Tis the season for a bonus! We're dropping in an extra topic in the feed because that's how podcasters celebrate the holidays! Today, comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by Cody Lindquist (Showtime's Our Cartoon President) and comedian/director Charlie Todd (Improv Everywhere founder) to discuss the Wish-List-ification of gift giving. We also ask, is there actually any joy left in giving gifts?? May you enjoy this pod... as you struggle to finish buying all your gifts.

This week Fake the Nation comes to you from P&T Podcast Studio and Bookstore in New York's Lower East side. Comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by comedian/actor Cody Lindquist (Showtime's Our Cartoon President) and comedian/director Charlie Todd (Improv Everywhere founder) and they address the question on all our minds, why are Mormon women all over television and social media right now?? They also discuss baby's new Trump Account and whether "affordability is a hoax" is a sustainable argument for the Republican party. Hint: it isn't. And finally, they dig into the Netflix bid and the hostile Paramount bid to take over Warner Bros Discovery. Does it mean higher prices and/or the death of theatrical films??

Visit P&T Bookstore when you're in town!

This week on Fake the Nation, comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by journalist/podcaster Nayeema Raza (Smart Girl Dumb Questions) and comedian/podcaster Pete Dominick (Standup With Pete Dominick). Together, they discuss new research about the behavior of cats! And, they ask if it's suddenly very embarrassing to have a boyfriend. On the political front, they look at the changes in policy for asylum seekers and green card holders. Plus, what do we do about Pete Hegseth's war-crimey leadership? Finally, Costco is suing the Trump administration over tariffs... because it turns out businesses haven't liked these tariffs. It's a banger. Enjoy!
