Together, they discuss coffee sellers getting all up in your protein count. Plus, why is Trump walking out of interviews, what do this week's primaries tell us, and they ask if we're still at war with Iran. Finally, they theorize on 2028 - would Jon Ossoff make a good candidate? Can we handle a female nominee again? So many questions!

This week on Fake the Nation comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by the co-hosts of the podcast Debt Heads, Jamie Alyson Feldman & Rachel Webster! Together, they look at how the system gets us into debt and why that, frankly, sucks. They also look at the decline of the regional accent - more R's in Bostonian English, less twang in Texas - and the TikTok stars who are using regional accents to attract a following. Plus, CBS's lauded 60 Minutes is gutted, Trump's Freedom 250 concert is getting cancelled and there's pushback to... everything he does. Finally, does Graham Platner's sexting scandal matter? Enjoy!

Comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by comedian and host of the War Report podcast, Shalewa Sharpe. She's also joined by host of the America Actually podcast, Astead Herndon. Together, they talk about the unrelenting onslaught of the Clip Economy - which inspires many guttural utterances by the panel. They ask the question on all our minds: is France poorer than America?? They eke out a little electoral optimism from South Carolina and Texas... of all places. And, finally, Data Centers -- they’re being built and spoiler, they kinda suck.

On this week's Fake the Nation, comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by host of the Sporkful podcast, Dan Pashman! They talk about what Stephen Colbert's departure means for late night and what it has meant for the world of political humor and *the* *discourse.* They also look at Trump's breathtaking volume of stock trades and even more breath-taking-her settlement with the IRS. Finally, new data shows that men are spending more time with their kids. Really though!

This week on Fake the Nation, comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by comedian Katie Hannigan and host of the How To podcast, Mike Pesca. On this episode, the panel valiantly tackles the rise of the "Refresher" - what is it and are you drinking it through your mouth hole in large quantities? They also look at the Virginia Supreme Court's utter gall, the Iran War that can't stop won't stop, and Transportation Sean Duffy's new reality show. Plus, can we all hop on board "Ballroom Republicans" as a go-to label to describe this era of GOP politics? It's a good one, guys.

Today on Fake the Nation, comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by comedian/author Mindy Raf and historian/author Joseph S. Moore. Together, they discuss the legacy of Ted Turner, the possible reboot of The Apprentice, the gutting of the Voting Rights Act, the gosh darned Ballroom, and whether the first wave of school cell phone bans worked. Plus, Joseph S. Moore, this episode's resident historian, gives us a reason to feel optimistic - which is the most Fake-the-Nation-ist thing he could have possibly done!
