Jared Fried
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 Fried coming to you live from the West Village of Manhattan. That's right, it's a ticked off Tuesday. Are you angry? Do you have a complaint? Send it to the J Train podcast and every Tuesday I will complain with you. I will find a way to tell you how right you are. I will add on to your complaint. It's a complaint duet. That's the whole premise. Every Tuesday here on the J Train Podcast. Want to thank you for being a listener. Thank you. I love doing this show. This show is so much fun. I like doing it alone. I've been enjoying this, the daily episodes. If you're a TikTok Tuesday person, thank you. If you're an everyday person, thank you. Thank you. If you're a chit chat Wednesday person, thank you. That gets me to my first complaint. Well, I have like a number of complaints. First, let me start. I guess now I'm out of order. I had a complaint first and then I was going to get to this complaint but I had someone. Here's my first complaint with what's. If you're in la, I hope this podcast helps you. I hope this podcast gives you a moment to get away from all the horrific things that are going on over there. I'm listening to other shows that are based in la. I'm seeing the Tiktoks. You're seeing the videos, you see the devastation, you see what's going on. And I just, I can't even comprehend what you're going through mentally. And then there's people that are like, I saw TikTok today though. They were like, it's so weird. Some people are like business as usual and some people don't have a home. And you're like, oh my God, I can't even imagine. It is a mind fuck from all angles. They're, you know, watching on tv, who uses it to get ahead. But let me. The one thing now that we're, you know, and please don't I'm not just saying that to say that. I mean it. And I. And from over here in New York City or, you know, from, you know, with my watching on my phone what people are posting. I know I will start at I know nothing. You know, I just feel for anyone who's going through it right now. And again, I hope this podcast and what we do here, this is the whole point of this podcast and Ticked Off Tuesday especially, which used to be called Luxury Lounge, is that you can come in here and complain about things and no one can say to you that there's other problems in the world. You can. You can come here, you can send your email, and I will not say to you, well, come on, you do. You know, there's horrible things happening elsewhere. No, that's not gonna happen here. And I love that. I love that this is what I can do for someone. You have a complaint about a receipt that you got. Your gift didn't come with a gift receipt. Fine, send it in. Let's complain. Let's gnaw on the bone. Because this week I'm seeing all these posts, and it's very much in the vein of Ticked Off Tuesday. And what we do here, there's all these posts on social media trying to parent people who are assholes. And it's like these posts, and you've probably seen them, too, and it's like, hey, guys, let's be gentle with people who are going through it right now. They lost their home. Telling them that they, you know, it's just things. And it's like, I can't even. I see that post, and I'm like, who are you talking to? The person that writes to you. They're just things. You can replace them is fucked out of their mind. They don't know where they even are on this planet. You're not teaching them a thing. And the person that says that makes it political. The person that. The people that are acting garbage right now that see a post about, hey, help this person. Here's a link. Here's. Here's. You know, that have anything to say other than, you know, I'm here for you, whatever I can do. The people that have anything to say right now are so far gone that the post that tries to teach those people how to be adults and be classy and be. And be a nice person are annoying me. Hey, right now we got to be gentle with our friends. You know, to say that you. You know, you. Please don't tell people that a home can be replaced. Yeah. If you have to say that to someone. You are. Who are you talking to? And I know this because I post on the Internet for a living. I put up stuff all the time. So I feel like I get maybe more than when most people get. And I hate when people use the word people. People are mad. Who's the person? The person that's mad, the person that's offended is the most fucked up person. But they have the same access to the Internet, the same Internet as you. I'll give you an example. I posted, I did a question box on Instagram and again, I don't know what to do or how to help. And I talked about that on coffee with J Train last week. If you're signed up for Patreon and if you have a ticked off Tuesday that you want to submit, jtrain podcastmail.com, you can DM the Instagram account at J Train podcast or you can sign up for Patreon. All three ticked off Tuesdays today are from Patreon. They get first dibs. So. Patreon.com Jared Freed so I posted on, and so I posted on. I did a question box and someone wrote to me, what's your hot. What's your take on the LA fires? Which is like a crazy question. But when I read that question, I'm like, okay, let me be as empathetic as possible. They didn't mean it in the tone that it gets read in. To say that someone has a take is crazy. There's no other take than I feel horrible for anyone going through it, you know, years from now and in the coming, you know, how do you, where do you go from here? That's a different story than your take on the fire. Like, come on. So I put up, I go, listen, I don't. The only take is I feel horrible. And then I wrote a thing and I go, here's the American Red Cross. That is the link. I didn't know what link to share. I shared the Red Cross. I am a, you know, I'm a 39 year old who's lived in this country his whole life, the Red Cross. And if you look up the Red Cross, they have like, you know, like, there's like, it's the best, you know, bang for your charitable buck. They have like a great rating. And I even, I just looked up quickly with, while knowing nothing, I looked up how to give to the LA Fires, American Red Cross and then the, you know, the LA Red Cross. So I gave that link and I got a message from someone being like, Basically telling me that the Red Cross is bad with Israel and hasn't done the right thing. And I'm like. I really was like, you want to reach through the phone and grab the person and shake them and go, are you out of your fucking mind? Are you crazy? How did you get to this? Do you hear yourself? Do you think you're helping anything? Do you think you're helping anything? I put out the Red Cross link. Hey, guys, remember to be gentle with your friends sharing links. A lot of them just want to help and do whatever they can. Like, that message is not getting through to this crazy person. And I screenshot it and I block them. And then I have a friend who I would send this to, and I send it to a friend and I go, can you believe this shit? And they wrote back. They go, oh, my God, that's my parent. And I'm like. And the parent is like a big fan of mine. Likes my stuff has followed me for years. And I'm like, dying, laughing. I'm like, oh, my God. It's like, they exist. This person's a real person. You want to say, everyone's a bot. And you go. And it's like, this person lives amongst us, thinks they are doing the right thing, thinks that their comment means nothing or their comment is helping in some way. And it's like, they're not even the person who's a piece of shit that reads, hey, let's be gentle with people. Doesn't. Doesn't even know they're the ones not being gentle. And it's like, we're fucked. We're fucked. I just. I couldn't believe this. And none of these people know that they're. That they're being assholes and that they're commenting things. They're not doing this. It's not part of their grand plan to make people upset. No, they really think this is how you speak with people. And, I mean, I got a message. Hey, why do you hold your phone at an angle? Because I love my body. That's why. Are you out of your mind? Because I don't want to stop drinking and eating carbs. I don't want to lose 30 pounds. So I hold my phone at an angle to make myself look good so I don't feel like a piece of like. Like shit. Is that what you want to hear? Like, and then you go, these. I don't think, you know, again, how many bits have been done on. Like, everyone shouldn't have a voice. Like, we, you know, some. But I don't think anyone knows that they're on the negative side of things, that they're bringing things down. So when I see these posts I get so annoyed. Please be kind and use your words wisely. Who are we parenting? Nobody. They're not listening. They think they're good people. They think they're actually doing a great job. They're your friend's parent who thinks that they're helping in no way are like like. So that's my ticked off Tuesday. My other one. The reason I got I got into this early is because, you know, I got I flew from Phoenix to New York. Let me complain about going cross country west to east is awful. It is. You lose the day. You are losing the day. You can't leave early enough. You would have to leave. I guess that's why the red eye exists. But a red eye isn't even worth it. If you've taken a red eye, you know that you don't get that day. You're not getting off the plane. Okay, let's do Monday morning. No, you're going to be garbage the whole day. I left Phoenix at 6:00am A 6:00am flight, that's a 5:20 boarding time. That's a 4:30 leaving the hotel for the airport. Hotel was a half hour from the airport. So I left 4:30, got to the got to the airport at 5:10 minutes through security, two minutes at the Delta Sky Club and we're off boarding. Everything went perfectly and it's still the worst flight you can take west to east. I got to my apartment at 1:00. 1:00pm Is that what time? Maybe it was 1:30. Yeah, because I had a meeting at. No, I got, I got at 1pm I got back. So the day's over. Especially a winter day. It's dark. You know, darkness is coming at 3:00. 3:00pm the worst flight to ticked off Tuesday. I have three complaints in front of me from you, the listener. We have three sponsors. Me Undies. Valentine's Day is on the horizon and I know you want to look good. Me Undies is going to help you look huge with their contoured powder and ball caddy. I love that. Choose from tons of Valentine's Day prints so you can hit the sheets in style. Meundy's stuff is ridiculously comfortable and comes in tons of colors and styles to match your every mood. I love Me Undies. I'm wearing them right now. They're very comfortable. They're great. I think for Valentine's Day the idea that you can get Like a. Like you can accentuate your. Your. Your partner's bulge by giving them a gift to wear this, like, kind of different underwear. That's fun. Get it for yourself. You want to accentuate your own bulge. I think that's great. Here's the other thing. They have great lounge wear. I love. Like, to me, Meundies is the home of comfort. If you're like, oh, I want to get something comfy, cozy, go to Meundies. If you're looking for even more comfort, look at. I'm reading this. Meundies also has. Makes the best loungewear. I agree. Their signature fabric that literally feels like a hug is now available in joggers, hoodies, onesies, and more this Valentine's Day.

So go, go, go to me undies again, I always say with me undies, you have a pair of underwear that you're dealing with, so why don't you throw that one away and get a new one? Make the back of the rotation. The front of the rotation. Make it. Make. Make the ninth hitter in the lineup as good as your first hitter. Man, I was so fired up. And I think it's also has to do with the question box I put up. The question box just invites, like, write anything you want. And then you realize, like, people just write things. Like, I had someone. They're like, nice sideburns. Would you think of growing payas? I was like, what? Now I'm like, looking in the mirror. Do I look like I'm growing payas? And for those that don't know, that's like, the little curly fries that are the Hasidic Jews have. I'm like, it's like, yeah, that person wasn't meant to be conversational with everyone.

We have one more sponsor, but let's get to some complaining. Ticked off Tuesday. Boy, am I ticked off today. This is probably relevant to a chunk of listeners based in New York City who also drive daily. As you probably are aware, congestion pricing went into effect today. So I live in the area that is now the congestion. Congestion pricing area. I've been hearing about this for a couple years. I feel a little stupid. And again, let me just be upfront with like, I don't know, I don't use a car in the city. I. But I do take an Uber to and from the airport. I do leave this part of Manhattan to go do shows I go to, you know, so it is going to affect me. And I feel a little bit insecure. Is that the word? I feel a little, I feel a little ashamed that I'm not as up on this as I can as I'd like to be, considering this affects me. But that's kind of the whole rub of it all. Like when you have these things going to affect and you don't, you know, You. I think this is why people lash out, is they feel a little stupid, they feel a little helpless, and then they want to scream about this. And here's the other thing from what I know, and I'm going to read this person's email because I think that, you know, they're obviously up on it. As someone who drives to New Jersey from the Upper west side daily for work, I have been dreading this. The point of congestion pricing is to reduce the number of vehicles in the zone, quote, unquote, to get more people to take the subway and raise money to improve the subway. Why should we, the drivers have to pay, literally and figuratively for this? I pay enough at the bridge and tunnel. I pay enough for gas. I pay enough to be a New Yorker. Shouldn't the people utilizing the subway contribute? Raise the fair a tad. Sincerely, a ticked off about traffic batch. And listen, he the. The sentiment of this email is something I have noticed. And I listen, I don't know, I saw a video and I was. Of people like cheering on that the tax was going to affect. And the one thing that, like drives me crazy is they're like, it's gonna help the environment. And it's like, this is to me, I hear that and I'm like, get the fuck out of here. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This is. And this is the thing. You're making an unhappier public. And here's what's going on. And again, I admittedly know very little of this. I just don't like the idea that you want more people to take the subway. When everyone is hearing in the news how dangerous the subway has become, how you go on the subway. It is looney tunes down there. It has gotten worse. Yes, it has gotten worse. It is not as bad for me and the areas that I take the subway, but it has gotten worse for me, which means it's getting worse for people in areas where they have to take the subway way more than me. So. And everyone's talking about it. So how there's a distrust of will this money even go to improving things? And let me also say to this person, it just felt like it was like, I just don't trust who it's coming from. When you say, well, it's for the environment, well, go fuck yourself with the environment. If the subway's not safe and we're putting more money towards it and you're not, it's just all craziness. Now here's the thing that I notice. I have a friend That I think a lot of people are getting frustrated with their being taxed and they see the amount of money coming out and they're not seeing the bang for their buck. And that's what's going on. You go, I have a friend, he lives in California. And he was talking about how he goes. He basically. And this is a friend of mine who I consider one of my smartest friends. I don't know how much that says, you know, but I'm. He was like, based on the taxes here, one every 10 years I work for the state is the way he was interpreting it. He's like, one year out of ten, that's how much I'm paying in taxes that I work for the state. Now, that's a very different way to look at things. But the more you get taxed, the more you don't feel that your surroundings are adding up to the dollar amount in your head, which is emotional, the more angry you get. And I think this is where this person's coming in. They're going, I'm paying all this stuff just to be here. And now here ain't so great. And now if I even say that I don't give a fuck about the environment because I don't want to spend the extra $7 a day wherever it is now. I'm also evil. Like, even in my head right now, I know I'm going to get a message. Oh, you don't care about the environment? No, I don't think that us as people are really the ones that can help the environment. I think this is a corporation thing. This is Go Dr, New Jersey. You see smog stacks going out. This is from another space that can actually help when you make us, the peasants have to, like, you know, put your recyclables, which they're not even really recycling. I don't even believe. Put it in the blue bag. And then they mix them together anyways. That's when you start to go, why am I the one dealing with this? Why am I the one tiptoeing the most miserable place I have ever been? Okay, not the place. It's one of the most beautiful places, but the people were the most miserable people. And I'm saying this, and I told them when I was on stage, the most miserable people were the citizens of Vancouver, Canada. I have done shows in Vancouver a few times now everyone there cannot stop talking about how much they don't like Vancouver. And you look around, you go, oh, my God, this is like the most beautiful place in the world. What Are you talking about? It looks like the future. You don't even understand if you've never been there. It is the most unbelievable looking place. And I was in Vancouver and I'm staying in this huge high rise. It looks like it's out of a movie. And the mountains and the sea, you can get to the water, you can go to the mountains. They have a major airport. It's beautiful. The people are good looking. There's stadiums. You go hop. How could you guys all be so miserable here? And then I go, I took a trip, Vancouver. Like, if you go like 30 minutes outside of Vancouver, there's this like, lake and I'm looking it up, it's something cove. Deep Cove. Deep Cove refers to the community in the easternmost part of the district of North Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada. Yeah, I went to Deep. I think that's where I went. Deep Cove. It's literally like 20 minutes. Like you, you can get there and you're like, you guys have access to this, like, beautiful area. You, I mean, go right now, go look at the pictures. It's the most beautiful place. Am I thinking, yes, it looks like a ski town. It's got this main street that's beautiful. They had these donuts and the houses are beautiful. And I went with a friend who took me out there to show me and like, got coffee and all this stuff. And I'm looking at the water and it's glass. And we went and walked around, you know, the Deep Cove area. And I asked him, I was like, do you know anyone with like. I was like, do you ever come out here? Like, when do you come out here? And they're like, sometimes we, like, you know, rent a boat or whatever. And I go, do you know anyone who like, lives near here? And they're like, no, I've actually never met someone who lives here. And I thought that was so interesting. And that's kind of when I was like, why are people so miserable in Vancouver? It's like you're surrounded by this amazing infrastructure, this amazing town, this beautiful nature, but anyone who moves there doesn't have the money to use it. No one feels ownership over it. And they're getting taxed at like 50%. And then on top of that, they're in a very liberal part of the world where everything they say has to be correct and they could be judged. They seemed exhausted, exhausted, underpaid, overtaxed. And you go, oh, that has an effect on the sentiment of the city. And I'm seeing this with this congestion pricing where you have people that are like, another one and the subway's still dangerous. So, yeah, that's my. I mean, yeah. I mean, this is like real stuff. This is dollars and cents. And again, you live in a capitalist society when you make everything about money and then you go, well, it's not about, well, what about the environment? No, no, no, no. I work for the state once every 10 years. Is it worth it now? When people love where they live and feel that their tax dollars are worth it, they're actually like, happier, I think. You know, everyone's always going to complain about tax, you don't want to pay. But I'm saying this congestion pricing, it feels like it's like, you know, it's just another thing. And that's why I'm with you. It's. And again, it makes you ask questions. This person is asking questions. You know, I pay enough of the bridge and tunnel. I pay for gas. Or, you know, shouldn't the people. Again, a fair question. Or is the money from the subway even being used correctly? Let's do another ticked off Tuesday before we get to it. Factor. Oh, baby.

Those are the ads. They're all in the description of this episode. We got two more ticked off Tuesdays. A friend of my boyfriend's family. So a friend of my boyfriend's family, let's call her Jess, who is around my age, 26, used to always somehow appear at my boyfriend's family gatherings and even trips. Okay. At Christmas. I was so happy Jess wasn't going to be there because she has the. Has the exact energy of Rose Burns character in Bridesmaids, making me Kristen Wiig, of course. So she's like a little bit hoity toity Roseburn's character, she's like a little snobbish. She's got some dough. She's a little braggy. Can't believe that. And this is the girlfriend. And also like that, just having another person there, it's hard. You say it's. She's around your age, they're taking up the oxygen that you would be breathing. There's a comparison game that I'm sure you don't want to do, but you do just because you're human. I've always felt a weird vibe from her, but couldn't quite prove it. While we were opening gifts on Christmas morning, I was handed a gift and told it was from Jess. I was the only one to receive a gift from Jess. Okay, this is like out of a. Like a horror movie. And I thought it was weird because I wouldn't consider us friends. I opened the gift to find a bikini from a really nice brand. Right after I opened it, I was told that I was given the swimsuit because it was too small on Jess and the brand doesn't take returns. I'm sorry, but what the fuck is this? A diabolic. As diabolical as it feels, it sounds very weird. It is weird to just insert one. First of all, it's not normal. It's not normal at all. You guys, you said you wouldn't consider yourself friends, but, like, maybe your boyfriend says, hey, Jess texted me the other day. She got this gift that doesn't really, you know, work for her. She was wondering if you would want it because she, you know, she thought you might enjoy it. Like, that's the normal way to go about it, to, like, nestle it under the tree amongst the other gifts. And then it feels like, I mean, I would, like. It's crazy. I would feel like I would be, like looking around for hidden cameras. Oh, what's this? That's from Jess. Did anyone else get a gift from Jess? No, just me. I would be like, is this gonna explode? No. This is crazy. And it's also, like you explained Rose Byrne's character from Bridesmaids. The snobbiness is. Yeah, the. The. The. It's the person that, like, somehow lives in the land of morality and doesn't live in the gray. Like, they. You know, this type of person would go, so you don't want a gift on Christmas? I just thought of you because, you know, you're so petite and, you know, I thought maybe you would like a nice bathing suit from a nice company. You wouldn't want that. And you'd be like, you know, I do. And now it's in your hands to be the misery. Now you're the one who's, you know, conspiratorial. You're the one who's. You're the one who's, like, paranoid. This is how all horror movies start out. Everyone's like, come on, she gave you a gift. And you're like, yeah, but didn't she give me a gift in the weirdest possible way? There was a way to give this gift to you in a normal fashion. And it is she either, if she has your number, hey, I just got this gift. It's a bathing suit. It's a really nice company. They won't let me return it. And I thought of you because it's a little too small on me. And, you know, and too small on me is also, like, you know, whether you like it or not, a compliment of sorts. You're so nice and, you know, petite. And me, I'm a big, you know, big animal. And I can't fit in this bathing suit. That would be, like, the nice way, I think. But to have it, like, just under the tree, that this is how horror movies start. This is like, the music will get weird. This is like how Chucky, you know, you know, the doll that came to life, leaves you a gift. You're like, does anyone else have a gift from Chucky? No, this is. I. I'm with you. Also, for her to go on trips with this family, it is a weird situation that she's just hanging around. Have you talked to your boyfriend about it? I don't know. I would be interested to hear the rest of the story. Let's do one more ticked off Tuesday. I have a ticked off Tuesday to air with you. Really? More of a LLC luxury lounge complaint. They are one in the same. I was. I was Trying to buy a new salt and pepper mill set from William Sonoma which means I was in the market to spend about $200. We can acknowledge this is ridiculous, but like, I like what I like. Lol. No, you don't have to acknowledge that you want a high end salt and pepper mill. Got it. My complaint is this. I went to check out and saw a 24 shipping fee added on top of my cart. I was completely shocked. But then. But I then figured the free ship, free shipping threshold must be a little bit higher. I went back and added more to my cart to test my theory. It turns out Williams Sonoma doesn't offer free shipping only on select collections during promotional times. I couldn't even do free shipping to a store. I couldn't even do free shipping to a store. And they don't offer most of these sets to buy in store. The lounge felt like the only appropriate place to get this off my chest as Williams Sonoma's audacity really had me gobsmacked. I'm with you. And here's what's not being acknowledged. This is them saying we have a customer base that doesn't care about their money and doesn't care, you know, and will spend any amount. And it's a judgment of your character. And that's the frustrating part. And you say we can acknowledge this is ridiculous, but I like what I like. That cannot be. You were the William and Sonoma. Williams Sonoma is saying that if someone will spend $200 on a salt and pepper mill, they can go themselves because we're not giving them free shipping. They can afford it. They don't care about money. They got enough money. They, they'll spend it. We'll get them. And I'm sure that the $24 shipping fee is probably more than it costs to get the shipping. If they can do free shipping, I'm sure it's somewhere between the two and they're probably over. This tells you everything you need to know about the Williams Sonoma brand. They don't care about the customer. They know that you are a certain profile that you like a $200 salt and pepper shaker. So you're not going to care about the shipping. And it's a judgment of you as a person. That's the thing. This is a corporation that is looking at you and going you are frivolous with your spending. So we're going to charge you even more because you need a salt and pepper Shaker that costs $200. And that's the annoying Part everyone wants free shipping. Everyone wants a deal. No one wants to be taken advantage of. Again, not to go back to the congestion thing, but they're basically saying like you want to be in the greatest city in the world, they'll pay anything. Add the congestion pricing. I just don't understand the con. Not to keep going, harping on it, but to go back to the congestion pricing, you need people to come into the city to work. Is it gonna I. To me, I would assume, you know, again that my. The economics major in me says that all now New York's gonna get more expensive. It's definitely more expensive to have like things done, you know, like to get, you know, this is. Where do you. You know, I use handy to get a cleaning person. The cleaning person's got to charge more. They got to come into the city. If they don't live in Manhattan or they don't live in this area, they're going to charge this. I'm going to pay for it. Well, William Sonoma, we're not happy with you let this person have free shipping. And the idea that they're like, oh, ship it to the store. Cost as much. Here's the other thing that's even more annoying. They should low. It's not even like they said, they're not cutting you any deals. They're saying $24 to ship it to the store and your house. Why would those two be the same? You know why they're the same? Because they know you will pay for it. They know that you want a $200 salt and pepper mill so you can get fucked. Ticked off Tuesday, back next week, boom.
