Why Do We Need A New Word To Describe Summer?”

The hour then turns lighter and stranger: Bobby Bonilla Day and Bruce Sutter’s deferred money, Philadelphia landing among friendly World Cup cities, Europeans and air conditioning, the death of Victor Willis from the Village People, Trump’s use of “Y.M.C.A.” at rallies, Good Charlotte sending a cease-and-desist to WPHT, Gen X versus Gen Z rest habits, and the rise of “lie down clubs.” The Nancy Guthrie case and reports that three ransom letters connected to her disappearance are fake. Shannon and Greg talk about what Savannah Guthrie must be feeling, whether fame made her mother a target, and how hard it must be to return to a morning show while living through that kind of family tragedy. From there, the crew moves into Trump’s E. Jean Carroll appeal loss, the $5 million judgment, and the broader lawfare debate. Then the show swings into Florida weirdness with Reagan Cox allegedly hiding cocaine during jail intake and claiming it may have come from an “intimate encounter,” before moving to Ketanji Brown Jackson using “understood the assignment,” the false NPR Alito retirement report, and Tom Kean Jr.’s depression diagnosis. The final stretch of the hour centers on whether Kean owed voters more information during his months-long absence, Lauren Boebert calling his explanation embarrassing, and listener reaction over how debilitating depression can be. The crew then turns to JB Pritzker, Trump dementia claims, GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, obesity in America versus Japan, food additives, portion control, and whether RFK Jr.’s food agenda is making people rethink what they eat.
