Welcome to Franklin and Douglas Podcast Ep 56 – the comedy show where current events meet bad advice every single week. In this episode, we dive into the latest Silicon Valley drama starring none other than Mark Zuckerberg. His Palo Alto neighbors are fed up with the nonstop construction noise from his mega-compound, and his attempt at peace — handing out noise-cancelling headphones — only made headlines louder. We break down the bizarre story, the public’s reactions, and what it says about billionaire logic in 2025.
Then it’s time for our signature bad advice. This week’s dilemma: how to tell your neighbor you don’t want to be friends. From passive-aggressive lawn decorations to sending mixed signals with barbecue invitations, we explore every wrong way to avoid awkward neighborhood friendships.
If you’re into funny current events podcasts, satirical tech commentary, and comedy advice that should never be followed, this episode is for you.
