People Magazine Names John Krasinski Sexiest Man Alive - JTrain Podcast Reaction! - POP CULTURE THURSDAY - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

It's POP CULTURE THURSDAY !! This week on the JTrain Podcast, Jared Freid dives into People Magazine's announcement of John Krasinski as the "Sexiest Man Alive." In his signature Pop Culture Thursday style, Jared takes us through a mix of headlines and hot takes as he reacts to the news, questions the choice, and humorously dissects the ongoing debate around celebrity sex appeal. Jared also reflects on the timeless appeal of Krasinski and how his marriage to Emily Blunt might contribute to his "sexiness."

The episode doesn’t stop there—Jared also shares insights on "B Movies with the Baby," his recurring guest segment that rates low-stakes flicks, especially for those curious if they're worth a plane watch. Plus, Jared reflects on male versus female sex appeal, from Sabrina Carpenter’s “female beauty” to Sydney Sweeney’s “guy hot” aura, breaking down why these differences spark such spirited conversations.

Jared dives into the world of People’s “Sexiest Man Alive” and the very real anxieties that come with holding such a title. He jokes about how men receiving this kind of recognition are just asking to be teased—especially by their friends. Jared shares a hilarious story of how any compliment he receives, like losing weight, gets instantly undermined by his dad. In 2021, Paul Rudd was named “Sexiest Man Alive” and even he worried about being mocked for it! The conversation moves to Jared’s dad, whose response to any compliment for Jared seems to be endless jokes at his expense😅

Jared calls out “The Baby,” the JTrain’s movie correspondent. The Baby, known for his hilarious obsession with Glen Powell, had written a whole dissertation on Powell being the obvious choice for “Sexiest Man Alive” over the newly crowned John Krasinski👑 In his passionate response, The Baby crowns Powell as the JTrain’s first-ever “Sexiest Man Alive.” This leads Jared to declare that the JTrain will now give out its own annual “Sexiest Man Alive” award, a title that Glen Powell proudly holds as the inaugural winner!!! 🏆

Then, the discussion takes a nostalgic look back at past winners, from Mel Gibson to Mark Harmon, as Jared reflects on how the “Sexiest Man Alive” honor has evolved 😂🏆🙌 The conversation closes with musings on how each era had its own definition of sexy, leading Jared to a humorous exploration of who’s made the list over the years.
