In the first hour of the show Ryan talks about Eric Schmitt Missouri’s old guard and its future as a red state and connects it to Arizona. Ryan and Tricia ask where the line is when holding a door for others and fun articles such as why sharks are afraid of dolphins.

Ryan also discusses Rolling Stone and the impact of COVID-19 and the worker shortage, particularly on poorer areas and schools and going back to school as the end of summer nears. The hour concludes with an audio frequency magic trick.
