Guest: Paul Soglin

In hour two, John and Gordy have a nice fall campfire - a Dumpster Fire Friday, if you will. We talk Gordy's affinity for pumpkin pie, Trump and one of his favorite words (garbage), and Michele Morrow, former candidate for North Carolina Superintendent of Public Instruction, who called for the execution of Obama by firing squad (!). The discussion turns to a podcast John's been listening to, about the 50-year plot to legalize corruption in the country, and at the bottom of the hour we take a break from politics to listen, in its entirety, to the newly-mixed John and Gordy theme. Later, we hear the dulcet tones of former Madison Mayor Paul Soglin, who the guys talked with last week all about the history of lake Mendota's shoreline, and the new project to redevelop John Nolen Drive.
