A zombie JFK expected to run with Trump as Vice Prez (according to Qanon), a man whose birthday scam got him wrapped up in a lawsuit, a functional nostalgic Fisher Price rotary phone made for adults because we are all broken inside, a story about US healthcare fees that were incurred for no reason whatsoever, a man who was eaten by piranhas while trying to escape a swarm of bees, and the "jetpack man". All of this and more on this week's news update! We make zero dollars from this, so leave us a 5 star review if you care. Bye!

A Six Flags hero, a man who is so dedicated to screening his calls that he even does it when he's lost in the wilderness, illegal sprinkles, Daniel Craig reinventing masculinity, Hooters showing that they can be even more out of touch, and a delusional (or vengeful) ninja. These are all of your news items this week. Also, we switched to Fridays because it just makes more sense.

Unintentionally, this week's news headlines mainly fall around the theme of aggressive groups of animals wreaking havoc on the citizens of this land. Please remain vigilant. Submit your strange news articles to @friendsoffpodcast on IG and don't forget to leave us a 5 star review because we will love you forever.
