Follow the De Niro (ZERO DAY, 2025)

from Fake Presidents · host Buchman and Oren

In Netflix's 6-part series ZERO DAY, Robert De Niro plays a former U.S President with cognitive issues (who chose not to run for reelection), and Angela Bassett is a current U.S. President with a great wardrobe. Together they must figure out who perpetrated the greatest, deadliest hack in U.S. history! Well, actually, it's mostly just De Niro doing the figuring and the outing. Joan Allen, Jesse Plemons, and Connie Britton round out De Niro's inner circle, while Lizzy Caplan and Matthew Modine are members of congress "just asking questions" about De Niro's investigative operation. But the biggest, most pressing question of all... Why does Ben feel the need to do his Randy Newman impression in this episode?!

Roundball Rock Roundball Rock Roundball Rock is a comedy podcast about the rumors, hearsay, ins, and yes, outs of NBA basketball. Hosted by comedy writers and NBA junkies Sean Keane and Joey Devine, every week Sean and Joey joke about everything that happened in the world of basketball except what happened in the games, because they are definitely not experts and nothing is more boring than analytics. From episode to episode, Roundball Rock always provides an NBA related surprise, whether it's one of your favorite basketball writers (like Kelly Dwyer, David Roth, Zach Harper), hilarious comedians (like David Gborie, Chris Garcia, Josh Gondelman, Megan Gailey), parodies, long form sketches, or fake ad reads. In a world where NBA podcasts can all sound the same from week to week, Roundball Rock strives to create something unique, smart, dumb, hilarious, and fun, which is exactly what makes us the 88th most popular sports podcast in Senegal. Basketball is fun, and stats are not.https://feed.pippa.io/publ Explicit Fake Doctors, Real Friends with Zach and Donald iHeartPodcasts You know what's long, tedious and boring? Surgery.
