Hosted by Negin Farsad, everyone's favorite Iranian American Muslim Comedian Podcast Host with Black Hair and Red Glasses, Fake the Nation is a comedy show that isn't afraid to talk about news, culture, and humanity’s weirdness. Every week Negin is joined by her funniest, smartest, and most politically astute friends. People like Samantha Bee, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Paula Poundstone, Margaret Cho, Larry Wilmore and others. They’ll make you laugh, think, and deliver a gut punch to the country we all love, America. It's like a really fun dinner party where nothing is off limits but you don’t have to pretend to like salad.
This week host Negin Farsad is back from vacation and takes on Trump's Big Shitiful Bill. She also asks if Elon Musk is the right person to launch an ever elusive 3rd Party. Also in this ep: can you ask your waiter where they’re from? And finally a MAGA summit designed to lure younger women into the fold with the promise of "less burnout and more babies." Joining Negin is the excellent comedian and cartoonist for the New Yorker, Emily Flake & comedian Jim Tews, who's new special "Jim Tews with Pictures" is a must watch. We here at Fake the Nation try to make the stressful parts of political and cultural life less stressful so, enjoy!
