John and Gordy get sloppy to start things out today, talking Sloppy Joe Day and all the other fake holidays on the National Day Calendar. We check in with Sam for Today in History, and dive into politics, discussing the wild stories coming out of the White House "writer's room." Continuing after the bottom of the hour, we dive head first into Idiocracy. The guys talk about the latest instance of the Trump administration disobeying court orders, and also talk Ukraine. As Marjorie Taylor Greene is working to revise history, the leading scholar of Ukraine in the US schools her on Nazism, Russia, and the ongoing war of aggression by the country. Wrapping up the first hour, we welcome in Lisa Bernard from the Dane County Humane Society for her biweekly appearance, getting the scoop on three pets currently up for adoption.
