This (short) week, we first hear just John, as Thursday, Gordy was out at the doctor. We get inside John's head and learn about his pizza preferences and hatred of midwest goodbyes. After a short complaint session from their prerecorded Labor Day show about the state of the presidential race, we listen to part one of Mike McCabe's appearance this week, where he explains regulation of electronic media in the past for the country, and why it isn't that way anymore with cable TV and the internet. Closing out this week's best-of, we hear a comparison of the Trump and Harris tax plans, and what they would mean for the average person.
