   Jenny Jones: It's Not So Hot to Enhance What You've Got!

   It's Aug 1998 and we've all come to Jenny Jones to discuss TEEN BOOB JOBS! It's wild to watch in hindsight, it's difficult to fathom the producer's reasoning, and it all makes me want to take a scalding shower immediately. Join me as I unpack/snark on this dumpster fire! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.

   Ricki Lake: Your fiance's a jerk... I object to this ridiculous wedding!

   Ricki Lake delivers both some serious (but also very unserious) toxicity in the form of possible marriages and the people around them, and some very unfortunate late 90's haircuts. Please be advised, no one present is stupid, snoopy, stoopy, or anything in between Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.
