When the chips are down and democracy's back is up against the wall, two radio veterans step up to the microphone to right the wrongs, standing for truth, justice, and just because.

Hey, are they ready to go yet?

It's John and Gordy on 92.7

WMDX.

Well, the

poll question is, if you go to WMDXradio.com, you can find it there.

Which side of town?

No, that's not it.

Has it

better East or West Madison?

Yeah.

Which side of town has it better?

East or West?

Yeah.

Madison.

Well, Casper can

always look for my email that I sent.

my poll questions in.

I've only seen one.

And there is a second one somewhere in the ether.

So she'll

have

to kind of go through the thousands of emails against daily.

Catherine and John are going

to start fighting after the show now.

Well,

it

looks

like

it's going to have to be the famous arm wrestling tournament that we gave up on.

Gordy, you know, we used to have

John and Gordy arm wrestling tournaments.

I don't

remember

that.

We toured greater Gaines County.

And it got a little out of hand.

And we decided that we had to call an end to it.

Some

fist fights broke out.

Mainly in the crowd.

Arm wrestlers were well-behaved.

But the crowd got unruly.

Well, I think it was when the motorcycle gang started participating.

It's

soured a little bit.

Yeah.

And then the tattoo, uh, people showed

up and started giving

everybody tattoo.

That's right.

Whether they wanted them or not.

Yep.

Yeah.

It was sad.

And well, you know, he had to be called in.

Sometimes, sometimes his ideas work out.

Sometimes they don't.

That's the way it is with promotional things.

Yep.

Catherine says I can take him.

Okay, it's eight minutes past the hour.

It's it's a cloudy start this morning on this Monday John Peterson Gordy young he's pacing Dom

Lee's in my question Because you know people at least need a couple a couple of weeks break from my question.

Yes, I think so Pretty edgy stuff.

I know tethered weather wise today what boy well

We all know what kind of weekend we had.

That was something

else, wasn't

it?

Boy, the people in Milwaukee, holy

man.

What a nightmare.

We're checking out our chat.

from the folks in Milwaukee and they're experiencing flooding basements in the three to four feet

of

sewage essentially in their basements.

And I guess one of the excuses was that right wing radio would make a big deal about Milwaukee dumping a lot of this water into the lake.

So they decided, so we can thank right wing radio for the basements with sewage three or four feet deep in their basements.

Okay, no problem there

Well around here and now we had a power outage downtown in some spots

we did I did not know that

well there was some flooding but no beneath the Ground here.

Yeah, and there was I saw video this morning on NBC 15 them

smoke just billowing out of sewer grate.

A manhole.

What

the hell's going on

down

there?

We had an explosion that we were at a restaurant and we heard and almost saw the walls collapse and now they've got smoke out of the grates.

Apparently there was an underground fire that was pretty well spread out.

You know, in scattered areas or underneath here in downtown area, mainly on West Wash and the 300 block and then in some other areas.

And they took care of it, but it took a while.

Yeah.

And I guess there were some power outages and yeah.

Wow.

But that's all, I think it's all up to, it's all, everything's going okay now.

Except for

studio

CBD over

here.

There's always an issue.

You know, it's a Monday.

I said a

marijuana.

Well, that's why they call that studio CBD.

I always smelled a little funny around

here.

Really?

What's the name?

What do they call the

studio?

That's A2.

A2, OK.

And this is A1, not to be confused with the steak sauce, but why didn't they make it 1A and 2A?

Yeah.

Or just Studio A and Studio B. I don't know what they go A to.

Studio A doesn't make any

sense.

I don't know.

It sounds professional.

Does that mean that Pat's not on?

No, Pat's on, I think.

He's on,

yeah.

My hands are up.

Maybe.

My hands are up?

I don't know.

You're not so sure, are you?

No, I'm not.

You know, it's back to school time and this portion of our show is brought to you by Virlo Mattress.

You can start the school year off right with a mattress set built for your student.

Yes, it's time for them to get a better night's sleep with a new Virlo Mattress for bigger dreams that your student needs.

Well, for bigger dreams for your student, they need the best sleep.

And for that, it's got to be Verlo.

Check them out on the east side of Madison or the west side of Madison.

Verlo.com.

That's Verlo.com.

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

So how was your weekend?

What happened with

you?

I had a pretty good relaxing weekend.

I sat around the house and did my show prep.

That's all I do.

I

always check the show prep because I'm also attached to the file.

And I

see that you just edited it recently.

And I'm like, it's every single day.

It was Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

You were on it.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm

constantly going to stuff I I know and Anna Anna's happy about that because it you know busy hands are happy And

out of out of her way So so I was gonna mow the lawn on Saturday and of course a rain all day.

Yeah Well, there goes that well you

picked a good day to do that

now.

I was gonna nice plan.

I was gonna trim up the

the sticker, I have these, these thicker, thicker.

Yeah, I know what you do.

I know

what you do.

I mean, they're awful.

Yeah.

And they just grow incredibly fast.

Yeah.

And I was going to do some more trimming of that.

I trimmed the side of the house, but I was going to do the front of that.

So those plans went up in smoke that went away.

Yeah.

Couldn't really do anything.

No, you couldn't do a thing.

And then Saturday, I was going to go to the Atwood Music Hall to see a silent movie.

Phantom of the Opera, silent movie, but instead of having like a piano player or somebody playing a keyboard, they were going to have a DJ doing modern DJ music to Phantom

of the

Opera.

But

I

got over there, I could not, I drove around that area for like 10.

Couldn't find a place.

Couldn't find a parking place anywhere because the Barrymore had a big show.

They had the Liverpool show, you know, the fake Beatles show.

And so that was jam packed.

That's entertaining.

I went to one of

those five or six years ago.

I've been to a few of them.

Those

guys probably retired and they've got

a whole new bunch of Beatles.

It kind of kills the delivery when you know they're like...

55 years old.

Don't quite fit into those trim, slim, beetle suits anymore.

They don't look like them.

They kind of sound like them.

Wow.

I

don't know.

The group I saw were younger individuals, but you know, the Dells, maybe you're talking about, you know, the performers at the Dells, those seniors.

This is where they go in their retirement years.

That's right.

Which, by the way, I believe we're

building a studio over there too.

Are we?

Our retirement studio?

Our retirement studio in

the Delts.

I'll just have a couple of microphones that are not

connected to anything.

Exactly.

A couple of rocking chairs.

And have a lot, you know, us in a windowed room where

people can see the two

guys.

Oh yeah.

Some kind of zoo animals.

It won't be long.

We'll be there.

All right, so we get to... Tom, what did you do this week?

You went to Illinois, didn't you?

Yeah, I went back home.

I actually went back home.

And as I was coming back to Madison, it was flooding, right?

In Milwaukee,

I had to go

all the way around.

So it was like a four-hour drive back to Madison.

It was way too long.

Well, why wouldn't you...

I just come up through Rockford anyway.

Wouldn't you come up that

way,

no?

You go up to Milwaukee and take a left?

Yeah, Rockford's,

I don't know.

Rockford's always busy.

Rockford's always, I don't know, always annoying.

I get kind of tired because it's

just

cornfields on cornfields.

I don't

know.

I kind of tried to maneuver my way around and it made it for a longer trip, but it was fun.

It was fun.

It was a good weekend

overall.

Alright.

But I think I know what time it is now.

You know.

You know what

time it is.

Let's hear it.

Oh, you know.

You know.

Oh, hit the music.

Here we go.

Okay.

Strap in.

Here we go.

We ready?

I think we're ready.

I think so.

Let's listen.

Here we go.

Oh, it's too good every single time.

Alright,

first

question.

Would you rather live in the world of the Jetsons or Looney Tunes?

Jetsons, man.

Jetsons?

I'm

still

living in the world of the Jetsons.

You talk

about that a lot.

Yeah, you do.

I don't know, Looney Tunes, that would be kind of a fun world to live in.

A cartoon world?

Well, didn't Shaq live in that for a while?

Space Jam.

Space Jam.

Yeah.

That's right, yeah.

Was that Space Jam really?

Yeah, that was

Michael Jordan.

Now that was Michael Jordan, right?

Yeah,

that was Michael

Jordan.

I think Shaq was a part of that movie though,

so I think he was partially right.

But it was really Michael Jordan.

Yeah, okay.

See, so you can live in that world.

Exactly.

Yeah, I would

say Mooney Tunes.

Yeah, okay.

I don't.

Just like Jetsons.

Jetsons, okay.

Second question.

Which would you rather fight, unarmed, to the death?

A chimpanzee or an alligator?

Alligator.

Alligator,

really?

Wow.

Oh, yeah.

I wouldn't want to kill a chimpanzee.

Why would I do that?

An alligator I'd feel a little bit better about, but, you

know.

Yeah, I guess that's true.

Yeah.

I would feel bad for both.

And here's the thing, you know, when I was younger, you go to the state fairs, all the fairs.

Yeah.

And they used to have stuff to...

Gators, do you remember those stuffed Gators?

Yeah

Stuffed either

crocodiles or alligators one or the other used to

have

stuff while they had them in the delts all over the damn place

Yeah

stuff, you know about three feet long or maybe two feet long Wow, you could buy them.

Yeah, they were real Wow, I don't I don't remember that I was and it wasn't a stuffed animals legit.

That's before animal cruelty became a huge Way before

Sorry about that.

I'd rather fight the chimpanzee.

I think that would be more fun.

I wouldn't want to do it

here.

To the death.

So you'd kill the chimp?

Really?

Not in favor of it.

Would you feel better about killing a alligator?

How would you feel when the alligator put the chomp on you?

That wouldn't be good.

You say monkeys bite too.

These are tricky questions.

You can't win.

You can't win

these.

You always

lose.

You always lose.

There's no good

answer.

No matter what.

You know, you found me kind of questioning a really dumb question.

OK.

19 Pass The Hour.

She's returned from her vacation.

Where was she up in Canada?

Yep.

She had a train ride for fans, I believe.

Okay.

Well, we'll find out all about that.

Coming up next on John and Gordy for a Monday morning on WMDX Madison.

You're listening to Civic Media.

WMDX 92.7 it's John and Gordy in the morning check us out on the Civic Media app choose the station listen to us text us and then voice notice as well because we want your participation

in

this program because every once in a while you run out of things to talk about no

that's not that has never happened

uh 6 23 weather for today kind of cloudy this morning 70 degrees highs in the low to mid 80s this afternoon and it's time for us to welcome the return of Pam Yonkey the fabulous farm babe is back from Canada you were on a farm tour up there right she was riding the

rails

yes yep

Yep, that's about right.

We had 43 folks on our trip, 43 listeners, viewers, followers, whatever, and

it

was a great bunch, that is for sure, but it was also very interesting to go across Canada.

I mentioned that we started in Calgary, just a short period of time there, and then on our way to Banff, which of course is a beautiful

uh national park for canada uh that looked in really good shape then on to jasper that's when we got on to the rails and uh took an overnight coach uh ride out to you know through cam loops all across canadian rockies and then ended up in vancouver and as we were coming across canadian rockies you could really see

why there were some issues with our air quality here in Wisconsin, because the last time that I looked, when we got to Seattle, they were talking about it.

The amount of fire that is currently burning in Canada is basically the size of Minnesota West.

That

tells you how big Canada is, first

of

all.

And then just fathom how many acres how many how much square area is burning when we were coming on the train We would get into some of the valleys or you know come across some valleys and you could tell that there was smoke there as well then we got to Vancouver Island Which is exceptionally dry talk to a bison producer there and I I swear to you I don't know how these animals were managing with nothing, but you know literally

parched grass to try to keep him going.

So he was bringing in alfalfa cubes to feed his bison because he wants them to get in good shape before the winter.

And as he's doing the interview with me talking about this, a helicopter with a water bucket goes overhead because there was a wildfire about three miles away from his place.

And I said to him, what do you do?

I mean, not trying to be funny.

What do you do if

This catches and comes your way.

I mean he's got 50 had a bison that move only when they want to move if you know what I mean And if they decide they're going to move let's say to get away from a fire

They're not much fence going to stop them.

And he said, yeah, he'd probably have to rely on neighbors and maybe even emergency responders

to try to keep

his buffalo from ending up on one of the major interstates.

But yeah, definitely dry out and out all across Canada, every place we went, like I said, with maybe the exception of BAMP.

And they've got water rules in place, really, really stringent water rules in place.

People are not allowed to water their grass, like only every other day.

And so, like I said, for a lot of people that pride themselves on their gardens and their flower pots, et cetera, they were really...

really languishing with all the heat and the dry weather.

Well, we should get some of our Democratic politicians up there because as we all know, the Democrats can control the weather.

So just throwing it out there.

So what about the state fair?

The state fair was called off.

Yeah, the last day because of all the flooding.

Unbelievable.

That was a skunk.

I was over there.

So I came right from the airport.

from the Canada adventure right onto State Fair Park because we had the governor or we had the blue ribbon live or blue ribbon dairy.

Let's start again, Yankee.

We had the Blue Ribbon Meat Products auction on Tuesday night of State Fair, and then Wednesday night I was part of the Governor's Blue Ribbon Livestock auction.

I just reached out to a bunch of my buddies that were there yesterday afternoon, and they dispersed.

They got cattle off the grounds.

Now the barns where the animals are on the high part of State Fair Park, so the ground is a little bit higher up towards the youth dormitory and things like that, but they just got the

They got the heck out of there.

It was such a mess.

You know, state fair officials canceled the concert Saturday night.

So you knew that things weren't going to improve.

And basically everybody started packing up and leaving grounds Saturday night when they decided Leonard Skinnerd was not going to perform.

And then the rest of them took off on Sunday morning when they got all their trailers and

and cattle pulled together.

But everybody's safe, everybody all right.

But you know, that's a day of revenue that the State Fair Park is going to be missing when it comes to operating expenses and looking at things for 2026.

Well,

let's talk about the fresh farm produce rolling out in the stands all through the countryside.

You see them everywhere popping

up.

Yep.

Yep.

Now you are.

It's like all of a sudden explosion.

The paper bag of tomatoes will be showing up on your doorstep soon.

You know, and

The sweet corn, sweet corn is a plenty right now.

Larry Olsum from Olsum Foods in Friesland says they're rolling on the red and white potatoes out by arena.

So look for those at the grocery store.

Just start stocked up, folks, because you know how it goes, fellas.

Once this stream begins, it doesn't shut off for quite a little while

until

everybody is

done.

Yeah, that's great.

I love it.

We don't have time for Bill Gates' butter.

But we'll do

that maybe Friday.

Yeah.

I'll

do my research.

Okay.

Yeah.

Do some research on that

one.

I'll come with a rebuttal to Bill Gates.

How about that?

Yes, please do.

We need some defense here.

All right.

Bill Gates is making water right now.

Okay.

Have a good Monday,

boys.

All right, Pam.

Thank you so much.

That's Pam Yankee, fabulous farm babe.

Back in the States now.

Why haven't some

fun up there in Canada?

Wow.

Yeah, great the trip.

Hey, coming up in our next half hour, we're going to tell you how you can win VIP passes to our listener appreciation party.

Yeah, we're having a big party.

That's right.

And you're invited.

And we're

going to also get into a

couple of idiocracy stories.

OK, it's all coming up on John and Gordy in the morning right here on WMDX downtown Madison right off.

State Street.

Stay with us.

As the 21st century began, human evolution was at a turning point.

Intelligence continued to decline until humanity was incapable of solving even its most basic problems.

The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma.

No!

You dense, irritating miniature beast of burden!

Idiocracy!

For the smartest guy in the world, you're pretty dumb sometimes.

Well...

Yes, most of the time, indeed.

Indeed.

This is John and Gordy on WMDX

635.

It's cloudy this morning.

We'll see sunshine later.

Highs in the low to mid 80s.

This portion of the show brought to you by Virlo.

They're having a back-to-school sale right now.

They have twin-size sets starting at $3.99, full-size sets starting at $4.99.

You can upgrade the mattress to double the warranty for only $200 more.

Swap out your traditional box spring for a modern platform foundation.

It's all part of the back to school sale going on all this month at Verlo with two locations, east side and west side.

Go to Verlo.com for more information.

Yeah, when I was younger, it had a platform

situation.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It was really.

How was that?

It was good.

Yeah.

It was good.

Very solid.

You didn't need a box spring for it.

So.

That's nice.

Yeah.

Okay.

Cut down the amount of

moving stuff.

Still, the platform is a little heavy.

Yes.

Right.

Yeah.

I want to remind everybody coming up in about 10 minutes or so, we're going to kick off our listener appreciation party giveaway.

We've got VIP tickets.

This is coming up on September 6th at Downdern's Distilling in Cottage Grove.

Going to have a big appreciation party for all our listeners out there.

It coincides, John, with the week of our 500th episode.

Just so happens.

Wow.

John and Gordy show, yeah.

500 episodes.

Can you believe we're closing in on 500 episodes?

No, I really can't.

I think you're making that

up.

No, I'm not making it up.

No, it's true.

We counted.

As long as you're paying for the party.

Anyway, that'll happen shortly after 6.45.

We'll give our listeners their first chance to win VIP passes.

All right, I just want to catch up on a few texts here.

We're talking about the...

Smoke coming out of the greats

in Madison.

In Madison, yeah.

Out of the manhole covers.

It was crazy.

Then

I mentioned the explosion that we experienced at Shortstack when that was around.

Yeah.

And somebody wrote that he and his wife were there when this happened.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, that was quite the day.

We were sitting just wrapping up the show and the big explosion happened, the windows rattled, the tables shook.

Yeah.

I mean, it was really something.

Thought at first maybe somebody ran into the building or something, you know, it was just a huge thing And of

course we were talking about you know the sewage backup in Milwaukee because of the rains and flooding there and how right wing radio would much rather have it in people's basements than shooting out into Lake Michigan.

I guess there's really no good choice there, but Anyway, you can blame right wing radio for at the smelly house and the destruction

Mark wrote, what the hell?

It didn't know.

It was wrong.

The first dissentence didn't really come out on this.

But he did say Wisconsin Republicans are blaming the Canadians, that the fires are still burning there.

They don't get just how big that area is, and it's a wilderness, and it's tough to really get out there and fight the fire right.

And then he said, they also have fires that are partially underground.

Pete fires essentially yeah, so thanks.

Thanks for that information in depth information about the fires in Canada Yeah, and oh by the way we were and we had the question about what would you much rather what live in yep live would rather live in Jetsons or Looney Tunes world Looney Tunes world and Mark also wrote with Trump.

We already live in the Looney Tunes world Yes

And Catherine Catherine you're on fire man Catherine Texas our skies are being choked Midwest lawmakers file a joint complaint over Canadian wildfire smoke

Yeah, why why do they keep burning their fire force up there?

I mean shouldn't

you

know shouldn't they just Take a break.

Yeah.

Yeah,

it's yeah, like they have

control over that

I know it's crazy stuff.

You can call us, phone lines are open, 608-879-8255.

What do we have for idiocracy today?

I'm just gonna play off of what we're seeing up

here

on the CNN screen.

This is crazy stuff, right?

Trump wants to take over DC.

He wants to take it over, even though all the crime rates are down, all of them in all

the categories,

all down, right?

He wants to take it over now, because there is a carjacking.

Now

this is what happens

when you have

somebody micromanaging something, right?

He's got his hands and everything.

He's got China computer chips.

He's all over the place.

And he can't do anything right in Russia.

Yeah, the threats.

So now he is going to take over.

Washington DC and you know, I think the Republicans really want to do this They want to make sure that Washington DC doesn't become a state and they actually have representation in some way shape or form This is the way to keep

those votes out, because if Washington DC became a state that would be a number of votes

for the Democrats.

Well, that's right.

And Trump also declared that the homeless should just move out of DC immediately.

Just get out, get out, move out.

You know, I'm sure that they had plans to move out eventually.

But you know, I thought, what a stupid thing to say, like they have a choice.

Like they have the transportation to go.

Right.

Why didn't just get out what what a loser my god, okay?

Hey, well anyway Calling them names now, but you know get the idea.

It's not a smart

man.

It's not happening up there It's always something every day it distract us from the Epstein files, which will not go away.

That's

right That's right, and we won't let it go away although we have kind of stopped talking about it because I got tired of it

And you have a short attention span.

So look

out.

So look out.

That's why we move from subject to subject so quickly.

OK.

What are we going to move to now?

Well, what we're going to go to this time is

Kamala Harris.

All right, let's go to Kamala Harris.

This is cut 10 and she made predictions just as Hillary Clinton made predictions when she was running for president.

Sure.

And everything is coming true again.

Well, it's not really hard to predict what Trump is going to do next.

Chaos.

So why don't we listen to this little interview and listen or take some credit.

Okay.

All performances I've ever seen, you smoked them like a ham.

I just want to remind everybody, you warned everyone about the future under our present president.

You said he would prosecute his political enemies.

He would cut Medicaid and Medicare.

He would ignore court orders.

He would alienate our allies.

He would give massive tax cuts to the rich.

And I know you're not here to say, I told you so.

But would you like to?

But let me let me just say this You are correct that I did predict a lot of it But Steven what I did not predict was the capitulation I Didn't predict that

I didn't roll over for this present.

I didn't I didn't see that

I didn't see that coming.

And perhaps it's naive of me, someone who has seen a lot that most people haven't seen.

But I believed that on some level, there should be many who consider themselves to be guardians of our system and our democracy, who just capitulated.

I didn't see that coming.

Yeah.

And no one did.

So it was amazing the way Congress folded just like that.

Yeah.

And we could kind of see it with the Supreme Court.

Yeah.

Knew that was probably in the mix, but not as much as they've been just caving on everything.

And following a story that I think we'll have on tomorrow, but it has a lot to do with the restructuring of government itself.

And I think I believe that a lot of the department heads, which we know are complete idiots.

These people aren't qualified for any of these jobs at all.

But now I believe he is going to designate them as having the ability to cut funding or accept funding for their departments.

So if Congress

says,

hey, we're going to fund this, this, and this in these certain areas like the EPA or Food and Drug Administration, the department's heads, the heads can say, no, we're not going to, we're not going to take any of that money.

We don't need it.

We're not going to do that.

We're going to get rid of that department.

Actually, you know, they can do anything they want at this point.

These unqualified individuals that Trump put in place.

Yeah.

Big story.

And I got to put that together.

Maybe, maybe that was it.

Maybe

I just

described

it

all right there.

I tipped your hand a little

bit.

I thought I didn't read a lot of the information.

Maybe I did.

And I just spewed the whole story right here.

Damn.

All right.

Well, I don't know what we're going to talk about tomorrow.

And

then we have what?

Oh, no.

Oh, it is that time.

It is 645.

And time now for us to tell you about our listener appreciation party.

Do we have any music there, Tom?

As I describe, what's going to happen here?

WMDX is hosting the ultimate listener appreciation party for you, our dear listeners.

And you are invited.

We're gathering everybody together.
