The first few minutes of the show boils down to one major question: Is the preferred use of the words Fall/Autumn a preference based on whether you were born in the US or the UK? From there, Frank and Matt hit quick points about what we all saw from the first night of the Republican Convention, including a touch on the latest cotton candy media distraction of Melania Trump's plagiarizing of a plagiarized Michelle Obama speech.

Joining us toward the bottom of the hour is our good friend Bill (@LibertyBill Tumblr/Twitter/Facebook), who makes a return to the show after many months to talk about the hopeful prospect of how to de-escalate and definitively end what are very complex, overlapping conflicts in the Middle East, which are now spilling over into the rest of the Western World.

Sam (@fukuyamasutra of the Common Sense Podcast) was supposed to be on the show as well, but rumors have been circulating that he was apprehended by NATO forces.

The last 25 minutes of the show is a stretch of conversations involving more mysterious, threatening notes being left on Frank's car—this time the note was written on studio stationary. We talk about cocktails, Pokemon jokes, and a preview of Wednesday night's episode, featuring Angela Nicastro, a psychic medium who looks to the outer limits to answer some of humanity's oldest questions.
