Finding and reacting to stories that don’t seem real. (Comedy & Satire News Show)

    Who is Eric Adams? (w/ Nice Guy)

    Who is Eric Adams? (w/ Nice Guy)

    We recorded this episode twice... You'll see why.

    We welcome back Jonah Peters of Nice Guy clothing, he now has three appearances on the podcast, more than any other guest.

    Today we react to a few weird news stories we found online, starting with a Korean man who was caught having s*x with a pink Tesla. (11:08)

    We watch the trailer for a new queer planet animal documentary coming out soon (who knows maybe we'll do a reaction video to that). (19:14)

    Then to close out we react to some of the funniest moments from Mayor Eric Adams, in light of his comments about migrants being great swimmers. (43:10)

    "You Skrange" (w/ Fya Man & Bella Blaq)

    "You Skrange" (w/ Fya Man & Bella Blaq)

    This week I welcome on two very talented artists from America, Fya Man who is a writer and producer that has worked with Kanye, Jay Z, NLE Choppa and others. Along with Bella Blaq who's an MC from Georgia making waves through not just her bars but also unique marketing strategies.

    Today we talk about that time Fya Man pranked Kanye while working on Donda. We react to some odd stories we found on the internet, like a Chicago man who is suing 27 women from the Facebook group 'Are We Dating the Same Guy?'.

    Keeping on the relationships beat, we find a trend going around of women putting nicotine patches on their boyfriends so they'll be addicted to them. Also Trump supporters are now wearing Diapers in support of claims that Donald Trump wears them himself.

    She's the New Jesus (w/ Sterling Scott)

    She's the New Jesus (w/ Sterling Scott)

    This week we are joined by one of Canada's best comedians, coming off winning the Golden Buzzer at Canada's Got Talent; Sterling Scott.


    We talk about how much money (or Bitcoin) we would get shot for before diving into some odd stories happening around the world. We react to an American man who faked his death to avoid child support (22:42), as well as how people leverage child support as a lottery (7:35).



    New York has a rat problem, which is nothing new. But introducing rat birth control is now on the table to solve the issue (30:45). We also react to a Taylor Swift fan who was crying and drooling over the new Taylor Swift album.

    To close it out on a wholesome note, we talk about Sterling's Golden Buzzer win at Canada's Got Talent. We find out about the inspiring behind the scenes challenges and how he bet on himself.
