About this Episode
This week on The Snark Factor, Fingers Malloy and Sarah Smith look back at the challenge of doing a pre-recorded show when the news cycle refuses to cooperate — like last week, when the U.S. went to war with Iran after the show had already been recorded.
In this episode:
• The fallout and meme war surrounding the U.S. strikes on Iran
• A reshuffling at Homeland Security and the politics around it
• Polymarket pulling a betting market on whether a nuclear weapon would be detonated this year
• A disturbing case involving a Wisconsin teenager accused of plotting to assassinate President Trump with a drone
• A grocery store parking lot scam that can drain your bank account in seconds
• Los Angeles giving the Brady Bunch house historic landmark status
• Britney Spears headlines and the strange world of celebrity news
Politics, internet culture, scams, and a few unexpected detours — just another Sunday morning on The Snark Factor.
