Celebrating their 500th episode, John and Gordy navigate through a foggy morning discussing global listeners, Packers' win, and the surprise guest Sam Davisson, a former producer turned substitute teacher. In their style, they dive into the pitfalls of airline passenger protections under the Trump administration, the socio-democratic successes of Sweden, and Wisconsin's school funding challenges. Nostalgia hits with a nod to The Monkees' TV debut. With a mix of laughs and serious debate, they critique the contradictions in Republican education policies, while urging listeners to enter for a Sugar River Pizza gift card.
