Trump vs. Putin, RFK’s E. Coli Outbreak, Kris Jenner’s Deep Plane Facelift, Fetterman Feels Shamed, Is Justin Bieber Broke?, Potato Chips from China, and More!

Podcast: Episode 52

Move over, Meet the Press—it’s time to MEET THE MESS!

This week on the podcast, Trump called Putin crazy — and now Russian bots are trolling him. Meanwhile, RFK Jr. is keeping quiet about an E. coli outbreak, and John Fetterman says he feels "shamed" into returning to work. Um sir, that's literally your job.

In other news, Kris Jenner reportedly got a deep plane facelift — and honestly, she looks amazing. Plus, it’s an AI triple threat: one bot resorted to blackmail to avoid being shut down, a major newspaper recommended fake AI-generated books, and a new tool is rating people’s hotness — including Jen, Karyn, and Mary Lou Retton.

Also this week, Karyn and Jen taste-test potato chips from China in flavors like squid, crayfish, and garlic oyster; Jen celebrates the 100th anniversary of the National Spelling Bee by butchering some truly difficult words; and meet Jen’s SECOND foster fail, Moose! Oh, and hear the story of Jen’s time piercing ears at the mall’s Piercing Pagoda (which wasn’t exactly up to health code).
