—Jake was in Chicago last week, covering the Democratic National Convention for Sirius/XM radio.

Yes, the Obama’s gave speeches, yes, Bill Clinton showed up, yes, there was joy, energy, and love…

But none of that matters, because Jake had a hands-down favorite moment, and he shares it with us.

—What’s it like to be a sellout? To have no soul? To have no integrity, or morals? Well, look no further than RFK Jr. to find out.

He’s a man so principled, he endorsed Trump, because Trump took his call.

Yes, a man whose last name is legendary betrayed the family he came from, and his siblings let him know they were NOT amused.

(We are.)

Also: nathan mispronounces “Kamala” several times, because… Well, he was riffing, and forgot how to say it. Oops. Happens.)

—The Mouse is evil, we all know that. The question is, HOW evil?
Well, pretty freaking evil, it turns out.
Do you have Disney+?
Well, turns out that you can’t sue Disney, because they hid a clause in their terms and agreements that says so.

Jeffrey Piccolo lost his wife while dining at Disney Springs. She had a food allergy, and the Disney owned restaurant didn’t respect it.

So, he wants to sue for $50,000, but Disney says he can’t.

Wait, hold on…

$50,000?
Did he hate his wife?
I love my wife.

I lose her, I’m suing for billions.

$50,000 seems incredibly low for the loss of a loved one.

(If she was, in fact, loved.)

—This week’s guest, Dante Powell, arrives just in time to discuss hero Jesse Kipf. What did Jesse do to earn the title, “hero?”

Good question, listener!

Jesse faked his own death in order to avoid paying child support.

That’s right, he didn’t do anything violent or horrible when angry with his ex spouse, he just tried to hide.

In today’s day and age of “grab a gun and get vengeance” nonsense, Jesse did something honorable.

Well done, Jesse.

(Also: Jake’s computer crashes in this segment.)

—Oh, Elon…
You say you don’t need advertisers, you say they can f-off… and then you sue them for leaving.

Except, as CBS News discovered, you’re still running ads next to racist, xenophobic, hate tweets.

Yeah, the problem to all your advertising issues is in the mirror, fella.

Might want to look into that.

—Jesse Watters is a perennial challenger to people like Ted Cruz, Donald Trump, and Elon Musk for “biggest douche on the planet,” and man, he’s pushing hard for a victory with his latest nonsense.

Jesse is bringing back birtherism, everyone!

Huzzah!

Wake the kids; tell your neighbors!

Fox is sending an investigator to Hawaii to get to the BOTTOM of President Obama’s birth certificate.

Because when you don’t have anything of substance to offer, offer rage bait.

—The Trump marketing machine is pure genius. Last week we praised them for selling $2 Trump bills to morons, but man, this tops that by a mile.

The Trump “Fight!” bobblehead is now available, and you can buy a 3-pack for only $104.

Flick it with your finger, and it’s like he’s dodging bullets!

Buy now, Christmas is only four months away!

Idiots on Parade: we mock the news, so you don’t have to.

Tune in and get your giggle on.
