Today, Frank and Alex discuss the global climate meeting in Scotland, the soon to launch space telescope that will provide us with more knowledge of our universe than ever before, and the many ambitious goals of California - some good, some bad, some never achieved. Also, a Southwest pilot's job is in jeopardy over "Let's Go Brandon". Is it actually that offensive? Would the reaction be the same if the opposite party was the target?

To get the week going, Frank and Alex reflect on the vaccine mandate as the deadline quickly approaches. Some employers are strictly enforcing it (and even starting early) while others are more hesitant to enforce a mandate they see as unjust. Many individuals are using the power their labor holds to fight back, while others, like Kyrie Irving, are using their platform to speak out against this perceived injustice. Is there a right answer or is it okay to have a difference of opinion when it comes to the vaccine? The guys also discuss if there should be some kind of evaluation in place to test our older politicians competency and senility.
