Summary

Maureen Callahan goes all in on Lena Dunham's softball NYT's interview with David Marchese, taking apart his questions that cater to Lena Dunham's agenda, Lena's failure to be honest about herself, her unhealthy relationship with her parents, her glaring health problem that is never mentioned, and her self-hatred veiled in female empowerment. Maureen also rips into Sarah Jessica Parker's Instagram post about the return of Artemis II before reading through Troublemaker feedback about Meghan Markle's dress code refusal, Jon Hamm's past offenses, and Tiger Woods' drug addiction. Then Maureen is joined by Producer Marlaina for a catch-up on an alleged Tiger Woods sighting, why we haven't landed on the moon since 1969, and Mel Robbins' latest edition of useless information.
