This is a Stand Up New York Labs production providing you podcasts since 2013.

Hello and welcome to the J Train Podcasts. This is J Train, Jare Freed.

Coming to you live from West Hollywood, California, I'm still in Lala Land, come back to New

York tomorrow, which is Thursday and real time. But for you, it's Friday and it's

the end of your week and I'm very excited. But before we get into anything, I met some of the fans out here.

We did one show. I didn't really get around to do many shows because we were working during the day.

Tough to get out at night. So great to meet some of you and hang out and get you

to show real quick. It's also big announcement. We got some hats baby. You want a hat?

You want a feather of these nuts? We got a feather hat. An embroidered feather hat black with a white feather on it.

That's how you feather these nuts. It's going to be on my Instagram. We're going to have some posts about it.

So if you've seen on my Instagram, Instagram stories at Jare Freed, go get a hat. Be a part of feather nation.

Every time you purchase that hat, it feels like my nuts are out and you took a light feather and just

graze the same. I always feel weird as I'm doing this feather analogy. I do it every episode.

Sometimes I'll catch eye contact with the guests. It looks as weird as you think it looks.

Yeah, and it's like, oh my god. So I look away and I'm just going to my feather thing.

I can still see you. So okay, you can still see me and imagine the whole thing.

I'm very excited about today's guests. This is a, we were put together, you know, sometimes people tweet at me, have this person on.

You know, and I'm always gay. Let's do it. Let's make it happen.

It's a little demanding that they just say have, have someone on, but you know what I like their tenacity.

You know what? Trust your listeners. That's what I always say. Listen, I love a good critique.

There's this thing right now where people are like, oh, you can't handle. You know, if you get mad at someone getting, no, I get mad when the critique,

the effort put into the critique doesn't match my effort in putting out the product.
