You're a nosy. You want the full sitch? Come to Pop Culture Thursday. Hello and welcome. The J Train podcast is J Train Jared Freed coming live from Delray Beach, Florida. That's right, every Thursday is a Pop Culture Thursday, where me, the comedian, goes to Page Six and. And reads the articles and riffs. I have a bunch of articles in front of me. I want to thank you for being a subscriber to this show. I know there's a lot of podcasts out there, and you have chosen to make me a part of your day. That means a lot. I tape Pop Culture Thursday generally as close to Thursday as I can get it. The last few weeks, I've just been on the road and traveling, and that is a lot to do with making the jcu, the J Train cinematic universe, a better, funnier place. I'm going to Boston this weekend, but I'm going early because I have to tape stuff for you up in New York. And then I'm going to do some YouTube videos with V, our producer from the Boston area where I grew up. So we're going to do some let's Go Home to Needham videos. That's a little bit of a. What we call a tease in the industry. So if you're not subscribed. Subscribed to the YouTube. Get subscribed to the YouTube channel. Let's get in to today's episode. I have two sponsors. Two sponsors that, you know, and that's thanks to you guys. You know, our. You know, it becomes. You know, I want this show to be financially. Financially stable. So, you know, you guys are doing your job, I'm doing my job. We're all. This is the great circle of podcasting. Just use the promos only if they'll help your laugh. Cause sometimes they don't. That's the thing. I know that not every ad is for you. My thing is give them a shot because we're gonna give you free money or a way that you can sign up for it in an easier way. There's just, you know, this is the thing. If they can help you, you use them, and then that helps us and. And you get a great show every day. A great show. I like to think that we put together a great show, a. A fine show, that we make the effort to be great every single time. I like this article because maybe it's the beginning of the end. Inside Harry and Megan's Sundance Redemption and why the struggling pair can still garner industry interest. I mean, I hate this. Oh, so now page six, you know, not to get into the, you know, the. The tech of it all. The. But Page Six has a different look. Page Six, Hollywood deals, drama and decision maker. So this is taking us to a different thing. I don't know. When I see Inside Harry and Megan, Sundance Redemption, and why the struggling pair can still garner industry interest. They can still garner industry indent interest because they have an audience. So. And I was told, and I think this quote, I'm probably butchering the quote, but the idea of it kind of lives with me. There's a big difference between having an audience and gaining a following. Anyone can go out in the street and start screaming and people will stop and watch. But will they, you know, go and see their movie that they're making? I don't think so. Harry and Meghan and I think because of the audience that they get, no matter what, every time they leave the house, we want to look at them. We have that interest in royalty. That is why Harry and Meghan left the Royal Family. They said, there's actually money in being us. We won't have to answer to anyone but us. We can live alone, but also mooch off the family name, but on our own terms. So they said, goodbye, royals. There's this thing called social media and your own brand that we can go and do our own thing forever. So the, you know, the idea of, like, how can they. The struggling pair still garner industry interest? Every investor will say, they got 2 million followers. That is money. If they can make the right thing, people will watch. But I think the thing that I like about this is that they're slowly making audiences lose. You know, this might be the beginning of the end where people lose trust. And maybe every Jim and Joe who starts a podcast because their dad was Martin Scorsese, I don't know. I don't know. Martin Scorsese's kids. I'm just using them as an example. Maybe. Maybe Martin Scorsese's kid has a great podcast. I'm just saying. Well, that's the whole point. There's a new podcast. Oh, Martin Scorsese's kid. Okay, let's check it out. That's the reason they can still get money. And then you go, wow, I can't believe I listened to Martin Scorsese's kids podcast that talked about nothing. So I go to this article. It's not even an article. I mean, this new version of Page Six. What's going on here? I just clicked on it. I think, oh, here it is. It's got, like one of those oh, you have to become a Page Six Hollywood insider for premium access to exclusive stories. No fucking way. No, I'm out. I'm sorry that. Well, this is the thing. This is kind of the example I'm talking about. This is it. Inside Harry and Meghan Sundance Redemption, and why the struggling pair can still garner in industry interest. If I was an investor to Harry and Meghan Industries, I would use this podcast as an example. Yes, I am an audience. I'd like to see how Harry and Meghan are doing at Sundance. Oh, I have to pay. No fucking way. Uh, their stuff in the past has been junk. I'm gonna go ahead and believe that there's stuff in the future is junk. Harry and Megan better prove themselves with something on a platform that I'm already paying the streaming service fee for this. This is economics. This is game theory right here in front of you. Living live on the J Train podcast every Thursday. I'm Popcorn Thursday. Let's do another. We'll move on. I, I, I'm, I'm a little embarrassed, but, you know, this is how this show works, honestly. We see the headlines and then we see if we're going to read it. And look at. I'm. I'm on page six Hollywood again. This is crazy. I, I clicked on this one. Oh, okay, Vi, Thank God. You can read this one now. I read this because two reasons as far as viral headlines are concerned. This is probably one of the best setups, and you've seen it before, why Joe Montana is laughing all the way to the bank after the Seahawks playoff victory. Now, any headline that says Blankety Blank is laughing all the way to the bank. Doo doo. Blankety Blank. I'm in. I'm clicking. I'm gonna see. I wanna know how they're getting the money. What happened to get the money? Laughing their way to the bank means it came easy. It was kind of some sort of windfall. I'm in. I think you're in, too. Also, Joe Montana. You know, we talk a lot about curating here. Curating has come up a lot, and it has to do with why people click on links and kind of what this show has turned into. Pop culture Thursday. I've never heard feedback from the audience on whether this Q rating thing is interesting to you, but I keep talking about it. So Joe Montana. If I was to play the game, the word association game, Joe Montana would go great quarterback, and then it would go poor. I don't know why, but there's this, like, thought in my head that Joe Montana has Money issues. Like, because you never see him anywhere. He's considered one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. And he's in a Sketchers commercial. And you're like, Joe. But I guess he was doing. He was shilling before. It was kind of cool. Like Brady's in every commercial. But I don't see him in a. He isn't a Domino's commercial. I don't know why. Maybe I could be again, could be. I'm probably totally wrong. But also, is Joe Montana betting on football? Let's see. While the Rams were knocked out of the super bowl contention on Sunday, the real winner it will be the. While the Rams were knocked out of super bowl contention on Sunday, the real winner this year will be Joe Montana. Wait, I just had the old article. Did it really Just show me the whole article and then say, nope, we're gonna take it away. This Page Six Hollywood. I guess maybe I have to sign up for Page Six Hollywood if I'm gonna do this show. This is crazy. I don't become a Patriots Hollywood. I. Okay, hold on. We might have to stop this podcast if every article. My note for that headline was just great headlines. So, I mean, we're going to keep going. I mean, I do want to know. Honestly, I'm more willing to pay to find out why Joe Montana's laughing all the way to the bank than I am how Megan and Harry are doing with Hollywood. But I would also argue that the Megan and Harry article is a little bit flimsy compared to Joe Montana is laughing all the way to the bank after the Seahawks playoff victory. That's like something I do want to know about. I can't believe Page Six would do this to a loyal visitor like myself. Okay, I have better articles to go. We'll get into the. The other ones. But I'm, I'm very frustrated with Page Six here. Sources say the four time super bowl winning QB usually racks up hundreds of thousands in appearances during a normal Super Bowl. But the big game is at Levi's Stadium, home of the 49ers. He's bound to rack up even more. I'm telling you, Joe Montana is known for shilling. This year, Montana will be will appear at the events of the Orpheum Theater, which with fellow football legends and I'll also host a celeb golf tournament. Yeah, Joe Montana is like, you know, it is a weird reputation to get. Notorious Shiller. I'm Joe. Like, you know, you. When do you make that decision? I guess you make it over time. Tom Brady getting paid 50 million to be a announcer and then also doing commercials. No one ever says, like, tomorrow, Tom, enough's enough. What? How much money do you need? But Joe Montana, we kind. I. I would love to hear back comment on Spotify if you're of the mind that Joe Montana is, is known as like, cuz it was the Skechers commercial. You're like, joe, what are you doing in a Sketchers commercial? You're the greatest quarterback of all time. And then you're like, you never thought of the money with Tom Brady. Every time I see him, I'm like, he must be getting a hundred million dollars. Tom Brady's also got this cool factor, but Joe Montana was Joe Cool. That was like his nickname. Speaking of shilling, we are sponsored Hero bread. I have hero bread in the freezer. I pop out the sliced loaf, I put it in the the toaster oven. I have it with eggs and turkey bacon.

We now head to the episode again. We have full articles here. Violated. And that's in quotes. Violated. Taylor Swift fuming over release of private texts as she let me read that again. Violated in quotes. Taylor Swift fuming over release of private texts as she's dragged into Blake Lively's legal drama report. Now I would say if someone said, jared, I somehow had my text. This is the thing, when you go into a legal process like Blake Lively has entered into having the text release, you're like, fine, I'll have the text release. But then you have so many people in your life that like I would say having my text release with someone even. And I'm saying right now I there is nothing in my mind right now that I'm like, I could never have those text release. It would be uncomfortable. I wouldn't like it. But even that being said, having any amount of my text released to the public, you know, at large is stressful. It doesn't matter what you've said. All there's a way you talk and if You're Taylor Swift. There is a way she talks to the audience, and there's a way, I'm sure she texts with Blake Lively. I don't think that they're a hundred percent different than one another, but there are different enough that I would understand that. Taylor's like, I feel naked. That is a naked feeling, having your text. I mean, even here, they have them. They have them here. Yes, there's been a lot of Justin stuff, but I've been through. And you said the word like, 18 times. It feels awful to be in any way critical of any way you process what you've been going like. I, I'm now reading Taylor Swift text and that, and I'm interested. That means the biggest Taylor Swift fan is interested. And they're going through every word, every punctuation. That is, if I'm Taylor Swift, if I am associated with someone who's released my text to the world, they're out, gone. I don't care if I said nothing. You have put me in a position, and now I understand. Now the feedback could be, well, Blake Lively is in a legal proceeding where she felt violated by someone else on the set. And you go, yeah, I wouldn't want that. I wouldn't want to go through that. If I'm Blake Lively as well, I think you got to go sit down with friends and family and be like, hey, we got this big court case coming. I'm looking to defend myself, but this is. And I'm about to go through these proceedings. Your texts are going to be out there. Even if someone said that, I would say, good luck to you. I need to back away from you. I need to back away from you, knowing you are someone where this could happen. And there's nothing like a mad woman. Taylor Swift is reportedly fuming over the release of her private text with Blake Lively since be being dragged into the actress legal ballot with Justin Baldoni. It's honestly been really hard for Taylor. A source told Us Weekly Monday. Her having her text out there made her feel exposed and kind of violated, like something private suddenly wasn't hers anymore. That doesn't sit well with her. It is. I, I, I side with Taylor 100%, and she can't really say anything because Blake Lively's plight is more serious than, hey, your text got out there. But because anyone could come at Taylor and go, this is a, you know, this is a harassment issue. How could you not just be team Blake Lively 100%. And it's like, this has gone on now over a year. This Court case. So it wasn't open and shut. Page Six has reached out to Swift's rep for comment. Yeah, what you gonna say? I hate that. She's not gonna say. Last week, ahead of a summary judgment hearing, a judge unsealed several texts between Swift and Lively, which revealed the pop star's true feelings about Baldoni, as well as a friendship shift between her and the Gossip Girl alumni. In one of the court. Yeah, she probably was like, holy, you're going through this whole court thing. I'm gonna back away. In one of the court documents obtained by Page Six, Swift texted Lively ahead of the bombshell New York Times article that claimed Baldoni, Lively's director and co starred in, in and ends with us wage a smear campaign against the Green Lantern star. Yeah. Then they go into the history of this. I think this knows something. Oh, my God, Taylor again. This is the naked feeling. We're seeing the real Taylor. This is a quote. I think this knows something is coming because he's gotten out his tiny violin. Swift, 36, texted lively38. According to the docs. I mean, Taylor, I didn't know you had it in you. Again, I'm sitting here giggling and laughing, and that has to feel like total crap for Taylor Swift if I'm to be empathetic to her plight. I think this bitch. What? Taylor. I think this bitch knows something is coming because he's gotten out his tiny violin. That is quite a sentence. Another doc revealed a tense exchange between the former besties where they discussed their changing friendship dynamic. That's only a text that would happen between women. I have never texted with, like, a guy that I'm buddies with. Has the dynamic between us changed? There's been a vibe shift with us. The personal conversation began with Lively checking in to ask if. Oh, this is. Oh, my. She's doing the check in text. The personal conversation began by Lively checking in to ask Swift if everything was okay. That means she knows everything is not okay. I mean, that's a lesson to any dater out there. I felt a vibe shift. You were right. Just like Blake, you were right. You had someone that was texting you great before and being like this, took out his tiny violin. And then you're like, hey, what are you doing Saturday? And they're like, nothing. Well, what happened to this bitch woman? Oh, is everything okay? Since she had been feeling like a bad friend to the singer lately. Oh, then you take the blame. You go, I'm the bad friend, but are you okay? Lively went on to tell the Grammy winner That she was a key person during her public feud with Beldoni, but that she had a feeling something may not be right. Oh, so this is coming after it all came out after about an hour, Swift replied. An hour? Oi. Sw. After about an hour, Swift replied. No, you're not wrong, but it's also not a big deal. W. That is Taylor. Come on. Who helped you draft that text? Aren't you, like, one of the greatest lyricists of our time? Hey, is everything cool between us? You feel. I feel like you've, like, shifted a little bit. You're not wrong, but no big deal. That's. That's. It is a big deal. Yes. There's been a vibe shift. I'm not really friends with you anymore. No biggie. Don't worry about it. I would be if I'm Blake Lively. I'm like, so I guess I'll think about this for the rest of my life. She also admitted to feeling a little bit of a shift in the way Lively talks to her in recent months. While recognizing how all consuming Lively's legal battle with Baldoni must be. Taylor was real friendly. And this with the tiny violin when she thought this case would be over in a month. Now it's gone on a year and Taylor's going, yeah, there's been a vibe shift. My texts are getting released to the world. I think I'm gonna back away from you. While recognizing how all consuming Lively's legal battle with Baldoni must be, Swift told her that several of her last messages felt like she was reading a mass fell. Several of her last messages felt like she was reading a mass corporate email sent to 200 employees. Oh, Taylor. So she's basically saying, Blake, it feels like when you text me, it's AI written. It's not. It's not really personal. Swift claimed that Lively wasn't acting her usual self and said she missed her funny, dark, normal speaking friend who talks to me as herself, not like a plural unit. Wow. So. Well, everyone got more fearful. The. The group text had been, here's what happens. And this is actually normal. They. I mean, it's. It's. Stars are just like us. Blake Lively and Taylor Swift are friends, and they have a good time together. Then Blake's gonna go through a legal battle where she's gonna have Taylor kind of like, get questioned on it all the time. And now Blake knows that everything she said is being processed and. And the friendship changed because we all change. You know, you don't make these decisions in a vacuum. The opalite Songstress assured her friend that she didn't need to apologize and she just wanted her to come back. Please. That's Taylor. Hey. I just want you to be like you were before. Come back to me. Just stop being so corporate. Lively acknowledged that Swift was right. With a few more text exchanges, they seem to resolve things. No, that's. That's not resolved unless dinner is had. We need to get together for drinks. That's the only way that gets resolved. I like this headline. Inside Heidi Klum's private World. A documentary, a new era, and a really hot husband. So to me, this headline is Heidi Klum's PR People are starting to turn the wheels on. Hey, the documentary Heidi made is coming. We are living in the era of propaganda. All of these documentaries are made by the people who they're supposed to be covering. That's an autobiography. That is not a trustworthy source. I just saw Tyra Banks on the preview for the documentary on the Top Model show. Top Model has kind of gotten this, like, you know, this review, this, like this look. Over the years since Top Model's been off the air, everyone's looked back on it as this horrific thing. Even though we were all watching it and enjoying it, it was a very popular show. This seems to be Tyra Banks's response to that. And she's self producing. So it's going to take a look at Top Model and they're going to. It's like the stars are just like us and they've also become self aware and they have the ability and the money to create their own propaganda, to be like, here's, here's the story you didn't know, but told through the people who want to make sure that you think of us kindly. So Heidi Klum, when she says, oh, I got a hot husband and wait till you see my private world. No, no, no. She's letting us see to go back to Taylor. And you know why? She's mad at Blake Lively. We're going to get to see the version of Heidi she wants us to see. We're not going to see the group chat unless a judge orders it to be seen. Heidi Klum remains deeply in love with her husband of almost seven years, musician Tom Collitz. We just clicked from the very first moment. She exclusively tells Page Six from her Bel Air, California home. He's really hot. At 52, the supermodel television host and producer is clearly enjoying the life she's built with college. 36, 36. This guy hit the jackpot. Hottie, model, wife and he's just hanging. There's a kind of feeling of home with him that I've had from the very beginning. I feel cared for, loved, and worshiped. Worshiped is quite a word. Worshiped. Heidi Klum feels worshiped. That is a word that only a woman could use to describe her relationship. If any man was like, yeah, I love my wife. I'm 52, they're 36. I feel at home. I feel loved. I feel worshiped, we'd be like, what? Wait, what? What'd you say, sir? Worshiped? Is she okay? Is this. Is this woman that you're keeping in your home okay? I know you call her your wife, but that doesn't seem like a very even marriage. The pair, who have been married since 2019, share a chemistry that's impossible to miss. We love each other's company and have fun together. She adds, it's been really amazing. Yeah, it's all. It's easy to have fun with someone when you're worshiped like that. It's easy to have fun with someone when you get worshiped by them like you're some sort of statue on an altar. Klum's comments on her marital life come on the verge of her opening the doors to her family life and the career that has defined her for more than three decades. Oh, really? You mean to tell us that this interview has to do with a. The documentary she made about herself? That is a crazy thing. In on and off the Catwalk by Heidi Klum, a new two part documentary series. Viewers are given a rare behind the scenes look at Klum's world together with two of her four children, Lenny, 21, and Henry Samuel, 20. That's her daughter, who also wants to be a celebrity and also does modeling. So this is a documentary to get her daughter into the business and get us to know them, and they're gonna have some funny moments. Maybe one of them will fart and we'll go, whoa, Heidi, you're a super bottle. They don't fart. You do that. I've been approached to do a reality show for quite some time, and I've never really wanted to open the doors to our house. Yeah, because you wouldn't have control. You didn't want to do, you didn't need to do the, you know, the, the, the Osborne version of this. You didn't need it. You had money, you're okay. But I'm doing it because I wanted people to see behind the scenes of what it's like to be a model. No, you're doing it because you have full creative control. You own the product. You're going to make it. It costs very little compared to what it used to cost. You don't need a production company. You can have two cameras come into your home and it's done. I mean, I'm doing this. I'm doing this on YouTube. I do this on YouTube. You can go watch my family videos. That is as well done. The cameras on that are pretty damn good. You're like one step away from the type of cameras and production you would need to make this show. The series will capture major milestones. Henry has landed a breakthrough role as the face of YSL Beauty. And Lenny has been modeling since she was 16. What did I say to you? What did I say to you? You're going to be able to see all these milestones about my kids not ever having to work another day in their life because they're going to get a following from this and then they can model and never have to worry about a thing. I'm going to set my kids up. That's what this documentary should be called. Heidi Clune bequeathing her her following to her kids. Heidi Clum and her husband, who hasn't done music in a decade. It's amazing how they're finding their way in this industry. It's amazing. Can we. Can we not? You're. You're surprised they're finding their way in the modeling industry when Heidi Klum's their mom. Lenny Klum is doing okay. What? What? Even though they watch me, they couldn't be more different. They have their own head on their shoulders. They have their own opinions. Most of the time it' opposite of what I like. Yeah. Here we go. Here we go. Wait till you see us in our home. We're cray. We're cray cray. You wouldn't believe this family. Wait to hear what Lenny says. Can you believe she looks at me in my outfit and goes, that's cringe. She calls me Heidi Klum. Cringe. Oh, my God. Wait till you see the hijinks of the Clum family. Can you tell I'm rolling my eyes. Can you tell? We'll do one more. I gotta do this one. I've been watching Heated rivalry. Now Olympian admits to secret heated rivalry style relationship with Miley Cyrus before coming out as gay. I don't think this is the same as Heated Rivalry. Wouldn't. Wouldn't your. I've only watched two episodes. I my. Here's my heated rivalry review that's starting to brew. If you if you care. I find it very interesting that women love this show considering this was a heterosexual relationship between a man and a woman. They'd all be like, this guy's a dick. Like, I think it's a perfect relationship. I think it's two men or two people. Like, if it was just. If this was a male, female relationship where two people were just hooking up and like kind of flirting back and forth again, I'm on episode two and they're starting to get feelings, but they're getting angry with each other and they're handling it in interpersonally and they're not involving other people. I go, yeah, that's kind of how a relationship would work. And I get it. I don't think a lot of women would like, like this as much if there was a woman involved. That's my point. And they're all. I just, I. I guess it's interesting that all these women are like, I love it. Oh my God, it's a love story. It's like, okay, but if your relation was working out this way, it was just two people hooking up over like a span of 10 years. I don't think you'd be as like, I don't think everyone would be considered so innocent. But that goes into societal differences and power dynamics of, you know, marriage and time ticking. But if you knew the woman had her eggs frozen, would you be like, okay, they're fucking around? I don't know. But to go back to this article, I don't understand how the Olympian had a heated rivalry style relationship with a woman. I guess they were hiding, but it's not the same. It's not the same stakes. Gus Kenworthy noticed insane parallels between his life and the fictional storyline of heated rivalry, down to his Rose like relationship with Miley Cyrus before coming out as gay. The athlete, 34, told the New Yorker on Sunday that one of the show's main characters, Shane Hollander, is suddenly, like, linked to a famous person named Rose Landry. Just like he and Cyrus, 33, made headlines in 2014. Okay, different. Maybe I'm not at that episode yet as much as I kind of wanted it, because that's the person you would want to be with if you're straight, someone successful and beautiful and talented. It's not the same as when you're with a guy, the Olympic skier explained over the weekend. Oh, so he's saying, I got linked to Cyrus, but I was actually gay at the time. And just like Hollander was gay and he gets linked to someone else it was surreal for a number of reasons, but I was also digging myself this deeper and deeper hole, he recalled. I actually love her. But then there was some flirty texting and I remember thinking, what am I doing? I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to keep up. Keep waking up and lying. Okay, this makes sense. Yeah, he's right. Ken. Ken. Kenworthy and the former Disney Channel star. Channel star set tongues wagging in 2014 when he won silver at the Sochi Games just ahead of Valentine's Day and told reporters that Cyrus was his dream date and celeb crush. At the time, Kenworthy was in a secret relationship with clandestine meetings and hookups. Allah Hollander, played by Will Hudson Williams and his on screen love interest Ilya Rosenoff, played by Connor Story. Cyrus rep did not immediately respond to Page Six. Here's what I'll say. It is crazy to me. This is happening. Kenworthy. The Olympics are coming up. I cannot believe. Set this story aside.
