Todd has our current temperatures and it's in the 50s.
I know.
Wasn't that great this morning?
October, Todd.
Probably that long ago, I would
52.
Beautiful.
Yeah.
Nice Southwest wind out there.
8 to 10.
Thank you.
Thank you.
It was a good weekend.
Wow, the golf tournament.
Wasn't that fun?
That was fun.
Well, yes or no.
It was fun.
Well, for those of us who just watched it for what golf is supposed to be, as Todd said earlier, when we were talking relaxing and just, you know, the beauty of the beauty of Augusta.
Right.
I thought Jim Nance was really overdoing it for a while yesterday.
A little bit on that, didn't you?
Yeah, I did.
Rory thing, so
like, and his father on the head, one token left, but young Rory wanted to hit some more golf balls.
It's like, you know, he wouldn't...
hadn't won yet, don't blow it for us, Gene.
You know, that's not right, Todd, yes.
And sometimes you just...
Better off just letting it happen.
it go.
He just felt like he had to fill in the time.
I agree.
I thought there was, he overdid it a little bit, but.
Mom and dad sitting back in Northern Ireland at the little pub where Rory washed dishes and his mom checked out
golfers.
The most humble beginning ever.
And now on the precipice of winning the green jacket.
We used to let a lot of wind go.
And what, 11 years?
It was 11 or 12?
Because he was going for the grants.
What was it?
It's good for the lifetime grants.
Yeah, but I mean When did he had three?
I thought 2015 or 2015 I thought
this okay, so that he's been chasing that Yeah,
I thought somebody said this was the 11th shot at trying to get the fourth one.
Yeah, okay
I mean, there was a lot of you obviously a lot of emotion built up.
Oh, you know what?
I kind of talked about this a little bit with the Duke game But you just got to give these guys who don't win this unbelievable credit.
question, man Just that guy from Ireland and you know when Justin Rose
so just Great just awesome like yeah, I was that was something man.
It was you know, you don't remind me of that when we're talking about Rory coming up the
that one fair were there, and now the pride of, you know, and growing up so humble.
His parents had to be saying, oh, he was still in the golf club.
We were still in the country club.
Really?
He's skied.
Come on.
He put soccer.
He's skiing.
We had a boat.
And they make it sound like, you know, these peasant people living hand to begging alongside the fairway as a traveler.
Can you smell what's a bubble?
It's like, come on.
Saturday night lives get back to the days of Garrett Morris.
What is the thing?
It was like a throwback on the little kid, Babe Ruth, to hit a home run for him.
You know, his little kid is like.
Kids listening, I'm gonna hit two for your son.
Come on, baby.
I'll tell you what, baby said he was getting one for this little sick kid.
Actually, oh boy, he's beyond sick.
Hope the kid's still with us.
Why?
This kid's gonna be dead any minute now.
I'm dying.
That's what that reminds me of.
It's like, shut up.
You really saw that kid in the dusty streets.
They knew.
Yes.
But anyway.
Yeah.
So, okay, gotta bring this up.
Okay, so about three months ago the biggest story in golf was Rory filing for a divorce against his wife and the big rumors were he and the main yada yada We're yada yada, you know the get the person that does all the interviews afterwards Okay, her yeah, but they had hooked up.
Okay, and we're divorced was divorcing his wife.
Okay, then all of a sudden backtracked in that And then she was
Tall, picturesque blonde with the big hat, his beautiful little girl and the whole thing.
And I didn't see that.
Did that woman then interview Rory?
I know she interviewed DeChambeau and Justin Rose.
Did she interview Rory?
Because I was going to say, you got mama standing there and you got the other one standing there.
That's got it.
Wow.
That's got to be a little bit of an awkward.
You know what that reminds you of?
You don't remind me of?
The Chilean minors.
Yeah, but what a day what an amazing go I'll tell you what man
Major golf is almost like must watch and what a button and you know, they usually a perfect that was perfect perfect weather man It was yeah,
just he just gonna make you
to go I will say this I can't even because there was one time where I mean the intestinal toughness fortitude of these athletes and I'm talking about all these high-level athletes not just golfers Rory
Could have Rory was so close.
He was this far away to being considered the biggest choker possibly in the history of the game He could either do one of two things be immortal Or be the biggest choker ever and it came down to the right Isn't that crazy all that work all that whatever and you make this putt or you miss that putt and that's boom That's it.
That's how you're identified the rest of your life But for him to hit some horrible shots and then
To come back with a couple of the most beautiful shots under pressure I've personally ever seen a man when Justin rose on the playoff hole when he hit that one I don't know six feet seven feet, but it's a
over
two feet and then Rory does that Unbelievable yeah, so
some money made some money at the casino that's never been on golf before
would say this I would recommend it.
It's a lot of fun
I don't want if you enjoyed the game as much as I did.
At
I did.
Halfway through I was right.
Until that putt went in, I don't know if it's enjoyment.
I'm not sure what it is.
It's like watching your kids perform.
It's like you're enjoying it, but your heart's in your throat.
Yeah.
See that's why I, with football, and I told you that there's some games where I really don't care, but if I bet on them,
goodness gracious.
Yeah.
Yeah, so got some good morning sir.
Good morning says Vicky.

Really?
just, I just, I do want to say though, my...
Brother's birthday is May 3rd and it snowed one time and it was I believe that it did.
Yeah, because I remember we're good get together.
It's like, you know, well in the U.P.
I've been seeing all these spring sport things.
Oh, did you just make national news again?
No,
think there's some bad weather up there in the U.P.
What?
Yeah.
I mean, it's I was watching kids trying to run track and they had one lane.
They'd like taken a snowball or something around one lane.
You see that?
I saw that.
It just, ugh.
100 years old, but we used to have those old cinder tracks, which is just mud.
It's just black mud when the weather was like this.
So we ran for track.
We ran on the roads up until like the first meet.
That was like the first time we ever lied on the track.
Guys, thank you.
Morning, boys.
Yes, sir.
Pro bowling finals were a 20 and 22 year old bowling for $100,000 top prize.
A 20 year old pulled it off.
What were you making at 20 years old?
Mino and Jim.
Tori.
Yeah.
Wow.
You know, that is bowling needs that.
You know, because bowling is great and they need a Tiger Woods.
They need something.
You know what I mean?
They need
But a 20-year-old making 100 grand, gotta get some people on the lanes.
You know, I was talking with somebody about this a couple of weeks ago, whatever, about sports we used to, you know, back in our day.
I think it was Burke.
No.
What are the old sports kids?
But anyway, talking about sports, they don't really get covered.
Like, when I was first in this business...
You know the thing the ongoing thing for sports was if it's dead it leads in regards to a dead fish dead deer dead pheasant And you know what I mean?
It's like that was so big like the Al Samson days outdoor stories were huge You don't see those much anymore.
No another story.
We did numerous stories on bowling We did numerous bowling sir bowling was so big around here.
Well, sure.
Didn't didn't wasn't there a show?
Yeah, Saturday mornings.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah, live bowling.
It just, what happened to bowling?
Of all the sports, it seems like that one kind of slid the furthest.
He became a little bit of a, like a joke.
You know, like, you know, some of the all time great movies are about bowling.
Big Lebowski, Kingpin.
Todd, am I wrong?
No, you're right.
Yeah.
But wouldn't you agree even your younger days taught like in your little town with the bowling alley would have been like almost a hub of the Rooties and two rivers.
Oh, we did even the community house at bowling and we were in leagues when we were Yeah, what happened to bowling?
I used to take my daughter a Lindsay out to bumper bowling.
Yeah on Saturday mornings at Riverside lanes But here's what I'm saying is then you got that was sixth grade, but you think
I don't know high school.
Was it not taken as a serious track?
You know what I mean?
Like you get then you got into basketball and all these other
are some high school teams.
There are high school bowling teams in the state We didn't really yeah, there are just Preble have one.
has what 81 right?
Yeah,
talked about that one time enough kids to fill one.
I would think oh, yeah Yeah, I don't know what schools out there have high school bowling That would help a lot.
No question
No question.
Yep.
Yep.
William says I still have cinder pieces under my knees skin after falling in a hundred yard dash in 1970.
William, I'm right with you, my brother.
Those cinder tracks were nasty when you went down on them.
Brian says there are a few teams around here, high school bowling teams.
There are, okay.
But think about how many more lanes there were, even like, you know, the mid 80s around here.
There
lot more.
Don't know why bowling for some reason seems to have there were a lot.
I don't know about that.
You don't think so No, I think there's a we still have a lot of bowling lanes here.
I don't think compared to the way we used to All right, someone knows more than we do about that.
Okay, well Riverside lanes for sure, but what they built out and why Schwabin it's always been awesome a
lanes I'm talking about those ones like it and Howard swamaco didn't they build like what is that?
Okay,
that there's that other little one in in deep here heading out on pp off the right hand side Is that the starlight or something like that at one time?
But a lot of those little ones just seem to have been closed Yeah, no, no, why I mean we used to man we used to cover those stories a lot But those are the main stories that seem to have dropped off a little bit
Yeah,
300 game was rolled by yep,
absolutely fact that they're up to a hundred thousand
making it that's given some headway, but You know that's interesting to see why that you make a good point that just hasn't right
Conon
such a fun thing when you're a teenager What's more fun than going bowling?
That was my favorite thing about coming to Green Bay for the Packer X of Michigan.
Yeah, we're all at devroys bowling alley out on Philip.
That was awesome.
I Was glad to read that the two winners were 22 and 20 versus I agree
I agree.
68.
He's young kid.
Don't know what the hell they're doing out there.
What the hell you know?
You don't went
over the line
there.
Don't you know?
Go give me that there.
I got this one.
Century Lane's Kegler's Club Red Carpet.
Yeah, that's right.
That's the one I was trying to think of.
Red Carpet.
Manhattan Lane's.
So many went under.
Todd from Depear.
But why Todd?
Why did they go under?
Just that generation maybe of I remember my dad when he was working, you know in the mind He'd be like afternoon shift They would have the leagues in them depending what shift you were odd You could go like nine in the morning and bowl, you know for your scores than the rest of the guys would bowl that night or whatever I mean, it was serious bowling was like taking really serious back then, you know, maybe it's not an easy sport to spectate I guess, you know when you
Football, basketball, wrestling.
I agree.
You can... I always got those kind of fun though.
On Saturday mornings, there's nothing else on.
You're watching that?
Well, no, no.
I mean, on TV, I was talking about live.
You know, it's not like there's bleachers or anything to watch bowling.
I don't know if that's it.
I don't know.
Hard to believe in my first TV job, I got into it so bad with the PBA at one of their things, we almost got like into it, into it.
me wondering.
I was a bad young man.
Here in Green Bay though, we have huge bowling tournaments.
Huge.
Phenomenal.

goals.
Here we are.

WGBW and WISS News.
I'm Lisa Hale.
United Auto Workers Local 291 has been on strike at Cummins Oshkosh for almost four weeks.
Saturday a rally was held across the street from Cummins at the Union headquarters to show solidarity.
One speaker was Joe Priceler representing UAW Region 4.
Nobody wants to strike.
I don't want to strike.
Nobody does.
Cummins put us here.
Striking is not a career.
Fair is fair because
it's
corporate America taking advantage of people.
We're not going to stand for it, are we?
No!
UAW Local 291 President Ryan Compton said the rally is to let striking workers know they're not alone.
It's just not the 291 members that know what's going on.
It's other locals.
It's news outlets.
people, you know, we got people from Madison, Milwaukee, Jaysville, Racine, Green Bay here.
So that's what it's about is is to make sure that the guys that are on strike know that other people are still thinking about them and they didn't forget about them.
Compton said workers are striking because their contract expired January 29th.
Cummins has been slow coming to the table to negotiate.
Talks are scheduled for April 22nd through the 24th.
Air Wisconsin announces even more layoffs.
Back in January, the Appleton based company announced layoffs for more than 500 workers in Appleton and Milwaukee.
Last week, the company added another 128 positions to that list of reductions.
The layoffs will be temporary for unionized employees, but permanent for salaried employees and management.
Temporary furloughs start this month.
Most layoffs will happen on June 1st.
I'm Lisa Hale for WGBW and WISS News.
For news anytime, visit civicmedia.us.
Hey, thank you very much.
Welcome back.
Beautiful Monday morning out there here at 97.9 FM WGBW in downtown Green Bay, where it is 52 degrees.
W or excuse me ninety six point five FMW ISS in Appleton and Oshkosh where it is also fifty two degrees fifty two across the board forecast cloudy and windy with some showers high in the mid fifties.
All right we can take that is Brittany there.
I
am
good morning Brittany.
How are you.
Good.
How are you guys.
How was your weekend
phenomenal.
I got to read some things here first.
Can you just give me one second Brittany.
We've been doing a big thing.
Why bowling isn't in the limelight anymore?
We got this.
But, sir, how do you keep scoring bowling?
Nobody knows.
OK.
Scotty.
they're as expensive as bleep to maintain.
Chris says, good morning, gentlemen.
Got another one here.
Malley's Spare Time Bar in downtown Greenleaf has an association value, an old school four-lane bowling alley.
paper and pencil scouring and manual pin setters, a major step back in time.
That sounds like fun.
The math on doing that?
I don't know how to do that.
you know how to do that?
I could
figure out scouring.
Todd?
A little bit.
Automated.
But that was nice when they went to the revolution.
That was good.
Hey, Brittany, I was up in your neck of the woods.
There's a lot of snow on.
You
saw the snow banks everywhere.
Yeah,
no I've been on granite peak.
I was just surprised how much snow is still on there.
Oh, I know well they they're able to make it and maintain it and they've been trying to keep it there because they were open up until gosh the first week of April and they had events going on they even had like a cardboard sled race
People dressed up crazy trying to ski across the lake.
It was it was pretty cool They do some fun stuff But it is nice to have the snow there because it's always there early in the season and it stays late into the season So if you need that itch of snow, it's here.
All right.
Look good.
I think this is for you.
Let's get this show out of the gutter
No, I think that was that.
That's
Brian.
They
little skewed.
That was funny
So Brittany, I know we've been bothering you about this for about the last month or so.
So like the old say the cliche says, you are now on the clock.
But she, I just want to say Brittany, it was, you're right.
It was about a month ago.
We said, you know, give us a long range and you're going to be very active.
very close to what you said about the draft, which starts a week from Wednesday, really.
I guess a week from Monday is when they're expecting people to start coming in, so.
Okay, so whole week long thing.
Monday through Sunday, that's the whole draft field.
Saturday,
Sunday, yeah.
There's concerts Saturday night, so, yeah.
Really, I guess,
yeah.
So,
what do you want to
talk about this week or next week?
Because we want to hear about both.
Okay, let's start with this week because then I'll just roll into next week.
So kind of what we have going on here is a low pressure system up in towards Lake Superior and it's a strong one.
So those winds are going to be gusting today up to about 40 miles per hour.
Yeah, and it's we're still gonna hit 60 so like in those mid 50s to low 60s today and then the cold falls and after that So what's gonna happen is we're gonna have some little light rain start around midnight and a little bit of light snow overnight So we could be waking up to a trace on the ground tomorrow morning, but it'll melt very very fast
She wasn't listening to what
jumped the gun.
She was not listening to us this morning We called it no snow from here on out
OK, it's over.
It's over.
It's over.
Is that count?
That just that was a kick in the gut.
I'm
OK.
Wow.
OK.
We're going to look
we don't know what we're talking
about.
Yeah, that
would be a first.
It's
gonna be
all
right.
We're taking to the bank show.
Okay.
Jim
said that my hometown area in the UP was in the national news again for their
horrific weather.
Yep.
Yeah, just we're going to get hit again.
They're going to get another six inches tonight.
Overnight, tonight, your morning.
U.P.
just never ends.
It doesn't
end.
You can't even be mad about the flurries tomorrow
morning.
Flurries doesn't count.
And then next week, Brittany, what do you think?
All right.
So it looks like a pretty big system wants to hit on Monday.
So what that means is right now all rain on Monday.
Good, again, flip to maybe a few flurries Tuesday mornings, kind of a recap of this week.
We're talking next Monday
here,
right?
Right, but we're talking next Monday.
Clean streets, you know, make it look good.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, good.
I like that.
All right, so we're going to be in the upper 40s, it looks like, to start the week out.
We fall to the low 40s on Tuesday because we're going to get blasted with the colder air behind it.
Wednesday, I can't really tell if it's going to be cloudy or sunny just yet, but it looks like we're hanging out in those mid 40s, Wednesday and Thursday.
Pretty dry.
Then as we go into Friday and Saturday, the sunshine comes back out.
We go to the low fifties on Friday.
It looks like the low sixties on Saturday.
And then Sunday, sunshine, 70 degrees.
Okay.
Does that sound nice?
walk outside on Sunday morning.
Wow.
Yes.
Wow.
Awesome.
Yes.
So
hopefully it stays this way.
Now you got to understand things can change still, even though it's just two away.
Um, but it really looks good Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
So a really wet kind of cold start to the week and then we warm up and clean up stuff.
That is great.
Big event is in the ball on Saturday, right?
I think so, right?
Yeah.
We'll talk more there and pop
keep the Packers
coming
minutes.
Talk about
one of those things though, too, Brittany.
I mean, okay, look, I actually think about this at times because every sometimes I'll be at Home Depot or someplace.
Hey, I know who do you think they're going to drive?
You know, things like that, which is I've dealt with that all my life, which is fine, you know, but for yourself, do you ever get that if you're in like a store and it wasn't supposed to rain?
And it's like, I mean, do you
get that if you're
recognized.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, and if there's going to be a big major snowstorm, like, let's just say something happens in April, I cannot go out grocery shopping or anything because they'll be like, what the heck, Brittany, it's your fault.
It does happen.
Or they'll be like, I saw Brittany kind of.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Would stop and you know at Gwasker especially to their kids.
Well, there's the weather lady Gwasker, so

We're in Lake Michigan.
I was just wondering how you got there through the kayak in the back of my Jeep.
Yeah, okay, never mind.
I totally got that.
Where do you put your kayak in?
Oh, anywhere.
But my favorite river in the entire state is the Brewer River.
So that's kind of like up north off of Lake Superior.
They've got little rapids in there and families go from canoeing to kayaking.
It is just an amazing river.
I
have fished the Brule River.
You have.
Yes.
People love to do that.
And there's
some great tributaries that come off of it.
But you got a little bit of everything on that river.
It could be big and wide and slow.
And then it can get kind of fast.
And that's what they like.
Oh, yeah.
You got to know what you're doing on the Brule.
You do.
You do.
You have to go to the right section for the right, you know, how you do that water because
are you up around the town of poplar or which area do you do the rule?
Yeah, I actually used to live over there into the poplar area.
So that's where I would go.
Yep.
Highway two.
That is a beautiful.
I
love that
area.
That is almost a hidden place of the Midwest.
I think
it really is.
Yeah.
Put your kayak in there.
I promise you'll have a great time.
That's cool.
You know, um,
But we're talking this weekend because we kind of saw the state, you know, we'd we're not like for a couple days and we had drive the Minneapolis for Minnesota for a wedding This state is just so on Underdeveloped.
Yeah, I mean just it's a beautiful state.
I just haven't driven in a long time and I like to drive but it's just there's just a lot a lot of just Beauty out there that and I'm sure there's places that Brittany's been to and and Christian with the fishing I just I don't know.
We just got us
72 counties, and my parents always, you know, they went to every county and of course my mother always said, I told you this before that, you know, that's 72 counties, that's why there's 72 books in the Bible.
I
that too.
Well, it was always her analogy that, but.
I mean, really, you don't really need to go too far.
No, you don't.
you doing one of those shows.
Right.
Just don't.
Exactly.
You nobody.
Maybe nobody else knows too much about pop work.
Nobody knows.
Right.
I
think you'd be awesome at going around and doing one of those shows.
Don't you?
Yeah.
It
would be so fun.
I would have too much fun doing that.
Why
market sleeping should do a little activity.
The market research would show John with a bottle of Merlot.
We definitely have to do some pre-work on that.
And now it's
a
sponsor.
Brittany, I meant if you are, I think that'd be fun.
And it would
be so much fun.
That'd be a
blast.
interesting that John McGivin, but he's really in the city, he doesn't really do the nature, nature part of it, right?
I mean, he does a great, great job.
I love watching his show, but yeah, there's just so much natural resources.
things that, I mean, don't do your too risky skydiving stuff.
Just do stuff like if John can do it, anybody
know, no, that's what I'm saying.
It could be.
I'd rather take a nail to my eye than like go parasailing
those
kind of things.
But that would be the fun part of it.
It's like, wait, I can do this.
I'd be screaming.
All right, Brittany.
I got to be honest.

Okay, somebody's trying to help us with this score.
that's why I go to automatic.
That's why I love that when it does it for you.
Get this.
So this is where you have to bring out, you know, the slide rule.
A spares worth 10 plus your next ball.
A striker's worth 10 plus your next.
two balls.
Right.
And if you don't get a spare.
then it's just the regular.
if you get, all right, so if you, it's amazing, I've never learned how to score.
It only gets tricky
When you were a kid though, they didn't have automatic
you know, there'd be like
person.

Anyway, all right, we we have to get your order to do we're gonna get Somebody from like the youth bowling league or from the on here to talk about what and maybe bowling's
know you guys we could be way off base too.
Maybe bowling's bigger than we think it is Well, it's just not covered in them
That's a good point and maybe we
need to do a better job of Talking about it because maybe it's just not covered.
It could be they could say your bowling is never
been more popular than it is now.
We don't know that.

history of the entire sport.
You

he's think of all the other.
Yeah.
Well, anyway, I'm interested to see if I think someone texted in
if this is a high school activity, because I think that would.
It is.
I don't know how many schools,
it's kind of cool about it though, because I've watched it.
It's been televised at times.
You know what the kids do?
You know, okay, in like normal, you know, somebody at bowl and everybody else sits quietly or whatever, right?
Then that guy's done and then the next guy gets up.
These kids have to stand in a line, both sides, face with the ball, your ball in your hands.
And as soon as that person on your team is done, boy, you jump right up.
And you go there's like no waste of time.
You have to stand in line holding the ball in your hand waiting for your turn
that's
Yeah,
All right.
We got it I'm gonna do a little and what did every bowling shirt ever made have buttons besides that like snaps.
I mean besides that big pocket put your smokes Everyone you know
Yeah, remember that time, Greg Cook, when he left the Packers, went to Miami Dolphins and they said, but whatever he goes, I got to buy a new wardrobe in Green Bay that saw they wear a bowling shirt.
And he was sent from Packer people so many bowling shirts.
It was like incredible.
That's awesome.
Yes.
And he donated to charity or whatever he did with them.
But it was like incredible amounts of bowling shirts people from Wisconsin sent him.
That's cool.
