Kevin and Alex kick off the week by reacting to the unseasonably warm weather forecast for the end of September, with highs projected to hit a record-tying 88 degrees. The hosts cover a mix of politics, from the looming government shutdown (with a "Trump Chess Move" idea) to Senator John Fetterman's surprising moments of political sensibility. Ag Director Bridgette Readel joins the show with an update on the hastened harvest and an overview of a beneficial workshop for young farmers. The hosts also touch on the bizarre story of an alleged illegal alien school superintendent in Iowa. Later, fitness expert and former MMA fighter Mariah Prussia discusses the lowering of physical standards, the importance of "building your armor," and the need for situational awareness in an increasingly distracting society.
