You're a nosy. You want the full sitch? Come to Pop Culture Thursday. Hello and welcome to J Train Podcast. This is J Train. Jared Freed coming you live from Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia. That's right. Every Thursday is a Pop Culture Thursday. I go to Page Six, I click on some juicy headlines and then we read the story and I give some context and opinions. I want to thank you for being part of this podcast. Thank you for listening. Thank you for enjoying this show. I love doing it. It's cool to do it from the road. It's cool to, you know, I woke up this morning early. It's Thursday morning here. It's probably considering the listenership of this program. It's probably Wednesday evening for you. I'm going to go through some pop culture stories. But I, I, I'll go through I traveled yesterday from Auckland, New Zealand to Melbourne and I'm going to go through all of that on Patreon patreon.com Jared Freed to hear Coffee with J Train, which will be the more personal side of what's going on in this trip. If you're out there in Melbourne, if you're listening now, I got a show Friday night. There's tickets available. Sydney. I added a second show that Sunday, Adelaid Newcastle. So the, the, the beat goes on here for shows. Would love to have you at the shows. Auckland was fantastic. Can't thank everyone enough who came. And let's get into it, let's just get into this show because, you know, these are I have one ad that we'll do at some point, but I just, you know, I opened up Page Six. There's not a lot there today. There's one major story. I'm kind of waiting to get to that story. It's sad. I want to open up with something just like it's just so Page Six. And I think I wouldn't be surprised to find out the Page Six. The New York Post has somehow invested in the Kelsey Brothers Podcast network because they report on the smallest of stories. I the one I didn't click on was that Travis was wearing an outfit he wore on a date with with Taylor. That was an actual article. I now that I'm referencing it, I should have just clicked on it. But like there's an actual article like you click on. Travis is an outfit repeater with a because he's wearing something that they took a picture of him in a date with Taylor Swift. I it's either that's how big Taylor Swift is, which yes, she is, or Page Six has Made an investment in this network to promote because these are just promotions of their podcast. And here's another headline that it's just. They're just the. The best. The Page Six is click bait professionals. They're clickbait professional. Pregnant Kylie Kelsey. So that is not Travis. That's the other one's wife, Jason. My brain is like stale right now. Jason Kelsey's wife. Pregnant. Pregnant Kylie Kelsey is vehemently. Vehemently. And they put it in quotes. Vehemently. Am I even. That's a word. The more you say, the more it gets away from you. V. Hypnotism. V. Hipman. Vehemently. Now I think I'm saying it wrong. Pregnant cavalcy. Now I gotta, like, roll into it. Pregnant Kelly. Pregnant Kylie Kelsey. That is. This is a tongue twister. Pregnant Kylie Kelsey is vehemently against this parenting trend. It's not happening. Anytime you have a headline about a woman who's against a parenting trend, you're clicking. Now add in a Kelsey, brother, wife. Add in Taylor Swift that. Now this is as if this article, this. This headline is as if it's saying Taylor Swift's best friend hates how your mother parents. That is what the. Because nothing gets people enraged. People being moms about other moms judging their parenting. You know, how they're parenting. And this parenting trend means a lot of people are doing it. So it's like this headline is basically saying, get ready to be fucking angry. She's not following trends. Kylie Kelsey says, I don't know what the trend is. By the way. I didn't prep. I mean, I prep. I don't do anything to start taping the show. No, I'm saying, like, I click. I think it's fun to click the headline because I saw that headline. I go, oh, there's gonna be like, even before click. Like it is just moms are going to be running to this going, please disagree with how I parent. I will kill you. Kylie Kelsey said she is vehemently against a certain parenting trend. They're even teasing it in the article. When it comes to raising her daughters with husband Jason Kelsey. I'm vehemently against the idea of other kids getting birthday presents on a child's birthday. Whoa, Kylie. Whoa. Oh, no. You're gonna. Whoa. The hot take machine is burning. Oh, my God. Talk about a nothing quote. I am vehemently against giving birthday presents to the other kids on the kid's birthday. And you know what? Here's the thing. I know I'm making fun of, like how not a Hot Take this this take is how how nothing this take is and listen I'm doing a podcast about her podcast so who am I to talk shit? I people are listening to this show by the way I mean to her show. I I listen do I think this is more entertaining than her show? Yes, yes. I I'll pat myself on the back I'll be a little cocky. I well oh, I am against I will not be giving my other daughter's presents when it's my daughter's birthday. And here's the thing, this will piss off a mom. There is a mom out there who gives all the kids presents on a birthday and she feels judged I and I don't blame her I I'm not taking away her I think Kylie, I do I agree with Kylie's method. I would say yeah if I am I a person with no kids who let's say 10 years from now I have a 10 year old and an 8 year old and the 8 year old won't shut the fuck up if the 10 year old gets a present. Maybe I change my mind if I have a headache. I'm a little hungover. Yeah here, here's your present too. And then the 10 year old's a little bit more agreeable. So I look at the 10 year old and I go, I go listen, just kind of level with me here. I'm hungover. Let this other kid have their beanie baby so that we can move on with your birthday and have a good time. Like I I the negotiation. Yeah I probably well so I guess I don't agree with I just played out a whole fatherhood I might have lost my mind. I don't know that I I'm, I'm saying this is a judgmental statement. There is a mom out there who gives kids who now I could see that mom going oh, you think I'm like I can't handle my kids because I I spoil them. This could go in so many I love this story. Like if someone wrote in about this to Jay Train the mailbag Monday, I would love this email. Kylie who shares daughters Wyatt, 5 Elliott, 3 and Bennett, 2. So that's the ages that one would feel less than for not getting a gift with former NFL star said on her not gonna lie, she ain't lying podcast on February 20th, right around my birthday. Our family knows no one else is receiving a birthday present for Bennett's birthday. Everyone gets a special day. People are listening to this. Kylie, who is currently pregnant with the couple's fourth daughter, said gifts should only be given to the person who is celebrating their special day. When your siblings get presents for your birthday, it reduces your birthday. It's not their birthday, it's your birthday. She continued. What is this? Ms. Rachel's podcast. What is this? I people listen to this and I listen. I get it. You're a mom out there and you want to, like, hear other mom. You know, how's another mom doing it? This is the same as a dating podcast. I under. Listen. I. I'm. I've been in this world long enough. I understand. You know, just seeing how quietly listening to someone else while you get to sit with your headphones on, it does feel like you're seen. It does feel like, okay, well, maybe I will think of how I do my presence. I think it teaches them to agree that the. That just because someone's getting presents doesn't mean you get presents. It feels very participation trophy esque. Oh, she's. She's getting political and not happening. Kylie, 32, also said she wasn't keen on throwing over the top parties for babies. I'm not a big fan of big birthdays for babies, she shared on her podcast. I feel like it's just making more work for ourselves. I would much rather get a cake and give them a piece and then just let them go on in on it, which is exactly what we've done. Yeah, I think. Listen, I don't know. I don't know. When the kid starts to, like, I always ask it of my friends. I'm like, do they know what's going? Yeah, I ask around Halloween. I'm always like, are the kids, like, into Halloween? Are they not into Halloween? You know, like, you kind of like, ask that. And they show pictures of the kids. So the former hockey player said she and Jason have decorated or purchased cakes catered to specifications of the birthday girl for their kids. Yeah, listen, this whole article is Kylie saying, we don't spoil our kids. This is. This is her. And this is as much. This is what people do. They speak. You know, it is a little bit. It's. I think I should give it. I had a name for it before. It was like, poor flexing or it's relatable flex. Like, this is her being like, you know, basically saying, I'm no Kim Kardashian. Like, oh, we don't do that with our kids. So let's go. There was another. I mean, to get into more podcast promotion. Tori Spelling. I also think Page Six is invested in Tori Spelling her podcast because they report on her podcast or her PR person is the same as the Kelsey Brothers PR person. Tori Spelling defends cute photo of Sun Beau seven giving her a massage for allowance money. Don't need people shaming me. Okay? If you took a picture of a seven year old kid like giving her his mom a massage and like it made it into like a thing, like you're kind of a disgusting piece of shit. I agree with Tory, but like who she, who are we giving the microphone to? That's what I. When we talk about commenters, when commenters are talked about on a podcast, you go, are we giving the microphone to a rational point of view or are we giving it to the craziest person we would, you know, switch sides of the streets because of. Tori Spelling defended posting a photo of her 7 year old son giving her a massage in exchange for money after being mom shamed online. So on my Instagram stories recently I posted what I thought was a very cute photo. This is her podcast. This is, this is a podcast people listen to. And I'm repeating it. So again, I. Who am I? I posted what I thought was a very cute photo of my 7 year old son Beau, pretending to. Pretending being the keyword here. Pretending to give me a massage. Also, there's such a thing as a massage therapist. Like this is a career people have. This is something people get trained for. The idea that like and, and also men give women massages. I'm talking about her seven year old kid. I'm just saying like who could ever. I need to see the picture. But I, I don't know. Who could ever like turn this into something bad or gross or evil Spelling began on Tuesday's episode of her misspelling podcast. Again, these are all promos for her podcast. And then I said, and then I said he wanted to make money for an allowance and I thought this was a good way to start. She continued. It beats chores, something like that. I don't know. Solid plan. In the photo posted earlier this month, The Beverly Hills 90210 actress and and daughter of creator of 90210 was seen lying face down on a massage table with her back and legs bare. Okay, so now I'm looking at the picture. Yes, she is naked. As if. But. And then here's the picture. But. And then the captioner both said he wanted to do chores in exchange for an allowance. Solid plan. So she's reusing the solid plan. This isn't her in her sweats with like the kid on her back. This is her like literally on a Massage table, naked with a blanket over her as her son rubs her eyes. I'm not commenting, but I'm also going, oh, okay. I guess that's how that house works. A pink blanket was placed on her backside as her son massaged her calves. The caption both said he wore it. Okay. However, Spelling clarified that it was just a joke after receiving black backlash. I mean, it's just a weird picture. It's just a weird. If my mom was getting a massage, I'm not in the room. I'm not. I. And again, I don't know what a seven year old knows or doesn't know, but it's a. Let's. I think it's weird to, to post the picture. Who took the picture? Because it's not like a selfie all of a sudden. Exploded on. On the press scene. She continued. Tuesday, Spelling denied reports that she forced Beau to do anything. Explaining that that's not a. It's the, the opinion. If you're gonna have any opinion on the pictures. That's a little weird that, you know, I. It's not a massage on a big comfy couch with her blankets all over her and they're in like seven layers. She's naked as if she's doing a couple's massage in St. Martin. Like that's, that's the, the more I was on Tori's side until I saw the picture. Because the picture is bizarre. You got to find it. I mean, Spelling denied reports that she forced both. That's not the weird part. If you forced your kid. I don't think we're getting into child labor laws. We're getting into your. On a massage table as if this is your honeymoon in Malaysia and you're in one of those huts that are above the ocean and you have a 7 year old who's touching your calf. And that's the weird part. Explaining that he accompanied her to the massage parlor and then asked if he could give it a go. Is that what he said? Can I give it a go? Do you mind if I get my hands a little dirty here? This little seven year old. So the massage therapist took that one picture of Beau pretending to give me the massage. I. Okay, yeah, this is it. The story makes it. Now I'm floating back to Tori. She said, I and I just think it's wild. It's wild the stuff that you could put out there that they changed the narrative on so hardcore. While Spelling wasn't expecting such a negative response. It's just a weird picture. She admitted one of her Friends warned her the the photo might not be received well. When your friend says, that's your friend going, it's a weird picture. Why don't you know again, funny picture to show your husband. Hey, look at Bo wanted to get involved with the massage and then we took a picture. It's like, you look at it. Doesn't he look like he's the massage therapist and a little weird to put out there? I mean, as soon as I put it up, one of my best guy friends, he DM me and was like, that's not a good look. So that's a little bit more than she recalled. And I'm like, wow. And I'm like, I know. I like joking. Well, your joke. Here's the thing. I tell jokes all the time. Sometimes you tell a joke and it gets the reaction you don't like. I don't go, I'm joking. They go, I know you're joking. We know you're really your son. Beau isn't a seven year old massage therapist. We thought this was for real. We thought you were showing us you did a mommy son work day. I'm joking. I, I'm not mad at Tori. I'm mad at the listeners of that podcast. I, I have to say, we're sponsored. Speaking of, you know, you know, cashing your checks, I mean, like, Tori, do you need the money? Do you need to do a podcast? Can't you go to brunch with your friends? Staying on track for every single meal is exhausting. That's why there's every plate. I'm a huge fan of every plate because every plate is the value meal kit value, meaning you're gonna get more for your bucks. And their whole bend right now is about being healthy. Let me tell you what they have. They send ingredients straight to your door with easy recipes, whip it up in no time. New for 2025, they have calorie smart, carb smart and protein smart options so you can streamline your goals with their new smart swap recipes. You can even swap out items for healthier alternatives, like getting lettuce wraps instead of tortillas or sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes. Here's what I love about every plate. Every plate. It's gonna help you with your mental health. That's a strong statement on an ad, I'm telling you, because when you put these meal kits together, you get done. You get to compare it to the picture. It is satisfying to your brain. It scratches an itch. It does for me. Also portion size. When you're shopping for One or two. It's really hard to get the right amount. What you end up doing is either wasting the food or eating too much, which wasting money or putting on weight. Like those are the two options. Both things you don't want to do and then creativity. They're going to send you different. They're going to send you cal. They're going to send you different recipes. I'm looking for the word recipe. That's how shot my brain is. The different recipes. Here's the thing. You will stay eating healthier longer if it's creative and you don't have a lot of options on your own. You got grilled chicken and salmon. Maybe you'll do a salad, maybe you'll go to a salad place. But then you start to go, oh, I'm down. I've done this over and over again. Now I just want to eat something great. And. And it's like that's what every plate does. It has great options that are going to be the right portion, the right calories so you can hit your goals. It says every plate makes your schedule lighter and your health goals easier to reach. And also like that is something, you know, my mom and dad every morning what are we going to do for dinner tonight? It takes away that discussion. There's no, you know, oh, I got the every plate.

I guess we've been on a podcast heavy news bend for this episode I do want to talk about I saw and I just because I think I could add maybe some insider. Not insider but like I am a podcaster. I'm doing this in Melbourne. Dave Portnoy Issues issues Shady response to Alex Cooper's media company dropping Alex Earl's hot mess podcast. So they this is the article that I I don't know again, this is what Page Six does. You're now you have three famous names in one headline. Shady response to Alex Cooper's media company because they people want to make them into this. Like I don't know. I'm not hot on the barstool news and gossip of the day. I'm not hot on the caller daddy news and gossip of the day but I know that people want to pit them against each other because, you know, she used to be at his company, now she's done very well. And he's this, you know, brash person that people like to take down. So. Dave Portney. Portnoy has entered the chat. The Barstool Sports creator issued a shady statement via Instagram after news broke that Alex Cooper's media company had dropped Alex Earl's hot Mess podcast. Portnoy, 47, trolled his followers on Tuesday with a Screenshot of a 22 minute phone call between himself and a contact on his phone listed as Alex Earl knew. Oh, so he's basically saying he's going to pick her up on his network to kind of get back at Alex Cooper. He set up the. He set up the upload to the circle of life in his caption port and he wrote, you can stop tagging me. I know what needs to be done. The statement, notably, is exactly what Cooper posted to TikTok after Grace O'Malley left Barstool Sports last year. Oh, so because Alex Cooper picked up Grace O'Malley. Portnoy, however, shared an update hours later, clarifying that he didn't call at earl24min herd cooper. Escalating feud rumors. See, I didn't see this as a feud. I just thought it was funny. He explained. Yeah, I guess if you're inside knowledge of the whole thing, considering she did that to him with the Grace O'Malley thing, this all makes sense. Here was what I was going to say as far as, like, I saw people being like, you know, you see all these TikToks about like, why would she leave? I think the economy has changed. I think Alex Earl probably makes le. You know, when you go and be at someone's network, you have to split money with the network. Someone probably came, their contract probably ran up. And I just know the economy of podcasting. When I the J Train podcast, I do this on my own. I'm very, you know, I tried to do a studio. It was costing a lot of money. I went to kind of this bootstrap version that feels very comfortable for me. I do like taping here with just a microphone, just talking directly to you. This feels like a very comfortable thing for me. But it also, there's economics that go with it. I think for Alex Earl. To me, what I think happened without knowing anything is contract ran up. Her people went to Alex Cooper and was like, we have found other places where we can make more money. Alex Cooper, you know, for her network. I'm sure the numbers are different than they were when she first started, you know, as is everybody's numbers, you know, as far as the ads are concerned for these podcasts, they've gone down from a year ago, two years ago, you know, and the market's different. Even, you know, Baches is selling ads differently. Like, we've had to kind of go over, like, how do we. You know, there's a difference in how they're going to go about, like, looking for sponsors and partners. So, again, the. The media landscape changes every day. So everyone's doing this because it's two beautiful women, you know, who are in business together. They try to turn it into this, like, which is I. I do think is, like, not a nice thing to do to women, but it does feel like a lot of the TikToks are like, ooh, it's a cat fight. And you're like, no, this is Alex Earl, who has agents and, you know, people that work with her, and they're saying, hey, you could make X, you're making Y. Let's get out of here. And you'll end up having, you know, a kiss and makeup episode on Call Her Daddy at some point down the road, and maybe not. I mean, it depends on how Alex Cooper looks at things. She might say, oh, now I'm losing money because you're leaving my network. I don't think that's the case. I think she can hire someone else. I. You know, the way I saw their. Their, like, coming together was like, Alex Cooper was trying to do the more serious interviews, and she was leaving off the relationship and sex talk to the younger woman. I don't know if that's what ended up happening. I don't know if Alex Cooper has or. What is it Alex Earl? I don't think. I don't know if she has much to say or is that fun to try to listen to. So, to me, this is an economic story. And I know, you know, Portnoy gets involved because he goes, oh, shit. Like, I have a chance to. To make a joke that I know will go viral. And I get the dopamine hit, too. Interesting, though. Here's another headline. I just think this is. It was a slow news day because. And we'll get to the big story. And that's Michelle Trachtenberg. Michelle Trachtenberg, Gossip Girl. And Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I would also say star of Harriet the Spy. Actress dead at 39. I didn't realize we were the same age. She has been a actress that I've watched my whole life. A Child Star. This was like the top three or four headlines. I mean, if we want to go to the top headlines on. On page six, it was all about Michelle Trachtenberg. And. And for good reason. She. She has an amazing career as an actress. I mean, I went and googled Euro Trip, Ice Princess, Gossip Girl, Buffy the Slam, The Vampire Slayer, 17 Again, Harriet the Spy. But then you go and look at other stuff. Like she was in cop out in 2010 with, you know, she's been working, working. And, And I mean, look at even TV series. She did voiceover. She really did it all. She was a truly an actress because they show a bunch of like, you know, she's in a law. She's in Law and Order episodes. She's in just house from 2000. She was in House. Inspector Gadget. She does. I mean, I'm sure she had her height at a certain point and. But I, you know, talk about an evolving actress, an evolving actor who worked and worked and worked. But I. So sad. Actress Michelle Trachtenberg has died. As sources told the Post Wednesday. She was 39. And I saw someone posted like a picture of her young. And I was like. And I was like. And the young person didn't match with the name. Like, and then I was like, oh, who? She's passed what? And then you see Harry the Spy star was found dead Wednesday morning after going to cardiac arrest in her New York City apartment near Columbus Circle. The Post confirmed the New York. This is very sad. And then you see pictures of her now and you do start to wonder. You go, what happened? 39. Something's off. And you. And then you go, child star. And then you think of drugs and you think of alcohol and you think of how different that life is, and you just don't know. And your brain goes in all these directions. And what sucks is because then there's another article and the headline is, Michelle Trachtenberg fired back at fan concerns over her health before her tragic death. And it's like. And I was like, man, you know, how many days ago was this? And Michelle Trachtenberg fired back at fans who were worried about her health one year before her tragic death. So, like, this is kind of one of those. I mean, again, this is where Page Six makes its money. They go, oh, okay, so maybe they report on this a year ago. They go to their, like, you know, they go to their, you know, their own search bar and they go, Michelle Trachtenberg. And they go, oh, she. Fans thought she looked sick a year ago. And now we're going to report. Re report on it. And it's like. Which is bad form. I don't like that. There's two things I don't like. The first is that, you know, one is that she passed. It's very sad. It's also like it's hitting the nostalgia part of your brain. I'm sure a lot of people are going to want to click on stories like this, but in January, January 2024, the Gossip Girl star posted a selfie with Spy Kids star Alexa Pena Vega after a fun day at the hair salon. However, her comments section was flooded with fans voicing their concerns for the actress claiming she looked thin and sick. Explain to me how I look sick. The actress responded to one commenter Like a man. Here's two things I don't like. One, the commenter if you told your daughter or sister or brother or son you look thin and sick in those plain terms, they wouldn't listen to you. They wouldn't take the feedback. What makes you think that you commenting on someone's post is going to like, do any different? The music just came on on my, I don't know, it's like an ad. I just don't understand, like, what? And again, this will go back to something I talked about on Monday's mailbag. Ticked off Tuesday when I talked about my mom being like, you ate all that. And it's like, what was the goal here? What did you think? What am I gonna do now? Like the commenter I don't know. And I see this all the time. You hold the camera too close to your face, you go, just leave. Just don't do this. This is an opt out situation. Nobody's for. There's a lot of stations. And then I also for the commenter, man, I'm gonna, I'm never gonna be. This podcast is never gonna get big because I just disagreed with the commenter and now I feel bad for the commenter. I am as middle of the road as it gets. I am not a hot take person. I need to find my inner Kylie Kelsey and start, you know, start talking shit about moms giving gifts to the other kids. You trophy participation. Trophy moms. No, I'm just saying because now they're reporting back on this picture and people and, and garbage. People who want to feel good about themselves are going to go to this picture and just start slamming this commenter who to me is a crazy person, but also where they're going to get blamed for the, the death of Michelle Tract. I don't know. I, it all is a mess. And I'm looking at the picture. Yeah, I mean, it's a picture that, again, a normal person quietly goes, I hope she's okay. However, on Wednesday, sources confirmed to the Post that Trachtenberg had died. She was 39. Trachtenberg's mother found her unconscious, unresponsive, in her apartment near Columbus Circle. So this is like, you know, the reason. Why does New York Post report on this. She's a New York City woman. Like, this is a New York City actress. She is a part of New York City. Like, she's living in Columbus Circle. She's been on Gossip Girl, which is really an iconic New York show. She was the actress who died from natural causes, sources added. But her official cause of death is yet to be revealed. We also learned that she recently underwent a liver transplant. Well, that's got to be a big part of the story. Her death is not being investigated. Suspicious. The liver transplant, they put that in the end. This is where Page Six. I laugh because it's not. You know, the commenters said she looked thin. No, she had a liver transplant. That's a pretty serious surgery. We move on. I do every Bill Belichick who used to coach the Patriots during the time when I was, like, a huge Patriots fan. Any story with him and Tom Brady I'm going to click on. And they all just. It is. It is like, your dad got divorced and now he likes to party. Because for both of them. Bill Belichick, 72, snuggled up to girlfriend Jordan Hudson, 23, in date night selfie. Birds of a feather. I mean, it could be the. The headline could be, bill Belichick snuggles up with his girlfriend in a date night selfie. No, no, no. They're going to go, Bill Belichick, 72. In case you don't know, like, they made this clickable to anyone. You know, you could go, who the Bill Belichick, 72, snuggles up to girlfriend Jordan Hudson? Who The Jordan Hudson, 23. I'm clicking. You're in. It's date night for Bill Belichick and his girlfriend Jordan Hudson taking to her Instagram story. So they basically. Her Instagram story. And she knows this is being watched by, like, every news outlet, and she knows that every picture she posts with Bill Belichick is a story because it is inflammatory. You. You know, she. I can't believe she's 23. He's 72. The 23. If you think about it, like, re. Realistically, you know, like, even 72. 52. Like, if he had a if he had her at 47, you go, wow, it's an old age to have a kid like Shared a pic that showed her in the former New England Patriots head coach all dressed up as they snapped a selfie during a night out. In the photo, Bill Belichick, 72, wore a dark blue suit paired with a lighter blue dress shirt and tie. He looks like he's at her college graduation, and it's tough to not mean they show them. And then she captioned it Birds of a feather I their every date they go on is just interesting. I mean, they were in a commercial together. Birds of a feather, she wrote atop the photo alongside a white heart and an image of the two swans.
