Hello, hello, this is Fake the Nation a podcast that takes news, culture, and gossip mixes them in a fake the nation stew where they become juicy, tender, and dare I say, enjoyable.

I'm your host and chief conversationalist thinking Farside, and this week we look at the possible comeback of protest music.

We'll talk about what some garbage, other garbage that emanates from our dear leader and other recent political shenanigans.

And finally, Kalshi and Polly Market and the betting on everything.

Today, I'm joined by a professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison,

which has just clasped up the podcast several hundred percent immediately.

He's also host of the podcast, Nerd From the Future.

It's the first time he's been on Fake the Nation.

Oh, and fun fact about Nerd from the Future, it's already got one season in the bank that you could just like binge through in a second season coming out in March.

It is the excellent Ramsey for us. Hey Ramsey.

Hi. Thanks for having me. What a pleasure. Oh my God. So excited to be on with you.

I was so excited that we managed to get you on this show.

Thank you. We also have another panel that's supposed to be on today's show.

But they're having some sort of technical difficulty.

And so while we'll deal with that, we're just going to get things going.

And before we start the show, I just want to remind listeners that they can support the show at patreon.com slash Nagin Farsat for as little as $1 a month.

You support the show and you get nothing in return. That's how my Patreon works, but then at $4, you do get bonuses.

Bonus segments of the show and more bonus segments of the show at the higher levels.

There's like a book and a mug, a t-shirt, whatever, at other levels.

So support the show at patreon.com slash de Kine Farsad, you know, because everything's going to turn

into independent media eventually. And it's like all, all we can do is hope that these

patrons keep people like me alive. Oh, my God. All right.
