Mark Thompson serves up a whirlwind of headlines—from a California pho restaurant forced to close after a viral video sparked a health department crackdown, to ICE raids hitting car wash shops across the state. Mark also digs into the surprising rise of raccoons as household pets and the alarming report that a silent tick-borne meat allergy contributed to the death of a JetBlue pilot. Then Andy Riesmeyer joins Mark for a lively cross-segment to talk movies, TV, and his own adventures in media. A mix of curiosity, cautionary tales, and classic Mark Thompson energy.
