508. Hurting People and Doing Ballrooms Since 2025 (w/Helen Hong and Meagan Hatcher Mays)

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!
