Governor Evers Keeps A Promise And Kristin Brey Joins The Show!! (Hour 1)

From the Civic Media Radio Network, moving Wisconsin forward one joke at a time, this is

as-go's Wisconsin with Kristen Brott.

As-so-go, as-so-go, as-so-go, as-so-go, as-so-go, as-so-go, as-so-go, as-so-go, as-so-go, as-so-go,

Oh, it's going, no one knows.

Hello, Wisconsin!

Now, filling in for the new mom, here's Jane Mattenair.

Good morning, and thank you so much for joining As-Go's Wisconsin-Great-Bot-His-With-Me.

In the studio, Calvin is on the board, and we always love to hear from you.

You can call and-or-text at 844-967-2789-844-966.

Party!

And if you're watching on the live stream, on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, you can leave

a comment there as well, lots and lots of things going on.

Jam Pack Show.

Jam Pack Show.

Uh, Dane County Judge handing a victory to abortion rights supporters yesterday, after

ruling that the 1849 abortion law does not prohibit abortions.

So that ruling could eventually be appeals to Wisconsin Supreme Court, which recently

flipped to liberal control, left to the election of Justice Janet Proto.

Say what's-?

Coming up at 1130, we're very excited to have Michelle Belleska of Wisconsin Plant Parenthood

is going to be joining us to talk about what this means and what's next and where this

is all going, how this is all going to play out over the next-over the next few months.

So that's big news, also big news this morning.

Governor Evers just about, so I want to say 20 minutes ago, vetoed the Republicans bill

banning gender affirming care for LGBTQ youth.

Evers said on Twitter, I promised I would veto any bill that makes Wisconsin a less safe,

less inclusive, and less welcoming place for LGBTQ folks and kids.

I keep my promises.

Thank you, Governor Evers.

I think this is a good thing.

Wisconsin watch goes into a little bit more detailed gender affirming care is Dr. prescribed

treatment endorsed by every major medical association in the United States.

Peer reviewed research has shown that social transition and medical care like puberty blockers

and hormones that were targeted by the bill actually improved the lives of those with gender

dysphoria.

In Wisconsin, transgender care for kids is prescribed with the involvement of medical

professionals and parents does not involve the use of medication until puberty and does

not in most cases involve surgery until they reach adulthood.

So I think there are a lot of these fallacies that are being promoted by some on, yes,

we're doing top surgery on nine year olds.

That's not happening.

Nope.

That's not true at all.

Absolutely.

I'm true.

Also in this article that I'm looking at here, a coordinated conservative and Christian

nationalist movement has fueled the deluge of misinformation, Wisconsin's ban that

was introduced by representative Scott Allen of Waukesha mirrors legislation from the

right wing group family policy alliance, family policy alliance strives to conform all

levels of government to a biblical world view, eight, four, four, nine, six, seven, two,

seven, eight, nine, eight, four, four, nine, six, seven, two, seven, eight, nine, seven

or even just moments ago, 20 minutes ago, be doing legislation put forward by the Wisconsin

GOP that would ban gender affirming care for youth.

Is this a good thing?

Is this a bad thing?

Does the government belong making these decisions?

Again, I go back to parental rights.

I am the parent.

I get to decide what my child reads.

I get to decide where my child goes to school.

I get to decide except in this instance when the government is going to decide for you

that they know better.

Correct me if I'm wrong, 12 years of Catholic schooling nearly 10 years of youth ministry.

I don't think we ever cover that chapter in the Bible, which this group wants to conform

the country to about gender reassignment, gender affirming care, trans status, who you

are.

You know, there's nowhere as like Ephesians says, that was born a man, you are a man.

If you're a lady, too bad, it's the Bible.

Well, and I also think there are all these misconceptions.

And if I have gay friends in my life, I know several transgender people, if you, if you

posit to them that they realize they were gay after they read a book or they were influenced

to become gay by reading a book, they all laugh.

Yeah.

That's not how that works.

And on the other, on the other side of the coin, if you have the, you know, if you have

friends who are in that, in that community, gay, why would they identify trans, remember

just how happy they were after they realized who they were, they came out and, and told

the world, this is who I am, and I am proud of it, their life gets better.

There is so much mental health wise that goes into this.

And I mean, I just saw, I just saw a video today, a very innocuous video that said, remember,

the rainbow wasn't about gay pride, it's about the promise that God made to know up.

Like these are the types of things that caught that tell kids not to come out to their parents

because they're afraid, they're, and then, and then they harm themselves or they, they

can harm themselves.

Yes.

The rates of self harm amongst the youth and suicide is abominable and a, and shameful.

So yeah, this is good thing.

Thank you, Governor Evers.

And for those who are spreading disinformation, just simply go to the American Association

of Medical Colleges, it is a very accredited website and it'll give you everything you

need to know.

And you might still not like it, but that's the truth and you don't get to make up your

own truth.

844-967-2789-844-967-2789, if you want to call in or text on this, Governor Evers,

just be to wing this morning, Republicans bill, banning gender affirming care for LGBTQ youth.

Again, Wisconsin transgender care for kids involves medical professionals and parents does

not involve the use of medication until puberty and does not, in most cases, involve surgery

until they reach adulthood.

And they're, again, this misinformation about, we're doing top surgery, a nine-year-olds

and a seven-year-old can just walk into a doctor's office and say, I want to be a boy.

Yeah, that's, yeah, that doesn't happen.

No, no, no, if a kid wakes up in the morning, go, I want to be a boy.

It's like, well, you want to be an astronaut last week, too.

But let's talk about it.

Right.

Let's why do you think you want to be a boy or you are a boy, you know, like, like you

said, this is a parental issue, this is a privacy issue, this is a family issue, this is,

and that we do not belong in their homes as a government.

They need to make these decisions.

Parental rights.

Exactly.

In fourth, unless we don't like that, unless we don't like what you're doing as a parent.

Exactly.

Then we're going to step in so that, yeah, yeah.

So you do the right thing.

I had a great idea.

I'm going to tell you how to raise your kid and I'm also going to burn books.

Karina is on the line from Milwaukee.

Good morning, Karina.

What do you think about the governor's vetoing of this, this measure this morning?

Well, I think it's, it's, it's a, it's a, it's a, a right thing to talk about it and

it's right thing to talk about it on the government level, not on the religious level because

I honestly don't know how that intended for us to look like, okay, because, um, well,

if you're going to look at the angels, he's first experience that all asexual or bisexual

if you want to, so it's, um, it's, it shouldn't be even tied up to the religion.

And, and, and if you wanted to really, uh, tie it up to the religion, then you have to

go into a lot of assets and trust and not living in the lie because if you don't feel

that you're living your best, then you're living your life.

And it's a depression, it's a mental health issues, it's a suicide, it's a drug addiction

and, and the general unhappiness.

So we are, even by religion, by God, if they, they want to use it, we're given a free

will of the people, so we should be able to use it.

You got a point there, Karina.

And also don't forget.

Thank you so much for calling and don't forget also the high rate of young queer youth,

specifically trans youth, who are, who are living without a house, who do, who are homeless

or our, our couch surfing, because they can't live at home.

Exactly.

Uh, we got a, a message on the live stream from our good friend, Mr. Joseph McLear,

Kudos to the governor, the GOP has made it clear that they don't care one bit about the

health and safety of trans youth.

It's good that somebody does.

Thank you, Joe McLear.

I was going to make a joke about me like, he's law firms should be like, just don't make

it clear.

Make it McLear.

Oh, that's dumb.

It was dumb.

Don't answer me, Joe.

And for a conservative advertising consultant, Greg is available.

Don't hire me.

This just reminds me, it's what you talked about this months ago, Greg.

And do you remember Grandpa Bob?

I will never, ever forget for, get Grandpa Bob, Grandpa Bob called in when we were talking

about this.

And it was one of his grandchildren, was LGBTQ, Nicola, I believe it.

And he just shared basically what we hear from other people is that once his grandchild

started getting the correct care and treatment, this kid blossomed, blossomed.

And he was so emotional and so lovely, I will, I will never forget when he called in

and was just, you can't take this care away from these kids.

Yeah.

I mean, you could tell, and you know, the best part about it was listening to him, you

were listening to a man who clearly had to do his own thinking on what he believed in

the matter.

You know, there are a lot of parents out there and kudos to them, great to them.

Who can do it?

It's my kid, it's my grandkids, my grandmother, no matter what, it's a struggle for people,

especially older people to understand.

Sure.

But you could see that through the struggle, he realized, this is my grandson.

I love him, no matter what.

And I want to see him have, and the fact that he made him happy.

He had me and Jane and tears.

Yeah.

It was, we were both a mess.

I was, it was beautiful.

And we, we need more grandpa bobs in the world.

We want grandpa Bob to go on and tell the good word.

And that is, except them, they're your, they're your kids.

There are kids.

There are exactly, exactly, exactly.

Well, kudos to Governor Evers for today.

Yeah.

And stay close.

I want to remind you, Kristen Brie is going to be joining us at 1033.

Yes.

The new mama is going to be joining us as she does now Wednesdays while she's on maternity

leave from 1032 11 o'clock.

We're going to do the good, the bad and you did what on the witness stand?

Really?

Really?

I couldn't help it.

I was hungry.

Okay.

That's fine.

Thank you.

Stay with us.

You're listening to Asgos, Wisconsin, across the civic media radio network.

Hey, hey, hey, stay with us.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Welcome to As Goes Wisconsin, Jane Matt Nair, and for Kristen Ryg, Greg Bach with me in

studio, Calvin is on the board.

And we always love to hear from you at 844-967-2789, shout out to everybody in Wisconsin

Rapids this morning, listening on WFHR Homegrown Radio and on WGBW in Green Bay.

Thank you.

Thank you for joining us.

All kinds of stuff is breaking this morning.

It's been kind of crazy.

Now thank you to our new stringer Joe McLear on a live stream, letting us know that Kevin

McCarthy, former speaker of the house, is now out of the house.

Whoa.

It mean, that's not surprising, no, he's going to do the same thing that Banner did.

He's going to go.

He's going to retire.

Write a book.

He's going to write a book where he's going to seem way more less crazy than he'd tried

to propose, to propose himself to be.

And he's going to not be bothered by.

Bipolitan.

Be become a lobbyist.

Hmm.

Yeah.

I mean, speaker.

Yeah.

Probably go on the speaking circuit.

He'll, he'll, he'll be, he'll join some board directors, write a book, go on the speaking

circuit, become a part-time pundit.

You know, he's going to, he's going to take that, you know, six-figure salary and ramp it

up by like two more digits.

Probably.

Yeah.

Well, good luck, Kevin.

Very much.

Joe McLare for the heads up there.

Don't just be clear.

Be McLare.

I'm coming up next hour at 11 o'clock.

Um, we're going to be talking to you, but you, you, W Madison professor John Martin, um,

he's going to join us to talk about how climate change is affecting the hardiness zones

all across the country.

So this, this determines what you can plant and when you can plant, uh, depending

on where you are in the state or in your part of the country.

And things have gotten so things are changing so much that the hardiness zones are changing

now.

So Professor Martin is going to join us at 11 o'clock to talk about that at the same

time.

A story in this morning's Wisconsin State Journal, 2023, officially the hottest year

on record.

The analysis found this year's global temperature more than 1.4 degrees Celsius warmer

than pre-industrial levels close to the 1.5 degree threshold and the

pierce climate agreement.

And beyond what scientists say human and ecosystems can't adapt to, you know, I feel

like December 8th, 6th, 2024, we're going to be like, sciences have said that 2024

is the hottest year on record.

It's just going to keep getting hotter.

I mean, 33 degrees right now in Waukeshaw on December the 6th.

It's supposed to be in the 50s this week.

I know it's supposed to be 50, I think on Friday.

Yeah.

And that is just bonkers and what really, really grinds my gears is that the big argument

of either climate change deniers or people who are like, what's the big deal?

It's just a few degree.

That's their argument.

It's just a few degrees.

That's the entire earth heating up by a degree or two.

That is bigger than you can comprehend that's bigger than I can comprehend.

Right.

Because the smartest people in the room on this matter are worried.

Well, and let's not forget.

And obviously not everyone isn't, isn't, isn't as involved in the news as we are.

Yeah.

And read necessarily as much news.

But the number of.

Massive climate.

Shift the storms.

Yeah.

The sea changes, the hurricanes, the flooding, the fires, all of this is interconnected.

Yeah.

California spent the majority of 2023 on fire.

Yeah.

The Canada.

Yeah.

Remember Canada.

I mean, this summer, and that's something.

So if you live in Wisconsin, if you listen to this in Wisconsin, you'll remember that

somewhere around June, there was a nice orange fog over the whole area because of the

fires because of the wildfires.

And now they're saying, get used to that, this is going to become a regular thing.

This is not a one time deal because these fires aren't going anywhere.

And I think I mentioned a long time ago, the old adage of the National Park Service was

always only you can prevent forest fires.

Now it's only you can prevent wildfires because that's the bigger problem.

And it's almost like, yeah, this is what we're getting used to.

This is our new normal because we won't do anything about it.

And I also have to love the politicians who will stand on the chamber wherever whether it's

at the state level or whether it's in Washington and they'll hold up a snowball.

You know, in the middle of a hearing and say, well, we got snow.

That just that proves there's no climate change because there's nothing different between

climate and whether you overpaid hockey puck.

And the other thing I think people need to keep in mind as well when we talk about climate

change and the number of people on the move, the number of people trying to immigrate to other

countries. A lot of this is tied to climate change.

Either it's drought or flooding or it's so hot they can't grow anything anymore.

And they're trying to get to better circumstances so they can feed their families and live.

And until this is addressed, we are going to see more mass movements across the globe

as certain areas become less and less habitable.

And the thing too is we're coming into the realization now.

I'm this is not a statement on me on recycling from me saying I'm anti recycling.

I recycle. I got a big blue bin.

But this notion that they put it into our heads that if we just separated our plastic bottles,

this will make the difference.

No, those plastic bottles are on a big barge in the middle of the ocean and garbage dump there.

There's nothing's being done with them.

This is holding those committing these environmental crimes responsible.

And those are the big companies constantly pouring smoke, oil,

poison into the air and the water.

And they get away with it.

They get tax breaks.

They walk away.

Oh, we started a foundation.

We're fine.

No, they're the reason why this is happening.

And it's unfair that we're the ones we're like,

if you don't do something about it, Jane singular,

Jane out of eight billion people on this earth, we're going to be doomed.

It's going to be your fault.

Yeah.

You didn't separate your ones and your sevens on your in your in your bin.

And how disappointing was that to find out that after we've been doing this for so long,

that that really kind of turned out to be a hoax too,

as far as what they were able to recycle and how effectively and efficiently,

they were able to recycle things.

I remember feeling guilty if I saw a can in the in the garbage.

Like that shouldn't be there.

What's going to happen to the earth?

Well, I'm not we're not saying don't separate yourself and you should still recycle.

Please do that.

We got a ways to go.

All right.

When we come back, Kristen, Brian, the new mom will be joining us.

We're going to do the good, the bad and you did what?

Well, you were on the witness stand.

I'm sorry.

It was due tomorrow.

Stay with us.

You're listening to Asgo's Wisconsin across the Civic Media Radio Network.

Oh, we're skating hard in here.

So take off all your clothes.

I am getting ready for this.

I want to dance right now.

Let it hang on.

Mix it a little bit up.

With it a little bit up.

Let it just fall out.

Give it a little bit up.

With it a little bit up.

Let it hang on.

I want it a little bit up.

And let's sprinkle it up.

Let it just fall out.

I like it when you're.

Good morning, welcome, welcome to Asgo's Wisconsin Jane Matnare,

in Fort Kristen, Brian, Greg Bach with me in studio,

Kevin on the board, and joining us on the live stream.

The one, the only Kristen, Brian, good morning, Mama.

How are you doing?

Well, that tingle and my throat from last week

did end up becoming a cold.

And so I'm on the the tail end of that and still kind of tired.

But, you know, hopefully, hopefully the good thing is now,

I can be it now and not at Christmas.

Yeah, yes, definitely.

If the time gets sick now is the time.

How is Frankie?

Lou, she's good.

But that's what's wild.

I was like, am I going to give this cold to her?

And like the path as long as you're breastfeeding,

like breast milk is like the most powerful liquid on the planet, I think.

And because as long as she's breastfeeding,

like she just never gets she never got sick.

Oh, wow.

Like your your body knows to start making like the antibodies for her.

And this hasn't happened to me yet.

But supposedly, and we can be we can ask Dr. Lyreley tomorrow.

But supposedly, if you're if she does get sick,

like your breast milk, the color of your breast milk will change

because it's like making what the baby needs as far as like combating

whatever sickness that she has.

Wow.

And there's also I just I don't I don't ask for this too.

If there's stem cells in breast milk.

And so the fact that you can use it for a variety of different,

like if you have a rash, if you have a stuffy nose,

and like not just on the baby who it's meant for,

but it can be used.

Like I saw different Instagram post ones that like professional weightlifters

are buying like third for like 30 bucks a bag,

like breast milk for like their gains and stuff like that.

So breast milk.

It's a magical thing.

I got this cold.

Probably Wednesday.

Rub and breast milk on my cold.

So it's going to go away soon.

I pray.

That's amazing.

I think maybe maybe we can try it, Greg.

As goes Wisconsin's very own line of breast milk.

Now there's a talk about merch.

Yeah.

So I was going to say now there's a merging diet,

merchandising line that nobody else would have.

I think we should maybe jump on that while we can.

The other thing I wanted to ask you about Frankie Lou

because I know that she's going one day a week to the nanny.

What was it like the first time that you had to hand her off

and then you went home?

Did you like worry about her all day long?

And I thought I hope she nobody drops her.

No, God, no, we're lucky enough.

So the person who's the nanny that we're using,

we're doing a nanny share.

And so two of our best friends and another family

have been, their kids are 14 or 15 months, maybe even 16.

And so they've been using Megan for almost over a year now.

Okay.

And so they kind of, you know, have tested her out.

And so she is one very reliable and great with the kids.

So that was not, I wasn't worried about her at all.

It was more of the weirdness of where is my appendage of like what is she doing?

And like it's she's doing one of three things.

She's either sleeping, crying or staring off into the abyss.

And so even when I leave her with Mike and I, you know,

I started going to yoga this week.

I started actually working out again.

Good for you.

It feels great.

But even in the middle of the yoga class, it's like,

I wonder what she's doing right now.

And like, water, you know, but it's, it's not like anything.

She's not making her first steps or saying her first words yet.

Right, not really missing anything.

But it's weird.

It's certainly weird.

But I wasn't, I wasn't worried at all.

But I can't imagine.

Again, you're thinking, am I going to miss her first smile?

I'm not going to miss her first giggle, you know,

little things like that.

But when you sent me photos of her, recent photos of her,

she certainly looks a lot more alert now.

And she's, she's awake for, for, for longer.

We had a whole photo shoot yesterday.

This is, and this is separate from the photo shoot we're going to have on

Friday for her Christmas, for the Christmas card.

This was just us, because I wasn't feeling great.

It was an afternoon nap of her just kind of sleeping on me and me taking a nap

and me justifying it, thinking that I only have 28 more days to do this

on a random Tuesday afternoon.

And so I'm not going to feel bad about not getting the thing on my to-do list

done that I was planning to do.

And Mike was out for the night.

And so we were just sitting there and she was really happy.

And so we just started taking all these pictures.

And so I have a whole, like, probably 15 photos of her actually smiling at giggling.

And I got, I got a new wallpaper for my phone of hers to kind of stick in her

tongue out and just look in adorable.

And so yeah, so it's not quite giggles yet,

but the smiling is there, which is really fun.

That's going to be such a thrill.

Right, it's just, I can't even, I have chills thinking about it.

And I'm not even related.

Well, I said this at her, she had her two-month appointment last week with the pediatrician.

And we don't go back until for her next appointments at four months.

And she goes, at four months, she's going to be, she's going to be really different.

Like, she's going to be, she's going to be able to see things, because her vision's still pretty,

you know, blurry, but four months, they can really start to see with clarity.

And holding her head up more and doing all these things.

And I was like, how unfair is it that basically right when, you know,

those of us who are lucky enough to get 12 weeks, which in this country is generous.

You know, at, at, you know, month three, then you're going back to work,

right when they start to actually have reactions to things.

And they can actually focus on you, yeah.

Yeah. And so, you know, right when she's starting to get a little bit more fun every morning,

I'll be like, here you go, Megan.

Have fun with her. I'll see you at four.

I'm precious, baby.

I get, I get three hours with her before she has to go to bed.

Right. Yeah, right. All right.

What we are going to go into the good, the bad, and you did what on the witness stand?

Starting out with the good. And this is from our friends at Up North News.

There are three pie makers in Wisconsin that have made food and wine magazines 100 best

bakeries in America. Oh, I think that's pretty good. Yeah.

That is pretty good. Right.

And there's three independently owned Wisconsin sweet shops that hit the 100 best bakeries in

America, according to food and wine magazine. The first one is bees homemade in Ellison Bay.

Tell her, tell her the door. It's the door county, right? Door county. Yeah, it's bees H.O.

Hyphen made in Ellison Bay.

Oh, homemade homemade. Yeah, homemade.

Yeah, we were talking about you. I'm slightly baffled. We need more context.

If anyone has been there, I would love to know the naming process that was involved in that. But

when you come to beautiful door peninsula and you keep driving and driving, you will finally

after all the other cherry pie commands, you will find yourself at the humble home of one

of the very best in the state, the one with the lardy crust, bees homemade and essential part of

the door county experience. I am absolutely pro cherry pie. Oh, gosh, yeah.

Any any any feelings on pie, Kristen Brung? I like pie.

I would say in ranking in ranking pies or ranking desserts. I would say, well, now we're being

pie specific. We're being pie specific. I don't know. I'm not very discerning as far as I like

an apple pie, like a rhubarb pie. I mean, I think if you combine enough sugar with any kind of fruit

or even a rhubarb, you know, it's it's going to be good and put throw some ice cream on top of it.

Greg, a big fan of the rhubarb. Yes. And if you make a strawberry rhubarb pie, good lord.

Good lord. Also making the top 100 best bakeries according to food and wine magazine,

Benson's in Racine, the Danish wrinkle, a Wisconsin thing, more than a Denmark thing, sorry,

Denmark, a butter rich in field with everything from almond to cherry to be con. These rings are a

common sight on kitchen tables throughout the region. They've been baking at Benson's since the 1930s.

Benson's Larson's and oh and H are the three biggest names in Cringle Cringle bakery in

Racine. I mean, I have eaten far more than I cared to admit in my life. But yeah, Benson's

is real. Benson's really all right. And origin breads in Madison shout out to you sourdough loaves

made with organic Wisconsin greens have made Kirk smock. I assume the owner something of a star

in Wisconsin's highly food literate capital cities. Well, actually, ma'am, it's not so much

about the baking. It's about the love apparently. So, but well done, Wisconsin bakeries. We're

proud of you. That's very, very good. That's great. That is good. The bad since October,

COVID-19 activity has increased in Wisconsin by about 50%. And we are all kind of living now like

it's gone. And it's not gone. No. And it's probably never going to be gone. Yeah. Right?

Well, I think it's I mean, this was always kind of the thought that once we never eradicated it

because we didn't we just couldn't, right? It was too contagious that you kind of it's RSV

flu and COVID-19. And that's just kind of going to become how we live with it. And people who

choose to get a shot every year versus people who don't. I'm sure there will be public health

campaigns trying to get you to do it. And the numbers will be the numbers. But as far as people,

people's willingness to really change their lifestyle again to avoid it, I think for those who

are immune compromise, they will continue to be those people. And then there's a lot of people

who are just going to treat it like a cold or a flu. Yeah. Definitely. One expert interviewed

said people are encouraged to think of COVID now as part of the respiratory virus season.

Because if you come down with cold-like symptoms, it's almost certainly because of a virus

and the three in particular, those are the flu, COVID-19 and RSV, the most important in terms

of severe disease. I have gotten my COVID shots. I don't have a problem with that. And I got my flu

shot. And I probably overdid the vaccines a little bit because I got my second shingle shot

at the same time. So that was perhaps you looked rough that day. The next day. The next day,

I really felt like I got hit by a truck and then the day after that. Quite the cocktail you got.

Yeah. That was like, Frankie had her two month appointment last Thursday and the three little shots

she had again. Just playing darts. Just there you go. There you go. There you go.

There's another one. There's another one. But 24 hours later, and I was absolutely fine. So

I still think I'm going to become magnetic if I keep getting my COVID shot because I was promised

that I would. Well, between that and the breast milk, you can become all powerful. Can I borrow a cup?

You can just have one. I got I got some despair. I got a lot of frozen bricks in the freezer right

now. This is the new breaking bad. But that's but if there is a shelf life to that right,

you can only keep it in the freezer so long. You can keep it in the freezer for six months.

So in the fridge, it's four days in the freezer at six months. And then if you thought,

you can't break freeze it. Right. That's longer than I thought, actually. I didn't think that

that would break that you could freeze it for that long. Who knew? I'm trying to stock up for when

I I bet I bet. And I know this is a very individualistic thing, Kristen. But is there an average

length of time that women breastfeed or is it just really I'm sure it's dependent upon how long

you can keep producing enough and that all plays a part in it. But is there, you know, is it six

months or is it average? I mean, I don't know it off the top of my head because there's an

average of any collection of data. But I would say I think it just comes down to like my girlfriend

of mine told me around six months, she just stopped producing as much as she was. And that was and

she had a big supply kind of leftover. But her body was just like done, you know, with the

conditions with it that it was. And I had come home from Thanksgiving and I noticed a difference

in my supply. And now it's come back. But it's kind of like your body kind of tells you your

kid maybe tells you my my cousin in law. I'll say that my my cousin's wife who was one of the three

that had a baby in July. So she's at four months once he could start to see more. He was not interested

in breastfeeding. He wanted a bottle and he wanted to look out and see the world. And she had to

deal with her own emotions of feeling rejected by her baby. Right. Which is not obviously not a

rejection, but just kind of what he wanted to do. And so I think but then there's babies who

do not want anything to do with a bottle. Right. And so I think it's so much of what is baby want?

What is your lifestyle? What is your work schedule? What is your pumping schedule? There's some

people who you know, they swim to the formula right away. So I think it's it all comes down to

a fed baby is the best baby. And what works for your guys is lifestyle. Yeah. It's not for everyone.

And as you've talked about the process and what's all involved with sterilizing things and all

of that stuff. And it really it's it's it's it's it takes a lot of effort and it takes a lot of

work. Yeah, it's work. I saw some statistic that basically the amount of hours it takes to breast

feed or pump for a baby in a year is about a hundred hours shy of a 40 hour work week. How many

hours you would work in a year that is if you work a 40 hour work week. And it's about just a tad

more than how much I want to how many hours it takes to breast feed a baby. Wow.

Kristen Brie is with us. I hope you will stay with us when we come back. The good the bad and

you did what on the witness stand and Tom is on the line from Grafton. I see you hang on there.

Peach Schwabba. Check it out. 8 to 10. Kristen again is here. We're doing the good the bad and you

did what on the witness stand. But we have a couple people who want to check in Kristen. We were

talking about baby Frankie and breastfeeding and all of those things. And we have Tom from Grafton

on the line. Good morning. Tell him what did you want to say. Hi everybody. I just want to encourage

you Kristen to keep on breastfeeding from a year at least my mother had four kids, two or a breastfed

and two or not. And the two that were not had way more allergies including bad food allergies.

One time my brother Paul almost died from a peanut butter thing. He was turning blue.

They went to the hospital. But my sister and I were breastfed and were as far as the

allergies go or are much healthier than the other two. I did have a question too. Is the doctor

where at least so on your show? She is. She'll be on tomorrow. She was gone last week as she had

a conflict. But yes, Dr. Lyle will be back here tomorrow at 1106 for our public service

announcement. And you can always if you have a question for her two time or anybody else you can

always send it in or email it in or just text it in and we will we will bring it up to her. So

thank you. Oh, I got one question for you Tom. So now when you're sitting around at Christmas,

do you and your sister who were breastfed mock your other two siblings who weren't?

It's like this is this is why I'm so much more as successful than you.

Well, no, no, no. But you know, you can see a difference especially when we were growing up

as as the teenagers and stuff. They they had many many more scalgies until like cats and dogs

and stuff like that. And the one brother he had the peanut allergy really bad is terrible. And

it almost killed him and he was like five years old. My mom wasn't driving then. And after that,

my dad's like, oh, you're going to start driving. Yeah. So you can take him to the hospital if you

have to, right? Exactly. Yeah. Thank you so much. Tom really appreciate it. And we had once

go ahead, Kristen. I'm going to say I also saw a funny name or something the other day that said,

my son just got a face tattoo. So go ahead and don't worry about breastfeeding.

And we have a comment from Dylan on the on the live stream. Just wait till your bundle of joy goes

to daycare and school to sickness that is coming your way. My God, I hadn't thrown up from actually

being sick for over 20 years. And then daycare came. It's the gift that keeps on giving the entire

year. Thanks, Dylan. And it looks like he has Dylan has his the picture of his kid right now.

Yeah, I will say I friends who have like kids in daycare. It's that immune system gets strong

fast. Yeah. A friend sent one kid. She's like, well, Charlie's home this week because

he has hand-footed mouth disease which sounds which I guess can transfer to you easily as an adult.

They're little Petri dishes. Yeah. We dig it a text from Pat Crite Low

up north. He said, Myers makes and sells an apple pie with caramel on top. You can't beat that.

Oh, that sounds good. That's amazing. We were talking pies a little bit earlier.

All right. And I have another question from you. We were talking about favorite Christmas songs

yesterday in a texture from the five four one. Do you have a favorite classic Christmas song,

Kristen? And what would be your favorite newer Christmas song? I think my favorite classic

what I think it's it's a tight one. But oh, holy night. It's still one of us. Oh,

holy night by like when Josh Groben sings it or, you know, someone who can really

sing a song. Michael Boobley or like an or look at some five boys. I have a kid when I had aspirations

to try to be able to sing. I remember really try and hit that note at the end and then

I'm sure I drove everyone if we had if we had we did have a dog. I'm sure he hated it.

And so that was the probably classic Christmas song. One of my favorites. I do love a lot of

Christmas songs. Newer? What it was a cut off for being a newer Christmas song? We're that we're

including like 30 years can be newer. Yeah, even like like people said Paul McCartney's wonderful

Christmas time. That's like. And I went with the beer naked ladies. God rest you, Mary gentlemen.

Oh, that's a good one. I mean, I can't I'm not sick of all I want for Christmas.

No, my right. Yeah, she still dominates. She's still it's you can't not sing to that song when it

comes on. All right. Well, we only got a couple of minutes left to get this in. It's the good

the bad and the you did what on the witness stand. So this guy is a real estate guy in Palm Beach.

She's some big shot. His name is Paul Moons Lawrence Moons. He is testifying in the witness box

of Donald Trump's civil fraud trial yesterday and his phone rings while he's in the witness box

and he takes the call. It's his father. Hey, dad, how you doing? You'll never believe where I am.

I kind of in the middle of something. Can I call you back? But I'm just him. Who does that?

You're in the middle of. Oh, lack self-awareness. You're in the middle of a trial. You're in the

witness box. And you're you don't you don't silence your phone. I mean, even just let it ring

and go to voicemail. I don't think a man who takes a phone call to witness standing at Donald

Trump trial is saying, oh, sorry. I got to call me back. He was like, he did this. He went.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Hold on one second. I gotta take this important call. I gotta take this

important call. Got a hot property. Got a hot property. That is your you did what for the week.

What's what's coming up for the rest of your day, Chris and Brian. I'm going to see you guys.

That's right. We're actually going to show this every one of the days. I know. I'm so looking

forward to our plan and our meeting to plan what what's coming up in January. We have another

meeting. I'm so excited. At least this one's in person. It's not over zoom. That's true. The way

the Kristen lit up when he said, I'm seeing you. And I'm like, Jane, what are you doing? I could

barely remember my own name from day to day. You guys just give me. But you remembered the caller

from the 514. Please, I'm done. Listen to your lies about your memory. Okay, fine.

Kristen, Brian, we love you. We'll see you later. Thank you. Thank you for joining us.

Stick around. The news is coming up next. And after that, we're going to be talking about the

changing hardiness zones across Wisconsin because of climate change. Stay with us. This is Asgo's

Wisconsin on the Civic Media Radio Network.
