Summary

It’s Mailbag Monday on the JTrain Podcast, and Jared is coming to you from Huntsville, Alabama, with two wildly different listener dilemmas! First, how do you win over a hard-to-impress mom when meeting the boyfriend’s family for the first time? (Hint: ditch the gag gifts and bring flowers)

Then it’s on to a heated debate: just how big should a FroYo sample be before it ruins your appetite and your soul? Jared offers passionate advice, critiques oversized sample culture, and draws life lessons from the frozen yogurt strategy. Plus, he plugs his UK show, new dates in Stamford and Chicago, go see Jared live! Buckle up for the riffs, the rants, and a feather-light graze across the seam of your Monday blues!
