Move over, Meet the Press—it’s time to MEET THE MESS!
This week on the podcast, RFK Jr. wants to send people on anti-depressants, ADHD meds, and weight-loss drugs to camps — so guess it’s time to pack up! (Maybe the mafia will take us?) And, Jen and Karyn weigh in on Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl show, JD Vance’s embarrassing speech in Europe, and “Crazy Eyes” Kash Patel inching closer to confirmation.
Plus, a quick PSA for those easily gaslit: It’s called the Gulf of Mexico and has been since 1550. And, according to Sovereign Limits (a database of international boundaries), the United States lays claim to 46% of the gulf, while Mexico lays claim to 49% — so it’s more Mexican than American!
In other pressing news, Luigi Mangione has a new website, Karyn and Jen get to the bottom of whether or not you can send nudes to prisoners (don't do it), candles might be making you dumber, and men are getting their downstairs plumped now too!
Finally, looking for something to take your mind off the fall of democracy? If so, we’ve got you covered with four amazing animal stories:
Karyn’s dog Mary Margaret is a viral sensation!
New Orleans' most-wanted fugitive, Scrim the dog, has finally been captured!
An opossum went full goblin mode on an entire Costco cake and had to be hospitalized.
A monkey named Xing Xing has one arm and a smile that will steal your heart!
