Yeah.
Good morning.
And Vicki, thank you for already texting in.
Happy Tuesday.
Tuesday.
Thursday, I wish.
Tuesday.
So yes, here we are.
Green Bay 61.
It's a beautiful day out there.
So we have to get walking again.
Actually, May 1st is still a couple of days because I like to start my diet on the 1st of every May.
But here we are.
May 4, two days, right?
Today is the 29th.
Today is the 29th.
All right.
All right, I got out this morning.
It's beautiful.
61
I just get up.
So anyway, on Saturday was the Pope's funeral.
Yeah, I was there.
At least you wake up and you're ready to go.
Yeah.
But at 3.30, which is, you know, 10.30 over there.
So my brother, I don't know if I can tell the story, was at Quick Trip on Saturday.
OK.
And he works in Kimberley.
He was wearing his clerks because he had a funeral that morning.
and this lady's there and, oh, good morning, father.
And he goes, oh, how are you doing?
Good, good.
And she goes, you know, I got up and watched the Pope's funeral this morning.
That's great.
She goes, you know, that was on really early.
And he goes, oh, yeah, 330.
She goes, they probably did that because of the draft.
Well, how it is...
It's so believable.
I was telling Johnny this morning.
It's like my mom called yesterday and said, you know, what did you think of the draft?
And because she always Look after my job and I tell my mom everything.
Oh no, I think that's great.
Sometimes that's better because now like when you're free agent, you get like competition.
It's almost like being recruited all over again.
So somebody will say, Hey, we want to bring in where you give you a $5,000 to come on in.
Right.
Okay.
Um, getting on a little, Hey, this is so and so from Jackson.
We're gonna offer you 12 grand.
So that yeah, so that's a cool thing when you're free agent That is like great.
Yeah, I was so excited when I saw that
But I was just telling one thing.
So watch your big old Dan Patrick thing last night.
And he had Bob Golikon, who used to be his sidekick all the time.
Or Michael, like Bob's his brother.
Michael, okay.
And they did 17 years, I think together.
Wow.
You know, the morning show.
Okay.
And they said, and Mike Greenberg with Mike Greenberg and Mike Greenberg kind of to him kind of because they offered Dan.
To go like it's a walk because they offered Greenberg a different show.
He said you want a new lineup?
He said okay, so he dumped go like and his son which was kind of weird,
You know was it weird at first?
You know, not, you know, it goes, you know, I got to be honest.
I get up at, you know, four 15 every day for so many years.
I'll still never sleep past four 15.
And this morning I was thinking, yeah,
last night because I fell in for Khan on like nightlight.
And as I'm coming in, I get a, I get a message and you know, you're driving so you don't look at it too closely, but stopped at a train.
So I pulled it out and I was watching it.
Chimera was on a podcast.
Well, he hosted.
He hosted.
Okay.
And he's telling a story from back in the day.
And whose name shows up in the podcast, John Minow.
And the Hot Tover.
I
Yeah.
Oh, you got to hear it But it's it's a long story.
So only he only did part one But everything everything he said so far was factual to the point of now.
I'm a little bit more PO chewy
For what you guys did to me.
All right.
Yeah.
You've got to hear it and then I can continue.
Happy Tuesday, everybody.
So just from what I was seeing on Facebook last night, like that area we were pointing to got hit pretty good last night, huh?
A brother ton of pound.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Barnes were down and stuff.
Wow.
Yeah.
You could just kind of see from what you had there and that.
Just kind of how it was heading.
Like the wind pushed it or the lake breeze maybe pushed it north.
So yeah.
Happy Tuesday.
It is 61 in Green Bay, 63 in Abton, 63 in Oshkosh.
Forecast mostly cloudy this morning.
Sun later, high in the low 60s.
Perfect.
Finally went for a walk outside yesterday.
Didn't have to wear like a down coat.

to sit out you know before the priest
i'll take shrimp yep do you see the thing that's happened in norwans though no with the seafood industry the things have changed
I don't know if it's the winds or the tide or whatever.
So now it's seafood or seawater that's coming up throughout their whole supply and they can't stop it.
And a lot of those freshwater things and everything they think that they've got, you know, inland a little bit are dying off.
Oh, because now seawaters get in that's in their drinking water.
Nothing, and she was the biggest thing going.
Andre Agassiz, 55.
I read his book.
Boy, did he grow up rough.
Isn't it hard to believe he's Iranian?
Oh, I didn't know that.
And he used to dye his hair.
Hmm.
Is that something?
I just...
But his dad was really old school, really mean to him, really pushed him hard.
Kerry Wilson, 57.
Is that one of the Wilson sisters?
Daniel Day-Lewis, 68, one of the all-time great movies.
Wasn't he Last of the Mohicans?
You see that movie?
Oh man, he was unbelievable.
Was he also in Gangs of New York?
Was that Daniel Day-Lewis?
Who was the knife guy?
You ever see that movie about the start of gangs in new york like at the start of the civil war?
Oh, no, well all the irish Yeah, I'll have a different great and irish would have a gang the germans would have a gang
But he had one kid that was probably 17 and he said back to like a little carotches or something.
You know what I mean?
Just kind of every now and then do a little get on the bus.
That would be me.
My mom would be like, well, you got to have something for Johnny.
I can't carry a tune.
It can't come on.
You have to find something for Johnny.
this.
that every life must end.
As we settle on, I know someday we must go on.
Oh, I'm a lucky
started.
Hey, Willie
You know what's so amazing?
I don't know how this popped up yesterday going through things about with some old veterans.
from my books and everything and one of my guys died and he's from Green Bay I feel horrible about this but you know I'll tell you something when you don't get a daily paper and look at the obituaries you miss stuff
He had something that I told him this should probably be in the National Veterans Museum or even the Smithsonian.
or the Pearl Harbor Hall of Museum or something.
And this is no lie, because he had just come from Mass, and he was up at, I think it was Hickam Field, okay?
You know, you talk about Pearl Harbor, but on the island, okay?
So the Japanese, I'm just gonna show it to you here, kind of.
Okay, so here's how the island was, and here's where Pearl Harbor is, here's where the Air Force Base was and everything, okay?
Well, when the Japanese came in, they came in from the back, sort of, and went right over and bombed the hell out of this first, okay?
And then went and did their other stuff in Japanese said so he was walking from church right there to go for breakfast They start doing it He runs in and starts pulling out planes and different things like that trying to put out for you know, that was so anyway He was in the middle of the whole thing.
Okay.
He was there when he saw the first bomb dropped at his field So that was the first bomb dropped in the attack on Pearl Harbor.
He saw it
It was his hanger Wow, so it was all done cool down He went in and pulled out a big piece of flak from the bomb that was dropped there So I would argue he's got a piece of the first bomb dropped in the entire attack at Pearl Harbor Which is the most infamous day in our nation's history isn't that amazing the first bomb dropped in the in America's worst day ever?
He's got a piece of
Yeah.
But I'll never forget that.
Oh, it just broke my heart.
Yes.
He was like the nicest guy.
He was a typical World War two guy.
Yeah.
Okay.
Sitting there talking to him.
He goes, yeah, it's one of the first ones to build an alleyway.
Here in, uh, you know, whatever you're, and, um, he said, yeah, I, I said, it's a beautiful house.
I said, you had a real craftsman build this with wood.
We goes, yeah, I did it.
My brother and I, same thing.
Oh, you're a carpenter.
Oh, no, no, I worked in the mail.
But I just, how'd you know how to build cabinets like this?
How'd you know how to whatever?
Oh, I don't know.
My brother and I did it.
Right.
I always feel like somebody's explaining, trying to do a science, explaining that whales used to have arms because they lived on land and then moved it.
And I don't know if that's true or not, but it almost seems to have happened to our generation of men.
I know there's a lot of them out there that can do stuff.
I think like even like my mom called yesterday and asked about this thing and it and I'm like just Yeah, this is things gonna be spun that it was the greatest thing ever and I said but you know like I told you when you read that said story with that the emperor, you know has clothes new clothes People got so worked up about it that no
They're just, we're told that and everybody, remember that
Or did something?
Gee, there was a king?
And he said, the king said, I'm going to give you all this gold for doing this.
He says, no, all I need, your honor, is a grain of a kernel of wheat.
So that's all?
Yes, but could you double it every day for the rest of my life?
Absolutely.
How about the one where the bird
Welcome back.
Got a text here from Terry.
Did you see the name of the new elementary school?
Yes.
Barton Cherry Star.
Very nice.
That is so...
So cool really happy about that.
You know what we need to get on and you know, I was thinking about this too in regards to Introducing the Packard draft picks How cool would have been if Bart Starr Jr.
Was here?
Ah, wouldn't that have been a great person to do a pick?
Mm-hmm.
I mean that would have been just awesome But yeah the Bart and Cherry star I think you know what you want to be really nice if they said hey Can we have that statue of Bart Starr giving an autograph for the little kid?
Can we have that?
Put it over there put it over there and pay homage to the Bart star Think that'll happen.
I know And I don't know about you, but do you see any signs of anybody making any sort of a no even dorm?
Push to know
That got overshadowed real quick by the draft.
It did just yeah, just it was there one day and the next day it wasn't and Where'd it go?
I don't know.
Anyway, I said this to you guys out here, and I'm just gonna say it on the air I'm really proud of the work that you guys did and the rest of the team with W ISS and WGBW did to Cover the draft but not cover the draft like all the other media.
We didn't we didn't hype what was going on
you know, at ground zero, right?
We really talked about the things going on in downtown, in the non-profits that we're putting at the Booyah event, right?
The food drive that DeLorean Walls was a part of.
The Jerevanese aspect.
You guys bringing in Spencer Nolan Young to do some artwork and then donating funds from that to local charity.
That's what I'm most proud of, because we really, we focused on the city and the community.
And the things we could control.
Absolutely.
So nice job, you guys.
Thank you.
I'm okay with that.
Oh, yeah, yeah, Brian, I thought he meant the Packer Hall of Fame is donating their busts of Bart and Cherry's star to the school in 2000.
Thank you, Brian.
But I don't know, Brian, what you would think.
I still think that that beautifies.
I like that that thing of Bart Starr handing that autograph.
That's so different than every other statue you'll ever find of a sports figure or a military figure with a little kid in, you know, nor would be like showing these great poses and whatever, whatever.
And Bart Starr is like the only one, of course.
who would want or his family would want, not him playing football, but doing something else, being a great human being, giving an autograph to a little kid.
I love that about him.
That's a great
do you really think it ever will be honest you think it ever will i mean you know this city you know the green bay packers you know the city you know the mayor you know this guy you know that you know every single moving part are they gonna somehow come together like it's the pope's funeral and find a good place for those
we didn't, whatever, I think next time, if there is a next time, we just, you know, for what the city and the county and the Schwabinah put up financially, there weren't a lot of strings attached to it.
And maybe they could have leveraged it a little bit more to say, hey, look, let's have an entrance on the east side.
Um, wouldn't you think for safety concerns, Jim, even for
Well, you got to find success.
What success is to you and to me and to other it's it's different.
But success to me is, you know, economic development opportunities for small businesses.
That's success to me.
But success to the chief is your arrest.
He didn't.
I don't think he has a big concern whether station view made money or not.
Or, you know, yet.
You know, to me, in Badger State, that's important.
So, you know, was it successful?
And that's what I was telling my mom that I said, yeah, I don't know, what is successful?
Success to someone like, I would think the mayor would be, did we get a message across to the 14 million viewers or to the, of who Green Bay is?
And I, to be honest with you, I don't think we were successful in that.
I think we were very successful and Green Bay loves the Packers and the Packers love...
their fans.
I don't know if they went I don't know if the locals the okay put it this way the guys I ran into I would say about 75% of them We're guys who are big sports guys and you know, whatever whatever and I think wanted to come for the event and see the draft draft itself I don't think those were the types that would have gone back.
We're back again tomorrow morning and we're gonna back again the next day I think those you know, I think I think what happened
There's no I don't know if there's any analytics and shows I almost have a feeling that on Thursday night That was so cool that a lot of people around the state were saying let's go Well, we don't have a hotel.
Let's just go for a day And that's what I think happened I think it's it's and then the weather was kind of crappy So even more people would come out than the next day, but I do think we had such an amazing
State of Wisconsin and UP because I guarantee you 90% of the the Lions jerseys you saw around there were from the UP even at Bell in that night I ran into like eight of them I think
So I think it was a little bit more of a local thing.
Again, anecdotal, but when we were there on Saturday, you know, they, they come out and you know, and I was going, yeah, you know, go pack.
They start that chant every time.
And then how many of you have been here, you know, all three days and people always reacted.
They say anything.
Everybody's like, yeah, you know, you know, so how many people here from New York?
Yeah, you know, nobody's there from New York, but it.
A lot of people cheered when they said, how many of you have been here all three days?
I think that I'm so happy the Packers drafted somebody.
It sounds crazy, but I don't care.
I'm so happy the Packers drafted somebody the fans approved of because I remember I forget who it was.
I felt so bad for the guy who was he was watching with his parents and his friends and family and they
showed the crowd of Packer fans, and it was a whole booing thing.
Remember that?
It's like, here's this poor kid, so excited, the greatest day of his life, and so if they had drafted an offensive lineman from South Dakota State, it might have been that whole thing, just a cascade of booze.
So I was really happy for that, to be honest with you.
I thought Packer fans and everybody,
You're the most well-behaved for that big of a group I've ever seen in my lifetime.
Right.
It's like summer fest busts, you know, go there, then get on and then go home.
And you know, I will say this to though, you know, I don't think we
The whole, you gotta do it one time.
You gotta do anything.
I mean, wouldn't you, like, I would love to build a house because the first time I built a house and you live in it for a while, you realize what you would change.
But you gotta build that first one before you really know.
And now in respect with this, when we were talking about events like downtown here and especially different restaurants and going to and everything, there was so much food over there at the draft and around a one mile block.
I don't know if many people walked away hungry.
No.
No.
As I said, you know, at New Community Shelter, we got a lot of donations.
And we were grateful for that.
But, you know, just as a capitalist, I would have preferred we didn't get any donations and people made money.
Because I think that was part of the reason we brought the draft here.
But I'm glad we got the donations.
There was plenty of opportunity.
What were there?
16 food trucks on the east side?
There are
You can't support everybody, but Yeah, I think it was nice.
I again, I told you I asked me yesterday what I would give it for a grade I said a bee and I'll stick to that I think it was and I don't know anything about the draft I don't even know who we drafted but in terms of just the The concept having that here the invent I think that was I would give that a bee
And the way I judge success is that everybody benefits.
You mean still on this?
Well, some of those guys went.
I know, I mean, still on your budget.
No, no, no, I mean.
We wrote emails.
Was that from the golden shoebox on your bed?
We wrote emails.
Did that Milton guards the whole night when you're not home?
We wrote emails.
We wrote emails.
I thought it was something like that.
I'm not sure what she was talking about back here.
They really, really had, so.
So that would be a junket.
Yeah.
That'd be a campaign junket.
Brian says statues should go to City State.
I agree.
Yeah, that's
the time.
I know the mayor back at us.
Might only be hearing a beautiful Tuesday morning.
How is it in the outlying areas with those storms that came through last night?
Did you see, Todd?
I was up late here last night.
Actually, I was just, I was working on my book and reading and doing whatever, whatever.
So I didn't get to bed till about 12.
Um, but I was kept expected.
So I actually talked to Julian Manitowoc and the power was out down there.
So
and I was like wait So then I went to the lady and I'm like hey, I just went to your car wash and I go through it all the time Okay, what that monthly pass which I've had it since they opened anyway, can you say and she know mother pretty they've got that down They've got that down.
They've got that thing in the door and the no that ain't gonna happen
Even if it would, wouldn't happen with me, but I mean, even if you have a friend who would do that, it's hard to transfer that, John.
Okay.
So, but she goes, well, wait a minute, I'll go.
Not that I would.
Of course not.
I was just checking if their security was up to stuff.
What I thought, this was, anyway, so I said, when I went, oh, okay, so she comes back and she goes, I'll go find it.
She comes back and she goes, here it is.
But that wasn't exactly the point.
No, because it's more than that.
It comes off.
There's a whole apparatus to that thing.
So I had to take it to the garage and get it fixed because Brittany Storm scared me that we're going to have all this rain, rain, rain.
So anyway, I got that fixed.
So that was my.
But they're smarter than I was, but their customer service skills are great.
They are, those kids, they look you in the eye and they're super nice.
And so I like that.
And as I said, with the draft, the days, the couple of days that we were there, those people couldn't have been nicer.
I agree.
They were, whoever trained those people.
And I think, who is that company that?
Is that Delaware?
Yeah.
Okay.
Delaware North.
Man, that is Disney.
Those guys knew what they were doing.
Although I gotta be honest with you, you missed some of the best food you could ask for by not being at Bellens, Bellens Sports Medicine thing.
Yeah.
They had this brisket.
And you know, you say brisket, okay, when you cook brisket right, just that right bit of the burnt, you know, like was it the butt ends or whatever it's called?
Yeah.
I mean, it literally melts in your mouth, doesn't
Friday, Friday.
That complex they have upstairs there.
I know we talked about it, but it's, you talk about state of the art.
You're, you'd think you're in an NFL teams, you know,
It was it was their own private type of thing whereas you got 12 year old kids using this facility Local athletes or anybody that gets some kind of you don't even have to be an athlete I mean you could you know fall down the stairs and whatever whatever and that's where they would send you It is so top the line.
It's incredible.
I don't know if people realize what we've got here Orthopedically if you're if you're a young athlete or whatever you are or old person needs a new hip.
Holy cow.
Is that a one-stop shop?
They fly in private just to go to that place.
I mean, that is an unbelievable facility that we have right here in Green Bay, like the medical college.
And, you know, we've got one of the fastest growing technical colleges in the United States right here in Green Bay.
And I just we got this best fish hatchery.
I don't fish, but right.
That's what it's called, right?
Fish when people fish a lot or when there's a lot of
like to fish a fish hatchery once We used to know that would no no no no no no no we had a fish hatchery Up in outside of Marquette.
It was for Lake Superior first.
It was a real big time Okay, and I mean it was constantly
field trips or whatever, and you'd walk along and you'd see these, you know, salmon that are this big.
That's awesome.
It is awe-inspiring when you go to that thing.
Yeah.
