In the first hour we talk politics with Marathon County Democratic Party chairperson Nancy Stencil. From the Democratic race for Governor, recruiting candidates locally, the situation in Minneapolis and the response of national Democrats plus more.

In the second hour it's a smorgasbord of issues: the Brewers trade Freddy Peralta to the Mets. Chad hates it. The cold weather leads to postponements including tonight's scheduled big hockey match up between Wausau West and SPASH. Chad hates that too. Finally a discussion on the importance of 2026. There have been historically significant years throughout the United States' history. This will likely be one of those years.
