John and Gordy dive into a whirlwind of topics, from the reveal of producer Dom's real middle name to an amusing tale about a battery-operated pedestal fan. Kathryn calls in with a hilarious anecdote about Pete Schwaba's fasting mishap, and the episode takes a serious turn with Mike McCabe, discussing historical farmer revolts in Wisconsin and their impact on policy. The duo also discusses a contentious bill (the Big Bad Bill) affecting social safety nets and state responsibilities. Meteorologist Brittany Merlot joins to talk about the weather near and far, as distant as space! The show wraps with a nod to past agricultural struggles and future possibilities.
