🎙️ This might be the biggest, messiest, most custom-produced story for the Progrum: the saga of writer Olivia Nuzzi. There’s a bombshell dropped by her ex-fiancé, Ryan Lizza, and no one expected it. We cover how she left New York magazine, her overly dramatic book, and recent developments.

😘 The fellas discussed the absurdity of the new Mark Sanford revelations, noting that Nuzzi had apparently had a physical relationship with Sanford while profiling him for his 2020 GOP primary bid, and right in the middle of the COVID-19 lockdowns. Plus her Olbermann relationship and brief music career.️

🫏 Then, Jasmine Crockett gets caught in a humiliating lie about Lee Zeldin because there are two men named Jeffrey Epstein. We also covered her utterly terrible attempt at a TikTok meme.
