Summary

Kara and Scott discuss Paramount's decision to pause its merger with Warner Bros. Discovery, and predict whether the blockbuster deal will ultimately go through. Then, Meta's latest ad campaign puts an optimistic spin on AI, but Scott has a few ideas for better taglines. Plus, Trump's White House Correspondents' Dinner jokes fall flat, and the FDA's decision to ease restrictions helps fuel America's peptide boom.
