Happy Friday, fam! On today's show, we discuss the latest news from the 2024 Presidential Race and the Olympics. In addition, we talk weekend events, movies, and "Project 2025." Try to have a good weekend, everyone!

In our first hour, we discuss the U.S.-Russia prisoner exchange, as well as the Olympics boxing controversy.

In our second hour, we discuss the State of America's Union and the state of the sports universe, the temporary center of which is Paris, France.

In our third hour, we discuss weekend events in Richmond, the markets, and "Project 2025"!

In our final hour, we check in on the Chronic Care of Richmond Textline, talk movies, and ponder "The Mandela Effect" (if only briefly; what a can of worms . . . ).

To begin the show today, John, Gary, and Dan discuss their weekend plans (and corresponding traffic considerations). Additionally, John talks about the prisoner exchange between the U.S. and Russia that occurred yesterday.

Atop the 7 o'clock hour, we talk to restaurant owner and political activist, Matt Strickland. John and Matt discuss several topics, including the state of the American experiment generally.
