The hosts discuss recent heavy rain in Austin, Texas, noting that the local Pride Parade was affected by weather for the second consecutive year. They debate the use of "rainstick karma," a show ritual blamed for excessive precipitation, and decide to put the practice in abeyance to avoid further flooding.
The hosts sign off with their traditional "In the Morning" greeting and a discussion about rainsticks. Adam Curry shares a brief anecdote about a trip to Hollywood, visiting Paramount Studios and meeting with producers from "The Blacklist" and E! News host Cat Sadler.
