You're a nosy. You want the full sitch? Come to Pop Culture Thursday. Hello and welcome to the J Train Podcast. Is J Train Jared Freed coming alive from Delray Beach, Florida? That's right. Every Thursday is a Pop Culture Thursday where I go to Page Six, I pick out some headlines and we riff on the articles. I am taping this Monday, February 9, 8:27pm Before I take a long trip to New York City. We have you up podcast to tape. I have a show Friday night. That's right, Friday night. And the mood is right. We're gonna have some fun. I'm gonna show you how it's done. Tgif. The first show Friday in New York City is sold out the second. We need some help. If you're out there, you're listening. You're in the New York City area. Come assemble the group chat. Let's go late night. I hate that it's called the Late show because it's 9:30 in New York City. You go to dinner at 8, you're at the show at 9:30, you're done before midnight, I'll have you home and your Betty boo and your PJs with that little stocking cap with the pom pom on the end. So assemble the group chat. Toronto. We're sold out. Already? That's beautiful. Beach Mountain, North Carolina. I am coming. We had that show get canceled due to weather. I am coming for my birthday weekend. So come celebrate the worst day of the year with me, your boy, J Train. I'm also gonna be. Seattle. We added a second show. That one needs some help. Vancouver. I know you guys by late. I know Vancouver. We did this dance before Vancouver. Assemble the group chat. Come, come, come. Tempe la. We gotta. We got a few tickets to go in la. I thought we were gonna do better there, but. Okay, okay. Enough of me complaining. I'm doing well. Everything's great. These are. These are luxury issues that I can complain about on another episode of this show that we do on Tuesdays, but it is Thursday. It's Pop Culture Thursday. It is the Monday after the Super Bowl. The super bowl halftime show is quickly becoming my least favorite day of the year. The act, the after show reviews is starting to be a dreaded day. It happened last year when we had Kendrick Lamar. It's been happening more and more. The more politicized the world gets, the more this becomes. And again, there's a reason for that. It's the lo. It's the thing that everyone knows, everyone has eyes on. So what do you do? It's time to grift. It's time to make your money. Because I'm having trouble. And I. I'm having trouble separating the issue if the people who make money off of anger from the actual angry people, because it. And. And it just becomes one of those things where I stay away. I don't even make commentary because you kind. You know, the Bad Bunny Super Bowl, I thought it was great. I like his music. It brings me. You know, his music feels like an updated version of being, like, in a lobby in San Juan with a band playing. Like, I love it. I. It. It. It's a mood. It's sexy. I. I'm a Bad Bunny fan, and when he got booked for the Super Bowl, I kind of went and did like, my, hey, Spotify, let's do the Bad Bunny night. And I had, like, a week in the car where I'm listening to All Bad Bunnies up. And I am. And. And I'm listening to it going, wow, this is way more Latin than I even knew. Like, I knew he was very popular, but I was like, wow, this is, like, real, like, Puerto Rican music. Like, it wasn't. And it had. I. I'm a fan, so I want to start with that. It does feel like. Because then I watched it and I said, this is a beautiful show. It's art. It's colorful. I. And I'm watching it going, I'm thinking to myself, I know everything here means something. I. But I don't know what it means. And. And that's okay. It's kind of like being at a museum. You look at something and you go, oh, the painting that looks like it could mean this or be, you know? And again, I don't have the art degree to know. I guess it makes it less fun for me because you go, okay, I didn't. It. Because I like to chew on the bone. I like to make fun of things. I like to see something and go, ha, ha. Look at that. That reminds me of this. This reminds me of that. And it does feel like the halftime show has turned into this untouchable thing, because when you started at anyone who gets mad from this, I mean, who getting mad from the halftime show is stupid in itself. Eh? It wasn't for me. I thought it was okay. I. You know, I. I, you know, But I was thinking, like, everything meant something, so you could be put into this headlock if you made fun of it in any way. That isn't fun for me. Like, I don't want to be Mean to someone's culture or not aware. So the super bowl halftime, you know, where you used to be able to look at it. I don't. I don't even know if you used to. But I. I would look at something and go, it's not that big a deal. I'm going to make fun of it. I can like it. While making fun of it turns into this very, like, volatile thing where I do believe it is, in a way, this kind of booby trap for the emotionally, like, affected. Like, if you're someone who's angry at the world, then if I do understand how you look at this and you do feel left out, and I don't think that person. I don't think anyone's driven to anger by the halftime show. I think you were told, this is something you should be angry about, and then you get angry about it and you repeat yourself. This is where I get annoyed. Like, why am I even talking about this? And. But then I just don't believe. And here's where I come back to sounding like old man. Whatever. Where I go. I don't think anyone. Like, if you have no relation to Puerto Rico, if you have no relation to, you know, speaking Spanish, I don't think you could have been like, that was the most amazing thing you've ever seen until you read up on it. And I also don't think you could be that angry. So we land in the middle again. Me with my middle opinion. That is nothing. I. I mean, inside. Here's the first article, and that's my. That's my big dissertation, is that I liked it and it was fun, but I didn't know what the significance of the different things were. And it's like, Marvel Easter eggs inside, bad Buddies, Super Bowl 2026 halftime show, and how Alex Earl landed the cameo. I just. My. My big overall thing is the halftime show has become not fun. I just want to watch a show and it's fun, and we can make fun of it and we can look at it like, and we can make memes from it. And I do feel like if I. I kind of do a little bit of a walk, I step away from it now because, again, if I was at a party and I made fun of the curtains and someone was like. And I made a joke about the curtains. Again, the curtains. I don't know why I just thought that, but I'm looking at curtains. So if I made fun of the curtains and there was a person at the party who was like, you know, those belong to his Dead grandma who knit them from hand. I'd be like, oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that his grandma was a sewer or knitter. I'm sorry. And then I would never speak around that person ever again. And it does feel like the halftime show has been taken over by watchdogs who are going to be like, you know, the casita that they're dancing in represents, like, there's an example. I'll give you an example. I, Ricky Martin was in the halftime show. And I go, wow, Ricky Martin. This is cool. The Ricky Martin brings me back to my, you know, TRL childhood of Living la Vida loca. And I left the halftime show going, why couldn't they have him do Living La Vida loca? Like, look, that's what, that's so halftime. That's so like, look it, we got everybody, we got Puerto Rico in the house. Ricky Martin, the first, you know, another generation of pop stars from Puerto Rico, and you go live and Lavina logo. Even if Ricky Martin did a Bad Bunny rendition, that was more, you know, more classic and more and a different vibe of Living La Vida Loga. I would go, wow, this is awesome. This brings me back the nostalgia mixed with the new and, oh, my God, we're honoring this huge celeb. And then I was like, that's my feedback is like, how could you not have them do Living La Vida Loga? And then I had a friend tell me, they were like, well, the song he sang was all about colonialism and how Puerto Rico shouldn't lose its soul to America. And he went into this whole, like, college level dissertation that I was like, it was basically saying that, like, singing Living La Vida Loco would be like, the opposite of what this was meant to be. Like, this song was meant to be like, no, we don't sing your pop trash that you American pigs want. We sing this song. And I'm like, oh, my God, I would have been such a, an idiot. And I would have gotten in trouble. In trouble, no trouble. But I would have had to, you know, digest this feedback from one miserable who's, like, telling me about how this song is why we didn't sing Living Living Lavita Loca. You're right. I, I, I hope this makes sense because I don't want to be mean to someone. And I also would have thought I've been like, my mind is such a, like, a mom mentality. Oh, it just would have been fun. We like Living La Vida logo. We like Ricky Martin, who looked fantastic. All of the surprises throughout Bad Bunny's apple music super bowl halftime show performances were kept a secret even from the slew of celebrities who joined him on the field. Hospitality mogul David Grutman detailed what it was like to be part of his longtime friend's show at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California on Sunday in an exclusive interview with Paige Dick. So David Grutman owns a bunch of restaurants. He's like, he's like a. Well, he's like a famous guy in his own right. Vibes were amazing, Grutman told us over the phone. And here's the thing. Grutman going on the field to me and being a part of the super bowl halftime show isn't a political statement. Isn't. It's just him going on being like if someone said to me, jared, do you want to go dance in the Super Bowl? You know, during the halftime you just have to like kind of stand there. I'd be like, yes. Immediately, yes. I did a lot of cool things in my life. Obviously this was the top. This was insane. Just the energy and the whole thing. I'm sure. As Bad Bunny yo per pero sola Grutman was seen dancing in the casita alongside a listers like Jessica Alba, Carol G. I don't know Carol G, Pedro Pascal. I saw him dancing Cardi B I saw him. Alex Earl Grutman, who co owns Miami restaurant Gecko with Bad Bunny, shared that he was with the hit maker for so many life changing moments, including when he first got the call to headline the halftime show which is very cool. Again like you know, you make you go hey Ricky Martin, why don't you do living Livia loca? And then it's like hey, that has to do with like a whole history that you have no idea about. And then it's like hey, why is David Grutman here? I thought it would be cool to have my friend there. Like again the stakes are so different. So he thought it was important that I be in the casita. Gretman said that was really sweet of him. Grutman, who explained why Alex Earl was included in the performance, sharing that the TikTok star is the face of Gen Z man I that is quite boy she I thought she was hot chick who went to Miami that we liked watching put on makeup FAS my, what a rise. Bad Bunny wanted to be inclusive of all especially the for the cita. Grman said he wanted to show a little bit of everything and I think having her be the face of Gen Z in so much of America. I Just think it's a great thing. Rutman is producing Earl's upcoming reality TV show with Netflix. Deadline reported earlier this week. So, yeah, soon again. Kim Kardashian is, you know, you know, daughter of OJ Lawyer who had sex with Ray J. And now she's Kim Kardashian. So we all start somewhere. The girl next to Alex Earl is absolutely gorgeous. They show a picture of Alex Earl with Bad Bunny. He also recalled Cardi's energy as they both moved and grooved to the reggaetone music. Cardi was so happy. Grutman gushed. I mean, she's amazing. What a great scene. The Miami restaurateur revealed that he and the other stars in the casino were asked to wear a certain color palette, if possible. If possible. That is crazy. That would be. That would be the most stressful moment of my life. I have been asked to wear, oh, just wear a black tuxedo. And that's what the wedding party's wearing. And I'm like, what do I wear? Should I get it? Where should I get it? Should I. Do I. Is. Is this the same shade as black of everyone else? Can you imagine? They're like, yeah, just put on this palette color, and you're good. I'd be like, it would be all I think about every. And. And then if you don't know the other people in the casita, I'd be like, did I wear the right thing? Do you think this is the same palette? Do you think that I did the right thing? I would. I would immediately hire a spy, a stylist. They just said, listen, if you could be light or gray, but if not, do whatever you want to do. No, I need more direction than that. I. This would be the most stressful day of my life. I can't even do the clothing that they ask for at the rehearsal dinner when they do a theme. Never mind. Yeah, just put on a gray or something. And if you don't wear the right thing, you'll ruin the super bowl halftime performance. Bad Bunny will never forget it. That is stressful. They show him. I mean, everyone kind of did it. I don't know. There's a few people here. Alex Earl and Jessica Albo, blue jeans. I don't know if that was the assignment. Grutman and the group were kept completely in the dark about all the surprises that unfolded throughout the show, including performances by Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, as well as an actual wedding ceremony. I didn't know about any of that stuff. He kept it all. He kept all of it. Every Element. A secret Grupman shared, not noting that, I mean, it was a fabulous production. The production value alone was unbelievable. And again, it is cool to hear what all these things meant. I think the stressful part for me is like, it does feel like it's this trap door to, like, if you don't say you love it, which I would say about nothing. I mean, I would say I enjoyed it, I had a good time, but the idea that I'm watching people, ah, it was the most amazing thing. And I'm like, you have no connection to any of these things. How could you even have gotten this passionate? The Groot Hospitality founder explained that Bad Bunny was extremely involved in the production of the entire performance, which celebrated the Grammy winning artist's Puerto Rican heritage, which is fantastic. He was definitely in charge of the entire his voice. Grutman shared that Bad Buddy's parents were both in the audience to watch their son become the first person in halftime show history to perform the whole set entirely in Spanish. I saw his mom, dad before the show. They were like, the show like when I first got there. They're just so proud. Yeah. Oh, so he said nothing. Okay, we move on. We're sponsored people.

Not to, like, I'm not here to harp, but the super bowl halftime show, it's just, it's getting me annoyed every year. And I hate that. It's really hard to distinguish between people who profit off the anger of the show and the people who are actually angry. And so now I can't even talk about my own feelings. And I mean, this is one. This is like the queen of grifting off of emotional. Like, this is. Bethany Frankel is the queen of grifting off of the emotionally affected. She is going to make rage bait. I saw the beginning of this video and I kept scrolling. I'm a fan of Bethany Frankel. I like what she does. It's, you know, do you have to do this? Because she starts with, this will get me canceled. No, it won't. You're self sufficient. Your video that says this will get me canceled is how you're going to make more money to cover whatever. You're not going to get any. You're not going to lose a dollar. You're going to make money. Bethany Frank. Because this is the article Bethany Frankel weighs in on Bad bunny, Super Bowl 2, 20, 26 halftime show. So she starts it. I saw and I scrolled away. I said, get out of here. This will get me canceled. And it's like, no, it isn't. And you know that you're going to say this. You're saying that to up the ante, to get more people to zone in. It is a To me, this will get me canceled is a. Is the woman who cried wolf. That's a way to get attention. Bethany Frankel applauded Bad Bunny for expressing his experience during the Apple Music super bowl halftime show. So my take on Bad Bunny and his performance at the super bowl is that he is an artist expressing himself, his music and his experience as a Puerto Rican man in America. The Skinny Girl founder said in an Instagram reel Monday. The Real Housewives of New York alum noted that all musicians, from genres like country to hip hop share their experience and culture through their music and performance. Because that's what artistry is. Well, that's what Beth. This is what Bethany's art. Her art is to create a video that she knows makes people equally angry about her topic. That's her art. Bad Buddy is a Puerto Rican man in America on the largest stage in the world, which is very inspirational people, because that is him expressing his experience in his first language. Madonna said it best express yourself. She concluded. However, when Franco posted the same video on Tick Tock, the comment section was filled with users claiming she had originally posted a clip tearing the performance apart. Oh, she didn't put that one on Instagram. That's right. You better walk it back quick. One wrote another while another added, nah, put your original video back up. Oh, we want the original one. Come on, Bethany. Others pointed out that are arguing about Bad Bunny real name Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio. Being a Puerto Rican man in America didn't make much sense since Puerto Rico is in America. Yeah, I agree. What are you talking about? He's a man, I guess a Puerto Rican background in America. I don't know. It's. This is the again. It's like, this is. This is so dumb to me. During his celeb pack performance Sunday, Bad Bunny celebrated several aspects of the Puerto Rican culture, including of Puerto Rican culture, including the dancing, the food and the agriculture. Even Lady Gaga, who delivered a surprise rendition of her and Bruno Mars Die with a Smile, wore the true blue of the Puerto Rican flag. Okay, well, yeah, tell us about Bethany's shitty video. The halftime show which the King of Latin Thirst, the which the King of Latin Trap himself described as a huge party, did receive backlash from other celebs including Chris Brown and Jake Paul. I mean, talk about a murderer's row of asshole. Chris Brown and Jake Paul, they have other things they could be worried about. Brown took to his Instagram stories minutes after the performance concluded and wrote, I think it's safe to say they need me, followed by a winky face emoji. Well, I don't know if that's a. That's kind of self serving. Paul took to X and declared that he wasn't tuning into Bad Buddy's performance and advised his 4.4 million followers not to as well. I saw that Jake Paul and his brother, his brother Logan subsequently tweeted, I love my brother, but I don't agree with this. I mean, again, these are all grifters. These are all people looking for attention, Bethany Frankel included. They want you to get mad so they can pop off their video and make, you know, find New people and get views. It's. I, I mean, this is where I get annoyed. This is. They're as bad as the news stations. I even saw this thing. Everyone's bragging about how the. The ratings. And then someone was like, the ratings haven't even come out yet. I like this story because I just think it's one of those things where we want this to happen more than maybe they do. Alex Earl and Tom Brady's relationship status revealed after cozy Super Bowl 2026 outing. Now, what is the cozy outing? We saw her arm around him on vacation in St. Barts. The nature. I didn't see another picture. The nature of Alex Earl and Tom Brady's relationship has been revealed. An insider told People magazine Monday that Earl, 25, and Brady, 48, are, quote, hooking up. Here's the problem for Tom Brady. Tom Brady has children that are the age where they would look at Alex Earl as like a celebrity figure, that maybe that her videos were. Her videos are coming across their algorithm, I would assume. And now Tom Brady has to, like, answer. And I don't know how cool you think that is as a son that your dad and the girl, like, does that ruin it for the son? Is that a question? But, you know, Brady, Brady doesn't seem to really think about the people around him or how he sounds. Or maybe he thinks of it in a way that I can't even understand. Like, he said he doesn't have a horse in the race when they asked him who's cheering for the Patriots, the Seahawks. And you go, brady, you know that's going to make people in New England mad or feel a certain type of way. There's a way to answer that where you go, okay, you know, he's being political, but, like, isn't that the moment you have to be? Can you imagine you hooking up? I guess you're. If you're a. A teenage guy, you're like, yeah, my dad's hooking up with the hottest woman out there. I don't know. It's awkward. After reigniting romance rumors at a 2026 Super bowl bash in San Francisco, Reps for the duo Word immediately available to page Six for comment. Over the weekend, Earl and the former New England Patriots quarterback sent tongues wagging when they were seen together at a private party. So this is them in December. We saw that picture, but there's no picture proving this. As they swayed to the music, Brady couldn't wiped the noticeably wide smile off his face. They make it seem like Brady was at this party Getting blown by her. This is crazy. Despite the TikTok stars back facing the camera, she adamantly danced along while holding a drink in her hand. Following their rendezvous, the influencer confesses that she didn't go to bed until 6am Maybe Tom Brady's putting this out there. Maybe he wants this out there. We have been the. We have been having the best weekend ever, she said. The party last night, there was this big dance floor. Everyone was dancing. I think it's from her. I don't know what. They both have something to gain. Brady is older guy with younger hot chick. She is with, I would say one of the top 10 celebrities in the world. Do we want to say that? I mean, yeah, I'm sure there's soccer players in there. There's, you know, there's. But like, let's say top 20. She's not top 20. You go, yeah, she's big, but not that, you know, Brady is literally nicknamed the greatest of all time. Go. Despite the lack of sleep, Earl told viewers that she was up. Earl up and ready to watch Super Bowl LX and take part in Bad Bunny's halftime show performance. The Fox Sports lead NFL analyst and Earl started their weekend by Stepp to the Madden bowl on Friday night, though they did not attend the bash together and posed separately on the red carpet. So this is all hearsay. They were also seen at Michael Rubin's fanatic Super bowl party the following day. So they were at the same parties, and now we're hearing maybe they're hooking up. They show. They show her in her outfit at the Madden bowl, and I mean, it's like a school girl outfit. She's wearing exactly what Brady would brag to his friends about the girl he's hooking up with. Wearing is quite an outfit. You know, you go, oh, who, you know? Is Brady hooking up with her? Yeah, he's gonna hook up with her. I'm looking at this picture. It's like she's literally dressed, like, ready for, like, some sort of theme party at a, you know, at the, the. At the, at the Playboy Mansion. In December, Earl split from Houston Texans star Braxton Barrios after nearly two years of dating. She sparked romance rumors with. Yeah, we, we know this story. And also Brady is posting selfies on Instagram stories with, like, kissy face. Like, he's going through it. So what do you do as a man when you go through it? You find woman who dresses like she's going to a theme party at Hugh Hefner's mansion. That's what you do to try and make Gisele Bundchen who's now married with a new kid with the, you know, Giselle, you know, we, we kind of are glossing over. I am the fact that Brady may have been or Brady's ex left him for her trainer, like that is one of those things that makes you go hook up with 25 year old TikTok star that makes every loser dude high five you in the streets. Like I think we need to kind of take a moment to understand that the mental place that Tom Brady's at is exactly where you would be if you wanted to prove yourself to the general public who really doesn't give a shit about you and who you date. He could date anybody. We wouldn't care. We would notice and go, who is she? She's hot. And we'd move on. So this is a form of acting out for Brady in my opinion because who, who would even blame him? Your wife leaves you for her trainer, a jiu jitsu fighter. She leaves you for her, her Mr. Miyagi of sorts to. And you go, I'm the greatest of all time. What are you going to do now? Well, he's going to, he's going to be a little affected. I think that's what's going on here. We're sponsored. If GLP1s are a part of your health plan, check out Brello Health. Brello is metabolic wellness support designed for you.

I I like this because it lets us play a game Travis Kelce gives a subtle nod to Taylor Swift's friend group with latest fashion choice. What nod to her friend group could he be giving? In what world? I mean, to me this is a publicist planted story that Travis Kelce has this subtle nod because it is, you know, what Travis is doing or what his PR team is doing is painting him as the all American boyfriend of your dreams. The boyfriend who takes an interest in your friends and has inside jokes with them that you know about. Oh, he's wearing a pin. That's what the girl group does. Like this is a wet dream for anyone who hopes for a boyfriend that takes an interest in their friends. Which you go, that's not important. No it's not. It is important. Once you go down, once you go down, you know the road like once you start thinking of like. And again like this is what PR does. Little by little, small brushstrokes to get you to have a vision of who someone is. So this is like a little thing. It's just saying he's friends with her friends and that's a little piece of knowledge that you'll take away and you'll go and. And the next time Travis Kelsey got a name come up, you go oh, didn't he do that cute thing for her friends? He's closed with her friends. That's what you're going to remember. Not what he did, but let's see what he did. Travis Kelce is part of the girl squad. Again, what did I just say? He's part of the girl squad. I'm not saying every woman is dreaming of their boyfriend. Like being in their girl squad. But the fact that he's cool with them is important. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end made an appearance on Sister in law Kylie Kelsey's not gonna lie podcast. But he kept his fiance and her friends close. Kelsey kept things casual and lightweight. Wash jeans and layered super luxe electric blue. Guest in residence. Cash cashmere jacket. I think this is an ad for this clothing because it says it's a $895 cashmere jacket. It is a good looking jacket. I like it. I want it. I'm not spending $895 over a gray crew neck sweater by the same brand. Yeah, I like the outfit. This might just be to sell the outfit. He finished off his look with the mm6 Maison Margariella beanie.

Though Travis has never been spotted, has never been spotted in the brand before. Taylor herself has chosen to layer up in the cozy silhouettes. On multiple occasions this past November, she was spotted at a cheesecake. So this is an ad for Gigi Hadid's clothing line. She makes some nice men's clothing. The jeans I like because they're not that loose and that seems to be. I can't wear the loose jeans. I look too much like a. Like a Lego man. I gotta click on this because I'm seeing. I'm seeing articles come up that I didn't see when I did my research before. I like this. One in three college students admit to having done this shocking act during sex. Okay, what do we think? Me?

What do I think the shocking act is that one in Three college students are admitting to. I think it's licking butt. That's the only thing I can think of. But. But licking butt might be a little bit older than college students now. Shocking act. That wouldn't shock me but it might shock a New York Post reader. Maybe they're One in three college students admit to having done this shocking act during sex. What do we think? Licking butt is my first again. But that's not that shocking. That's part of the whole deal. We're all licking butt. It. Let's see what they're doing. They're phoning it in.
