anywhere.
And here are
Hey, thank you very much.
Welcome back.
Hour number two, Minow the Mayor, 97.9 FM, WGBW, 96.5 FM, WISS, coming your way in Appleton and Oshkosh.
Brewers on WISS tonight at 640, taking on the St.
Louis Cardinals.
Always a great rivalry.
Special thanks to Lisa Hale for joining us.
Is Nick still on there?
Nick, who was at Stadium View last night, doing his cheese curds and the whole thing.
It was great.
And now we're with Mark Hughes in Bell and Sports Medicine.
And I'm just, I'm not gonna blow smoke up your butt here, Mark, but I'm very honored that Dominic and I were invited to your event last night.
And it was, it was fantastic.
You guys, I mean, for being right there, what a nice event you put on.
And I was telling Jim first thing I walked into.
You can't believe this brisket I had last night.
This brisket was unbelievable.
That was really cool.
You guys put together a great event, and the cool part, Jim, is I've never been, I mean, I'm a patient of theirs, you know, with whatever, but I had never been to the upstairs.
They get an unbelievable workout facility that would be like an NFL workout room with all the cameras to video everything you do.
That's really cool, Mark.
We don't talk about that enough.
Yeah, I'll perhaps come back, talk about it another time.
I will tell you, I just left that building because I stayed overnight there.
huh?
I slept there.
No one had to be back here, so.
But I'll tell you, credit to the entire, our staff, they have, they put on a great event.
We have an event still in the parking lot the next two days.
Yeah, how?
A lot of vendors out there, but, and then that floor, that was, we got everything cleaned up last night, out of there by midnight.
And our maintenance guys, the floor is up and by 6.30 when I left, it's,
We can see turf again.
So, you know, it was a, it was a great, I think it's a great way to give back to the community.
You know, we have one good shot at this.
Yeah.
We don't have experience.
Like you said, you've just had other people on.
Take advantage of
Enjoy the time.
It's
of the cool part about living here.
There's going to be some things we all probably did wrong.
And there's going to be some things we said, man, we knocked that out of the park.
I thought you guys
just day one.
We've got two more days.
That's gonna be pretty cool though.
Over at Heritage Hill, we're doing that.
People, you're invited.
I want to invite people over there at Heritage Hill today.
We're doing a little seminar or whatever you want to call it, a presentation for Jerry Vanesey.
to try to get him into the NFL Hall of Fame, or Japanese, try to get him in the NFL Hall of Fame.
He drafted 13 Green Bay Packers that are Hall of Famers, 13.
And we're trying to bring awareness to it with the NFL being here.
We're, we're, we're, okay, Brian.
You know who's right on today is Brian.
Oh, Brian's.
I was so snarky.
Brian had his, oh, it's, mine was more of a herb.
Really?
Okay.
No, I'm not.
I remember that.
I do.
No, I'm not, Brian.
You know what I am?
I'm a cult.
Shout out to cheese curd, Nick.
After a number of large adult beverages, those cheese curds were just what I needed.
I agree, Mike.
Yeah.
Man, is there?
Yeah.
By the way, Uber drivers made a lot of money last night, says Mike.
I heard there were 200.
Well, actually, the lady that drove the bus at your place said, folks, you don't want to miss the bus because the Ubers are $200 right now in this area.
Did you get that too?
No.
We had our last bus, I think, roll out at 11.30.
And credit to the bus.
I mean, I tell you what, everyone's done a great job.
And we were just saying off the air of it was a very good environment to be in last
cool.
We did not see a lot of drunks
see any.
me?
Out of control people.
you're going to have some.
And I think people, I think a lot of people did disperse after the Packers.
helped out.
But it was a very well run event by the NFL and the Grammy Packers.
And I think people maybe started with pricing, you know, six months ago or whatever, did a lot of chatter, but I paid $80.
You know, you look at that for, I think I was there, what, seven, six hours probably?
You know, because I went, that's not a lot.
15 bucks an hour?
But parking tickets down here for $22.
So I mean, I thought it was a good deal.
Yeah.
I mean, it was, honestly, I think, I think the
biggest
thing we have to remember is it was, it's the one time shot.
I just don't see, I mean, nothing against Packers NFL.
I just don't see it coming back
anytime soon.
It would be awesome.
So, but I think for what everyone kind of came together and planned what you felt like he had to do.
Um, some people talk, some people didn't.
Um, you
That's
bigger than I experienced.
I think to give them credit to, I think that's another thing, you know, people talked about is the, the whole area is so big just to go in.
and check out what we call the title town park area where the turf is.
There's enough.
of activities going on right there, you could probably spend half a day.
Minzo's on that
Yeah.
And I give this credit to the Packers.
They've done some movies during the summertime.
I have been told,
You could, you know, grab the blanket, grab your family on
That is, and they put up one of those very good screens with LEDs.
Boy, I tell you what, that's a great opportunity.
holy crap.
So, uh We didn't go it was last year first game of the year.
My wife was gone and I brought my son up and
we just kind of want we have a few people tailgating and you know what great place to watch flyover.
Jim.
I
a... You know what?
Can you, can you, well, you think it's going to do a fly over tonight again?
be
would.
They
flying
those jets flying over that area.
Holy cow.
have flyovers.
Let's see when we get a fly over tonight.
Yeah, let's see how much pull you have.
Thank
the line.
Just explain the event you guys put on last night and I will be honest with you.
You were like that one-legged man and a
Ash kicking contest you're on your phone cut the bus is and we're trying this was funny Jim So we're driving over or on the bus.
It took us what 40 minutes.
Yeah, there's we did have there was an accident.
to
No, it was, you know, it was a great opportunity to have some of our partners from businesses and schools, communities, some of our own leaders just come together.
But we pulled it.
You guys had one of one of our organizers out in the parking lot.
We have vendors that are doing things out in the parking lot, trying to give food back.
And, and then there's a whole bunch of more vendors.
That's the food side.
And then we also have more vendor selling stuff on a tent.
We had Jerry Kramer there.
YMCA was there doing activities.
and Girls Club.
I think when we looked at the whole thing, this wasn't just about one thing.
It was how do we use our perimeter and say, how do we give back the community?
How do we say thank you?
And yes, I'd still encourage people.
I will say this.
I'm not going back.
Okay, just because you know what I mean?
It's like an experience and it was awesome and it was great But it almost you almost have to have a second day because like last night was so you know drinking of a fire hose type thing I don't think you had a chance to appreciate it last night So today would be a great day to get a better
Yeah, I want to go I'm gonna I'm going tomorrow.
I'm okay.
I'm taking today off But we got a lot of stuff to do today, right?
We got that booyah thing and then there's a
tailgate party with the super fan fest, but I'm going with my brother tomorrow, but I'm taking so I'm gonna go to your I'm gonna definitely go to that I'm gonna support and tomorrow
I will tell you I'm here and the weather is gonna be perfect It is gonna be a little bit cooler, but I'll tell you what I think tomorrow is gonna be the day to come as a family right to wander your kids down Taking the activities hang out for two hours.
It costs you nothing totally agree.
Correct.
I think I think your die hard is gonna be out of there.
They make
come tonight tomorrow or last night tonight.
And then I think there's going to be a lot of families coming out there.
I think it's just going to be a great opportunity.
to see the view of the whole thing.
But the NFL has got so many of these little things.
You can check out Super Bowl rings.
You can check out jerseys.
You can check out so many of these things.
And all you got to do is download that app.
You know what?
If you take a look at another, I think the other thing, download the app and just familiarize it yourself with it.
Because if you get on that app, it tells you a lot, you know, from autograph sessions and we had a lot of people saying, I'm just going in for
Something that matters and can help change things.
You want to feel like you belong.
We know.
We felt that way too.
And that's why we did something about it.
We aren't just Army National Guard soldiers.
We are normal people just like you.
But our part-time service in the Army National Guard means we get to be more.
When our communities are in need, we get the chance to stand up and do something about it.
We get to serve in our own region and help the people we call neighbors.
From the Lakeshores of Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota,
the fertile fields of Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa to the wide open plains of North and South Dakota,
we are here for our hometowns.
And together, we can make a difference.

Just being honest.
Mark Houston, Bell & Sports Medicine here, hosted a phenomenal event last night.
Mark.
It's gotta be pretty cool when you think about it.
I actually thought that last night sitting in your place.
It's an amazing complex.
It really truly is.
I mean, it's state of the art, but
When you think about it, I mean, there's a lot of cities in the world and you're right there next to Lambeau Field and the National Football League and you guys are doing it.
It's it's sometimes I think we need to step back and appreciate kind of what we have here.
Wouldn't you
agree?
Yeah, and you know, I'm honestly, I'm blessed of just the way we kind of come in.
It's Brookwood Drive, Paralyze Paralyze Parallels Lombardi and I can drive in and see the Lambeau Field.
We can see the the the one of the signs and
you do have to catch yourself, pinch yourself and say, man, I've got it pretty good.
And we all do.
I mean, I think it's just like you said, now with what they have the entitlement on district, that even wintertime, it's not a game day.
Take your kids over to the atrium, let them just run around that floor.
I've done it with my son.
You know, it's like, there's a lot of pretty cool things we have up here.
I
we should.
Yeah.
And you know, I suppose everyone does.
It doesn't matter where you are in whatever town, but it's some great opportunities.
You know, and it's
Again, this is just a, it's just a fun thing.
It's amazing what's, what's been here just for one day one.
We got two more days and to see how it goes.
And, but I think the, you know, it would have been a whole different thing if you said, Hey, it's $20 person to get in.
Oh boy, that, that's going to rub some people wrong so that you can go in.
It's free now.
Yeah.
Do you have to park?
Yes.
Do you have to buy food and you're going to spend some money, but it should be a great time.
You don't have to know that you're right.
I mean you can and you can take the shuttles.
There are shuttles.
There's there's opportunities
I I would I'll tell you I mean I'll tell you something and when we were driving out all those neighborhoods it did it seemed like a packer game because everybody's like tailgating and then you know the little fire pits outside but all those yards were filled with cars I will say that but with that being said the last thing in the world I would do would be to get into my car and drive around that area trying to find a parking place it's like take a shuttle
Wouldn't you agree?
Yeah, there was, I drove in yesterday.
I had a meeting.
So I was there at seven.
I would say at seven.
It was seven in the morning.
So I just left there at 6.30 to come to the station.
They're probably two to three blocks out already from our clinic.
that.
But I mean, overall, I mean, everyone's going to couldn't nitpick, but I'll tell you what, we love the event that we had.
I love what the committee kind of came around and did on this.
And some people said, hey, I have no desire to come up and do those things.
I think it's also a day of event.
I don't
and then sit and wait.
entertaining you.
No.
Between the picks.
Right.
Now you have to entertain yourself kind of.
Who's saying the national anthem?
You know what?
Someone asked me that.
I do not
them.
gonna call you John.
agree.
And the rumor was that maybe you'll be flying the jets, John.
Me?
Yeah.
They talked to me about that.
I know.
I will tell you that we are very well protected,
just from Green Bay, not just from Brown County Sheriff, not just from State Patrol, everyone, because they have been great guys and gals to work with and did an amazing job.
The presence is there.
But it's not that I'd worried I bought it.
No.
Yeah, but yeah
guys they they come around golf carts with five guys on a golf cart Yeah,
And they don't come around once.
I'm almost guessing they come around four or five times
day.
I mean, they're very professional.
But they've
Like we said, we've got 12 o'clock till 7 o'clock tonight.
We've got a lot of food vendors.
We've got vendors selling stuff.
In the
parking lot.
We
have YMCA, big brothers, big sisters.
YMCA, bring your kids over.
Play some games.
Big brother, check out their ears.
I also thought cigarettes were my best friend.
And then they gave me peripheral artery disease.
friend, you need a better friend.
You can quit.

after going to the draft last night though.
Oh, that's unbelievable.
So when we're walking over from your place over to the thing, I go, Dom, look at that guy!
How big he is, okay?
And then we're sitting there and it's like...
That's the guy he was drafted to defense men.
People don't understand how big these human beings are in the national football league.
I mean, you're a big guy, Frank.
Yeah, they're big.
But these guys, I mean, this guy was like six, seven, three, oh,
these,
tackles.
my
God, are they
big and they can move?
Wow.
Six foot, 198 pounds, I believe.
The wide receiver.
Sean Jones interview.
He's six, seven.
I thought that was cool.
I thought I'd be able to just kind of walk wherever I wanted to last night because I wanted to see James Jones who used to do our radio.
You remember?
Yeah.
You sit with Murphy and the boys and by being secure.
I mean, you couldn't get.
You can't.
You can't get.
I just want to tell people what you see on TV.
Ain't gonna be what you're gonna experience because that one area where you were because you're you know, you paid your way in or whatever whatever I mean anything.
I got whatever But it's like you're gonna be on the periphery kind of and you're not gonna be up there by Roger Goodell Because I want to go see James Jones was a great friend of mine, but I thought that was great.
They had all those Packers up there didn't
you?
Yeah, that was very cool.
Yeah It's
It's awesome.
Just have a lot of those legends back.
Yeah
Yeah, I mean, they're
my wife's judging everybody.
What do you mean?
Yeah.
Wow, Clay put on some weight.
Yeah, everybody.
Holy cow.
They do.
What
say about me?
Well, she didn't see you.
Okay.
I'm gonna show her
judged me.
Be
you.
She
me.
Yep.
Yep.
You know, I didn't think I'd do anything this week with the draft.
The phone started ringing and people started asking.
I wrote a show years ago called the Heritage Trail, Curly Lamble with Cliff Crystal.
And I played Curly Lamble.
So the Northland Hotel called me yesterday.
would never.
No, you're way too big.
lamb was six foot.
He was not.
Six foot two hundred pounds.
No, he
Okay.
That's what he says.
I don't know
he says they're six feet yeah true or false true true that is truth truth yeah I am I'm I'm six three and two fifty so I'm a little bit bigger than Curly but you know Curly Lambert was a lot of the life character he pioneered the the forward pass you know and he had a tumultuous relationship with Johnny Blood and I just wanted to bring that
I don't know why I'm talking like this because I think
I don't
either.
That's
why it sounds
like the 1920s radio
Calliwert owns the house right now.
And he was a hometown kid and made it 1919 pack.
They say John Heisman invented the forward pass, but he pioneered the forward pass, Curly Lambeau.
And he was a prolific passer from 1919 to 1923.
Then he became the head.
coach and you
that accent.
that from?
It's called Mid-Atlantic.
Mid-Atlantic.
Well, all the Hollywood people talk like that.
That's correct.
And we'll tell you
thing.
Come on, chum.
Totally.
Because I did hear Curly Lambeau talk.
I've never heard him
I'd love
Oh,
That was Newt Rockney and Gus Dorius.
OK.
And they were working as lifeguards in northern Indiana.
And they had a football and during on the beach, they started throwing the football around and they were the guys.
Gus Dorius was the was the quarterback.
and Newt Rockney was the receiver at Notre Dame, and they pulled it out against Army, and they were like huge underdogs, and they pulled it out, and they threw like three touchdown passes in that game, and that's where it revolutionized the forward pass.
It wasn't curly lamblet at
all.
Well, no, I didn't say invented.
He pioneered it.
didn't.
the
In his book, it says that.
Yeah.
it?
Oh gosh, 1950s, 1949, right?
Is that what it was?
I don't even know.
My grandfather's
really?
How cool
When my grandfather moved over from Italy, he lived with the Renzani's up in Iron Mountain.
How cool is that?
And then when Gino was born, my grandfather was his godfather.
Really?
So do you want to talk more old footballer?
No, I don't I just want to be curly Lambo today.
Talk like that!
I like your look though, man!
You talk
like Acme Packers!
What are you?
Well, you know, they wanted to look like he wanted to look like the Notre Dame's.
Remember back in the day, he wanted that royal blue look and canvas?
know, canvas and it's a very... Buck skin holding your
I
belt on there.
You know, no helmet.
Again, you're the music man.
I am the music man
today we got the booyah, you know the the taste of the booyah in the Kringle contest and I'll be emceeing it today It's awesome as Curly Lambo, but I'm here to talk about a brand new musical like I can open it
You don't care about we want to know okay first of all We want to know about what do you think about the whole thing going on?
Were you there last night?
I was not.
Oh, you want to I want to like I said that you perform
300 nights a year, and on an off night you go to see somebody else perform.
This is a band that my wife and I have loved, OK Go.
And they haven't put on an album in 10 years.
And for them to play in Milwaukee at Turner Hall is unbelievable, because they usually play like bigger places.
They're a big, big band.
They're an A-list.
It was sold out last night.
But what's sold out at Turner Hall?
I don't know, 3,000 people?
But it was a great concert.
I never loved Turner Hall.
Oh my gosh.
Do you think 3,000 fit in there?
What do you think?
I don't know.
I was just there about a month ago.
I was just wondering about Michael.
I would think about 3,000.
You know, it's kind of a big gymnasium.
whatever, built in 1853, where they got together
that?
You paid a few bucks to park.
Actually, I got a park.
It's already across the street.
Four bucks.
Four bucks.
Wow.
Because there's probably
would be done.
was like, where am I going?
today?
No, it was just yesterday.
But Frank, what did
you do the tours for?
Well, there were people from all over.
So anyone
who
was staying there?
No, no, no.
There were people just walking in because they advertised tours
the hotel the three
so I talked about
Well, he went to college in Minnesota
I don't know if it was Olaf or what it
John's.
St.
John's.
Didn't he go back and teach there eventually to economics?
Okay, do you know what he did during World War II?
World War II, what was he?
Because he, I don't know, was he in information
Yeah, yeah.
Well, that's why he got away with some of his crap in the NFL.
I
do you play for Curly?
interesting
got going on?
So Brent, the musical opens up May 17th.
That's a story about a guy who can't make up his mind.
I wrote this show about Brent Farth, you know, 17 years ago, we toured all over the state doing this show.
So we thought we'd bring it back.
It's a good one.
It's for dinner and a show.
Brent,
Brent, we call him, is the best slow pitch softball player in Brown County, plays for the bar.
Yeah, but he's thinking about retiring.
Yeah, because there's a new upstart pitcher coming behind him, Darian Rogers.
And the stadium view wants him to come play slow pitch.
Lisa Purple texts him.
Well, he texts her back.
And let's just
say
it's a
story that you
will love
it.
Remember, Lisa Purple gets around and it's kind of your wife.
No, it's not.
That's Lisa.
My wife plays at least Amy Green, who owns the bar.
But anyway, his his buddies, Frankie Begallong, Johns and Chunky, they wanted to stay and play.
for the bar.
Who's playing Frankie?
Frankie Bacon Longjohns is played by Pat.
Oh, OK.
And Johnny, or I'm sorry, Chunky is played by Paul Evenson.
So they're my
will be
wrote most of the music for this show.
It's a wonderful show, May 7th through the 10th backstage in the Meyer.
after this.
Thanks for your show.
I'm just wondering if we're watching you're witnessing a legal system where what we thought was precedent is now going to be sort of cast away.
Retinitis pigmentosa aim to overwhelm my family.
They tried to cut me down.
I know.
Here we go.
Or
more at fighting blindness dot org a public service message from the foundation fighting blindness.
With a 23rd pick in the 2025 NFL draft, the 13-time world champion, Green Bay Packers.
For the first time since 2002, draft a wide receiver.
Frank Herman's in the house, special thanks to Mark Hewson, Bell and Sports Medicine, who is hosting a tremendous event at their place right now.
If you get a chance to go over to Packard Draft, go around there.
They got some great, great places to go.
Mike Clemens is joining us here, sports director for Civic Media.
Mike, what'd you think of round number one?
17 years as the CEO and president you come up with this idea 10 years ago Okay, maybe we could get the draft to come here and now you're standing out there.
It's you know decent enough weather in April There's a hundred thousand people in the parking lot.
They've got another 15 20,000 spillover that go inside the bowl and Then they hand you the card and goodies decided to give you yeah a wide receiver Yeah, and you go out there and you get to read that card.
I mean, yeah, even though with the parking
within a mile of the stadium in either the houses, the shops, the restaurants, a church was $100 a car, you know, and any other kinds of hassles, that was worth it.
That moment was right there worth it.
You know, you don't, he should have just dropped the mic right there.
So that's it.
And it's all yours.
That was something
asked.
Given the moment, given that it's here, given the drought, is there any even consideration of, wow, this is significant to finally take a receiver in the first round?
Isn't that crazy 23 years ago or so.
So they get this kid out of Texas.
Yeah, who I seems like a great kid yesterday.
Yeah, Matthew Golden who eight or nine years ago guys He's living out in front of a Walmart with his mom.
We're going from motel to motel And then a family picks them up and he finishes, you know, three years of high school
He goes to Houston University, then transfers over to Texas, because that was an offense that the Packers felt maybe fit him better in tracking what he did.
And then there was this great moment last night, Jim, where I picked up on something.
I heard an announcement that Brian Goodenkin's, who doesn't do a lot of interviews like Ted did, was going to be on the Rich Eisen Show.
So it was actually on my way up.
I called one of our producers and I said, could you record that for me?
But I, I think I caught most of it, you know, in the car.
And after they get done, um, Rich Eisen says, okay, Brian Goodigan, thanks for being on the show.
Coming up next, Texas wide receiver, Matthew Golden.
Oh, oh, I should probably listen to this because this could be a guy, you know, that's on their list was, we'll see.
And so when they come back.
He talks to him about, he talks to Matthew about himself a little bit about that tough background.
He says, by the way, during the break, I noticed Brian Goodykins and you two talking backstage.
There was a little embrace there.
What's that all about?
He says, he said, have you seen him before?
He says, I was just in Green Bay two weeks ago, one
of
Well, how'd that go?
He said, it wasn't great.
This is the kid who says he just had met with Brian two weeks ago, sat down with him.
Matt LaFleur the other coaches and some of the players as well so So I asked both those guys about that and the kid you know the draft pick.
He's like, you know what he said when I saw him yesterday He said that and shook hands with them.
I'm just I'm starting to think maybe this is something you know Maybe there's something there and I asked Goody about a last night goes.
Yeah, I want to pump the brakes now Okay, you know, I'm because you know what he's he's trying to improve, you know his
His relationships with players like that, you know, but he hung around for that kid just to say hi to him.
But I said, did you ever think that, you know, 36 hours, you'd actually be picking that kid that he'd be left on the board?
And he said, you know, football decision, he was the kid that was left there.
But, you know, yeah, they both understood that was that was quite a moment.
That's cool.
So Goody knew that if he was on the board, he was taking him by the math, by the math.
You know, that's cool.
Yeah.
But a lot of coincidence.
Right.
Right.
What do you see today?
Maybe they'll get that defensive lineman that we talked about.
And like you talked about, there's so many that they can get.
And maybe they'll get a corner.
And maybe there'll be some sort of a deal for Jair Alexander, a trade away or something like that.
