Coming to Northeast Wisconsin live from the Civic Media Studios, this is Mino and the Mayor.

And here are your hosts, John Minow and

Jim Schmidt.

Hey, thank you very much.

Welcome back to Minow the Mayor here.

Hour number three in a beautiful Monday morning.

52 in Green Bay, 55 in Alton, 52 in Oshkosh.

Forecast today, sunny high in the upper 70s.

Actually, somebody sent me a picture.

Lisa Hale, our amazing news person in Oshkosh.

She's actually sitting out there.

In a fishing boat right now, somebody sent me a picture, Todd, right outside the studios there.

Lovely.

She's just cruising up and down the river doing all of her work right now.

When you said she was sitting in fish, I didn't know where you were going.

So I went to fishnet, fishstock.

Wow.

Okay.

I'm just saying.

I don't know where you're at.

You're at the

fish stockings.

Okay.

I'm the only.

I'm the only.

Okay.

Okay.

Hey, we got my good friend Daryl Bernat here talking about one of their greatest.

Of course, I shouldn't say this because you talk about German.

Everything you've been doing now is beating out the other ones over and over.

But this is a phenomenal one.

2025 Festa Italiana World Class Lion Puff Cars that are unbelievable.

But first, tell us about the James Bond collection.

It went fantastic.

We had our premiere on April 22nd and it was phenomenal because we brought Nick Candy in from the Aston Martin Owners Club International.

He came in on his own and spoke and we had

someone from the Ian Fleming Foundation come in that evening.

So it was a tremendous red carpet event.

And I know you guys were planning to come couldn't quite make it, but we're going to have a special showing just for minor one, the mayor.

It should be phenomenal.

Spend your money somewhere else.

But that was, I heard that was very well attended and just,

it's so unique.

And you do bring the unique things.

I'm going to get to that with this, but yeah, I'm sure people were like, even when they thought it was going to be cool to get there tonight.

Oh my God.

And they're coming in from all over the Midwest because this is only the other

place, the other being Washington DC, that you can see any James Bond vehicles and the only place you can see these.

I gotta ask this question because you put in here what five of these cars are worth how much right here?

Over $30 million.

Who's the guy backing them into those tight little spaces you guys got over there?

Well, knowing me for many years, you know, it's not me.

Dave Vaness, our pick for chief and the great team we have, take care of that.

And I get to be in a supervisory role, which is

You know, another way of saying, Daryl, stand over here.

Daryl, stand over here and don't touch them.

Right.

Right.

You know what I mean?

You know what I mean?

We're talking about the

worst jobs for me possible.

They never put me in a car to do that part of it.

But even if I was the guy, OK, come on back, Mike.

Hey, Mino!

Hey!

What did you

think of the

draft?

I thought they should have done great.

Boom.

Well, someday, you know, and I've been searching for over seven years now for a pale yellow

four-door Buick.

There you go.

Was that an engine?

It's out there somewhere.

The only car

that the Rawhide Boys Ranch ever turned down.

How ironic is that?

Basically founded by Green Bay Packer Quarterback, one of the only cars he ever turned down was the car owned by a Packer Quarterback.

You gotta admit there's

some irony in that.

There is, there is.

So Daryl, I don't know what the collection was on the bond in terms of the value, but what you have coming up, and I went to this last year and I,

This is like one of the best shows, although I was kind of partial to the German one, because I do like German cars.

You can't go wrong with that, Manila.

That's pretty

tough too.

But tell me about the Telefest.

Well, we're going to bring in all new cars again this year, but these that you are talking about and looking at, and hopefully everyone will come see, are truly one of ones.

There's nowhere else in the world, in the world you can see these.

We have

the Queen of Belgium.

You know, if you remember King Leopold III, this is a one-of-one Ferrari that Enzo Ferrari made for her.

And the roof looks like it's painted white.

That's actually white silk on the roof.

And we have Juan Perón, Argentine president.

I said it's like actual The Juan Perón.

The Juan Perón who was married to the famous Evita.

Madonna.

Right.

He was married

to Madonna.

I saw the movie.

So these are all

one of one.

Don't

cry for me Argentina.

I love that movie.

Yeah and you know just from top to bottom eight decades of all Italian Badgers the Ferrari

Club of America is doing a special event over 30 Ferraris are going to be coming in in a parade in the Green Bay this Saturday.

We're going to have the Alpha Romeo Club from the Midwest coming in.

So we hope everyone can come out and for $15 to get food and an eyeful of the most beautiful vehicles ever made.

And you got a

Lamborghini that goes 215 miles an hour.

Yeah, that's a VT Roadster.

The

you know, just an incredible, incredible car.

And, you know, they only made a handful, only 466 of these over, you know, a five year stretch.

I remember Mario and Shreddy talking one time that 200 might be unsafe for anybody.

200 might, I don't know, that's over.

And now it's like, okay, I got my Lamborghini and the garage

will

go 215.

This was the first Lamborghini ever to go over 200 miles an hour.

Wow.

Okay.

That's

awesome.

So this is right on Adams Street, right?

Kitty Corner from, you know, the... Yeah.

Wine right where we go captain's walk.

This is this weekend

the

Saturday parade.

Okay.

It's a parade is that they're gonna

No, no when I say a parade, they're gonna be driving in they're all collecting I think a Manitowoc from Minnesota Chicago all over and then they're going to be coming in as a group Wow, yeah, they're coming in as a group.

So if you're hanging Yeah, they're they're starting

the meeting point in Manitowoc, and then they're all driving together from there.

So if you're around around one o'clock at 12.30 on Saturday, you're gonna see quite a parade.

This

isn't coinciding with the one, because they do a really cool thing in Manitowoc every summer.

When they have, they shut down the town and everybody in their classic cars drive all over.

It's really cool.

It's really popular.

Yes, it is.

I think this is, no, this is just a gathering place and they're driving

up

here.

And then they're at your place for how long?

From two to six on Saturday.

You know and you know people ask me how long are these cars going to be there one day?

And this is the only time ever these cars will be together I mean what you're looking at here and our viewers can't see but we hope they'll see on Saturdays I mean these are Pebble Beach Concorde elegans winners They're coming to Green Bay to the automobile even like this.

Okay the Apollo spider.

Yes,

five are still in existence in the world,

right?

This is one of them, and this is the first one ever made.

Wow.

I mean, this is

Juan Perón's car.

I mean, this is amazing.

Let me just ask you, because I don't think people can really... They don't see the pictures that you brought in here today, but what is the value of that display?

I mean, you've got... It

will be over $100 million.

Can you believe that?

There's going to be over

$100

million of Italian cars at the automobile gallery from two to six this Saturday.

You can't miss that.

I promise you one thing.

I will not put my drink down on the hood.

Yeah of any of them

I guarantee that because these will be roped off as But most of them are going to be right there so you can get up close to them But we do have a few like this that you know You can only get within two or three feet of them But what an amazing collection, you know, and I look at this from the standpoint up.

It's like

This is a farm kid who now is being handed the keys to Tiffany's.

You know, for the day.

Do you ever get in

them and just take it for a little spin?

I have had owners offer that and occasionally I take them up on that offer.

Yes.

Really?

It's one of the few perks that come with my job.

Where do

you go at 215 miles an hour?

Well, hopefully the opposite direction of the constable.

You got to west appear at 45.

That's right.

Where were you?

I just went to Madison back.

Wow.

That's pretty cool.

Wow.

That's pretty how you got that.

Tell me, you know, I know you've got resilient connections.

How do you get something like that?

I mean, we have a great city, but I'm sure it's sought after.

How do you lend that?

That's really where it starts.

It starts with two things, connections and trust.

I mean, a lot of these, the owners, like this one that was owned by the Queen of Belgium, Princess of Belgium, the owners out of Mexico.

But he entrusts this car to motion products in Nina, which is one of the foremost Ferrari and, for that matter, Italian car restoration shops in the world.

And through a series of conversations, we've been allowed to have this car on display.

That's an example.

And then our good friend Dennis Garrity.

I

mean, he is an international judge.

and we have some of his collection coming in.

But I have to say, you know, as good of a friend as Dennis has become, it took about four years to convince him to say, hey, you know, I'll entrust my cars to you.

So it's worth it because it's literally like reaching the summit of a mountain to be able to get even one of us.

And then the more you get, the greater the show.

I gotta ask this, you're great friends with red.

I'm sure he talked to you when he had this idea.

What was what was the vision then versus what it is now?

Is this exactly what he had in mind?

I

think he wanted to I think he he had his own cars He wanted to share right and that was the word he used he wanted to share that with the people was looking for a place and they got that worked out with that building But he did he did talk about having friends other people showcase their cars too.

He did.

I don't know that he saw

100 million dollars of Italian cars there, but

no, I don't think James Bond I don't think ever envisioned this but you know what he did want more than anything else was to have something for the community that would be embraced and We've been able to do that and that's probably the proudest part of what I've been able to contribute if I've contributed anything to the gallery

and

he

We just wanted to share that because he had a number of cars at his place.

I

mean, 30 or something.

Yeah, 35.

I think it was when he started the collection with and then that has grown.

And, you know, today I am getting a 2006 Bentley Flying Spur donated to the gallery.

It's arriving at noon today.

I mean, I never dreamed that I would ever have this opportunity, but our reputation has grown to the point where people want to do that.

Okay, if you I'm telling you to call a lot of my friends called down right now ask her what kind of card Jim wants and I've looked it up online the Bentley sister to the roles that is such a cool and there's not a ton of Bentley's out there And I like the name too.

Yeah, okay.

I can tell you something funny So quarterback down it.

I think it's Oklahoma or George or one of those schools.

We got his NIL thing and bought a Bentley college kid Okay, got a Bentley, but if people are like, what's that?

Like, you think all these, you know, cohorts would be like, oh my God.

Like, what's that?

Yeah, that's okay.

It's a Bentley.

Yeah, that's all right.

It's a

Bentley.

Well, when the appraiser was doing the appraisal on this particular car, I think she uncovered that there were only about four in the state of Wisconsin.

Four or five.

Wow.

There's more.

There are more Rolls Royces

than Bentley's.

And that's

why, like, the Bentley,

I think it's just

super cool.

And there's just a whole lot of things I like about it.

When did the car start getting there?

Well, today is when we're bringing in some of these really special ones for some television or radio we're doing this week.

So I want to thank you guys too.

You have been with us from the beginning.

You know, when this was merely an idea three years ago, four years ago, you put me on the radio and now look where the show has come.

And you guys deserve a lot of credit for that.

It was fun.

I mean, so many of our listeners are into this.

Right, I would agree with that.

And who doesn't like

cool cars,

right?

I mean, it's just, it's in movies, it's in, it's

statuses.

I would liken it to this.

This particular show is like a Rembrandt next to a Monet, next to a Picasso, next to a Michelangelo.

That's really how I would describe

it.

Or a Mickey Mantle 1952 card next to a

Willie Mays 54 card.

Yes.

You know, I'm giving a talk at your place Wednesday at noon to the leadership Green Bay.

These cars are going to be there.

They show me some after I'm done.

Yes.

Absolutely.

Love it.

That is so cool.

How lucky we are to get that one.

Todd.

Hmm.

What's wrong with that?

I

don't know.

I think of Leslie Nielsen naked gun knocking over stuff.

I just see that.

Derek for hit us with this automobile gallery.

Amazing event coming up this weekend.

at the Cleveland Guardians 4 35 on W I S S kind of an up and down season for them so far.

Darrell Burnett is with us with the automobile gallery and event center here in downtown Green Bay Festa, Italian are coming up on Saturday.

And again, a thing here, we're be a good spot to watch the parade coming into Green Bay.

Well, it's not really going to be.

And like, like I mentioned about these cars, I said, wow, I assume there'd be, you know, winch down in a, but they are a winch down in a semi, right?

Oh, yeah.

Yes.

I mean, yeah.

But it's the other ones that people could watch kind of come into

town.

I mean, we're going to have over 150 Italian cars there on Saturday.

So this is this is just the really top of the Sunday with the cherry on top, so to speak.

But if you're anywhere around Crooks and Washington,

or Crooks and Adams on Saturday, starting at about 12.30.

And for the next hour, you're going to see incredible cars coming in.

That'd be cool, Zach.

Just watch out.

I know.

Let's go back to the name of your place, the Automobile Gallery and Events Center.

I've been there for, you do a lot of events.

And what a cool thing to get there, because it's before the event, people are mingling.

And pretty cool to mingle around.

Oh, it is.

$50 million of

cars.

And that's...

I think the one point I want to get across here, you don't have to.

This is not some stuff stuffy.

Not at all.

No, this is not at all.

That's what I hear every year is this is the most amazing laid back relaxed day.

And isn't it cool that we get to see all these cars, too?

Yeah, I just think we're so lucky.

I would never be associated with an event that was.

stuffy exclusive exclusive exclusive and stuff and

back to red i knew red jim knew red you're well new red everybody in green bay one way or another dealt

with him with

you know in a in a way but um what you what we talk about during the break his mantra was let's do this for the community let's not just try to show off what we have or whatever like let's just bring the community together around something that

So many, I mean, you could have somebody that's, you know, the CEO of whatever, whatever.

And the guy that, you know, is changing a muffler next door here, the exact same passion for cars.

Absolutely.

And, you know, we're enough for profit.

So this is not going into our pockets.

This is for the community.

Right.

And I work all year long on events like this one to make sure that we're bringing the very best in for it.

Another thing I want to say about Reddit, he had an interest or passion of having

kids see these cars too.

He started when he was 16, right?

He totally got into cars.

I don't know how many he had when he was 16, but it's just, it's for everybody.

You're right.

It's not just for car collectors.

It's not just for people who work on cars.

That's a family thing there.

And I think you guys have really done that right.

He had a real soft spot for children.

And often he would take very exclusive cars that he owned and he would let a young child sit in it and mess with the steering wheel and all of that.

That was a great.

Great aspect, great trade he had.

Yeah.

Tell me about the food.

Oh, food is going to be fantastic.

We're going to have wood-fired pizza.

We're going to have gelato, Sarah's gelato.

Nice.

We're going to have Italian wines.

Belgioso are great friends of Belgioso.

And I have to say this too, they don't just sponsor this.

The family comes.

The Belgioso family, Umberto Marconi and Gaetano, they all come.

And I think that's really speaking to what we were talking about before.

It's like a family outing.

So bring your kids, you know, bring everyone, just have a good time.

This sounds like fun.

Tell everybody again, where, when, and the whole bollowax are there.

This Saturday is Festo Italiana 2025 from 2 to 6 p.m.

at the automobile gallery and event center and purposely

The ticket price is only $15.

Where can you go on this day and age and see anything close to this?

And the foods included with

that, or

do you buy the

food in there?

Some of the foods included, all the belgioso cheese that Sarah, you can load up on that.

And then we have other things for sale.

So it's

tremendous.

Sounds great.

This is great.

And this is a lot of work.

You said

four years

in the making.

You know,

that's

pretty cool that you give to this because you.

You're not making a fortune.

You know, I mean, you just,

you guys

are really, everybody there though, you can tell, I think that's why it's not perceived as stuffy.

The people there, right when you walk in there, the nicest people, not that they're like Walmart, but they're just very greeting people.

And the people who own these cars are so giving.

I mean, they don't charge us a dime for bringing these vehicles in.

And you know,

Like I said before, one of these from Mexico.

You know, we have them from Minnesota.

We have them from all over at their expense because they're really buying into what we're trying to do here.

And you've earned that.

And it took time today.

Oh, yeah.

I'm sure

there's people that want to get your car here.

You're new.

We don't really know what's going to be there.

Is it going to be protected?

And you've been in business.

How long has that automobile gallery been there?

Well, we're in our 10th year now.

10th year, I

was going to say.

OK.

OK.

I hate to say this because I'm not sure anybody else will be here for this.

But 20 years from now, 25 years from now,

is a place like your place going to be having this great display of cars from 2025?

Or have we lost the kind of golden age of cool cars?

That is the million dollar question that is often out there.

I think for the same reason that you still see a Model A or you see a steam powered car, you are going to see cars from this era.

And I have to say, the styling has finally caught up.

because we went through a really lean period there.

We

were talking

about 1989 when that horrible tragedy

happened without you going off to Mackinac

Bridge.

We had some junk out there.

But there is some great styling.

going on right now in the world.

And where this all shakes out with EVs.

In America

too.

They did start to look the same for a little

while.

That got a little boring.

So you're saying

right now they're getting their own lines good.

And you see companies like Jaguar, I have a passion for Jaguars.

They totally went a different direction with their new EVs.

And they are throwing some styles out there.

They're gonna be interesting to see if they're solid.

following is going to follow them or whether they're going to be out there reaching for a whole new audience.

That's the challenge all these car makers have is how do you satisfy your core audience while still moving forward?

I was a die hard GTO guy and they kind of blew it

down the stretch.

They just did.

That's a good example.

Yeah, you know, and it's not coming back, but they're so much of it was back room politics.

And that's the that's the really sad part of it.

It didn't come down to style.

It came down to what was going on in the back rooms.

But, you know,

talent always wins out, and I have every faith that, I mean, cars like this are gonna be here forever.

Awesome.

Love it.

Darrell Burrell,

automobile gallery event center, Fiesta Italiana coming up center.

We'll talk more about this down the road this week, Darrell.

If you give us a couple of tickets to give away to one of our listeners this week, that'd be awesome.

How

about two a day?

Would that be

phenomenal?

That'd be phenomenal.

Wow.

We're going to talk about this all week long.

Now back to Mino and the Mayor.

Here's John Mino and Jim Schmidt.

Hey, thank you very much.

Welcome back.

Special thanks for having Daryl Burnett here, automobile gallery.

Excuse me.

And event center, Festa, Italiana, coming up on Saturday, which sounds absolutely fantastic,

with an

incredible display of automobiles.

A lot of cool stuff

picking up again, right?

We talked about, you know, the winter.

I mean, the other thing that sucked a lot of our energy was the draft.

And we

didn't

talk about.

I'm sure there was stuff going on besides that, but we didn't really talk about it enough and nor did anyone else because I just think that just became the topic.

So we just got to get back to some of these smaller venues that are going on here.

There's a lot of stuff going on.

Epic, of course, Cup of Joy, and all these musicians we have on here that are playing at these local places.

We just got to plug that a little bit more because that's really who we are, is this local great talent and opportunities for people to go to.

That automobile gallery, man.

That's one of my favorites.

Of course, I live right there.

But yeah, I just love what they're doing for the community.

And this is Red Lewis.

Todd, I don't know if you knew him.

He's got to start the whole PDQ thing.

Oh, OK.

That's what he did.

Yeah.

He always would tell kids.

And it's the only thing I know.

He was a great guy.

He never graduated.

Did he finish high school?

I've no idea.

Remember,

that was his

thing.

It's like, or he never went to college.

I know that.

And it's like.

Don't tell the kids.

I mean, he's one of the lucky ones.

He didn't go to college and made millions, but he was very creative.

very, very generous, just unbelievably generous.

So I just, I'm so glad his legacy is living on through this automobile.

And you

can walk past it, just look through

the windows of

amazing cars.

The window shopping.

I mean, you really can.

I mean, cause they change that all the time and everything.

It's like window displays.

It's, it's really cool.

It's within walking distance just down the road here.

So it's, it's very cool.

And I think it's pretty amazing that the building's not that big.

Obviously it's the old Denil Cadillac right on Adams.

Have

a little

Cadillac boy.

That's going back to the 80s there.

Hey, that was big.

That was huge.

That was big

a hundred million dollars That's quite the display of anything be it, you know,

that's just

gonna

be you know downtown Green Bay, though And I got a feeling Oshka should be the same way It seems like when it was built cars were first come it seems like cars were a bigger thing here possibly

Then we realized you wouldn't think of Green Bay, Wisconsin or Oshkosh being big car places, but it was like some of the big old, like gathering.

That was a car dealership.

Such and such.

One of the other big building here.

Right.

That was like Don Hudson's car dealership.

That was, I mean, even Broadway was back in like the, you know,

the twenties point

and it's cars were big.

And one of the cool things when I, when I walk my circuit around here on Walnut on the.

the west side of Walnut, right before the bridge.

That's

a

cool little building.

And they got

those little, what are they called?

Keystones built in for what it was built in 1916, the building was.

And it's got the cart in fact, somebody of a Model T from 1916.

And

insurance company bought that, but that must have been a car or a garage or something.

But it

was down and I could see Oshkosh just from the shape and size of some of those buildings down there with the huge big doors outside.

We in fact, the Gibson now it's a it's a social club, blah, blah, blah.

It's it's a great location.

That was a car dealership right on Main Street as well.

And so the big doors are there, the big windows.

Exactly.

Yep.

Absolutely.

And that's great.

We're honoring that because I think cars, you look at it, you can remember, you know, well, absolutely what you were doing.

But it's also tells a lot of history, like the Perone family, just to look at that car and say, oh, that's what they were in.

But that's very cool.

I'm so glad he's doing that.

And that's a lot of work.

Like he said, four years, he's been working on getting these cars here.

So do you guys want to give away a couple passes this morning?

Absolutely.

All right, let's do that.

And by the way,

it's not going to this person, though.

There are first attempt at a limerick that we're giving away a price package for today.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So this is just where the bar is set right now.

I don't know who this is from, but I'm just where the bar

is set.

I'll find out.

All right.

Mine on the mare were anything is game.

No two shows are ever the same.

The talk of linens and Viber.

Okay, you're missing

Viber phones.

Viber phones.

The talk of linens and Viber phones.

Todd tries to rain them in.

His head is always spinning.

Shouldn't that be rhyming with vibraphone,

Sparky?

Sparky, you gotta rhyme

some with vibraphone.

We can fix this for him.

Okay.

I'll try to ring them in.

All right, the talk of linens and vibraslaps.

Oh, vibraslaps.

It should be a vibraslaps.

Okay,

Sparky, get

the words right.

The talk of linens and vibraslaps, it all just sounds like a bunch of crap.

Oh, that's nice.

Here's what we will do, people.

We will modify.

We will improve these for you.

I say modify.

We will improve these for you.

Let's be honest.

We're the professionals when it comes to doing things you're not.

We could this one has the first two

lines

are great.

It's got great potential.

Sparky.

We're going to

work this.

We're

going to send it back for

extra

credit.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Fix that up for us.

Yep.

Yep.

Yep.

But let's give away two passes for the event this Saturday, Festi Italiana at the automobile gallery and event center.

You can text in right now, download the Civic Media app, choose WISS or WGBW, text in in the lower right hand corner.

Say you want to go to the automobile gallery and we will give away a pair of tickets this morning.

And again, today is National Limerick Day.

So we're heading to a prize package curse.

You have Nicolle National Bank for our top limerick.

Here we can do with this one here.

So we got mine on the mirror.

Anything is game, no two shows are ever the same.

The

talk of linens and

Vibre Slap, it's also good you'll never nap.

It kind of lost it right there.

But you guys,

you guys had, it's not a pile of, you don't want to say that.

Slap, nap, crap, what other words?

That's what I said.

I know, you've gone through that.

Cap.

Dap.

Rap.

Rap.

Oh, that rap we could fit into this.

That we could fit into this.

All right, this doesn't

work.

You know what, folks, we'll do a combination on this one.

Somebody help Sparky out on this.

Well, I think what he wanted

to do was

spitting

in linens.

I think he was making that connection, but then the Viberslaps happened.

Viberslaps.

You know what I'm saying?

Maybe you want to talk of Viberslaps and linens.

And what did you say?

What was the line you came

up with?

You'll never want to

nap.

No, no, no, but if you switch Vibraslaps

and linens, turn

that around.

The talk of Vibraslaps, yeah, but the timing on that is better this way.

And linens,

his head

is always spinning.

I mean,

that's close.

You gotta

understand the iamic pythameter here.

Yeah, or whatever that is.

Okay, I think there's one more sentence.

Yes, yes.

The cadence of the talk of linens and Vibraslaps.

Yeah, it needs another

boom, boom, boom.

Right.

Boom,

boom, boom.

Yeah,

yeah.

Boom, boom, boom.

Yeah,

Sparky

has

a good effort.

It was

okay.

How about Sparky?

Show some appreciation.

No, come on.

That is

a

good job, Sparky.

You can stand.

You bet.

No, go sit down, Sparky.

You're not going to wait.

Thank you for.

You're not

going to

wait.

Go sit.

We'll go to the next one.

That is a great start.

Yeah, I like

that.

It really is, Sparky.

Yeah,

so.

And you got to figure he's doing that while he's rewiring a house

or something.

Exactly.

He's the electrician in the families.

Think about

that.

You know, things could happen.

Talk of linens and vibraslaps.

Yeah.

Or you can switch those around, you know.

But the cadence is better this way.

Because if you say the talk of Vibrous Lapse and Linnons, it's a little clunkier than saying the talk of Linnons and Vibrous Lapse.

Yeah.

The cadence, the actual beats.

Linnons and Vibrous Snaps.

Slaps.

And

you have to get a word that rhymes with slaps.

Straps.

Straps works.

Caps.

Caps could work.

The

raps.

Better than.

We're we got a package for who helps whoever finishes this one for us a national limerick day We are this is one of the most disappointing moments in the time we

know better than any hip-hop rap one of the most

disappointing you are listeners This is one of our your most disappointing moments right here and right now that you're not stepping up to the plate on national

night So we we got a message vibraphones.

We're brought up on the program.

You're right about that day We did talk about vibraphones.

Okay the talk of linens and vibraphones

No, you switched it around.

I know, because we just said vibraphones were mentioned on the show, so maybe he wanted vibraphones.

Did he really

rock

our old bones?

No, he's right about the cadence with the vibraslaps.

Yeah, it just thinks better than any hip-hop raps.

This one I

got.

It's

mine or the mayor to

old men from Nantucket.

All right.

Yeah.

Sorry.

Yeah.

All right.

Whatever.

All right.

So I will work on it.

Yes.

Got a big week coming up for us.

A lot of stuff going on this week.

And we were mentioning as far as like just, you know, and I think you brought up a good point there.

I think correct me if I'm wrong.

I almost think there's been a little bit of a draft hangover in the community.

Would you agree?

Oh,

yeah.

I do, John.

I think it was, what, 70% of the talk?

I mean, it just was a lot.

It was over half, and now it's gone.

It's like, okay, we just have to get back to...

the local stuff that's going on here.

Well Darrell brought

up a good point,

but they

had one of their best days they've ever had at

the autumn.

Was it Friday?

Was that rainy Friday morning afternoon-ish of the

draft.

Do you think because people came down for that other event?

Oh, that Bouillifest was packed.

The Bouillifest maybe was packed.

Within walking distance or whatever.

It was kind of

spilled over and everything.

Yeah.

And that was, you know, that's the one day over at Lambeau.

There wasn't a lot of fun things to do walking around in the rain and the wind that day.

Even when you see, you could tell which day people were there because

Everybody's

got like a

rain thing

on that

day versus the other day.

The only bad day though.

I mean, really, surely we couldn't have asked for anything

better than that.

Steve Bruneer is coming on and he's, you know, the director of public works and get his perspective on that.

But he's also retiring.

I think it's going to be fun to ask him what he thinks the community needs.

You know what I mean?

I think that'd be a good guess coming on this week.

And I think we have, well, I don't know, Todd has the lineup, but.

Yeah, this is going to be the draft.

We're still talking about it.

That's what I mean.

It almost seems a little bit of a hangover effect of, hmm.

Yeah.

I mean, we're at first it was, oh my God, this is unbelievable.

And I will say this, everything that happened within the campus is exactly everything that you hope for.

Exactly.

Tremendous crowds, lively crowds, no fights, no drunken or not, you know, not crazy, rowdy, all
