Well, bless our hearts, it’s another fine fall morning in South Georgia—though “fall” might be a stretch when the highs still hit 83. Donovan kicks things off with a look back at the Georgia National Fair that packed in over 612,000 folks, proving y’all will turn out for funnel cakes, Ferris wheels, and fried anything. From there, the conversation heats up faster than a cast-iron skillet as he takes on climate change deniers—and let’s just say, if you think global warming’s a hoax, Donovan suggests you find another show to listen to.
The show moseys into Georgia’s housing woes, where one in five home deals fell apart thanks to overpriced listings, nitpicky inspections, and a little too much “AI home staging” making fixer-uppers look like palaces. Then comes a doozy: DeKalb County Superintendent Devin Horton gets slapped with a 17-count federal indictment from his Illinois days—complete with kickbacks, gift cards, and a side of shame.
From there, Donovan gets fiery over Trump’s “law and order” theatrics in D.C., calling it out as “smoke and mirrors,” then shakes his head at the Presidential Medal of Freedom going to Charlie Kirk—and let’s just say his opinion on that “hero” ain’t exactly Fox News-friendly. He cheers MIT for giving the feds a polite “no thanks” on their new academic loyalty pledge, then closes things out on lighter notes: the Savannah Bananas’ wild 45-state tour, the gold rush of 2025, and how the average new car now costs over $50,000—which, as Donovan notes, is more than his first house.
It’s all delivered with that signature mix of caffeine, common sense, and a dash of sass—just another morning in South Georgia where the coffee’s strong, the takes are stronger, and the host ain’t afraid to ruffle a few feathers.
