Drone Plot, Nuclear War Bets, and the Brady Bunch House

Fingers Malloy and Sarah Smith look back at the challenge of doing a pre-recorded show when the news cycle moves faster than the broadcast, like last week, when war with Iran broke out after the show had already been taped. They cover the political fallout, a bizarre Polymarket betting market on nuclear war, and a shocking case involving a Wisconsin teenager accused of plotting to assassinate President Trump with a drone. Plus, a new grocery store parking lot scam, the Brady Bunch house getting historic status in Los Angeles, and the latest Britney Spears headlines.
