The John and Gordy Show

In hour two we dive into the Big Story: one of Musk's million-dollar winners has broken the law, saying that Elon paid her to vote. We also hear the newest election conspiracy, from "DJ Johnny Massacre," that Crawford didn't win the election, since the Voter ID amendment passed. Apparently its impossible to split the ticket? We check in with Brittney Merlot, our WMDX meteorologist, for a look outs...

According to Trump, yesterday was "Liberation Day," but today is more like it as the guys talk the impending stock market tumble. As a distraction, they chat with their producer Sam about his vintage VW Bug, then check the National Day Calendar. Sam tells us all about Today in History, and later we welcome in Dr. Tim Slekar of BustED Pencils. The guys chat about Randi Weingarten, President of AFT,...

In hour two, the guys chat more about Susan Crawford's big win last night, talking with callers about their renewed sense of hope for Wisconsin. We also talk Cory Booker once again, who yesterday broke the record for longest Senate speech, in which he called on America to look in the mirror, and decide between right and wrong, rather than right and left. After the break, we welcome in Mike McCabe...

Crawford wins! John can't contain his excitement, but Gordy puts a sock in him in order to cover the National Day Calendar. Amidst some more chatter about the election, we cover Today in History with Sam, then enter Idiocracy. We first take a detour to talk with a longtime listener, but new caller, about his renewed hope in the wake of yesterday's election, then transition into discussion about Co...

The first half of hour two, Sensitive Johnny turns into Angry Johnny while talking about Elon Musk - his visit to Green Bay, complete lack of knowledge about Social Security, and his blatant buying of politicians, including Brad Schimel. We chat with a caller about the importance of voting on this election day, and later, find out from our old friend Pizza Box Mike that folks on disability haven't...

We kick off today's show with the guys remarking on their producer Sam's new haircut - which he did himself. They take a look at the National Day Calendar while John promotes smoking cigarettes on "Stamp Out Tobacco Day," and continue their conversation about haircuts with a caller, who also cuts his hair at home with a Flowbee. In Idiocracy we first get a bit of Today in History from Sam, and als...

In hour two, we dive into the Big Story of the Day - "The Scam" perpetrated against this country by Elon Musk. That being, his illegal and forced takeover of the government by shifting existing government contracts to companies he owns. We also listen to some clips of Representative Melenie Stansbury, breaking down and attacking a bill that would essentially give the Executive (Trump) the power to...

John and Gordy start out by kicking around some name ideas for the new studio desk, then jump into the National Day Calendar. We miss chatting with Pam Jahnke today, and instead chat about My Three Sons and an episode burned into John's head, "Pass the Bunsen Burner." Later we enter Idiocracy, talking this time around about Trump's latest authoritarian remark - that he'll run for a third term. All...

Rökker tells the story of spotting the giant WMDX logo on a mattress by James Madison Park with John, Gordy and Sam. Who dunnit? Gorilla marketing at it's best! Guests: Rökker , John & Gordy Show , Gordy Young , John Peterson , Sam Davisson

In hour two, the guys chat with our WMDX News Chief Savanna Tomei-Olson about some of the big stories in the Madison area this week. Back in the guy's corner, they dive into their Big Story of the day - textbook brainwashing by the administration, that the Signal text message debacle didn't even happen . Brittney Merlot joins us for a check of the weather this weekend (hint: it gonna rain), and we...

Its Friday! John and Gordy remark about the storm rolling through and the unusually warm day ahead, before jumping into the National Day Calendar, chatting in their old age about Triglyceride Day. We welcome on Pam Jahnke of the Midwest Farm Report to chat about the success this week of Ag day at the capitol, and ARIP, the Agricultural Road Improvement Program. Later we dive into Idiocracy with a...

The first half of hour two is all about the hearings related to the war plan text message debacle. Like Trump, the members of that group chat have adopted 3 rules: attack, attack, attack; admit nothing, deny everything; and no matter what happens, claim victory, and never admit defeat. Taking a break for a look at the weather, we chat with Brittney Merlot, or WMDX meteorologist, before returning t...

This Thursday morning, we kick off with John's rationale for having a (smart) flip phone, and for watching TV while you drive. Gordy manages to pull him away with the National Day Calendar, along with Sam, discussing earthquakes and Viagra for Today in History. Later, after a couple week hiatus, we welcome on Dr. Tim Slekar to talk education - and the continued dissolution of it. Specifically, the...

In hour two, we dive into the Big Story: the SAVE Act, which would require citizenship when voting (and aimed at disenfranchising married women), would not be valid in Wisconsin, at least for the upcoming election - yet its being used as a scare tactic. We check in with our WMDX meteorologist Brittney Merlot for a look at the weather, and chatter about balloons! Later, we welcome in to the new stu...

John, like a bull in a china shop, immediately can't help but dive into the newest story at the start of the show. After being sedated and put in a straightjacket, Gordy takes over with the National Day Calendar, and Sam with Today in History. Giving the reins back to John, he walks us through the Idiocracy of the day. Stories range from more on the Hegseth war plan text debacle to the real story...

In hour two, we dive into the Big Story: the news that Pete Hegseth accidentally sent intel about an upcoming military strike, via text, to the editor of the Atlantic (!). We hear from several folks about the fallout and consequences of this utter breach of security. We check in with our WMDX meteorologist Brittney Merlot for a look at the weather (and the snowman she made yesterday!) before heari...

John and Gordy begin in usual fashion, with some chatter and the coverage of the National Day Calendar you depend on. We check in with Sam for Today in history, and give a preview of the Big Story to come in hour two: war plans, accidentally sent via text to a journalist. Later, we dive into Idiocracy, listening to a (probably fake, but not wrong) clip of JD Vance criticizing Elon Musk, and talk t...

In hour two, we get to a promised clip from last hour, from the hearing for an anti-trans bill, where a former proponent of the bill changed his mind, apologizing to the LGBTQ community. Shifting gears to Tesla talk (pun intended) we hear from Ross Gerber, a top investor of the company, now calling for the ousting of Musk as CEO. Brittney Merlot, our WMDX meteorologist, joins us for a check of the...

John and Gordy, live in their new studio, react with chaos to the gigantic desk in their tiny room. They retreat to cyberspace, taking a look at the internet's National Day Calendar, then chat with Pam Jahnke from the Midwest Farm Report, discussing flatlining milk production across the country. Later, we dive into Idiocracy, talking more pushback Republicans are receiving at town halls, and also...

Hour two begins as Savanna Tomei-Olson, our WMDX News Bureau Chief, joins to talk about the Big Stories of the day, including a city council member being priced out of living in her own district, and some area museums facing federal cuts from the Trump administration. After Savanna's departure, John dives into a story out of Ohio, where the legislature just passed a bill mandating schools "teach f...

The guys are live once again at Gordy's home studio as the one at WMDX is rebuilt. After John expounds his exhaustion, caused by his Kraken (an energetic dog), we dive into the National Day Calendar. Pam Jahnke, the Fabulous Farm Babe from the Midwest Farm Report, joins the show as she does every Monday and Friday to chat about the virtues of chocolate milk, a new study analyzing the "ruralness" o...

Hour two begins with some usual banter as the guys do the show remotely from Gordy's house today. The pair talk tariffs, and dive into a story from a non-American, Simon Marks, giving his take on the current state of American "democracy," or the lack thereof. We check in with our WMDX Meteorologist Brittney Merlot for a look at the weather, and also talk with a caller, explaining Canada's next mov...

John and Gordy are remote at a secret studio today (Gordy's house) as the main studio at WMDX is getting rebuilt! They walk through the National Day Calendar, and check in with Sam, on this beautiful day in the neighborhood, for Today in History. In today's dose of Idiocracy, the guys cover the news of an actress, detained at the boarder for being Canadian (!). They also chat about veterans being...

In hour two, the guys chat Arlington National Cemetary, who is scrubbing Black and Women's history from the web and cemetery monuments, and also talk how the administration simply has a BAD view of the future - no view of how to make things better - only to revert, to the structure and culture of the 19th century. We talk with Brittney Merlot, taking a look at the (rainy!) weather to come today, a...

Gordy, now ill with John's sickness from last week, begrudgingly leads us through the National Day Calendar to start out the show before handing things off to Sam for Today in History. In Idiocracy today, we cover the Autopen controversy - and get to the bottom of whether or not Biden (and Trump!) actually signed the pardons they claimed they did. We also take a look at the Trump Golf Tracker, and...
