We're right in the middle of Act 2 of the rolling Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni drama and our goldfish tendencies are showing. Jessie connects all the dots and explains a peculiar internet theory.

Plus, the neggy dating advice you should almost certainly ignore. 

And, we've cracked the code. As it turns out, there's a direct (but chaotic) line from "Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!" to "My wife isn't my type!" How MAFS became the spiritual successor to The Jerry Springer Show (and why we can't look away).

Listen to our latest episode: Scurrilous Gossip: The Aniston-Obama "Affair"
Listen: Emergency Meeting: The Blake Lively Smear Campaign Unpacked
Listen: Divorce? You're Not Alone
