Note from the Hosts: Listeners, we discovered a pesky audio glitch in this episode's file after recording—Justin's audio sounds distant. We're sincerely sorry for the rough quality; it just proves it's still the scrappy operation of two semi-involved Wisconsin guys, no fancy production team. We'll iron it out next time—thanks for bearing with us!
In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys reflect on last week's off-year elections, where Democrats racked up wins. Is this a 2026 harbinger, or do Republicans face doom in the Badger State? The hosts unpack a recent candidate forum where Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Francesca Hong quipped that legalizing weed solves everything from broadband gaps to economic woes. Turning to the legislature, a no-vote-yet online gambling bill sparks tribal monopoly beefs while major operators like DraftKings gripe about revenue shares. In response to the DPI grooming scandal, Republicans drop new bills making child sexual grooming a felony, with examples like inappropriate texts or touches, amid calls for Underly's overhaul and subpoena powers. Gov. Tony Evers' pet Milwaukee soccer stadium project? Still a dusty vacant lot in the Iron District, despite $9.3 million in state cash since 2023 for the delayed USL venue. Finally, Beloit College joins the campus crackdown, stonewalling Turning Point USA's chapter push.

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.
