What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Welcome back to Lemonade Stand, everybody. I've been thinking a lot about a question.
Okay. What have you been thinking?
Do you guys think you would have done a better job if you were the Shah? Like of Iran? Yeah.
Like around what specifically? The Khashoggi?
No, no, no. That's different. Hold on. That's a different guy. Okay. Yeah, I know I would have done it. I wouldn't have killed him. If I was the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, I wouldn't have killed him.
You wouldn't have done it. I wouldn't have killed him. I'm revealing my ignorance here. I thought the Shah is Iran. Is this Saudi Arabia? Yes, you're right. He just said something that, oh, wow, Saudi Arabia. I think I'd be a better podcaster than the Shah because I'm still alive.
Okay.
Well, there's a new Shah. Props. I still think I'd be better than him.
He's not a Shah? I don't think he's called, he's not the Shah. Hasn't dropped an episode in weeks.
He's the Ayatollah. The Ayatollah. Okay. What is the Shah? What is the Shah then?
The Shah. The guy that Britain and the U.S.
instated to rule over Iran after- Oh, you're saying like Reza Pahlavi from back in the 70s.
Yes.
He would be doing better than him.
You think you would have done a better job? I couldn't have been more clear. Is that going to be the name? Okay, you should explain how this is related to our hat. I'm sorry, we've got a wacky bit for today's episode.
Imagine the way, just think about what it's like to engage with issues in somebody else's shoes for once in your life. For instance, the Shaws. what it must have been like to read the New York Times way back then on his iPhone.
What are you talking about? What is this detailed specific thing about the Shah? I'm explaining what we're doing this week. This is leading up to, okay, got it.
Well, Aiden, I've never really thought about putting myself in the shoes of the Shah. What an interesting intellectual experience that could be.
And how would that relate to today's show? We've decided in an effort, in empathy, we have compiled a list of people and personalities that have been placed into this hat that we will draw before every story or topic we discussed this week. And we will have to engage and present that story as if we were that person. See the world through their eyes.
I do think there's some truth to this. We are three LA white podcasters, okay? All we give is through our news, through our point of view. Now we're going to expand our horizons through this magical hat.
If there's a white podcaster in that hat.
We change nothing.
We change nothing.
So here's how it's going to work. There are a bunch of things that we have all individually written. We don't know what each other wrote, different characters and point of views. And we're going to draw them before every story.
What is the new 'change personalities' hat game and how will it shape today's episode?
You will be able to see magically on screen what we are, but no one else will.
And then we'll see at the end of each story, if we can guess what the other two people was. This is like a crossfire, you know, from CNN. We're going to finally get to hear, it's like, you know, Nick Fuentes and Hunter Biden did an interview with Channel 5. Quite possibly in there, both of those people, we don't know. So we'll do our best to give you the type of varied perspectives as seen through our poor improvisational skills.
Right, exactly, because we don't have the budget or time to get real guests with different point of views. We haven't had a guest in a while. So we'll just create guests. It's good.
Like it all right, so our first story is a knee slapper Saudi Arabia is getting nukes Aiden's gonna be introducing this story, but first let's see our characters wait do we reach pull one?
Yeah, we each oh, but if you have your own throwback Aiden what's going on?
What is going on with nukes in Saudi Arabia nuclear power is very important? I think there's a lot of potential. I agree future modern world so I agree I
I'm going to give you guys the story, and then I'll give you my opinion about it after.
I'm happy. Nuclear has a lot of potential that we're going to get into.
Okay, so the U.S.
