John's birthday kicks off with technical bliss as Todd Allbaugh's absence brings studio order. Gordy surprises John with a fun birthday song, while the duo debates 'Would You Rather' scenarios. They tackle Madison's traffic, lament local fair cancellations due to rain, and explore the Wisconsin Ice Cream Trail with Pam Jahnke! A deep dive into idiocracy unfolds with Marjorie Taylor Greene's realization of economic struggles, and a shocking IRS proposal allowing political endorsements in churches. Tom Tiffany and Glenn Grothman's bizarre call to Canada to curb wildfire smoke sparks ridicule, reminding us of the absurdities in politics.
