John & Gordy

It was a great week for John and Gordy! We start off on Friday, where they check in with Terry Bell for the Big Story, and to get his plans for the long Labor Day weekend, before launching into condemnation of Trump for his misogynistic reposting of memes, and the latest attack without teeth on Harris, alleging that she wants to ban menthol cigarettes. We hear from their discussion with Robert Pilot, host of Native Roots Radio on, and beyond the Civic Media network, and also their chat with Ben Penrod, organizer of MadEx, a comic con coming to town in the coming weeks. Closing out, we hear from their Wednesday show where, in Media World, John talks about an AI TV enhancement that allows you to smell a scene on screen.

In hour two, the guys talk with Terry Bell for the Big Story: West Nile virus on the rise, resulting in two recent Wisconsin deaths. John covers a misogynistic and demeaning post shared by Trump, where he asserts that Harris and Hilary Clinton both utilized oral sex in advancing their careers. We hear a bizarre campaign ad taking aim at Harris for banning menthol cigarettes (which she didn't initiate, and hasn't been finalized), before checking in with Brittney Merlot for a look at the weather before the long Labor Day weekend. We briefly hear a cut from Trump's town hall in La Crosse last night, before the guys welcome in Rokker to the studio for a preview of Max Ink and local music for the weekend.

We recap the Arlington debacle with a comment by Steve Schmidt, on Trump, and later in the Idiocracy, hear about revised GDP numbers in a booming economy. From Nick Offerman, our ears get treated to a song, "Kamala Man," dedicated to all the Republicans for Harris. Gordy remembers friend, boss, and unofficial mayor of Wisconsin Dells Tom Diehl, before we close in Media World with warnings for the future by George Orwell.

In hour two, we're joined by News Director Terry Bell for the Big Story: Covid on the rise, but simultaneously, the latest vaccine rolling out at pharmacies. The discussion turns to the upcoming (?) debates, and we get a sample of what Harris's performance might be like, with a recording of her debate with Mike Pence in 2019. We hear about Walz' love for Menards again, then check in with Brittney Merlot to learn about corn sweat, and to get the forecast for the day. Later, Mike McCabe makes his weekly appearance, and the guys chat with him about using our intuition to determine what is true, break down Eric Hovde's claims about women (aka "females"), and reminisce about X's former life as Twitter.

With Gordy back after his mysterious disappearance yesterday, we share a laugh over the National Day Calendar, then get into what's trending: the heat wave, Tim Walz' love for Menards, and Eric Hovde's (dumb) mailings. In the Idiocracy, we hear a commercial for Trump's new (digital) trading cards, Tucker Carlson calling Tim Walz "weird," and the juxtaposition of Trump asking for donations from his private jet. In Media World, we hear about MovieScent, an AI-powered scent enhancement for media, and a coming sequel to The Devil Wears Prada.

Terry Bell joins us to kick off the second hour with the Big Story, on SCoWI allowing Jill Stein to stay on the ballot.

The discussion turns to Mark Cuban, now supporting Harris, and debunking claims that she'll regulate prices. Wrapping up the hour with Health News, John and Kathryn talk the real-world effects of a national abortion ban.

In hour two, John and Gordy talk with News Director Terry Bell, back in Madison after the DNC last week. They talk the Big Story of the day, as both presidential campaigns go nose-to-the-grindstone for the final push to the election. We talk BRT, and John's beef with the new bus-only lanes, and also check in with Brittney Merlot to get the Inside on the Outside, on the hot weather for the next couple days. After the break, in Media World, we talk teen cellphone use, landlords opposing a 'right to air conditioning,' and lifeguarding drones. Closing out, the show becomes the Harris fanclub, as we hear some audio showcasing Kamala's humility.
