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

This week on the podcast (Part 1 of 2): Jen and Karyn hop on the viral jalapeño and white wine trend — and end up a little tipsy. Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s reign of terror in Washington might finally be over. Hear about the drug use allegations, the mystery behind his black eye, and the wild rumor that he’s allegedly romantically involved with both Stephen Miller and his wife, Katie.

Also: Senator Joni Ernst manages to remind everyone what a terrible person she is — and then somehow makes it worse.

But it’s not all chaos! In good news, Taylor Swift officially owns her entire music catalog (yay, Taylor!), Karyn eats an alarming number of cookies while investigating the latest cookie scandal, and Jen listens to some hilarious celebrity encounter stories featuring Tracy Morgan, Steven Tyler, Mac Miller, Theo James, and Emile Hirsch — even though she’s not quite sure who all of them are.

Check back TOMORROW for Part 2!

On Meet the Mess, bestselling authors Jen Lancaster & Karyn Bosnak dive into the messiest news stories and hottest topics of the week to give a fresh and entertaining take on current events and life in general.
