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

This week on the podcast, Jen and Karyn dive into one of Thanksgiving’s most popular traditions: the cousin walk. Are you taking one this year…or pretending you have no idea what everyone’s talking about? 😅 Plus, Susan Powter is back, and there’s a new Netflix documentary to prove it!

Also on deck: Kash Patel has reportedly used SWAT teams to protect his girlfriend, the Trump administration sets its sights on Mark Kelly, a surprising number of top MAGA accounts on X aren’t even based in the United States, and Gen Z is trying to make smoking cool again. 🤨

And finally, the results are in on the most infuriating airport behavior, and a Campbell’s Soup executive gets caught trash-talking both the company and its customers in a secret recording.

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. An extended video version with the “Hot Mess of the Week” is available to paid Substack subscribers. Visit meetthemess.substack.com for more.
