  1. Links to news stories from...

Kind of misleading headline. She went out of her way to explain to the interviewer that it had nothing to do with marijuana and she was going to treat it as though he had asked who would be fun to be around, like who she would get a pedicure with or something like that.

To recap - a podcast host asks her who she would smoke a blunt with, she pointedly reframes the question, The Hill picks it up and runs a headline implying that she wants to smoke a blunt with Dwayne Johnson anyways.
