TGIF + Yarmouth Clam Festival

The conversation shifts to the weather, with hopes for an Indian Summer in August. They also touch on the decline in ratings for late-night shows, including Stephen Colbert’s announcement of his show’s final season. The discussion includes personal anecdotes and plans for upcoming events, including a gathering at our GM’s house.
