Good morning.

Happy Tuesday to you.

It is nice out there.

Oh, man, this is

70 today.

No win.

This is awesome.

It is just a perfect, beautiful morning, man.

Why don't you do my walk this morning?

Yeah, right.

I was thinking, man, this is a great time here to get up early, get out through the sun's coming up, and the birds are popping their heads out of the nests, and the seagulls are swooping, and the sailboats are sailing.

You know why they start tweeting?

What?

What makes them do that?

What?

When the sun comes up, delight.

Yeah, no.

Oh, I think we got everybody knows that.

Why was that one of rooster crows do or whatever?

Pretty much.

I think.

Yeah.

Same thing.

Yeah.

You didn't know that.

I knew that.

I was wait.

I was waiting for this, like, really like mind blowing.

Me too.

It comes up.

You know what I hate?

You know what

I,

you know what I,

you know what I

despise.

It's after

seven

hours of

sleep.

And I wish there wasn't a law against.

Oh.

And people are gonna hate me for saying this.

There's a lot against it.

Yeah A lot of things you would

yeah, what

murder

morning doves.

Oh

when they're outside your window at like 430.

Yeah,

well the sun's not up John.

They're not queen.

They cool by head of time They're the early right there.

They're the early ones.

Gotta hate morning doves Right outside your window.

Yeah,

I've tried everything to get rid of them

Short of a pellet gun.

Yeah.

Oh, I

hate

them.

Just a note.

I don't think you'd win any Morning Dove calling awards.

Maybe it wasn't.

Oh,

okay.

Maybe it

wasn't.

Yeah, that's good.

Happy nurses day.

Yeah.

Love them.

God bless the nurses in the world.

That's

that is a unbelievable.

I'm glad we're recognizing that today.

My daughter who's in, she's dead.

You don't realize how all the work the nurses do.

It's unbelievable

what they do.

I agree.

Couldn't agree more.

I mean, these doctors walk in everything.

It's cleaned and it's out ready.

They work so hard.

I mean here, but everywhere.

But you know, we have an appreciation for nurses because they take care of us.

But from the other side, like doctors got to really appreciate nurses because they do everything.

Let's be honest, a lot of the work.

I mean, yeah, they do a lot of work.

No question, man.

And I think a lot of times they're, they're really the communication piece, right?

Absolutely.

You tell the nurse what's going on.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

They are.

I mean, although you got to admit one thing.

Hmm.

Nurses state.

Boom.

What do you think of?

I think of a lot of nurses.

I know.

Yeah.

My sister.

Yeah.

But y'all think of a female, don't you?

I do.

And there's lots of guys

that are going to talk about male nurses.

Yeah, because

that's getting a real big thing.

Guys that are medics in the in the military.

That's true.

When they get up, they become nurses.

Yeah.

And it's great.

It's a great career.

And you can really not to do for the money, but if you work the holidays and some overtime, you can.

That's

serious.

Like in the

first couple of years, because you can sign up for that.

It's amazing what

I just read one of those things about, you know what you could expect after so many years.

Yeah.

that with this one nursing thing was $176,000 a year about that.

That's a lot of money.

That's a lot of money.

It is.

That's a nice, that's a nice wage.

And we need nurses and

we're getting a little bit older and nurses or yeah.

Yeah,

no

question.

But you ever wonder what they are like, you never know sometimes the person you're meeting with when you go for a doctor's appointment or something.

You never quite know who that person is right before the doctor comes in.

Well, you think again, you're expecting the doctor to be a male.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And

so what do you mean?

You don't know.

Yeah.

Remember, I told you how to go meet.

They screwed up my thing.

The hammy come down for the meeting before the blood work and then whatever.

Right.

But because the doctor's on vacation.

But I didn't, I didn't really know what that was.

It was a female, but I didn't know was she a doctor, was she a nurse, was she a, you know, I wasn't quite sure.

Positions assistant.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Exactly.

What's the, what's the hierarchy of those

things?

I think it is a positions assistant.

Okay,

it's

a doctor positions assistants and then you then there I'm gonna look that up at the break because my sister's one of them But it's amazing.

They can do like like yeah almost everything.

Oh, yeah But you know the big money goes.

Yeah, I know I Would you ever try stethoscopes?

I'd love to just try those one time.

Wouldn't you see what that sounds like?

Never did that like in school.

No.

No.

Oh my goodness.

No Put a kid in medical school.

You have them all over the house.

Yeah, we got these.

Yeah, those are cool.

Yeah, it was all they look cool, too

That's

what I mean.

That's what I mean.

They

look cool.

Just walk on.

Absolutely.

You

guys walk on a plane with one of those?

I still think one of the favorite things is in old movies where they're beginning with the pregnant lady and they're smoking.

The doctor's smoking.

He's in the room.

I love those old movies.

Just a

doctor's smoking period.

Love it.

Love it.

Love it.

Love it.

Love it.

What do you got here?

Terry says, had a great May 5th yesterday.

Nice fajitas.

Dinner at Los Banditos.

Oh, you could have came to the community shelter.

That's what we served last night, fajitas.

I was a little stressed out because some people who signed up didn't, they started, you know, people drop off, you know, I'll be there, I'll be there.

It's like, well, I'm, helpers, helpers.

So, because with fajitas, you know, it's obviously the tortilla and then the chicken, that's what we had chicken at that steak.

But then there's all these things to put on it.

You want some cheese, you want some cream, peppers, olives, salsa.

So, and then you got, you know, um, uh, the rice and then you've got the, the, uh, the fruit and then the dessert and we only had two servers for that.

Well, it was supposed to be more, but, um, yeah, Kyle can come and then Jesse was sick yesterday.

So anyway, I grabbed two.

There was some kids there from Notre Dame that were kind of.

It's just working on another project.

You guys are done with that project.

You come over here.

So, but there's just a lot to a fajita, but what a great way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

Absolutely.

Brian says, Carpe Diem, boys, seize the day.

Make your show extraordinary.

Hashtag all positive texts

today.

Now look at this.

Brian.

Brian.

No,

no, he

won't.

He won't change.

And thank God for that.

We love it.

He's just setting us up for some.

Trust me.

He's sitting there next

to

his wife.

Watch this.

Yeah.

Watch this.

I'll stop him up and then nail him.

Next dollar.

Next dollar.

Right.

How about your UW Green Bay softball team headed to Cleveland State for the Horizon League tournament?

Goal Phoenix ladies.

Kyle.

Thank you, Kyle.

very nice um this is a great time of year for sports for like high school sports and everything oh yeah actually yesterday when I was just walking through the what park is that it's where we met last year to do the pickup the cleaning thing it's the dog park yeah down there

But anyway, um, it's just just walking through that part.

I don't like walking through that park when I go to CVS, but it's like, there's a first time you smelled fresh cut grass and the dandelions were popping up and it's like, oh, if you could bottle like right here, this next couple of

weeks, see me a military guy say that that was something that they missed.

Yeah, absolutely.

The smell of fresh cut grass.

You're sick because you didn't see that on Iraq.

Nope.

Nope.

That's exactly.

And when you, what do you think?

I always think of football practice or baseball practice when you smell that fresh cut grass.

You guys summer summer, but I mean like golf course type things where there's just something about that that just conjures up and that's a great nominal

Who wouldn't like that?

Yeah, no, that's just yeah, it's great.

Got no tix or nurse practitioners That's what I was trying to think of to be honest with you.

Yes nurse practitioners are very similar to physicians assistants.

Will you that's the term is what is the difference between a nurse practitioner and a

Yeah, that's what I mean.

It's almost like the middle

sure again

like a sergeant the

little

tenant and then a you know, whatever

Yeah, okay.

I don't want to say for sure But I think like they can actually write prescriptions.

They can all that kind of stuff

I think the question

is what's the difference between a

physician's assistant?

That's what I mean.

She doesn't see she's in the ER She's talked about this guy had cut himself up like with a chainsaw.

She was right there.

Um, what was that?

That was a

subconscious gesture to you, but anyway, but I'm just saying that you know was right in in the midst of that so I think physicians assistants are Pretty much in charge till the doctor shows up.

It's a legendary story up in the UP this guy Cut himself really bad with chainsaw and on the woods and stitch himself up with fishing line.

No, yeah

Wow

Yeah.

Talk about having the, you know, because I would just lay there and go, okay, I'm done.

Yeah.

I'd give up

and he ended up, this guy is one of the only guys from UP ever to play pro football.

So really he did, then he just get himself to a hospital.

That's

incredible that he

stitched himself up.

Yeah.

Wow.

Yeah.

I'd see a tourniquet.

Yeah.

But

I'll check it.

Check if he's still alive.

Todd.

All right.

His name is Len.

St.

Jean, played for the New England Patriots, drafted by the Packers.

Whitney Park, Sarah says.

Whitney Park.

Yeah.

Yes.

Thank you, sir.

There's something about that.

It's my name in an old school, old town kind of park.

That's going to be one

of the

oldest parks in

Green Bay.

Yeah.

That's what I mean.

There's

something cool about it.

He is alive, by the way.

He's alive.

OK.

83 years old.

Let's try to get him on.

That would be great to talk.

I'm serious.

Wow.

That

is pretty cool.

Yes.

Yes.

You ever take Milton there?

Where?

Whitney Park.

Well, of course, all

the time.

We were talking about this guy with the chainsaw,

he stitched it

up.

I'm like, what?

How do

those

dogs all get along?

It's like, I'm surprised that, you know.

Well, yeah, they, you know, it's up to the owner.

They, it's amazing.

They chase each other and they

play.

That's what I mean.

I've

watched Eric put, and it's like, wow.

Yeah.

Once in a while, there's a dog that.

A kerf luffle.

What do people, do you carry mace?

No.

No?

I don't.

Have you ever?

No.

All right.

My gun.

When you're kind of fun to mace somebody once

it would seem to be like

that birds.

Yeah.

Yeah Anyway, I know that park.

That's that's a dog park and there's we need more dog parks in Green Bay.

I They're great and some dog parks are little dogs big dogs.

Look, yeah, it appear that would they have a great great dog park over

there.

What along the highway?

Yeah,

yeah, that that's a good one But anyway, no, I like Whitney Park, but I think we need to do a couple more of those

right today is no diet day, which is great.

I'm there

Didn't even know it, and I was, didn't even know it, and I'm celebrating.

I've already celebrated

this morning with a big

breakfast.

I had a fajita.

I was so mad yesterday.

Okay.

Why?

And I'm eating so good, I told you, all my wraps were lettuce and turkey.

That is, I'll give you a lot of credit for that, to use lettuce as

a wrap.

I think, you know what I think?

I know you're supposed to, but.

You know what I think I'm doing too much of protein, protein powder.

I put protein powder in my eggs, make, I think that's pretty unweight, but I think it might be solid muscle.

So, that's heavier.

Not seeing it, but okay.

That's good, John.

Let's get a nurse practitioner on and

see what she says about that.

Do those, okay, do those scales work that say?

Body fat,

yeah.

Do those work?

I

don't

know how, I don't know.

How can they?

Because they don't know how tall you are, but it's

not

with your feet.

Does

it sense

your feet?

If they turn into a blob, it's like, look at these dudes.

Those BMI things on there, that's an expensive scale.

I know.

You know what we used to have that was another one of those places I got fired from, one of those weight loss things.

That could be anywhere,

right?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Remember?

Oh, yeah, those are horrible.

They would give you one to measure your body fat, but you never know if they were accurate or not.

I don't think they were.

Well, I think whether it's accurate

or

not,

It's a barometer, right?

So you got a starting place and

I'm so

mad on that before they let you go Couple of months.

Oh, that's all right.

I'll give you credit for that.

Yeah, some of those guys

weak Well, they that was the thing I had to They actually kept a scale at work that okay, and I when I do the spots that have to weigh in and I'd lie.

Oh Oh,

that's a little

pressure

No problem.

Um, yeah, but I was saying I was so mad when I weighed myself yesterday morning because I was so good I walked to 10,000 still not 10,000 but I you know did some steps and Eating good eating nothing but eggs and protein and cheese and just all good

Protein stuff for you and I was as 222 I got it I went from 218 to 222 like we actually took a sharpie in a piece of paper I just wrote 222 and I right there when you're looking in a mirror in my bathroom Yeah, you can't see yourself.

It's gonna get this big thing with just my weight on it.

I was so disgusted with myself

Yeah, they that's good.

We should put that in a refrigerator.

You should put it on the mirror.

That's got it in the mirror It's also beverage day.

No homework day.

I never did homework you guys do homework

Of course we did.

I couldn't.

ask

you

No, that's BS.

No, no, he had a baby.

It was a

sheet.
