This week on Down to the Wire Jacob Racco welcomes back Hassan Phills for his second stint on the podcast. Joining Hassan is comedian Alistair Ogden, both stopped by the studio during their tour date here in Ottawa. Hassan is coming off of the new new Crave Original show Office Movers, while Alistair is fresh off of a string of shows in niche transgender coffee shops. The show looks a little different today compared to his last visit on the podcast. Today Jacob reads out 5 headlines and both comedians have 90 seconds to guess if they are real or fake news. Whoever guesses the LEAST amount of correct guesses has to face a punishment. The news stories in question today are: Leaked emails reveal scale of Swedish minister’s bananaphobia Elon Musk’s former dorm-mate alleges billionaire used to ‘haunt’ girls’ floor Greek man convicted for sneaking onto neighbour's' properties to smell their shoes Man Who Suffered Concussion After Skiing Accident Forgot Girlfriend Dumped Him the Day Before—And They Married 7 Months Later Smuggler caught with ‘over a dozen lobsters’ strapped to his body
