The 5 o’clock hour kicks off with major local headlines — from extreme cold weather and school policy changes to national championships and controversial legislation. Dr. Ken declares himself an “extreme centrist” and pushes back against political extremes as calls and texts pour in. The conversation heats up when Sandra connects the brutal cold to climate change, leading to a broader discussion on weather, policy, and perspective. Dr. Ken also tackles a surprisingly popular question: Is it legal to flash your headlights in Wisconsin? The hour wraps with grounded, common-sense conversation that challenges listeners to think beyond talking points and focus on facts.
