like these questions. These are very, very normal. And they should get you to Steve Urkel land. The. You know. And if they don't, that's okay. That's not a failure. I'm just saying this should start. I'm here to give you serves for the rally. What's your plan this weekend? That's a serve. Hitting it over the net. So what's your plan this weekend? Who do you usually hang out with in your free time? Who are the people players? Who. Who are these people? Oh, well, you know, it's my three best friends and then my other friend from camp. Oh, you went to camp? Where did you go? See how we're doing this. Oh, my friend. I went to college with them. Oh, where'd you go to school? Oh, I went to uvm. Oh, my God. Vermont. They go off of trimesters, right? Isn't that weird? There we go. Look at that. What'd you do for dinner last night? I love that question. I was at home and cooked. What'd you make? I make this, like, salad thing with chicken. Pretty boring. Oh, cool. I'm gonna go to the bathroom and try and get out of this date. See? Or they say, you know what? I actually do. I like to go to this one market down the street. Oh, what market is that? Oh, it's like a specialty market. And they have, like, really good. See, wow. We're talking about specialty markets. J train podcast@gmail.com. j train podcast@gmail.com. we have two sponsors, you know, Herobred and Neutrophil. My deal with the sponsors, if they help you, you get some, like, a little bit of cash off. And, you know, hero bread is going to give you 10 off your order. That's 10 off all in. So I had hero bread with my eggs this morning. I love hero bread. Tastes just as good as any other bread. Less calories, more fiber, keep you fuller, longer.

We'll get to Neutrophil after this email. I want to also mention YouTube. I did a hometown visit to Needham, Massachusetts. We tour my hometown, the house I grew up in. We go to Cafe Fresh Bagel. It is a fun YouTube video. I want you to go watch, comment, comment, share. You know, there's like different like price points. Watching that's like giving me a dollar. Commenting, that's like giving me five bucks. I, I do see sharing, that's like a 20 bill. Thank you. Telling a friend that's like seven bucks because it goes to one friend. That's, that's a pretty good though like, I, I, I do see this as a, you know, because I need to get on that algorithm. That's, that and algorithm comes from you touching the stuff. Hello, I'm in, I'm in need of some serious advice. I'm in a seven month long relationship with a guy that treats me like a queen. Like, seriously, I have never in my life been treated so well. I could give. I, I am willing to bet I haven't read this yet. They are treated really nice, but they don't really like them. All right. I could give all the examples, but honestly, I would be going on and on. I feel spoiled. Truthfully, for quite some time it made me a little uncomfortable. But now I just know this is his love language. Acts of service. He and I are 10 years apart in age. He and I are 10 years apart in age. I'm 30, he's 40. He was married and divorced. He has a young child who is in kindergarten. Until recently, I felt some sort of disconnect with him. He is what I would call an intellect. He is kind of nerdy. I don't judge him on this, but our interests are definitely very different. I don't. I don't judge him on this, but our interests are definitely very different from mine. Or his interests are very different from mine. Since he has been so good to me from the start, I have chosen to push our differences aside and embrace his good qualities and kind gestures. He is seriously the sweetest guy and I feel so lucky that he loves me so much. Notice how this whole thing is in the tone of he loves me. You know, you don't email a podcast where they give advice for no reason to tell me how much you're loved by some guy. This whole email and it's like, what do you want? What do you want from a relationship? I'll keep going. There are. There are times that I feel like our differences really make me feel distant. Like I cannot be my true real self. Lol. But really, it is definitely something that leaves a feeling in my gut that I can't quite figure out. Here's my dilemma. I know my feelings are not as strong as his. He loves me with all of his heart, talks about me moving in with him and getting married and simply wants to spend the olives and simply wants to spend all his free time with me. This flatters me to no end, but deep in my heart I know that he loves me more than I love him. This sounds cliche, but I have always heard women want a man who loves them more than they love them. But this just feels crazy being implemented in real life. Is this normal? I am seriously in need of some therapy. But for now I need some unbiased third party support and feedback. Well, I am definitely the third party here. Yeah, go check out some therapy. I'm sure that would be make you feel better. And they have the tools. A therapist has the tools to actually help you. And I would say, you know, your whole email is re. You know, there's a thing that I kind of picked up from Tony Kornheiser, the newspaper writer, book writer, podcaster. Pardon the interruption. I love his podcast. And he said something about the key of me. This is not written in the key of me. This is written in the key of him about how much he loves you and how I. I have no doubt your feelings are valid. We don't know. All I know is you assume he loves you in this way and I'm on the wrong track. My, my, my, my feedback to this is you don't write anywhere in this. How you feel about him. You wrote to me about how much he lavishes you with love and, and how you feel like you are not yourself because of that. And you wrote this line. Women want a man who loves them more than they. They love them. I think that is like the most horrific thing I've ever read. And I think whoever's spitting that out has some real insecurities and doesn't sound like someone I would want to date and doesn't sound like someone I would even want to follow as far as hearing them give advice or speak about dating or speak about relationships. I just don't even understand how that, that is like one of those, like, lines that someone drops into your lap and then walks away as if they're a smart person. I don't. Women want a man who loves them more than they love them. I don't. To me, I want to be. If I, I guess, like, I, I don't know, I would want to be in a relationship where I feel like I like myself the most and like, where I feel funnier because I'm with them, where I feel confident because of how they look at me. I, I want to be in that relationship. And a lot of nice people can just drown you with their love. And if you don't feel like yourself, I don't know what you're going to. I don't think that's wor saying it. And there's a couple things you're probably worried about, like what it looks like to end it with him because you're like, you know, he treats me so nice. I don't know, treat me nice, that's fine. Make me feel like I'm the best version of myself. That's kind of where I want. And I don't mean to be like, you know, I don't mean to be like, hokey or cheesy, but, you know, let's go back to the first email and we talked about like that, that whole like ping pong rally that you want. The ping pong rally of is really just two people who are getting energy from one another. That one conversation led to another conversation. And look at that. We are singing a duet right now. He is performing for you and you're just sitting back and you're not really a part of it. And, and that can be suffocating. So I don't know. Is, is this normal? I don't, I don't think so. I mean, it can be. I don't think it's a long lasting relationship. I think at some Point. You're gonna resent him for loving you like this and giving and sometimes and. And I would say, you know, you, Anyone? It's hard to, like, say this, but, like, I don't. I think reading the room and making someone feel involved in your relationship and asking their opinion is all part of this that he's not doing. I'm not trying to vilify him, but I'm saying this isn't like a perfect relationship, him just showering you with gifts and love and compliments. That's not really talking with you. It's actually talking down to you. It's not even asking your opinion. Where do you lie? How do you feel? Do you feel the same way about me that I feel about you? I don't know. He's not really talking with you. He's talking at you. I hate this dude. No, I'm kidding. This piece of needs to stop with his love and listen. Someone's love language can be showering you with attention and gifts and. And they can get off to that, but they kind of have to admit that they get off to that, and you have to, like, fit that. I don't know, the love language. Things get in the way. I hate that because it just seems like an excuse to not listen to the other person. Be like, well, this is how I do well. It's like, well, how about how we do well? Where's the compromise? So I. I guess what I'm hearing here, if I'm to give you feedback on your email, you never reference how you feel. I. I know my feelings aren't as strong as his. How do you look? But you never, like, do forget what he does for you. Do you like them or do you like the attention? Do you like him? What do you. I would do this. I mean, as an exercise, I write down five things you like about him. And if they're all about how he says nice things to you, what the fuck is that? That's not really a relationship. And the fear is you're going to go back out there. You've heard all these negative things about dating, and you're going to go back out there and guys aren't going to be as nice to you, and you're going to have to try and figure out. And that's called having personal responsibility. I know. Listen, I'm not. I'm not here to blame a victim. I'm not talking about that. If you go in that direction. I think you're hearing me wrong. What I am saying is if you don't have the ability to suss out your own feelings, then yes, the therapist you mentioned is something you need because hey, having taste is what we're talking about. Do you have taste? And maybe you're avoiding having taste because that's a little bit more difficult than just going along with someone because they do nice things for you. I go to a lot of nice restaurants where not all their food is for me. And that's okay. J train podcast@gmail.com J train podcast@gmail.com neutrophil my mom just called me last week.

The book is coming out. I want you to pre order the book. It helps. I'd like to be on the New York Times Bestseller list. That would be quite a surprise for me. Jared Freed New York Times Bestseller that's got a ring to it. If you want to support me and the show. I mean I already got paid for the book. So, like, I'm pushing it for accolades. I want the accolades because I'm a big piece of. All right, Jared. My mom and I are dedicated listeners. We went to your show in DC 1010 would recommend anyways to the story. Love it. Oh, once you're showing. I read that like it was the date they went. It was a better compliment than I gave a credit for. My mom and I are dedicated listeners. We went to your show in D.C. 10 out of 10 would recommend anyways. Well, thank you. I love that my sister has the largest room out of all the kids in our house, which she deserves as the oldest child. Well, ah, deserves. I'm the oldest child. The idea that I deserve it because I'm the oldest. That's what you say when you're the oldest child. I don't know if deserve. I think that word deserve doesn't really get enough feedback. I had someone on TikTok. I made fun of one of the moms on Love is Blind. I said that she looked like she was haunting the room, which is like a. It's a joke. And I listen. I. Jokes sometimes are a little bit honest and a little bit mean. My goal with any joke is to be more creative than mean. You have to care for the subject that you're joking about. And if you don't, that's when. When it's more mean than creative. I think that's when jokes don't land and when people could get offended. I think to look at this woman and say, yeah, she kind of looks like she's haunting the place. That's a fun way to look at it. And then this woman commented. She was like, let's make fun of the people who deserve it. And it's like, by whose account? Like, that's a dangerous road to go down. Desert by who. Who should say who deserves to be joked about and who doesn't deserve to be joked about? So I don't know. I. I don't like the word deserve. That is a word we toss around. But listen, okay, your sister has the old. Your sister's the oldest child. She has the biggest room. And it's nice that she has, like, she's the oldest kid because she. Well, it makes sense. She has the. No, she has the biggest room because she got the first choice. She was the first out of the womb. But now she's left the nest and went to college. Okay, so big sis is gone. There's a big old room left in the house now that she's gone to college. She doesn't want me having the room. Ah, I don't know about that one. But she isn't going to be here for most of the year. I will be. It's not like she won't have a room here as we have guest rooms. O a little bit R I like a rich fan. No, I'm kidding. As the second oldest, I believe I should be moving into her room as it's sitting there gathering dust. Not to mention it's the only room directly connected to a bathroom. I'm not going to college for two years. How old are you? I thank you for listening. I didn't realize I had Gen Alpha listening to this. Okay, I'm not going to college for two years and I believe I need more privacy and it seems absurd to share a bathroom with my sixth grade brother. No, absolutely. You couldn't be more right. As you have experience with siblings, I'd love your 2 cents on the matter if you give the go ahead. I'm sure she would be greatly swayed. Thanks, Jared. Well, let me just say this. Thank you to you and your mom for coming to the show. I, I, I am, I am very I never expect someone your age to be listening to this show and I hope the jokes make sense. I hope this show is appropriate. I, I so you mom, you listen with your mom, so I'm sure this is okay. I hope this somehow is I hope that this podcast is a positive force in your life as a young person, but I never would expect Let me so I hope this is helpful for you to hear a point of view. I hope I'm reasonable. I hope again, I take a lot of pride in this podcast not being extreme. Diet and exercise as I said on the date and, and how you should be treated and having taste. I, I these are all things that, like, I don't I didn't get into podcasting to be some force of good. I did it to be funny so that you would come to a show. We did that. We achieved it. You came to the show. So I'm achieving what I want from this. The secondary benefit of this podcast is feeling very nice that you're listening and you came to me. I'm, I'm flattered. That's the word I'm looking for. Let me get to your email. Your sister is a piece of shit and should give up the room. This is crazy. She's leaving. She's going to come back every now and again. Here's the compromise. You have to fully move into the room and make it your own. You need to also assist her in making this other bedroom her own as well. And, and she'll say, I don't want to come home and share a bathroom with my sixth grade brother. I'm going to be coming home, I'm going to be, you know, she'll be going out and maybe hanging out with friends and want to come back to a room I, I could understand where. But you're there all the time. This is about logistics. This isn't about. And I could see her response saying, well, it's my room, I grew up in it. I'm losing all these memories. And it's like, well, sorry. That's how life works. We evolve, we change, we grow. And if we don't grow, we die. So to your sister, if she's listening to this, it's time to grow up. You're going to college. Your room will be your room forever. You will have those memories. You're going to move on to a new room because you're not at the house as much. And your sister wants to have her own bathroom and have her own two years junior and senior year of high school where she can go into her own room and have her own bathroom and not share it with a sixth grade brother. What a gift you're giving to your sister. And what are you missing out on? The one time you come home and you walk in and your brother's taking a shit, who gives a fuck? So I think to me, like, it's a logistical. When it comes to my, my siblings, when it comes to my brother, I'm always on the side. You know, the. I think when it comes to family, my dad used to say this all the time. He'd be like, like, I make things work with the family. I want, I want my life to be easier. So if my brother was like, I want your room, I'd be like, why? And he'd be like, well, it's bigger and it's attached to the bathroom. I'd be like, ah, yeah, I don't want to listen to talk about this forever. Take the room. What, what am I going to do? I don't know. I. My dad has the saying, he's like, it's not the nuclear family. This family will always be good. It's the people you bring in from the outside. It's the girlfriend or the wife you're going to have. It's these. And it's like a real like, kind of like shitty advice. That's actually very true. He's like, they're the people that are going to tell you you're getting fucked. Like you're going to get a girlfriend. She's gonna be like look at how they treat you. You're. You're really getting screwed. And but really is just how you've kind of like melded into your family to make it work. Now your sister, you have this respect for her where she deserves the room because she's older. So you do show a certain form of respect for her. That is not really logical. It is fraudulent that and she's kind of down dined out on that fraudulent. Well I deserve it. I'm the first kid by whose account. So I think you should say to her, hey, you have the biggest room because you were first here on the planet. You got first choice. That is logical. I've never said to you hey, you haven't been a good daughter recently so you're getting the big room taken away from you. I've never gone two logics when it came to. We just kind of stuck to this because you were here first. Now that you're gone, I'm asking you to go back to that logical space that I have been living in my whole life and look at this situation and say I have a sister who shares a bathroom with a sixth grade brother where she could have her own room with her own bathroom and live the life that I got my junior and senior year of high school that I love so much. And that's why I love my bedroom and all those memories. So can I please have the gift of the memories that you were given Because I abided by the logical decision that you should have the bigger room because you were the first here on the planet. I think I just solved this family's problem and I really like the way I said it. If I'm gonna be. If I'm gonna let me just pat myself on the back. Okay, j train podcast gmail.com we will be back next week. Boom.
