Was it a let down a little bit after the draft?

And we were so excited about the draft.

We went to the draft.

It was a lot of hours on Thursday, a lot of hours on Saturday.

It was a whole day.

Was that it?

And now it's over.

It's gone.

Something.

They're taking the roadblocks down.

I

think it was just a lot of...

Energy all you know and even before that like you guys had the pizza thing you had the thing at

a

chill, right?

So there really wasn't any doubt and then we really haven't had really nice weather this week.

No,

What I bought, I mean, it's legitimate.

Paulin honey tallow And that's what I'm using on my face

How's that made

John Maino

with bee honey?

I know what do you know, but I bet he could do it.

Yeah, it sounds

John Maino

pretty I think it's probably just like Vaseline and and and that mixed together.

What'd you think?

Yeah, what did you have to get that approved?

John Maino

That'd be a nice sidekick.

I know

he

gave me some really nice bee honey beard.

John Maino

Okay.

Yeah,

John Maino

I really like that.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah

That

John Maino

works really

well.

Keep it soft.

John Maino

Well, your beard came back fast.

I have to trim it again this weekend.

That'll be the fifth time.

I'm keeping everything short for

John Maino

now.

I couldn't grow a beard in 20 years.

Stop snoring week.

I saw that.

Gosh darn it.

I keep forgetting.

I keep forgetting.

I'm going to get the folks in from HME and get on you about having

John Maino

that test done.

And it's one of those things.

Yep.

You know, two things I got to get done medically that I just, it's like, why don't I do it?

Have you ever gotten a shingles shot?

Yes.

I gotta get one of those.

It's painful.

Is it?

Mm-hmm.

Oh.

There's a hangover to that.

It's like the next day.

So it is real good.

It might be a little sore.

That's very sore.

Really?

Yes.

That is not... Where do you get it?

Like

John Maino

in the

arms?

John Maino

In the arms?

In the arms?

No, but I mean... Any drugstore?

I didn't know it's... Just put it in your stomach or anything.

No, I just put it in my

arm.

John Maino

I gotta get one of

those.

Pick your left

John Maino

arm.

But aren't they like $600?

Man, I don't know.

Oh, I was a wild boy.

I think those are 10-year shots.

Okay, think about that

John Maino

David Beckham is 50 the rock is 53 Larry Gatlin 77 Do you ever have them at the Gatlin?

That seems like that would be a perfect brothers.

Oh, they were

awesome.

John Maino

That seems a perfect type of group for that venue,

right?

Yeah.

Oh, they're here a couple times.

John Maino

Yeah, I could jagger 80 years old, right?

Cubs at Brewers tonight 635 on W ISS got another text here from Terry.

Did you guys see the movie green and gold?

I finally saw that that appears cinema last night Figures the Packers season movie yada yada would end on a far of interception How many times do we see that from far of Terry?

What you think of the movie though Terry?

Let us know what you think of the movie Night

yeah, I didn't see it.

Yeah

John Maino

You should though.

I know that's on my list the only thing like I said the only negative

My problem with movies, like I told you, is to fall asleep.

John Maino

It's not a fast-paced

movie.

John Maino

I'm going to be honest with you.

I'll be out half hour.

John Maino

I think you would.

I think you'd fall asleep on this one.

I don't like movies.

Vicky says TGIF, fellas.

Thank you, Vicky.

Happy Friday to you as well.

All right, we've got Mark Houston coming up.

Bells Sports Medicine.

Man, I'll tell you what.

What a week he had,

huh?

I bet he had a long week this week,

John Maino

too.

Plus he slept in his office.

What?

He did.

I

John Maino

think a couple of

nights, yeah.

John Maino

So that doesn't, no, I

don't care.

John Maino

Have you ever done that?

Oh, yeah.

I have to.

It's weird.

Yes.

It's

weird.

It's weird.

John Maino

It's weird.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, if it's like, you know, what is it?

It's midnight, one o'clock, you got to be back.

You know, it's like, look, I'm just staying here tonight.

And I always had to change the clothes there too.

So you have to change a lot of clothes, right?

Just tie and shirt.

John Maino

Well, I had, you know, we had a show.

I had a, well, that little bathroom I got locked into.

Had

John Maino

a shower

yeah

John Maino

in it.

So, you know, it was kind of convenient that that part but Michael says the single shot is a two-part shot the second will knock you on your butt

Michael I Don't know that I had to I just I know I didn't like that and the guy said it's gonna be this is gonna be a little painful tomorrow And it was more than a little almost called him, but then I thought well, you know, maybe it's me But it is just prepared for that.

You have to like to take you don't have to take the day off of work, but

It's not like you get me get other shots.

It's you never feel a thing But that when you'll remember

John Maino

got this one thumbs up to the green and gold movie.

Okay.

How much is the pier theater?

It's like, oh, you know, hey, you know what?

Actually, there's a movie out.

I want to see it's called war or something.

But anyway, I didn't even realize that It's only like $7 on Tuesdays to go to Tuesdays.

Wow.

No, that's the day to go.

Mm-hmm.

Put that on your calendar.

John Maino

I know, right?

Yep.

I mean, it's half price then is it probably

yeah

But the good thing about our job is we could go to an early show.

John Maino

Absolutely.

See, if I go at seven, eight at night, it'd be tough.

John Maino

I don't like that the seven or eight nights either, in a way, because you're nice in, especially in the winter, you know, you're all day and those, yeah, those recliners,

they are not uncomfortable.

John Maino

That's good.

They are not uncomfortable.

No, that's any reserve, the ones you want.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's all I like it.

I go to movies, but.

I haven't been going quite well.

John Maino

I mean they've got canned beer.

It's like incredible in that way.

It is the expendable money.

Those things are still high though.

And I know, and I had people that worked in that business, they said you got to do that or you're going to close down the theater.

The concessions?

Yeah.

Oh

yeah, they have to pay so much for the movie.

John Maino

That's where the money comes from.

I had once my great friend Chuck Wellins the other day and his dad, he grew up in a gas station.

Chuck lived in the gas station upstairs and everything.

We were talking about that because my brother's gas station whatever so people don't realize if you didn't have a garage You'd make there'd be no gas stations back in those days because there was so little money to be made from the gas itself right that you had to have a mechanic and that's where you made your money

Yeah, you wonder you look at quick trip.

John Maino

Yeah,

I mean, I don't know how much the revenue is gas and how much is other things

John Maino

but

even if it's let's just pick a number

2575 but you look at the profits.

It's a hell of a lot more on the inside than it is

John Maino

no question No question about it.

So anyway, so that's what's going on in this Friday.

Um, you know Todd Lisa I told her this to push does a nice job putting things together.

I mean you hand her something and she will

make magic out of

it.

So you went to the, uh, the wall, uh, dedication down in, uh, Appleton on Wednesday, got some great audio, got some great, uh, pictures and stuff.

If you want to see it yourself and get some of those video interviews that we played yesterday on the show, you can go to wgbw.fm or wis.s.fm and right in the news, you can click on it and see all of it.

It was, it's, it was an amazing site.

It was that wall is unbelievable.

John Maino

It's really cool.

And you know, I've, you know, people always ask me if you've been to the moving one, you know, when they take the, uh,

the Vietnam wall to, you know, and they have it, you know, numerous, numerous times.

And it's great.

And like people say, it's, it's something else.

But this one with their pictures, does that put it in a different

perspective?

You had a couple of close up shots of some of them.

Yeah.

Oh my God, that kind of looks like my dad when he was younger,

John Maino

you know, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely.

And you know, just so many small towns and just, you know, I mean, man.

1200 it was a little over 1200 I believe 1200 31 how do we

recognize those that we lost after the war because of the war

John Maino

how do you do

that

John Maino

yeah because that's a factor too you know although I you know I was this this is still something that you it got me so mad the other day for a minute because one of the guys on the thing from Green Bay went to Promontory High School killed in Vietnam

It's a GMAC, you know the GMAC appliance family.

Okay, it's John GMAC and and really great friends with his sister and his brother and everybody but anyway I still think it's the miscarriage of military justice that He wasn't he was killed and he's on the wall and listed as being killed in Vietnam, right?

The government will not give him a purple heart They won't give him a purple heart and I've even helped fight it and Mike Gallagher fought for them

I mean, and I've got the letters of rejection.

And because here's, they go out, they find their, it was right at the Cambodian border.

Okay.

They find this cache of stuff where another Vietcong North Vietnamese are in the area and they hide their stuff.

All right.

Um, they set what they called a mechanical ambush.

They set mines up and claim more mines and all these kinds of things with, you know, trip wires.

So we're okay.

And then they got back and waited to, you know, for the lines that are come in.

Middle of the night pouring rain the captain nothing's going on captain says we need to set up some trip flares out there Okay, so he takes a different group than the one that neither putting there.

Yes Well, what happens right?

Okay, I think three of them got killed including John.

Okay?

They won't give him a purple heart any of those guys Yeah, I don't know the But yeah, this has been killed in action.

Yeah, I mean it's like really

Yeah, and they try and I mean I've got the paperwork and Mike Gallagher tries and you know Mike Gallagher back today if he couldn't get something done

Especially the military.

John Maino

He had

some clout with the military.

Total

John Maino

clout.

Yeah, so anyway that always breaks my heart that didn't his dad until her dad died a couple of years ago They were still fighting for it, but

yeah that happened with a another person.

I know that There they was tried but then when the dad dies or somebody that when the leader dies it kind

John Maino

of

Yeah, I don't know what what more avenues they have

because he probably I mean

John Maino

it went right up to like the I mean maybe now I don't but anyway, it's just kind of heartbreaking for the family.

It's like really he lost his

Williams calling me a lightweight

John Maino

I had it with no pain or next-day problems.

Everybody is different Shingrex is usually free if you're on Medicare Shingles is one of the most painful things you will ever experience do not put it on that is true Williams.

Yeah, I've known some people that have had it so it's free

I don't think so.

You're a Medicare

guy,

John Maino

aren't you?

But the hospital won't do it.

The hospitals won't take them.

I don't know.

Every time I've gotten to my checkups, they always ask me, did you get a shingle shot?

And I'm like,

no.

Thank God it's not dental work.

John Maino

I know, right?

You know what?

Hey, you know what?

You know what?

What?

I think I'm going to live without a tooth.

You're doing fine,

John Maino

aren't you?

I'm doing fine.

Yeah.

John Maino

I'm doing totally fine.

Yeah.

I know, you gotta watch for infection.

Yeah, I don't know.

John Maino

They're talking to

somebody

John Maino

about it.

But I thought, you know, you'd have this weird, weird feeling of, oh my god, Will Gatlin, brothers?

Will Gatlin, Will Giamma says you can go to Walgreens and get the shot.

Yeah.

That's

John Maino

where I got one.

We don't have any Walgreens around here.

Blue grasses.

Midwestern blue grass mavens.

So that's the

watering hole.

A lot of parking out there.

Great place.

Yeah, we... They

John Maino

have a lot of... It's an underrated place.

They've raised so much money over the years.

Oh man,

they did that Special Olympics thing out there.

John Maino

It's

mind boggling.

Yeah.

Mind boggling.

What if you had a blues slash blues grass?

band.

So like half the songs are kind of slow,

John Maino

right?

And then

all of a sudden every other song or every two songs you throw in one of those.

John Maino

I like it.

I like it.

I like it a lot.

It's people

John Maino

bathroom breaks.

I

don't

I wonder if there's people that love both.

Oh, I'm sure.

There's people love the blues.

I'll tell you.

There's people who love the blues.

Oh my God.

And then bluegrass.

Maybe.

Yeah, I don't

John Maino

I think of it when I think of the blues in a movie.

Yeah.

Remember.

You boys mind if we dance with your dates?

That's fine!

Go ahead!

So another thing that is going on in the world?

Ouch.

Now what did you just do?

No,

you're fine.

Get one of those hockey masks on him.

It's like we're living with Michael Jackson right like if you touch his nose

John Maino

It's just like right there in the thing.

Yeah, I don't it's fine.

Yeah,

John Maino

put some tallow on it

That'll yeah clean it right

John Maino

up.

Okay.

So one of the things that's still going on that won't die in sports

Okay, right now it's still it's almost getting bigger the shooter Sanders thing Yeah, a lot more stuff is coming out where he went into a couple of the meetings Okay, and he the other okay.

Well here.

What do you think of this play?

What would I have you know?

He's like, I don't know No, no cuz you know what I'm probably not your guy.

Yeah, I heard he said that to a couple of different teams

and you know, I'm playing and that's yeah, wow

John Maino

Yeah, like walked out on a couple like nah, you know what don't draft me

type of things yet

What that means is, I gotta run this thing if I'm here.

You know what I mean?

Like,

John Maino

yeah, yeah.

I mean, it's, it's getting worse for him.

It's crazy, isn't it?

Just a kid, didn't he?

Yeah,

John Maino

just a kid.

Just a kid, but it's amazing how they just kind of...

But, I mean, and I'm not saying how I feel about this because I don't know all the details.

But you have some kids like that, and then you have some kids who are just...

They'll do anything

John Maino

to play.

Anything for the chance.

They'll go anywhere and do whatever's asked of them.

And they're just blessed to have the opportunity.

You know?

I think that transcends to employees once in a while.

No question.

Let's have a

little discussion about

John Maino

that.

I'm

talking about when we were younger.

John Maino

Not now.

But I deal

with kids like that.

John Maino

That's a hard one to overcome when you start that way.

You know what I mean?

You can turn that way once you're whatever, whatever.

But man, to start out that way, it doesn't get a lot better because then now if he fails, you know, if he gets a shot and whoo.

Well, and as a coach and a team, aren't you thinking, are we going to be able to manage

John Maino

this?

Absolutely.

Are we going to be able

to, you know, and people like.

Rodgers have shown that sometimes it can get out of control the way teams

John Maino

teams have put up with a lot and it seems like there's a breaking point a few years ago okay with even like an Antonio Brown remember and then he turned out to be a total whack job

Kathryn Lake

even as

John Maino

a regular you know off the field now I mean horrific um and they so they got rid of him um what's his name um oh god he's been hurt a lot ever since Odell Beckham jr were his dad

would go on these talk shows and rip the quarterback because he wasn't throwing his son the ball enough and everything.

Teams don't want, you know what I mean?

It's like, okay, you better be so good for teams nowadays to overlook that stuff because that can be so incredibly harmful to an organization.

I don't think they're going to take the risk.

No, that's what I mean with the money they invest these guys.

I

don't even know how good, I don't think it can be that good.

Even way, way back in the day, I remember talking to our GM.

the guy from Minneapolis that nobody liked.

That

John Maino

played here?

No, he didn't play here.

They were going to get him.

He was got an attitude.

John Maino

Oh, Randy

Moss.

Randy Moss.

Yeah, same thing.

John Maino

Yeah, great.

Exactly right.

Same thing.

They're

like, look, our locker room can't handle this guy.

I'm like, come on.

We could have used him.

You got to admit.

John Maino

But

they passed on the talent because of the attitude.

Yeah?

You're right.

But yeah,

John Maino

it was a

good move.

John Maino

Yeah.

All right, quick break.

Back at this.

and left me to die like a fox on the run like a

fox on the run well everybody knows

From local stories to local voices, we're shining a spotlight on what matters right here in northeast Wisconsin.

It's more than just talk.

It's about connecting with the community.

This is Mino and the Mayor.

Now, here's John Mino and Jim Schmidt.

John Maino

Hey, thank you very much.

Welcome back.

Good morning, guys.

Green Bay Natural Hard Bodies Championships up and listening.

Thanks, guys.

See you at the Meyer Theater.

Paul Hatler.

They were on here, and that is going to be a great show that starts tomorrow at

I can get the time on that because I think it was 1130.

The door is open.

Let me look that up.

I got that Paul.

It's in my stack somewhere.

John Maino

Paul, give us a quick call.

Yes.

Give us the time again.

I know it's the... You know what I was shocked at?

920-2640606 is the number, by the way.

John Maino

You get that?

This

John Maino

is what I've

done.

That's that's for us.

John Maino

Oh, I

got

you.

I got

you.

920-2640.

That's

John Maino

her studio.

All right.

Give us a call.

Yeah.

But when

John Maino

I said cover that, like I said, in Arizona, it was real big out there.

Yeah.

All right.

But it was like probably lots of them were juicy.

Not even a question.

Oh, yeah.

They don't do that.

Yeah.

So I'm surprised.

These are not heavy people for bodybuilding, which is really unusual.

But the

strength is

John Maino

there.

Yeah.

Yes, it's not the big bulk.

It's just the tone and definition, I would imagine.

I've been working on my tone and definition.

I was just

gonna say, it's not like you know what you're talking

John Maino

about there.

Yeah, I do.

I do.

I was the program director for a morning show and the gal on the show actually decided she was gonna do that.

So she trained for a whole year and we followed her during that whole process from start to finish and she actually won one

John Maino

of

her competitions.

So I'm just throwing it out there.

If one of you wants to...

John Maino

They have a senior circuit.

They do have a senior

John Maino

circuit.

Wow.

Well,

John Maino

you're

from like they're going to be back in a year.

What's what is it?

Yeah,

John Maino

I mean, right.

Okay.

I did wine all week about pulling that muscle in my back.

Yep.

The one day on the universal machine here.

The little thing that would that be a factor you think it's that's a bad muscle to hurt too, man.

I think, you know what?

I might do this.

Oh, my.

What?

I'm not joking.

I might do this.

You are going to, first of all, whatever.

Okay, go ahead.

John Maino

What a great way to lose weight.

Oh, there's a lot of upside to it.

You just gotta do it.

I'm thinking about this.

All

John Maino

right.

I'm

thinking about this.

Okay, here's Paul just texted in.

So this is what you get at the Myers Theater, which is great.

It's good.

I love the sight lines.

The parking there is great.

Everything about it.

11 a.m.

is prejudging.

So that's when they come out and kind of parade themselves out there and do other little fancy poses.

And at three o'clock is when

it really gets going with the competition and kind of some crowd engagement there.

John Maino

That's cool.

But also the thing I think would be pretty cool to watch is when the Mandy was it was sitting right next to me here.

I mean, the whatever the first time that her.

John Maino

No, she's one that she's got her teachers kickboxing.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

OK.

John Maino

OK.

But it.

But anyway, I mean, it sounds like it's very artistic, almost, where you have your specific music.

Molly, Molly, Molly.

I'm sorry, Molly.

Yeah, they pick their own music,

John Maino

which is cool.

I think that'd be kind of cool to see how they do that, how they incorporate that.

I'm all through with barbershop music.

Get them on the jam.

I think it'd be even better if you

were out

there

performing

John Maino

and singing at the same time at the same time.

Sharks and cowboy boots.

Yes.

I think that would work.

I like

it.

John Maino

I move on.

Michael says, uh, Baron Sorrell of the Packers, uh, the Texas pick class act.

Shadoor is a punk.

Says Michael.

I, I, I hate using that word on somebody.

Okay.

No, I like that word, but sometimes there's one word that can, you know what I mean?

And you just kind of know, you know what I mean?

I

think that's a good word.

I think that, I don't think there's too, what does that mean?

People know what that means.

Guy's a punk.

You know, it's like cocky.

So many things this morning I never thought I heard Jim say.

Guy's a punk.

And then

also,

John Maino

this is where they come out on

stage.

John Maino

This is when they

preen.

But I was actually thinking of Baron when I was talking about the fact that some people are just so thankful they get drafted and all that kind of stuff.

He was the one I was thinking of.

Absolutely.

His grace and thanks to his family and the team

John Maino

and the town, goodness sakes.

I'm gonna, I'm gonna lower them down with bees wax or bees pollen.

I really am.

There's are gonna glue you talk about effervescent.

My thighs could be unbelievable.

Do they have a competition just for thighs?

Todd, you know, like you, when Tom has, when Todd has that smirk, nothing good.

Cause I'm

trying not to say anything cause I'm using all this audio for a promo.

John Maino

Cause

the John saying he wants to do something with his thighs

and

then using the term effervescence.

Yes.

What does that mean, John?

Glowing.

It's glowing.

It means glowing.

I thought that was what you get when you pop, like, Elka cells are in a jar.

Isn't that effervescence?

I think that what effervescence means is that it's showy.

I don't think it's glowing as much as it is.

It's showy.

It's effervescent.

Well, there's

John Maino

different

types of effervescence.

John Maino

Oh, gee.

There is.

There's different levels.

I can't use my phone, but I'm going to look that up.

John Maino

Text here, I just threw up in my mouth over John's thigh

comment.

John Maino

I got great thighs.

Can't hide them.

Great calves.

All right.

Anyway, that's coming out.

That's Saturday.

Okay.

Yeah.

Um, one last thing about the draft thing.

Yeah.

Okay.

Um, in regards to this, you know, there's some business.

That's the one John Johnny's own

that Terry sent that

John Maino

in.

Thank you, Terry.

John Maino

Thank you.

Um, in retrospect, in retrospect, in retrospect, and again, you're not talking about, you know, I know you guys at the shelter are getting a lot of stuff.

Okay.

And whatever.

But what I'm saying is, um,

If there was coming again, let's say it was you know, hey, you've got a five-year contract or whatever What would you as a guy now seeing the big picture seeing the inside workings of it to sing the good What what if you could have a mulligan a do-over and not even saying you're kind in there, but just enjoy what would you do different?

Okay, couple things.

When is it's not over?

Because it's still being talked about quite a bit.

John Maino

And we have

Steve Grenier who runs DPW and was pretty instrumental in a lot of this stuff.

Because he was in the security meetings because a friend of mine told me that.

He's coming on our show next week just to give him his assessment.

And I think that's a really, really good question for him.

Because he's probably, I mean, he gets paid plenty.

He's retiring.

He may consult a little bit.

And maybe he'll just go to the next NFL drafts and say, you know what?

this is I tell you what he has said no because I

John Maino

came back

you know just people say you know oh when

John Maino

you were in office you mean

no no no just even there okay even there he like somebody might say well let's do this and this and he would say no he's not he's very very confident guy at Michigan Tech Eagle Scout I mean he's he he can say no but I'm gonna ask him

if he thought it was great, because he was very much looking forward to this.

And he said, I'm going to do the draft and I'm going to retire after that.

So yeah, he'll come on next week.

But what would I do different?

You know, first of all, even before we get to that, like, was it successful?

And I, as I told you the other day, you got to define success.

And what does that mean to John Minow?

Was it Jim Schmidt?

Was it mean to Eric Ingerich?

What does it mean to Troy Stuckenbach?

What does success mean?

And my world of success is...

you know, economic development.

It just is.

I just, I love that.

I try to do that.

I think it's important.

And I'm not sure we realize that to the fullest extent, but I don't know.

I mean, I just, it's what I read in the paper and here.

John Maino

I think we misread

the crowd and

John Maino

not size wise.

They're interested.

They wanted to come here.

What was it?

99% of the people over there were wearing a team jersey, right?

They're hardcore football people.

God bless your supper clubs.

God bless your whatever, whatever.

We want football.

And you know, we want to drive.

It's that kind of a crowd.

Yeah.

That's, that's what I assume.

And another thing that we totally misjudged here in a little bit.

Like we were talking about, you know, having supper club tours and taking, okay, but the draft was at night.

Do you know what I mean?

Right.

So that was prime entertainment.

John Maino

Exactly.

Exactly.

Yeah.

Right.

And if you're doing that all day, it might be tough to get out of bed and

get rolling the next day to

take a two hour tour

or something like that.

Absolutely.

But I think the other thing that the communities were engaged to do was try to book in this thing that granted the draft is Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

But you got to do events on Wednesday to get them in.

And then you got to do events on Saturday when they stay

John Maino

over.

And

that didn't

John Maino

really.

No, but you know what?

And I think in our mind, we had Super Bowl.

How the Super Bowl was good, but there was nothing going I mean there's a lot of stuff going on during Super Bowl week But nothing that you had to go to like with this draft there if you came to town from Cleveland You had to be in the draft campus because that's why you came here with the Super Bowl.

You can kind of take your pick Well today, what should we do?

What should we do tomorrow night?

Yeah, you know more of that thing I think we assumed it's gonna be more of a that type thing But the way the NFL controls those tight those time spots Yeah, that's it man.

So that

In retrospect, again, I think more work should have been done for economic activity outside the square.

Okay.

And I don't know what could have been done.

Maybe the NFL would have had to advertise it more.

I don't know exactly what happened.

The other thing I would have done, and I don't, you know, I just want to say I went to the draft.

I love the draft.

I'm glad it was here.

But I don't, I think we missed a little bit of an opportunity.

I told you that lady I talked to.

I've talked to a lot of people, but this lady I talked to, and she's,

didn't go to the draft, he's got a cane, and she goes, I watched it, and I said, you watched it?

Oh yeah, I didn't miss any of it.

I said, what?

She goes, I thought it was just great.

Just great.

It's just, I'm like, what did you get out of the draft?

Besides the draft, like the other, all the downtime.

She goes, I think the message that I got was that Green Bay loves the Packers.

They love football, and she goes, is that the Packers love the fans?

Breaking news?

And she was serious about

John Maino

that.

I know.

Sorry, I mean, that's neat, you know, but

yeah.

Don't you think we could have had Dr. Hansenker, right?

Runs the medical college.

Couldn't have he introduced somebody, the chancellor introduced somebody, the guy that runs the bass tournament introduced somebody, like get more of a message out there than just Green Bay loves the Packers.

John Maino

Yeah.

Don't you think people kind of know that?

John Maino

Yeah, I wish they would have brought back Bart Starr Jr.

though.

You know, he's the last member of the family.

I think that would have been a great thing and now with the school being named after his family and everything like that.

I thought he would have been a perfect trick.

The place would have gone crazy for from Packer fans.

It was crazy.

I thought it was great.

I just, you know, we had the world stage 14 million people are watching us.

John Maino

It's good TV.

It really is good TV, although I get tired of some of the commentators who just...

Well, they're filling in stuff, and why can't we fill it in with our

community?

I would have liked to see some of these shows do feature stories on the community to do that fill time.

Maybe it's only a two-minute piece, but it's about downtown.

It's

about the Broadway district.

It's about the...

You know, whatever.

The mile of music.

I mean, just a little bit further, and I just think, you know...

14 million people is a lot, a lot of people.

And you get just a percent of those people to come and see us over the next couple of years.

But I don't know, we don't control that, but I thought that was a great opportunity that was kind of, I mean, I was, well, you were there too, but I mean, every time they came out was, you know, hey Packers, cheese curds, and you

John Maino

know, it's

like, okay, I know that.

Tell me something I don't know.

John Maino

All right, got text here, oh my.

Uber rider in my car hears guys say I wonder if they have a competition for just thighs They cracked up.

I said I know that guy Mike Cowboy Dave says effervescent means fizzy

Yeah, so if you're saying you're you're looking you're looking fizzy.

John Maino

Yeah luminescent

That's better.

John Maino

That's better.

That's better luminescent,

but you like that essence.

That's yeah,

John Maino

that's what I'm going for remember George Costanza when George when

Jarrah's trying to step for a date.

What about her skin is it effervescent?

It's a luminescent remember that do you remember what about her hair remember?

No, you don't remember all right

John Maino

So...

Not good at downloading things.

Yeah, I've learned not that great at downloading things Okay, one other thing.

I just want to get back to it again first of all Lisa did a really nice thing that's on our Facebook From the ceremony they had for the right kias in out in the other day She does such a nice job at grabbing those types of things.

Yes, okay, and I went down I shot the stuff but she Todd we're

Tell everybody where they can find that right now.

Again, you can find it on our social media.

You can search for 97.9 WGBW or W ISS.

You can also go to the websites in the news section.

It's there.

There's great pictures.

There's the great story.

There's great video on there.

So and.

The pictures are really good, John.

You did a nice job of grabbing.

John Maino

Can you play one of the interviews at all?

Do you think, Todd?

Do you have one handy?

Maybe later.

OK.

Just give people an idea of what we're talking about here with that.

But it was, you know, every family I found had a story.

You know what I mean?

Every one of them had a story.

I mean, a serious story behind it.

And it's like, wow.

They lost a son or a brother.

Yeah.

John Maino

But I mean, even just, which is horrific, horrific, horrific.

Not much gets worse than that.

But even like the one guy who

He survived a year fighting in Vietnam and the first thing he's told when he gets home is that his brother just been killed in Vietnam

You know, I mean just things that and some of the guys you talked to like they hadn't seen these guys.

What's

John Maino

your face is a great friend Chuck

Yeah,

John Maino

found the the first guy he had to put in a body bag and it's

his commander.

John Maino

Yeah, and it bothered him so much

Touching a dead and the guys said you get used to it, right?

And then unfortunately he did and he found the guy's face there hadn't seen him since the day he put him in the body bag Wow, you know what I mean?

So it's just like oh, that's when I say where you know another as Horrific as that is there's there's other elements sometimes that you know really come into it tell the whole story Yeah, I mean every every one of those all twelve hundred and thirty one There was a story to be told a serious story to be told of that family

from that history of that.

So I want to say this about that particular story, but other stuff too.

We do the show Monday through Friday, right?

But there's so much more content that comes out of these buildings with the team that we have.

If you haven't checked out our website, you should go there.

If you haven't signed up for our newsletters, the newsletters go out every Tuesday and Friday, right?

You get a list of what's going on in the community.

You get a snapshot of one of our great

Shows sometimes it's mine on the mayor.

Sometimes it's lean local.

Sometimes it's newest go weekend, whatever it might be There's a lot of good stories that are being told not just here on the air, but on that website.

This is a

different

radio company It's different and what's cool about this radio companies that you can just go back if you missed it.

Yeah Download

John Maino

it right

like they we were there on my show you just go to Spotify and people because not everybody Can do this at this exact

John Maino

time although a lot of

people can it's nice that

And even for us, you know, to go back and

John Maino

listen to it.

So it's, yeah, I like the way they do it.

And the blogs, everything about this company is, it's more than just one.

Getting out local news.

What's going on in your community?

It's more than just radios, what I'm saying.

Yep.

In fact, coming up this weekend on New Wisco Weekend, May has a lot of special days.

We know May Day.

Did you know May 3rd is Paranormal Day?

did not know that tomorrow's paranormal day.

So you

John Maino

guys were

discussing that.

We talked about that.

She did a little interview with me on that.

It's also a bike month.

And so there's a story on biking and getting ready for biking for the

John Maino

season.

I think your neighbor's place is doing something this week too, where I bought my bike from actually.

Hey, do me a favor.

Do you ever see him anymore?

You see him every day.

Ask

John Maino

him if I could trade.

Ask if I could bring down my seat and just make a trade if they have a more of a gel one than I could wear.

You got his number.

I don't have his number.

Wear his seat.

Why?

Why?

John Maino

Wear your

seat.

John Maino

I need a bigger jowl.

Yeah.

So we feature the flukies in that, and then I'll just say that that show airs twice on the weekends, once at 8 o'clock on Saturday morning.

If you missed that, it's also on at 11 o'clock.

And on Sunday, and as Jim mentioned, you can also listen to it anytime on Spotify and all that kind of stuff.

John Maino

And we were mentioning about the event Wednesday in Appleton at Richmond.

I would like to do more of that stuff, so this summer.

You know, if people have things going on, let me know.

I'd like to come out there and cover some of those and, you know, post them.

And you've got a show on Sunday, Lean Local.

It's

about the Pope.

There's a good one.

They're all good ones.

This is about the conclave.

We had Father John Girotti, who is the vicar general of our diocese, 16 counties.

And like, he's the number two guy.

And he actually just knows so much about this.

He's been in Rome so many times.

And just the secrecy of this, we went back to the basics.

Why do we even have a Pope, you know?

And why isn't there an American Pope?

You know, his answer is good on this.

I asked him, I said, why?

We never, all these Italians, which it should be geographically, but now, you know, the bishop has, I mean, the Pope has appointed many, many cardinals around the world.

He just thinks it's gotta be more diverse, Africa, you know, and he goes, look, that's not gonna happen because we're kind of the strongest nation, powerful economically, military.

You really want the Pope to be from there too.

He goes, that might be a little too much for some of these guys.

Interesting.

Kathryn Lake

That's

what I said, too.

I always thought we were a little too, I don't know, whatever.

Liberal?

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's what I thought it was.

But I said, and now I agree with us not having a pull from America.

Right.

At least I did yesterday.

Unless it's you.

John Maino

Unless it's John.

I was going to be a Cardinal, remember?

Yeah.

Yes.

John Maino

Yeah.

So that's

Cardinal.

I'll tell you what, that guy interviewed is going to be a Cardinal.

He was unbelievable.

John Maino

Sunday at one

o'clock has leaned

John Maino

local.

Thank you.

John Maino

Talk with Mark Hughes so we can back

Monday,

Kathryn Lake

the mayor, on a Friday morning.
