On this week's Fake the Nation, comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by comedian/podcaster George Civeris and comedian/horror guru Jon Schnitzer! Together they discuss the controversy behind the Riyadh Comedy Festival and ask, are we all Taylor Swift-ed out? They also talk about Trump's obsession with troop deployments in Chicago and Portland and wonder, is Marjorie Taylor Greene sometimes reasonable? And finally, are chatbots leading to divorce?
