Was it a let down a little bit after the draft?
And we were so excited about the draft.
We went to the draft.
That was kind of burned out.
I mean, that was a lot of hours, right?
Yeah.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
Yep.
This is good because we need something after this.
Yeah, I agree.
Aftermath of the draft and.
This is going to be a great day here, May 3rd, Saturday, which is, like you said, just coming up here.
It's a bluesgrass.
And who doesn't love bluesgrass?
This is called Ladies of Bluegrass in Howard at the watering hole.
I think we've all been there a number of times.
So I'll read off the bands in a second, but what I want you to know is that this goes to fight cancer.
And we've talked about this so many times on the show.
We all know someone who is...
Suffered with it or gone through
Yep.
The Dirty Grass players.
I don't know, I don't have the list of where they're all, but just go on their website and look at this.
I'll give that to you in just a second.
Joseph Hoover, the Tillers, Art Stevenson in the Highwater, the Fox Gloves, and of course, Biscuit Creek.
So their website, John, Todd, is that on here?
I don't see that.
For what?
To look at, if you want to look at it online.
You
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
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
You could just tell he was on something and just a little lot of we had the big beard and did something.
Oh, yeah, that guy.
Yeah.
Remember, he would always be just that little off.
Yeah.
If you're watching us on camera here, you can see how I'm in person.
You
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
