Move over, Meet the Press—it’s time to Meet the Mess!

This week on the podcast: Shaboozey accidentally photobombs a wedding while river rafting, and Lindsey Graham’s sister proves you don’t have to know anything about politics to get into politics.

Also, a masked man terrorizes a Philadelphia neighborhood, Trump’s gal pal Natalie Harp writes creepy letters, and a group of Italian grandmas shares their secrets to the good life. Plus, what are we supposed to do after work besides scroll on our phones until bedtime? Find out!

Then, Jen and Karyn look back at insane Gen X field trips (visits to nuclear plants and cigarette factories were popular), and a 13-year-old is charged with assault after a PE dodgeball game.

And finally, hear all about Karyn’s latest obsession: BUYING DIAMONDS ON TIKTOK. (It’s not as extravagant as it sounds.)
