In this week's episode, we delve into the fascinating and sometimes bizarre world of current events. First up, we explore the new addition to the Olympics: breakdancing! Find out how Australia's breakdancer fared with the judges and why it’s causing quite the stir.

Next, we discuss the heart-wrenching story of a U.S. gymnast who lost her bronze medal due to a controversial ruling, and we celebrate Algerian boxer Amin Khalif's triumphant gold medal win amidst online bullying.

We also dive into the political arena, highlighting Tim Walz as Kamala Harris's VP pick and the swirling rumors surrounding his military service. Plus, we examine the plight of NASA astronauts who might be stuck on the space station until 2025 due to technical issues with Boeing's Starliner.

In a surprising move, a Texas middle school is banning black clothing to combat mental health struggles among students. We discuss the implications and effectiveness of this policy.

Lastly, on this week's "Am I the Asshole," we tackle the dilemma of whether not waving at your spouse in morning traffic makes you a jerk. Tune in for a lively debate and much more!
