Kash Patel Bestiality, Ed Sheeran & Israel, Black Juror Clancy Case | N2A w/ Royce Lopez

Neph 2 America is back, and this one is completely unhinged. The Raven and TopLobsta are joined by Royce Lopez and Mersh of Revenge of the Cis for a trip through the strangest corners of politics, culture, internet insanity, and whatever reality we're currently living in.

FBI Director Kash Patel is under fire after the FBI dropped bestiality as an automatic disqualifier for applicants, and the guys watch Patel try to explain the rule change when he's pressed on it. Yes, that is a real sentence.

Then the Ed Sheeran tour controversy: Macklemore, a photo that set off the online outrage machine, Michael Rapaport weighing in, the reported money Ed Sheeran lost over it, and how criticism of Israel keeps becoming the fault line in American culture, including who gets deported first.

The crew also asks the obvious Neph 2 America question about the latest Mitch McConnell footage: are we absolutely certain this man isn't a robot?

Plus: the fallout from the Lindsay Clancy trial, where the lone holdout juror hung the jury. Who is he, what happened inside those deliberations, and why did one juror become a national story?

Along the way: Hasan Piker, Owen Benjamin fight talk, Texas college football crowds, AI chatbots and whether you should say please and thank you to them, and plenty of stories nobody else wants to touch.

Expect conspiracy theories, uncomfortable clips, comedy, arguments, cultural commentary and political absurdity. It's Neph 2 America with The Raven, TopLobsta, and special guests Royce Lopez and Mersh of Revenge of the Cis. Welcome to the simulation.
