Marc, Kim, and Ethan kick off with a no-BS rundown of some of the wildest headlines out there. First up: Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle jeans commercial — attacked as “racist” because the pun on her “good genes” supposedly offends. They call out the absurdity and the left's hypersensitivity, while noting the commercial's blatant sex appeal. Next, they share a bizarre monster truck mishap where a tire flew off, crashed cars in the parking lot, thankfully no injuries — an obvious safety fail. Then it's on to a climate-activist lawsuit trying to stop the Blue Angels airshow over noise and “state sanctioned acoustic torture,” blaming military jets for a cat's death. The hosts mock the outrage and call the activists out for war trauma excuses. Missouri's tarantula mating season gets a shout-out, with a warning that these large spiders are creeping into local areas—enough to scare even the toughest. Southwest Airlines also gets roasted for dumping the cattle-call boarding system starting January, moving to assigned seating, plus charging for luggage—another sign the airline is “going downhill.”

Join Jim and Greg for Monday's 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the steep drop in violent crime in Baltimore, President Trump's new trade deal with the European Union, and a bizarre lawsuit blaming the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels for terrorizing a cat in its final days.First, they examine the dramatic decrease in Baltimore's murder rate since voters ousted soft-on-crime prosecutor Marilyn Mosby in the 2022 Democratic primary. Her replacement, Ivan Bates, pledged a return to aggressive prosecutions, and the numbers show it's working. Under Mosby, there were 334 murders in 2022. Last year, the total dropped to 202, and the city has recorded just 68 homicides so far in 2024. Jim and Greg argue it's no mystery what's driving the improvement.Next, they dissect President Trump's trade agreement with the European Union, which includes lowered tariffs and major commitments from Europe to buy U.S. energy and weapons. Jim says this deal is a significant relief given what would have happened later this week without a deal. But he's still concerned that American consumers will end up paying more for a lot of things.Finally, they lambaste the crazy cat lady, who decided to sue the Blue Angels for disturbing the final days of her cat, as it died from heart disease. Jim is flabbergasted that anyone could blame the progression of heart disease on noise from planes. He's also greatly annoyed that the lady is referred to as that cat's "human mother" in news reports.Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, a look at the headlines reveals how Democrats claim responsibility to the Trump administration's plan on immigration. Also the Laffer Curve and Japanese tariffs, the EU's investment in the US and it's getting hot out there! Heat advisories and warnings issued for the majority of the country as temperatures hover near triple digits with heat index values of 105 to 110. Also "Golf Course One"..the President's fortified armour-plated golf cart used by security on his new golf course in Scotland, what life would be like if Mamdani wins the eloctorate, Jasmine Crockett ranting and "race baiting" on re-districting in Texas, Eric considers updating his wardrobe to better reflect his age and Gary reads the best article EVER read as Barrett Media writes a stellar article on Gary and Eric's celbration of 20 years on Red Eye Radio. Also protestors aim their hatred on the Blue Angels for reasons way too silly to mention..except to say one lady in Seattle sues the Blue Angels because her precious noise-sensitive cat was traumatized. Also audio from Democrats failing to answer the question regarding solid polling numbers for President Trump and much more.

Marlene Dietrich and Emil Jannings were two of the biggest stars in both Weimar Germany and Hollywood in the early 20th century…they're not that bothered about each other, but they would star together in The Blue Angel, filmed precisely as Wall Street crashed, catapulting them off into wildly different directions, personally, professionally and politically. This episode began as an attempt to check in with these two people in 1945, and whilst we do that, they're too interesting to confine to that one time! We kick off with Jannings, because you have to eat your slightly rotten cabbage before you get to a delicious cream-topped strudel like Marlene…we don't make the rules. Who had better legs? Who literally tried hiding behind their Oscar? How many tangents can we get into one episode?! Find out and please enjoy this romp through movie history, the 20th century, and don't worry, some WAR!++++++History Flakes LIVE RECORDING JULY 20TH 18.30, Comedy Cafe Berlin
