You're a nosy. You want the full sitch? Come to Pop Culture Thursday. Hello and welcome to the J Train Podcast. This is J Train Jared Freed coming to you live from Delray Beach, Florida. That's right, every Thursday is a Pop Culture Thursday. Were you the listener right in with some pop culture stories you'd like me to do? Or I go to Page Six and I read headlines and I riff. That's basically the show. I have a bunch of listeners submitted articles that you wanted me to go over. Most of them are page six. I would say 1, 2, 3, 4 out of the five are page six. So we'll do those first, and then I'll go to Page Six and we'll go and read and riff and do all that. So that's the. The show. If you want to be a part of Pop Culture Thursday, send in the article that you want. Read to J train podcast@gmail.com. that's J train podcast@gmail.com. there's an Instagram account. You can DM stuff to us at J Train Podcast. I would love for you to follow that. We have a YouTube account. By we, I mean I, Jared Freed on YouTube. I would love for you to get involved with what I'm doing there. It's a bunch of standup. There's. Now what I would say is there's hours of standup that really goes unwatched. Um, I don't know why I'm still doing it. So I'm posting every Saturday. I'm posting me kind of struggling through bits, and I'm posting all the bad stuff, the stuff that I have to deal with during a show. So I don't know that maybe that's hurting me. Maybe that maybe you see that and you go, boy, what a loser. He stinks. But I think it's funny. But I, you know, maybe I'm wrong. So go watch that and comment. You can tell me this stinks or yeah, comment with this stinks or this was a good diversion from my day. Those are. Those are two things that rarely get commented on YouTube. It's way more personal and dark if it's negative. It's way more loving if it's positive. I'd rather the thank you for five minutes away from my own thoughts. That's what this podcast is about. Five minutes away from your own thoughts. More than five minutes. I do 20 minutes daily at a min. We have one sponsor, Tommy John. I'm wearing those undies as I tape this episode. Big Tommy John fan, big fan of the two things that I really love. The waistband is a thicker waistband. Not thick like I'm trying to think thick. The, the long way. Not the. It's not like sticking out from my stomach. It's. It's, it's longer down my body. It's thicker down my body, which I like. It's like wearing a heavyweight belt that all of this is a horrible description for how much I love with how much I love these Tommy John underwears. Underwears. Underwear. And they don't ride up on your leg when you put on your jeans. That's like I probably said that perfectly. And the other part, as bad as you can say it with all those summer barbecues on the calendar, we're going to want to start. You're going to want underwear with a little stretch. Tommy John is the answer. With up to four times more stretch than competing brands. It's the most comfortable underwear out there. It gives you the perfect fit. Doesn't ride up. I agree with that. It's ridiculously soft and breathable. It's so perfect for those hot summer nights. Here's what I'll say you these are also priced right comparatively to. I'm in the underwear game big time. Heavy. I've been wearing the other brands that have been sent to me as podcast sponsors. I've worn those, they're fine. I've worn high end brands. This is, this is as high end as a well priced underwear can get. I would put this up against any high end brand. They're really good. They don't ride up. That's a huge deal. Get ready to upgrade your underwear drawer. That's a big part of this. The man in your life, you, if you're listening, you have underwear that you're dealing with. How about you be good to yourself. Kind yourself in the smallest way possible and I'm going to give you some free money to do it. As soon as you try on a pair of Tommy John's you won't want to wear anything else. Tommy John's gives you the support you need. That'll boost more than just your confidence. I, I agree with that. I agree with the read.

And that's a. That gets you the Friday episode. It's five bucks a month, plus you get first dibs on ticked off Tuesday to complain. I. I know maybe I sound like I'm in a complaining mood. I am. I'm in a mood. I don't know what it is. I'm sitting here in Delray, just sitting here, and it's. It's. The weather's beautiful. I was about to say the heat. The heat is way better here than it was in New York. I'll get into that coffee with J Train. You'll hear all about my heat problems in New York. I have a lot to complain about. Listen, I have nothing to complain about. That's. My complaint, is I have nothing to complain about. There's no one who would care about my complaints. My complaints are stupid. But let's talk about these idiots. Allison Brie cuts Dave Franco's toenails in Public park and fans have thoughts on TMI video. So it seems as though they've posted a video. Here's what I know about Allison Brie and Dave Franco, who I haven't thought of in literal, quite literally, years. I'm trying to click on the article, and it's giving me issues I haven't thought of. Since Dave Franco and Alison Brie apparently are married. I had no idea until they were kind of on a. Here's when I find out about people. This is when. This is why Page Six articles don't shock me. Because about a month ago, people were like, so you know, Alison Brie and Dave Franco are promoting a movie. They want to come on the UF podcast. And I go, oh, okay, look who's back. And then all of a sudden, you see an article like this, and you go, I mean, I have so many complaints with Page Six right now. I don't want to sign into Google. I don't care about your fucking cookies. Just let me read the article about Alison Brie and Dave Franco and how they did a fucking prank so that they could get their movie off the ground. Alison Brie and D. Yeah. Cause so when I hear a story like this, I go, oh, this is their way of getting in the news. This is their way of being shocking. And Page Six writes about them, and we go, toenails. What a bunch of weirdos. And then you see that this is just a. A stunt. Alison Brie, who to me was hot girl from community, Dave Franco, good looking brother of Dave, of the other Franco. James. I met Dave Franco in Off the Wagon after a show at Greenwich Village Comedy Club. We took a shot together, I think, and I was like, you're James Franco's brother? And he knew someone else who knew someone else or he was with a friend who was like, at the time, a fan of mine. There's no way he remembers this as much as I remember this. Dave Franco might be taking togetherness a step too far. Footage of Bri cutting Franco's toenails while sitting on a picnic table in Griffith park in Los Angeles surfaced on social media Tuesday, and fans had plenty of thoughts. We're just idiots. We're just idiots, right? Like, this video that they wanted out there were like, oh, my God, now I'm looking at it doesn't look as stunt. It actually looks like that's what they're doing on a Saturday. I mean, I. The footage of Bri cutting Franco's toenails while sitting at a picnic table. Fans. Okay. The community actress was seen discarding her husband's toenails in the grass as he scrolled through his phone, looking completely unbothered. Why would he look bothered? He's getting a spot treatment. While some were grossed out, others speculated it might be promotion for their new horror flight. Okay, good. At least there's some people with some like, thought to them together, in which they play codependent couple. Oh, I mean, like, this is literally in line with the. The movie's whole thing. The picture of her doing it. It's very subtle. It's very. Here's the thing. Let's play a little. Would you rather. Would you rather see someone cutting their partner's toenails in a park, throwing the discards into the grass, or would you rather step on someone else's toenails that they put on their bathroom floor? Like, I actually think this is, like, the way to do toenails, if I'm to, like, be honest as far as, like, getting. Because when I cut my toenails, I do it over the toilet. Here's the thing. Toenails is one of those cutting your fingernails, cutting your toenails. To me, I have home bathroom things and away bathroom things. I want to make the tough messes other people's problems. That's kind of how I negotiate shaving toenails. So when I shave, my whole life, my dad has been saying to me, shave at the gym, have them clean it up. We don't want the small hairs in the house. So to me, Cutting the toenails in the park is like kind of the right way to go. Instead of toenails over the toilet, which is what I do. And I just assume they all get in when I know they don't. But I'm saying I'm trying just enough to put my foot over the toilet and cut them over the toilet. And let's just assume that the toenail clippings got in there. If they didn't, I'm going to turn an eye to that. Listen, this podcast is all about being honest. Maybe you're grossed out and maybe you're connecting with me more than you've ever connected. They're both comedians. Easy there with the word comedian. They're not both comedians. A quote. They tend to do stuff like this. The cameraman is probably even with them. One Reddit commenter wrote, I hate that the redditor is both right and saying it in the most annoying way possible. They're not both comedian, they're both actors. This is probably stage and if it's not, the person filming is a lot weirder than they are. No, no, the person filming. Oh my God. Dave, Franco, Alison, Brie. Look, I gotta get my phone out. Is she cutting his toenails? That, that makes sense. That's a. That's a straight line to this. This gotta be for the new movie, cuz. Why else would they be doing this in public? Well, because of the toenail clippings getting all over the house. I just told you a good reason. Meanwhile, as other could, others couldn't contain their disgust. Yeah, that's nasty. Allison, can you imagine people do this on my account all the time commenting as if we're having a. A conversation. Allison, are you being nasty again? Where's she gonna go? No. User 12345 I'm just being me. You know, me. User 12345 well, another comment to doing this for a man in private is so wild. Oh, that's a lonely person. That's the big thing. You know, we don't do this for men. That's like the big lonely woman thing online now. There's a lonely man thing. I'm just saying some things are tells for either sexual. Another user chimed in. Tmi. Some things don't need to be shared on here. Man, I don't know if this is tmi. This to me, toenail clippings are like the least gross thing. Toe not gross. It's not hot to me either. So it goes. I guess it goes both ways. It's either like you know, it's like a smell. It either gets you or it, like, turn. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe not like a smell. This is from Entertainment. Here's another article from Entertainment now which I have no relation to, but we'll give it a shot. Sent in by you, the listener, Colin Jost reacts to wife Scarlett Johansson becoming the highest grossing actor of all time. What's he gonna say to that? What's he gonna say, a woman? Like, was he gonna be a dick? What's he gonna say other than, yes, we get to go on more vacations? What is Colin Jost gonna say about his wife being named the highest grossing actor of all time? What? In what world is this a story at all? Hey, Colin, what do you think of your wife being the highest grossing actor of all time? Really? Well, she is really talented. That's. That's the article. That's what he's gonna say. She deserves everything she gets. What do you think he's gonna say? That pig? No, he's gonna be. There's no Colin. Jose is giving major green flag energy. This annoys me so much they're describing him. To call it green flag energy, first of all, they have a kid together. But is to say that he's one of the good ones to date. This is not. This is. This bothers me in the dating conversation to say something a guy would do just to get by, to. To say, to take like, Colin Jost, hey, your wife is the highest grossing actor of all time. Publicly, privately, maybe he's a monster, but publicly, there's only one answer. I'm so proud of her. To call that like a green flag is to give someone credit and give men credit and give dating partners credit in a place that there's no credit to be earned. So. And I know they gotta write these. They gotta fill space. Scarlett Johansson's husband has the perfect reaction to his wife's career milestone. Over the weekend, news broke that the Avengers and Jurassic Park Rebirth stars films have raked in over 14.8 billion globally. This is also a fake stat to say that, like Scarlett Johansson was a part of the Avengers, was a part of Jurassic Park. These are two properties. Like, it's a fake statistic. Johansson is now ahead of Marvel co stars Robert Downey Jr. And Samuel L. Jackson. Like off the top of your head, would you go, whose movies made the most? Would you say, yeah, you would say the Avengers, the Disney films? You wouldn't say that? These actors say it would be as fraudulent to say Robert Downey Jr. Grosses the most as it is to say her as per numbers. Her latest movie, Jurassic Park Rebirth opened in theaters on July 2 and pulled in 322.5 million on opening weekend alone, cementing Johansson's new spot at the top. Okay, according. Let's. What did he say? Her top. Okay, we. Then it goes over her top grossing films. Look at the really teasing this article. Okay, so what did he finally say? Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Saturday Night Lives, Jost had a charming take on his wife's history making success. If it's anything I it's going to be about how he's a loser and she's his sugar mama. Like, it's going to be something in that vein. Okay, combined, me and her are probably one of the top couples at the box office ever. He joked. She's probably doing a lot of that lifting. But combined, that's a huge record too. Yeah. So she's do. I mean, he didn't even go hard enough. He could have gone bigger for her. He continued with mock bravado listing of his own bro blockbusters, Tom and Jerry Coming to America, how to be Single. I think those may have all been number one movies yet. Okay, so he did the thing. Oh, my God. I guess she's my sugar mama. Oh, I guess we're the highest grossing couple. Well, now that I hear it, I like the. I like the angle Joe's took. His angle is smarter than I even thought to say. You know, I guess we are both to. It's his way of saying how stupid the statistic is, which. All right, cheers to you, Colin Jones. By the way, I will say this. Me, a nobody screaming into a microphone whose YouTube can't do shit. Colin Jost has been nothing but nice to me. Every time I've run into him in a way, and I'm saying that as if we know each other. He. He met me like one time, two times, remembers me, says hello, like, stops in his tracks. I will tell you this, like, if you want to know if someone's a nice guy, I'll say again, like, Green Flag Energy isn't saying to a reporter, your wife is, you know, being nice about your wife's achievement. To me, that's like the wreck. That's what you do to stop for, you know, chubby J train and be like, hey, how you been? Kind of tells me a lot about you, I gotta say. Dax Shepard shares scandalous snap of wife Kristen Bell in nothing but socks to celebrate her first Emmy nomination. This is like one of those articles that Makes me roll my eyes in a way that, like, because I know what they're doing. Okay, here's two things can be true at the same time. I need to see the scandalous snap of Kristen Bell and nothing but socks. I know that this picture he posted in celebration of her Emmy nomination is like this fake. I'm messing with my wife. It's not really a scandalous picture. But here we are. Me, the idiot who clicks page six. The, the puppeteer who pulls at my strings because I know exactly what this article is, but it's like, I guess I'm gonna click on it. Dax Shepard celebrated his wife Kristen Bell's first Emmy nomination with a stripped down snap. The actor took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a picture of his partner seemingly doing yoga while wearing nothing but a pair of blue socks. The Punked alum 50 covered Bell's backside with a red square. So let's see the picture. She is very naked. This is a very naked picture. The socks. I get it. Listen, I'm willing to call things how they, how I see them. This is a Jared is wrong episode. This picture's way more scandalous. And, and I can't believe he posted it. I, I actually like, even with the red square, there's this, like, this is a very personal at home picture because she's like in the backyard. It, it is, it is not a glamorous version of the joke that I thought it would be so good for them. Yeah. And Dax Shepard seems to have this view from society as like the people's champ. Like he's on the inside but he's an outsider. That's why armchair expert works. People might. This is a quote. People might not know everything that happens behind the scenes in order to create an any Emmy nomination. Let me read that again. People might not know everything that happens behind the scenes in order to create an Emmy nominated performance. Like Kristen's shepherd captioned the social media upload. This may or may not have been part of her training, but it felt right. He continued congratulations in all caps. A lister sounded off on the revealing snap in the comments section. Yeah, the A listers I can understand being like, whoa. Oh my God. Dax. Gwyneth Paltrow wrote. Yeah, no, no, no, no. Gwyneth is not posting this picture. And if anyone she was married to posted it, she would feel very much, you know, violated. I think while May Whitman, whoever that is, applauded the Veronica Mars alum. Incredible form. I'm sure May Whitman's famous. I just don't know who she is without a picture. Shepherd notably posted the same shot of Bell fl Mother's Day in 2021. He's doing repeats. See, now I'm out. Jared's right. You can't do a repeat. See, again, like I knew the joke that was coming. The picture was impressive because it was more personal than I would have thought they would have posted. But how about you haven't done. It's been what, three, four years? You have. You haven't found another picture of her naked doing fun. Momming has changed since I was a kid and I'm here for it. He wrote at the time. Look at this specimen. Kind, patient, nurturing, hilarious, uber talented, generous, hard and soft. I like that one better. My girls and I hit the mega bomb lottery. That one's better. That. Well, that's because it was real. He's going to the old tricks for this one. For the Emmy knob. All right, let's do another. These are user submitted. I love doing the user submitted ones. If you have one J train podcast gmail.com also, I'm on the road. Bloomington, Indiana. I'm going to be there this weekend. I have heard tickets are slow, so if you know anyone in the area of Bloomington, I listen, I wasn't going to Bloomington expecting hordes of people. That's generally not an area of the country I do well in. I don't even do well in Indianapolis. Why would I do well in Bloomington? So listen, I listen. I'm not like I, I do the show like I, I the idea that I show up. Well, there's no one here, so I'm not going on. No, I go on and I perform as if it's Madison Square Garden. Well, I'm working on a new hour. I mean, when it's a smaller crowd, I kind of feel like I can like get into some stories that maybe someone would like. Maybe something a little new. Justin Bieber continues to put on a united front with Haley after admitting marriage woes. This Bieber thing, I know he's like the biggest star alive and there was like, you know, the Haley Bieber thing, his wife, people want to know. It sounds like he has, he just seems like a child star because you have high highs and low lows. Justin Bieber continued to put on a united front with Haley wife Haley after the pop star admitted to marriage struggles on his new album. I also think it's not fair to put a headline that someone's dealing with marriage struggles when you're kind of, you're using their art. You don't know when he wrote that song or when that happened. Like, we've all had arguments. I mean, now I sound like a douchebag artist type. I'm just saying you could write a song about a very big moment, an argument you had, and then walk away from it. It could be gone. So Justin and the Rhodes Skin founder were seen smiling in several cozy selfies. Posted his Instagram Sunday. The couple was. See, this is a non story. This is a non story. The idea that you're saying he had a new album where they make it sound like he did an album 15 minutes ago and just put it out there. That's not how music works. The Sorry singer, 31, was wearing a green and bread. I don't even this story. Get out of here. What? Because they were like sharing pictures of looking like they were happy after an album where he talks about a fight. That's what. There's no songs about how happy people are that do well, I guess. Well, I'm happy, you know, like those. But I'm saying like no personal song. It's either like a loving montage song or it's like I'm going through some shit. That's what the songs people connect with. Like, if I went on stage and talked about how great my dating life is, it wouldn't be very funny. So if someone went to my show and they were like, Jared is really going through it, they would be taking a produced piece and making it much bigger than it is. You know, my. The, the stuff I talk about on stage is something I've gone through, went through, am going through. But it's not the whole. It's a shot. It's a picture of a moment. Barack and Michelle Obama address divorce rumors in playful podcast moment. Touch and go for a while. They really seem to like hinting at maybe they've been divorced for a while. I mean, that is a story that's out there that they are actually divorced. And this is. And any president, I mean, we just never have seen that. We don't know what that looks like. That's why there was a movie. Like what was the movie? You know, that's why in movies they make the president kind of different than we've seen. It's interesting. Oh, the president's a single bachelor. Oh, my God. The president's a woman. Like, you know, they've done this over time. Barack Obama and Michelle Obama tackled divorce rumors head on in a new podcast episode after the former for I mean, this podcast can't be doing well if you're already doing these stunts after the former first lady teased a very, very, very special guest on IMO Wednesday. I mean, are we all struggling? Is this what's going on? Like, even Michelle Obama is like, ah, we got to get our big. Who could we have on? Oh, Barack will do it on. Her husband appeared, and Michelle's brother Craig Robinson sarcastically expressed disbelief. Wait, you guys like each other? He asked. Oh, that's the big joke. That's the big joke. They just do a lot separately. And I, I, I think in defense of people wondering, you just don't. We've never dealt with this version of a former president, you know, like, you know, Bush and Laura, Bush and Bush. They, they're holding hands everywhere they go. You don't, like, see them without each other. They're just, they look like a painting, you know, like, they're just like a still life. Like, Barack is active. He's out there. He's at basketball games. He's at, you know, performances. Michelle's doing her own thing. She's at places. They're where celebrities have been. So I, I kind of get why people are like, wait, they're not together. What's going on? That's what people do. Elsewhere, Michelle took the moment to clarify to listeners, There hasn't been one moment in our marriage where I have thought about quitting my man. We've had some really hard times, and we've had a lot of fun times, a lot of adventures. I've, I've become a better person because of the man I'm married to. She continue. This is any couple usa. This is, this is the most relatable thing I've ever heard a president and his wife talk about hard and tough times. We've had good times. Okay, well, are we surprised? Yeah, because we're like, everyone thinks everyone else's life is easier. You know, we, we're like, well, you're the pre, you're the former president, the wife. You guys get to just kick it. All right, let's go back to Page Six. And listen, if you want to get involved with the Patreon patreon.com Jared Freed. Joe Rogan launches himself off inflatable slide during mega yacht vacation with wife Jessica Ditzel and kids. I've never even heard his wife's name. I didn't even know, I knew he had kids. I thought he had daughters. Joe Rogan and his rarely seen wife and kids. I. There is a thing where you go certain kids, you're like, I see them all the time. I know There are kids abound, Rogan. How do they, you know, do we just not care? Are they not on? Is that a decision, I wonder? Or do we not care? But I mean, I guess you can bring your kids to events, to red carpets. You could have them being shot by the paparazzi in the way that you want them to. I. Yeah, I guess in the same way a normal couple would put their kids on social media or wouldn't put their kids on social media. I guess a famous person has that choice, too. The Joe Rogan Experience podcast host, 57, Jessica Ditzel, 49, and two of their three daughters, Lola, 16, and Rosie, 14, were photographed having some fun in the sun aboard their chartered mega yacht on Tuesday. Where were they? Oh, they were really vacationing. I gotta say, Rogan's in some pretty good shape. 57. I'm looking at this picture. He is, he is burly, he's round, he's. He. But he's not tall. So for his body, I'm looking at a shirtless picture of him and you go for his body to look like this. That takes a lot of work at that height. The group got use of the 50 million dollar boats, towering inflatable size. They took turns jumping off and diving straight into the clyster. Crystal clear Adriatic Sea off the coast of Croatia's Prague Island. Okay, so she's reading a book. I mean, this is quite the water slide. My God. And Rogan is in the air. Look at that. He really got after it. Yeah, fun family vacation. The slide looks way bigger in some pictures than it does in others. Okay, let's do. I like this article because the Kardashians are the gift that keeps on giving. They seemingly. I mean, this is what they do. They just keep making stories. Page six takes so long to download. We might actually have to cut some of this to. No, we don't. Inside the family drama that kept Kendall and Kylie Jenner away from half brother Brody's wedding. Report. Okay, there's reportedly bad blood in the Jenner clan that led to Kendall and Kylie Jenner not attending their half brother Brody Jenner's wedding to Tia Blanco. Now, Brody Jenner, if we're like, go back to the history, how I remember it, Jared's history, how he remembers it. He was like the heartthrob, like, at the. There was a time where he was the guy. And this is why you have to give the Kardashians more credit than maybe people want to give or maybe the. The noise gives them. Kylie and Kendall kept their Eyes on the prize. They were all about being business women doing business things because to say Brody didn't have the same opportunities. Tense relationship between Brody's mom, Linda Thompson. Okay, so maybe that's the difference. It's the bomb. You know, which of these is not like the other. They have the same dad, different mom. And Kris Jenner is known as the momager. Tense relations between Brody's mom, Linda Thompson and Kendall and Kylie's mom, Kris Jenner has spilled over to the children. Although Kendall and Kylie could easily have made arrangements to attend Brody's Malibu wedding at Thompson's home, while over the weekend the sisters chose not to prioritize it, a source told the outlet. Okay, so then they show Brody and the mom. The mom is gorgeous. My God. Yeah, that's the mom. Or it's gotta be again. It takes so long for these to to load. And then they show a picture of of Chris. Chris looks good too. Linda and Chris have not got gotten along in decades, leading to Brody to reportedly dislike the Kardashian momager. He's never gotten over it. And so when the siblings were trying to build relationships, Brody would often fall back into this narrative of blaming Chris for everything. This is like normal divorce couple, new girlfriend, new new wife stuff. While Kendall I, I, so it's no surprise that you go, hey, they, you know, the there's a rift here. And then to see your sisters become such things, successful things, I mean, it would take a very strong person to not feel jealousy. Right? He's never got. While Kendall has reportedly made an effort to get along with her dad, Caitlyn Jenner's side of the family, the source said Kylie has firmly aligned herself with the Kardashians side. Kyle has admitted to friends she just feels like a stranger in the Jenner family, the source explained. So I'm wondering who this came from. She has nothing in common with them. She feels her place as part of the Kardashians refs for Kylie. Kendall and Brody did not immediately respond to Page Six for request for comment. TMZ reported on Monday that Kendall and Kylie didn't attend the wedding because they thought their presence would take away from the spotlight from Brody and Blanco. Brody and his half sisters have nothing but love for each other, a source told the outlet. Yeah, this is a tough one because they show up, they become the story. They don't show up, they become the story. But I think them showing up, you get one picture, there'd be an article. I think people at the wedding are kind of used to this quote unquote hullabaloo that they let's go to regular Page Six. I feel like I'm Oprah Winfrey. I love an Oprah pokes fun at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Didn't she? Isn't she involved with them? Isn't she the one that, like, made them, like, you know, Instagram people like Oprah Winfrey pokes fun at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Sussex last name. So this was a story where Megan corrected the girl from the office, whatever the fuck her name is Mindy Kaling. Mindy Kaling got kind of, like, screwed. There was a week of stories where Mindy Kaling was like, oh, Meghan Markle. And she's like, it's Meghan Sussex. And then I didn't even know that that's becomes their last name. I didn't know he was Harry Sussex. I, I. And if I didn't know, you probably didn't know. I would say the everyday Jim and Joe was sitting there being like, wait, it's Harry Sussex. Like, if someone that's Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, like, that is the what your name is. If someone was like, yo, my buddy. Like, if someone's like, have you heard about Harry Sussex? I'd be like, what happened to the guy? A guy from your bar you go to Harry Sussex. Sounds like it could be like a, like your accountant. Yeah, I got my taxes done with Harry Sussex. Meghan Succix is not what I think of her as Oprah Winfrey. Get it Gently. And so when that story came out, it made this is how little Megan Marle kind of knows about how we feel and how where our attention goes to correct Mindy Kaling, who we all like and think is funny on her name. You go, what a like, if. So you go, we're team Mindy. She didn't mean to. I don't know your name, so I'd be Mindy in this case. So Oprah, like, nobody knows the, the, the temperature better than Oprah Winfrey. That's I why I would consider her. You know why? That's why who I would consider. That's why she is a billionaire, Oprah. And she's a media billionaire. So knowing the temperature is her job. So Oprah Winfrey gently poked fun at Meg at Prince Harry, Meghan Markle's Sussex last name on a recent podcast while appearing on the let's Talk off camera with Kelly Ripa. I mean, everyone's got a podcast. Kelly, you haven't made Enough money. Kelly, what is it? Honestly, Kelly, you have a morning show where you're on it every day. Get out of the way. I'm saying this for me. Yeah. I'm a fucking delusional idiot. You need a podcast. You need one, Kelly. You got to do promo codes to Kelly. What do you. What do you make it? And then we're gonna have to hear from. Your daughter's gonna take over the podcast when she gets out of college. Is that what's gonna happen? Is it? What are you doing with. What is this podcast for? Which aired on Wednesday. And you get Oprah. The former talk show host was asked about potentially being gifted baby chicks. Winfrey explained she would immediately take them over to the Sussexes and laughingly added on a couple of X's to the tongue twisters name. So she's even like, who would call them the Sussexes? Winfrey is a longtime pal of the couple, having attended their 2018 wedding. She also conducted the pal the pair's first interview. Yup. Where they proudly showed off their chicken coop after moving to California following their resignation from senior royal family duties. Senior royal family duties. So then they get lesser royal family duties. I don't know. They get junior royal family now. The royal couple's last name made news back in March when Mindy Kaling appeared on an episode of Markle's Netflix lifestyle show With Love. Meghan, The Mindy Project alum 45, referred to the duchess several times as Meghan Markle during the show, prompting the soups, the Suits alum 43, to correct her. It's so funny too, that you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know, I'm a Sussex now. The suits even reading that you sound like a douche. She then went on to share how meaningful the name is to her nuclear family and. Okay, so this is just a redux. This was one line in a podcast where Oprah talks, like kind of makes a little bit of a mention of this old story where Oprah basically agrees with us peasants that Meghan Markle sounds like a douche. We'll do one more story. Oh, my God. I got a comment. Pete Davidson's girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt is pregnant with couples first baby. Whoa. That's a story. That is a big one. So, I mean, at some point, Pete, you're. You're, you're banging your way around Hollywood. You gotta figure a baby's gonna show up at some point. I didn't know he was in a relationship. I don't know who Elsie Hewitt is. Who is she? How do they find each other? Pete Davis is gonna be a dad. The Saturday Night Live alum's girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, revealed on Wednesday that she's pregnant with their first baby. Well, now everyone knows we had sex. The 20. I mean, that's the caption. That's Pete Davidson being Pete Davidson. That is him being exactly who you thought him to be. The 29 year old captioned her Instagram announcement. Oh, she did that. She. Look at her coming out with a funny caption. She's gorgeous. I mean, my God, where did they meet? They show them in a photo shoot. Well, now everyone knows we had sex. There's the baby. The picture of the baby. The social media slideshow kicked off with a smiling snap of the couple cuddling with their hands resting on this actress's stomach. The carousel went into feature footage from an ultrasound, as well as multiple loved, loved up selfies with. We hear that the pair's little one is due early this winter. Look at this. They show a picture of her in a. In a bikini. I mean, she has an otherworldly body. I mean, you can't even. It is undescribable. I mean, I could describe it, but I'd sound like a disgusting animal. She came to the show in Newark in June. A source told Page Six he's never had a girlfriend come to his standup show. Well, that's just plainly not true. Another insider confirmed Pete is so excited for this next chapter, adding that his family is thrilled and can't wait to become grandparents and aunts. Etc. Hewitt notably sparked pregnancy rumors Hewitt notably sparked pregnancy speculation over the weekend when she posted bikini pictures via Instagram. New boobs are pregnant? One of the model's followers asked while another observers. Another observed, babes, you either got new boobs or you're preggo. So that's the picture that I just referenced. Her in the bikini, her boobs are humongous and I don't even know her. And I'm not even one of those, like, oh my God, your boobs got bigger during pregnancy. Like, I don't even notice that stuff. But they show them in a basketball game. Her boobs are pushed up here too. I don't know. Hewitt did not respond to the comments at the time. She and Davidson went public with their romance in March by packing on the PDA during a Florida vacation. Hewitt Hewitt subsequently made the relationship Instagram official, uploading a video of the bathrobe king of Staten island star to her story. They seem like a nice couple. I'm a Pete fan. I Love Pete. I think he's a good guy. Um, I known him, you know, I haven't seen him in years. But I mean, I mean, we've. We drove together to open mics, you know, things like that. So I'm always happy for a good Pete. He does look happy, which. That's a nice thing. Days prior, insider revealed to us that the comedian was very happy while dating someone very different from anyone else he's ever dated before. He has to say that. David. Yeah, he's. She's different than Kate Beckinsale. He was at a wedding I was at with a girl he was dating, and it just looked so miserable and tough to be him dating. They had a camera as close as I am to my camera that's taping me for the clip that we're gonna post. And you're just like, man, this is a genie wish gone bad. You want to be famous? This is what you get with it. We'll do. We'll do one more story. There was a story that I had heard was about, okay, so I like this story because I do think this goes back to the Kardash Kardashians, but I do. Of all the Kardashians, the one I find most interesting is Rob. I feel for this guy. He was on the show, he was a good looking guy, and then he gains a bunch of weight in a way that you assume something is off in a way that he might be coping with something just as an outsider knowing nothing. You go for someone to kind of go that way. Vulnerable Rob Kardashian rev reveals why he stepped away from spotlight in rare interview he is away from the spotlight. Like, he doesn't really do these. So. And like, if you think of Rob Kardashian against the backdrop of, I mean, at least Brody Jenner, you go heartthrob, teen heartthrob who grew out of it and doesn't do that anymore. Rob's story is way more sad. It's like brother of billionaire sisters. Every single one of them had success. Smack them in the face and he's known as a failed sock company entrepreneur. And you go, man, that's pretty tough. Rob Kardashian won't step in front of the camera if he's not comfortable. Simple as that. Former reality TV star addressed his stepping away from the spotlight in a rare and vulnerable interview with his sister Khloe Kardashian on Wednesday's episode of her podcast Chloe in Wonderland. So him and Chloe, like, live together on the show. They seem to be the Closest of the siblings. It just has everything to do with myself, he told his sister over the phone when asked why he doesn't film the Kardashians like the rest of the sisters. And there's another sister that's never been on the show. So the idea that he, that he's, it's weird that he's not on it. Like there's a whole nother sibling that we don't know about. And if I'm him, I go, let me just be a dad and I'll, I'll wake up in the morning, I'll go to the gym, I'll be good to my kids and I got a pot. I'll never have to worry about money. I'm sure he doesn't. Even though the sock thing didn't go well, I don't want to be filming and putting myself in a position where I'm not comfortably explained. I'm not comfortable in my skin. So why would I want to be on camera and just be vulnerable and let people in with what's when? That's not what I want to do. That's a, that's like a real quote. Rob, who shares a daughter dream with ex black China, further reiterated that he won't put himself out there if he's not comfortable in his own skin, which he hasn't been for years. Ooh, you got to feel for him. That's like a real quote. Like that's like when you say I'm not comfortable in my own skin. On a podcast that you know is going to be reported on page 6 secondhand, the 38 year old added. Filming and doing all that is not good, is not for everybody. And I choose my own happiness. I mean this guy's been to therapy times a million. I mean these are all from a therapist. And peace that then filming for somebody that, that doesn't do anything for me in my personal life. Then they show old pictures of him. I mean in the old pictures, like he's a good looking guy. Like he's. And now he's like a dad. Despite his feelings, Rob explained that he is not against making a few cameos on the family's Hulu show. I love filming if it's positive and natural and I'm feeling good about myself, these are real. I, I like being around my family, so that stuff is good to me. I have nothing against filming, it's just the reason I don't is because I'm a homebody and I just choose, like I said, my happiness, my peace. This sounds like someone who is sensitive and fears going on camera and having someone pull at the strings that they know are sensitive and, and will make him have to rewatch them on TV later on. Like, to me, this is Rob creating a boundary with his family. Like, I, I actually feel for him like I've always felt for him. Cause I, I'm sure I, I think Rob probably has similar body issues to me. He also shut down any speculation that he isn't filming with the family because there's a few between them. Noting, I think he's actually maybe the bigger man, to be honest, not to take aside, because I feel like I know him a little bit. I feel like I know him because of just the way he's being vulnerable. But it feels as though he knows going on this show is a no holds barred type of option. When you go on the show, you are in the Thunderdome and you can't go on the show. He. It seems he knows that you cannot be on the Kardashians and say. While also saying, here are three things I don't want talked about, which to me means Kris Kardashian is a dictator. It means that's why she's as successful as she is. That's why the family's been successful. You either fall in line with anything Goes, Chris, this is Chris's World, or off the show. All right, so that's our Rob Kardashian pity hour. Pop culture Thursday. Back next week. Boom.
