Moonbug Entertainment, Blackstone and British Media

Kraft Grilled Cheese Incense and Mac & Cheese Candles

Australia Freedom Day, Obedience Testing in Western Democracies
New South Wales, Australia, announced a "Freedom Day" where restrictions will be eased only for the fully vaccinated, including limits on home visitors and singing in churches.

The segment also notes the rise of COVID-themed merchandise, such as Anthony Fauci prayer candles.
The hosts share items received in their PO box, including sample candles from Carriage Town Candle and a heartfelt letter from a 63-year-old "beach bum" mother of four. They reiterate the request for donors not to send physical checks to personal names. The segment concludes with "job karma" and "F-cancer" jingles for the community.
A satirical look at the fitness industry focuses on the popularity of spinning classes like SoulCycle. The segment mocks the trend of adding heat, candles, and hand weights to stationary bike workouts to justify high prices. One host defends the practice as a healthy, community-based activity despite the lack of "co-ed showers."
