Episode #7001: America the Beautiful Day 1

Well, everyone, it's Monday, so we can get out of the tomato bath now. I know it wasn't the best way to celebrate our 7,000th episode, but that's just how it goes, sometimes. Hopefully, we'll have a win in the Bonus Round this week to end this long streak of Bonus Round losses, but I wouldn't get my hopes up on this. Anyway, let's just get into tonight's recap.
