John and Gordy dive into a lively discussion about PragerU's controversial educational content stepping in as PBS funding cuts loom. They highlight PragerU's revisionist takes on history, including a bizarre clip justifying slavery. The show also touches on AI's potential maternal instincts to prevent a robotic uprising, as suggested by AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton. Amid the banter, they cover rising meat prices due to tariffs and the Brewers’ winning streak. With guests like Dr. Tim Sleckar and caller Mark, they explore the cultural implications of these shifts, while injecting humor and skepticism throughout their morning banter.
