Summary

🎙️ Live from the Patriot Awards with Carley Shimkus, who seems super excited to join the fellas. She updates us from inside the belly of the beast, talking New York City mayoral race and the victory of self-proclaimed democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani. Smug stands by his assertion that the city "gets what they deserve," a sentiment that Shimkus finally understands. We also chat about recent off-year election results in New Jersey and Virginia 🎬Then, funtime Friday with a hilarious clip of actor George Clooney, who maybe has regrets after forcing Biden out of the race? I mean, he wanted him to step down - but just not the way he stepped down. Can you imagine that happening within the Republican Party?
