    I’ve been listening to this podcast for more than 10 years, Jared makes anything funny I could listen to him talk about probably anything for another 10 years!

  • Respectfully, change

    Been listening to this pod since 2013, the tfm podcast days. I didn’t mind when it began skewing to a more female demographic because the content was still hilarious and the format worked. It’s just kind of unbearable now. Go back to weekly guest driven participation and listener emails. Bring back a classic shelb or Mansamp type producer. Miss old train, this current iteration is a step back. Said with love because I really do want to enjoy what Jared is doing.

  • More rifs, less burping, slurping, gulping, and re-reads PLEASE

    I’m a fan of the pod overall but it’s obvious that Jared is not investing into these shows the way he used and the way that he does in Uup. I have recommended to friends and they always complain about the lack of editing. I’d love to hear more fun talk and less slurping, burping, gulping, and re-reading. Please drink your coffee and scan your emails/stories BEFORE the pod. Your whole ā€œI want to read it with youā€ is just you being lazy. Cmon. It’s like the crowd work of podcasting. I don’t want t... more

Q: Is arriving at the airport two hours before a flight actually necessary?
Freid says it depends on the traveler. People flying infrequently may reasonably want extra time, while travelers with TSA PreCheck and CLEAR who are not checking a bag can often arrive much closer to boarding.
