This week on Fake the Nation, comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by Politico's White House Bureau Chief, Dasha Burns and comedian and host of the critically acclaimed Crossword Show, Zach Sherwin. Together they ask whether smoking is cool again and whether TikTok skincare routines are actually ruining our skin. In politics, they talk about the Iran-Israel conflict, Trump's military parade, and the No Kings protest. And finally, a chaser to end the show: is Happy Hour a relic of the past?
