Jerry opens the show with a Morning Rant where he argues: Do what you know. Jerry argues that directors like Christopher Nolan make their best films by sticking to the stories and themes they know best—and we shouldn’t expect otherwise.

Toronto remains under smoky skies for a third straight day as wildfire smoke continues to affect air quality. Jerry speaks with Bill Coulter, CP24 Meteorologist, about the forecast, and Dave Trafford, Chief Executive Producer at Story Studio Network about how technology is changing the way wildfires are detected and managed.

Wildfire smoke is also taking a toll on Ontario’s wine country, with hazy conditions keeping tourists away. Jerry speaks with Paul Speck, President and co-owner of Henry of Pelham Winery, about the impact on the industry.

Jerry wraps the hour with Mark Mendelson, NEWSTALK 1010 Crime Expert and former homicide detective, discussing two controversial court decisions: a judge ordering the public to pay a convicted sex offender’s $50,000 legal bill because of a “deliberately uncooperative” Toronto police officer, and another case where kidnapping charges were dropped after police were found to have assaulted a suspect and lied about it.
