Gordy's gone! Unfortunately, he's been chained to the bathroom door in preparation for his colonoscopy today. John and Sam cover the National Days: Be Late for Something Day, and Cheese Pizza Day, before getting into What's Trending: John's class reunion. We also hear how Trump is holding rallies in "sundown towns," locations that have had brushes with Jim Crow and racism in the past, and also how Russian interference is demonstrably playing a role in this election.

Later, in the Idiocracy, we chat with Gordy, knee deep in the hell of prep for his procedure later this morning, and hear Jeanine Piro's ignorant comments on Harris's accent. We also listen to a bit of JD Vance, with his backward views on the unaffordability of starting a family. In Health News, the discussion turns to RFK Jr., and how he is directly responsible for the deaths of children due to his antivax activism, before we close the hour talking the closure of maternity wards across the country.
