Weekly Best of John and Gordy Show for Jul 5
To begin The Best of John and Gordy Show, the guys speak about the Morgan Wallen concert and how it was so massive this past weekend. All the roads were blocked all throughout Madison. Gordy mentions how he went to Stable Rock Winery over the weekend that had perfect the greatest potato salad he's ever had.
We then get into the wonderful interview with Brian Belefant, author of The Sultan of Garbage! Brian explaining his reasoning behind writing a book about the garbage island and the importance of not downplaying the recycling situation in the U.S. He even talks about visiting the island and why there is so much trash in our oceans!
After that interview, they talk with Mike McCabe, political reform activist in Wisconsin who worked for 15 years as executive director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, and asked about his amazing trip in Tanzania! From the funny stories about Warthog River to the intense moments dealing with food uncertainty, you are not going to want to miss out on this conversation.
To finish out The Best of John and Gordy podcast, we introduce Serenity Pet Spa's owner, Lis Johnston! Lis gave the guys insights on how to keep your pet safe for Independence Day! She also gave us a look at her new store that is opening very soon!

With talks about new citizenship databases and medication booths on the freeway, it truly was a packed show!

Day-O
John, Gordy, and their producer Sam begin with banter about the latest random song to pop into John's head, as the sun rises faster and faster. Amidst talk of today's fake holidays on the National Day Calendar, we hear about Sam's latest project - the holy grail of vintage radios. We find out more wild, wacky topics like the radioactivity of bananas and LSD during Today in History, before we finally get serious, covering Idiocracy. We take aim at Mike Johnson, soft spoken and kind appearing, despite his push for the impending Republican tax cut - the biggest boost the the debt in national history (!). Wrapping up the first hour, we welcome in Lis Johnston, owner of Serenity Pet Spa, and world-class dog groomer. She chats about her unique approach to grooming dogs, and why she and her team are able to provide a real 'spa' experience for pets.
