With Gordy back after his mysterious disappearance yesterday, we share a laugh over the National Day Calendar, then get into what's trending: the heat wave, Tim Walz' love for Menards, and Eric Hovde's (dumb) mailings. In the Idiocracy, we hear a commercial for Trump's new (digital) trading cards, Tucker Carlson calling Tim Walz "weird," and the juxtaposition of Trump asking for donations from his private jet. In Media World, we hear about MovieScent, an AI-powered scent enhancement for media, and a coming sequel to The Devil Wears Prada.
