Amidst the morning banter, John and Gordy dive into a variety of engaging stories with our WMDX News Bureau Chief Savanna Tomei-Olson. She reveals the bittersweet closure of George's Flowers after decades of business then shift to the bizarre of Schoep's Ice Cream leaking mysterious colored liquids into storm drains, prompting health inspections. The show also highlights efforts to reignite Wisconsin's film industry with proposed tax incentives, aiming to draw Hollywood back to the scenic state. Lastly, they critique Senator Ron Johnson's 9/11 conspiracy comments through a spirited rebuke from a first responder, John Feal. Later, we take a break from politics as Rökker makes his weekly appearance, showcasing what's on tap for Max Ink Radio this weekend, along with other local bands you can go see.
