It's Pop Culture Thursday! from the West Village, Manhattan! Jared dives into the latest in celebrity news, quirky events, and a wild mix of pop culture headlines. Jared starts off the pod with an upcoming trip to Tulsa, Oklahoma, for five comedy shows and a guest spot on the I’ve Had It podcast with Jennifer Welch and Pumps. Jared shares his thoughts on personal style (inside pants vs. outside pants, anyone?) and dishes out plenty of sharp, self-aware humor.

A deep dive into the hilarity of lookalike contests, including Chicago’s Jeremy Allen White lookalike competition, complete with blue aprons and cigarettes. Jared suggests Blake Lively’s PR team might want to take notes from Timothy Chalamet’s surprise appearance at his own lookalike event! 😂

We learn Lamar Odom’s eyebrow-raising confession about a custom sex doll resembling his ex-wife Khloé Kardashian—cue the awkward laughs and Jared’s sharp commentary.

Jared discusses the backlash surrounding rumors about Pete Davidson’s alleged rehab stint and brief fling with The Bachelor alum Maria Gorgas. While Gorgas vehemently denies the claims, Jared reflects on her tendency to respond to headlines with bold, unfiltered statements, drawing parallels to her “no-apology” attitude from The Bachelor. He also touches on Pete’s struggles with addiction, empathizing with both parties while critiquing the clickbait culture around mental health.

Jared comments on more Kardashian news! The Kardashian kids are growing up! Mason Disick, 14, towers over his mom Kourtney during a grocery run. Jared notes how even mundane outings like this become headline news, reflecting on the obsession with Kardashian family updates. He goes on to comment on Singer Sabrina Carpenter stuns in a $350 Aritzia coat after her LA show. Jared jokes about the coat being relatively affordable compared to her typically extravagant outfits, speculating that the article doubles as a sneaky ad for the brand. Jared wraps up with thoughts on the viral SNL “Domingo” sketch. While he doesn’t find the content groundbreaking, he acknowledges its catchy charm and how TikTok’s sound-driven appeal keeps sketches like this trending.

Comedy legend Jay Leno’s misadventures continue—this time, a tumble down a hill leaves him bruised and bandaged. Jared shares admiration for Leno’s legacy, recalling his reputation as one of the hardest-working and kindest comics in the business, while humorously questioning why a 74-year-old is scaling steep hills.
