About this listen

Hosted by Negin Farsad, everyone's favorite Iranian American Muslim Comedian Podcast Host with Black Hair and Red Glasses, Fake the Nation is a comedy show that isn't afraid to talk about news, culture, and humanity’s weirdness. Every week Negin is joined by her funniest, smartest, and most politically astute friends. People like Samantha Bee, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Paula Poundstone, Margaret Cho, Larry Wilmore and others. They’ll make you laugh, think, and deliver a gut punch to the country we all love, America. It's like a really fun dinner party where nothing is off limits but you don’t have to pretend to like salad.

    494. Beefing Waymos Better than Human Drivers? (w/Brian Babylon and Andrew Ti)
    Dec 18 2025

    This week on Fake the Nation, comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by comedian/fashion designer Brian Babylon and comedian/podcaster Andrew Ti. They talk about the new batch of data on self-driving cars, apparently they do much better than human drivers! So should we all be embracing the driverless car? Also, Indiana took a stand against mid-decade gerrymandering, RFK hearts Hep B, and finally, Europe can't get people to have babies.
