Move over, Meet the Press—it’s time to MEET THE MESS!
This week on the podcast (Part 2 of 2): Jen and Karyn share more hilarious celebrity encounter stories, all while still sipping jalapeño wine and watching Karyn devour an alarming number of Oreos.
Plus, Jen reveals why she has a pocket full of hot dogs (Karyn’s favorite moment of the entire episode). They also debut a new segment called "What’s the Prompt?" where they ask AI bizarre questions and discuss how AI can reinforce harmful ideas!
Also discussed: Trump spreads a wild conspiracy claiming Biden has been replaced by a clone! RFK, Jr. cites fake sources in a recent report! Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence’s kids got married! More than half of the top 100 mental health TikTok videos contain misinformation! And, cancer experts sound the alarm on people rejecting traditional treatments in favor of coffee enemas and juice diets.
