On Today's show we learned that Frankie's friends planned a last meal before he becomes a dad, Angie reviews the pop up Barbie event for Comic Con and will the real Ja Rule please stand up!?!

Mark Thompson kicks off the show with ABC's Alex Stone, diving into the headline-grabbing robbery of Joe Burrow's home and the quarterback's surprising reaction as revealed in a new Netflix doc. Then, Mark unpacks President Trump's awkward moment during a meeting with Liberia's president, highlighting a major gaffe on the country's official language. KFI's Heather Brooker joins to talk about her exclusive Comic-Con coverage, the hottest cosplay trends, and her new podcast Entertain Me. The hour wraps with a box office breakdown—can Superman finally dethrone Jurassic Park?

You stumbled in—blame the algorithm or my creepy grin from Smile 3: Frown Turn (just kidding… maybe). This week's Summer Slash gets unhinged fast: We break down The Creeping Flesh, where Peter Cushing injects monster goo into his daughter and expects therapy to work. Spoiler: it doesn't. Meanwhile, Christopher Lee torments patients and we try to make sense of the movie's time loops and pub dances. Then, Saw 3D slices its way into the mix with recycled traps, twisted beef, and bad 3D—because we're doing all the 7s this summer, no matter how dull the blade. Also: Frankie Freako drops like Garbage Pail Kids meets Gremlins with Home Alone rage traps—zany, gross, and a little dimensional. Plus, why Toxic Avenger is going unrated at Comic-Con, what's up with Mr. Melvin, and why Tow might be the most underrated hit of the year.Binge now. Binge later. Binge never.

Joe in Hong Kong/Vietnam, Hot Wheels in Malaysia).   Offshoring since the 1970s means U.S. manufacturing infrastructure is limited; reshoring requires massive investment and time. Monitor Tariff Impacts:**     Current tariffs on Chinese imports are around 30%, affecting prices for both businesses and consumers.   Small business owners often absorb these costs, but ultimately, higher prices reach the end user. Stay Ahead of Technology:**     AI and digital integration are reshaping toys (e.g., Mattel's partnership with OpenAI).   Not all tech-enabled toys succeed—2023 saw several underperforming launches, showing the need for thoughtful innovation. Engage with Industry Resources:**     Publications like The Toy Book (trade-focused) and The Toy Insider (consumer-focused) offer valuable insights, gift guides, and trend analysis. Expert Tip:   If you're a business owner or creative in the toy space, attend trade shows (like Toy Fair or Comic-Con) to network, spot trends, and build relationships with industry leaders. 4. Balancing Digital and Physical Play for Kids  Key Insight:   Children's play is evolving, with digital experiences increasingly competing with traditional toys. The challenge—and opportunity—is to find a healthy balance. Actionable Advice: Encourage Hybrid Play:**     Look for toys that merge physical and digital elements, such as those that interact with platforms like Roblox or offer augmented reality features. Be Mindful of Screen Time:**     James advocates for a measured approach—introduce technology thoughtfully and ensure kids have plenty of hands-on, imaginative play. Evaluate Play Value:**     When choosing toys, consider not just the initial excitement but the potential for long-term engagement and developmental benefits. Expert Tip:   Use resources like The Toy Insider's website to filter toys by play duration and developmental focus, helping you make informed choices for your family. 5. Giving Back: Leveraging Your Platform for Community Good  Key Insight:   True community spirit means using your resources and connections to lift others up—especially those in need. Actionable Advice: Partner with Local Organizations:**     James's work with Avon Township to provide holiday gifts for families in need is a model for impactful giving. Find local groups that align with your values and offer your support. Leverage Industry Connections:**     If you have access to products, services, or expertise, consider how you can channel these to benefit local schools, community centers, or families. Be Proactive:**     Don't wait for the holidays—needs exist year-round. Reach out to community leaders to identify ongoing opportunities to help. Expert Tip:   If you're in Grayslake and need toys or support for a community project, don't hesitate to contact James or similar local advocates. Building a network of helpers multiplies your impact. 6. Celebrating Grayslake: Local Favorites and Family Life  Key Insight:   Grayslake's charm lies in its blend of small-town warmth, diverse events, and family-friendly amenities. Actionable Advice: Explore Local Events:**     From the farmers market to Central Park concerts and the holiday tree lighting, there's always something happening. Make it a family tradition to attend together. Support Local Dining:**     Favorites like First Draft, Sammy's, Cinco Hermanos, and Bake Share offer not just great food but a sense of belonging. Get Involved in the Arts:**     With opportunities for kids in theater, dance, and music, Grayslake nurtures creativity at every age. Expert Tip:   If you're new to town, ask neighbors or local business owners for their favorite spots and events. You'll quickly feel at home. 7. Actionable Takeaways for Listeners  Network Locally:**     Attend events, join organizations, and support local businesses to build meaningful connections. Pursue Your Passions:**     Don't be afraid to take risks, diversify your skills, and learn from setbacks. Stay Informed:**     Use industry resources to keep up with trends, especially if you're in a fast-changing field like toys or media. Balance Technology:**     Encourage both digital and physical play for kids, and be mindful of screen time. Give Back:**     Use your platform, however big or small, to support those in need in your community. Celebrate Your Hometown:**     Embrace the unique events, businesses, and people that make your town special.

Hasbro's new Savage Land Marvel Legends Rogue is oddly familiar. Collectors say the sculpt looks less “X-Men” and more “red carpet,” sparking debate over which celebrity just accidentally became an X-Man. Plus, Snow Joe! Hasbro's hoping their frosty new HasLab, the G.I. Joe Snow Cat, doesn't put their crowdfunding hot streak on ice. And Jazwares is turning Comic-Con upside down with their exclusive 6-inch Demogorgon action figure from the new Stranger Things line. It's The Reluctant Adult Podcast.

Hollywood studios aren't exhibiting at Hall H this year. Fantastic Four, Superman, nope, nope and the same for other studios such as Lionsgate. Is Hollywood OVER nerd culture?

Chris asks the listners for places they'd never return to. Chris would never go back to Flint, Michigan. Listeners refuse to go back to Comic-Con, especially after the Pandemic... Also, Elon criticizes Trump's Big Beautiful Bill... Can't figure out why he'd do that... The government scrubs evidence of Navajo Code Talkers from government websites... Chris does not like the idea of erasing important historical facts in the name of killing off DEI. And AI is taking over everything!

Featuring Anna Capezzera, Colleen Connor, and Serina Gilbert. This conversation pulls back the curtain on our upcoming Comic-Con panel about audio description. Panelists talk about why they signed on, what matters to them in this work, and what they hope the audience takes away. Each brings a different piece of the puzzle. Colleen trains writers. Anna works behind the scenes on production logistics. Serina ensures quality control at the final stage. Together, they paint a clear picture of what it takes to make audio description accurate, effective, and emotionally engaging, especially in complex worlds like the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They also talk about the bigger picture: why this work needs more attention, how decisions about AD get made, and what happens when it's done well, or not at all. If you're curious about how blind audiences experience media, and the people making that possible, this is worth a listen.
