I didn't bring it for you guys because you were a little critical last year.

I don't know.

I just didn't like it.

Oh, that's not being critical.

Okay.

John Maino

I just didn't let you know something.

Okay.

It's just it's not your cooking that were critical of I'm not a big

Yeah, I'm not I'm not a big fan of whole or not hoagies of heroes heroes.

Well, that's a totally

different way to cook it.

But

John Maino

you know, but it's just something about the eating the lamb.

Is it because it's a lamb

John Maino

John Maino

Not sure what it smells like Like Vix No, no, it's good.

I've got that smell all day though

Boy, the dentists enjoy that smell being in my face all day

today.

That's what you got going on

John Maino

three and a half hour root canal and crown today.

And I can't wait because I've been dealing with this for a long since your golf tournament two years ago.

Remember?

I do.

I'm seriously.

That's good to get that over with.

That's when you're buying me $12 drinks of vodka.

So I got to rub on my gums.

That is.

Well, you look forward to it.

No one looks forward to a root canal, but boy, you look forward to it to get it over with.

Yeah, right.

So,

John Maino

but you're asked to get both gastric.

I've never, they just give you a couple of shots in your teeth and that's it.

You can get both though, but I don't think so.

But I bet if you do, then you have to have somebody drive you or something.

Maybe.

Yes.

No, I don't want that.

That's true.

I just want to get out of there and go home and yeah, chill.

Mm hmm.

John Maino

So anyway, but what a big week we got going on.

It's all coming together right now.

And you know, it's kind of cool.

One thing I'm, I'm looking forward to, and I'm not sure when they're coming to probably Thursday or Wednesday.

Um, boy, Dan Patrick show and stuff like that.

And I know a lot of the guys are gonna be on some of those shows.

So it's gonna be fun going over and seeing a little to some of those guys,

right?

Is that.

Is that Wednesday?

I think it's Wednesday.

Wednesday.

I know he's coming to the, one of them is coming to the bar.

I know that.

Um, yeah, that's, that's going to be fun.

That's when the energy is really going to kick in.

So little competition, although with the news out of the Vatican.

Yeah.

You know, I was surprised when I got up this morning, like, wow, I didn't see that one coming.

John Maino

Okay.

Thank you, Todd.

Nice encouraging comment to start out my day, Todd.

Start out my week.

Tallow makes you look younger.

Well, it can't hurt.

There's nothing out there that can make John look any older.

Todd from Depeer.

Yeah,

I think he's behind of something there.

All

John Maino

right.

I am good.

Todd, do me a favor.

Don't take a picture.

Okay.

Just look at me.

Yep.

When, like this morning, and then look at me again in about a month.

Okay.

John Maino

Um, I'm trying to only send kind texts today with the draft being in town and everything.

And you start off saying, I'm doing something for my face.

Brian.

Okay, Brian.

Well, you know what, Brian?

Some of us still want to feel youthful and look youthful and think there's still good career out there and possibly male modeling or something.

You never know.

I've been working out.

What's going to happen?

It is a Monday today, 44 degrees in Green Bay, 45 in Alpton, 46 in Oshkosh, which is, I will take that.

Unfortunately, more rain coming up.

It was so cold last night here with that wind.

Wasn't that one of those just nasty cold spring nights?

Days.

Days.

Yeah.

Where that wind and rain was just unbelievable.

Today's national tea day.

I so wish I liked tea.

It's so good for you.

Yeah, it is.

And it's cool when you order it.

You know, they bring up the little box and everything, but yeah.

Todd, you seem like a tea guy.

A little bit.

Yeah.

Had some yesterday morning.

Usually a Sunday morning is when I do it.

John Maino

I have to put so much sweetener in it.

It's just such a bitter taste to me.

That it just you think it's some really good teas that are not better.

John Maino

I mean, I've tried I got it I've got a thing I got a box of green tea in my cupboard Yeah, and I can't figure out a way without putting six scoops of sugar in it to make it taste.

Yeah, you might want to

get that What's this orange citrus?

That's that you don't need as much right?

But that Earl gray, which is what I like but that needs I agree it needs something I don't I'm just coffee coffee coffee.

That's it.

I

John Maino

know but it's so good I know it is

It's like everything.

It's got the most immune system.

Yeah, things.

It's got that other stuff.

That's, you know, antioxidants.

Yep.

All that stuff.

Yeah.

Uh, quick survey.

What can my model?

Yeah.

Okay.

Um, yeah, I'm just trying to help.

I'm just trying to.

Be the best I can be every day.

So every day, wake up, be the best I can be today's kindergarten day.

Um,

That was a rough year.

Yeah, it is.

That's a rougher year than people realize.

So kindergarten,

did you have all day kindergarten?

No, mornings.

Did you have all day, Jim?

We did.

Well,

John Maino

we had the mornings.

The teachers like, it was out of three blocks from our house.

And my mom tells the story all the time, but the teacher's like, we're going to learn this, we're going to learn that, we're going to do this.

And kind of like getting the kids excited.

And then maybe it was half day.

Anyway, at this point, recess, we went outside.

I walked home.

Really?

Had enough?

Yeah, I had enough.

I

John Maino

like

that.

No,

John Maino

I'm not going to do that.

You know, people back then, and not sure, oh, woe is me, oh, people, we had Sister St.

Joseph, this little teat, little 99 years old, 100 pounds, no, 84 pounds.

But the old school of things, like, I remember, okay, I wasn't a great colorer.

I'd always go outside the lines.

Okay.

And you know what she'd make me do?

She'd make.

Me sit at a table.

Okay.

Me and like another kid.

I think it was 82, I don't know.

But hey, we'd have to sit at him.

And all the other kids would walk around holding up their pictures that they drew all around us.

Do you know what I mean?

Isn't that kind of humiliating?

Yeah, it's just a little.

Yeah.

Right?

Wow.

Really?

Yeah.

And then I remember one time you just get those little cartons of white milk, which was always warm.

So we'd be sitting on the hallway.

Oh,

John Maino

gosh.

And you'd have to sit and drink a carton of milk.

Yep.

and I would never, I would drink until I could see the bottom of the thing and then I'd go to throw it away and one day everybody would leave your cartons there and shit shake them and whoever didn't drink it all again had a sit at the table and other kids had a watch which gave you another carton of milk to drink because it was such a sin and wasting milk isn't that kind of wow

that's we had the whole sin thing but I don't remember her I

John Maino

turned out so much nicer

Now we know what I'm going to say.

Sister St.

Joseph.

I knew it went back to something.

John Maino

But is that traumatic?

I can't imagine if my granddaughters or somebody in when you're five years old, you get humiliated by the rest of the class.

My teacher, I had problems being able to tell the difference between a quarter and a nickel in kindergarten.

So she made me stay in and did the whole look at Todd, you know, to this day, I get freaked out when I have to count money back.

Really?

John Maino

Get nervous about that?

Yeah, because you know,

you get traumatized

John Maino

by that stuff.

Wow.

You do though.

I mean, I remember that like it was yesterday that it stayed with me.

Yep.

Yeah, it's funny because we, and I agree with everything you guys are saying.

We have a guest coming in talking about certain kids at certain ages.

are more apt to certain things.

Did you see that coming in later?

And that's really true.

We've talked about that before.

Maybe some kids are more interested in mechanical things than...

John Maino

Like I said, that's where the Soviets, how they did it.

Yeah, I

wasn't gonna say that, but this guy is really...

And I think we have to be more sensitive to that because there are instead of humiliating kids.

Let's let's let's support this kid and yeah run this track.

But anyway, we have somebody coming in later

John Maino

about

that.

John Maino

So

anyway, yeah.

Um,

John Maino

chocolate covered cashew day.

Love it.

Easter Bunny was pretty good to me.

Was he?

Yeah.

Unfortunately, because boy, I watched a lot of golf and stuff this weekend just tore into that whole big thing of candy.

And I did cut chocolate covers cashews from Siruji's Oh Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy money over there.

Then there was those other things It's up.

It's almost like coconut covered there It's like it's like almost like a brittle on their coconut covered can't think the name of them.

They're unbelievable unbelievable

And actually, I thought about that, getting my tooth done today.

I thought, you know, I probably won't be able to eat any of this stuff for a long time.

Right.

So,

Mysole,

John Maino

I loaded

up.

Go to town.

John Maino

That, and the only jelly bean I like, black licorice jelly beans.

Ooh.

John Maino

I like those, too.

The best.

Orange.

John Maino

Red.

All right, we're going to have a quick break now.

We got a full lineup today.

Back

after this.

John Maino

Brittany Marlowe.

Coming away from Ribb Mountain and her little cabin alongside the hill.

I could see you living in a cabin alongside a hill.

Brittney Merlot

Brittany.

Oh, I would love it.

Either a hill, a mountainy kind of big, big hill or a river or a lake.

I love the Great Lakes.

I'm not going to lie.

John Maino

I know.

Hard not to, isn't it?

Brittney Merlot

It is.

It's so hard.

They are just amazing.

John Maino

So that forecast is still sounding OK.

Just bring a little poncho.

Do something, something.

Along those lines, those lines that cold wind isn't a factor.

We're good to go.

Brittney Merlot

Yeah.

So I was looking at the wind.

I'm trying to figure out when it's going to be the windiest for you guys and which direction it looks like Friday.

It starts to get breezy, but it's going to be pulling out of the north.

Probably about 15 to 25 miles per hour at a north wind.

Then it starts to turn a little easterly Saturday, but it starts to die out as that high pressure system moves in.

So Friday a little breezy and it'll be out of the north.

And I really think.

that rain moving in, I think we're gonna have chances Wednesday night, probably seven to 10 or so.

And then this could linger into Thursday morning, some sprinkles till about nine or 10 Thursday morning.

And we kind of stay cloudy, dreary.

And then another wave of showers moves in probably seven or so, seven in the evening, Thursday.

And that lasts till about noon on Friday.

Then this whole thing kicks right out of here.

We're looking at clearing clouds, calming winds, nice sunshine on Saturday.

John Maino

All right, we'll take that.

I can't, you know, I'm trying to think back.

Anybody ever remember bad weather at any of these?

Not not in Green Bay, but I mean, like in the Kansas cities or the Detroit's or the Nashville's

or

John Maino

I mean, they're all

no.

So I don't.

OK.

But that Wednesday night is that kind of they're called opening ceremonies, but there's that's a big festival fireworks.

That's.

Here.

Plus the

John Maino

drone show.

We still got the drone show coming up, which I'm excited about.

I can't wait to see

the drone

John Maino

show.

Yeah, that's over.

Those

Brittney Merlot

are amazing.

Yes.

John Maino

That's gonna be fun.

Hey, Brittany, one other thing talked about just down the road here.

You know, sometimes people have these weird, like the woolly caterpillar things or whatever, whatever.

Have you seen any of these?

Maybe the Farmer Almanac signs of what our summer is going to be like.

And

Brittney Merlot

do you believe in any of those?

John Maino

Because I'm kind of a firm believer in nature.

If nature does certain things, I don't think you can discount that.

Wouldn't you agree?

I mean, billions and billions of years of somehow developing certain things.

Brittney Merlot

Right.

Yeah, there's

Brittney Merlot

signs.

I'm with you on that.

I mean, last week they had like 160 million birds migrating north.

I feel like that's a huge sign.

Like that means the snow is over.

We're done with the huge cold.

Did you see

John Maino

the dolphin thing?

Thousands of dolphins off the coast of California congregated

in their

John Maino

heading someplace.

Did you see 60 minutes last night the monarchs?

No, like Like I don't know what Anderson Cooper did the story like a billion or something They go to Mexico and they're they just take off like it.

Yeah, it's like how do they know?

It's crazy those guys go from Canada they go down there and

You know, they have a little party and they all hook up at the same place to go.

How do they do that?

They mate down there, some of them die, and then they just come back.

So although that's really, really, the count is really down.

John Maino

Well, like you cast the first stone, it didn't go to Mexico, made it and died.

Just saying.

That's how they got the reputation.

The monarch started at some.

John Maino

Wow.

But I'm a firm believer of what Mother Nature shows.

I agree.

Yep.

No question

about it.

Cool

John Maino

stuff.

We got to text your Chicago.

The draft had some rain, says Pat.

That was the first one.

Was it first out of New York?

First outdoor one, so to speak?

I don't know.

I think it was.

I think you're right.

I think Chicago had the first one.

I really do.

All right, Brayton, you have one more time.

Give us a quick forecast, and we'll let you get on to your wonderful day.

Brittney Merlot

All right, so we've got a little bit of light showers this morning.

Those will clear out of here.

We'll actually see some sun by sunset today.

Highs in the upper 40s, and then tomorrow afternoon, a chance of some light showers as...

temperatures hit those mid 50s.

Then the warm front lifts in for Wednesday.

Beautiful sunshine highs near 70 degrees on Wednesday.

We've got some light rain moving in at night.

Those sprinkles could last through Thursday morning.

We'll stay mostly cloudy on Thursday highs in the mid sixties and then some light rain moving in by the evening.

That'll continue into our Friday afternoon before that clears on out of here.

Highs on Friday will still be in the low sixties winds pulling out of the north getting a little breezy and then Saturday the high pressure system settles in.

Tons of sunshine highs in the upper fifties.

And we stayed bright and beautiful into Sunday highs at about 60.

John Maino

Perfect.

We'll take it.

We'll take it.

And you know, one thing about being over there amongst the whole thing, as far as that wind, I think there's going to be so much stuff around as far as for wind barriers.

Brittney Merlot

Yeah.

The bleachers seating in the middle of winter, you're surrounded by people.

You've got that body warmth.

It's not even as cold as Soldier Field gets.

No way.

Yeah.

And

there's besides the stuff in the tent, there's a lot of stuff in the bowl.

Yeah.

So we're going to be in great shape.

The other thing that's kind of good about that forecast is, you know, six months ago or whatever, people were talking about snow.

So people are like, wow, there's nothing.

The weather's going to be great.

Even if it doesn't drizzle.

Now

John Maino

we'll take that.

I'm looking forward to going into the bull and kind of watching some of it.

I think that's kind of cool.

That Wisconsin day

is going to be

John Maino

awesome.

Yeah.

I'm looking forward to it.

Brittany, thank you for getting up early for us.

I hope to see you here on Green Bay, Wisconsin this week and let's just have a great time despite my, I don't know if I mentioned my root canal today.

Don't even worry about it.

Brittney Merlot

You've got this.

You're strong.

You got this.

I'll see you guys this week.

Have fun.

Thank

John Maino

you, Brittany.

You're the best.

Bye.

See ya.

You too.

Brittany Merlot, Civic Media Meteorologist.

You know what?

She could give the worst forecast in the world.

We're gonna have a hurricane.

It's gonna be

so fun.

And you

John Maino

still feel good about it because she's just nice.

Yeah.

And she's so...

Independent, like she's, you know, that EAA and coming here and skiing and kayaking.

Hook up the trailer, hook up the

John Maino

pop-up, drive the truck, do the whole thing.

Yeah, yeah.

tougher than both of us.

Like,

you know,

John Maino

she's

Brittney Merlot

more

John Maino

independent.

We would just,

yeah.

She would give up

John Maino

the orders.

Way more independent

than you.

Did we

John Maino

ask you?

Did we

John Maino

ask you time?

She wouldn't be like, how do I get this coffee stain out

of my shirt?

John Maino

You know, no, she would take charge.

Don't recognize that voice.

Throwing that

up.

We do have some Dawn dish liquid in the, uh, in the kitchen.

So if you want to rinse that out, yeah, go jump on that during the next break.

You got time.

John Maino

All right, I will.

When we come back.

Whatever you want to know about any player that's going to be drafted in the National Football League draft.

I think they said 16 so far coming of the players of the potential top picks.

You know what?

I could talk

to you about where I think this is all going to end up.

That seems low, doesn't it?

Very.

Okay, that's like half.

I do.

I think they're going to... Okay, we'll talk

John Maino

about that.

Yeah.

John Maino

Alright, but anyway, if you have any questions, we've got the editor

for

John Maino

Lindy Sports Draft Magazine, the 2025 Draft Guide.

He's coming up next.

Any questions?

Text us.
