You've just tuned into a segment of The John and Gordy Show where the guys tackle everything from the weird world of commerce to infuriating national policy!

First up, they get a laugh out of the business news that Kimberly-Clark is buying Tylenol, which leads to a rant about how this massive corporation already owns everything from Kleenex to Huggies. Then, they dive into the absurd world of cashless commerce thanks to the Trump administration eliminating the penny. John and Gordy ridicule McDonald's new policy of rounding up or down, and John goes on a passionate tear about how he never uses cash, while Gordy admits he only carries one quarter—for his Aldi cart! This segues into a discussion about how a shift to a completely cashless society unfairly impacts people who rely on cash or food assistance.
