Wisconsin Headlines & Pop Culture Questions (Hour 1)

About this episode

Pete and Greg discuss rising gas prices in Wisconsin, a judicial ruling on law enforcement transparency, and a controversial new Michael Jackson movie.

Pete and Greg break down why gas prices in Wisconsin are expected to spike, react to a judge’s ruling that the DOJ must release the names of law enforcement officers, and dive into a head-scratching pop culture story—a new Michael Jackson movie that leaves out key figures like Janet Jackson and Diana Ross.
