That's right. Every Thursday is a Pop Culture Thursday. I go to page 6. I choose articles based on the headlines, and then we read them them together. We read through them together, and I give you a little bit of my opinion. What comes to mind. It is really the ultimate brain on the shelf podcast episode. This is to let you melt. I want you to ooze, baby. Okay? Let Papa JT take the wheel. I have eight stories in front of me that seemed interesting to me the first one. There's also one ad this episode.

As recommended by, you know, their chefs and nutritionists that they work with. And here's the other thing. Creativity. You're not going to be. When you're trying to be healthy, the thing that gets you off track is boring. You're bored.

Tomorrow I'll go into the Sasha Baron Cohen interaction, which is also on YouTube. I'll get a little bit more full with that story. I'm going to talk about my flight back from Alpharetta. The shows in Alpharetta. It's, it's a storytelling podcast and the, the feedback on it is amazing. Plus you get first dibs on ticked off Tuesday. Otherwise, I'm going to New Zealand on Friday. Tomorrow. Tomorrow is my 40th birthday. I'm going to New Zealand. I have a, I guess that's probably going to be coffee with J Train tomorrow. The mix of emotions of turning 40 and that trip and I got a lot kind of tossing around in my, in my head on that. So I'm going to start. So let's get into the stories. Blake Lively, this Blake Lively Justin Baldoni story, we might be reading headlines about it. We might be hearing about this for the next decade. I think this is, honestly, this might be like the new Cold War. Like, I, I mean, because this article title is, in my opinion, produced by a PR person. We are in a PR war because I stepped away from this story. It was fun until it wasn't. And then it became fun again. Let me explain. It was fun because you had this, like, on set drama. You had two people, two stars. I wouldn't call Justin Baldoni a star. Like, I didn't know who he was. Blake Lively, you have a star, Blake Lively, who the rumor was, wasn't really, you know, well liked. Okay. And then you have this guy who gets in an argument with her and then they're on this movie where it's about sensitive topics and he's handling it well. And she doesn't seem to be handling it. She seems to be handling it in a different way. That's a little bit weird. And then that's when it's fun. And then you get a sexual harassment accusation. You go to the courts. And that's not fun for me anymore. I'm gonna step away. I think that's most people. And that's what happens with kind of Internet arguments. Like, when someone's, like, trying to defend their joke about a subject. Like, this happens a lot. And it's something I deal with. You know, if you do a joke about a sensitive subject, the people who are sensitive to it are going to feel however they feel. And very few people are in the business of defending, you know, sensitive joke topic, whatever that may be, especially when it gets specific. If someone on the side who has dealt with the sensitive subject says that they're mad because it's just like, ugh, what are we going to do? And I think that's kind of what's happening, you know, with the Blake Lively thing. She went. She went to sensitive topics. She goes, no, this is a real thing. I am going to the courts. And then I've watched, like, all these tiktoks of these people that are, like, going through all the court documents because Justin Baldoni says all of this is wrong. I'm coming back at you. He didn't settle, which is normally what would happen. I would assume he just disappears off the planet. And now we're in this. Now it gets fun again because he's saying, I. No, no, no. I have. I have text to show you. I have. I have a claim. And now we' to the PR war. Now we're back to. And no one is letting up. Even, you know, Ryan Reynolds is doing a bit at the SNL50 thing. And you see Ryan Reynolds is probably, like, petitioning to do a bit, and he even makes fun of it. You have Tiffany. Tiffany. Tiffany Faye, Tiffany Fate. You have. How am I Tina Fey? Am I a stupid idiot? You have Tina Fey on stage with Amy Poehler, and then they take questions from celebrities, and he goes, ryan Reynolds stands up and they're like, how are you? He's like, have you heard anything? And he's like, he's obviously referencing this story. So this is my ramble of letting us. Now we're back into this, like, PR war. And I do believe this is a. This is Page Six is amazing. This is a PR war. Because this headline is trying to wrangle the mom vote for, in my opinion, for Blake Lively. Blake. Blake Lively claims her children are traumatized by Justin Baldoni drama. She struggles to leave home. And it's under the. You know, the section, which. I didn't even know Page Six had a section for this. It just says, Parents. So it says parents. So this is like, as if you would open up, you know, the. The post to the parent section, and this would be the front page. Nose under parents. As if, oh, I like to read the sports section. I like to read the lifestyle section. Then, you know, every few days, I'll delve into the parents section. Like, this is crazy. So this is Blake Lively, in my opinion, saying, okay, let's let them know that my kids. It's affecting the children, okay? This monster. Blake Lively's four kids have allegedly felt the effects. When I read that headline, I eye roll. But I'm not a mom. I'm not even a dad. So I don't even know what a mom or dad would feel to me. I'm like, how could that work on anyone? The kids feel traumatized by Justin Bald. I don't. Blake Lively's four kids have allegedly felt the effect of her and Justin Baldoni's ongoing drama. The little ones are allegedly traumatized, the actress claimed in her amended complaint filed in New York federal court. So she's going back to the courts. The court document obtained by Page Six went on to say that James, 10, Inez, 8, Betty, 5, Olin, 2, have been emotionally uprooted in ways that have substantially impacted their well being. That's like a complaint that, like, if I heard, if I was a teacher, I'd be like, what? The legal filing? I mean, you're filing it. Explain that. Lively's husband, Ryan Reynolds, has also been affected mentally, physically, and professionally by his wife's and children's pain. According to the complaint, the Gossip Girl alum, 37, struggled to get out of bed some days. She frequently chooses not to venture outside in public, the court document claim. While she has fought to maintain her personal life and business interests behind closed doors, she has suffered from grief, fear, trauma, and extreme anxiety. I mean, you know, this is the thing. If she is proven right in court that she was sexually harassed and harassed on set, this goes into that, like, holy. Like, you've ruined my life. If she's found not. This is all found to be not. You know, to. If they. If they govern. If they go Justin Baldoni's side, you go, yeah, I. You know, listen, we couldn't find what you were saying happened. Additionally, Lively has experienced repeated and painful physical symptoms. These details were originally shared with. When Lively filed her lawsuit against Baldoni, 41 in December 2024, she initially accused him of sexual harassment and attempting to destroy a reputation. In a complaint to the California civil rights department nearly two weeks Prior Tuesday's amended complaint notably alleges that the actor made other women uncomfortable in that. And it ends with a set. Baldoni's lawyer has yet to respond to Page Six requests for comment. The Jane the Virgin alum took his own legal action against Lively and Reynolds in January, suing the couple for. For $400 million. Like that is a crazy amount. Lively's attorney referred to this as another chapter in the. In the abuser playbook. I mean, the language. I. I might back away again. I'm out. Which Baldoni's lawyer deemed preposterous. Reynolds, 48, has not spoken publicly about the illegal battle, but did make light of it. This is the problem during the Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary special over the weekend, when Tina Fey and Amy Poehler asked the Free Guy star how the Free Guy star was doing during Saturday's show, he replied, great. Why? What have you heard? And it's like, that's where you hear a story like this. You're saying that Ryan Reynolds is also feeling sick and emotional turmoil, but he's on stage. I just don't know. On a. Literally, one of the more viral clips from the night, Reynolds was all smiles, posing with Lively on the red carpet ahead of the event, with a body language expert telling us his wife showed confidence and defiance despite seeming nervous. The couple have been married since 2012 and started growing their family two years later. Baldoni, for his part, shares daughter Maya, 9, and son Maxwell, 7, with his wife, Emily Beldoni. I don't know why they have to mention his kids. Right? I. I guess. Wouldn't his kids feel similar? I don't know. It's a mess. It's an absolute mess. Tori Spelling spent $451 on Denise Richards OnlyFans, but her business manager thought it was Dean McDermott. I guess that to me, your business manager is like, this guy is a creep. And I. You must be trying to look at other chicks. I mean, Tori Spelling. I mean, this is, I'm gonna assume, an ad for Tori Spelling's podcast. Who. I hate that it makes me angry that Tori Spelling has a podcast. Because you go, in my mind, I'm sitting here in my shoebox taping this pop culture Thursday, you know, and. And Tori Spelling once a week in her mega, mega mansion, you know, partly paid for by Aaron Spelling, the creator of, like, every show of the 90s that he put his daughter in Tori's. And now she has to have a podcast. We gotta. Couldn't you be a guest on here? I'll have you on Tori. We'll give you a monthly correspondence role. I'll ask you if these stories are true or if it's Page Six. Tori Spelling made a shocking confession about how much she spent on Denise Richards OnlyFans account and why her then husband, Dean McDermott also got blamed for the charges. So I went on to OnlyFans and there's beautiful pictures of her. I subscribed and at the time I didn't know how it worked. What do you she said on her misspelling podcast Monday. So this is her PR person who she has on retainer who she spends at a minimum ten grand a month on going to Page Six and going I got a hot one for you. I got a. I got a. I got it. I have a. I have a headline that Jared Freed is going to open for his pop culture Thursday and promote our podcast. You know I'm promoting our podcast the Scary Movie Actress. That is not how I would describe Tori Spelling, 51, and McDermott, 58, were still together at the time and preparing to enjoy Christmas dinner with their kids when OnlyFans came up. During their discussion, it was Christmas, Christmas dinner. Let's talk about only fans. The kids are there. What, what, what's going on in this family. Spelling said she defended the subscription based social platform since she knows many people including Richards who had joined it. Does Richards need the money? I guess to me Denise Richards needs the money more than Tori Spelling. I mean Tori Spelling is, is, is generationally rich but Denise, you know she had a great career had she then subscribed to the Wild Thing Stars. I would describe Denise Richards as a wild as the Wild Thing Stars only fan account to prove her point and to Support her friend OnlyFans. They are brilliant because they let let me tell you, they get you hooked. She quipped. Yeah, I would say the getting to see someone in pictures they wouldn't share with the general public. Yeah, that is something to be that would get you hooked because it alludes to the fact that if you subscribe and pay a fee, you'll get something special from Denise. So I wait. I waited and waited. So wait a minute. Denise doesn't put anything on her only fans. The mama five said she messaged Richard's 54 thinking they were going to be like her actual DMS and that the model would get right back to her. Is Tori Spelling not well? How about you text her? How about you go through the agents later that even or go on DM on Instagram later that why why would you dm through Only Fans. Later that evening, Spelling said she received a message from Richards that included an option to pay for additional content, which the Beverly Hills 90210 alum decided to purchase. The following day, Spelling said her business manager contacted her about the charges. Hey, are you trying to see Denise Richards naked? What's going on with you? Long story short, my business manager calls me and she goes, I don't know how to put this. And I was like, what's happening? She recalled. And she's like, I think Dean is on OnlyFans looking at girls. What a snitch of a business manager. Why is it Dean, the storytelling author, she has a book out in case you want to give her more money. She goes, yeah, I'm so sorry, I don't want to. I don't know what to tell you. And I go, how much was spent? She was like 451.28. And I go, yeah. Spelling, who split from McDermott in June 2023, told her business manager, I don't know what happened. I spent all the money. Richards launched her Only fans account. Yeah, what is she putting there? In June 2022, a week after her ex husband, Charlie Sheen criticized their then 18 year old daughter, Sammy Sheen for making an account. Oh, this was an act of sisterhood. The Backlash Sammy, now 20 faced inspired the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills 11 to learn more about the platform and create an Only fans account of her own. Ah, this makes me like Denise. I'm a Denise fan. Good for her. She went to bat for her daughter. I mean, she's still charging people. I mean, Tori, Tori's waiting for her to put up a couple pictures. Jason Kelsey breaks down Taylor Swift's staggering impact on brother Travis. He's growing up. This is the most bullshit headline of all. Bullshit headlines. Let me tell you. Here's the headline. I mean, Jason Kelsey, another promotion for a podcast that I'm helping promote. Jason Kelsey breaks down Taylor Swift's staggering impact on brother Travis. He's growing up. This could also be the headline. Man gets girlfriend doesn't act like as big a prick anymore. That's the story. Guy gets girlfriend not going out as much. Guy gets girlfriend not drinking as much. Guy gets girlfriend doing more wholesome things with his everyday life. Guy gets girlfriend not texting four chicks at once. Yeah, like this. From the. From the land of no surprises. I what is being. It's not that I don't think the New Heights podcast should be popular. I just don't think it should be as popular. As it is, I don't think that they're doing genius work is what I'm saying. Jason Kelsey admits Taylor Swift has played a major role in his helping his brother Travis Kelsey grow up over the last few years. Said every brother of a. Of a guy who got a girlfriend ever. While appearing on Tuesday's episode of the Fits and Wit podcast. Who's Fitz and width? I swear. Okay. Oh, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Andrew Whitworth. Ryan Fitzpatrick, former quarterback in the NFL. I mean, I'm going to lose my mind. I'm going to lose my mind. Tory's this podcast. I hope you enjoy the show. I hope you enjoy this breakdown that I'm having right now. Because Ryan Fitzpatrick, who's made. You know, my brother's friends with him. He. They were with the Dolphins at the same time. My brother loves Ryan Fitzpatrick. Okay. He's not reaching out to have me on his podcast again. Why? I'm not saying I should be on there instead of Jason Kelsey. This guy's like the most popular guy in the world right now. He's basically like, you know, someone on Seinfeld. Like, it's crazy. Jason Kelsey admits Taylor Swift has played a major role okay. While appearing on the Fitz and wit what I'm going to. I want to listen to these podcasts. Listen, I can be wrong. Let me be wrong. I'm sure Fitz and Wit, they just cut it up and have a great time. I'm also sure. I don't know if there's going to be a lot of laughs from it. I want to hear from Fitz about Harvard. Being a Harvard alumnus, he probably goes to some. He went to Harvard. He played football at Harvard and that's what he was known for for a long time. And then he got this kind of like this kind of following via being this like journeyman quarterback who always did well. My brother said he's the best. Like, listen again, I'm giving you inside because he like literally loves the guy. Does he need a podcast or how about you help some other podcasters on your with your podcast that you're. That pays your like for your third house. He's got 12 kids, I think. So I. Okay, so maybe he does need the money. How much? So it's been staggering, honestly. Jason quickly repos. So they asked him has the former Eagle Philadelphia Eagles athlete was asked how much Travis has grown up in the last three years by co host Ryan Fitzpatrick. It's been staggering, honestly. Jason quickly reply replied okay. Fitzpatrick chimed in to say that he was at Travis's home Three years ago when there was only a basketball hoop and a pool table in his living room. Yeah, yeah. That's called being a rich adult with no girlfriend. One of the things I love so much about Travis is he that he never grew up like he was. He was like Peter Pan and like the Lost Boys, said Jason when I asked. When asked if Travis is growing up now, Jason immediately responded, for sure. It's changing. And I think that sometimes you get people in your life that maybe get that out of you, and that's a good thing. Jason said. This podcast sounds like it's a barrel of laughs. The super bowl champion reiterated that there's no question Travis has evolved while also keeping this young and his young energy. Trav, he's growing up. He's still, though, got that youthful enthusiasm. He explained. I think he'll kind of always have that. It's just part of his personality. And I think it's one of the reasons every teammate loves playing with him. And anybody that's ever met Trav, you can't help but love the guy. This. I'm kidding. This sounds entertaining, I guess. Yeah, he grew up. He got a girlfriend and grew up. Okay. Everyone loves him. He continued calling Travis a free spirit in the best possible way. Although Jason didn't specifically mention Swift by name, she's been dating Travis for almost two years. As a Kansas City Chiefs athlete, 35, previously made a lifestyle change when he purchased a $6 million. Okay, goodbye. This story's done. This story I love because it's one of my favorite athletes of all time. This is someone that brought me up. I would, you know, some. There are people that you admire from afar, there's people you're fans of, and you start to realize like, they gave you certain life lessons. And I would credit Tom Brady for that. Tom Brady is a story that I have told. And every day, every day that goes by now I have to, like, distinguish between the Tom Brady and I'm sure Tom Brady's a good hang. I'm sure he's a good guy, but it's. He's a tough watch now for me. Tom Brady surprises son Benjamin with $3 million diamond watch before Super Bowl 2025. Okay. He had his son. I'm reading ahead. Okay. Let me just say, would I give my son a $3 million watch if I could? I don't know. I also don't think so. I can't under. Because here's my issue. Tom Brady was like the grit guy, the work hard guy, the, you know, the Brady you know, he had the, you know, I'm eating avocado ice cream. His whole thing. I was the six, you know, six quarterbacks were chosen ahead of me. He's not really practicing what he preaches anymore. When you give your son a $3 million watch, you're not bringing. I don't know, I listen. I'm commenting on his parenting and that's probably wrong. I. I just. It does fly in the face of the Tom Brady. I thought I was dealing with this. Okay, you got to work and I guess you could work hard while having a three million dollar watch, but I just think chances are slim or lesser than they were before the $3 million watch. Tom Brady made sure that his son Benjamin got it. And I'm sure if this is the son he had. Listen, he's going. He went through a divorce with Gisele, but he was with Bridget Moynihan and they had a kid and they never got married. So he might have a feel a certain way where he's got to like catch up with this kid that he never married his mom. I don't know. Tom Brady made sure that his son Benjamin got a taste of his Super Bowl 2025 bling. The former New England Patriots quarterback was seen presenting the 15. 15 year old. Do you put it in a safe for when he's ready? Do you at least do that? Presenting the 15 year old with a diamond watch in a recap video from the big game shared to YouTube on Monday. You're putting it on YouTube? I mean, I would be embarrassed. I'd be like, hey, listen, we'll do this between us. Why on YouTube? So they can make money off of the YouTube views again, like I'm obsessed with the money angle. I know you might be like, Jared, you know, cut it out. This doesn't sound becoming of you. I think it's unbecoming to give your son a $3 million watch and then put it on YouTube for everyone to watch. So you make money off the YouTube ads, but I guess you're setting your son up. Maybe it's his account. It's probably the 15 year old son's account. And it's. I always thought childs of celebrities in this day and age, like the best way to like get money to them tax free is to create social media accounts. You know, the best way for this kid, Tom Brady's son, at Tom Brady's son. Then you change the name to Benny Brady. Is that his name? Ben Benjamin? Yeah, Benny Brady. And then it's like, oh. And then you change it to AT Benny and it's like no one even knows anymore. Yeah, I follow this guy AT Benny. He's got a cool watch collection. I love his watch stuff. Well, yeah, that was all paid for with, you know, with, with, with how much I love Tom Brady, you know. All right, Benny, close your eyes and put your wrist out. Don't look. Brady instructed before putting Jacob and Co's billionaire mini Ashoka watch, which is worth A cool 3 million, on the teen's wrist. Okay, so they show him shutting his eyes. He's got his Kendrick Lamar T shirt on. He puts the watch on him with his eyes closed. Benjamin said the watch felt shiny on his wrist. Okay, look. The super bowl champion then told the son who replied, whoa, I, I, there's no reaction that would be, you know, I, I don't know what reaction he should have, but whoa, I need more than woe for a three million dollar gift, yo. Benjamin exclaimed as he showed off the timepiece which is covered in 100 carats of diamonds all around the bracelet and bezel for the camera. While his friend chimed in. Benny's iced out. Oh, I would take the watch away right away. I would immediately regret when the friend says, Benny's iced out. I'd be like, no, never mind. I made a mistake. Brady then admired his gift saying, that's crazy. Oh, Brady, Tommy, don't do it. Don't say it to us. The video then showed the retired NFL star, 47, on a FaceTime call with his 17 year old son Jack. So Brady shares Benjamin and daughter Vivian with his ex Giselle. So this isn't even Jack. The 17 year old is the one with Bridget Moynihan. What he called Jack to show his younger bro. His younger half brother got the if I'm Jack, I mean, I hope he has a watch too. Brady shares Benjamin and daughter Vivian with his ex wife Giselle, while he shares Jack with ex girlfriend Bridget Moynihan. Jack was in New York at the Kansas City Chiefs as the Kansas City Chiefs played the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans. While it's possible that TB12 founder. Yeah, promises middle child could wear. He could wear the bling. It's unlikely that he purchased a second model as there are only 18 existing. Hey, I feel for Jack. Jackie get. What does Jackie get? What does Jack get? And before Brady left his hotel room to head to Caesar's Superdome for his Fox commentary duties, he did grab grab the watch for himself. So is it his or is it the kids in pregame press? Brady rocked the Flashy pieces. He threw the so it wasn't a gift. So he rocked the flashy piece. So I guess he was just showing his kid the, the watch. My God, Brady. Every day. All right, we're gonna, we're gonna cut this in a little bit. We'll do one more story. I, I, we got to do two more stories. One for our friend Bee Movies with the baby. If you remember, we have a resident movie expert that we have on the show every now and again and it's called Bee Movies with the Babies. You can search it in the search function to see all his movie reviews be Movies with the baby. For some reason, he only reviews Glen Powell movies and it's really, he's never mentioned it. He just comes, he calls me and he says, I'm ready to review a new batch of movies. And they all happen to be Glen Powell movies. So I don't know. But he, and he also chose Glen Powell as the first ever J train sexiest man of the year. So this is really a B Movies with the baby article. Glen Powell and Lily James break into fit of giggles as they leave bafta's party together. What's so funny? Glen Powell and Lily James. I mean Lily James, they show her laughing. She is absolutely gorgeous. She's got, she's got a look. Lily James I would say has the look of, of like girl you think, you know, cool, cool girl in high school. That's like part she looks like she would be in a coming of age movie where she's the coolest girl that ever existed on the planet. Glenn Powell. Lily James couldn't contain their giggles as they left a party ahead of the BAFTAs 2025 and a photo obtained by Page Six Tuesday. The two actors were seen leaving the Charles Finch. I mean they look like they're dating here and Chanel BAFTA party at somewhere in London. So I mean, Glenn Powell, they look like they're dating. She's laughing. He's like looking on to her. Yeah, she's got that. I mean he's a stud. He, there's a reason he's the J train. The sexy word. Sexiest man alive. The J Train Sexiest man alive. The first ever. Powell, 36, was the first to walk out of the private members club looking drastically more laid back with the top button of a shirt undone. And Ty loose. And James, who initially walked into the party with a friend, followed soon after with the anyone but you. So he might have like picked her up at the party. Although the two walked out separately. They climbed in the Back of a waiting suv, sat close together before bursting into laughter. Yeah, man. They. They're with a driver that looks like he knows every form of fighting ever. Like, the driver that's in the picture literally looks like he would be a henchman in a James Bond movie. Although there were no signs of pda, Powell was photographed looking smitten with the Pam and Tommy actress, 35, in the back of the car. She's 35. I mean, she looks unbelievable. She's also wearing something very British. Not. They're like trouser shorts. Well, good for Glenn Powell. They look both the euphoria Actress and Powell have admitted to leaning into the rumors to promote their film while denying affair rumors. Oh, so they're already in the I thought he was single. Following his Southern rise in popularity in Hollywood, Powell recently confessed that he's not chasing love, but is open to making space and time for the right person. Is if ever there was a PR agent that wrote a quote, not chasing love, but I'm open to making space and time for the right person. Like, that means I'll fuck. And if the person's right, then for me, then we will get married. That is him saying that. Don't believe everything you see is what he's saying. Don't make anything I if you see me with a woman, it's not that serious unless I say so. Is really what the story is saying. This is a time where life is moving so fast, I don't even know I could bring someone into it. I don't know. I. How could I? And if I'm. Let me just say I agree with Glenn Powell. I agree in a healthy way, even if I tried. He told Gayle King in an interview with CBS in June 2024. Perfect answer. Because he's right. You have to stay. You got to stay with the facts. This is a time of life. It's moving so fast, I don't even know if I could bring someone into it in a healthy way. Even if I try that healthy word. You gotta hit the healthy note. One more story. Jessica Simpson makes candid confession about relationship with estranged husband Eric Johnson. Admits her heart gets tossed around. This is an article. This title. So Jessica Simpson's writing an album about her breakup or is putting out an album about her breakup with Eric Johnson, who Needham High alum, by the way. As I've mentioned here on the J Train podcast, Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson still have a close bond despite their looming divorce.
