• Introducing Tim Walz, Kamala Harris' running mate and Democratic Vice Presidential candidate! Let the battle of the midwestern VP candidates commence!
• And honestly, there is no fight to be had here: JD Vance continues to flounder and create headaches for the Trump campaign, while the Democratic base is more energized than ever over our ticket!
• Is it problematic to refer to Vice President Harris as simply Kamala? A listener perspective.
• Bet you couldn't have guessed that the most popular streaming app isn't Netflix, MAX, or Disney+ but... Tubi!
• The free streaming alternative has seen a 46% increase in viewership from a year ago, edging out even Disney+'s viewership.
• Amidst all other major streamers continuing to announce price increases, Tubi features movies and channels dedicated to popular genres and TV shows. Since it's ad-supported, Tubi has been able to remain a free service. Laura is a pessimist and doesn't think it'll last.
• We share some of our favorite hacks to save on home entertainment through bundling, threatening to cancel to take advantage of win back offers, and family plans.
• One of the latest collectors items? Popcorn buckets! And it's not just because of that sexual 'Dune' Sandworm bucket.
• People collect these tie-in novelties for the same reasons anyone collects anything - the nostalgia and exclusivity!

And in this week's installment of After Dark:

• We hear tips, tricks, and good advice a fair bit, but tell us about the WORST advice you've ever gotten.
• "...hello? OH SHIT!"
