During the show, they hosted a discussion of the latest news. They were joined by Gyles and Tom Swarbrick.

One of the topics of discussion was the upcoming US Presidential election.

President Joe Biden announced that he would not be running for re-election recently, and has nominated Kamala Harris to succeed him.
