Am I being too picky? - MONDAY MAILBAG - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

It's MAILBAG MONDAY! 💌 🙌 Live from his hotel room in St. Louis, Missouri, while gearing up for his comedy special, Jared Freid dives into another edition of Mailbag Monday with sharp insights and laugh-out-loud moments. ⚠️ Trigger Warning: ⚠️ The first email briefly mentions domestic violence. If you or someone you know is in need of support, please contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or visit thehotline.org for confidential resources and assistance. In the first email, a listener debates whether they’re being too picky for making “smoking” on a dating profile a dealbreaker. Jared weighs in with his take on the fine line between being true to your standards and giving someone a chance. Is this an unbendable boundary or an opportunity to learn more about a potential match? Jared brings his usual humor and honesty to the discussion. The listener shares concerns about their ex partner’s controlling behavior, like micromanaging small decisions and setting rules around their daily life. Jared calls out the red flags and offers thoughtful advice on navigating this complex situation while emphasizing the importance of safety and reaching out for help when needed. Finally, the episode wraps up with a puzzling story involving a mysterious Uber ride sent by a former situationship. Jared hilariously dissects the possibilities—was it an accidental drunk text, a misplaced booty call, or something else entirely? His sharp observations and candid advice will leave you laughing and questioning your own late-night texts. This episode seamlessly balances introspection, laughter, and relatable dating struggles.
