John & Gordy

John and Gordy reminisce about their time in radio in the early 90s, and recount the story of Gordy accidentally burning the station owner's carpet with a cigarette. They briefly tackle the National Day Calendar, open today's history books, and talk about what's trending in town today: VP Harris. In Idiocracy, we continue the comparison of Walz and Vance from yesterday (and how Vance and other Republicans are wrecking the government, to complain about wrecked government), and close out with shocking hateful and racist comments from Senator Kennedy of Louisiana.

With Terry Bell out for the next few days, John is responsible for the Big Story, and he kicks it off with a non-story. Instead, he takes the opportunity to run through a laundry list of cuts from Tim Walz and JD Vance on a variety of issues, showcasing the sheer differences between the two candidates. We check in with Brittney Merlot for a check of the weather, and to hear her history with extreme sports. Later, Alanna Medearis and Jim Kreul join the show to talk about the Overture's Duck Soup Cinema series, which will be kicking off soon, showcasing popular and niche silent movies of the past. Constantly running out of time for John's cuts, the guys instead finish the show with more talk on Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

John and Gordy kick off discussing their time at the movies last night to see Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, courtesy of AARP.

In Idiocracy, we get the scoop on an Ohio Sheriff suggesting the people take down names of Harris supporters to persecute them if Trump is elected, and Trump's latest ask of Republicans: shut down the government. Wrapping up the hour, we hear the first responses by legislative Republicans who want to deny funding once again to the UW System.

Terry Bell joins the guys to kick off hour two with the Big Story: Madison schools running out of money for school lunches. After that we get our AI fix for the day, as we all share a laugh about a voice deepfake of Harris being shared by MAGAs on Truth Social. We check in with Brittney Merlot for a look at the earthly and interplanetary weather, then transition to talking more broadly about the environment, and Trump's plan to "turn on the faucet," supplying California with more water.

Mike McCabe joins us after the break as he does every Wednesday, to talk with the guys about his latest article on Substack, talking about baseball, memories, and James Earl Jones. The guys also talk about the best baseball movies, and look forward to seeing the latest one, "Just A Bit Outside," the story of the 1982 Brewers.

John, Gordy, and Sam kick off the show arguing with the machines in the studio about the weather, talk today's National Day Calendar, and Jimi Hendrix. In What's Trending, we get the scoop on how the EU is now getting a majority of its power from wind and solar.

Later in the Idiocracy, we hear Jordan Peterson's unhinged take on the C40 Consortium, a collection of cities pledging to be more environmentally friendly. The rest of the segment, John breaks down JD Vance's explanation of Trump's healthcare "plan," going on a tirade against the argument for "insurance choice" which doesn't really exist. Wrapping up the hour, the discussion turns to the defense by governor DeWine of Ohio, of the Haitian immigrants in Springfield.

Terry Bell is here to kick off hour two with the Big Story: a school bus accident yesterday where several children were injured. We launch into a tirade against JD Vance, who now has admitted he's making up the story about eating pets in Springfield, Ohio, and is continuing to spread it. We check in with Brittney Merlot for today's weather, then talk with Joanne Berg from the Monroe Street Festival, to get the scoop on the event happening this weekend.

Later, we finally get to hear the song teased yesterday, a schoolhouse rock-esque tune about Project 2025. We get Pete Buttigieg's take on the situation in Springfield, and how the Trump campaign is using the Haitian immigrant story as a distraction, before closing with leftovers: a slipup by Rich Lowery, where he referred to Haitians as the N word.

John and Gordy talk about throwing up on balls after hearing the news that it happened during a football game Sunday. They cover the National Day Calendar, and laugh about Today in History, as we celebrate the Who destroying their instruments for the first time on TV. In What's Trending, John talks the disgusting suggestions by high profile people that assassination attempts should take place on Harris and Biden, like what has happened to Trump.

In the Idiocracy, we hear the sob story of Nick Fuentes, young neo-Nazi who only now has realized that Trump was lying about the election, as well as some economics, comparing the Trump record with Biden, as well as Harris's upcoming plan. Wrapping up the hour, Gordy and Sam team up against John to pull him away from politics and instead talk about the most popular dog names in the state. John gets the final word though, with one more bit of Idiocracy, about Florida's Department of Health now recommending seniors not get vaccinated.

John and Gordy kick off the week with an argument. Not with each other, but with their new in-studio computer assistant, over the current temperature. We get into the National Day Calendar, and also talk Today in History with Sam. In the Idiocracy, we hear some of the darndest things that MAGAs say, Russian-sponsored propaganda in the US, and the bizarre grift of Trump assassination-attempt themed bobble heads. Wrapping up the hour with Media World, John covers a new Legos set for the Brewers sausages, and an extension on the deadline for Real ID.
