John and Gordy return from a long weekend, diving into light-hearted banter about post-holiday blues, upcoming Brewer games, and local events like back-to-school season. Dom the Producer shares tales from a sunburned weekend at the Dells, while John bemoans Menards' rebate policy. They debate Wild West outlaws vs. pirates and muse on stingray pets, with a nod to Steve Irwin's tragic encounter. They critique Rudy Giuliani's fall from grace, delve into political musings about renaming the Department of Defense, and highlight adorable adoptable pets from the Dane County Humane Society, including a shy tabby and a cranky hamster.
