Its the last day of the year! John and Gordy kick off the show in usual fashion, discussing and laughing about the National Day Calendar and Today in History with Sam, before we get today's dose of Idiocracy. We dive into the issue of Daniel Penny, the man acquitted after killing, in a chokehold, a mentally ill subway rider. The guys call it another act of vigilantism, and compare Penny to Luigi Mangione and Kyle Rittenhouse. Wrapping up the first hour, the guys discuss their plans to ring in the new year, along with an overview of all the events going on around town tonight.
