You're a nosy. You want the full sitch? Come to Pop Culture Thursday. Hello and welcome to the J Train podcast. This is J Train. Jared Freed coming. You live from New York City. That's right. Every Thursday is a Pop Culture Thursday, where me, the comedian goes to Page Six, reads some headlines, and we riff. That's the show. That's a, I mean, what a simple put your brain on the shelf show today. Very Taylor Swift wedding heavy. It is the talk of the town. I'm in New York City, so I don't know how much of a talk it is of the country. I know here it is of concern. There's, it is, it's very interesting what's going on with the Taylor Swift wedding. It's all, it comes up weirdly with people of like, what's she doing? Page Six is all over it. As the local paper should be. But Page Six, a national newspaper that is also local. This is a story that's local and national because it is the biggest star in America getting married. That is a huge, that's a, that's a world news story. And then it's happening in New York City, apparently. Allegedly. Msg, which I am sitting right now down the street from. I'm at the Moxie Hotel, where they don't plug, they don't sponsor this show. They sponsor me. They're, they're putting me up. They've been giving me good deals to help facilitate me coming into the city and taping. I'm in the city because I'm taping you up. I'm also, this weekend, I'm doing a show in West Hampton. If you're in the Hamptons, there's a few tickets available. Here's the thing. If you've gone to buy tickets for my West Hampton show and all you see are single seats, go get together with the group, chat, get a couple seats. I'm sure the people of the Hamptons are totally easy and friendly to switch your seats around and make sure you can sit together. I, I say that with some tongue in my cheek, but I would find it. It's actually driving me crazy. It might be my ticked off Tuesday for a couple weeks down the line. Cause I'm taped ahead. Is just like these tickets. You can, all you see is like, there's one strip of seats, like 12 seats in a row. As, as, as one tops as single seats. And it's like, I wish this was like, you know, this would all just be okay. You know, I, I, I wish there was, I'm saying This as the Internet goes out. I hope it's not going to cut out my Internet. Oh no. I just gave a plug to the Moxie Hotel. I hope everything's gonna be okay. Everything gonna be all right. Make sure the Internet works. I'm watching the WI fi. It's going up and down. You know that little up and down. Searching, searching. Okay, we will. We'll try to ignore it. We will try it. Let's just have a good time. The WI fi is going in and out. I wanted to tape this and go have a sandwich before I go and take a nap for the shows I'm doing tonight. Oh my God. I'm riffing.

Taylor Swift heavy episode. It is the talk of the town and let's just we're going to go to page 6 the the top article exact schedule of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's 10 hour MSG wedding Madison Square Garden Taylor Swift and I I you 10 hour wedding. If it was presented to you by anyone, you're like, ah, how do we get out of this? Should we go? Is it too late? Will they never talk to us again if we don't go? But then you hear 10 hour wedding and it's Taylor Swift's wedding. There's a curiosity. I think it is my opinion, and I'm not alone with this opinion that this is all being filmed as a documentary. Because whether you agree, disagree, hate, love, you want to know how did she do the wedding? What can I and I think any woman who aspires to be married, what little things did she do? What details? What are they doing that I can kind of copy and make my own? What cute things. And I think people do that with any wedding they get invited to. What ideas can I take from this wedding as I judge it? I like that. I don't like that. So any wedding, there's a curiosity. Taylor Swift's wedding, there's a huge curiosity. What's she doing this for? And I think a documentary would be kind of the only answer that would make sense. I what I find interesting about the Taylor Swift wedding is that I've been enjoying the discourse amongst women that I trust and women that I, you know, I, I'm really enjoying hearing from women that I enjoy talking to. The I, I saw, you know, Jordana Abraham, my co host on U up she and I talked about it on the U podcast that's coming out next week. I saw Juliet Litman on her podcast. She's discussing it and I've texted them both and we, and I just, it is interesting and again I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm letting the women take this converse. I'm not doing that now. I'm, I'm talking about it on my own podcast. But I would say what you hear from all these women that I trust and respect is this confusion. Why would she need to do this? What is she getting out of this that she couldn't get out of a wedding on a private island why does she need the ado? And Jordana and I were talking about it and I was saying how a friend of mine, he got married and he was saying that his wife in the wedding process had this fog come over her and the minute they were married it kind of like evaporated and, and, and then she was the person he remembers and is like, and she's like, oh my God, what happened there? And that happens to everyone. I don't think anyone's beyond that. The problem is some people have that happen to them and they're 23 and they have a budget. Taylor Swift has that happen to her and she's in her 30s and she's a billionaire. So she might get out of this two years from now and there might be an interview or a documentary she makes. And she's like, I don't know what I was thinking with getting married at Madison Square Garden. But because she's a billionaire, we all kind of have to deal with it. And you're like, we all have to deal with it. I don't have to deal with it. I'm sitting in Chicago. Well, if you're living in Manhattan or have to work in Manhattan or travel through Penn Station or looking to go out east this weekend for your show in West Hampton that still has tickets available, you're dealing with it. She's made her wedding our problem. That's how. And again, when you want to, when you want to stomp big, you got some houses that you're going to step on. So it is interesting. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding in Madison Square Garden will last over 10 hours. Page six, exclusively confirmed. Sources reveal the timeline for Friday's big bash, which follows a rehearsal dinner with a hundred guests at the arena's infosys theater from 6 to 10:30pm Thursday night. So it's Thursday. The timeline. Oh, this is. Wait a minute. Sources reveal the timeline for Friday's big bash which will follow rehearsal dinner. So the rehearsal dinner is right down the street from here. It's happening tonight. Well, 6 to 10:30 and then you're doing a 10 hour wedding. This is, I have to say, this is horrific. On the wedding day, doors open for guests at 3:30pm with cocktail hour beginning at 4 on the sixth floor concourse. The ceremony will then start at 5:30pm on the arena floor. This is. Okay. The reception kicks off at 6:30 and expected to end at 2:00am Over a thousand guests are expected on Friday. Page 6 confirms Swiss Swift and Kelsey, both 36, are set to tie the knot at New York City arena on July 3rd. So they're not even getting July 3rd. It's like, what do you. Why do it on a Friday? I don't know. There's so many ques. This only starts questions, and Taylor Swift never has to answer to any of them. She doesn't have to have a press conference. Like, wouldn't that make you feel better if, like, I. I think we all have so many questions, and when you do it at a place like Madison Square Garden, don't we have a right to some answers? Don't we have a right. You know, this is. The Madison Square Garden is supported by the city and the taxes and everything that goes on should be some sort of. Well, if you're going to have a wedding here, you got to have a press conference afterwards. You got to answer to the press. I need someone who's not a swifty to be like, hey, Taylor, what's the meaning of this? Hey, Taylor, why did you go with Madison Square Garden? What are you getting out of this? What is the message here? Just because you can. Do you want to let us know that? Because you can. You will. Are you that much of a capitalist, Pers. Are you a capitalist in that way where you just say, I got the money. Go fuck yourself. Everyone else, I. That's what I want to know. She has commoditized her whole love life. So to say that this is a surprise is not what I'm saying. It's just why. What's the end game? Well, she wants to have this big. Was this her dream? Did you. If she got at the press conference, like, as a young girl, I imagined getting married near the hot dog stand at Madison Square Garden. You go. Okay, okay. This was her dream. The theater, which holds over 5,000 seats and it's not even intimate. A source revealed the estimated 100 rehearsal dinner guests will arrive through the four pen entrance at Infosys Theater. That's right down the street from here. The theater, which holds over 5,000 seats. A secure location that will help avoid attention from paparazzi. I mean, avoided. Stop it. Avoid attention. Stop it. This is. This is inviting attention. Avoid attention is, hey, there's seven. Seven forty sevens hanging out at jfk. Be there. We won't tell you where it's going, but you're going to the swift wedding. That's avoiding attention. And then those planes take off and they take you to a private island and no one can get on it unless they are an approved person to get on one of these planes that Is that's avoiding attention. This is inviting attention. Ahead of the wedding, various deliveries have been made to MSG with some being labeled garden party. I think there's a documentary coming. It's gotta be other than West Hampton. I'm going to be in Doral, Florida. Red Bank, New Jersey. Foxwoods, Portland, Maine. Huntington, Long Island. Get your tickets. Jared free dot com. I'm always adding more shows. Again, a very Taylor Swift tal Travis Kelce heavy episode. We'll get to some other stories towards the end. I love this story because this is all I care about. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's possible menu uncovered as lobster, french fries, Krispy Kreme and more are delivered to msg. This, this is what we want to know. This is the real story. If you don't have lobster at this wedding, it's kind of like Taylor, are you even a rich person? A feast fit for a king and queen. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding will possibly feature a top notch menu. Page six can exclusively reveal. We saw food and ingredients of all kinds being delivered to New York City's Madison Square Garden on Wednesday ahead of Thursday's rehearsal dinner and Friday's nuptials. Listen, they have pictures literally of the truck with what's coming. In the truck, workers carry boxes containing lobster meat. Okay, that could mean a lobster roll as a appetizer. Blackened chicken. That could mean anything. Packaged chicken, boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Yeah, these are all chicken legs. And chicken legs. In the venue. They could also be seen transporting french fries. Thick cut onion rings. Okay, that's a story. We're going onion rings, not an onion string. Okay, that's a story. I do want to know whether Taylor and Travis are onion ring people versus string people. That is a story I'd be interested in. If they came around at the cocktail hour with little, you know, Chinese takeout buckets that had onion strings in it, I would turn to someone and go, whoa, onion strings. And if they came around with thick cut onion rings that were well done as I prefer them, I go, whoa. Didn't think of them as a thick cut onion ring couple. These are, this is real. This is real news. Red and orange peppers. I don't think that's the news. Romaine and other protos, of course they're going to do a Caesar salad. Travis Kelsey ain't doing a wedge. These are Caesar salad trash people. They're doing Caesar, no question. Romaine. Other produce, eggs, heavy whipping cream and whole milk. I mean, they, everything is to be reported. They literally just said they were avoiding paparazzi. Stop that. Don't say that ever. We also spouted a Krispy Kreme truck arriving at the arena. Krispy Kreme would make sense. That's a local New York City donut. I think it's from North Carolina actually. But I, I connect Krispy Kreme to the New York City area. I mean this is, they're showing pictures of BO labels on boxes like Amazon labels to show what they're getting. We're going to move on to another story. I mean this, this is all Taylor Swift heavy now. This is kind of about what are the, what are us peasants having to go through with Taylor and Travis getting married? What is, what is the effect MSG Corporate employees banned from arena ahead of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Wedding if I were an MSG employee who was looking to make a few extra bucks, I would find a way to say that this wedding ruined my life. I would find a way to do a one minute TikTok to show that I've lost overtime or it somehow ruined my days off or I'm not getting over. I would find a way because what's going to happen is someone's going to say it ruined their life and it's going to be someone that we would all have to take the side of. It's going to be someone who just wants to get to work and is like Taylor. Oh yeah, Taylor Swift. Right. Well, I guess I have to miss the fourth of July barbecue that my grandma always has. She's a little sick and has a cough but you know, hopefully she makes it to next year and then Taylor Swift will plop a million dollar check into their GoFundMe. That that's where I think if you're a creative that's out of a job right now, that's where my energies would lie. I would be taking on MSG employees and trying to help them write stories that would somehow result in a GoFundMe where Taylor Swift is forced to plop a hundred grand into their life. That would be my thing because Ministry corporate employees banned that's already setting it up. Madison Square Gardens corporate employees are banned from the arena ahead of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's highly anticipated wedding. Page Six is exclusively learn MSG is off limits to all corporate employees this week, a source told us Tuesday, adding that employees were not given a reason why. It's a no go zone. If I'm like someone, oh my God, I left my jacket there. It was my grandma's jacket I needed it for the 4th of July. I can't get in because of Taylor. Please add to this GoFundMe so that I can get a new jacket. Then the word gets back to Taylor. You've ruined this young girl's life. Her grandma, the jacket, plop hundred grand. Yeah, these are all great stories. This is all stuff we want. I like this story how Travis Kelsey is spending final days before massive Taylor Swift wedding. What? What's it gonna be? What's. What's he doing? He's watching the World cup and high fiving a buddy. What he's always doing. I would love like this story if written about me would be so different. Like Travis Kelsey's working up a sweat before his wedding to Taylor Swift at Madison Square Garden. The NFL star went for a run by himself in New York City on Tuesday. As seen in a TMZ photo obtained by Page Six. Kelsey jogged through Tribeca where his soon to be wife owns an $18 million townhouse on Franklin Street. He this couldn't be more opposite to how I'd be spending the day before my wedding. Travis Kelsey and I are two different people. This would be like Jared was trying on a tux that didn't fit while tears streamed down his face. And he debated wearing a dark suit because it kind of sort of fit in the black tie wedding. You know, like it would be like Jared cries as he rationalized suit that doesn't really fit fit what the dress code was. That would be what's what's written about me on the day before my wedding. Jared deals with the reality of his body that he thought would be better on his wedding day. That's not really where it's he'd like it to be. That would be my what was Jared Freed doing the day before his wedding? He got a little too drunk and is shitting on his toilet for hours at a time. Jared is regretting the pizza he ate at 2am because he couldn't get to sleep and he decided to have another dinner. So now he's starving himself for breakfast and having a protein bar instead. That's a Travis Kelsey going for a run. That's the least relatable. Pre wedding. Travis goes for a run near his his future wife's $18 million mansion. Jared gets ready in his studio apartment while regretting the pizza he ate from the night before, tears streaming down his face. Thought he would have been thinner for his big wedding day. Guess he's going with the bigger tucks. So stupid. Okay, so we move on from the Taylor Swift, Travis Kelsey of it all. We, we do have more stories. I, I, a couple more. We'll do a couple more while, while we're here. Why not? We've hit the, the 20 minute mark, which is the promise of this show. Bravo stars Kyle Cook and Ava Dash spotted kissing in the Hamptons after denying their dating. I, you have this thing with Bravo people where they all hook up. They get in trouble for not getting married, which is, I don't know why people expect that of them. Or they get in trouble for not being a perfect boyfriend or perfect girlfriend, which is, you know, a perfect boyfriend. Perfect girlfriend. Not exactly what Bravo's looking for as a character on their show. So I don't understand where people get off. But then people do their like, dissertations on why this represents what's wrong with dating in society and then they end up hooking up again. They end up going through it again because again, they're messy people who get cast on a show for being messy. Is it a Bravo match made in EDM heaven? A spy spotted summer house star Kyle Cook and Next Gen NYC breakout, Ava Dash. Ava Dash isn't Next Gen NYC about like the, the Gen Z people looking close. So is Kyle cook dating a 25 year old woman at the VIP section of the Palm Tree Music Festival in Shinnecock Nation grounds in Southampton this weekend? Shinnecock getting a lot of love right now with the golf and now this Palm Tree Music Festival. Despite Cook previously denying there's anything romantic between them. They show them together, they're a hot couple. Here's the thing you would say, Kyle, why would you go back to the Bravo, you know, the Bravo verse for your next girlfriend? I could understand why she does it. She's young and she's new to the whole group. She's new to this whole thing. She is inviting, you know, a certain form of attention and, and probably loving it. But Kyle's seen how horrible it can get. But he doesn't care. He, I mean, I, I would say, but then you also have to defend them. You go, who else they gonna hook up with? Who else can you trust? That's like the real catch 22 of these Bravo relationships. You go into it, you get ripped apart, and then you're like, I'll never do it again. And then you're like, well, who can I hook up with? And then it's like, well, you can either hook up with someone else in the Bravo verse or you can trust someone who doesn't get it or understand it or has less to lose. And again, you might say less to lose. Can't a normal person have. Not that. Have something to lose? Yeah, but not when your livelihood is made up on socials, made up on likability, made up on people who want to look at your life. So they were hanging out at a table in the VIP section for sponsor Celsius. Can you imagine? You're getting paid to be somewhere and you just start making out. Spy. Doesn't seem like something romantic was going on from the way they looked at each other. There was definitely a vibe that they were into each other. I thought they said they kissed. Another source tell us they witnessed the reality stars locking lips. She's gorgeous. They aren't exactly. A source tells us they aren't exactly dating, that it means that it's two people hooking up. That's what it is. And they have to let us know. Oh, we have another story from the Taylor and Travis wedding. Drastic new measures taken outside of MSG to keep Taylor Swift and Travis wedding details a secret. Drastic new measures are being taken outside of Madison Square Garden to keep Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding under wraps. Don't you think? Like, to me, this is like, this is some. Like I like. Isn't a family member gonna be like Taylor? What do you. Why do you want this? On Wednesday morning, Page Six saw strategically plays semi trucks outside of the iconic New York City arena, completely blocking the view to the main loading dock off 33rd Street. I mean, 2026 will be known as the best year of Madison Square Garden's life. That's going to be the year. And this isn't the first wedding that's happened there. But I'm just saying, like, this is going to go down. You win the championship and Taylor Swift, you know, and you know, Jared Freed stayed nearby while crying about a suit that didn't fit. All right, we'll do. Let's do one more. Rob Kardashian. Now, Rob Kardashian who has kind of been disappeared. Rob Kardashian, who hasn't been around very often. He has kind of faded into obscurity. A lot of remember Rob? What happened to Rob? Rob Kardashian is all smiles and rare pics celebrating Chloe's birthday. And they show the picture. Rob looks great. Let me just say this should be the ad for a GLP1. Like, this is to me, I'm not even reading the story. The story is all, Rob's on a G. Like I'll alleged. I'm alleging that Rob is on GLP1 and look at him. He's so happy that he can spend a normal day with his family. This is what I would be. I would go to Rob and be like, listen, Rob, you look great. Are you on a GLP1? And then if he was like, yes. I'd be like, is that the reason you can now stand taking a picture with your family? Like, is there a connection between the two? As someone on a GLP1, I would believe that this guy is able to do this because a lot of his demons are being taken care of by maybe the food thing that he had going on in his life. I don't know. That's me making assumptions. That's me putting my. But for him to be. All of a sudden he's happy to be in these pictures that he knows are going to go out when he is kind of famously avoided pictures and avoided being in the spotlight. I don't know. There's something to it. If you have a pop culture story you want to discuss. Jtrain podcastmail.com we are back next week. Boom.
