Good morning.

Happy Friday.

National Football League in Titletown, Green Bay.

I'll tell you what, folks.

We were there last night and it was incredible.

It was fun.

It was fun.

Different.

We were talking.

I wonder if this could be disappointing.

I don't think there's that many people coming in.

Holy

crap.

Shut up.

Boom.

Did they show up?

I mean, from all over the country, all over the world.

And you know what?

I give people credit.

I mean, like Miami Dolphin fans wearing their Jacksonville Jaguar.

I mean, it's like, wow, that was something last night.

I mean, yeah, it was unique, different.

Never been to one of those.

Never go again.

No,

that's true.

I

ain't going back.

I gotta tell you something, Mark Houston will be coming in later.

Bell and Sports Medicine put together such a fantastic event at their place last night.

I give them all the credit in the world.

That was just incredible.

So, yeah.

Food

trucks, everything was,

right?

I mean, everything was.

It was great.

It was wonderful.

And the

weather held, and I'm just proud of, you know, us.

Yeah.

But yeah, I was in the tent, but

still, I'm

glad that.

third row, but it was fun.

But I'm

telling you, people, you can't, I mean, Dom and I and Dom, we were talking about this.

I think 14 years we had the season take, or Ted Thomas gave us the tickets for to host veterans.

And we're like, at first we're like, oh, this is probably about twice the size of a Packer crowd.

And then it got, this is probably three times the size of a Packer game day.

What would you think, Jim?

Well, they said two or five.

So yeah, that would be right, right?

Let me just walk around.

What did you feel?

At least twice.

Yeah,

and maybe two and a half

Again, my view was different.

I came in a different way You know, I and but I turned around and saw like that is a lot of people because I usually look at that parking lot and there's cars and tailgate parties And then you turn around you look at it and it's just all people.

It was no cars.

It was just a

mass humanity.

Yeah, it was ridiculous a lot of people

Everybody was growing.

I mean it was it was it was really

great.

There weren't even any beer stands in there.

I

didn't see any either Yeah, you didn't even see people walking around with beers

too

much, right?

Again,

I stuck I stuck one in my hoodie so I could walk I took yeah, I'll be honest um Actually took two but otherwise.

I didn't see other people really drunk

Yeah, did you well again?

I was I didn't but you

know what I mean though the type of crowd it was rowdy kind of

You

know packer Vikings game.

What's it like to be in the third row NFL?

Cocktail service.

It was just it's different.

It's but those aren't I it was really I was and I think it's because a couple things one is that first volume pay for the tickets I say that yeah, they didn't

okay

I'm going to back up.

I'm going to do it.

When's the last time you actually paid for a ticket to

anything?

I don't remember.

They did an event at the New Community Shelter.

The lady from New York was in charge of it.

She said, hey, look, are you guys going to the draft?

I'm like, yeah, when we live here, we're probably going to go.

And she goes, well, let me see what I can do.

And then she didn't call back.

We're like, hey, look, she tried.

She didn't call back.

And then what's today Friday?

So it was very late Thursday, 11, 11.30 at night.

She was, hey, you got a couple tickets for you guys.

You want to go?

So we went and it was it was great.

I tell you what was weird.

This is so there was somebody in the front row and Okay, you know I'm gonna tell you

something first.

I hate complimenting you on anything.

Mm-hmm.

That's a cool sweater Where'd you get that?

I'm serious.

Pro

shop.

Yeah

yesterday.

No, this is old.

No.

Yeah, I

Dig this one out.

There was

actually, there's some

cool

swag out there.

I'm going

to be on

there.

I even compliment a couple of people on the Belvin thing last thing.

Where'd

you get that?

I'm still waiting till Monday.

Yeah, me too.

But there's some really cool things out there right now.

Yeah.

So I want to finish your story.

What was sad about front row?

Yeah.

Family.

Yes.

Family.

Yep.

Super nice.

And they kid wearing a suit and then the, um, had a football autograph.

I don't see who's autographing, but you know,

They turned it on, it was exciting.

The others was great, you know, just a little, because then some people came and said, I'm the second Rowan.

And then the person I was with, Chris, they were like, wow, who do you think they are?

I said, I don't know.

I said, that's awesome.

The whole family was there, three kids, and then the mom and dad.

And then Cleveland was up for their draft.

And right before Cleveland came, they'd take the kid away, and he was the make-a-wish kid.

Oh, I saw that.

Yeah.

In the wheelchair.

Nope.

Wasn't him

it

was a Cleveland hit his his make-a-wish was to introduce Somebody from Cleveland's favorite team.

Oh, okay Anyway, and so then that was pretty cool because then after a lot of people are fist bumping on and stuff.

So the one that you saw there was another one There was two that night.

I didn't okay.

I

didn't see your guy.

I saw the kid in the wheelchair after the pack of draft.

So okay, anyway, but hey, I'm excited

receiver man.

Thank you bring as many

weapons as possible

it it was it was it was funny though but boy do they boo can you hear that on tv how loud they boo gadel every time every time

but he liked

it yeah he does yeah

i was surprised remember i said

every

time i thought maybe green baby the one place he didn't

get food and you were like i was

like nah

but it's not it

in that theater though, it's not Green Bay.

I mean, they've got sections carved out for every team.

They wear, they really, really dress up to, you know.

Yeah, no question.

So anyway,

isn't that kind of interesting though that all these people come

and then

the one guy who's kind of in charge of the whole big thing gets booed for it.

That should tell you how people feel about him, you know?

I mean, I'll be honest with it.

I mean, God bless you.

You were in the bowl.

We couldn't even get close.

I mean, could not even get.

Close to it.

I text a friend of mine.

I'm like, where he goes, I'm behind you.

Yeah.

And

there's no way to get there.

I'm like, really?

I mean, I'm not I'm not exaggerating.

I'm into a million different events

and

this was this was different.

It was very different.

It was different, but you know and it's just a lot of energy and you know the the music I don't know what you thought of the music

Who was the guy Todd who was saying that ash he was great, but who was that?

Do you know Todd?

I'll check.

I'll look it up.

I mean,

he's not like a big name, right?

I was surprised any big

big

names.

No No, that was one of the surprising I mean, I would have thought it was be like, you know carry underwater

somebody did promote Brad Paisley, you know saying that he you know stick around thing But yeah, I thought

I don't know.

I just thought there would be, it was good entertainment.

Michael Jackson, he just had a variety of music, but I thought they'd bring in

somebody a little bit more

known.

Yeah.

Steven Wilson, Jr.

Guitarist?

Little guitar?

Yeah, that's what

his name is.

Kind of acoustically.

Yep.

Yep.

And what was the band?

Who was, you know, it was Brass.

I mean, it was a good band, but never heard of him.

Yeah, I'm surprised they had

a huge marquee name for the...

Because I think they could afford it.

But it was a kind of

down.

Yeah.

I was surprised.

But I'll tell you what, the Black Hawk helicopters, four of them that flew over at the end of the National Anthem, came from the West Side.

And that was really cool.

Wasn't it, though?

Yes.

Well, I would have sent the jets because we were going to know for the jets.

I thought the helicopters were pretty cool.

They were.

OK.

I took pictures.

I thought was cool.

I did, too.

I put it on my Facebook.

I thought they were very good.

I mean, I got, I almost got

Jim, I'm just going to go ahead and call you go ahead and order them for today.

Okay.

When they pick up the phone,

how?

When the hell were

the jets?

For a great amount of them.

I was married to sleep in city.

We had a lot of jets.

When the hell were the jets?

And he turned on those afterburners.

They're so

loud.

You take your god-blessed

blackhawks

and stick them on a sandal shine.

Those look cool.

I didn't.

I don't want to take anything away from them.

But in Madison, we have jets too.

That's where they came from.

So anyway, yes, I thought that was nice.

That was a nice touch.

All

right.

Vicky says it's Friday.

Let's go.

Hello,

Vicky.

Vicky is like our favorite

person.

Vicki, you're our second favorite person.

My favorite.

Vicki, you're second.

The lady last night, that was my bartender at the Bellen thing.

Oh, yeah.

Very quiet.

It was just, I just want to thank you for your morning radio show.

I listen

every day

and I really enjoy that.

And I gave her a $20 tip.

Did

you?

I did.

Before she said

that.

No, after she said that.

But that was just really nice of her to say

that.

So yesterday I didn't tell you the story I did I

go now.

I'm gonna say one more thing I did ask somebody else or I didn't ask somebody else asked me a question mm-hmm True or false did Jim really burn his

pet?

Yeah, you could say no you could say no to that because it was my sister's brother Honest to God,

I gotta ask you something.

I know

yesterday was that BS and thanks for doing the promo yesterday because I had to run out of here at 9 because I had to get over to the Northland Hotel because Frank Frank's gonna be on our show later We gave tours to people they just a lot of a lot of guests but people would stop in and give tours and the crystal ballroom where you guys were when that's where President Kennedy was and

Vince Lombardi.

They're the Vince Lombardi guy.

They're walking around.

Anyway, it was see a name drop or what?

No, no, I'm just saying that you guys were there for that.

But anyway,

John Kennedy,

the room was

closed next to Kennedy.

The room was closed because Mrs. Patrick Mahomes mom was having a breakfast meeting for wives and mothers of people being drafted.

Like that's that's cool.

That's a niche.

But that's

like, like, what's going to happen tonight?

This is what's gonna happen if he doesn't be she if he doesn't I

said that was really cool at the mom of the guys the Packers drafted and she was like oh my god I love Green Bay.

Yeah, we've been here.

This is

right

awesome.

Hope

yeah

Wonderful the people are I thought that was cool.

Yeah, so anyway that was and it was pretty well attended and but even those mothers are younger than we are

Okay,

I'm gonna throw this out

there Jim.

Yeah, they also had the grandmother the grandmother

Oh, man By the way, so that these lady like it is so that that was over at noon and we had a work kill one So then the lady comes down and they had on the tables these unbelievable bouquets of fresh flowers And she goes, you know, we're gonna fly back and I work for Mrs. Holmes and would you like one of these and I'm like sure so then

Of course, when I went home last night, I said, I know I've been really busy.

Todd's been working us a little overtime in the shelter.

So I just got these to kind of, you know, show that I'm sorry about not being home a lot.

Free flowers.

Yeah.

But I keep it to her.

She didn't know that.

After 30 years, she goes, you didn't buy these.

My lovely husband.

Let me tell you about what Jim's like.

But anyway, he's done.

And I gave her a gift basket.

Look, I got some snacks.

You can watch a movie.

That was from A Simple

Life.

That's

right.

We got nice swag bags from Bill when last night.

Oh, nice.

Yeah.

Very nice way.

That was a great event.

When Mark Houston comes in, I'm just going to just say, wow, buddy.

You guys were like the central of the whole thing.

What a great event they put together at Bell and Sports Medicine last night.

And it was held upstairs of where they have their workout room.

Oh, yeah.

Which is really cool.

Where they videotape.

They actually want me.

One of the doctors wants me.

They videotape people and they want to use me as like their instructor video.

I'm getting really cheap in my old age.

Yes.

So weird you to Jim.

No

Well,

you bring your wife fresh flowers from a job.

Things just seem so expensive.

Don't

I think they're more expensive.

I'll give you that

expensive.

But it's here.

I don't think you.

And I always thought, you know, my dad and your dad and our dad, Todd's dad, they could open up their wallet and then have like $20 in their wallet.

You know what

I mean?

Yeah.

Right.

Yep.

Do you carry $20 your wallet?

Nope.

Do you?

I don't care.

I don't care wallet.

Um, this is what I think.

This is how I justify it.

I think if you're going to spend X amount a month, right?

Or whatever.

But I don't have any expenses anymore because my kids are gone.

Yeah.

So it doesn't, it's not as stressful to me.

My kid makes twice as much as

I

make

Brian says Green Bay Metro did a fantastic job with the buses

Let's tell Patty that because she was taking a little bit of heat remember when she was in here and we're like look because The communication between some of these silos wasn't working for her and she's like I didn't know

I thought they were doing this.

She

did a good job.

And that is not.

I was talking to people last night that are very deeply involved with the draft and they were saying the same thing up till a few days ago.

They still weren't even sure on some things, but it did seem

to

all come together.

So yesterday, Frank can probably agree with this.

There's some people at the Northland from Pittsburgh, you know, kind of coming in and checking it out.

And I said, so any concerns before you as well?

the layout because remember how that was such an issue for like months.

Absolutely.

I'm like, yeah, get that squared away first because they want their store.

How do you say in the zone?

Or out of this I forgot what he wanted because I think if you're in the zone you have to pay an extra commission right on your stuff So he wanted to be right out of the zone anyway.

He was talking about that anyway He thinks Green Bay's really

50 bit breezy with northerly wind gusts from 15 to 20 maybe up to 25 tonight We'll drop into the mid 30s tomorrow sunny upper 50s by Sunday partly cloudy in the low 60s.

We got a text here I went to the draft for the noon opening yesterday planned to ride free Metro buses from a stop on 9th Street first three buses that stop were at capacity when they got to us we took uber to the entrance Stay till early evening had a great time with awesome people did use the Metro bus to leave Great for Green Bay.

I heard ubers were $200 last night Wow, right somebody help us we need some

People on the street type reporters.

Lisa, no disrespect to you.

But we need some reporters that were in the trenches last night, how expensive things were or were not.

Hi,

Lisa.

Hi, how are you?

Excellent, how are you?

I'm doing well.

It's going on.

Well.

Nothing compared to what's going on in Green Bay.

I mean, Green Bay has got it this week.

It is all about the NFL draft.

Everything is about

the NFL.

It's been that way for about a year, but yeah, it is.

It

really is.

It's

almost overwhelming in some ways

there.

Like my wife said, living in Green Bay, you wouldn't know the Pope died.

So yeah,

it's,

it's.

Oh.

Right next to me.

But I will,

I will say that, that.

The diocese did make it did have a reaction to the Pope's death.

So, I mean, there was some reaction.

It just got buried

page five.

Yes.

So, uh, but yeah, it's, it's a big deal, but they've done a good job.

I'm not gonna

be that guy.

Some people for whatever reason, they just want to have a bad attitude.

It's

like, come on, man.

Yeah.

But it was fun.

I mean, it was a lot.

It was

great.

It was super.

But it's just if there's so many people out there, if you're claustrophobic, kind of, it's almost like, wouldn't you agree with that, Jim?

Yeah, there's a lot of people.

I mean, 205,000 people was the official account from yesterday from the NFL.

Oh, I didn't know that.

Really?

When did you get

that?

I got that from the NFL one pass.

Yeah.

Wow.

Okay.

Thank you for that because we were trying to estimate with that how many were there.

the quote-unquote maximum capacity for the NFL Draft Stage Theater area is 125,000.

And they reached maximum capacity, like at 620 less.

Yeah, I put a thing on my Facebook where they had the big board up, we are closed down, nobody else, yeah.

And so they were trying to get people into the Lambo Bowl, which makes sense.

And then they were able to open back up about an hour later and let more people in.

I mean, I was surprised when I left and I left before the Packers actually made their draft pick.

Um, cause I wanted to kind of beat the crud say free.

There's gonna be a big, you know,

after

that, there's gonna be,

you know, and even on

Ashland, there were signs basically saying, don't go to Lambeau field.

Don't even just, no, don't, don't, don't go this way.

It's, it's over.

It's done.

Nobody else is allowed in anymore.

So yeah,

it was it

was insane in that

part of it.

There was a mass exit, but

it was a one honest to God, at least it was a nice crowd.

Hey, Jim,

if

that's the best way to put it, it was just a nice crowd.

It wasn't a heavy drinker.

Kind of let's get hammered and swear

and well, there was a lot of like teenagers, like teenagers, like 16, 17.

Yeah, a lot of kids.

12

year olds.

I thought that was great.

Yeah.

That

was

fun.

Oh, yeah.

Definitely people with the clicker there is only 203,000 we just have to make

that number Yeah,

that's what the NFL said 205,000

But it is true that They really don't know because there was no

Your what official type of thing would you do

in the in the theater?

They scan

your

tape.

Did you

see?

the snipers on top of.

Yes.

Oh my God.

Yeah.

The

legacy.

Yeah.

They're up on top there.

Really?

Oh yeah.

In the whole thing.

And both sides, you can see them standing on top of the roofs of actually cooler, cooler

lodge.

I think Nick actually posted a picture of it.

He goes, those are not like.

Yeah.

Those aren't weather vans.

No, no, that's cool.

Yeah.

Is it?

I mean, it's kind of scary, right?

I mean, I'll tell you what, there was security to the maximum.

Wasn't there though?

Oh,

yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

And the last thing they want is something.

No, right.

But there were the money that's in this thing.

Right.

Lisa.

Yes.

Talk to us.

Oh, I could talk to you about so many things.

And you guys seem focused on the draft.

Um, but you know, for new whiskey weekend this weekend, we're not focused on the draft.

Last week, we're focused really on.

superheroes because Monday is Superhero Day, National Superhero Day.

So we're focusing our episode on everyday heroes and superheroes in Wisconsin.

The Red Cross is looking for nominations for their heroes, several different categories of hero that they're looking for, not just somebody who gives blood for the Red Cross, but maybe somebody who put together a

a drive for the community.

It's all about the everyday heroes.

So we've

got that story.

We have a lot of everyday heroes throughout the area.

I mean, people do really good things here in Wisconsin.

We have that.

We have our cover story is Dean Robbins, who wrote a book on the 100 Wisconsin Idols.

So people who have inspired the state.

him and the world.

Um, let's see, what else do we have?

We have a story on the optimist club again.

Hey, hey, back up a little bit here.

Tell us again about this book.

100.

Um, the 100 idols, the Wisconsin idols.

I didn't interview Dean, Terry Barr did, so I can't get really into the nitty gritty, but he basically took 100 people and his editors told him he had to limit it to 100.

100 people throughout Wisconsin that have inspired the state, inspired the world, inspired him to do different things.

And it could be anything from an everyday hero.

who raises money for a charity to some sort of a celebrity that inspired.

Betcha Liberace is in there.

No, he's not.

He's 104.

Liberace was still relevant today.

No,

he they're talking about who?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, Lisa.

I got my mom outside of this show.

He's not my mom.

My mom bought me this book when I was in high school, the 100 most influential people.

Just that that's the title of the book.

You know,

I mean, Christ is in there, Muhammad, the guy, the penicillin guy.

Anyway, if this is the hundred most influential people that influence, you know, it's not one lane, right?

It's the whole influential people that were from here.

Yes.

Influencing music, entertainment.

He's in there.

He's overrated.

Well, he's in there.

He's overrated.

Won't you say,

Lisa?

He was a great showman,

but

he's not relevant today because it's it's

a lot of people in that book are dead, I'm sure.

Yeah, but anybody under the age of let's say 40 really won't have the connection to Liberace as anybody over the age of 40,

right?

The only reason I know Liberace so well is because my grandmother had a crush on him and watched everything she could see.

Really?

Bless her heart.

Bless her heart.

Oh,

that's awesome.

Kind of a wasted crush, but yeah, okay.

Yeah.

Exactly.

Very lusted

crush.

I think, no, I'm not going to say anything.

All right.

Well, that's cool.

I think so.

He's your, the interview is with the author on Sunday.

Hey, Lisa.

He's our cover story.

Would you do me a favor?

I will try.

Would you hook up us with him?

I think that'd be great to talk to him.

That would be fun.

You're going to

have to go through Terry on that

one.

I would love to know.

I want to know who would be the number one person.

Looking up on his book, you know, you can buy his book.

It's DeanRobbins.net is his website.

That much I can tell you.

What do you think?

No,

nobody knows Gaylord Nelson.

Absolutely.

He's

the one who

started

first day.

He's overrated.

I say Bart star.

No, you know, you know, who's going to be number

one.

Who is

somebody

out?

Yeah.

Okay.

If they go what

they may go way way way back to explorers and Jim would

you would write a separate

book?

Who do you think that'd be fun?

That's gonna be fun.

All right.

Hmm.

Do you know Lisa?

No, I did not.

I wonder if he put him in order.

I think it's already.

I wonder if he put him in order if he just like, you know, just in general, general order, alphabetical order, something like that.

But I hope he put him in order.

Bart Starr is in the book.

He is.

But I don't know exactly where.

Because I'm looking at

some of the people mentioned.

And Barty's obviously in the book.

I hope it's not too skewed towards sports.

Yeah.

Oh, I

don't

think

it

is.

I don't

think.

Hank Aaron.

I mean he is

he's in the book Hank Aaron is

yeah

am I That's cool all right, so you've got that that's on Sunday talking to

So the first half is with a DNR warden who patrols the waters.

And pretty interesting.

amazing how many drunk people pilot boats

and it's it is it's it's life preservers and it's just a lot lot and then we have another lady come on I do I do mention I don't really mention you John but I do reference you and she just talks about accidents that happen in pools she is the the

Park's director here in the city of Green Bay.

And we have three aquatic centers.

And I said, she teaches private lessons and group lessons.

And I said, I didn't, I didn't mention your name, but I said, I have a friend of mine that I have a morning show with.

So, um, I kind of threw her with the friend part.

And she said, um, I said, can I, if I buy him lessons, can you teach him how to swim?

She said, in eight weeks, he won't drown.

It's like she could teach you to

swim.

It's a long time.

I don't think that's long at

all.

Oh, I

thought you were okay can be honest I thought you're gonna bring up where I got to get pulled out of the lazy River at Wisconsin

You will I'm not afraid of water Jim.

I've just had some bad experiences

Anyway, so it's really interesting and she said young kids You know do you take them when they're like I took my kids like where they're still the diaper just floating around or just teaching when they're three or four and

Is it too old?

It's very interesting on water safety.
