Blue Acorn is announced as the art winner for Episode 1734 for a "cow egg" piece. Other submissions discussed include a "White House Media" piece by the Farmer's Wife's kids featuring a man in a sombrero, which the hosts found baffling but humorous. The segment highlights the creative contributions of the "prompt jockeys" and artists in the audience.

The hosts deconstruct Richard Engel's reporting from Seoul, which claimed South Korea was "blindsided" by the suspension of military war games. By comparing Engel's claims to official statements from the South Korean Blue House and USFK spokespeople, the hosts argue the "outrage" was manufactured by the media. They suggest Engel's reporting is influenced by his perceived ties to the intelligence community.

Journalist Benjamin Wittes recounted an incident where FBI Director James Comey allegedly tried to "blend into" blue curtains at a White House reception to avoid President Trump. The hosts analyze video footage of the event, disputing the "hug" narrative and the claim that Comey was hiding. They argue the interpretation of the physical interaction depends entirely on the viewer's political "dimension."

Barack Obama prepares for his second inauguration, tying Franklin D. Roosevelt's record for two double swearing-in ceremonies.

The Blue Room is noted for its French Empire style and historical furniture dating back to the Monroe administration.

During a fundraising event at the House of Blues in Los Angeles, President Obama was heckled by a man claiming Jesus Christ is the only God and calling the President the "Antichrist." The segment focuses on the security lapse where the heckler's jacket was left on the floor near the stage, causing the President visible concern.

One host describes traveling to Chicago, noting the freezing weather and the experience of flying United Airlines with a paid upgrade for extra legroom. The stay at the Saks Hotel, a boutique establishment near the House of Blues, is detailed, including a late-night arrival to an empty bar with a live DJ.

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines continues its tradition of gifting business class passengers miniature Delft Blue porcelain houses filled with liquor.
