Georgia Primary Day: Turnout Surges, Sports Betting Money Floods the State, and Kemp Signs a Major Elections Bill | Where The Party At? Podcast Primary Election Day is here in Georgia, and in this episode of Where The Party At?, Eldredge and Saba break down the latest turnout numbers, the massive influence of sports betting money in state politics, Governor Brian Kemp's controversial elections bill, and whether Donald Trump can continue his winning streak in Republican primaries. More than one million Georgians cast ballots during early voting a 19% increase over the 2022 midterm primary. But who's actually voting, and what does it tell us about the races ahead? We also unpack how a super PAC funded by major sportsbooks like DraftKings and FanDuel has spent over $10 million in Georgia legislative races, all in an effort to legalize sports betting. Plus: Governor Kemp signs HB 369, which will make many local elections nonpartisan in five metro Atlanta counties. Democratic district attorneys, including Fani Willis and Sherry Boston, prepare to challenge the law in court. Trump tests his influence in Indiana, Louisiana, and Kentucky. Mike Johnson defends congressional stock trading. We celebrate the record number of early voters who showed up to make their voices heard. Topics Covered Georgia Primary Election Turnout Over 1 million Georgians voted early, up 19% from 2022. Democrats accounted for 56.7% of early voters, compared to 41.7% for Republicans. Voters aged 65+ still dominate turnout, but their share dropped from 57% to 50.4%. Nearly 78% of early voters ages 18–29 did not vote in the 2022 primary, signaling major new participation. Sports Betting PAC Spending Sports betting companies formed the “Win for America” PAC. DraftKings, FanDuel, Fanatics, and Bet365 have poured more than $10.3 million into Georgia legislative races. Polls show 63% of Georgians support legalized sports betting, and nearly 80% want a statewide referendum. Kemp Signs HB 369 Starting in 2028, local elections in Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, and Clayton counties will become nonpartisan. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

The DeKalb County Board of Commissioners have put a moratorium on new data center applications through 2027. In the meantime, the county lawmakers are developing new regulations. However, Commissioner Ted Terry expressed his skepticism about the benefits of the quickly wide spreading technology hubs. Joining today’s Closer Look with Rose Scott, Terry said he wants a long-term impact study before he decides whether more data centers are right for DeKalb County. Also on today’s Closer Look, the Trump Administration has reportedly withheld $65 million from law offices across the country that represent unaccompanied minors. Without the federal government honoring its contract to fund the program, it’s due to expire July 31. Without a lawyer, children reportedly have a less than 10% chance of staying in the U.S. and immigration judges are nearly 100 times less likely to grant relief to a child. To tell us what’s at risk for the children, we’re joined by Jennifer Podkul, the Chief of Global Policy and Advocacy for Kids in Need of Defense. Also, part of the conversation is Jennifer Anzardo Valdes, the Director of Children's Legal Services at the International Rescue Committee.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome back to The Bourbon Road, recording live from the Bourbon Road Bar in Simpsonville, Kentucky — better known as Jim's basement. Episode 502 brings another overflowing tasting mat, proof that the samples just keep arriving faster than the boys can pour them. This week the lineup spans the full spectrum, from a brand-new family-founded label making its debut on the show to a beloved Illinois estate distillery, a coveted gift-shop-only release from a Northern Kentucky craft powerhouse, a toasted double oak expression from one of Owensboro's finest, and a bonus pour courtesy of a longtime Roadie friend from Ohio — a beer-world icon that crossed over into whiskey and never looked back. On the Tasting Mat: - Wooler Whiskey Kentucky Straight Bourbon (Batch 054): A four-grain, five-year-old small batch Kentucky straight bourbon bottled at 90 proof for $39.99. The mash bill runs 72% corn, 18% rye, 5% wheat, and 5% malted barley, distilled in Bardstown and finished in a number three char new American oak barrel. The nose opens with a pleasant graininess reminiscent of granola or muesli, accented by honey and the faintest dusting of cinnamon. The palate delivers a sweet, full-mouth experience with caramel, vanilla, and a gentle wheat-driven tingle on the finish. A welcoming, approachable bourbon from a family brand founded by Jason Wooler — built on resilience after a life-changing stroke. *(00:01:58)* - Whiskey Acres 7-Year Bourbon: Estate-distilled in DeKalb, Illinois, this 107-proof small batch blends 12 barrels aged between seven and eight years. The mash bill is 75% yellow dent corn, 15% soft red winter wheat, and 10% malted barley, with an MSRP of $74.99. The nose leads with green apple and caramel, evoking a candy-apple at a county fair. On the palate the soft winter wheat delivers a notably smooth texture, with spice building on the back, a whisper of oak and clove on the finish, and a subtle savory note that sets it apart. Whiskey Acres grows every grain themselves — a true seed-to-spirit operation and the show's 2025 Craft Distillery of the Year. *(00:10:22)* - New Riff Silver Grove Bourbon (2026 Release): The inaugural release under the Silver Grove label, this gift-shop-exclusive expression from New Riff Distilling in Newport, Kentucky is aged a minimum of six years and bottled at 116.4 proof for $59.99. Barrels were specifically selected for flavor profiles not typically found in New Riff's standard four- and six-year releases. The nose bursts with spice cake, bright cherry, and a morning-bun sweetness. The palate delivers a bold, full-mouth impact — honey-caramel richness layered with dark berry, cherry, and a long, warming finish. Available exclusively at the New Riff gift shop or via online order for in-store pickup. *(00:20:41)* - Green River Distillery Select Toasted Double Oak Bourbon: The oldest expression ever released by Green River Distilling Company in Owensboro, Kentucky, this eight-year bourbon is bottled at 115.1 proof in a 375ml format for $49.99 and is available only at the distillery gift shop or the Louisville tasting room. The mash bill is 70% corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted barley, aged in Green River's signature clay tile rick houses before a six-month secondary finish in lightly charred, medium-toast new American oak barrels. The nose delivers toasted marshmallow and a hint of campfire smoke. The palate is noticeably sweet — rich caramel and that same toasted marshmallow character carry through without tipping into char. *(00:27:34)* - New Holland Dragon's Milk Origins Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey (Bonus Pour): A gift from Roadie Mark Radliff and his wife Amy, this 95-proof, five-year-old bourbon from New Holland Brewing Company in Holland, Michigan is distilled on a pot still and finished in barrels previously used to age Dragon's Milk stout. The nose is immediately distinctive — chocolate, ripe peach, and a gummy fruit quality that carries straight through to the palate. The palate layers peach pie, a minty rye backbone, and a gentle sweetness unlike anything else on tonight's mat. A beer-world crossover that demonstrates what stout-barrel finishing can do for a well-made pot-still bourbon. *(00:38:25)* Episode 502 is a showcase of American craft whiskey in all its variety — from a $40 debut bottle to a proof-forward gift-shop gem — and a reminder that some of the most memorable pours come from the most unexpected places. If you haven't yet, head over to TheBourbanRoad.com, create a free Roadie account, and join the conversation in the Roadie Bar. Until next time, we'll see you down the Bourbon Road.

Sen. Sally Harrell was elected to the Georgia State Senate in 2018, representing DeKalb and Gwinnett counties. Prior to serving in the Senate, Sen. Harrell earned a Master of Social Work and worked as a non-profit executive. Recently, Sen. Harrell co-chaired a legislative study committee on Kids' Online Safety. She and her husband are proud parents of two young adult children. In this episode… Keeping kids safe online has moved beyond screen time limits and reminders about what not to click. From social media and gaming platforms to AI companion chatbots, lawmakers are focusing on features that can manipulate children or expose them to harmful interactions. Parents want stronger protections for their children, and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle agree more must be done. As lawmakers push to regulate harmful design and AI-driven risks, balancing child safety with innovation remains a challenge.  Protecting kids online takes more than one policy or parental control setting. Georgia State Senator Sally Harrell knows this well. She introduced a resolution to create a bipartisan-led Senate Study Committee dedicated to keeping kids safe online. The committee's work helped advance the bell-to-bell cellphone ban for high school students, building on the K through eight ban previously signed into law in Georgia. Their efforts also led to bills addressing addictive social media and gaming design and AI companion chatbot safeguards. The legislative process revealed how lobbying pressure and buried bill language can weaken broadly supported protections. Yet call to action matters. Parents and constituents need to stay engaged, get involved, and speak up to ensure legislators are held accountable for protecting children online.  In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels speak with Georgia State Senator Sally Harrell about the realities of advancing kids' online safety legislation. Senator Harrell explains how the bipartisan-led Georgia Senate Study Committee on kids' online safety turned parent concerns into legislative action. She shares a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to keep bills moving, including the constraints of short legislative sessions, Big Tech lobbying, and the role public advocacy plays. Senator Harrell also provides privacy and security tips for families navigating children's online activity.

On today’s “Closer Look with Rose Scott,” we have an in-depth discussion with the Atlanta Legal Aid Society about a study by Princeton University’s Eviction Lab. It shows Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb, Gwinnett, and Clayton Counties lead the nation in evictions. Those evictions overwhelmingly affected Black households -- more than white, Hispanic, and other racial groups combined. We also speak to Dr. Jodie Guest, Professor and Senior Vice Chair in the Department of Epidemiology at Emory University. The Ebola Virus is spreading quickly through central Africa and has already taken hundreds of lives. We learn more about the nature of the deadly illness and what’s being done to stop it from infecting more people.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Everyone is talking about Data Centers. Recently, host Phil Coover mentioned that he was doing a podcast about data centers. “Do you think that this data center thing is a big bubble?” someone asked. “No,” he replied. “That implies that the demand will somehow go away, causing it to pop. This demand isn't going away.” In order to break down what is really happening in Data Centers, Phil invited two McGuireWoods' colleagues with decades of experience in data center real estate, incentives, and government affairs: Greg Riegle, co-leader of the Real Estate Transactions Group and head of its data center practice, and Chris Lloyd, senior vice president and director of Infrastructure and Economic Development at McGuireWoods Consulting. “I don't know that there's been a more – pick your adjective – ‘interesting,' ‘dynamic,' or ‘challenging' time with respect to the data center industry,” Greg says. Tune in for the panelists' insights about the data center epicenter in Virginia, factors that a community must take into account when inviting a data center (like water consumption), and communities that are navigating the opportunity, like DeKalb, Illinois.

It's a full-blown Friday free-for-all on The Rizzuto Show as the crew dives headfirst into a triple-threat episode of chaos.Clownvis joins the show and talks about his viral interview with Maynard James Keenan — yes, that Maynard — and how he managed to get one of rock's most notoriously difficult interviewees to actually loosen up and laugh. The crew dives into comedy as connection, crying at work (turns out, most of us have), and the fine art of breaking emotional seals via TV shows like Lost and movies like Big Fish. It's vulnerable. It's weirdly wholesome. It's still unhinged.The legendary Bean Boozled “Good or Gross” challenge returns, and it's every bit as traumatic as you remember. Stink bug vs. toasted marshmallow. Booger vs. juicy pear. Burnt rubber vs. licorice. Somehow, against all statistical logic, the callers go on an absolute heater — five straight “good” beans — while the studio debates swallowing rules, floor beans, and whether anyone might actually jump out a window over a stink bug flavor. Concert tickets are on the line, dignity is not.And because no Friday is complete without spiraling into nonsense, the show also tackles:The rising trend of solo dining and solo concertsWhy driving a van becomes attractive after 25Whether Lent sacrifices actually last more than 48 hoursWhy people are specifically giving up Wendy's BaconatorsHow often you're “supposed” to replace your underwear (spoiler: nobody is following that timeline)And whether someone in the room might secretly have a “moss butt” situation brewingFrom pasta with Maynard to Fruit of the Loom formalwear to lawn seats at Five Finger Death Punch, this episode is a beautiful blend of gross-out games, accidental life advice, and the kind of spiraling tangents that somehow only make sense on a Friday.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Should You Change Your Underwear In Every 6 Months?“Most unhinged glow-up”: Unsurprisingly, Americans are obsessed with Fruit of the Loom's sweatpant suitSolo dining surges 52% as Americans embrace 'Me-Me-Me Economy' over shared mealsNC mom of three who vanished 24 years ago reveals why she ditched familyHopkins County woman charged after allegedly using “movie money” to post bondMan, two girls injured after suspected lightning strikes during Perth stormTwo charged with murder of Australian grandfather after 'mistaken identity' kidnappingBlock lays off nearly half its staff because of AI.
