Hey, Fool Scoopers! We're back with Episode 117! Your favorite hosts - Alan, Jhonny, and Winston - got together for another fun-filled conversation that'll keep you entertained from start to finish.

We kicked things off talking about how we desperately need a producer (anyone interested?), shared some amazing stories about food culture, and commiserated about the weather. Things got really interesting when we dove into some wild stories featuring Chuck Norris and Mike Tyson, plus we shared some pretty hilarious run-ins with the police!

As usual, we couldn't help but go off on some fun tangents - from car troubles to our takes on improv comedy through the years. We wrapped things up with a deep dive into the whole TikTok situation, discussing everything from data privacy to how social media is shaping the way we think.

So grab your favorite snack and join us for another helping of The Fool Scoop!
