This Thursday morning, we kick off with John's rationale for having a (smart) flip phone, and for watching TV while you drive. Gordy manages to pull him away with the National Day Calendar, along with Sam, discussing earthquakes and Viagra for Today in History. Later, after a couple week hiatus, we welcome on Dr. Tim Slekar to talk education - and the continued dissolution of it. Specifically, they touch on how student loan administration is moving to the Small Business Administration, and the chaos its causing to higher education. They talk more chaos, caused by Moms for Liberty at school board meetings, and chat with a caller about a candidate for MMSD school board they endorse. Wrapping up, the discussion turns to AI, and also the world happiness index - on which the US continues to fall.
