John and Gordy kick off the show with their usual banter before John launches into a tirade against plastic straws, which Trump is trying to reverse the phase-out of. For a semblance of normalcy Gordy walks us through the National Day Calendar, and we check in with Sam for Today in History, and to talk bikes. In Idiocracy today, the guys cover just how DOGE is evaluating federal employees, in a kangaroo court by his 20-somethings minions. We hear from Robin Vos, who we don't like, about Mike Gableman, who we don't like even more. Funny thing is, Mike, who should be disbarred for challenging the 2020 election, is getting to be close friends with Brad Schimel, candidate for SCOWI. Closing out, we cover the story about how funding cut to the NIH and other agencies are crippling research at universities.
