Good afternoon, everybody.
I'm Todd Albaugh, along with our engineer and producer, Mr. Aaron Zommers on the board.
It is six minutes past the hour of three o'clock on this Friday, June 27th, 2025.
It is a great day to be Wisconsinite.
Glad to be with you.
Hour number two of the big program here at the World Headquarters, Downtown Madison, State Street.
Want to take a little look at the Sam Davison Street Camp?
Or is
it's I moved it over there.
Let's say it's a Partly cloudy skies right now some sun coming in and downtown Madison people are out the follows a little it needs to be washed off somehow the lens got a little a Little blurry there sorry about that.
Oh, no, it's clearing up.
It's clearing up slowly, but surely like oh they have the
The street blocked off something happening on must be something going on in State Street today.
They have the upper part of State Street block a barricade.
Yeah, I wonder what it is they have a Farmers market in the morning.
They do that for that.
Oh, that's right Morgan wallet,
this
Things are going to down things there is people are enjoying themselves in downtown Madison.
Hopefully you're enjoying yourself
Maybe a few showers, isolated thunderstorms across parts of Wisconsin today.
Brett Imralo will keep us updated on that.
But overall, fairly nice weekend, I think, for most of Wisconsin.
Maybe some storms rolling through, I think, Saturday night into Sunday as well.
Some of those could be a little heavy, but seasonal.
Seasonal summer weather.
Osomers, you were off yesterday and you're going to have a big, big vacation.
That's fantastic.
We support that.
But it kind of fell through.
Banks is her name with my sister who really loves her.
And so the other day, she posts on her Instagram story that, all right, guys, we're going to have to reschedule the concert because something big came up.
You'll understand.
And then takes that off of the story.
And so we're like, so is it canceled or not?
And a bunch of people contact customer service and they're like, everything on our end says it's still going through.
And then Wednesday night.
We do get the official email.
Nope.
Turns out she is rescheduling the concert because she got an offer to open up for Lana Del Rey in the UK, which would make it pretty difficult to also play a concert in Chicago at the same
time.
Let me get this straight.
She ditched you and all your friends to go play in the UK.
Yeah.
That's terrible.
I mean, I truly feel like here you took the day off and everything, but I guess at least you had a day off.
right.
Well,
But glad to have you back.
Thank you, everybody.
Thanks to everyone.
Parker Olson for being here yesterday.
Thank you, Parker.
He did a great job.
Always great to have Zomers back on the board.
Coming up at the bottom of this hour, we are going to check in with our old friend, Peter Rapine, who has been on vacation himself to Europe for a couple of weeks.
We'll ask him how that went.
But more importantly, as the managing editor of Epom's World, he brings us bi-weekly the news of the world of the wild, wacky,
real behavior of humans and how crazy it can be.
So headlines of the week in review with Peter Rapine at the bottom of the hour.
Our very own news director, Shelley Pittman, who is all over this breaking news this afternoon in the state capital at last word, when it comes to the joint finance committee, the budget process, they were supposed to meet yesterday that got
pushed back to today at 10 a.m.
Which got pushed back to 2 a.m.
And now Shaly reports that it's now 4 p.m.
It's when they're going to meet tonight or this afternoon we'll see if that holds.
Our very own Dan Schaefer of the Reconbobulation Area and Civic Media's political editor reporting at the top of this show that his sources are telling him, Dan Schaefer, that Republicans now have reached out to Democratic Senate leader Diane Hesselebein
and have invited senator Hesselbein into negotiations on the state budget because they feel that it's going to take at least some democratic votes in order to pass a budget.
Both state senator Kappenga and Noss Republicans have publicly said there are no right now.
And so it could mean that Democrats have to be brought in, which I think is a good thing to have a bipartisan vote or a bipartisan budget.
But this is complicated things.
because the Republicans, at least in the Senate, cannot whip their caucus, and that's what it's called in politics, whipping the votes, getting people in line politically, not physically.
But wouldn't that be something?
Anyway, they're trying to whip the votes politically.
They can't get there, so they've invited in Democrats, according to Dan Shaffer's reporting.
So that might be part of what's slowing this down.
Shali Pittman is all over this, and will bring us the headlines as they become available.
Also,
She is listening in right now, and this is how great Shelly Pittman is.
She knows everything about Madison.
She knows why the blockade is up in the 100 block of State Street is because it's the mad lit event series.
And tonight it's Latin night.
How did I not know about this?
It is the Latin night tonight in downtown Madison.
It'll be a good time had by all.
So that'll be fun.
I know I know what I'm doing after work.
The truck's already parked.
I'm just gonna go outside and have a Latin night.
we're going out
Have fun with that.
I know the oldest, my favorite oldest, God, so I have a favorite oldest, favorite youngest, the favorite oldest, Alex, and his girlfriend, Keegan, are in town.
Mike, I think we're gonna hang out a little bit.
We talked about doing a kayaking camping trip on the river a little too steamy.
a little too
steamy and hot.
So the secondary option is having a beverage on the deck.
Which is fine.
Nothing wrong with that.
Nothing.
Nothing wrong with that.
So and then on Monday, this will be a lot of fun on Monday, a pack quite low and Trigby Olson taking the reins for the first hour of the show.
We have planned to have states that are Keldor Royce on updating this on the state budget process.
Todd is going to be at my 80th stepmother's, not my 80th.
Would that be something?
Yes.
My
had 80 wives.
Honestly,
Utah.
Oh, there's a joke there somewhere.
Anyway, my stepmother is turning 80 on Monday.
There's a little happening Monday afternoon.
So I'm going to go to Sean and dip in on that and then dip out and go to Green Bay.
I'll be bringing you the second half of the show from the Green Bay Studios, although I have not.
Talk to Todd Michaels about that.
Well, he's been on vacation.
He's been on vacation.
I think it'll be fun, because we're going to do it in the conference room.
Right, right.
We're going to do it a little.
It shouldn't be an issue.
I could do it from the shower.
You had to fully clothed of course, but I could do there's a shower at green
horrible.
I know it would sound horrible.
Anyway, that's the show on Monday.
That'll be a lot of fun.
You got quite low.
You got Trig V states that are killed a Royce.
You got myself and then probably our folks in Wisconsin watch will stop in.
So that'll be the Monday show.
All right.
Right now is 13 minutes past the hour of three o'clock time for what's worse.
Let's go.
Time once again for what's worse.
No prize money involved, nothing to give away, but it is your chance to have your voice heard across statewide radio.
All 11 stations, second largest radio network, only behind Wisconsin Public Radio.
But boy, the way things are, we might end up being the first, I'm not the biggest.
Certainly heading that direction.
That's sad.
Sad, bad, not glad.
Feel bad for our colleagues and media.
at Wisconsin Public Radio making a lot of cuts here this last week.
But as they say, that's another bottle of wine.
Right now at the top of our list is what's worse category today.
And I guess this is timely because during the summer, lots of projects, maybe tree trimming, lawn mowing, spraying.
replacing
hardwood.
And you think to yourself, well, I don't want to buy that piece of equipment.

Dave in New Berlin says, owning is worse because if it breaks down, it's somebody else's problem.
All right, very good.
What else here?
Robert in McFarlane listening on WI-
or MDX rather, pardon me.
Robert says, so I rented a house once for three years, and I really enjoyed living there, and now I've owned a house for almost three years, and I really enjoy living here.
So I don't have a strong opinion today on either way.
All right, very good.
I've both owned a home, rented.
I think for me, the biggest thing when you own, you're building equity of some sort.
And I always feel when I rent like I am right now,
that essentially it's a glorified hotel room.
You're not wrong.
I mean, once my money is it's just it's just gone there.
So also in the middle of our free Friday ticket giveaway up for grabs right now until four o'clock.
We've got four tickets, club level seat tickets.
These are the really nice ones in the the seats are right below the Skybox Suites.
So you're not quite in the suite.
But the next best thing right below that is the club level.
They're padded seats in the third base side.
You can see right down into the Brewer's dugout.

contest.
Thank you, it's a statewide contest.
Len in Madison says, what's worse, renting or owning, so many variables to consider.
Cost difference, frequency of use, convenience, storage, maintenance, complexity, and there's always the pride of ownership.
Yeah.
All those are great points.
Totally.
You do get some pride, right?
Owning something.
Here's one for the attorneys.
Dave in New Berlin says, how many times can I enter to win?
Once in hours, isn't
Once per
Alright.
So very good to listen to Maggie show up for ours.
I think they're going to have a word today as well.

So once per show, the word is play, P L A Y, P L A Y. Text us the word play and you are eligible to win those Brewer tickets for Sunday.
Tom in New Berlin listening to WAUK says, renting certain tools when I buy, I treat it like it's rented.
All right, there you go.
I've known people who are very meticulous about their tools and they last forever.
I mean, I, I worked for a guy at a lawns escaping company one time and every time he'd use like a shovel or anything to plant a tree, he would scrape it down and then wash it and then dry it and hang it back up.
And as tools look, you know, virtually new for years, you know, he'd had it for 40 years.
It looked like it was almost
Yeah,
Sean and Richland Center, listening on the Great Station, WRCE back home says, if it snowmobiles, owning is way worse.
Buying a new snowmobile two years ago hasn't snowed since.
Sean, I feel like that's so true.
I know other people have said that.
Yeah.
It's, it's.
Snowmobiles are a bit like owning a boat Kenny Chesney on his no shoes radio on Sirius XM Always says he's a big boat guy Caribbean guy.
He the old adages The two best days when you own a boat are the day you buy it the day is selling
never buy a boat.
You want a friend with a boat?
You never want to buy the boat, right exactly exactly
8-5-5, 7-5-2, 4-8-4-2, 8-5-5, 7-5-2, 4-8-4-2.
If you want to weigh in, what's worse, renting or owning zammers?
Like, I would never want to rent an instrument, like a musical instrument.
I don't want to rent someone else's trombone.
I want to own a trombone or a drum set or whatever.
But also...
For and as far as a house sure it'd be cool to own a house someday, but right now renting works better So I mean I guess I'm glad they both exist, but I think renting it is easier to get screwed over because either the thing doesn't work or You're
paying too much money for
answer
It's a long ways to go in a short time to get there I'll agree renting is worse.
That is that is my opinion.
I'd rather own
If I had a choice, but there are maybe occasions when renting is okay, but overall renting is worse Alright, thanks for playing that keep texting in the word play PLAY for your chance to win those free Brewer tickets text them on the Civic Media app PLAY text them right now to win tickets for Sunday back with Peter Rapine We can review from Epom's world after this they would welcome back to the town all balls show on the Civic Media radio number 35 now past the hour of three o'clock That's right on a TG.
I am guess who's back
Back in the US.
Back again.
You know him.
You love him.
He's the managing editor of ebombsworld.com.
He joins us live from beautiful Brooklyn, New York via StreamYard.
He's back in the US.
Our friend, our ongoing contributor, Mr. Peter Rapine.
Peter, how the heck are
glad to see you made it back because for those that don't know we have we have a larger audience I think today because our friend Dan Schaefer was a huge following was kind enough to come on our program with serious breaking news at the top of the show regarding the state budget by the way the joint finance committee scheduled now to meet at four o'clock our news team is all over that but Dan Schaefer brings along a bunch of viewing guests on the stream and otherwise so lots of people Peter
that might not know you, you come to us every week, every other week, pardon me, E-POMS World, you can find all these headlines at E-POMS World, E-B-A-U-M-S-W-O-R-L-D.
Now, Peter, we don't like to go too far in your private life, but you've been very open.
You went on this big European vacation a couple of weeks ago.
You went to Zurich, and obviously, Customs and Border Patrol said you were worthy to come back home, and we're very happy about that.
not look your first
before for those again for first time viewers.
These are not fictional.
These are not made up things.
These are actual stories of actual real, idiotic, stupid human behavior that you all at E-Bombs World curate and bring to us every other week as real headlines.
All right.
First.
I'm really glad that you
Norwegian tourists allegedly denied entry into the U.S.
over a JD Vance Photoshop.
So if you don't remember a couple months ago, people were photoshopping JVans into all sorts of memes.
They were turning them into a baby.
They were giving them a long hair.
They were making his cheeks nice, big and rosy.
And I should say before we get into this that the Department of Homeland Security came out and said that he wasn't denied entry into the country for the Photoshop specifically, but because he admitted to some drug use, which seems like not the type of reason you would stop someone.
coming to the country that wants to go on vacation.
I mean, if that was
the case, Elon Musk wouldn't be able to come into the country anymore, but that's another story.
I'm
him
This is actually the Irish Parliament talking about this very issue.
All right, here we go.
Unthinkable in a Western democracy.
This week, a young Norwegian tourist detained by ICE at New York Airport and sent back to Oslo.
Why?
He had this meme on his phone, Minister.
A meme depicting Vice President JD Vance as a baby.
I mean, extraordinary.
Extraordinary.
That a young person with this amusing meme on their phone depicting a public person, that this would be used as an excuse to detain him for five hours and then deport him back to Oslo.
So, Minister, I will...
the tarnishedest commitment to raise this serious issue with the US ambassador.
But as the line minister for issuing visas, what can you do to reassure young people here?
I
probably
My
I know.
I'm going to say, first of all, any Irish person, I could listen to them talk for hours and be entertained because I love an Irish accent.
I mean, it's one of those things, right?
Peter, where it's it's it's funny, obvious, entertaining, but yet it's not because here we have the US government telling people they can't come into America because they have a comedic meme, a photo, making fun of an elected official.
I mean, holy cow.
The video that came from, obviously our viewers couldn't, our listeners couldn't see, that that member of parliament, she was in the actual, like the chamber of parliament holding up this goofy meme as a part of actual legislative debate in Ireland.
It's bizarre.
never know
news.
Not to get too serious because I know this is usually a light hearted bit.
But did you honestly like you run E-bombs world?
Did you have any consternation?
Would you just sweat a little bit standing in the line and customs coming back into the US?
That's what I love about Peter Rapide.
I love Peter Rapide so much.
All right, that was great.
That was a great way to kick things off.
Next headline, Peter Rapide.
A
the curtains before banging, causing a huge traffic jam.
And we have audio for it, but it's not the best because you can't for one understand what they're saying.
Right.
And two, it's just basically a lot of cars honking.
But yeah, according to India today, it resulted in a giant gathering outside of this person's apartment, blocking the street.
Because you can just see this couple, the silhouette of a man and a woman together in a window, you know,
is playing the fifth in the Holiday Inn.
It was in the Holiday Inn, apparently, and they left their windows open, and they're doing the act, we'll leave it at that, right in front of their window, and it's very clear what's happening, and people are gathered around it.
It's like a live show.
If there's a cafe across the street, get her in the show.
even though you probably can't
That was magical.
That's fantastic.
That's fantastic.
Apparently they like to be
You just got back from Europe.
Is there a more of a freedom of expression over there when it comes to that sort of thing, Peter?
look on Peter's face is priceless.
Next, he says.
Next headline.
What?
Utah firefighters scolded for having a barbecue at a scene of a deadly fire.
This is not, this is not particularly entertaining, but what's going on?
So the niece of a man who sadly perished in a fire was sent a photo of a bunch of firemen parked out front of her uncle's house with a Traeger barbecue, some lawn chairs, and they were just cooking up a bunch of barats.
And she felt that this was pretty insensitive.
And so she went to her local news station and put the firefighters on blast.
And a representative for the fire department came out and said,
Well, they'd been at the fire for several hours and they needed to eat.
And my rebuttal to that is, couldn't they just have ordered doordash?
Yeah.
Or like had someone, whether it's doordash or that steam, I'm seeing the photo, I get it.
that I don't know if this is a paid fire department or volunteer fire department, but they have actual like a legit big grill right out in front
of
this house where someone died, uh, tacked not really, uh, obviously a part of this department.
No, no, not good at all.
Can we
Yeah.
No, very, I would say very tasteless on, on their part.
To your point, what are DoorDash?
It ain't that hard.
Yeah, and now you taught the only problem with Dort Ash in Utah no coffee Anyway, go ahead Peter next headline
ruined by one wrong sound soundboard hit explain
All right.
So set it up for us.
This is from a performance.
What are we listening to
All right.
Here we go.
The performance and singers are clearly losing their composure on the stage.
That was the wrong sound effect.
I'm not either.
mean, it's like a Christmas performance or something or maybe not.
I don't know.
It kind of looks like that.
It
like a...
It's
bam.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Those fart sounds.
I don't know.
Is that like a bouncy sound?
Like like a gong?
Yeah.
I don't
Clearly the wrong sound effect for the one looks to be a serious part of whatever the show.
I don't recognize the show, but.
Yeah, no, absolutely.
Yeah.
Poor, poor, poor person running the sound board and I'm sure they will not be invited back.

yes
Umpire cancels little league game after parents heckle him too much.
I don't even know what the story is, but already based on the headline alone.
I love it.
Go ahead.
Well, a small aside, when I was like 13, 14, I trained to be an umpire and I went out and I, um, not like an umpire, but like a, you know, first base man coach or whatever it was.
And I went and I did one game and it was the worst experience of my life.
because my dad was like, I can't believe you signed up to that.
To do that, parents are insane.
So I've lived this, but we have audio of it, which is going to do it more justice than I can do it.
All right, very good.
And so this is at a little league game.
This is a little league game and parents getting on and on.
Here we go.
heard you.
We're done.
We're done.
We're done.
It's over.
Good

Yeah Here's this guy.
He's in
Yeah He's probably early 20s, maybe mid 20s, but he's out there I'm playing a game
for the Little League game and these idiotic parents are getting on him so bad he gives him a warning and clearly one of them said something back maybe it was off the audio and he said that's it forfeited done and the parents still got on him what the heck is wrong with people Peter I
Well, it's because too many of these Yahoo parents, in my opinion, think they have the next Jacob Mizorowski, the big phenom right now for the Brewers.
Everybody thinks their kids could end up in a professional sport and they're going to get rich.
And guess what?
You don't.
The
basically.
So just chill out,
he handled it well.
Yeah, he did handle it.
He didn't swear.
He just laid down the law and said, that's it.
I admire him.
I really do.

Yeah.
And

tries to get out of a traffic stop by unleashing a swarm of bees.
All right,
So this is probably taking a small infraction and escalating it as far as it can go because a man in Spain who was a beekeeper and was driving around with a car full of bees got pulled over for not wearing a seatbelt and driving erratically.
And instead of complying with the officers, he got out and opened his trunk and out came, I assume, 50,000 bees.

using chat GPT during grad ceremony.
Explain, Peter Rapai.
So a student graduating recently at UCLA was put on the Jumbotron and he quickly pulled out his laptop Swiped to write a couple times to his page of chat GBT and scrolled up and down over what appears to be an essay that He is insinuating chat GBT wrote for him, which I assume helped him graduate and get his degree and the crowd Sadly goes nuts

That kid makes me so sad.
He was not that

Maybe he doesn't deserve the diploma after all.
Who does that?
Yeah, this is how I got through college.

You know who doesn't?
You know who doesn't use AI?
