You're a nosy. You want the full Come to Pop Culture Thursday. Hello and welcome to the J Train Podcast. This is J Train Jared Freed coming to you live. Ah. From Delray Beach, Florida. That's right. Every Thursday is a Pop Culture Thursday we where I go to Page Six and I read some headlines and then I riff. If you have a story that you want me to talk about here on Pop Culture Thursday, send it in J train podcast gmail.com. that's Jtrain podcast gmail.com. i have a user submitted, not article. This is a clip from a podcast. And. And it's with Jason Derulo. Jason Derulo. I'm a fan of his work. He is famously kind of online, and, you know, it's not that weird to see him in a clip that is from a podcast. Like it could. He does a lot on TikTok and it is a. So sent to me. And we will have the link in the de. In the bio of this episode. I it. I can. I know exactly why I was sending me would love Jared's take on Jason Derulo's 37 and single comments. So it's a clip that's on Instagram, which I'm happy to take a look at. A pop culture clip from Instagram. And again, this is from a fuller interview, but Jason Derulo basically says at 37 and single, he thought when he was younger, at 37, he would be married. Which it is funny that, like, Jason Derulo because of how famous he is. And, you know, you'd be like, well, where. Do you know where I'm looking for the relatability in this interview? I mean, we can play it right now. How about we play the audio? I'll have V play the audio right now.

When your childhood sweetheart, who I think you dated all throughout high school, you thought you were gonna marry her, right? Back in the day, man, I thought I was gonna marry a lot of girls.
- [02:25]
A
Really?
- [02:26]
B
Yeah. I thought I never in a million years did I think I was gonna be 37, single. And you think that's why? Because of work?
- [02:38]
A
Mm.
- [02:39]
B
Nah. I've seen too much too.
- [02:41]
A
Okay.
- [02:42]
B
I've seen too much in my life. Okay. And that means what? I'm tainted? You know? Like, I mean, you can imagine the things that I've seen. Married women, women leaving their boyfriends on the spot, like, leaving their boyfriend in the club. Like, I mean, everything under the sun that you can imagine. I'm giving you the super G version. What? Why do we want the G version? Because I don't want this to be the headline.

A
Okay, so you just heard Jason Derulo's comments on being 37 and single. And you know, I would say there's two ways to look at it. He. He first says, I thought I would have been married at this age. That is totally relatable. I think all of us think of ourselves view via the world view of what we grew up with. If you are 10 years old and you have parents that are 37 or, you know, you're 8 years old, you look at them and you think of the age and you think of yourself, you go, yeah, I'm going to be doing exactly what my parents are doing. By that age, my parents would have been married 10 years. Of course I feel the same way. I couldn't see myself in. In a future that was different than the one I grew up with. I'm sure Jason Derulo feels the same way. Then he goes into basically saying that he's tainted, which I agree with. At 37, when you are single, this is something not to get into Plug Plugville usa But in Walking Red Flag, my book that's coming out June 9th, you can pre order it now. I get into all the head trash that's in your way when you try to date as you get older. All the stuff that makes you lose delusion. You need delusion, which is also called being romantic. You need a little bit of romance in your smoothie. You need. And it's a. The smoothie is a combination of cynical and romantic. Jason Derulo. I think if I was to like have a conversation with him, if I was the interviewer, his response is to blame women is the examples are all to say that he's seen women at concerts leave their boyfriends and husbands to be with him or not really act in a way that he could trust women in the future. I think if I were to give feedback to Jason Derulo and I'm not doubting how he feels because I can't tell him how to feel, I. I would say, do you think that that is the case? I mean, I think what Jason Derulo is saying is that he's saying what he's saying. But I think what he's missing out on is experiences and heartbreak and the difficulty of ending relationships. That's all stuff that gets in your way, that makes you go, you know, hold back from being a little bit more romantic, from being delusional, from believing in love. He is getting too much reality in his smoothie that he keeps sipping on when he looks at a prospective partner. So I understand that. And I, as someone who was single, you know, you know, for a long time and, and, and gave these feelings. Talk about in the book. I gave these feelings and how you have to get over them. And I think that's what I would say, you know, to Jason Derulo when he says, well, I've watched women cheat on men. I'd be like, well, you've also broken up with women and feared how they felt, and you had to hurt people that thought they were going to be married to you. And I would say, wouldn't you say those all kind of factor into this, you know, this mindset that you're tainted? And I think everyone at 37 and single is tainted by experience, by memories, by reality, by not having fairytale experiences. To believe that the future will produce fairytale experiences. I mean, this is the whole idea with investing. Past performance does not indicate future results, but you have to acknowledge how things have happened in the past to make your decisions going forward. So I do enjoy that this was sent in. I, I know it was sent to me because 37 and single, you know, that was the name of my last special. That is something that I speak to. I, I, I think I, if I, I think if Jason Derulo could watch my special, he would go, I get it. I get it. I even say it in there. I'm too picky. I've gotten older. I'm picky. I'm saying no to someone's name. Daru. That's being tainted in the way Derulo is saying it. I think his explanation, I think if I went on stage and I was like, I've watched all these women cheat. That wouldn't really be an honest, full answer. That does some looking in the mirror. And I think Jason Derulo is a little bit fronting, and he sees I'm. He says, I'm keeping it rated G.

This is the, you know, after we're done with the Jason Derulo part of the experience, we go to the Mormon Wives cast. The Mormon Wives cast. I would file this under the subject of. Oh, really? That's what I would call this article. Mormon Wives cast has change of heart. On season five filming after Taylor Frankie Paul fallout, they these women, the Mormon Wives, there was no chance they Were going to, like, set, you know, their morals were going to get in the way of them having a TV show. Once you feel the glow of that light, that fame, it is hard to let it go. What they were going to do was take a breath. They knew Taylor, Frankie Paul was hitting this other thing, and then they were going to come back and they were gonna say, taylor's taking care of her own life. We're gonna keep taping. So I'm sure in the show, they're gonna say, she's out. We're gonna let her get her time and fix, you know, Fi. Figure out her life, and we're gonna go on our. We're gonna keep doing our show. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Cast is reportedly ready to film season five after Taylor Frankie Paul's domestic violence investigation halted production. Well, multiple sources told TMZ on Tuesday that the stars of the hit reality show have resolved their concerns about filming following Paul and her ex Dakota Mortensen's latest alleged altercation. Yeah, of course. Where there's a will, there's a way. And the will, you know, it. It is. Fame is a drug. Attention is a drug. That's why when someone's video goes viral, they do the same thing for the next video. They go, oh, let me go back to my drug dealer. The cast reportedly expects production to resume in a matter of weeks, but they're allegedly pushing Hulu bosses to start as soon as possible so that the delayed production doesn't affect their summer plans. That we got things to do. We want to go to the mountains. We got. We got big hats to wear. Sources noted that the cast is attempting to pressure ABC to greenlight new episodes by building viewer anticipation with their social media posts. However, an insider told TMZ that Hulu execs still have. Haven't made a decision on Stevens 5. In the future of the series as a whole, this series will go on. It will be in some form or fashion where there will be a whole episode dedicated to them watching the news and having Taylor Frankie Paul, season of the Bachelorette. They're going to do a whole thing on that. Them reacting, them saying a lot of nothing. They're gonna go, oh, you know, she's just gotta. She's gotta take care of her life. And they're gonna go, we're gonna stop production. We gotta stop. We can't be just. We. We have to take the series, and they're gonna do a lot of that. Page Six has reached out to Hulu for comment. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which premiered in 2024, stars Paul Jennifer Affleck, Macy Neely, Jesse Draper, Layla Taylor. Yeah, they got a big enough cast. All of these people will be together in some form or fashion. And honestly, they did it. And here I actually believe this is great PR by ABC Hulu. They go, hey, these women, they can't stop pushing us. I, you know, they want to do it, you know, so that's, that's the Move J Train podcast. If you have a article you want me to go over, we would love to have this is the real story of the week. And I don't know if this reaches this audience in the same way it reached me.

I well, I'm going to talk about going to Tempe and I'm going to talk about going hiking with my my lady. Going to talk about having dinner with my parents and how horrific they were at dinner. This article got to me and now it's my whole feed. New England Patriots Mike Vrabel, who is the coach of the Patriots and top New York Times NFL reporter Diana Rossini, formerly of espn hold hands and hug at luxury hotel. Now there's some sort of winter spring meetings for the owners. And it was at and Vrabel, I know married with kids Rossini, who every now and again because she's not on ESPN as much you see a video or tik tok about her talking about her mom giving her crap. She was married, I think a little bit older and had kids right away. And there was a video I'm circulating about how would she leave. She did a video where she's talking about how her mom always says to her husband's going to leave her because she's always traveling. And it was this big joke of the mom saying that now these pictures come out and they are holding hands and interlocking fingers. I have never held hands with a female or male friend in a like this unless we were doing London bridges falling down. That is the only way to describe this. There's only this picture of them. Interlocking fingers is one that it would be difficult to explain to a spouse. And I'm not even saying that they're cheating. But I'm saying this is a friendship that is more touchy feely than any friendship that I have in my life. And that's, that's at a baseline. That's, that's just a truth. That's just a fact. Because I've never interlocked fingers with a friend. If I did, I would feel weird. You would feel weird. I don't even know how we get to that as friends. Because right now, honestly, if they were at the hotel, if there was one other person, they could be like, yeah, we were taking a dance class they offer at the hotel. We were the only ones who signed up. That's how we started dancing. That's why our fingers are interlaced. But this is a picture taken from far away. This is a paparazzi picture. I don't know how you explain this picture. They try to explain it. Exclusive photos obtained by page 6 appear to show the New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel in the New York Times top NFL reporter holding hands and hugging at a luxurious hotel. Vrabel and Diana Rossini, a former anchor on ESPN's flagship sports center who now holds the official title of Senior NFL Insider at the Gray Ladies sports publication that is the the the Athletic. So that's the New York time as the Gray Gray lady were spotted. Two were spotted two weekends ago at the Ambient in Sedona, Arizona, a boutique resort set against the breathtaking Brin Mesa Mountain range. So I was just in Arizona and I know that there were meetings that happen in Phoenix, but not Sedona. You got to take an hour trip to Sedona, a Page Six spy tells us the pair, both married to other people, had breakfast on the patio of the hotel around 10:30am on Saturday, March 28, before spending a leisurely hour or so together at the pool and lounging side by side in a hot tub. I I've been in hot tubs with friends. That's not even the most that's not. That's explainable. Our spy spotted Vrabel and Rossini again that evening on the private rooftop of one of the hotel's bungalows, which features glass walls offering panoramic views of the state's famed red rock formations. Roofs are all Roofs are only accessible from the two person bungalows, which cost up to 20, 2100 a night. Photos show the two hugging at sunset and weaving their fingers together as they stand face to face. The spy said they saw the pair briefly dance together. Honestly, on the list of things I would Be upset with my spouse doing. It goes fingers woven together, number one. And then it goes hugging at sunset, dancing together briefly. And I would say hugging at sunset and dancing together briefly are like 50 down the list. Like, that's not that. That's explainable. Yeah, the music was on. I caught a little vibe. We started to dance. We went up to see the sunset because everyone talks about it. The whole party was downstairs. Like, that's explained. All the whole group was downstairs. I was like, oh, I heard the sunset's crazy. Diana was like, yeah, I would love to go. So we went up there and there was music playing and you know, you know how I like to dance. And then the sunset happened. She told me about how much she misses her family. So I gave her a hug and it just happened to time up with the sunset. There's no explanation I could even think of where you're weaving your fingers together. I don't see how that happens. And I. And I. How do you even explain that? They show them in the hot tub. Yeah, we both love a hot tub. Both Rossini and Vrabel insist that they were with friends and say they were. They simply weren't visible in the pictures. A source close to Rossini says that she was staying at the hotel during a hiking trip with two female pals. One of Rabel's friends told Page Six that they and the coach drove up to Sedona for the day with another pal and they all drove back to their own hotel some two hours away after hanging out with Rossini and her gang. So the. The explanation is that her group and his group go to a resort an hour away in Sedona and they just so happened to see each other there. But three other. But three other eyewitnesses told us that they did not see anyone else with Vrabel and Rossini. 50 and 43. Asked if the Pat's coach visited the hotel with a group of friends, one eyewitness said no, he was with a girl. This is damning. And our sequence of photographs taken at various points during the day show only Vrabel and Rossini. This is tough one. This is a tough one. Vrabel attended a scouting event at Arizona State University in tempe on Friday, March 27th. Was I there? I was in Tempe. Is this when I was there? Am I part of the story? Before traveling 125 miles to ambient, which is the hotel in Sedona, the adult only Ambient prize itself on being a romantic getaway, boasting on its website about the 158 proposals that take place in thousands of anniversaries and honeymoons that have been celebrated at the hotel. Hey, tough day for the V and Rini family. After being seen with Rossini, Vel headed to the Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix for a meeting of the NFL Competition committee. So, yeah, these meetings were happening in Phoenix. A group of owners and coaches who oversee the game's rule book, they show Rossini at her wedding. Page six. Page six pulls no punches. Rossini was among many NFL reporters at the Biltmore on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday of last week when media had access to owners, executives, and coaches. On Thursday, the Athletic published a dispatch about the Biltmore meetings written by Rossini and Jacob Robinson. Rossini has been one of the more prominent football reporters in the country for more than a decade. Yeah, she's a big name. Routinely covers the Patriots as part of the gig. She joined Sports center in 2015. Yeah. So then they go into Rossini's story. She was famously single. She. She had kind of a single thing going on for a second. Do they get into their. Do they whether. In 2015, Rossini weathered a controversy when the wife of the Washington Commanders, Then the Redskins GM Scott McLaughlin, publicly accused him of having an affair. Hey. After the reporter broke a story about Kirk Cousins replacing Robert Griffin as the Redskins starting quarterback, Jessica McLaughlin reportedly wrote on Twitter, I'm pretty sure this info is coming from my husband to his new side chick, Diana. Oi, Diana. It's a mess. Jessica deleted the tweet in her account and apologized to Rossini. Boy, Page six went deep on this one. I deeply apologize for the disparaging remarks about an ESPN reporter. So she apologized. ESPN also defended his reporters. Yeah, I mean, that's an accusation. Much like this is. We don't know the truth. All I know is I've never woven my fingers. That's. You know, I like. You know, when you talk to someone about something like this, you go, give me the explanation to that one weird thing that I can't wrap my head around. Tell me about the woven fingers. That's my. If I'm to interview Vray Bossini, walk me to Woven. That's my opener. Ryan Seacrest reveals his dating red flags as he searches for love on Tinder. I am so tired of hearing about Ryan Seacrest being on Tinder. It was funny to hear about, but it's not real. I mean, the fact that he's doing dating red flags, that is a net negative to the dating discourse on the Internet. What. What Are Ryan Seacrest dating red flags? If they're mean to my butler, I can't date them if they don't like caviar. Like, Ryan SeaCrest has made $100 million, and he's on like Ryan Seacrest. When he got cast as the host of Wheel of Fortune, it was gluttonous to me. It was like, how much money does this guy need? If you're going to be cast as the host of Wheel of Fortune, a show that is just. It is an annuity. You're going to get monthly payments forever. You do that job for three months, you tape for the year, you're done. You do, like, five in a day. You. I think your job is to then be that. You're like, Queen of England. I don't need to hear why do. What is this press campaign where Ryan Seacrest needs to let us all know he's single and he's on Tinder? What's his red flag? Oh, I. I dated this girl once. She was too much of a beach person, and I'm a pool guy, and when we went to St. Bart's we really couldn't connect. And. And someone's like, why are you making this about money? Everything's about money, and Ryan Seacrest has enough to go live on a castle and have women flown in from all over the world to fix his issue immediately. When it comes to dating, Ryan Seacrest is looking for the simple things in a potential partner, like politeness to strangers. Did I tell you this is as nothing burger as it get? Here's your nothing burger. And. And a side of nothing fries. When you're out on a run or a walk or a bike ride, do you say hi to people that pass? The Game? Show host 51, said on Monday's episode of his On Air with Ryan Seacrest show as he listed his dating red flags. That is not a dating red flag. That's not a dating red flag. Dating red flag is holds their fork wrong, and you wonder if they've ever learned anything in their life to know how to hold a fork. You. That's. That's. I. Nice to strangers. What are you. The lesson at the end of a Full House episode. If you don't, I'm not so sure about you. And if someone says good morning to you on the path and you don't respond, that is a red flag. What. What monster is he inventing? You walk by someone on a path and they say hello, you don't say anything. Who do you. Who in their right mind would do That I take everybody out for a little exercise. It's a test. Oh, my God. He's a nightmare. He's. He takes everyone he dates out on an exercise here. That's why you're single, Ryan. You're making everyone do an obstacle course to go on a date with you. What do you mean, it's a test? His other dating hangups revolve around morning routines. The Wheel of Fortune star revealed. I really look forward to getting up and having my coffee. Secrets continue. I think if we can't share that moment together, it's a red flag. I am. I am so angered by this article. Why is he doing this? I just don't understand why. In what world does Ryan Seacrest need to tell us his red flags that aren't red flags. They're a red flag. If someone could debate it. There's no debate. I like to have coffee in the morning. I'd like to share that moment with a partner. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. What do you mean it's a red flag if they don't. In what world is there someone. I mean, I guess there could be someone that wakes up late and doesn't want coffee in the morning, but, like, okay, I. I don't know. I don't even know what we're doing here, so I need coffee as a green flag in the world. There's. It's. It seems like we have, like, these stories right now that are all that are either, like, so important that you're like, I can't even handle it, or you're like, why are you in the way? This is a why are you in the way? Story. In what world did we need to hear from Ryan Seacrest and his red flags? Ryan, you're 51. You have friends. Go to your friends. Ask them who they know that's in their circles. They all. You are 51, and you're 100 millionaire. That means you hang out with other hundred millionaires. So go to them. Hey, I'm looking for someone who do you know? They know a bunch of people who are 50 millionaires because they just got a divorce from their hundred millionaire husbands. That's who you go with. And I'm sure they're wonderful. I'm sure they're gorgeous. I just don't. Why would he talk about his dating red flags? I. Is he trying to be relatable? What is he trying to sell? That's what I'm wondering. This whole thing about his dating red flags is an act of I need to make money off of people, and I Don't know why he needs this. That's how addicted to the attention he is. But Seacrest didn't waver on his opinion. Oh, so I need coffee is a green flag. Don't have a lot and please don't put milk and stuff in it. He added, prompting some pushback from his co host Tanya Rad and Cesani. Oh my God. A huge argument. But Secrest didn't waver on his opinion. Green flag. Black coffee drinker. He doubled down. I don't know what this is. That's a. That's. That's such a non opinion that it makes me hate him. Secrest then decreed that anyone interested in him cannot have one of those things that just ruins your day from the beginning. Referring to a loud alarm. It's gotta be a chimy thing, like a pleasant. Not a hardcore alarm chimes. Green flag. Seacrest is like I secrets is like when I wake up in the morning, I have a harpist. Play lightly on these strings if your alarm is anything different than a human being that you didn't hire to come in and play the harp or a wind chime. I don't know if we can date. After his final dating. Turn off. The host added that he's looking for someone who can get ready in less than 27 minutes. Because not 30. It's not 25. 27. Is he joking? He must be joking. If I were, if I were, I was. If I was the co host, I would say how old do you need to date? Because that's what he's avoiding. Ryan Seacrest, what's as young as you'll go? That's the question. What's as young as you'll go? Would you date a 25 year old? No. Okay. Would you date a 30 year old? No. Yes. Give it to me. You're 51. You'd date 21 years older than your. Than your girlfriend, would you? He wouldn't answer the question. He's on with his pansies. There's no. This is. This radio show just proved itself to be no radio show. It's no show either. Interview someone. The fun time with Ryan is a whole lot of nothing. I love when a story gets reported that probably the person doesn't realize it's being reported. Like if I'm Rod Stewart's wife, Penny Lancaster. Rod, I don't want this story out there now. There's a war going on. There's craziness with the economy. People are fighting in the streets, basically. And it's Rod Stewart's wife. Penny Lancaster says she deserves a medal for the 26 year relationship. If I'm Penny, that's like the one headline I don't want right now. Like, I there are soldiers that have been shot down and need to be saved. And she's like, I deserve a medal. I had to date Rod Stewart. I had to fly private for 26 years. You know how hard that is? I had to be Rod Stewart's wife. Nobody knows how difficult this is. After 26 years of partnership and 18 years of marriage to Rod Stewart, Penny Lancaster says she deserves a medal. In a new interview with best magazine, the 55 Year Old Mother of two opened up about her relationship with the rock legend and revealed how they managed to keep the intimacy alive after nearly two decades of Marri marriage. Who's asking about that? Yes, 26 years. I deserve a medal, don't I? She told the publication, per the Daily Mail. Only joking in quotes. See, she knew. I gotta make sure people know I don't deserve a medal. She did quote, I. I feel for Petty Lancaster. Not a lot of people, not a lot of podcasters. That's. That takes Penny Lancaster. Good for you. She. She said, only joking. They met in 1999 when Penny was a student at Barking College. The pair married in 2007. So night. How old is Rod Stewart? She was in school. Stewart was already the father of six at the time of his marriage. With a blended family and hectic schedules like, hectic schedules? Lancaster, stop it. Lancaster says it's important that she and her husband find time for each other. What's the hectic schedule? When they say hectic schedule, we don't take each other for granted and make sure we have date nights together. She's saying that as if she's in a house like Cheaper by the Dozen where the kids are running by. Where's my lunch, Mom? That never happened to Penny Lancaster. Mom, I got soccer practice. Betty was like talking to the nanny. This is a very me being angry at rich people episode. All right, Pop Culture Thursday. We do it every week.
