Summary

This week Kail sits down with Jazmin Knighton from MTV’s My Super Sweet 16 for a raw, 20-years-later conversation that goes way beyond the glitz and the glam. Jazmin opens up about being adopted as a teen , reconnecting with biological family, how reality TV edited her voice, and the fallout of internet comments before social media exploded. They unpack foster-care failures, sibling resentment, breaking generational cycles, and what that experience means for Jazmin's motherhood today. Plus: the girls discuss early 20s trends and decide if they're still hot OR not. This episode is honest, vulnerable, and full of perspective for anyone who’s lived through family chaos and built something different.
