I
Said the night went to the little land
Do you see what I see
Way up in the sky little land
Do you see what I see a star
A star dancing in the night with a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite
Said the little land to the shepherd boy
Denise Lockwood is here from Rasing County, I you know
That's all I see here what I hear you know what that song came from
He was during the Cuban Missile Crisis
We thought the Russians will launch missiles from Cuba onto the United States and this song is written as a song as a
Hope for peace and the end of the Cuban Missile Crisis and that's what the song is written that do you hear what I hear?
And I mean now you listen to the lyrics
You will hear it you'll hear that and that's how it was written. I forget the two husband
Yes
Everybody is dying at these old
Norman Lear was 101 we're getting to that eight Henry Kissinger was a hundred
Rosalind Carter was like 96 or something like that dreams
Everybody's lasting a long time
So we're here with Denise Lockwood and we we have more to the story a little okay a little more to the story
We're talking and give a recap for people just tuning in at seven o'clock
We do have people that don't wake up at six they wake up at seven
So let's get a little recap of the story here at WRJ and
I'm Don Rosen Denise Lockwood with me and so this is has to do with the Raymond school
So a quick little recap and then fill us in on the fine. I don't know how you can do quick right now
But the bottom line is is that on Wednesday the Raymond School board
Decided not to continue
Jeff Peters in the principles contract with the school and so we're talking a lot about the why that happened
How that happened what's there's a lot of legal kind of fallout that is probably going to happen
So Jeff Peterson filed a discrimination lawsuit against
Not lawsuit. I apologize. I misspoke
a discrimination complaint with the EEOC and
Notice that a lawsuit could come out of that
There's there's a lot going on and politically there's also a recall of
To to school board members. There's I am not gonna
So there's more to cover in this story a lot more to cover
So as we stand right now there's not a lawsuit, but there's a complaint filed
And we don't know the end of that yet. Right
Jeff is out of a job. Yes, the superintendent is out of a job. No, he is he is choosing to leave at the end
He's retired. He's resigned. Yeah, anybody else out of a job
So there are nine people that left they're on accord. Oh, yes. Yes, but the you know
They also there's there is the lawsuit and this is the parents lawsuit piece of this is really compelling
So the parents are suing the school district and the school superintendent
Um, so the school board and the superintendent both of them saying that they can't pay use taxpayer funds to defend against that
discrimination loss
Complaint, right? If if a lawsuit comes you can't use that money and what that'll do
If the judge decides this will then make those school boards potentially
liable
personally for
That those that uh that those funds to defend against that
Harper Valley PTA. Okay, so you're gonna stand top of this. I am and you will give us the
As it goes along, you'll let us know what happens
But people can follow all this on receipt county i dot com
You've got some other stories on there recently and they said all remember to ask her about that one
You just headed on the other day
I have to go check the resume. They're a scene zoo
What about the rescues? Oh, so there was some rumors that the rumor mill was pretty high on that the the the city
Was going to defund the zoo, which is not the case. That's money. That's already been allocated in the budget
So that's not gonna happen. Animals are gonna eat. Yes. Okay, good because they were all over
Where's our where's our kibble coming from?
I know right it can't it's hard to defund the zoo and you have these animals to take care of me know
I mean they have to eat as effort and they've gotten the vets medical care
Gotta take care of the animals. What are the stories you work on anything else big right now? Well right now
We're gonna be working on
Monitoring the notices for candidacy and the filing of papers
It's this is the nerdiest of nerd stuff, right? So you've got elections coming and there's a lot of them
So Racine County board is has 22 seats all 22 of them. I'm sorry 21 of them are up for reelection
So there's that
Yeah
Wow and and the election coming up in 2024 nationwide every seat in the US House are representative is up for grab
Yes, that happens because they don't get the presidential election
Yeah, but the whole house is up for grabs and such a thin razor
Of the republicans leading anything can happen and you've got judges races now one of the things that I've seen
The judges races typically were not like well
There was always a judge and they had a judge and he was they would these were uncontested racism. We're seeing
Excuse me some some race some races are gonna have some contention to it. So it's interesting
It's not boring
We're seeing county i.com the news source for Racine County now Racine County i
That's a good name by the way. You come up with that. I did
Well, look at you
Then only the bulldog news reporter. You're also coming up with creative
I
Everyone's so well. I have an idea when I have some fun for a few minutes sounds like plan. All right
New poll asked people which would you rather receive a million dollars right now
Or three cents for every step you take
Okay, a million dollars because I'm not I need to get off the couch like a lot more
Well, here's how it breaks down. What did tell me 56% of people said they prefer the three cents per step
Okay, now if you do 10,000 steps a day. That's what you're supposed to do 10,000 steps a day. I do not
I'm I'm sad. You probably do more than you think though
You probably do more than you think apples apple does not agree with you. Oh, okay, so you actually
Yeah, I'll tell you a story in a minute if you do if you do get 10,000 steps a day. That's 300 dollars a day
2100 dollars a week
109,000 two hundred dollars a year and that would take you a little over nine years to get the million dollars
But here's the difference it keeps going. Oh, that is an interesting perspective and that's 2100 dollars a week coming in
Or ever as long as you can walk 10,000 steps a day
So now do you want the million so I think I need to switch my switch my sides on that one
Isn't that interesting you just keep going and once the million dollars is done you're done
But the three cents a day keep three cents a step keeps going
Well, you have to think back for this one when you're growing up easy to think that everything in your family
What did it was normal? So when you went to a friend's house
You have a sleepover. We just spend the day there. You were in for a bit of a shot because they did something differently
Here's a buzz are a bizarre list of house rules people experience at other people's homes growing up reusing bathwater
I know that one just
Unless you're the first one to use it. It's fine
If you're the eighth one to use it. Oh my god, why do you just take a dip in the cesspool
the back
phones being confiscated in the house
So now you walk in with your cell phone and it's confiscated a ban on chewing gum
And not crushing crackers on soup. None of that seems sounds bad except for the reusing of the bathwater
Yes, when I was a kid. I blend them. Louvin
We you know the kids stayed over each other's houses. Yeah, and we go down for breakfast and she makes pancakes
They taste funny. She uses sour milk. Oh to make the pancakes
And I didn't want to be a bad guest and I ate well there's a difference between sour milk and butter milk
This was she said sour milk. Okay, there's certain things in my life. I'll never forget Evelyn van louvin said sour milk
All right, I had to like this. I don't know if you go to bars or not at all but Miller high life is selling a merry highlight
It looks like a 3D neon bar light. It's two and a half feet tall
But it's infused with a stand of tobacco to bring the nostalgic smell of a dive bar into your home
Ha
You know mr. Denise he loves zima
And I used to write for the Milwaukee business journal and I used to cover the booze and beer beat
And he loved that about that job
And so he he thinks that he credits himself for bringing zima back because we got we did this beer dinner with the folks from Miller high life
or for Miller course
And so he told the story that he thinks that zima should be back on the shelves and eventually
He actually it actually did get resold a few for a few years
Okay, real Christmas trees people love real Christmas trees when you buy one make sure the guy at the lot shakes it
Or you might bring home a bunch of bugs into your home or this a carpet cleaner
Is that a client's house notice that there was a baby owl inside their Christmas tree
The homeowner was shocked since they had dogs and for three days neither the dogs or the people knew there was an owl in there
Well, he got the owl out took it out and released it into the
air
Then a family when this was in South Africa had a Christmas tree
And they brought it home and realized that snake was wrapped around the tree. Oh, no
And it didn't see it was it bought it
They got a snake guy to come in and get rid of it
That would make me artificial trees for the rest of my life
Okay, things going up in price
And people don't realize it and now they realize it's so expensive they don't buy them anymore concert tickets
They are really up in price they are
Fabric which I don't know about ride shares
streaming services
They're not expensive if you get one, but people getting four of them. You see that TV commercial for
For Max and they showed the guy he said we have to make some come back cutbacks because we have too many streaming services
So grandma has to go
I love it and the whole house is shocked
We have to we have to say goodbye to grandma
You know, it's funny in my in in the Lockwood Davis House hold the I don't watch TV
In fact, I I normally have to if I if my husband is is out
When I use the remote I have to call him to ask you
I'm turning this on this is shame
You know candy bars going up in price. That's true. I went to the gas age and bought my wife a snickers bar
It's like a dollar nine
Potato chips going up in price. I don't know about you, but I did call my bank for a line of credit the other day
I need a bag of lays potato chips
There were six dollars and 63 cents at the pigly wiggly last night
Yeah, I guess they are going up in price
All right, if you in this market you wouldn't take a home like this would be worth it probably worth more
But I guess you know, it's a little out of the way
Zello put Santa's house at the North Pole including the workshop valued over a million dollars now
Probably worth more than that, but you know, it's always location location location right
We want to go to the North Pole. It's gonna be expensive
I can there a few more minutes. I can't get some more of these stories here. I go share with you. Okay. Okay

Mama, thank you mama. I do appreciate it mama
Holiday burnout. It's a real thing
One out of three people get burned out on the holidays before Christmas even comes to fruition
Here the top cost is the shopping the crowds the long lines. I'm gonna add one here one more family
I'm picking my my little sister up today
My my granddaughter is turning one years old on Saturday
And so I'm having lots of family come to the house
So today is the day today is the day
All right holiday burnout coming to the lockwood resident. So tell you that
Two guys hit the lottery for five point three million dollars
But they won't see a penny of it because they bought it with a stolen debit card. Oh have they used their own two dollars
They wouldn't first of all be going to jail. They wouldn't got caught. I wouldn't have gotten caught
And they would have five point three million dollars
The risk versus reward
Conversation around
It is but it's just like okay, maybe they should teach a class of risk versus reward and criminality
Like what do you get out of this and what do you like what is the consequences, right?
Interested if they had bought it with their own two dollars. They wouldn't be in jail and they'd be millionaires today
Yeah, they were just stupid
A new survey found the most stressful things about the holiday shopping for gifts
Traveling or visiting family
Extra cooking receiving gifts now I that's stressful for me because I don't like getting gifts
I really don't because everything I want I buy myself and then I have to sit there to oh just what I want it
Thank you
And I know it's going to goodwill in three days
Dealing with crowds and long lines
Other shopping related stressors attending parties and social events family politics
Fitting an extra work especially if you work at a store and you know extra hours of Christmas time
Hosting family and friends that's your stressor right? Well, yeah, yeah, yeah picking up little sisters
New study monitored people as they drove in the car with two different things their kids or a cake
Which do you think they're more careful of the kids or the cake in the car
The cake 95% of people are more careful when they had a cake
These they're honest. Oh, you know quite a few new Paul the worst gifts you can give somebody
Shower jail popcorn
Socks a collection of lotions. Oh my husband would absolutely
He would have problems with that list because like his his his Nana used to give him
The whole family socks for Christmas and like when she passed away
They she's she's obviously stopped doing it. And so he misses those socks. Oh, and he he also used to get underwear
I'm gonna kind of know now. I asked my mother one year say what do you want to say that I want underwear for Christmas
I'm not getting you underwear
And I said, but that's what I want. I'm not getting you underwear
Yeah, you bought my underwear for me going whole life all of a sudden I want to do it. You won't buy it for me
Also on the list were a collection of lotions a coffee mug liquor
Tea a candle a photo calendar and coffee and people used to get candles a lot for people
You know, those went right to goodwill
Um, let's see a new survey of people who were goodwill has a right the week after Christmas goodwill must be loaded with stuff
I bet all these all these Christmas presents coming in
Okay, there's everybody else people who were planning to buy gifts this year and
Pets were almost the most popular ones to buy gifts for people always buy their dogs and cats gifts
I but I usually throw a little treat just you know
What I why I do it though is because I I want to keep a little Miss Daisy out of the way
So I want to occupy her. Yeah, right. So yeah, that's yeah, that's why yeah, yeah, yeah
57% of us is regifted something we didn't like 54% of snuck a peek at a present before Christmas and 42% have opened something in a store
and not purchased it
Last story the thing that got me into radio was the Remko caravale radio
1963 or 62 my parents had bought it to me for Christmas
Remko not ronco
Remko r-e-m-c-o
Remko made all the toys back in the 60s
and the Remko caravale radio is a transmitter and
You broadcast to a radio in the house, but I was a little smarter. I touched the wire the antenna wire to my phone
and it broadcast
To about three or four houses out if you kept your radio near the phone because all phone wires are connected
Yeah, yeah, so and then I got a better idea
I went into the garage and connected it to the main
Why are coming into the house from the phone company now the whole block heard me as long as their AM radio
was right near
The phone and that's how I got into radio that is an interesting story. That's how it all started
Love that then these thanks for coming in
Yeah, that was great. Yeah, I love having you here and I want you back
Okay, when next time you get a breaking story. I want you to have to you publish it on Racine County
I I want you to talk about it here on the radio. I would love that
Okay, Racine County i.com Racine County i.com for local news
Oh, that's great. All right, come it up next. We're going to talk movies with Brett Hoffman
That's straight ahead here at WRG and I'm Don Rosen 729 on your Friday morning
you
I'm
people around
It's 7 35 at WRJ and radio 1400 am 99.9 FM 98.1 FM
It looks like a beautiful sunny morning with a high today of 55 degrees 46 right now looks like a not a bad weekend
Some rain tonight, but becoming mostly sunny on Sunday with a high near 50
Sunday cloudy with a high near 36 and up in door county
I could tell you exactly what the weather's like. What is it like for it?
Well, it's going to be the high 40s today
So a little bit less of a temperature than what you have, but it's still great
Yeah, middle of December. Oh, I love door county beautiful place
I want to say the whole radio show from door county one of our people around
House up there and the convention for those constant broadcasters up there
So we took the morning show for two days up in door county
And I said we do this permanently. I mean, can I just live up?
Okay, Brett's here for Marcus theaters and we're going to find out what's opening and also a whole bunch of
holiday classic holiday movies playing at the theaters and I go every year to see these because
Singum on the big screens a whole different experience. So what's opening today Brett one film
Well, there's one film and it's the boy in the hair on it's an anime film and let me tell you this is a good one
It's written and directed by Hyo musaki now he is recognized as one of Japan's greatest animators and directors of
all time
Once thought that he was retiring, but he's coming back for at least this picture
And it's going to do phenomenal at the box office, which is something people don't normally see anime films doing that well
But this one's got a pedigree. It's got a great director and
if you
Love anime then you got to go out and see it and you probably know about this movie
If you haven't launched Japanese anime then this is one you should go out and see to see what it's all about because it's
Spectacular, it's about a young boy the yearning for his mother
He ventures into this world that has both the living and the dead and that
But as I mentioned this is
This is quintessential anime. This is something to see as an example of
What it can be like and it's gonna do very very well the box office anime fans
And hopefully get a few others interested in the genre as well. Yeah for Bill. They'll know it's anime
And it's it's a Japanese style of and you'd recognize it if you see it
It's the kids got the big white eyes
They all the characters tend to look alike a little bit the same characteristics
But the spirit of the way is the film I have by this director at home, and it's just it's a classic film
Okay, now you have speaking about classic
The theaters are showing classic holiday movies. I get to wonderful life on the big screen
And what you run over a list of some of the movies still playing through Christmas
Yeah, well this upcoming week this summer is through 14th
We have a myriad of pictures and and let's go through them because they're all great
The first one coming up this week polar express
This is from 2004. It was based on the Chris Osberg novel and
Rather to mechus directed this and when it first came out
I think people are a little skeptical about the animation because they use this live motion capture computer animation
And I think people are a little skeptical about how it looked
But this is this is a Christmas classic. This is something people look forward to every year
Tom Hanks of course. I was in it in a voice. That's polar express
By the way, Tom Hanks is placed five roles in this movie
He's five different characters and you believe every one of them. I love this movie
I just I think it's a fantastic movie and I saw it in theaters when it first came out. It's very good
All right, nothing very good the next one and they're all good by the way
This is a great list. This is a greatest hits Christmas list national ampune's Christmas vacation
We have that this week
I could watch this movie over and over and over again. It has so many classic moments and let me tell you
I think people can relate to this movie because
Everyone has crazy relatives
Everyone has been a position where they're trying to impress the relatives and their family
I can tell you how many times I've been outside trying to put lights up on the outside of a house and having
Not work. I mean, there is so many relatable moments in this movie and it goes on and on and on
So Chevy chase of course is great. Beverly and you look at the end was great
You got junior league drivers as the neighbor. I mean everything just came together with this movie national ampune's Christmas vacation
Well, what are you watching home? But it's better on the big screen with other people one of my mother's favorite movies
My favorite scene is when you can't get the lights to work on the house
Chevy chase goes into the garage and there's 15 plugs into one socket
And he says nothing looks everything okay here
Okay, what's next?
That's when it's an animated movie it's in 2012 rise of the guardians
It had Hugh Jackman and Alex Boyle and his voices
All of the guardians get together and they include Santa Claus Jack Frost the two fairy and they're basically trying to save the world from
From the evil pitch black character in the movie. This is a classic movie. It deals with a lot of different holidays
And people have really liked this one and that's what we brought it back. So rise the guardians in 2012
And then the next one we're going to delve into the classic movies here white Christmas from 1954
If people really go back and they look at kind of those real classic movies you brought up on which is it's a wonderful life
Which he played last week
I would say this one is probably number two on my list white Christmas from 1954
You know, it's great watching them because there are some in dance team. There's a lot of comedy in this one
There's romance in it
There's beautiful kind of scenery that they've kind of mocked up to look like for months
So white Christmas to me is probably my number two classic Christmas film and I just love watching been
Danny Kay and on screen together. So this one is a tremendous one
If you haven't got a chance to see this type of movie on screen you're really should go see it because it holds up spectacularly
What's next do you want? Yep. We got a couple more. Let's see
Everyone's going to recognize this one for Christmas and it's a Christmas story. Oh, yes
Gonna shoot your eye out
From 1983
Now jean shepherd was an amazing writer and man did he put together a script here that is amazing as well
And you know, we talked about national post Christmas vacation. I think jean really understood nostalgia
And he really understood the family
Because how relatable are these characters? You know, they love one another and everything comes together everything between the bullies at school
To again, you look at the father
Kind of thing there that the father and how many out you know plugs
He's got in the outlets and he's always trying to fix something. He's always got a scheme
So a Christmas story is one that I think people could watch over and over and over to watch the adventures of Ralphie and his family
and I
Like I said, I think this is another one that people can watch at home
But it's really neat to watch one of these movies in the big screen with everyone else around you
And just to watch you as a communal experience and here's something you don't know Ian Petrella
Ian Petrella who played Ralphie's brother in the film, you know with the coat that he fell down and couldn't get up
He was a guest in our studios here a couple of years ago
He he was in town for a showing of a Christmas story and he stopped by our studios. I had him on the air with me and
What a great great guy to talk to. I don't think he's done anything since but I mean it was great
All right, what's next on your list?
Well, we got three more and they're all they're all good
So like I said, these are all playing this weekend Marcus theaters love actually. It's rated our from 2003
There's some thousand lives of eight different couples that are dealing with their love lives in some various interrelated tales that go on in
London it stars Hugh Grant
It it stars a whole it's starting cure nightly. It starts a whole bunch of people in this one and
Take a look at this one. It is a movie for adults
But the way they interweave these stories is really amazing
So I would take a look at this as I mentioned Hugh Grant Lee and Lisa and a whole bunch of other characters in this movie
Go check out love actually if you haven't seen it, but it's definitely a classic from 2003
And then another one. It's become a classic and maybe up there in most people's top five baby top couple
Is a movie from 2003 and that's the course elf
We played this last week. We held it over by popular demand
John Favreau of directing Will Farrow who's starring as buddy the elf
This one has so many good classic moments in it and I really like the style of this movie
You know John Favreau kind of modeled it off of some of the scenes in the north pole off a roof
They're in his reindeer and you can really see that when you watch the film
But a great film visually and obviously just a great comedy with elf
So check that one out too that one's become a holiday tradition and another one
It's always great to laugh with an audience that enjoys the film together on the big screen
Let me tell you something that's really interesting my wife and I um
I think a year or so ago right before covid actually
We saw it's a wonderful life you played that first of all it's really interesting because
The movie is not it's not a wide screen movie at all because back in the 40s
It was almost like the square that you see on a TV
That's the way they made him and that's the way you showed it
And that's the way you have to do it because if you make it wide screen
You got to cut off the top of the bottom
But you guys didn't do that you showed it just and the aspect ratio was supposed to be shown
And we noticed stuff we never noticed when we watch it on TV for example
Uncle Billy
When he's all distressed about the missing money and a bird lands on remember his pet bird lands on his shoulder
He's all distressed
What I never saw before there was a dog on the floor he actually had a dog
And my wife and I said we never noticed that dog before
But when you see it on a big screen you start noticing all the nuances in the in the frame
That you never saw before
And I when I said I never knew there was a dog in that scene
Uncle Billy owned a dog and that's how we saw it
But yeah, it's a whole different experience when you watch it with an audience and you watch it on a giant screen like a movie theater screen
And I'm so glad you bring those pictures back and my mother we you ran
Christmas store and a christian or a national influence
Christmas occasions several years ago
And my mother wanted to see it on the big screen
She had the DVD but she wanted to see it in the movie theater and we brought her into see it and
You also brought some other films back over the years the sound of music with the roadshow
It's a complete intermission and everything which was great to see some of these old films back on the big screen again
And during COVID when new films weren't being released
You actually brought back some real classics and
People love seeing those films. I mean
It's it's one thing to see them on your tv set and you're living room and you're underwear
But it's nothing to get dressed up and go out to a movie theater
Go see it with with an audience
My my favorite revival you did was back to the future too
And you brought it back on the date that was in the newspaper on USA today
That Martin McFly
Reads in the movie do you remember that it would I forget the date
But USA today he picks up a copy of USA today to find out his kid was arrested
And he goes back to that date and that was the date you showed it in the theater
It was so crowded that they had
Moving into another theater as well and show it there as well
Because everybody wanted to be there on that date to watch back to the future too
And what made it really good was
USA today put out of the edition of their newspaper with the exact cover
You saw it and back to the future too
Now the people who didn't ever saw that movie didn't know what USA today was doing
But they put out that cover on that date. So
And that day was that cover 21st
2015 that's when you showed it
And and we still would have flying cars but go figure
And here's the thing
USA today didn't put the cover out until the next day because remember Marty McFly gets it and he has to go back 24 hours to fix the problem
So USA today was smart. They put out the paper the next day not the date you see in the film
Because that's the date Marty McFly actually got the paper to find that his kid was arrested and he go back another day
So you had to think you had to think about that and you got me something once too a bottle of Pepsi perfect
Remember that that's right. That's right from that movie
Yeah, and you got it and I gave it to my son and he's got he's a big back to the future fan
And he's got it displayed in his house
Pepsi Pepsi perfect which we still don't have today

Hi, Donna. How are you? Good. So we came off the Taylor Swift whole thing at the Lambo field
I saw some of the footage of her walking through the tunnels at Lambo field with an entourage
The one thing I didn't realize how tall she is
She is tall
And then just a couple days later time magazine named her
Person of the year which is actually a really interesting article if you get to to read it
I mean, you know she sold over four million tickets
She's so popular right now that they had to have congressional hearings with ticket master and live nation and ticket broker
Because the congress wants to know, you know, what was what shady deals were going on there
But yeah, so you know, it's a big game. She's dating Travis Kelsey the outstanding tight end for the Kansas City chiefs
Some people complaining like, you know, she's getting too much publicity or they talk about her too much during the games
And whatever in the in the meantime, you know, she's just named person of the year for a reason
And by the way, she's also named Forbes most powerful woman in America
Yeah, and uh, and what it wasn't she named after James Taylor didn't her parents name were after that. Yeah
Yeah, they did they did that that's what she got to name Taylor
So here's the thing some of my friends, you know local media people thought well, we got to get a picture of her right?
So uh
It turns out they were bringing her down on the loading dock and one of my friends
Cassidy was shooting video and she was in the perfect spot in the loading dock area
Uh, and just about a minute or two before you got the sense that they run open the doors and she and her friends were coming through
Some security guy grabbed Cassidy said no, no, you got to be back here behind this line
Okay, so she picks up her tripod. She turns there's a picture of Cassidy from one of the TV stations
Where she's trying to hustle and reset up and there goes Taylor Swift walking behind her
And that's that that's how we got the pictures and then she turned around she was already gone
So she didn't get any pictures
So what's happening with the what let's talk about the bowl games for a second here the rose bowl set
The um, what's the other bowl that's set to I heard a couple of them were set already
What do you have the back? I haven't found that much. I know that the badgers are set and then one that used to be the outback bowl and
Tampa and I believe that's on
On New Year's Day like a new starter. So now you don't I don't know if you remember this
I don't know if you're here at the station at the time, but one time I decided to get some bowl games on the air
And I got all 33 bowl games on WRJN now some had to be re you know taped and replayed later on and we were doing that
And I don't know what got a hold of me. I got 33 contracts a lot of them who are mom and pop operations
That's a lot of work and yeah, I just got carried away with it and we got every single bowl game on WRJN
That's got to be a record. I don't think any other way did you have to come in and I help engineer that
No, okay, here's the next satellite we got to hook up to
I laid out a complete list of where the satellite changes had to be and hooked up to do to record these things on real to real
I had to sit we had to say we did some on VHS tapes some on real to real at the same time
And we were running them till sometimes five o'clock in the morning
But in the morning show stuff
But I just wanted to get all 33 on the air and I did it and you had to talk to some real
Makeshift networks carrying some of these bowl games, but we did it
All right, so I bet you there was one guy there on a scotch that went through every one of those bowl games
With the big bowl of popcorn
Well, it started we got the badgers because at that time you couldn't get them because WTMJ had the badgers
But I got it but I got that game and then I worked into other bowl games and
Got every single one of them and I'll never do that again in our life
They are popular. They are popular. That's why they have them. So what are we coming up this weekend?
Well tomorrow it's going to be the badgers basketball team that is actually kind of on a roll
It was a big upset when they beat
Marquette. There was ranked number third in the nation
They dropped eight and that win helped the
Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball team get up to the 23rd rank not tomorrow
They will really find out good there because they have to take on the number one ranked team Arizona
Out in Tucson. That's again to tips off at about two 15 tomorrow
By the way the women's volleyball team up in Madison and UW-Madison
They won their game last night and so they go to the next level
To in the NCAA national tournament for volleyball teams. They've had a really good year
They've only lost like one or two matches so far
But then we got Monday night football with the Packers on the road against the Giants the Giants
We're off to a really horrible start and their quarterback was averaged to begin with got hurt Tyrod Taylor
An NFL journeyman he had a hip injury. So they brought in a kid named
Tommy DeVito from New Jersey
Who is out to reviewing Italian food the other day
And he's their new quarterback and they've named him the starters
They've actually won their last three games in a row
So the Packers are going to face a team that's excited to see if they can you know get a little
Respect back for the Giants the Giants
Don are the team that the Packers played last year when they went to London
And they were really tough last year they ended up getting into the playoffs
And Aaron Rodgers fractured his thumb toward the end of the game
They had a five game losing streak after that, but there was one play where Rodgers
Came to the line they were they needed a touchdown there about about the five yard line
And he pinched his shoulder and then he tried to throw it to the right and Alan was hard
You know the the the bass was blocked
So Lazar didn't have a chance to catch it
And Mark Sanchez the former quarterback was doing those the analysis on the broadcast
He backed it up and said look at this and he made a big red circle says you see Rodgers pension is his Jersey
That's the signal but the play is going right
So you see that you know the Giants have got that figured out
Spiders and spiders and spiders
Wink Martin Dale his real name is Don, but he's named after that you know the
He's all the game shows yeah, he's a pretty smart guy pretty smart guy now. Here's the other thing
I told Alan Lazar the wide receiver when they got back from London
I said
Did you know that they talked about that on TV that that's the signal and it's jaw drops. So a month goes by
Then they were again they were they had a life five game losing streak
But they were close where they could have scored another touchdown
I think it was against the Lions and Rodgers backs up and throws a ball to an empty space in the in the left part of the endzone
and he's like
Sammy Watkins was standing there in the back of the endzone in the middle and then realized oh he ran the wrong route
So a few days later somebody asked him yeah, what happened that play because you know Rodgers threw it to open space
He goes I missed the signal man and he pinched his shoulder
So even though I tried to tell Lazar these teams know that that's your signal that the plays go into the left or who go into the right
He they did it again. I was like
Well, this is why you know they ended up having a five game losing streak I think
Mike Clemmons you can hear him with sports throughout the day on WRJ and radio and a lot of the other civic media stations as well
He's here every Friday morning. He's a good friend. I like Mike like Mike
And I went to have a great weekend my friend and so the Packers are playing Monday night this week against the
I know it says New York giant really the New Jersey giant. Let's call it what it is, okay
Yeah, this is they're in the metal land
There's only one New York team the Buffalo Bills
That's it. That's the only team in New York the Buffaloville
Hey, thank you a lot Mike and they have a great weekend my friend will be listening for you right here in WRJ
