The JTrain Podcast

Pop Culture Thursday is back and Jared Freid is deep in Page Six chaos, riffing on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s fading industry buzz, paywalled celebrity news, and why having an audience isn’t the same as earning trust. He breaks down Joe Montana “laughing all the way to the bank,” Tom Brady’s endless shilling, and why certain headlines are catnip even when the articles disappear mid-read. Jared also dives into the messiest drama of the week: Taylor Swift’s private texts leaked amid Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s legal battle, unpacking friendship “vibe shifts,” exposed group chats, and why released texts feel naked no matter who you are. Plus, he side-eyes Heidi Klum’s new self-produced documentary, her much-younger “hot” husband Tom Kaulitz, and the rise of celebrity propaganda, before wrapping with Olympian Gus Kenworthy, Miley Cyrus, and Heated Rivalry parallels ahead of the Olympics!

Katie Nolan crashes Chit Chat Wednesday and she brings sports chaos: Pats/Bears misery bonding, the sacred “don’t celebrate until it’s confirmed” PTSD that only real fans understand, and Katie breaking down why the Super Bowl is basically a corporate convention with occasional football. Then Jared drops the ultimate peace treaty idea: make political candidates order Buffalo Wild Wings together before debating… which leads to an absurdly detailed, oddly unifying wing order negotiation (bone-in vs boneless diplomacy included). It’s fast, funny, and somehow wholesome, like yelling about football and fries with a friend who actually gets it!

Ticked Off Tuesday is firing on all cylinders as Jared unloads on weather-watchers who treat his tour schedule like a group chat emergency, complete with unsolicited storm anxiety. Listener complaints roll in hot, including getting ripped off on game tickets because “that’s just what it costs,” a luxury flight that turned into unpaid service supervision, and an assistant who can’t stop calling to clarify tasks that could already be done. Then Verizon enters the chat by offering to mail a password reset in the year 2026, somehow topping everything else. It’s petty, cathartic, and deeply validating for anyone who’s ever whispered “am I crazy?” at their phone. Come for the complaints, stay for the reminder that you’re not alone in losing your mind over modern nonsense.

It’s Mailbag Monday from Delray Beach, and Jared’s inbox is doing what it does best: exposing the chaos we all pretend isn’t happening. First up, a “situationship” that’s giving off mysterious relationship anxiety vibes, an age gap, daily drinks, and a whole lot of “we” language for something that isn’t actually a “we.” Then a freshly single 31-year-old wonders if her breakup for political differences was valid. Was her breakup valid? Finally, a NYC listener needs a birthday dinner strategy when her favorite one-on-one friend turns into a group-setting chaos grenade. Jared lays out the only real options: set boundaries, make it their choice, or keep the reservation (and your peace) on lockdown!

This episode Jared dives headfirst into the Beckham family drama, unpacking Brooklyn Beckham’s explosive statement about David Beckham and Victoria Beckham, the wedding dance controversy, and the celebrity fallout that followed. From Nicola Peltz Beckham and billionaire in-laws to Mark Anthony, Bethenny Frankel, and Lily Allen weighing in, Jared riffs on money, control, image, and modern family loyalty. The episode also touches on Kristin Cavallari’s dating regrets as a mom, celebs picking sides, and why airing family feuds on social media almost always backfires. A classic Page Six breakdown with sharp takes, humor, and zero chill.
