All American Bullion Florida (Whatnot) — Live auction show hosted by Dan for sponsor Craig LaFleur that same Friday night (~7:30 p.m.), selling copper rounds/bars and other items. Segment Rundown Cows and Cabs food/wine fest plug — Dan and Ross hype the upcoming Winter Park charity food-and-wine event, with an extended tangent praising Smoke Made Meats BBQ (turkey, pulled pork, brisket, and their unsweetened "cowboy" beans). Ross's terrifying AI/anxiety bit — Ross describes using AI chatbots to soothe his anxiety, then springs a viral video on Dan unannounced: footage from an Iranian domestic flight where a tire blowout caused the cabin ceiling to partially collapse, with panicked passengers screaming (no injuries). They propose making this a recurring "traumatize Daniel" segment. Tom and Dan Cruise 2027 update — Over 200 people booked already; cabana block at the beach stop (Ocean Cay) discussed, plus family-friendly perks like snorkeling. St. Cloud Trail of Terror — Local Halloween attraction starting Oct. 8, its 16th year, themed "Sweet 16," including a haunted house built around an Iranian plane-crash scare tying back to the earlier video bit. Radio-days bathroom/ringtone stories — Tangent into old Real Radio/Clear Channel building stories: a flooding bathroom mishap and a chicken-ringtone incident with a cleaning lady. The "Haunted Tugboat" mystery solved — Dan recaps years of speculating about a boat moored near Lake Beresford, revealed via a news story to be the Tiger ST-479, an 86-foot, 150-ton WWII Army tugboat built locally, sent overseas (reportedly arriving in Normandy the day after D-Day), later owned in Sweden, and repatriated in 2022–2023 via a roughly $250,000 donor-funded shipping effort. They debate what should be done with it (restore as a tour boat, static memorial, or "Tom and Dan tugboat party") and joke about the lack of a real restoration plan. Tommy's Halloween costume — Tom's son Tommy is growing his hair out to dress as soccer player Memphis Depay ("Holland") for Halloween. Franco's Flop Fest plug — Free belly-flop competition and street party this Sunday in Baldwin Park; Dan and Andrea judging, Brendan O'Connor also judging, food trucks including Chillin' Tacos, and a cameo appearance planned for the haunted tugboat. BDM shirt clearance and Jeff's Bagel Run — Final sale on BDM Appreciation shirts ($5–$10), plus a bagel tangent about Jeff's Bagel Run's loaded baked potato bagel and app-signup coupon. 20th anniversary viral video retrospective — Extended segment revisiting early-internet viral clips on their 20th anniversaries: the "Grape Stomp Lady" (Melissa Sander, 1998 WAGA-TV Fox 5 news segment, went viral on YouTube in 2006), with discussion of local-news "fun reporter" archetypes and how 2006-era stars had no way to monetize viral fame. Star Wars Kid — Story of Ghyslain Raza, filmed in 2002 at age 14, leaked and uploaded in 2003, viewed hundreds of millions of times; discussion of the harassment and lawsuit that followed, and his later life (law degree, doctorate, heritage preservation society president, public speaker on online harassment). Numa Numa Guy — Gary Brolsma's 2004 lip-sync video, his brief media circuit (Good Morning America, Leno), and his low-key present-day life still in Saddle Brook, NJ, working as a web designer. Sweet Brown / "Ain't Nobody Got Time for That" — Brief revisit of the viral local-news clip, with a broader riff on why local-news viral clips featuring Black interviewees tend to be the most memorable. Why fewer viral news clips today — Discussion of the analog-to-digital conversion era (mid-2000s) that made clipping and sharing footage easy, contrasted with Dan's memories of physically taping and dubbing clips in his early radio career; mention of the free video-downloading tool Cobalt. Thursday Night Football / Dan Campbell tangent — Riff on Amazon Prime's now-exclusive Thursday Night Football broadcasts and Lions coach Dan Campbell cursing on a live sideline mic with no real backlash. Hyrox athlete apology controversy — Follow-up on a Hyrox athlete (referred to as "Joanna") who initially posted a smug "win's a win" message after a controversial finish, then issued a full apology and relinquished her title/ranking points after losing her Puma sponsorship; hosts debate the timing and sincerity of the apology. Comedy/fame tangent — Riff on the burdens of being unusually tall or funny, the difficulty of making a living in comedy or pro sports, and a shoutout to comedian David Jolly's grind, distinguished from the unrelated politician of the same name appearing in local ads. Voicemail: crystal burgers vs. White Castle — Caller Dan in Palm Bay questions references to "frozen crystal burgers"; hosts clarify the Crystal vs. White Castle regional debate (mustard included vs. not, hole-punch pattern differences). Voicemail: laundromat business — A 41-year-old caller whose father owns a Speed Queen-equipped laundromat in downtown Orlando discusses the durability of Speed Queen machines and the economics (and cash-business realities) of running a laundromat. Voicemail: "Olympic Fat Dads" / Max Verstappen go-kart race — Caller Bubble Bath Billy shares an ESPN/Disney-broadcast event where F1 driver Max Verstappen starts last in a 101-driver, 30-lap go-kart race using identical karts; leads to a tangent about similar "elite athlete races the field" stunts, including a ski-jump stair-climb race and reality shows pitting humans against animals. Reality TV deep dive: Superstar USA and "The Contestant" — Recap of the 2004 WB show Superstar USA (a reverse American Idol mocking bad singers, including a contestant compared to William Hung), and a much darker Japanese hidden-camera show (subject later identified as Nasubi/Tomoaki Hamatsu) that secretly broadcast a man's year-plus isolation to millions, an inspiration for The Truman Show; mention of the 2024 Hulu documentary The Contestant covering it.

This Sunday, starting at noon (flopping begins ~1:20 p.m.): Franco's Flop Fest, Baldwin Park — free belly-flop competition and street party.

Florida Democratic Party Gubernatorial candidate David Jolly pitched a hurricane insurance reform plan that is under heavy scrutiny. Florida Daily show host Ed Dean explains why the plan seems virtually impossible.

Ryan talks with Florida Politics Publisher Peter Schorsch about David Jolly courting disaffected Republican voters and whether he's doing enough to win over Democrats. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ryan talks with Publisher of Southeast Politics Janelle Irwin Taylor about Byron Donalds fundraising domination of David Jolly. Plus a University of North Florida poll shows Ashley Moody ahead of Angie Nixon 50% to 42% in the Florida Senate race.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ryan and Dana talk with Southeast Politics Publisher Janelle Irwin-Taylor and Chris Trenkmann about the shifting Florida governor's race, David Jolly's campaign strategies, democratic socialism and statewide candidates, local endorsements and race relations, the Hope Florida controversy, and Byron Donalds, Joe Gruters, and Anna Paulina Luna's involvement in the bill for Trump's Dallas midterm convention.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, postpartum trauma and mental-health struggles many women experience are real, along with flaws in the healthcare system and medication, yet most mothers do not execute their children as Lindsay Clancy did. At a minimum manslaughter would have been appropriate rather than the near-acquittal that 11 of 12 jurors favored. After a long trial and deliberations the case ended in mistrial when one hero male juror refused to acquit; the defense has since attacked that juror, which is outrageous. Also, the Democrats are always focusing on Israel and Bejamin Netanyahu—a small elected ally that does not seek to kill Americans or sponsor terrorism—with the lack of attention to actual enemies such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar's role in 9/11, Egypt as home of the Muslim Brotherhood, and other Islamist dictatorships that have killed U.S. citizens. The claims of genocide and starvation in Gaza have been repeatedly disproven even by hostile international bodies including the UN, with children now described as well-nourished, yet podcasters have neither retracted nor apologized for the repeated lies. Later, the jobs report cited a record number of jobs created—nearly three times what experts predicted—with manufacturing adding 16,000 positions last month and standing 58,000 above its December low, driven in part by demand for data-center equipment plus investments in drug manufacturing, defense production, and semiconductor plants. Data centers offer a massive upside for states, counties, and towns. The President is fully committed and ahead of the curve, matching or exceeding efforts by China, Israel, and India. Sen Bernie Sanders seeks a nationwide ban, attacking the capitalism that produces these jobs because it undercuts his Marxist ideology. Finally, Rep Byron Donalds calls in with an update on his campaign for Governor of Florida.  There is a lot of energy in Florida, but the outcome in 60 days depends on voters turning out to keep the free state of Florida under Republican control. Donalds explains that his opponent David Jolly is a Trojan horse for Democrat socialists in the mold of Abigail Spanberger, who stayed quiet on the trail then governed as a radical.

Jen Psaki peels through the layers of a scheme described by a Florida grand jury in which millions of dollars were laundered through charities and ultimately ended up funding political activities. And while the grand jury was not able to identify who to indict in the matter, the people involved, with close ties to outgoing Governor Ron DeSantis, saw their careers advance. Former Rep. David Jolly, Democratic candidate for Florida governor, talks with Jen about the details of the scheme. Iowa State Rep. Josh Turek, Democratic candidate for Iowa's U.S. Senate seat, talks with Jen about a new lobbying scandal in Iowa that has involved his Republican opponent. Max Lederer and Erik Slavin, the fired publisher and editor-in-chief of Stars and Stripes, talk with Jen about their new legal effort to restore their jobs and preserve the newspaper's independence as Pete Hegseth's Pentagon seems intent on turning it into a propaganda outlet. Jen Psaki shares New York Times reporting on how Donald Trump Jr. throws his weight around as the son of a corrupt president to influence the legal circumstances of a company and an industry in which he has a financial interest. David Yaffe-Bellany, New York Times crypto industry reporter, joins to discuss his reporting. To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

Because the bill is a Trojan horse designed to craft a gun registry.Florida: Democrat communist David Jolly, the Democrat nominee for the Florida governor's race, wants to ban the sale of "assault weapons", implement universal background checks (also designed to mandate a gun registry) licensing requirements for all gun owners, and expansion of red flag laws.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) Democratic Socialist Angie Nixon stormed to a surprise win in Florida’s US Senate primary, while Republican Representative Byron Donalds, backed by a $100 million war chest and President Donald Trump’s endorsement, cruised to victory in his gubernatorial primary. Nixon, a Black labor and political organizer from Jacksonville who has been a state lawmaker since 2020, defeated Alex Vindman by more than 10 percentage points, upending pre-election polling. Vindman, who rose to notoriety in Trump’s first administration by being a key witness in his first impeachment trial, had outraised Nixon by 16-to-1. Meantime, the race to replace two-term Governor Ron DeSantis will be fought between Donalds and David Jolly, a former Republican-turned-moderate Democrat. With registered Republicans outnumbering Democrats by more than 1.5 million people in Florida, Jolly will have to appeal to independent voters and hope that some Republicans stay home to deliver an upset.2) The Trump administration delayed 50% tariffs on billions of dollars of Canadian products for three days, saying the two sides had reached a tentative agreement to resolve a broader trade dispute that had plunged relations to a fresh low. President Trump announced the decision less than two hours before the tariffs were set to take effect. A White House proclamation later said the duties were halted after Canada “expressed a commitment to remove the discriminations” on US autos, dairy and alcohol. And the US Trade Representative’s office said the deal includes “comprehensive market access for all American goods, economic security commitments, digital trade alignment” and other factors, without giving specifics.3) President Trump insisted Tuesday that there were no talks ongoing with Iran, leaving the simmering conflict in the Middle East and control of the Strait of Hormuz stuck in limbo. The memorandum of understanding that the US and Iran signed in June in an effort to buy time to negotiate a lasting peace deal — as repeatedly violated as it had been during that 60-day window — has expired. There are no plans to extend it, leaving the status of Hormuz unresolved, with little traffic and Washington and Tehran still at odds over how the waterway should be managed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's podcast, Charlie Sykes and Matt discuss:—Why DSA member and failed Wisconsin candidate Francesca Hong was an “absurdly bad candidate” (and why Bernie and AOC stayed away)— How Dems realized they were about to blow a winnable race and hand Wisconsin to an election-denier, so they voted for David Crowley, a candidate who had previously dropped out of the race— Charlie says there are three things every candidate must prove to voters (Hong went 0-for-3)— Matt says 2026 is largely “baked in the cake” as a blue-wave year driven by Trump fatigue, overreach, tariffs, ICE, etc. But! Dems better not take 2028 for granted.— An Independent / Centrist / Unity-Ticket surge has Katie Hobbs (Arizona Democratic governor) picking a Republican running mate, and David Jolly (former Republican Never Trumper congressman) picking a prominent Democrat as running mate in Florida.— Can we trust the polls?— Plus: Trump's catering-truck Air Force One escape, the independent/unity-ticket surge, Minnesota, Michigan, and more.— And MUCH more!Subscribe to Matt Lewis on Substack: https://mattklewis.substack.com/Support Matt Lewis at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattlewisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattLewisDCTwitter: https://twitter.com/mattklewisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattlewisreels/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVhSMpjOzydlnxm5TDcYn0A– Who is Matt Lewis? –Matt K.

John is broadcasting live from the Howard Stern Tower in New York City with Chris and Thea in studio. He talks about the dubious appointment of Todd Blanche as Attorney General, a move that raises serious questions about integrity and accountability within the Republican Party. As Blanche navigates a web of conflicts, John explores the implications of a political culture more concerned with appearances than ethical standards. Then, he speaks with David Jolly, the Democratic candidate for governor of Florida, who shares his remarkable political journey from a Republican congressman to an independent and finally a Democrat. David discusses the current state of the Republican Party, the urgent need for change in Florida, and his confidence in the Democratic message resonating with voters. Next, John jokes with award-winning Democratic Strategist Max Burns, who shares his perspectives on Trump's tariffs and their detrimental effects on the American auto industry. Together, they dissect the disconnect between Trump's promises and the harsh realities faced by workers, particularly in Michigan, where union members are beginning to question their past support for the president. Then finally, he welcomes back Professor Corey Brettschneider. They talk about the troubling confirmation of Todd Blanche as Attorney General, discussing his qualifications—or lack thereof—and the implications of his potential actions on democracy and the press. They also examine the alarming trend of the DOJ's aggressive tactics against journalists, highlighting the chilling effect on free speech. And, they touch on the ongoing political maneuvering surrounding mail in voting and the broader constitutional threats posed by Trump and his minions.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
