Summary

This week on Fake the Nation we talk about a French beach town that wants you to keep your clothes on. And, despite our better angels, we do in fact, talk about the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad. Plus, we discuss the Texas gerrymandering kerfuffle and what Democrats should do about it. We vent on Israel and Gaza and we end the show with a ridiculous conversation about Democratic presidential hopefuls. Spoiler, one of the panelists has had a beer with JD Vance. Comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by comedian/podcaster Corey Ryan Forrester and comedian/podcaster Harry Terjanian.

I mean, it seems crazy. Yeah, we're on the same, we're on the same timeline. Because guess what? Neither of us have aged. I'm going to tell you that right now. We both look pretty good.

1:39.3

Hey, Corey. Hello, love. How are you? And I too would like to point out that even I look better than I did 20 years ago when I started doing comedy. We're all aging well. And I do moisturize.
