Finally we welcome OnMilwaukee Entertainment Writer Matt Mueller to the show to talk about the new A Quiet Place film, as well as the juggernaut that is Inside Out 2 and we wrap up the show with a preview of what Matt's going to see at Summerfest this weekend and what it says about you when you complain about the lineup.

  • It's Tuesday and what better way to start it out than with a deep dive into Project 2025.

For a good break down of the plan, we have John Oliver taking 30 minutes to explore the topic. We are then joined by Maggie Daun, who lends her legal and economic expertise to the the discussion.
