Government Shutdown, Lily Allen & David Harbour Breakup, TikTok Slang, LA Dodgers, SNAP Cuts, Billboard Brides, Renting Grandmas, and More!
Description
Move over, Meet the Press—it’s time to MEET THE MESS!
This week on the podcast, Jen and Karyn discuss the government shutdown, rising health insurance premiums, and the looming freeze on SNAP benefits!
In pop culture news, hear about the new Lily Allen album that details her messy split from actor David Harbour, and how a shocking number of leading men don’t wear underpants.
Plus, would you rent a billboard to find a husband? One Bay Area woman did and it’s kind of working. Also, hear how reading transformed the life of a former prisoner, why people in Japan are renting grandmas, and how wine lovers are literally working for their vino.
Meanwhile, Karyn goes down a rabbit hole trying to decode the latest TikTok buzz words: 6–7, white trash cheekbones, low-income eyes, and rich white girl eyes. And don’t miss the feel-good baseball moment of how a little-known Dodger led the team to victory in Game 3 of the World Series.
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.
