On today's episode, we’re celebrating National Taco Day, National Fruit at Work Day, and National Pumpkin Spice Day with some fun and insightful updates. In the Blackurate News  segment, we cover a range of topics from voting and venting frustrations to updates on the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which continues to leave a devastating mark on the Southeast and Midwest. We also dive into a double edition of "The Let Down," featuring a family photo prop gone wrong and an unsolicited crowd dive by DJ Khaled, which left some fans feeling more fearful than festive.

We tackle some serious questions in the segment "What’s Beef?" by examining the impacts of industrialized farming and what’s really going into the meat we consume. And before we get into all that, we kick things off with NLE Choppa, who has been dropping knowledge about the different branches of government and their roles. Plus, we look into the strange case of Derrick Anderson, a Virginia congressional candidate, who took the concept of "family values" to a whole new level for a campaign photo op. Tune in for these stories and more!
