Hosts Dave and Leonard discuss the week’s biggest stories: the federal shutdown delaying SNAP benefits, an AI gun-detection error that led to a Baltimore teen being handcuffed, and sweeping federal indictments tying NBA figures to illegal gambling and mob-run poker schemes.

They also cover Target’s major layoffs after consumer boycotts over DEI changes, explore a psychologist’s take that no siblings share the same upbringing, and share personal concerns about AI’s impact on jobs, safety, and creativity.

Listeners get a clear, conversational roundup of news, community impact, and the hosts’ personal takes and reactions.
