Gary and Shannon dive headfirst into a surprisingly heated debate over whether hotel housekeeping should always be tipped, with listeners calling out Gary for knowing the etiquette and still choosing not to do it. Shannon presses him on why he keeps waffling, while Gary argues it is cultural, tied to visibility, and increasingly complicated by tipping expectations everywhere you turn.
The conversation expands into Governor Gavin Newsom’s shifting political tone as he eyes a presidential run, including whether his social media presence is being driven more by activists than authenticity. 
The hour circles back to tipping as Board Wizard Elmer weighs in, listener talk backs roll in, and Shannon ultimately concedes there may be rare exceptions, while still arguing that hard working hotel staff should not be the ones paying the price for a broken tipping system.
