Host

Mr. Bicycle you've arrived.

Co-Host

Yes.

I'm ready.

Here we go.

Happy Friday.

Happy Friday.

Goodbye coffee.

Goodbye coffee.

Host

Hello beer.

How you been?

Co-Host

I've been good, you know, of course Busy busy week and coming in and I get in this morning and the coolers on the fritz.

Host

Ooh So which one I mean is it a big one?

Co-Host

It's a big one.

It's not the end of the world.

I just have to fix it, you know

Always something

Host

in the world.

Yeah, man.

It's the worst.

How do you like this?

We get the yeah, we got a little ice.

You know what

Co-Host

you put ice in your beer.

They call that a Polish cocktail.

Host

Cheers.

I know a lot of people that do that.

Co-Host

Oh, yeah.

Host

My good

Co-Host

friend, Terry Cassidy, he passed away a few years ago and we do a golf outing for him every year while I share a country club.

Okay.

And and his drink was

the Milwaukee cocktail, which was a Miller Lite and a plastic cup full of ice.

Nice.

Host

That's not bad.

Yeah.

I can see that at summer fest.

It's

Co-Host

good on

Host

a hot day.

You know, do you ever put ice in beer?

I mean, we just did a little sliver.

Co-Host

No,

Host

I

Co-Host

don't.

Host

I don't either.

Yeah.

I know a lot of people that do that.

Yeah.

Do you mix your.

So let's say you have an old fashioned.

Co-Host

Yeah.

Host

And I'm going to guess no on this because you don't put ice and beer.

But I know a lot of people that'll have an old fashioned or mixed drink or a martini on the rocks.

And when they're done, they'll just take their beer and they'll dump it in and they'll drink it right out of that.

Really?

Yeah.

Wow.

No, I don't do that.

I got a few friends.

I got weird friends apparently.

Co-Host

We're all a

Host

little crazy.

Yeah, but that's just just

Co-Host

different degrees and yes

Host

different perspectives like a fresh ice, you know, yeah frosty mug.

Co-Host

Yes.

I'm with you

Host

was you don't think any of the storms.

We didn't have any power surges.

No, no, no, no,

Co-Host

no.

Host

All good.

Just

Co-Host

happen, you know, it's just that gosh darn humidity's rolling in and and

when those coolers, you get a little bit of ice on the condenser and then it freezes up and then you got an ice problem and then it doesn't drain and then you got a-

Host

Big problem.

Big problem.

Is it under warranty?

No, it's not under warranty.

Oh, I wasn't gonna ask.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Just passed, right?

Yeah, yeah.

That's why you're having one.

Yeah.

You know, that's what we signed up for though, right?

If it was easy, everybody would do it.

We're having issues with one of the station main automation computers and

Never ends.

Co-Host

So you were talking before we got on here about Song selections for your radio stations.

Host

Yeah,

Co-Host

and I it's cool to see that you're so particular about it.

How do you?

How

Host

do you do that?

Well, like right here, Brad from The Wave gave me a list and I just go through and most of this is kind of 90s stuff and we're trying to do a little more contemporary 90s, a little softer.

So I just go through and pick and choose and then I hand him the list and then he goes to town on his program.

Co-Host

Speaking of 90s, this is kind of off topic, but have you seen the song or the movie Song, Song, Blue?

The Neil Diamond one.

Yeah, I have not yet.

Okay.

That's what I want to so so you were talking about the 90s so I Don't know if you the the movie is about this this Milwaukee couple that did Neil Diamond covers and that's it's not really a Neil Diamond biographer It's about this couple that lived in Milwaukee and they would play at summer fest and really yeah, it was awesome great movie I'd recommend it to anybody but They performed and this is a true story they performed

They opened for Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam.

I think at the rave.

They didn't say in the movie, but it looked like it was probably the rave and Eddie Vedder came on and did a song with them, which is just funny because they're singing Neil Diamond

Host

stuff and then Eddie Vedder.

Co-Host

That's good

Host

stuff.

That would be a cool thing to see how long is it.

Co-Host

It's I don't know a couple hours.

It's not too

Host

bad.

Yeah more of a documentary or no, it's like yeah,

Co-Host

it's got Kate Hudson from almost famous and Hugh Jackman from You know, he's in a Wolverine and then

Host

what year did that come out?

I don't ever just this year.

I think yeah, it's

Co-Host

on

Host

Netflix.

Co-Host

Nice.

Yeah

Host

And I know

Co-Host

you're a big Neil Diamond fan.

Host

I love Neil.

Yeah me

Co-Host

too,

Host

but yeah, I've not

I heard about that one.

Yeah, it's good song song blue.

I don't watch a lot.

Co-Host

I don't watch a lot of movies either.

But my my wife's parents recommended this one.

Host

So

Co-Host

OK, very

Host

Co-Host

the Village Green.

They started seven, which is they're a great band.

Host

how have the crowds been?

It was wild.

Um, so I drove past probably eight, 39 o'clock and it was packed for cherry pie.

So it was great.

Host

And, uh, ripping fest was last week and I know Brad and Brooklyn went down to that.

They said it was a big turn off.

Co-Host

You

Co-Host

got to do it.

So, so they had this one.

ferris wheel motion but you're not spinning so I thought maybe that would be better

Well, Charlotte, Charlie, she, she did not say one word the entire time until when's

Co-Host

gonna end, you know?

And then I got off that thing and it was so hot in there and like, you know, I'm six, five, not built for a ride like that.
