On Friday's "Dan O'Donnell Show," Dan unearths video of a young sociopath inviting every thug in Milwaukee to come to Wisconsin State Fair and fight, steal, and intimidate fairgoers. This, like today's first meeting of Governor Evers' Commutation Advisory Board, is clear evidence that Democrats cannot and will not enforce society's rules or standards against those hellbent on breaking them. Plus, a Republican in the Assembly demands accountability from the Milwaukee Elections Commission following the absentee ballot debacle earlier this month. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Wisconsin State Fair can definitely steal the show for its 10 days of education, entertainment and food. Remember though, Wisconsin is home to many district and county fairs that also invite visitors in.

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.

Another weekend in the books as we speed through Summer and get closer to Fall.

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.

Black explains to Pam Jahnke how she's trying to make sure all fair goers get a slice of that experience when they attend.

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.

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.
