Is the brawl at the Wisconsin State Fair a campaign issue? Chris Conley thinks maybe it is, on the WSAU Wisconsin Morning News.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The college football 2026 AP Preseason Poll is out, and we excitedly break down this poll that proves itself to be meaningless year after year. Do we agree with the rankings? Which teams will drop into obscurity? Who will be the Indiana of 2026? We are weeks away from our live tour hitting the road, and we recap band practice from yesterday.

Brawls on the closing night of the Wisconsin State Fair. More with Chris Conley on the WSAU Wisconsin Morning News.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brian reflects on an emotional weekend leading up to taking his son to college, weaving in a review of The Odyssey and its theme of longing for home as a picture of the Christian's longing for heaven. He shares a deeply concerning survey finding that over half of Gen Z investors are redirecting retirement savings into sports betting, and covers a wild story of brawls erupting at the Wisconsin State Fair. Brian also digs into an Atlantic piece on the "romance recession" — the disconnect between young people wanting marriage and actually dating — and unpacks the viral term "LARPing" (performative, inauthentic behavior), applying it to the danger of "spiritual LARPing," or hypocrisy, that Jesus condemned in the Pharisees. He closes with a sobering but hopeful Nine Marks article on the Bible's repeated pattern of flawed fathers and the gospel's invitation to repentance and restoration, plus a rich walk through the hope of Romans 8.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brewers take game four against the Dodgers 6 to 2! Milwaukee ends up taking 3 of 4 in the series and win the season series with the victory on Sunday. Tim Allen and Steve "Sparky" Fifer broadcast from the Wisconsin State Fair.

On Monday's "Dan O'Donnell Show," the mob takeover of the final night of the Wisconsin State Fair is just the latest example of how out-of-control things have gotten in David Crowley's Milwaukee County and why electing him governor would be an utter disaster.

Another weekend in the books as we speed through Summer and get closer to Fall. Very busy weekend for me with birthday dinners, parades, housework, Oktoberfest beers, and spending time with good friends. Snuck in a Spooky Spin win or two, as well! I am definitely going to spend a few hours working on the lawn today and maybe even putting up a few Halloween decorations. In the news this morning, actress Hayden Panettiere has died at age 36, a couple of planes with the same callsign ended up on the same frequency and were heading on a collision course, multiple fights at the end of the Wisconsin State Fair end with several people getting arrested, a recall on a tomato bisque sold at Walmarts nationwide, a change for Lime riders in the Twin Cities after multiple street-takeovers the last few weekends, and teen pleads guilty to harassing a sea lion after the video went viral. In sports, the Brewers took 3 out of 4 from the Dodgers this weekend, an update on Brice Turang's condition, Abner Uribe ends up on the 15 day IL, Joey Logano won on Saturday at Richmond, Von Miller signs with the Cowboys, Jamal Adams is out for the season with an knee injury, and a look at week 2 of the NFL preseason. We talked about all the news from this past weekend's Disney D23 event and we also let you know what's on TV & streaming today/tonight. A family on a beach in NJ recently found a MEGALODON tooth!!! And a kitten that was recently involved in a bank robbery now has a new fur-ever home! Talked about the most popular sodas in America, based on Instacart data, and according to a new survey, 18% of Americans prefer to get cooking advice from a food "influencer" rather than from their own mother. Elsewhere in sports, Tommy John died over the weekend, and a bunch of people have been trolling Jayden Daniels and his attempt to "own" the number 5. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a woman who is spray-painting her dead bushes so she doesn't get fined by her HOA, a school workbook created by A.I. has tons of errors, a former bowling coach in Iowa is charged with multiple felonies after an online sting, a #FloridaMan who attacked his neighbor with dog poop, and a woman who killed a guy while some rough foreplay.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

School bells are about to ring and just like students, teachers are getting ready. Now, there's a way for parents and supporters of those agriculture teachers to get them started on the right foot! Teri Barr visit with Pamela Stuttgen. She wants to be sure her daughter walks into the classroom this fall, and finds a back-to-school gift box waiting for her there. The Colby, Wisconsin woman believes it’s a simple way to show — someone has noticed the work agriculture teachers across the state, do every day. For the past three years, Stuttgen has sent this surprise to her daughter, Jessica. She’s an ag teacher in the Athens School District. But this year, Stuttgen decided to send a second box, celebrating another agriculture educator in the state. “Ag teachers play a very important role in our school system,” she said. “However, they are so underappreciated.” And this gift has become more than a box filled with supplies and surprises. It’s now a wonderful way to recognize teachers who spend countless hours helping students discover opportunities within the agriculture industry. The last weekend of the Wisconsin State Fair will work with moderate temperatures and some rain. Stu Muck says that pattern won't change until at least next week. Harvest may not have started, but farmers are getting a pretty good idea of what their crop will yield. Pam Jahnke visits with Dr. Shawn Conely, UW-Extension Soybean Specialist about the 2026 WI Soybean Yield Contest. Conley says the opportunity not only puts prize money in producers pockets, it also generates real-world information that can help Conley and his research team. Paid for by WI Soybean Marketing Board. The Wisconsin Products building at State Fair Park features everything you'd like to enjoy from the state's farmers. Kiley Allan takes a little time to find out how the cranberry growers are doing. Holly Herline, Communications Director with Wisconsin State Cranberry Growers Association says the season looks good. Friendships forged at fairs, through 4-H. There's stories all around with that nucleus as its start. Pam Jahnke visits with a group of 6 Sheboygan County 4-H youth that bonded over their mutual love of poultry. Katherine Arbuckle and Lyla How are two of the members. While this group was exhibiting for different 4-H clubs, their mutual interest in poultry ultimately brought them together. Once they showed side-by-side, they found out they also all played music! That led to the beginning of "What's Up: Chicken Butt Band". The troup of poultry appreciators perform at different events all around Sheboygan County and also performed at the WI State Fair. The passion these kids have for poultry has also ignited a new event at the Sheboygan County Fair through a new costume contest! Lyla How tells Pam Jahnke that the best birds for the dress-up event are the "fluffy ones" - because they don't move around so much. And now you know. What's Up: Chicken Butt Band does have its own social media page if you'd like to follow these 4-Her's friendships.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Wisconsin State Fair stands as one of the premier agricultural events in the Midwest, offering a unique opportunity to connect families directly with local food producers. In this episode, we sit down with Stephanie Hughes, dairy farmer from the Pittsville area and board member of Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin (DFW).

The Wisconsin State Fair is about 48 hours away. Each moment this year will be precious for John Yingling. Not only is is the 175th anniversary of the fair, it's also the last fair John will enjoy as chair of the WI State Fair Park Board. Pam Jahnke visits with the neighborhood boy who found his way to the fair. Yingling admits, when he was first presented the opportunity to be on the board - he was not prepared. Rain is already showing up on the margins of Wisconsin. Stu Muck says it'll warm up today with the best chances of rain building into the afternoon. The diversity of items on the Steffes auction site is pretty amazing. Ashly Huhn joins Pam Jahnke to highlight a few unique items/groups that you won't often see, including professional nutrient handling equipment. Paid for by Steffes Group. Seems like many neighborhood porches have bags and boxes of fresh produce waiting to be shared. That's one way to use the overflow from gardens and farm markets. That fresh produce only lasts so long though. What about the baked goods we make, or the preserves generated. That's where people have to be careful. Teri Barr joins us with an update from the WI Farmers Union on efforts to update the "Cottage Food" guidelines in the state. Michelle Rameriz-White says some of these rules need to be revisited to allow small scale food processors market access. The harvest has begun in some areas of the U.S. John Heinberg, market advisor with Total Farm Marketing in West Bend joins Pam Jahnke to discuss. Did the rain come in time to save much of the corn crop? Good question and one that the market's weighing this morning. Heinberg also points to early anxiety about China's purchases of soybeans, but also interest in corn and wheat!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Wisconsin State Fair offers 10 days of memory making experiences and the state's dairy industry wants to be front and centerThrough unique partnerships at WI State Fair, Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin works to connect directly with consumers. One partnership accomplishing that is with the Wisconsin State Fair Dairy Promotion Board and Dairy Lane. Stephanie Hughes, a dairy farmer that sits on DFW board representing district 12 says the fair’s milking demonstrations draw plenty of attention. Hughes says that with branded educational materials, industry messaging and talking points, DFW is helping prepare Dairy Lane ambassadors to answer questions and share accurate, engaging information about dairy farming. English-language milking demonstrations are held every day of the fair, and Spanish-language demonstrations are offered each weekend. That helps make dairy education more accessible to even more families. It doesn't end there. New this year is the partnership with Piggly Wiggly on August 14th. This special event will feature a Born To Dairy™ activation outside the Cream Puff Pavilion and Dairy Building from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It will be another fun opportunity for consumers to meet dairy farmers, learn more about Wisconsin dairy and celebrate what makes our state Born To Dairy™. Hughes is also looking forward to the return of the always popular Blue Ribbon Dairy Products Auction. Did you know that DFW creates the cheeseboard featuring the champion cheeses. It’s a beautiful—and delicious—way to highlight the quality, craftsmanship and variety of Wisconsin’s award-winning dairy products while celebrating the cheesemakers and dairy farmers who make them possible.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does it take to walk away from a name your organization has carried for over 160 years – and replace it with something no one has ever heard? For Jeff McCarthy, SVP and Marketing Director at Bank Five Nine, it took research, courage, a tight-knit team, and an unwavering commitment to standing out in one of the most crowded markets in the world. In this episode of the He Said, She Said: Razor Branding™ Podcast, Jaci and Michael sit down with Jeff to walk through one of the most complete and compelling rebrand stories we’ve heard – from First Bank Financial Centre to Bank Five Nine. It’s a story of competitive audits, internal discovery, board presentations, and a brand launch that landed right in the middle of a global pandemic. Jeff shares how his team did it all in-house, why they chose red in a sea of blue and green, and how a three-word mission statement – make lives better – became the culture north star that unified an entire organization. Whether you’re considering a rebrand, trying to justify one to your leadership team, or simply trying to understand why clarity and differentiation matter, Jeff’s story makes the case better than any textbook could. In this conversation, you’ll hear: How a name change gave Bank Five Nine permission to tell a 160-plus-year story Why internal buy-in is just as important as external launch strategy The risk Jeff took by keeping the rebrand in-house – and why it paid off How the Wisconsin State Fair became the bank’s biggest brand megaphone What “make lives better” really means when it’s more than words on a wall Listen wherever you get your podcasts or at razorbranding.org

I interview livestock exhibitors from all walks of life, but this conversation felt different.   Jimmy Tibbits of Mineral Point, Wisconsin, has earned some of the industry's highest honors, including Grand Champion and Reserve Champion Market Barrow at the Wisconsin State Fair, Beef Exhibitor of the Year, and was on a nationally winning collegiate livestock judging team. Yet, when reflecting on his journey, he didn't focus on the banners or buckles. He talked about the stories.   Because at its core, showing and raising livestock is about much more than winning. It's about the lessons learned, the friendships built, and the experiences that shape young people into the hardworking adults who are passionate about giving back to others.   The banners may hang on the wall, but the stories are what stay with us for a lifetime.

RUNDOWN   Nugget ice machines, clinking noises, and bizarre celebrity rumors (yes, even LeAnn Rimes' teeth). The warm-up turns nostalgic as the show celebrates musical birthdays for Billy Ray Cyrus, Gene Simmons, and Elvis Costello. And what about the chaos of late August sports: college football's return, the NFL looming, and the Mariners somehow both collapsing and contending at the same time? Hotshot recounts the fantasy football fiasco that ended his playing days back in 2007, while Mitch embraces his role as a “passionate pessimist” when it comes to Seattle baseball. And through it all, one bright spot remains—Brian Woo quietly posting Cy Young–level consistency, even if the voters never notice. Mitch interviews Nancy King, who was just 16 when a family trip to Seattle in August 1964 turned into the story of a lifetime. From checking into the Beatles' hotel, to a chance encounter with a Liverpool journalist, to being ushered into a private room where she spent 30 unforgettable minutes with John, Paul, George, and Ringo — Nancy recounts how one magical evening reshaped her life and inspired decades of storytelling. CBS analyst and Rose Bowl–winning coach Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to open another season of weekly college football chats, breaking down the new 12-team playoff format, the looming SEC and Big Ten power plays, and the frenzy around Arch Manning's Texas debut in Columbus. He weighs in on Washington's year-two outlook under Jedd Fisch, Heisman dark horses, and makes his first official “Rick's Pick” of 2025 — with Oregon and LSU circled for January glory. Mitch welcomes back Joe Doyle and Brady Farkas for episode 348 of this Mariners No-Table segment, where the trio dissects Seattle's uneven road trip, a roster struggling against lefties, and what Cal Raleigh's historic home run pace means for the franchise. With Padres, Guardians, and Rays looming, the group debates roster moves, Harry Ford's September call-up chances, and whether the Mariners are missing their moment to bury Houston.   GUESTS   Nancy King | Eyewitness to the Beatles' 1964 Seattle stay and lifelong storyteller of that night at the Edgewater Hotel Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst, Over Slot Substack   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | From Nugget Ice to Beatles Nights 21:56 | Passionate Pessimists, Fantasy-Free Since '07, and Mariners in the Madness 35:30 | GUEST: Nancy King; From North Dakota to the Edgewater: A Teenager's Night With the Beatles 1:05:25 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Kicks Off College Football: Playoff Paths, Arch Madness, and Husky Hopes 1:34:28 | GUEST: Mariners No-Table; Mariners No-Table: Clunky Rosters, Cal Raleigh's Power Surge, and a Crucial Week Ahead 2:02:21 | Other Stuff Segment: Chinese Taipei wins Little League World Series, Issaquah loses to eventual softball champion Texas, Seahawks preseason struggles & roster cuts (Marquez Valdes-Scantling uncertainty), Lee Corso's final College GameDay broadcast, John Wall retires from NBA, Bengals Ring of Honor controversy (Boomer Esiason email & Corey Dillon snub), Roger Federer declared billionaire via On Running stake, Nolan Bushnell turns down 1/3 of Apple for $50K, Sean Kemp sentenced to 30 days home detention, Michael Jordan & Kobe Bryant card sells for $12.93M, Ro Crowder rearrested for sniffing strangers, Bellevue Pickleball Club opening.

Today's Headlines: In maybe another Epstein distraction tactic, Trump held a fiery presser to announce he's taking control of DC's police and sending 800 National Guard troops for 30 days — despite crime being at a 30-year low. DC Mayor Muriel Bowser called it “unlawful” and noted Congress could've given her Guard control years ago. Trump also hyped his upcoming Alaska meeting with Putin to discuss “land swaps” for ending the Ukraine war. Zelensky isn't invited, but Trump hinted at a follow-up meeting, while European leaders scramble to meet him first. A judge blocked the DOJ's push to unseal Ghislaine Maxwell grand jury records, calling it a distraction. The US and China extended their tariff truce for 90 days, and the US will now take 15% of Nvidia and AMD's China AI chip sales for export licenses. Australia will recognize a Palestinian state at the UN in September, joining Canada and France. At home, a gunman killed 3 people outside an Austin Target, and explosions at a US Steel plant near Pittsburgh killed 1 and left another missing. Severe storms in the Midwest caused deadly flooding in Milwaukee, shut down the Wisconsin State Fair, and left 14 million people under flood alerts. Forecasters are also tracking tropical storm Erin in the Atlantic and Hurricane Henriette in the Pacific.
