He dumped me because I'm not Jewish!! - MONDAY MAILBAG - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

It's Mailbag Monday!! 💌 Jared returns from the road with answering your mailbag mondays!! Happy Holidays!! 🎄❄️ This week on Mailbag Monday, Jared tackles a deeply personal listener dilemma titled "He dumped me because I'm not Jewish!!" Jared breaks down the intricacies of this breakup and offers his signature blend of empathy and humor while addressing broader themes of cultural compatibility and dating values. Plus, he shares hilarious stories from the road, reflects on the process of building a new stand-up set, and answers listener questions about dating, relationships, and navigating modern love. It's a packed episode of insights, laughs, and Jared's take on your most pressing dating dilemmas. In this festive mailbag Monday episode, Jared Freid dives into the Christmas spirit from a suburban oasis and shares his love for the season—even as a Jewish observer enjoying the world's holiday hustle. From nostalgic drives to see Christmas lights to debates about Jewish identity and dating preferences, Jared brings his signature humor and perspective to the mic! Which is interesting especially because his first email is about Jewish faith! Today’s mailbag features two listener emails. First about a "rom-com-worthy dating dilemma" involving promises, faith, and deal-breakers? The emailer asks Jared if differing religious beliefs, specifically Judaism, are a dealbreaker in their dating life. They share concerns about navigating cultural differences and values, prompting Jared to dive into how to approach dating someone from a different religious background while staying true to your own needs and identity. Second email is a fun wedding question about grooms' party dynamics that sparks a broader discussion. In this heartfelt mailbag episode, Jared dives into a wedding dilemma from a listener torn over whether to include his high school best friend as a groomsman. Should old friendships, even ones that have faded over time, be honored in such a big life event? Jared offers thoughtful advice on balancing emotional connections, the pressure of wedding party symmetry, and the true meaning behind choosing groomsmen. Plus, he shares personal insights on navigating friendships and life’s big celebrations. Tune in for a reflective, hilarious, and relatable discussion just in time for the holidays! Plus, Jared shares updates about his 40th birthday trip to New Zealand, upcoming comedy shows, and why this week is the perfect time to spread the word about JTrain Podcast to friends and family.
