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

This week on the podcast, MAGA turns on Trump after he posts an unhinged image of himself as Jesus, questions swirl about whether his administration threatened the Pope, and Melania delivers a very convincing denial about Epstein involvement. (Sure, Jan.)

Meanwhile, Meta unveils a Mark Zuckerberg AI chatbot so employees can experience the thrill of “talking” to their boss, Lena Dunham releases a new book and wonders why everyone hates her, and “Barbie Dream Fest” turns out to be less dream, more nightmare.

In good news (we promise it exists!), Artemis II safely returns to Earth and briefly restores our faith in humanity, Justin Bieber casually pulls in $10 million headlining Coachella, and Jen and Karyn snag tickets to the LA28 Olympics! Hear which events made their list.

And finally, a gentle reminder: if you fall into the crocodile pit at Disney World… you’re on your own, kid.

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.
