  • “Dangerous Heat Dome” Is Just July
    2026/07/01
    We open with Shannon Burke sitting in for Kayal and Company with Greg Stocker and Phil Almquist, and the hour begins with the controversial Armie Hammer movie Citizen Vigilante. The crew talks through the movie’s vigilante plot, its anti-migrant themes, Germany’s rating fight, Elon Musk posting the film, Armie Hammer’s attempt at a comeback, and the broader panic over whether movies, music, and video games actually cause violent behavior. The conversation then shifts from movie violence to real immigration policy as Shannon brings up the Supreme Court allowing Trump to strip Temporary Protected Status from Haitians. The crew ties that into a Fort Myers murder case involving a Haitian illegal immigrant, then moves into local headlines: Philly’s “dangerous heat dome,” the Bensalem freight train derailment and hazmat worries, and the search for two teen suspects in the fatal shooting of Penn State student Billy Schmidt. The hour closes with major national political and court stories. We cover the Supreme Court’s birthright citizenship ruling, JD Vance’s coming reaction, the false NPR report that Justice Samuel Alito was retiring, the Supreme Court ruling on transgender athletes in women’s sports, Tom Kean Jr.’s return to Congress after a depression diagnosis, and a sports update featuring the Phillies shutout win, Jeffrey Lurie’s ESPYS honor, the Flyers, Ben Simmons rumors, and soccer.

  • Fight Club, Faith Snacks, And The FCC Comes For ABC
    2026/07/01
    The Hour opens with the O.J. Simpson debate and the Buffalo Bills’ decision to leave him off honors in the new stadium. Shannon and Greg argue over whether on-field accomplishments can be separated from off-field infamy, then connect that to Pete Rose, Bill Cosby, the NFL Hall of Fame, and whether a legacy can survive a scandal. The crew then moves through a caller’s take on Tom Kean Jr., Mikie Sherrill, and New Jersey politics before reacting to the New Jersey middle school yearbook that accidentally includes a baby photo of Adolf Hitler. From there, they cover a Maine Senate poll involving Susan Collins and Graham Platner, AOC and JD Vance as possible 2028 nominees, whether democratic socialists are gaining power because young voters feel priced out, and why Republicans may be underestimating the appeal of economic populism. The hour closes with an extended FCC and ABC debate, asking whether The View and late-night television serve the public interest or act like partisan cable programming. Greg makes the libertarian case against government overreach while Shannon argues for broadcast-license accountability, then the show rolls into Fight Club, a study tying religious cues to junk-food choices, motorcycles and helmet laws, a caller’s question about talk radio and the FCC, and Phil’s “Today in Music History” segment before the crew signs off.

  • Fight Club, Harvard’s A-Grade Problem, And A Quarter In The Urinal
    2026/06/30
    More toilet-story aftermath, a Trainspotting reference, and a Los Angeles arrest after a BB gun fires during a naked bike ride. We move through Cory Booker jokes, the Alabama case involving Jessica Folds and Daniel Robbins, then Harvard’s response to runaway top grades. The crew argues that college transcripts lose value when top marks become common, before launching into Fight Club and scoring a video brawl featuring a pool skimmer and a rough stairwell moment. The closing stretch pits broadcast standards against unfiltered podcasts, then caller Lori joins the grade-inflation debate. We finish with Dianna Russini’s Ridgewood bodycam stop, her NFL name-dropping and expired license, the listener vote on Sean’s proposed retraction, and a final sign-off before Dan Bongino’s next appearance.

  • Why Do We Need A New Word To Describe Summer?”
    2026/07/01
    The hour then turns lighter and stranger: Bobby Bonilla Day and Bruce Sutter’s deferred money, Philadelphia landing among friendly World Cup cities, Europeans and air conditioning, the death of Victor Willis from the Village People, Trump’s use of “Y.M.C.A.” at rallies, Good Charlotte sending a cease-and-desist to WPHT, Gen X versus Gen Z rest habits, and the rise of “lie down clubs.” The Nancy Guthrie case and reports that three ransom letters connected to her disappearance are fake. Shannon and Greg talk about what Savannah Guthrie must be feeling, whether fame made her mother a target, and how hard it must be to return to a morning show while living through that kind of family tragedy. From there, the crew moves into Trump’s E. Jean Carroll appeal loss, the $5 million judgment, and the broader lawfare debate. Then the show swings into Florida weirdness with Reagan Cox allegedly hiding cocaine during jail intake and claiming it may have come from an “intimate encounter,” before moving to Ketanji Brown Jackson using “understood the assignment,” the false NPR Alito retirement report, and Tom Kean Jr.’s depression diagnosis. The final stretch of the hour centers on whether Kean owed voters more information during his months-long absence, Lauren Boebert calling his explanation embarrassing, and listener reaction over how debilitating depression can be. The crew then turns to JB Pritzker, Trump dementia claims, GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, obesity in America versus Japan, food additives, portion control, and whether RFK Jr.’s food agenda is making people rethink what they eat.

  • From A 3,000-Foot Drone Scare To The Mets’ Little League Homer
    2026/06/30
    Cut Sheet starts with the day’s most ridiculous rescue: a California camper falls into a vault toilet after dropping sunglasses. From there, we take on CNN’s Declaration discussion, French heat deaths, Rand Paul’s COVID-origin hearing, a Rush tour call-in, and Kenny Chesney’s stance that a concert crowd deserves an evening away from political speeches. We keep Cut Sheet moving with Supergirl star Milly Alcock’s comments about the character, Bill Maher’s alarm over socialist wins in New York, and reports that a JetBlue flight may have struck a drone near JFK. Matt Rooney then joins, bringing the crew into a sharp dispute over Madeleine Dean’s account of a phone call with Steve Witkoff during an Iran briefing. Rooney and the crew argue over manners, foreign-policy priorities, and how much outrage is real versus manufactured. We also revisit the vault-toilet sunglasses question, keep the 600-like challenge going, and put Sean Farash’s on-air retraction argument to a listener test. Sports and local oddities close the hour: the Mets hand George Springer a Little League homer after a defensive mess, then a Paramus middle school pulls yearbooks after a baby Hitler photo appears. The crew saves a string of stranger items for the final hour, including a naked bike ride arrest, an Alabama homicide case, grade inflation, and Fight Club.

  • Shannon Burke Takes Over: Vigilantes, SCOTUS, Crypto, And Cocaine Excuses
    2026/07/01
    The 7 AM hour starts with Trump’s financial disclosure and the crew’s debate over whether a president should be able to keep making money from investments, licensing, crypto, real estate, golf clubs, watches, and branded products. Shannon compares Trump’s business world to Jimmy Carter’s peanut farm and argues that critics are often angrier about Trump’s marketability than any clear conflict. The crew returns to the birthright citizenship ruling, playing JD Vance’s response and talking through the “anchor baby” argument, family separation claims, and the legislative route through Congress. That leads back to the Supreme Court’s ruling on transgender athletes, Riley Gaines, NCAA numbers, the role of the states, and why Shannon and Greg say the issue comes down to basic fairness and biology.

  • Amy Coney Barrett’s Mail-Ballot Mess Meets A Vault-Toilet Rescue
    2026/06/30
    We spend the first portion of the 7 AM hour taking Watson v. RNC apart from every angle. The crew explains why the ruling does not force every state to count late-arriving ballots, then urges listeners who want different rules to pressure their own legislatures instead of waiting for a federal fix. That turns into a larger argument about turnout, a potential socialist tilt inside the Democratic Party, the household-cost squeeze, Trump’s housing push, and whether voters feel the economic numbers they hear about. We also talk executive authority after the FTC ruling, voting IDs, a federal Election Day holiday, and sports-fan mockery sparked by Kathy Hochul’s Bills chant.

  • Election Day Is One Day—So Why Are We Still Counting?
    2026/06/30
    We begin with Shawn Farash and Greg Stocker holding down the studio while Nick Kayal travels, and the crew starts with the summer heat, a Strawberry Moon, and anger at the latest mail-ballot ruling. Watson v. RNC becomes the morning’s central legal fight as the crew argues that Election Day ought to mean one actual day, while the Court leaves receipt deadlines to state law. The opening news run also brings the Court’s rulings involving FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter and Fed Governor Lisa Cook, plus a look ahead at birthright citizenship. We cover Luigi Mangione’s newly scheduled federal trial, then turn to the Olney raid that leaves investigators with a strange written item, firearms, chemicals, and hard questions. Before the first big Court reaction, we hit a packed local slate: a Gloucester Township party, a house explosion in Bucks County, Comcast’s company split, and Collingswood’s liquor-sales debate. Phil Almquist delivers a painful Phillies loss, Eagles ticket details, Chris Johnson’s ALS news, and a warning that the holiday stretch could bring heat indices well above 100.
