Reports the arrest of a 25-year-old trainee welder who allegedly texted a hijack threat to a friend aboard a Las Vegas-to-Newark United flight, forcing the plane back to Vegas while he slept. The reaction is that it was a joke and the flight should have continued. - [South Korea straw study](https://boilpoints.com/point/south_korea_straw_study_3510654650), 2026-10-29: **Cites study ranking plastic straws over paper**. Reports a South Korean study finding plastic straws beat paper in 10 of 16 categories, then pivots to a broader rant: a Nevada solar plant shutting down early, recycling not working, and the catalytic converter as the lone environmental success. - [Gates runs for California AG](https://boilpoints.com/point/gates_runs_for_california_ag_3711301242), 2026-10-29: **Adds Gates claim Bonta covered for fraud**. Long stretch of the Gates interview on California's leadership failures: process people, one-party rule, the LAX people mover, Skid Row. Adds Gates's on-the-record claim that Bonta covered for $425 billion in fraud and abuse rather than investigate it. - [Gates runs for California AG](https://boilpoints.com/point/gates_runs_for_california_ag_3711301242), 2026-10-29: **Interviews Gates on his AG campaign pitch**. Long interview with Gates about his attorney general bid: his Huntington Beach record, a claimed 60 percent overnight drop in homelessness, Spanish-language outreach, and pledges to end Bonta's suits over hospital transition surgeries and school sports. Mostly campaign pitch and opinion. - [Waltz suspends Cuba meeting](https://boilpoints.com/point/waltz_suspends_cuba_meeting_78479584), 2026-10-28: **Pivots from Waltz clash to UN tile**. Plays the Waltz exchange at the UN, then pivots to a long riff on the building's jade tile and Britney Spears's grout lines. The diplomatic clash is reported in passing; the tile is the segment. - [Trump's Maher post](https://boilpoints.com/point/trumps_maher_post_3730027004), 2026-10-27: **Guesses at the trigger behind Trump's Maher post**. Works through the Truth Social post and TMZ's account of it, then spends most of the segment guessing at the trigger - Maher's monologue jokes, the Caroline Leavitt interview - and riffing on Trump's toggle-switch style. The catalyst stays a question. - [Irish consent ad backlash](https://boilpoints.com/point/irish_consent_ad_backlash_2264013707), 2026-10-26: **Plays and mocks the Irish consent ad**. Plays the Irish We-Consent.ie ad and mocks it, arguing consent PSAs never reach the people who need them. No detail on who funded or runs the campaign. - [Modern Times drops prices](https://boilpoints.com/point/modern_times_drops_prices_1007648620), 2026-10-21: **Reports the no-price restaurant closing**. Reports that Dylan Elverson's no-price Minneapolis restaurant is closing and argues the location made paying customers unlikely, then drifts into a long digression on the lack of German, Polish and Hungarian food in Los Angeles. - [Jay-Z Super Bowl report](https://boilpoints.com/point/jay_z_super_bowl_report_143071231), 2026-10-21: **Reports Jay-Z reportedly picking himself**. Rudy Pavich reports that Jay-Z, the key decision maker on the halftime act, has reportedly picked himself for the 2027 show. Adam argues the pick reflects a narrow in-group and pitches an all-star rock band playing other people's songs. - [Six Flags coaster death](https://boilpoints.com/point/six_flags_coaster_death_3458002327), 2026-10-21: **Riffs on the coaster death and predicts a lawsuit**. Turns a fatal roller coaster fall at Six Flags Over Georgia into riffs on the victim's name, airport security and burdensome baby names. The only substance is a guess that rider error caused the fall and a prediction that the family will sue the park. - [Gillis SNL monologue backlash](https://boilpoints.com/point/gillis_snl_monologue_backlash_2348264832), 2026-10-21: **Adds Miller's call to Gillis after the firing**. TJ Miller's Reynolds and Lively anecdotes drift into a long Armenian-BMW riff, then return to the Gillis backlash as evidence of an internet appetite for control. Miller says he talked to Gillis right after he lost the job; no new development in the SNL story. - [Gillis SNL monologue backlash](https://boilpoints.com/point/gillis_snl_monologue_backlash_2348264832), 2026-10-21: **Debates comics critiquing each other's material**. TJ Miller and the hosts take up the Gillis monologue backlash and stay inside the reaction: comics shouldn't critique each other's material, the complainers are attention seekers, and the word 'whore' is what set people off. Miller's Maron and Flappers anecdotes are asides. - [Bucks County lynching display](https://boilpoints.com/point/bucks_county_lynching_display_1768153266), 2026-10-20: **Picks up a local Fox report on the display**. Picks up a local Fox report on a Pennsylvania Halloween display: an NAACP chapter calls the hanging corpse racist, the homeowner says it is a creepy graveyard built from an online corpse kit, and the borough inspector's visit ended with him refusing to take it down. Mostly jokes about costumes and the First Amendment. - [Talarico's CNN townhall](https://boilpoints.com/point/talaricos_cnn_townhall_3125110895), 2026-10-19: **Plays the townhall clip and rebuttal**. Plays the Talarico clip and the professor's Ten Commandments rebuttal, then pivots to his drag queen answer and a riff that Democrats like him and El-Sayed moved the party's goalposts. The exchange itself is only recapped. - [Peter King's The Game](https://boilpoints.com/point/peter_kings_the_game_862480836), 2026-10-19: **Walks through the book's officiating chapter**. King walks through the 2013 chapter of The Game, built on a day with back judge Dino Paganelli in Wyoming, Michigan: a widowed single father and social studies teacher who does about three hours of game homework at night. Uses it to argue fans should accept officiating imperfection. - [Peter King's The Game](https://boilpoints.com/point/peter_kings_the_game_862480836), 2026-10-19: **Reads the Super Bowl chapter aloud**. King reads from the book's Super Bowl chapter: how Foles and Pederson put 41 points on Belichick and Brady, framed by Mike Shanahan's line that there is a way to win every game. It is a taste of the book's contents, not a new development about it. - [Peter King's The Game](https://boilpoints.com/point/peter_kings_the_game_862480836), 2026-10-19: **Introduces the book and its word count**. Introduces Peter King and his book The Game: 550-something pages, 192,000 words after a 30,000-word cut, and an audiobook he recorded himself over nine days. Mostly banter about children's books and King's voice.
