Summary

It’s Pop Culture Thursday on the JTrain Podcast! Jared breaks down the week’s wildest celebrity stories with sharp wit and signature sarcasm. From Travis Kelce’s shirtless Miami moment and nickname “Big Yeti,” to Kourtney Kardashian’s take on school being “outdated,” Jared unpacks the headlines through the lens of body image, parenting pressure, and the chaos of online culture. Plus, we get into Heidi Klum’s glamorous getaway, Bill Belichick’s dating life, and Justin Bieber’s Insta fail. With every story, Jared adds his hilarious perspective and reminds us why pop culture is the perfect mirror to our collective nonsense.
