its POP CULTURE THURSDAY!! This week on the JTrain Podcast, it's a Pop Culture Thursday, and Jared Freed dives into stories from Page Six, touching on everything from his upcoming comedy special to Tom Brady’s rocky transition into broadcasting. Jared gives listeners an inside look at his special taping on December 7th at Tarrytown Music Hall and reflects on the complexities of preparing new material while holding on to the tried and tested bits.

He also discusses the evolution of Tom Brady’s career, from his underdog beginnings to his current role as a Fox analyst, offering his own thoughts on Brady's transformation into a hustle-culture icon. Tom Brady has replaced Greg Olsen, who had rave reviews for his work during last season’s Super Bowl. Jared explores Brady’s transition from NFL legend to broadcaster and the weight of his $375 million contract. He reflects on Brady’s career shift, highlighting how Brady has gone from underdog to GOAT, and now faces the unique challenge of stepping into the shoes of someone beloved by fans.🙌

Jared questions how Brady feels about replacing someone like Olsen, who performed exceptionally well. He humorously compares Brady’s situation to that of Mitch Trubisky, noting how Brady’s fame and paycheck inevitably heighten the scrutiny he faces in this new role. Along the way, Jared also discusses the pressures of living up to expectations and how even a giant like Brady has to grapple with that reality.

The episode continues with Jared's response to watching the debate. Focusing on Kamala Harris’s approach and how it contrasts with other candidates. The host praises Harris’s emphasis on concrete numbers and rational discourse, highlighting her line about serving the American people as a refreshing change from the usual political rhetoric.

The conversation then shifts to a humorous take on recent celebrity news, specifically Elon Musk’s bizarre offer to Taylor Swift following her endorsement of Kamala Harris. The host examines the peculiarities of Musk's statement and its reception by fans, before delving into a review of Taylor Swift’s clever response to a misleading AI endorsement.

The episode wraps up with a look at some quirky tabloid stories, including Dax Shepard’s playful denial of swinger rumors and a headline about Luann de Lesseps’ defense of Shannon Beador in a facelift-related spat. The host shares insights on these stories, adding a comedic twist to the pop culture commentary.
