During a flurry of idle chatter, John and Morton exchange thoughts about Bingo, The Lottery (very bad for kids), amending the Indiana constitution (very bad, too much clutter), making ATMs into gambling machines, negotiating improvement in a private road, and wasteful spending by a neighborhood. 

If that were not enough, the two old men then conclude that in Indiana, change is impossible.

Irena Goloschokin left Russia in 1989 with $90.  Now she is a successful, honored, Indianapolis businesswoman who supports her adopted community through public radio and The New World Youth Orchestra, among others.  Meanwhile, she helps to manage Copper Mountain Technologies and its award-winning product, the vectren network analyzer (which tests radio frequency devices.)

Morton and John talk gerrymandering with former Indiana Supreme Court Justice Theodore Boehm.  Topics considered are term limits, early decisions about apportionment, inherited seats, how "fairness" may be measured, and how gerrymandered districts favor election of persons with radical (not centrist) points of view.

During "Sound Off," John talks about the profound effects of The Heartland International Film Festival.

Mollianne Cameron, her husband Russell, and their children Cavan, Clara and Scott, wrote, produced, edited, directed and distributed "Lakota Girls," an historical drama about Indian life, racial prejudice, and lasting friendship.

Long-time, retired, Marian University professor William Doherty talks about teaching, the significance of teaching humanities, whether any person who uses Facebook is a "fool," and whether The Kavanaugh nomination will be "historic."

Answer:  depends on how long he serves, and future events.

At the end, John reflects on the importance--the temporary importance--that people assign to an investment fad, to a current event, and to the risks of both investing and life.

Kurt Vonnegut Library historian, William Briscoe, gives a concise biography of the novelist while describing the library in down town Indianapolis.  

In "Sound Off" at the conclusion, Morton suggests that utilizing federal funds for local infrastructure projects does not reflect true local priorities and efficiencies.

Adam Todd, Manager of The Nora Branch of The Indianapolis Public Library, talks about services, inter library loan, PLAC cards which allow persons to use libraries all over Indiana, and management challenges.

In "Sound Off" at the end, John talks about the big lies.

Stan Soderstrom, Executive Director of Kiwanis International, talks about the history of service clubs and prescriptions for success.

At the end, John tells about his experience taking a world class violinist to school groups.

David Bride, President of the Central Indiana Chapter of the AFL-CIO (with 25,000 members) talks about right-to-work, Labor Fest (an annual labor day celebration on Georgia Street), and his six-year-old daughter who convinced Mayor Hogsett to visit her school.

In "Shout Out" at the end, Morton advocates cross training between emergency and police personnel.

This unstructured, unscripted conversation leads to a lesson in fundamental economics, hedge funds, debt (local,national,corporate) the stock market, Paul Samuelson, and a share of meaningless frivolity.
