This week on the JTrain Podcast, Jared Freid sits down with his hilarious friend and comedian Nimesh Patel for a packed Chit Chat Wednesday! They dive into Nimesh’s life as a new dad, sharing what’s surprised him most about fatherhood. Jared also quizzes Nimesh about the looming TikTok ban and how the app has played a major role in his career—leading to a shocking revelation that leaves Jared speechless. Lastly, they get into the mysterious drones over New Jersey, sparking wild theories and laughs.

Plus, Nimesh reflects on his roots in New Jersey, shares why Indian comedians like him and Akash Singh crush it in New Brunswick, and talks about adding an eighth sold-out show to his run this week. Whether they’re debating aliens, AI, or the best way to roast Chris Christie, Jared and Nimesh’s conversation is as entertaining as it is unfiltered.

The two break down the wild, unpredictable ways performers make money—from TikTok paychecks to finding five figures sitting unclaimed—and what happens when comedians finally figure out the passive income game.

Nimesh also gets real about life as a new father: the sleepless nights, constant learning, and humbling realization that babies don’t come with an instruction manual. It’s a mix of comedy, relatable truths, and behind-the-scenes stories of juggling stand-up success, finances, and family.

Whether you're a creator, a parent, or someone who just wants to know where your money might be hiding—this episode’s for you!
