In a whirlwind of banter, John and Gordy tackle the upcoming Labor Day weekend, local weather, and a peculiar Badger game. They dive into the absurdity of Ryan Walters' America First tests for teachers in Oklahoma and the dubious educational content from PragerU. Tim Slecker from Busted Pencils joins to illuminate the perils of right-wing indoctrination masquerading as educational reform. The show also teases a promising interview with Rep. Angelina Cruz, a champion for public education and democracy. Amidst the chaos, there's talk of LED lights, spooky childhood dreams, and the potential wonders—or horrors—of knowing all space or ocean secrets.
