The man who tricked the world into sharing fake news - We're All Gonna Die - Sept. 23, 2018

Fake news has plagued the political landscape since the 2016 election, and no one seems to have figured out how to defeat it. But we can clown on it, which is precisely what guest Justin Hook, a comedy writer based in LA, has done with his Fake News Generator. Choose an image, a headline, a brief description, and a real-enough-sounding website, and share extremely dumb fake news with your friends! Hook talks to the gang about his project, and whether we’ll ever figure out how to deal with real fake news. Plus, memes of the week.
