Adam Curry and Mo discuss the cold weather in Austin and Northern Virginia on November 2, 2020, jokingly attributing the freezing temperatures to a weather machine intended for voter suppression. They reflect on the lack of trick-or-treaters during the COVID-19 pandemic and the likelihood of a contested election similar to the 2000 Florida recount.

The hosts discuss the decision by tech giants to pause facial recognition sales to police, suggesting it was a practical move because masks made the technology useless. They argue that wearing masks psychologically emboldens people to commit crimes, comparing the atmosphere to the anonymity of Halloween.
