In hour two, John and Gordy are joined by Deb Watterson, owner of Sugar River Pizza, to talk about her restaurant, and winning Best of Madison awards two years running. Brittney Merlot joins the show right on schedule to take a look at the (cold!) weather, and then we dive into the Big Story: federal charges against three of the Wisconsin fake electors from the 2020 election. Later, the discussion turns to Luigi Mangione, suspected killer of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The guys look at the issue from all angles: as a form of vigilante justice, as commentary on the state of healthcare and wealth distribution in America, and also in comparison to a right wing vigilante: Kyle Rittenhouse.
