Rolling Stone Magazine released a revised list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, featuring Aretha Franklin's "Respect" at number one. The list includes Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" at number three and Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" at number two. Critics describe the new rankings as "woke" and designed primarily to generate social media attention through controversial placements.

A report from the Education Department reveals that only a quarter of eighth graders are proficient in history, civics, and geography. The hosts joke that this lack of knowledge is not new, playing Sam Cooke's "Wonderful World," and share an anecdote about a modern astronomy class that never used a telescope.
