John, Gordy, and Sam recount their long weekends, talking the fun and freedom of July 4th. They trek through the National Day Calendar and Today in History before welcoming in Terry Bell to hear about Three Things You Need to Know. John enlightens us to the wonders of the Republican Chore Wheel of Blame, and closing out the hour, take One Step Beyond, talking about AI software that rewrites classic novels to "easier to read" versions.
