This week Fake the Nation's Negin Farsad is joined by Benari Lee Poulten and Danielle Durchslag to recap Season 4 Episode 5 of Succession, "Kill List." In this episode, the gang goes to Norway where they try to bleed the Swede, sweat in saunas, and learn about frozen liters of blood. It's a weird one!

We're celebrating spring break over here at Fake the Nation - but we've gathered a couple really great segments from the vault to share with you all. First up, we have Margaret Cho and Sam Sanders joining us to discuss the happiest and least stressful jobs in America. And for our second segment we have Alex Berg and Seena Ghaznavi who joined us to talk about gym etiquette and the eternal question if you should invite two people to a party that you know hate each other.
