Fast Food and Cold Caffeine (w/Cody Linquist and Charlie Linquist)

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??
