Summary

It’s Pop Culture Thursday on the JTrain Podcast, and Jared Freid is here to sift through the headlines so you don’t have to. This week, we’re unpacking the latest celebrity chaos: Meghan Markle correcting Mindy Kaling’s take on royal life, Jane Fonda literally fighting a bear (because of course she did), and whether Lure Fishbar still holds its crown as the ultimate NYC date spot. Jared dives into why certain restaurants scream "situationship" energy, the absurdity of Hollywood PR spins, and what your go-to cocktail says about your dating style. With plenty of laughs, sharp observations, and a sprinkle of luxury lounge judgment, this episode is your perfect pop culture escape.
