Ep.31 - Call it a Christmas Tree | 11/30/25

This week, the fellas dive straight into the suddenly wide-open Republican primary for Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District after Rep. Tom Tiffany launches a run for governor. The headline shocking everyone: 25-year-old Michael Alfonso — Sean Duffy’s son-in-law — is running as a pro-Trump conservative. But the Right is already split: Is he the next rising conservative star, or wildly untested for Congress?

Then we take a hard turn into the viral internet chaos with the “6–7” TikTok and NBA meme that’s everywhere right now. Turns out it traces back to Philly rapper Skrilla’s “Doot Doot (6 7)” and exploded when LaMelo Ball and Gen Z took over the internet. SGV finally explains to Justin why everyone is yelling it.

Next, we roast the latest round of Democratic outrage over prison conditions and the growing push for comfort-focused criminal justice reforms. We ask the obvious question: Since when did punishment become controversial?

That leads directly into the insanity at the University of Wisconsin System, where lawmakers are now requiring professors to teach at least one class per semester. Faculty are furious. The guys? Not impressed.

We also break down a new Republican proposal for DNR permits and user fees on hiking, biking, foraging, kayaking, and outdoor recreation to plug budget gaps — and why the real motivation might not be what they’re admitting publicly.

On the cannabis front, the federal government finally shuts down the intoxicating hemp loophole, effectively ending delta-8, delta-10, THCA, and gas-station weed in Wisconsin. SGV takes a heartfelt victory lap.

Then it’s time for our annual Wisconsin tradition war: Tony Evers once again refuses to call the Capitol evergreen a Christmas Tree, choosing the politically safe “Holiday Tree” instead. We explain why this silly fight hits such a deep cultural nerve.

Finally, we cover the breaking bombshell: WisconsinEye — the state’s only public-affairs and legislative transparency network — will shut down December 15, 2025 unless it receives $1 million in emergency funding. If it disappears, real government transparency vanishes with it — and hardly anyone seems to care.
