It’s Episode 10, y’all—and we went big.

To mark this milestone, we brought in two major guests who know a thing or two about leadership, policy, and staying grounded in unpredictable times.

First up, it’s VP Candidate & Minnesota Governor Tim Walz—a teacher, veteran, and former congressman who gets real about everything from balancing budgets to raising teenagers. He talks about his time in the National Guard, losing his father at 19, and why public service isn’t about popularity—it’s about showing up for the people who need you most. And yes, we dive into Medicare, SNAP, disaster relief, and what it really means to lead during divided times.

Then we switch gears and welcome Pinterest CEO Bill Ready, who shares how he went from learning to code in high school to running one of the world’s biggest tech companies. He breaks down the future of AI, the dangers of addictive tech, and why some schools are going phone-free. Plus, he throws a little friendly shade at Andy for being a Vanderbilt grad...right after Louisville knocked them out of the College World Series. (Ouch.)

Meanwhile, Jon (the better-looking one—his words) is holding it down while the other John enjoys the wilderness of Alaska. The guys break down everything from NIL drama to global politics that look more like a bad high school breakup.

🎙️ In My Kentucky Accent, Andy gets personal about the Rule of Law—why it’s the cornerstone of our democracy, what it means when presidents ignore it, and why he’s fighting to protect it for future generations.

From bipartisan dysfunction to AI ethics, teacher respect to trillion-dollar bills, this episode packs a punch—and brings the kind of honest conversation you won’t hear anywhere else.
