episode What The Fuck Is Wrong With America?: Part III - Snake Oil Salesmen cover

Description

Step right up and witness the magnificent medicinal miracle of Hocus Pocus Lack Of Focus' revitalising podcast! Put some ardor in your larder with our energizing, moisturizing... tantalizing, romanticizing, surprising, "her-prising," revitalizing shite talk! That's right, this week Oisin takes Dani and Justy on an investigation of that grand American tradition: lying to people. Stretching from "The Rattlesnake King" Clark Stanley to "The Liver King" Brian Johnson, selling both literal and figurative snake oil to the public is one of the foundations of the USA, and it doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon. Along the way, expect Elon Musk (naturally), Korean skincare, Sepp Blatter, nicotine pouches, and genuinely relevant Simpsons quotes. Content warning: from 32:44 to 37:35, we discuss details about the online rape academy which was in the news recently as well as the Giséle Pelicot case, in case anyone wants to skip.
