In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys roast Secretary of State Sara Godlewski’s latest viral moment, where she seemed genuinely shocked that hail is a normal spring weather event in Wisconsin — proving once again that weird politician videos never get old.

They dive into the increasingly hostile Democratic gubernatorial primary, where the knives are finally coming out as Kelda Roys starts throwing stones at her rivals. Roys just picked up the powerful WEAC teachers’ union endorsement, which the hosts say makes the already crowded field even tougher for everyone else.

On the Republican side, Tom Tiffany drops a brand-new campaign ad that perfectly mixes the best (and most cliché) pure Wisconsin vibes and the guys give it high marks for hitting the right notes.

Just a few weeks after Chris Taylor’s big win for the Supreme Court, another Democrat-aligned candidate has already jumped into the next open seat, prompting the hosts to sigh, “I’m tired” at the nonstop election cycle.

In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys are joined by returning guests Eric Brooks and Nicole Balisterli for a post-election roundup of the 2026 Supreme Court of Wisconsin race. The panel calls the night a clear disappointment for Wisconsin Republicans, with conservative candidate Maria Lazar falling to liberal Chris Taylor by a full 20 points—solidifying the court’s 5-2 liberal majority for years to come. They do highlight some bright spots in the local races, including strong conservative performances in the Brookfield mayoral contest, the Washington County Circuit Court seat, and the New Richmond School District board races. The conversation also covers the split results on the Waukesha School Board and the disappointing loss in the Waukesha mayor’s race. The bulk of the episode digs into the Supreme Court blowout and launches a nuanced, but realistic discussion on the Wisconsin GOP’s shortcomings—where the blame truly lies, what needs to change, and how the party moves forward. For “Candy Stories,” the hosts can’t resist poking fun at State Sen. Kelda Roys’ latest stunt, joking that she’s using her college political-theatre major to magically double her support… from 1% all the way up to 2%.

In this episode of New Fashioned Conservatives, two semi-involved Wisconsin guys break down the high-stakes Wisconsin Supreme Court debate that took place this week, where the justices clashed over everything from election maps to abortion and the future of the court’s 4-3 balance following Justice Bradley's retirement.

They also cover the arrest of the head imam at the Islamic Center of Wisconsin, who was picked up by ICE on immigration violations. The hosts roast Gov. Tony Evers for pulling a classic Friday news dump on Good Friday, vetoing a stack of Republican bills hoping most Wisconsinites would be offline or at church and miss the story entirely.
