In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys welcome newcomers Stelio Kontos—a pseudonym for legal reasons—and the sharp-witted @jsonlinemkebs, the parody "Journal Sentinel Opinions" Twitter account that earned a shoutout in a New York Times piece during the heated 2023 Janet Protasiewicz Supreme Court race for its satirical takedowns of liberal judicial activism. The group dives into the gubernatorial rollercoaster: Bill Berrien's abrupt exit from the GOP primary, less than three months after launching, amid a scandal over his online follows of sexually explicit accounts (including nonbinary porn performer Jiz Lee) and reports of him cursing out a key young Republican operative. Hot on its heels, U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany officially announced his run, vowing to freeze property taxes, block Chinese farmland buys, and restore "Wisconsin values," positioning himself as the Trump-aligned frontrunner in a now slimmer GOP field alongside Josh Schoemann. Balancing the ledger, former Lancaster Mayor David Varnum launched his bid for lieutenant governor, the race's first GOP contender, touting low taxes, pro-life stances, and Second Amendment rights. The group ribs State Rep. Francesca Hong's campaign stop near Lambeau Field, where she rolled out her "Tailgate-flation" plan to slash brat and burger prices via small-business loans—accompanied by her Discord-moderator-style squad of progressive volunteers. Recommendation of the week? The Culver's CurderBurger is back.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
