Fingers Malloy and Sarah Smith look back at the challenge of doing a pre-recorded show when the news cycle moves faster than the broadcast, like last week, when war with Iran broke out after the show had already been taped. They cover the political fallout, a bizarre Polymarket betting market on nuclear war, and a shocking case involving a Wisconsin teenager accused of plotting to assassinate President Trump with a drone. Plus, a new grocery store parking lot scam, the Brady Bunch house getting historic status in Los Angeles, and the latest Britney Spears headlines.

Fingers and Sarah dig into new polling showing many Democrats still aren’t enthusiastic about their own party, even with midterm optimism in the air. They debate whether anti-Trump energy can carry elections indefinitely without a stronger platform. The show then pivots to a class action lawsuit targeting TSA cash seizures and how civil asset forfeiture can strip travelers of money without charges. Finally, they break down the D.C. water crisis—raw sewage flowing into the Potomac for weeks—and the lack of accountability that lets officials fail upward, capped with a quick Menards parking lot story that somehow fits the moment perfectly.
