This week, the boys are pregaming the Windy City Smokeout with a special guest in the mix. We dive right in with a quick take on the week's political headlines—don't worry, we keep it brief. Then it's on to a recap of last week's fun, plus our game plan for the night ahead. We cover everything from Peter nearly buying a house, weird TSA rules (No Shoes??), to Barbie's new inclusive lineup and all the hot Prime Day buys. Things get serious as we touch on the devastating Texas floods, but we bring it home with some uplifting feel-good stories to wrap the episode on a high note. Grab a drink and get ready — it's another classic episode of the Saturday Night Pregame!
