With Brittney Merlot off today, we get to hear more stories that flew Under the Radar. Later, Rokker joins the show as he does every Friday to talk local music on tap over the weekend, and some Packer songs for the big game tonight.

Gordy's gone! Unfortunately, he's been chained to the bathroom door in preparation for his colonoscopy today. John and Sam cover the National Days: Be Late for Something Day, and Cheese Pizza Day, before getting into What's Trending: John's class reunion. We also hear how Trump is holding rallies in "sundown towns," locations that have had brushes with Jim Crow and racism in the past, and also how Russian interference is demonstrably playing a role in this election.

Later, in the Idiocracy, we chat with Gordy, knee deep in the hell of prep for his procedure later this morning, and hear Jeanine Piro's ignorant comments on Harris's accent. We also listen to a bit of JD Vance, with his backward views on the unaffordability of starting a family. In Health News, the discussion turns to RFK Jr., and how he is directly responsible for the deaths of children due to his antivax activism, before we close the hour talking the closure of maternity wards across the country.

Terry Bell joins the show to begin hour two with the Big Story: (likely unsuccessful) calls to cancel the Packer game in Brazil this week. John's big story, after much digging to find the cut, is Steve Ratner fact checking Trump's claims about the economy. We hear about Tim Walz' love of benefit-defined pensions, then check in with Brittney Merlot for a look at the earthly and interplanetary weather. We hear about the mythical Cheddar Goblin, bringer of Mac 'n Cheese, then welcome Mike McCabe into the studio for his weekly appearance. They discuss the Fairness Doctrine and the effect of it's repeal on cable TV and the internet, as well as how we can regulate social media today without the extremes of a complete ban, or free reign.

This morning the guys banter about Gordy's colonoscopy, then check the National Day Calendar. We hear about Today in History with Sam, then learn What's Trending with John. Later, after a brief discussion about programming changes at Civic Media, we enter the Idiocracy to laugh about "The Weave" by Trump, and John's own version of "The Weave." Closing out hour one, we talk bad Elvis movies, hear what's going on at the theater now, and other assorted bits of John and Gordy's Media World.

We check in with News Director Terry Bell to hear about his weekend, and the Big Story, the student from UW Whitewater shot over the weekend, before moving on to some (slightly) lighter news about the latest presidential campaign stop in the state.

Later, Trump gets compared to Lex Luthor in Media World, we enlighten Gordy to the existence of LARPing, and John talks a new fast-charging battery, before closing out with a comparison on the Trump and Harris tax plans.

John and Gordy, back after a 3-day weekend, have a bear of a time figuring out who's headphones are who's. They all share a laugh about Sam's new, free bong, then cover the National Day Calendar, grabbing their balls to go bowling. They Remember James Darren, then check out What's Trending: protests against Netanyahu in Israel. In the Idiocracy, we hear Trump's latest brush with racism, a boarder security official disputing data showing migrant encounters are declining, and Trump's new grift: a collector coin, and Trumpy Trout. In Health News, John covers an initiative to block DACA kids from accessing federal healthcare, and with back-to-school in full swing, some data on how child vaccinations save taxpayers money.
