John and Gordy kick off the episode with playful banter about the weather forecast, and of course the National Day Calendar with the likes of Crepe Suzette Day. They explore the origins of the ice maker and Roger Bannister's historic four-minute mile. The conversation takes a turn as they delve into Naomi Klein's insights on 'end times fascism,' highlighting a dystopian future driven by corporate greed and apocalyptic beliefs. They also touch on the Trump administration's chaotic first 100 days, marked by blunders and reversals. The episode wraps up with local events like the Madison Night Market and the latest Marvel film, Thunderbolts.
