In this special mid-week episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys drop a their first mid-week podcast to hold you over until Monday.

They start with the news that Missy Hughes has officially dropped out of the Democratic gubernatorial primary, though the guys note that her exit hasn’t really changed the dynamics of the race. They then recap the recent WISDOM forum, where Democratic candidates went all-in on progressive policies, including strong support for giving driver’s licenses and in-state UW tuition to illegal immigrants.

The hosts also break down the latest campaign ads from Tom Tiffany and Joel Brennan. Finally, they touch on the non-political (but still big) news that Giannis Antetokounmpo is officially no longer a Milwaukee Buck.

In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys react to Francesca Hong getting heavily ratioed after posting a cringey fake Knicks fan video that went viral. They also recap the results from the recent Democratic convention straw poll and question whether Mandela Barnes has become an even weaker candidate after finishing in 6th place.

The hosts then tear into State Rep. Greta Neubauer’s “Queer Pride Day” post, calling out what they describe as stolen valor for gays after she publicly claimed to be part of the community despite her lifestyle. For a lighter moment, the guys try the new Mountain Dew Dunkers from Kwik Trip and give their honest review. The episode wraps up with an interview with Katie Baney, Republican candidate for State Senate District 1.

In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys react to Kirk Bangstad officially being kicked off the Democratic gubernatorial primary ballot after failing to gather enough valid signatures.

They also share their guesses on the Republican straw poll results from the recent convention. On the Democratic side, the hosts break down Sara Rodriguez releasing her own internal poll, which they see as a desperate attempt to slow down the momentum of the more socialist candidates in the primary. Mandela Barnes released new policy proposals, though the guys couldn’t help but note that he doesn’t seem to know what a muskie looks like. David Crowley continues to struggle as his campaign is now forced to share endorsements with Francesca Hong. Meanwhile, Joel Brennan keeps lighting money on fire with his first ad buy.

The hosts also discuss the surprising news that there are now 97 total candidates running for the Wisconsin State Assembly. They point out that this high number of candidates challenges the narrative that 2026 is shaping up to be a blue wave year.
