This week's monologue explores the vexation caused by smoke detector low battery warnings. I also have a nonpartisan observation about election logistics, as inspired by the words of NFL coaching legend Bill Parcells. Next, Gabe Mirabelli, fresh off another winning week, checks in from the desert for Vegas Corner. And then Greg Rouse helps analyze the comedy of errors that is the 2020 Dallas Cowboys.
