Today on Fake the Nation, comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by fellow Wait Wait Don't Tell Me comedian Helen Hong and co-host of the podcast Text Me Back, Meagan Hatcher Mays. Together they talk about data that shows difficult people AGE you faster! Obviously! But also it's fun that there's now data to prove it. In politics, they take a more macro view of the right by asking whether we have reached end stage polarization AND whether MAGA has entered its cringe era? (And maybe those are one in the same question??) And finally, they talk about a study that reveals the secret to having a lot of friends in adulthood... Enjoy!
