Zon and Ian talk about what it's like to return to the State House after the session "ends", to wrap up loose ends and pass final bills. They discuss H.454 at length, otherwise known as the education bill, which has moved and evolved quite a bit throughout the 2025 session. Johnny asks Ian and Zon what they've been listening to lately.

Zon and Ian discuss their first year in the legislature as it wraps up. They talk about what it's like to walk onto the house floor for the very first time, learning what all those acronyms mean, and what their day-to-day is like in Montpelier. Also, Zon learns how to reverse search images on his iPhone.
