Painting Your Plants
In hour two, we're talking economics, with words from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick - both of whom have no idea how the economy works for the average Joe. We check in with Brittney Merlot for a look at this week's weather, and at the bottom of the hour, listen to Bernie Sanders, and his recent rally in Kenosha, where he asserts that rural America doesn't want Trump, it wants prosperity. Later, we welcome in Amy Horak, a horticulturalist at David J Frank, for some chatter about plants and lawn and landscape care this spring.

Plants!
In hour two, the guys dive into the planned "government buyout" by Trump of employees in the "unelected bureaucracy," which he really plans to replace with political loyalists (!) We check in with Brittney Merlot for a check of the weather, and later, welcome in Amy Horak for the inaugural edition of the David J. Frank Horticultural Report! Though its wintertime, there's plenty to chat about in the realm of plants, including winter pruning, preserving plants during the unusual midwinter freeze/thaw cycles, and more. Closing out the show, we touch on a few texts bringing up the fact that Elon Musk is slowly but surely worming his way into the treasury department.
