It’s another unfiltered conversation on Cold World w/ DVJ & Michelle, coming to you from Milwaukee.

This episode gets into AOC, minimum wage, voting rights, civil rights and political power, including a discussion about why voting matters and what happens when communities actually use their political voice. DVJ also takes us back to his experiences growing up in Milwaukee and attending school in the city before going to Nicolet, talking about race, class, differences in opportunity, and the culture shock of seeing a very different side of life. The conversation then turns to 9/11, with DVJ sharing where he was when the attacks happened and reflecting on a childhood trip to New York and seeing the World Trade Center years before the tragedy. We also get into crime, incarceration and prison reform—including the question of whether every offense should result in years behind bars, the realities of overcrowded prisons, and the difference between holding people accountable and simply locking people away. And of course, it wouldn't be Cold World without some NFL talk. The guys discuss the start of football season, the Packers, injuries, and then go off on the controversy surrounding former Packers quarterback Brett Favre and the Mississippi welfare scandal.

It’s politics, race, personal history, sports, memories, and plenty of real talk—no polished talking points, just conversation.
