Whoopi's Hot Take, Ukraine, Queen Camilla and Future Olympic Locations I World's Smartest Podcast Roundtable Feb 15, 2022

Show notes

We get the World's Smartest Podcast Network gang of Andrew Heaton and Dr. Andrea Jones-Rooy back for another roundtable, this time live and on location at the Friars Club in NYC. In the span of one hour we fix the problem of "Who should host the Olympics in the future when every host country loses money on it?", "Should Prince Charles' wife Camilla become Queen even though most people hate her?", "Should America be isolationist or interventionist when it comes to Ukraine and Russia?" and "Is Whoopi Goldberg's view of race in line with most Americans when she says Jews are white people?". Enjoy.

Lost In America is hosted by us AKA Turner Sparks and Michael Ira Kaplan.

Fabrizio Copano: Chile Has a Millennial Commie President I 256 Jan 11, 2022

Show notes

Apologies on the bad sound this episode. Turner thought his mic was plugged in the whole time and apparently it wasn't, so this is the best we could do to recapture the conversation. Next week everything will be back to normal. On with the show...

Fabrizio Copano is a Chilean superstar comedian who also happens to be friends with the new president of Chile, Gabriel Boric. They are of similar age (both early 30's) and when our comedian Fabrizio was coming up in the college comedy circuit, President Boric was coming up in the college politics circuit. Today Fabrizio tells us why we shouldn't be scared of a left-wing president who has ties to the communist party but doesn't identify as a communist. Enjoy.

Chino Liao: Manny Pacquiao Might Be The Philippines' Next President, and That's Not the Craziest Option I 252 Nov 19, 2021

Show notes

Senator/ Boxer Manny Pacquiao is running for the President of The Philippines against a team of Sara Duterte and Ferdinand Marcos Junior aka Bong Bong Marcos. If those names sound familiar it's because Manny Pacquiao is one of the best boxers in world history, Sara Duterte is the daughter of current President/ madman Rodrigo Duterte and Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is the son of former Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos who stole $10 Billion USD from the country and was sent into exile in 1986. If Manny wins he will send Sara's Dad to the International Criminal Court, and if Ferdinand Jr. and Sara win the country might slip back into dictatorship. Here to sort it all out is our man in Manila, the hilarious Philippine comedian Chino Liao. Check out Chino's podcasts Class Clown on Spotify and The Wrestling Wrestling Podcast on Patreon.
