A little plague outbreak in Siberia has gotten Tom & Travis a little nervous. It might amount to nothing, but we can't help but flashback to six years ago when we started hearing about a viral outbreak from a Wuhan lab. Wait, was that REALLY six years ago???

It's midterm time. You know what that means? SO! MANY! EMBARRASSING! COMMERCIALS! Travis provides Tom with a sample of them from the boring to the bizarre!

Bombing American cities? Live-streamed executions? Halloween monsters giving saving accounts to children? Boy it has been a strange week! At least for Travis, the Dodgers are in the NLCS again.

The law doesn't matter. The rich always get their way. And Hollywood is about to get even smaller. The Paramount/Warner Bros. Skydance merger is going to happen after all and Travis is crashing out about it.

An Ivy League school has a most heinous scandal involving a most heinous crime... and now it's a culture war topic because that's America today. In a world that seems designed to sympathize with sex criminals, Tom & Travis choose to instead ask why sex criminals choose to not be better people.

This is what happens to our show when we need a vacation - a directionless drone on whatever is happening. Is this one of our worst episodes? Maybe. Don't worry, we're taking the month off. Hopefully, we're get it together afterwords.
