Contests, Data Centers, and Parenting Discussions

Live from the Wisconsin State Fair! WTMJ hosts Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey kick things off by tackling former President Trump’s evolving stance on tariffs, trade, and the Gaza conflict, then get personal—did either of them ever vote for the opposite party? MMAC President Dale Kooyenga stops by to debate the pros and cons of building data centers in Wisconsin, the jobs they create (and don’t), and what it all means for the state’s energy future—including nuclear. Then it’s time to lighten things up. From Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard’s parenting style (kids swearing and non-alcoholic beer?) to the return of the President’s Fitness Test, Steve and Kristin dive into parenting culture with help from listeners on the Talk & Text line. Plus: a fun dairy quiz with 2025 Dairyland Ambassador Josie Bailey and a delicious rundown of this year’s Sporkies and Drinkies winners you won’t want to miss.
