Official visit season is officially HERE — and Wisconsin's first massive OV weekend could shape the future of the 2027 class. On today's show, we break down every major storyline surrounding Luke Fickell's huge recruiting weekend in Madison. We are joined by good friend Nick Osen from 247 Sports!We dive into the top uncommitted visitors expected on campus, including Mekhi Williams, Royalton Allen, Jai Jones, Tavares Powell, Darin Graham, and linebacker Nathan Jones — one of the most intriguing names on the board right now.

The FINAL definition of vamp on the Merriam-Webster site says "Improvise, extemporize." That's the one we're using here. Not "a woman who uses her charm or wiles to seduce and exploit men," which is the FIRST definition. What the actual hell? On this Dorks Just Chatting, Chewie talks all about his newly-purple beard and his mom's stay in the hospital. Dirk has no idea when things happened and tells us all about a massive school program that eventually just...stopped. We discuss extracurricular activities in school (or our lack thereof). We reminisce about weird problems we had with old guests (or people who didn't become guests) in our ridiculously long history. We wonder at the UK officially preserving Badger Badger Badger, which leads naturally into...Nintendo Power and its comics. Naturally. Eventually this gets us to new editions of books that change words and titles, and that's where Chewie learned about the original title of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. That's not even the end, I just got sick of typing!

Wisconsin's 2027 defensive recruiting board is starting to come into focus — and the message is clear: SPEED. LENGTH. VERSATILITYOn today's episode of The Bucky Report, we break down the Badgers' top defensive targets in the 2027 class, including Nathan Jones, Mekhi Williams, Darin Graham, Darryl Flemister, Evan Via, Royalton Allen, Yahzeen Zion, and more. We dive into the loaded official visit weekends coming to Madison and discuss what Luke Fickell and Mike Tressel appear to be building defensively for the future of Wisconsin football.We'll analyze:

Owen Foxwell's basketball journey has already been unlike almost anyone entering college basketball. After spending the last four years playing professionally in Australia's National Basketball League, one of the top pro leagues in the world, Foxwell steadily developed into a high-level guard while posting career-best numbers this past season. Originally committed to Louisiana State University, Foxwell ultimately reopened his recruitment before committing to University of Wisconsin, giving the Badgers one of the most unique and experienced additions in college basketball.Foxwell's move to the NCAA has sparked major conversation across the basketball world, particularly surrounding his eligibility. Because of his professional background in the NBL and the fact that he went through the NBA Draft process last year when he became draft eligible, many questioned whether he would still be able to play college basketball. His path has created broader discussions around international players, professional experience, and how eligibility rules continue evolving in today's game.Despite all the attention and uncertainty surrounding the transition, Foxwell is confident his professional experience will allow him to adapt to college basketball almost seamlessly. Having already competed against grown professionals for multiple years, he enters Wisconsin with a level of maturity, physicality, and understanding of the game that few incoming players possess. With high expectations surrounding both Foxwell and the Badgers, his transition from the NBL to the Big Ten will be one of the most intriguing storylines in college basketball next season.

Is it time to rethink the configuration of the US Supreme Court – not nine justices divided along lockstep ideological lines, but three groups of three justices, each clique with a different approach to jurisprudence? So argues court watcher and legal analyst Sarah Isgur, who discusses her new book, Last Branch Standing: A Potentially Surprising, Occasionally Witty Journey Inside Today's Supreme Court, and explains where the justices stand on a series of contentious issues (“birthright citizenship”, the administrative state, abortion, the court's relationship with an antagonistic president on matters like tariffs and executive authority, plus maintaining a semblance of impartiality in a polarized Washington). After that: the three fellows discuss what's next in Iran with peace negotiations seemingly at an impasse, what to expect from this week's US-China summit in Beijing, plus what challenges lie ahead for Hoover fellow Kevin Warsh as he takes over as the Federal Reserve's new chair.  Subscribe to GoodFellows for clarity on today's biggest social, economic, and geostrategic shifts — only on GoodFellows.

Seth and Sean discuss which Texans Sean has making the 53-man roster, the concerns around RB depth, how Nick Caserio says the Texans use mock drafts, Jags GM James Gladstone defending reaching for players in the draft, and react to TMZ following Mike Vrabel around at the airport asking questions.

The Wisconsin Badgers seek redemption and a return to Big Ten prominence with new transfer portal additions and a retooled offense. Can quarterback Colton Joseph, a dynamic but inconsistent playmaker from Old Dominion, solve the Badgers' long-standing quarterback woes and ignite a vertical passing attack? The revamped offense features fresh faces at receiver and running back, with Jalen DiMaggio and Eugene Hilton, Jr. creating buzz alongside a bolstered line and a new starter at center. Brian Smith and Ryan Herrings assess spring standouts like Iowa State transfer Abu Sama and breakout linebacker Jon Jon Kamara, while questioning if Wisconsin's recruiting—strong in-state but struggling at defensive line and corner—can lift the program's ceiling. With a friendlier 2024 schedule and high expectations, the pressure is on for the Badgers to produce eight wins and secure key rivalry victories. Will the new-look Badgers put last season's frustrations behind them and seize momentum? Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it's time to make it official.

Sometimes, a story doesn't just stay a story — sometimes, something actually changes. Wildlife photographer Ian Wood returns to our Show with powerful updates following our first conversation. After winning the People's Choice Award at Wildlife Photographer of the Year with his now well-known badger image, Ian has continued to push the story forward — recently winning the documentary category at the British Wildlife Photography Awards with a six-image series focused on the badger cull in England. But this conversation goes beyond photography. We talk about what has happened in the months since — the major positive shift around the badger cull in the UK, the still ongoing discussions around fox hunting, and what it feels like to see something you've invested time, energy, and emotion into finally begin to move in a different direction. We also talk about the process behind building a documentary series, the importance of thinking in ideas rather than just images, and how photography can sometimes become a way to keep important conversations alive. Along the way, there are also the small moments — swallows returning in spring, building hides, lentil loaves and the simple joy of being out in nature. Grab a coffee, settle in, and join us for this wonderful conversation with Ian Wood.
