A viral TikTok video features a woman listing her "non-negotiable" requirements for having children, including a "push present" (car or house), a full-time nanny, and her husband getting a tattoo of her face.

Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders engaged in a heated exchange over their records on Social Security and Medicare during a crowdless debate.

The hosts compare the interaction to "two guys in the park yelling over checkers."

Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg questioned Prime Minister Theresa May's leadership following a summit at Chequers. Rees-Mogg alleged that the Prime Minister's Brexit proposals were pre-cleared with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Brussels officials before being presented to the British cabinet.

The hosts discuss Vladimir Putin's recent moves in Syria and Ukraine, noting his ability to fill power vacuums left by the United States.

A specific bug in the iPhone's iOS 8 autocorrect system is identified, where the software fails to correct common single-letter typos like "s" instead of "a" in a sentence. Despite the integration of cloud-based "big data" and advanced grammar checking, these simple errant keystrokes often remain uncorrected. The failure is contrasted with the aggressive correction of other, more complex words.

The hosts review clips from the UK Parliament, comparing the behavior of MPs to Monty Python characters. MP Claire Perry is heard referencing the anniversary of the moon landing and "conspiracy theorists" while questioning the Prime Minister.
