Today's show starts with a spooky twist: Sam, John and Gordy's producer, is fixing up an old radio, and it makes John recall a ghost hunting TV show. As its not October, we return to the National Day Calendar for a break from the supernatural. We take a look at what happened on This Day in History, and later talk Idiocracy. In today's edition we talk Trump's new sword, words from a former member of the Village People, denouncing the performance by a different Village People at the inauguration, and the creation of the "External revenue service." We also hear about social media sites beginning to censor Democratic/progressive tags (!) and close out by touching on AI, and CEOs of AI companies kissing the ring.
