In this edition of Ally Audio, Noah and Scott chat about some of the bills vetoed by Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo, as he sets a new record for the number of bills vetoed from one legislative session.

Then, a brief history of the use of military troops to quell protests and riots domestically, in the wake of ongoing protests and military presence in Los Angeles.

We wrap up with our favorite (and only) game on Ally Audio: Grocery Price Tracker! The latest numbers are in for May and we’re quizzing Scott on his knowledge of current prices of some essential items.
