    Kacey Musgraves Is Horney and Liv And Mia Tyler's Sister Discovery - POP CULTURE THURSDAY - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

    Pop Culture Thursday! This week Jared dives into the clickiest headlines from Kacey Musgraves’ horniness going viral to a wild family revelation involving Steven Tyler, a rock concert hookup, and a paternity surprise years in the making. Yep, Liv and Mia might have a new sister, and Jared’s got thoughts. He breaks down the timing, the fallout, and the awkward logistics, especially for the guy who thought he was the dad. Then it’s onto the Aimee Lou Wood SNL dental drama as Jared defends the right to joke well (but calls out lazy punchlines) and talks about the fine line between iconic and low-hanging fruit. Later, he reacts to a Bravo producer’s claim that reality TV gets less fun when the stars go sober. Jared explores why audiences crave mess and the impossible challenge of being entertaining and stable on camera. Plus, here's a quick take on And Just Like That’s new trailer. Why does no Samantha equal no fun? All that plus some advice emails, a plug for Friday’s Coffee with JTrain featuring a golf nightmare, and a reminder to like, comment, and subscribe.

    Coachella Clients & Cosmic Signs with Ally Lewber - CHIT CHAT WEDNESDAY - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

    It’s a Chit Chat Wednesday, and Jared is joined by Ally Lewber! She is a spiritual astrologer, model, entertainment industry pro, and host of the upcoming podcast Starstruck. You might also recognize her from Vanderpump Rules, where she shares her life and relationship with James Kennedy, but today she’s here to talk about something even more mystical: astrology. Beyond reality TV, Ally is a passionate advocate for personal growth, healing, and cosmic connection. In her private practice, she blends intuition with astrology to offer guidance through birth chart readings and cosmic coaching. Jared and Ally dive into the often-misunderstood world of star signs, birth charts, and celestial insight. They talk about how astrology helped Ally find her purpose, the kinds of people she loves working with, and why haters of astrology are often missing the point. Plus, Ally explains the basics of sun, moon, and rising signs — and what being a Pisces really says about Jared. They also get into Ally’s experience on reality TV, the kind of client who might approach her at Coachella, and why astrology can be a tool for empowerment, not a punchline.

    Restaurant Charcuterie and Tap To Pay - TICKED OFF TUESDAY - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

    It’s a Ticked Off Tuesday! First up, a listener calls for standardized coffee cup sizes across all cafes. Is it a medium or a small? Why does a “large” at one place feel like a “small” at another? Jared weighs in on the daily chaos of caffeine inconsistency. Then, we head to the slopes of Mont Tremblant, where the only thing colder than the weather was the food. One listener shares their disappointment over flavorless fries, bland pasta, and a serious lack of seasoning. And finally, a group of sisters go out for a nice dinner and are served a charcuterie board that looked like leftovers from another table. Jared reviews the attached photo and gives his take on what is and definitely isn't charcuterie-worthy. Tune in for relatable rants, some hard truths about fancy food, and Jared’s unfiltered reactions to your most frustrating (and hilarious) complaints. Support the podcast by supporting our sponsors!

    I'm hooking up with my ex! Help! - MONDAY MAILBAG - The JTrain Podcast w Jared Freid

    It’s a Mailbag Monday and Jared’s here to help two listeners navigate their romantic gray areas! First, a listener is stuck in a limbo with her ex, who she’s been reconnecting with after their breakup in October 2023. Although they’ve been texting consistently and even got physical a few times, she still doesn’t know where they stand. Jared dives into how she can take control of the situation and have the important conversation to gain clarity without fearing rejection. Next, another listener writes in about lingering thoughts of a past situationship, even though she’s in a committed relationship and about to get engaged. She still checks his social media and wonders if these thoughts are signs of unresolved closure, or just a harmless curiosity. Jared unpacks what it means when a past relationship resurfaces in your mind, and how to keep your focus on the love you have in the present. Tune in for advice on tackling those tough conversations and understanding when your past is just a memory—plus how to handle the uncertainty that can come with moving forward.
