Steak Sauce at Harvard

April 17, 2025

Guest: Tim Slekar

We begin the show today talking lawns, as John tells of his perpetually dying grass - and the plan to fix it (hint, he decided not to steal his neighbor's lawn). We check out the National Day Calendar while ridiculing High Five Day, before jumping into Today in History with our producer Sam. Later, we welcome on Dr. Tim Slekar for his weekly appearance, to discuss the best steak sauce, A1. Or, that's what Education Secretary Linda McMahon thinks - who has confused the condiment with AI (artificial intelligence). We also chat about Harvard, who, despite losing billions in federal grant funding, is finally standing up to Trump. Despite this, Tim is worried that institutions that don't have the clout of Harvard won't be able to do the same thing.
