   🎙️ THAT’S ABSURD PODCAST ❓ QUESTION OF THE WEEK What’s the Best Scam in Recent History? From elaborate romance scams to fake identities, financial schemes, and people building entire careers around deception—some scams are almost unbelievable. What scam had you saying, “I can't even be mad…that was clever”? What's the most elaborate scam you've ever heard about? Does a scam become less crazy when the victim willingly participates? What's the difference between being gullible and simply trusting someone? Could you recognize a scam if it was happening to you? Let's talk scams! 📰 NOTABLE NEWS 🏈 The Fake NFL Player Scam A man has reportedly been arrested after allegedly pretending to be a former NFL player while targeting women. Romance scams continue to raise questions about how easily someone can create an entirely fake identity online—and how long people can maintain the lie before getting caught. How much investigating should you do before trusting somebody you meet online? 🏛️ POLITICS 🌍 The Map Debate A claim circulating online says the United Nations voted 164–1 to move away from the Mercator projection in favor of an “Equal Earth” map. We examine the viral claim and the bigger conversation surrounding how maps represent the world.

   Episode 386: Wicked

   🔥 Question of the Week Has the Trans Community Co-Opted the Black Female Aesthetic? From hairstyles and makeup to fashion, body trends, mannerisms, and social-media culture, there’s a growing debate over who gets credited for Black female aesthetics. Is the trans community borrowing and repackaging an aesthetic that originated with Black women? Or is this simply the natural evolution and exchange of culture? We get into: Cultural influence vs. cultural appropriation Who gets credit for creating popular aesthetics? Why do some trends become mainstream only after other groups adopt them? Is imitation the highest form of flattery—or erasure? This one is guaranteed to spark a conversation. 📰 NOTABLE NEWS 💰 Support Pours in for Lindsay Clancy Thousands of women have reportedly rallied behind Lindsay Clancy, raising more than $1 million in support for the Massachusetts mother who killed her three children and later claimed she was suffering from severe mental illness.

Where should compassion end and accountability begin? 🏛️ POLITICS 🗳️ Byron Wins Florida Republican Gubernatorial Primary Byron Donalds emerges victorious in Florida's Republican primary for governor.
