Coming to Northeast Wisconsin, live from the Civic Media Studios, this is Mino and the Mayor.
And
here are your hosts, John Mino and Jim Schmidt.
Good morning.
Beautiful morning out there.
Nice Monday.
The whole week.
It was great, man.
No, this
whole week.
But the weekend, you're talking about the weekend, that was awesome too.
I loved it, yeah.
Check check check.
I walked almost 11 miles in two days Wow, that's a lot.
All
right, John.
Do you think you did or?
Yeah, yeah proof right here.
Wow 11 miles in two
days.
Wow, that's a lot
and I had no plans of doing that whatsoever But when I got out there and the Sun was shining and everything it's like you just didn't want to stop
Wow,
do you know what I mean though?
It's just one of those things.
It wasn't fast I pressed probably the slowest walker in Green Bay, but I didn't care
Wow That's awesome
cuz it just felt so good.
It's like you're released from prison or something wasn't it
that hot?
It wasn't I still were a hoodie and the wind was still kind of chilly and everything But the Sun just felt nice.
Yeah.
Oh a lot of walkers Not as many as you would think yeah, I think a lot doesn't my god, you know where there were so many walkers a Week ago.
I think it was Is it the shrine walk?
Oh that walk to Mary
I've noticed, starting when you first come off the highway,
off
of Webster, but it was steady stream going into a Packer game or something from the Webster where Webster crosses over, you know, down that way.
It
starts at the Shrine of St.
Joseph in the Abbey and then it walks all the way out to Champion.
How many thousands of people?
21 miles,
yeah.
Isn't that something?
I've never seen anything like it.
I mean, I've seen a hundred different walks and five K's and all that behind there.
I have never seen and people were carrying different flags and different whatever's and
crosses and roses.
How did they get into that?
Yeah, that's the walk to marry that.
So I was I was walking that day and I was actually going the other way.
Get out of my way.
Would you?
No, they that's me doing that.
Yes.
Yes,
I could.
But I
I had a great weekend.
I just got plugged for Green Bay, which of course I love Green Bay, but went to a wedding and it was, there's great venues everywhere, right?
But it was pretty cool how they had people from all over that came into this wedding, big wedding, expensive wedding, but they had people, they had family in from Australia, Turkey, and of course a lot of people from the United States, but started off at Friday night, the rehearsal dinner.
Kind of a meet and greet at the Northland Hotel in that bowling alley area.
It was awesome.
It's just a nice place to meet.
And then the reception was over at Gather, which is
great.
That was a great place.
Perfect place for that.
That was fun.
And by the way, I gotta say, I watched Jill one morning.
She does a really nice job on that show.
Yes, she does.
Really nice job.
It's obvious why she got the gig.
She's so natural for that.
It's incredible.
Yeah.
I would agree because we were kind of like, oh, that's interesting.
But boy, I mean,
it's always been
a good show.
But boy, did she just
Pick it up and just take it and run with it.
Yeah.
Makes me think about, you know, you guys were kind of up for the gig or going for the gig.
I just kind of wonder, you know.
Meals with mine
on the mirror.
Yeah.
No, I think they made the right choice,
John.
I'm pretty sure they did.
But that
was
once again, once again, second place.
Yeah, I know.
Second place we came in once again.
Yeah, I think it was a little bit
less
than second place.
Yeah, you know for a fact I don't I don't I don't
remember I don't remember
the
I don't remember the interview John.
I think
that the interview would be So I had a party I told you that I had a great breakfast at my house and I used that quiche remember Mike Lisa yeah, Lisa who works for Mike she brought in quiche and we're
not my
god.
This is the best I called
Michael he gave me her number and then she texted me the recipe that worked out quiche is good It's healthy that the people that really liked it.
It's spinach eggs You know, it's great.
I had one with cheese one without cheese because some people I can't believe don't like cheese But they don't so I made two of them.
Yeah, it was great.
I mean the whole weekend was and the weather was so perfect.
It was fun
It was great week.
I like I told you before so my mom guys talk about we cook for the weekend.
Yeah, I Did I was on the grill I made
Grilled barbecue chicken last night.
Well,
that sounds pretty
good.
It was really good.
I made a really good soup.
Too warm for soup.
No, I made a really good soup.
So you know what I'm putting in all my food now that adds so much flavor.
It's mind boggling.
What's that?
Well, two things.
Two things.
OK.
Two things.
Pimento cheese spread.
Because going over to Delilah's for breakfast, you put the spread on there.
Well, they make their omelettes at Delilah's with pimento cheese.
And I even asked the lady, I said, how, why is this so good as well?
Maybe it's the cheese.
We use a special pimento cheese.
So I just started using that in my eggs.
It's so good.
It's incredible.
It's cool.
It's so good.
Pimento cheese, avocados, mushrooms.
That's getting healthy.
Okay.
And
then protein powder.
But here's where I fall off the rails a little bit because it is protein powder, but it's flavored.
Yeah.
So vanilla.
Isn't that just like sugar in there?
No, it's good.
So you got the savory part, which I'm totally into.
Just up until that point.
But the vanilla, which I like vanilla a lot, but not in that regard.
Yeah, I would agree.
It's a little sweet, isn't it?
You can
yang in your mouth.
Yeah, I'm telling you, it's unbelievable.
Get that put on a t-shirt.
Okay, there you go.
Yeah, I might try that celebration every every bite.
What's got to be healthy because I've been
on
healthier seeing you and put in your mouth Yeah, no your body will you put you put your body won't only thank you later.
It will thank you now No, your body.
Thanks you anticipating.
What's going to come?
Okay?
All right Do you put I got slogans your eggs?
Did you put half and half?
No, I don't I don't I know I probably a lot of people do I don't
know dry or crumbly
um
I would think the cheese might give it.
Oh, yeah, you know creaminess.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's what's
doing and the protein
powder Well that I don't know about that It's good for you.
I think it is but good for that in with a drink I don't I don't think I'd put that in my eggs.
I'll try it.
I'll make you guys some.
No, that's alright.
I'll make it sure
I'm trying to cut way back.
Yeah, it's gonna cut back Vicky says good morning guys Vicky is always our first person and Adam Vicky.
What do you do?
Do you work or just get up early
early?
Do you sleep?
Let us know um, let us know where you people listen.
We won't that's why my old shows everybody had a nickname
I mean, there was Nob and Meet Mama and just Ma and Big Daddy.
Everybody had nicknamed them because they're all at work.
So let us know where you are.
Terry says Nick Gonnery tonight at Copper State.
That's cool.
Copper's great.
Yeah, that's a great place, especially when the weather's nice.
Yeah, sitting outside there.
Michael says, glad the quiche worked out.
Thanks, Michael.
Yeah, it did.
It was great.
And then I kind of cheated a little bit because I went to my mom yesterday and I...
I brought her some keys.
How's mother's day with your mom?
It was
great.
It was great.
My brothers were there.
Yeah, she's 92 and she just rattles off the questions.
And
she's
very
interested in your kids and just everything.
So we planned we're going over the 4th of July.
We're going to spend a couple of days together.
Nice.
Just got that all planned.
Because everybody wants to spend time with.
And we don't get together as a family.
That's like too too many people.
Yeah, I just have her with your family,
you
know little one-on-one So
anyway,
it was great.
We had a fun day yesterday.
So yeah, I brought her some leftover quiche bread and tell her that I just
got another one here.
Good morning gentlemen Chris a.k.a.
Vinnie Vin Manchen so zoop Got a good thing here that almost sounds really good except the protein powder Well, no three to one that really adds to it.
I'm gonna do this.
I'm gonna do that I'm gonna do a taste test for you guys.
I'm gonna make some
Exactly.
I make it without protein powder and I'm gonna make one with protein powder.
I'm not gonna tell you which one is which but I'm gonna ask you guys which one do you think tastes better?
Boom!
Think it's gonna be the protein powder.
Just be honest.
Mike says I'm always listening in my Uber car forcing my riders to become new listeners.
Thank you Mike.
Thank you Mike.
Brian, again, always starting off with a nice little word of encouragement, Brian says, anything you guys can dream, you can be your all winners.
Oh, thank you.
Runners up.
Thank you, dad.
Brian, we're runners up.
Got this.
I work from home and start by the 4 a.m.
Flexible schedule, Vicky.
Like that, Vicky.
4 a.m.
Nice.
That's nice, nice, nice.
You know what thing is we're talking last week about you know people working from home and some places don't like it and whatever whatever whatever whatever.
Oh, yeah Um, I know a lot of people Who really hated that but here's okay, but I'm gonna be honest when the people would tell me that certain people I'm not gonna mention names um in the back of my mind with some of my
I bet your co-workers don't feel that way because they were like the people that seemed to miss the most.
They were the ones like when you were trying, and I'm probably one of those people that was annoying, but when you're trying to get some work done and they're always,
yeah.
That
wasn't loud enough.
That's what
it was.
What the hell was that?
Duck just got stepped on.
They were sitting there like working at
home because of the annoying employee that comes
in.
Oh my crap, Duck just got run over by a Uber.
So they were they like working from home because the annoying employee doesn't
know their office was the opposite They hated working from home because they missed the interaction But what I'm saying is some of the people I told me that they were the ones that
it's like they were the interaction
they were the interaction to the point of Yeah, I'm trying to get this done.
Yeah, and I don't know if I'm
Well,
I will say this, I enjoy working from home because I can't be, I can control being bothered.
That's the number one thing, I get more done when I'm not around other people.
My biggest problem working at home, you go to turn off the TV and you accidentally hit, you know, what's next, it's like, really good fellas is on.
That was never a problem.
10 minutes, I'm watching, I'm watching 10 minutes of this and that's it.
I believe that
time.
Just annoying you.
I would think you would be very successful working from home.
He says this morning show since Murphy in the morning.
You make my day.
Thank you, Patty.
It's really nice of you.
Awesome.
Very nice of you.
Could you work from home?
I like the environment in a workplace.
I do.
I do.
I like meetings.
I think I know I just think you're more creative in a group of people, but maybe not.
I just know that work from home wasn't for me.
No.
Nope, I like being that I don't think I'm the annoying employee.
I hope I'm not I just think there's things like I think you know I'm one of those guys think one plus one equals three when it comes to employees working together I like I like group team meetings.
I do I grew up in that though.
That's why But a lot of people just
They go, they work from home.
I don't know if I can do this.
And then they're like, oh my God, this is so great.
You know, I can just get online and.
A lot of people, and I don't know, as long as the business is successful,
whatever works.
I think a lot depends on the type of job.
Like in real estate, there's almost no reason to go into a broken mortar in real estate these days.
They're so good about sharing things.
So I'm saying, you're right.
In the real estate business, you had to watch your back.
They could listen
to phone
calls.
You had to watch your
back.
Absolutely.
But Mino, didn't you also see that in radio sales?
100%.
Yeah.
I think, I think anywhere in sales, like even I would think a car dealership, you know, somebody walking your turf out there.
Yeah.
Hey,
that's, you know, that's a good point.
That's why I'm sure they liked working at home because you don't have to worry about it.
Right.
Speak as loud as, as much as you want.
Yeah.
Don't come over to my house and mull my grass.
Right.
Right.
I've never heard that one before.
Oh, you haven't?
No.
It means you
stand your own turf.
Don't come,
oh, yeah.
Don't act like you're doing me a favor by coming over and mowing my grass.
There's an ulterior motive.
In real estate, John?
Oh.
For those of you scoring at home, that was a sarcastic question.
Oh, man.
I, yes, I think you're right about that,
but.
Welcome to Monday morning.
It's the wine of the mare.
Is there a better time of year than the middle of May?
Oh, this is great.
Is there a better time of year than May?
Couldn't you, wouldn't you like to just have like,
Four months of, like, the middle of May.
Yeah, there's no bugs.
There's
nothing
yet.
Although I was listening to Lisa this morning.
She said there's wood, there's ticks.
Well,
it's this time of year, yeah.
In the city?
Oh, I know, in the city.
Boy, the UP, I gotta be honest with you, the northern Wisconsin, really dry again already.
I mean, really dry, like fire warnings, no campfires.
I'll be honest, we could probably use a little rain.
Yeah, we could.
Says Gardner Todd.
Exactly.
Hey, it is nutty fudge day.
I'm not a fudge guy.
Limerick Dave, there wasn't all man from that bucket.
Well, it's checkup day.
Very, very important.
Craft beer week.
Yes, sir.
Oh, we got to talk about
this.
Quick break.
Mind of the matter, we're just getting started.
WGPW 98.3 96.5 FM WSS and of course the civic media app worldwide along with a m 1100 and 1590 a.m.
We found your Milwaukee Brewer's games over the weekend Things that they've been up and down up and down up and down start playing good and then they can't hit yep one of those things
Enjoy the nice weather the next few days next week.
50s just in time for Memorial Day.
I thought I was supposed to be like 80s this week though, right?
That's a
good week.
He's talking about I heard by Saturday, maybe 60s and that
might
fall off after that.
Well, we've got, you know what?
She's not on this morning because she's on vacation.
Oh, I did not know that.
Okay.
Wow.
We'll have to look it up and take a best guess.
Looks like upper 50s next week.
Hey, I got a great.
I'm sorry, that's the time of year you need something.
No, you're not gonna get out.
No, that's... Well, I don't know.
Wisconsin, we might like it.
Hey, I got a different subject.
What do you think about the president's new gift?
The plane?
$400 million.
Do you see that thing?
I'm living it.
The palace.
I couldn't believe that.
I didn't hear any rumblings of that.
I just really read that yesterday.
I'm like, oh my god, that's that is significant.
What a toy.
What's a toy?
It's something.
It's, it's something.
Yeah.
And then they, they, I should say they investigated it because I mean, that's the largest gift in the history of our country that a president's receiving.
Okay.
And they looked into it.
The Justice Department.
But who would look into that?
Obviously the Justice Department, but there's another agency that looked into it.
And they're like, I think this is legit, because there's no strings attached.
Now, you might say there's implied things, but there's no, you got this and you gotta come and pick us up once or give us a tour or do this.
I just, I was like, wow, that is, that's, man.
I'm gonna send them a letter and I'll just take a jet.
So what he's doing with the old one, huh?
Oh my gosh.
Hey, hang on.
All right, he's bringing his stuff What it's two guys he's Johnny's making his what is this Johnny juice.
What is that John that you're drinking this morning?
Let's take all right.
Well, that's good.
You're getting on this.
Here's what I don't understand.
It's a bottle.
Okay.
It's not a cup
So how do you spill from a bottle with that small opening into your mouth?
Okay.
Okay.
I'm gonna tell you how.
Please do it.
I wasn't watching.
I just went over and it's all over the table.
Welcome to Mr. Science.
He's
gonna
show us something.
And it actually even says this on the packets to do this and I don't do it.
It says take a drink before you put the stuff in.
Right.
Cause then it gets even more.
Yeah.
And I always forget to take that drink and that it overflows on me and stuff.
So, we're good.
So that's effervescent?
A little bit effervescent.
Boy, I've been using the beeswax tallow too.
It's working.
Is it?
Yeah.
What is that again?
Beeswax tallow.
Yeah.
Oh, what is it for your face?
Make my skin luminescent.
Luminous luminescent.
Yep.
And it's working.
I can tell.
Can people at home tell?
Let me get a close-up of that.
It's interesting.
I think
so.
I'll take interesting.
But someone takes clothes look your face and say Yeah, interesting.
Are you when you walk do you put on like a you like visors to wear visor all the time?
Yeah, that's good.
You know what I got to get though.
I got to get a boonie
What's that,
you know, it's the kind of like those far guys where right?
Well, no, no, not the big one.
It's like what good guys wear like in Iraq Afghanistan if they weren't on combat missions They want to say the sun a little bit.
Yeah, it's the kind that comes down
You know more.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
To be honest with you, if it was camouflage, it would be like with Gilligan war, right?
And Gilligan's eye, right?
Yeah, to keep this really help the sun.
So
I could
see you
walking
around in one of those.
Me too.
That's funny that that was a ref.
Oh, yeah.
Well, he says Gilligan's Island.
You know, everybody knows it.
You go from this military.
Exactly Gilligan war.
But that's generational, too.
I mean, there's some people that.
would say who's still alive.
Yeah, yeah,
a lot
of people.
I didn't know that.
I thought they were all.
Are

Some casino where she because they didn't make a lot.
She won't know.
She's a teacher.

What?
Swear to God.
Yes.
She could, like, there's people who are interested.
Oh, cash in if you're kidding me, no question.

I was fascinated by that show.
Oh my God.

Okay.

Nobody would put his body on the line, no matter what, more than Paul Horning.
Would he go out and do it?
They said, after practice, they'd go to his house.
They'd do a whole picture of, like, martinis, and they'd drink martinis and go to a movie or go for it.
That was, like, every night, OK?
But the next day of practice?
Really?
No,
that's pretty cool.
And these other guys wanted to be the Playboy flamboyant part.
But they didn't have
the recovery.
Exactly.
Yeah.
That's the difference.
All these guys thought they could be that way, but they didn't realize when the...
That's the switch boom.
Yeah, that's too bad.
They didn't have a coach or somebody that said look Yeah That's not the way to do it and you've got a problem.
Absolutely.
Yeah, cuz these guys lost careers
Not even a question so many of them want it to be that way even then the Broadway Joes or whatever, but I
get
it Yeah, but he ain't even one of a guy I talked to one time was teammates with Joe Namath He was actually from the UP is from a nominee Michigan Bill Radamaker.
I said tell me one
about Joe Namath that, you know, I don't know all about his, you know, the night before the Super Bowl, 90% of what Joe Namath did off the field is exaggerated.
Oh yeah.
He said you should flip it.
90% of what made Joe Namath was Joe Namath watch more film than anybody.
Joe Namath was really smart.
Really?
Joe Namath could dissect.
a defense because he studied them.
He said nobody talks about that part.
So everybody wanted to be like Joe Nambler.
I'm going to go party all night long before a game.
And he liked that, though.
I mean, he didn't
deny that.
No.
So
he
was studying film.
That's cool.
Yeah.
So you've met Paul Horning.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Hey, guys, you know what?
I'm almost I'm losing you.
I'm almost to Green Bay.
Hang
up.
Yeah.
He I told you another one.
Statue dedicated to him and I don't know if somebody dedicated a statute to me.
I think I'd be really really appreciative
I tell you sorry buddy of mine.
He was that Paul Horning was doing Paul Horning wrote like 12 books.
Let's be honest No disrespect you might like once right pack her books these days.
That's that's great But about the glory years, I don't think there's another story has to be told a hundred boy hundred times hundred hundred times hundred times
And it's like rewriting the Bible or something.
It is.
It's the same.
Just let's move this paragraph over here.
But anyway, he was at a book signing at festival and like nobody was there, you know, late and you sit there by, you know, and that's, trust me, I've been there.
And so buddy of mine went there.
He goes, Hey, Paul, my dad, I was told me the story that, I don't know if it's true or not.
He said to ask, is it true that the president got you a pass so you could play in the championship game for the Packers when you're in the army?
He goes, yeah, I think Kennedy was nervous because he and I were hooking up with some of the same broads.
I believe he said that.
Exactly.
He told me
that festival foods.
That's funny.
I could get him on the air right now.
That is funny.
I really hate the story.
Yeah.
Hey, we got this one.
Hey, guys, I'm back in Gastonia, North Carolina, back to the grind.
Paul Handler, bodybuilding guy.
Paul, how did that go?
I couldn't make it over the last Saturday.
I had to go to out of town.
How did it go?
Let us know.
Paul, please give us a report on the bodybuilding competition.
Did any of the people we had in here that day win?
We'd like to know.
That was also good.
Morning, guys.
Kerry.
Hey, Kerry.
How you doing?
Cool.
Yeah.
Paul, give us a call.
Yeah.
Also got here.
Paul was a regular, a little candlestick downtown when he had come to Green Bay.
That is true.
That was a good bar.
That was that.
And that was.
Well,
that again, that was a great bait right next to it.
Well, it moved.
It used to be right next to Angelina's.
Okay.
Yep.
Right next to Delilah's Delilah's,
right?
No, a little bit
further north.
Yeah, I think Angelina's would be in between or whatever, but on that row.
That's yeah, I remember that.
But before that
candlestick lounge, that's great name too, right?
Oh, yeah.
Was it where shop houses?
Republic shop house?
Steakhouse?
I didn't know it at one time.
I didn't I only knew it on Washington on Adams.
Okay, I didn't know it over there.
I thought it moved.
I thought it won But that was the place where all the old newspaper people all the old TV people after work You know the newspaper guys are done with their thing TV guys know their thing right down the street all meat Yeah, it was that kind of a place
but times have changed.
We don't have happy hours much as we
back
30 years
We should bring it back.
I agree
She started at like nine in the morning.
Listen, I'm telling you.
We're done with work at nine.
Exactly.
Let's go.
Here we go.
We'll start it.
That's like those old bars.
Do they still do that?
The old bars?
They do.
Well, Seastreat's a cool place.
I like Seastreat.
That's like what you're talking about.
No, no, no, no.
The ones on Broadway.
Politicians.
Where guys who get done with what we used to call midnight shift.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, they're still around.
Are
they still?
Oh, yeah.
You can still go in there because you got to, they have every right to have drinks after work.
It's just they're
after work.
Absolutely.
You know, when you work midnight till seven.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But bars are allowed to be opened that early, right?
Or no?
I think yes.
I can't see guys doing that anymore though, can you?
I- because of their-
The world's different
I don't think you can get away with that today
do they let us anybody out there let us know can bars be open early anymore for you know where I'm from My mom told me the wives one time had like not a revolt but a bunch of wives
went
to the office the at Cleveland Cliff's iron company and Demanded that the checks be sent home
through the mail, because they were handing guys the checks and getting them cashed at the bars.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, that direct deposit kind of messed things up too.
However,
I worked... Kept families together, but it messed things up for the guys.
I worked at a company and we got bonuses, and some of them were significant, two, three, four thousand, and they were nice enough.
It was all guys, which, okay, again, I'm dating myself, but they cut the bonus checks.
To the guys.
Yeah, which was very cool because I know they didn't tell their wives I mean I was single then but I mean they didn't dot and That was something the company.
No, it's like it was up to you to your taxes, right?
But That was like a perk that people appreciated.
I know a guy worked for Nabisco
Let's be
company.
Yep.
Great job for Nabisco and he'd be like Saturday and be he'd be home in bed literally and he'd get a call at like one in the morning from one of the salespeople they're in Hey, what's my bonus?
I gotta know
the bookies on me
honest to God He would get calls at night wanting to know what their bonuses were going to be because they were out and Didn't want their wives to know and spend that money that they were given exactly.
Yeah
Wow, so that must have been I thought that was like this rare thing as an oh my
god
I put John again.
We're talking 30 years ago though.
I mean that's him.
You're probably talking Mid-late 60s early 70s.
Oh, that's that far ago
But can you see why they would do that?
Absolutely.
I mean, no, I mean,
no.
Why would they?
Because they're all it's together.
We're in all this together.
But
I thought that
was really funny.
And some of these, like I said, some of those checks were pretty significant.
I don't know what they did with the money.
But yeah, that was that was a perk that they didn't brag about, you know, like keep your own airline miles that we got to do that too.
But that bonus thing was rated very high.
Yo, that was a big thing one year in the NBA.
When I was covering the NBA, the NBA player said, Hey, listen, we do a lot of traveling.
Shouldn't we get frequent flyer model?
And the thing is, the team was pretty much keeping all of them.
Oh, the best before charters.
Oh,
yeah.
So I wonder whatever.
Because that's a lot of miles
back in when they first started up.
It didn't take a lot to get a free ticket.
I mean, now it's not, it's not, you got to, you know, fly, you know, China back 10 times.
But the, I think it was like, like 15 or 12, it was not much.
And then to get upgrades.
That was always a big thing who keeps it.
Oh, well the guy who paid for it should be able to keep it
that was a
big thing in the NBA
Yeah,
but our company where I work they're like you guys can keep that Wow, which was great.
That's a
nice parlay that into a vacation.
Yeah upgrades all that kind of stuff
so great but yeah Anyway,
one
thing I wouldn't do right now
though.
What
it's like Newark.
Yeah, see them.
They're gonna cut it down to 36 flights a day.
Yeah that
Um,
yes.
Wow.
Got a bunch of checks
here.
We always went to Stan's labor temple.
Anybody remember that place?
It opened at five or six in the morning.
Um, Sarah
out
on Elizabeth labor temple.
Was that an Elizabeth that one at all?
Or maybe that's the labor, what's still there?
If I'm thinking of the labor temple, you know, Elizabeth,
honestly, God, I don't know of that one at all.
A labor temple.
I mean, is it temple temple?
No, no, no, no, no, no,
you know, the labor gathering place.
Okay.
Um, used to have triple happy hour at 11 p.m.
at Chi Chi's in Ashwabadan back in the day.
Triple by one.
Wow.
Wow, sir.
Wow, sir.
Why would you have that 11 p.m.?
I don't know, get really
tanked.
Yeah, I
think he meant 11
a.m.
I think Todd wrote it down wrong.
I don't know.
I copied it over from his text directly.
I don't believe that.
Uh, Leroy's in Oshkosh, Todd.
6
AM.
Open
at 6 AM, sodas bottoms up.
All
right.
This
is
Rick.
I've been there.
I bet you have.
I have.
You know
what, you guys?
Let's put that on our goals.
Let's do a show from one of these bars.
I would.
Open at 6.
See who's there?
Why, you know.
Mike says there are a number of bars that open at 7 on State
Street.
Okay, that's close to here, right?
Oh yeah, right across from the
boundary.
But it'd be fun to interview the guy and say, you know, look, I'm entitled to coming here, like you guys come after work.
That would be, I
didn't know state laws, what the state laws were when a bar is
locked.
I think you have to close a tour.
You got to close it, right?
Then I think you can open up fairly soon after that.
Probably seven, get it cleaned up.
Yeah.
Are bars open on Sundays?
Oh,
yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Cause that used to be in Michigan, I think it used to be
in London.
Michigan was, you could not.
You could not open on Sundays.
There's still places like that in the state.
Minnesota was bizarre too.
I told you that story, right?
And we're talking about, um, we're talking about the negative things of alcohol with somebody here the other day.
I forget who.
But anyway, um, I don't pay much attention to that.
But anyway.
That kind of went over
our heads.
But what's negative?
Come on.
But anyway, we're talking about the negative
crops.
He's okay.
That's why
I was thinking that's why I was thinking to open at 6 a.m.
So and that would be right on that stretch.
Oh, that's right.
That's a very
popular place.
Yeah.
So really the cut said don't close for four hours.
Yeah, that's true.
You get but these days you get enough help.
That's the owner.
You know,
that would be fun to bartend at six in the
morning.
Well, then you know, it'd be fun if you live if you lived upstairs and just come down.
Would that be awesome?
That's always been my dream.
When I open my bar, I'm living upstairs.
I mean, you're not far off from it now.
Not at all.
Drinking up the profits.
Yeah, I don't
know.
Okay.
No, but the other thing, it said about how, you know, people use alcohol sometimes in a social setting to kind of, you know, whatever, give you a little bit more courage.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, in Minnesota, I told you that first college party I ever went to in my, and I wanted to talk to this girl.
That's too shy.
Yeah,
okay.
I'm gonna be on I'm the shiest person in the world when it comes to your spirit Okay, I believe that and I think I'll have a few to and it wasn't hit me hit me It's like now that I'm 18 beer doesn't affect me like it used to Well, they have 3.2 beer.
Yeah, you're right.
Yeah,
why
exactly?
No, never hooked up.
No, she regrets it.
Yeah, right
I'm great songs.
Upstairs for ride.
What?
That's fine, John.
Just enjoy it.
You enjoy yourself.
I'm going to finish reading.
I'm
going to hang back.
I'm
going to hang back.
Let me know when you're done.
Yeah.
Favorite song of all time, though, is by the Rolling Stones, Sympathy for the Devil.
Oh, good song.
Great, great, great.
You know one thing about the Rolling Stones that I like?
They were really good writers.
and you understand their lyrics.
I hate it, even with like Dylan and Springsteen sometimes, it's like, you gotta look up the lyrics to find out what they say.
If I'm gonna write a song, when I become a songwriter, you're gonna understand every lyric, you're gonna understand, every word's gonna have meaning.
Yeah, I think there's a lot more that you gotta look up the words, cause it's, yeah.
Would you agree though?
It's like you wanna know what they're saying, and this one guy, one of my guys, my good buddy Mike,
Well, my Vietnam vet, he was talking about the song that would always come in his mind.
He was thinking about what was going on in his first mission before they went out.
And it was, do I dig that girl?
Okay.
Those aren't the words.
So he looked it up.
And it's all the wine.
Yeah.
Yep.
Isn't that something in his entire life since he's been singing that song in his head, completely the wrong lyrics.
But that's the way, you know,
I think that's great.
You can look them up.
Oh, no, I agree.
Yeah, we
say kind of I like
that.
Hey, did you guys okay when you're a kid?
I bet you did did you guys get the Sunday visitor?
Or is that a Michigan the Catholic newspaper?
No, I think it was called the Sunday visitor.
The Sunday visitor.
Yeah, that's a crazy name.
That is
sounds like you only go to church on Sundays.
My mom could
have been the daily visitor.
Every Catholic in the UP used to get the Sunday visitor.
Wow.
Okay, but anyway, it had one of those cool priests.
in the sixties type.
You know what I mean?
Uh-huh.
He's different.
You know, he's more hip.
You know, more of the, whatever, whatever.
Yeah.
And, uh, huh?
Go ahead.
Know what?
And, um, so what he would do every week would take a song and put the lyrics and analyze it.
Oh.
And that was really cool.
Yeah.
Like a popular song?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Popular songs.
So not like a church song.
No.
He was like, he was like the cool priest in like, what was the one where Mary Tyler Moore played the Elvis?
Elvis, yeah.
Elvis, yeah.
He was a change of habit.
Yeah.
Good call.
Give yourself a belt.
Thank you.
That was very good, Todd.
I'm proud of you.
Very good.
Very, very good.
Yeah.
Um, is it Sims?
Who's the guy that I listen to?
Billy Sims.
And I had to look up.
I just took his music a lot, right?
I read
Billy Joel.
No, no, no, no, no.
This is more popular, more current than Billy Joel.
Billy Sims.
No, no, no.
Billy Sims was a great running back for the Lions.
It's from Hooks, Texas.
Okay, that's it.
Oklahoma High Front Trophy winner, 1979.
Oh, I'm going to think of it.
What genre?
I would say it's Billy Squires.
No, forget the Billy.
All right.
Can you sing a little song?
No, I don't want to right
now This is turning into this turning into Mr.. Mom when when when what's his names down there and they're gonna be closing the auto factories or you know guys?

Tony Hawk is 57.
Emilio Estevez is 63.
Stephen Baldwin is 59.
The Baldwin's all turned out a little different, didn't they?

over for him.
Yeah.

I'm not sure I downloaded some stuff off my phone.
That's arena, but mortgages.
You know, one of the things that's, that's, um, slowing down more people buying houses?
And I know we've talked about this a little bit money.
Well assisted living homes and stuff have gotten so expensive those have gotten up like Huge huge huge and people where it's like well, we're gonna be leaving that we're going and it's like holy crap
on yeah No, that's true that
price of those things are keeping people in their houses even though they'd rather leave their houses
That is true those are so expensive.
Yeah, I mean it
That will take, depends how much money you got, but whatever
you
got,
they'll take it.
Yeah, and if you're gonna live, what is it?
When you go into one of those, eight years, seven?
No, less, three?
I don't know, I don't know.
There's a statistic on when you go in, average.
But still, if you take six grand a month.
A month.
And times that times, you know, 36, 48.
Close to a million bucks if you keep going.
Every dime you saved by having that color that would black and white TV instead of the color TV in 1978
Don't you feel bad for those people?
So hard
money under the masters
to my family.
Yes, not even a question.
So not even a question that will yeah It's funny because we were just you know, we're similar in age we went sat down with our financial planner and He talked about that and I do you think you're gonna end up in a nursing home because I don't me.
Yeah
Do you hope not really you're oh see I just I don't know on he was looking That's
a nursing home or an assisted living home because I will see this assisted living homes a lot of them are really nice I've interviewed all numerous veterans in assisted living homes, and they're the Mac Daddy's life life is really good when I think of a nursing home.
Yeah, I think of the
yeah in the room with the
Well, I mean I remember they turned up in my hometown they had a
Uh, an old sanitarium.
Okay.
That's an old word.
That's an old word.
A sanitarium.
Todd, do you know what a sanitarium is?
He's young.
Do you?
Yeah.
Wow.
Where they put people with tuberculosis.
Or other things.
Other
things.
Okay.
But that's what this was built for was for tuberculosis with iron lungs and things.
Okay.
Yeah.
And I remember my grandma was first put in and I used to when I was a flower delivery guy and I have to go and those were depressing places.
They were very depressing.
Yeah, and they don't come out of there, right?
No.
But now with these assisted living, they're phenomenal.
I mean, they're expensive, but they're fantastic
places.
It's great.
Those are, I guess what I'm, could I deal with that?
Like, even that assisted living, one of them, they have a bar.
Oh, yeah!
You know?
Oh, there's one in Amsterdam.
I think it's Evergreen.
They have Happy Hour.
They got this huge bar.
They've got bowling leagues.
They got...
electronic bowling leagues in the
place.
They got some educational programs.
It's like going back to college.
It's like, it's incredible.
No, that I could do in a hard
way.
That's what I'm saying.
That I could adjust to, because like I said, it's like.
throwback to when we were in school.
Oh, I could see me during Happy or Sick at the bar regaling people with stories.
Would that be fun?
I'm sure
they got to have some kind of voice to the management that could run for office.
Absolutely.
You know, raise
a little hell.
Would you guys want me living in your assisted living home?
Yes or no?
Oh, we talked about
that neighbor coming over the fence.
It's a yes or no.
I'm going to throw this out there too.
We need a prize package today, Todd.
All right.
What have you got for a price pack?
I got a $25 gift card from Nikolay Bank.

of thing we got in the morning.
I'm just saying thrown it out there
Yeah, we got Kristen Ambo's coming up at 730.
Daryl Burnett from the automobile gallery and event center Festa Italiana, which is phenomenal.
You know, I walked past through the other two and sub art stars car You forget how tiny those cars used to be those vets Is that though?
I mean the sports cars back in the
sixties.
Well that was
So I
mean that was cool, but that was cool, but man were they small
two people.
That's it.
Yeah,
you forget about that Yeah, then they had think that they have an MG remember the old MGs That was one at right up here at the downtown that I just love it's the greatest old-school garage
or downtown auto
downtown They've got one out in front that they were working on
an MG.
Yeah.
Yeah,
but you just
that's a small car.
Oh my goodness are those little cars.
Yeah, those
I wouldn't I wouldn't buy one of those.
Do you remember the Corvair's?
When they were considered like the worst car there was
later thing
Yes, yeah unsafe at any speed.
I think it was called Wow, they were crazy weren't they like I've only seen film of it Yeah, there's there's a legend and I nobody's been able to prove if this is true or not because you know who I talked about going over the Mackinac bridge in bad weather is kind of scary Yeah, because those railings aren't very high.
It's almost like the kid at the Pittsburgh game that
fell over the railing.
And you always felt like I, when I drove over in the U-Haul that one time and it was windy, you felt like August and I'm, I'm over the railing.
I mean, I was, I was nervous.
But there's, there's a legend.
Is there anybody from the UP and especially the Eastern UP that remembers ever heard this, that one car literally flew off and it was a small and I want to say was a Corvair, they said, and a huge truck, you know, just blew by it on a windy day and caught it.
As this car was was doing whatever and it literally went airborne over the railing Wow,
I don't think so.
You don't think it ever happened.
I they would have taken some Safety measures on that.
No, that's that's that's very thin it would have been people no, I don't think so
But they say it was a young girl and she was by herself and they never heard from her again.
Well, no Wow, that'd be interesting if that's
just a love of that alleged that lives on from a chip was undone to the big like they call it get you goomy.
I don't know
I'm just saying that Yeah, that's interesting and that could happen.
I will I'll agree with you on that bridge.
Yeah Why is why do you have to save a couple of bucks by having it this slow when one more foot would like eliminate any problems?
The view
maybe, huh?
I don't know neither,
but even at these ball games Man, yeah, I mean like I said, we've got this before the old stadium at County Stadium up in those upper decks.
I think
That Pittsburgh one, I think they're going to raise that.
I don't know what it is three feet.
Oh, yeah.
No, that's not high enough.
No.
Think of these people.
People are tall nowadays.
So somebody six, five, six, six, right?
Or your center of gravity.
Oh, yeah.
That.
Yeah.
No, that wouldn't work.
No.
No, I don't
know about any death.
That's the one good advantage of being a low center of gravity that I have.
I'll never go over really.
Although I still think it would have been really funny if I did that story that I wanted to do for the TV station that time.
where, you know, gotta be careful at games.
And I was going to do that where I'm like, oh, leaning over a thing.
There was going to have a dummy dressed exactly like me.
Have it fall off.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
But you could have been funny and great.
Yeah.
That.
Yeah.
But the danger with that is you could have fallen over.
Not the dummy you.
No, it would have been
fine.
Me having a problem.
Come on.
Ain't going to happen.
So anyway, it's limerick day.
Give us a limerick to win a nice prize package.
OK.
OK.
I'm going to read this that somebody just text me.

I don't know that I would and it was a corvair.
I don't know I don't know
it wasn't a corvette play that
no it wasn't a vet But it might have been a corvair.
Let me see I gotta read this I gotta read this I gotta read this Todd are you proud of me?
Why?
Because you're using your phone?
Well, besides that, because I figured high wind warnings on the Mackinac Bridge strike fear in the hearts of motorists, especially those who remember the story of Leslie Plouhar.
Plouhar, a waitress from Royal Oak, was speeding across the bridge in 1987.
You go.
Oh, yeah, that's right up there with the Corvair.
On September 22, 1989, when 48 mile per hour wind gusts caused her to lose control and plunge off the five mile suspension bridge to her death, her car veered left onto the bridge's four inch.
and then back across the north bottom lanes, hitting a curb, jumping an outer guardrail.
Plurals vehicle went off the bridge and into the Straits of Mackinaw.
It took Michigan State police divers eight days to find the mangled Ugo, which was resting in waters 152 feet deep.
Investigators say Plunar had been traveling more than 60 miles per hour, but couldn't determine what made her car veer.
But her speeding was considered to be a factor in the accident.
That's why the Mackinac Bridge Authority recommends that motorists travel no faster than 20 miles an hour during high wind events.
The case captured headlines nationally.
And that was, their answer was slow down when it's windy.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's sad.
That girl was, but what, let's see.
So she hit the median,
the force before it, and she just
jerked it
back.
Yeah.
But
still, I mean to go.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
What a way to go.
Yes.
Because
you know where you're going.
You still know what's going on.
Right.
Yeah.
I agree.
Terrible.
OK.
All right.
Well, you're right on that one.
I didn't know that.
89, that's not like
forever ago.
OK.
The problem is with the you go was if you're in an accident, you go.
Sandy.
That's true.
That is that is that
has
been Consider one of the worst cars ever made right?
It's got to be it's got to be
that's junk.
Yeah, that's a French
Check the Slovakian you go Slovian.
Oh, I guess you go you go Slovians.
All right.
I remember another remember the Renault's are en a ult yes Those were bad cars.
I think I was am see who did Kevin just bring in here.
What's Kevin doing?
What's Kevin doing?
Kevin Van Ness just walked in.
Kevin, don't you have some place to be?
Get in here.
They want you on the mic.
Get in here.
Guess what this is?
It's, I know what it is.
That instrument we're talking about?
Yeah.
Yeah.
The boards?
It's called, this is called a Vibraslap.
That's
the
Vibraslap.
This is the Vibraslap.
And um... Kevin, do you have one of those in your band?
Oh, Kevin
Van Ness.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it's, you know, it's kind of fun.
I thought Todd could use that, you know, like the old days when
you're... He played that in high school, right?
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Absolutely.
He was in the percussion section and he played the Vyberslap when he was in high school.
Does he still have it?
Todd and Kevin just brought
him one.
Does he still have the talent?
Of course.
You're ready for this?
Let her go Todd.
Ladies and gentlemen, now here's what you came here to listen to this morning on the Monday morning on Mind of the Bear.
WGBW WISS Monday morning Vyberslap.
by Todd
Michaels.
Yeah.
Thank you for being here.
Wow.
That's it.
That's it.
Right there.
What song was that again from the famous one?
Oh, what did I use it?
Did we use that?
Crazy train.
Crazy train.
Crazy train.
Ozzie.
You're right.
There you go.
Did Mr. Viber
slap?
Did he make money on that?
Is that a patented thing?
Oh, that's a big lad.
Latin percussion, they use it all the time.
Yeah.
Like what's the history of that?
Cause you know, when East champion comes in here, talk about 12,000 years ago, this was a, you know, ancient Chinese Inca yada, yada, yada.
And they crafted it with reeds from the Nile River.
He bought it on
Amazon.
Give us the background here, Kevin.
Well, you know, they use it a lot of Latin music, but actually a rock and roller.
So it was a cute, cool sound effect.
Oh, it is cool.
Yeah.
They kind of made it famous.
But
is that one of those things where somebody wants to be in the band, but they don't have a lot of talent?
Like,
if I
wanted to be, would I be a Vibers snapper or whatever
that's
called?
Slapper?
Vibers?
I
think you guys still gotta know where to come
in with that.
Yeah, come in and you can't hold it too tight because the vibrations go through that little wood ball all through the metal.
There's a
science behind
that.
That's not the
symbols.
You might have to practice it once there.
here, Todd.
No idea.
No idea.
His job
is just to do the
Viber
Slap.
That's right.
We're taking Kevin Van Esses with us.
Tell us again what you brought in here, Kevin.
Viber Slap.
Could you be in a high school band and say you wanted to play the Viber Snap?
Slap.
You would play some other percussion stuff.
That's exactly right.
You'd have to know.
Maracas,
right?
Yeah.
And actually a lot of people think if you're not very talented, just give the kid a Viber Slap.
But actually you have to know exactly when to hit it because it's not like you're going to sky something like that if you didn't know.
Sounds like
something my dad would give me if I didn't have a cold pass to the fridge waiting for
him.
Actually, I had one student.
I said, you know, he's asked when should I hit.
I said, well, just pretend.
Remember the old days when you'd say you're fooling around.
You'd say, I like the.
Cuff you, knock it off.
Absolutely, that's what I mean.
So I said, when I do that, pretend you're just
cuffing somebody, and it worked great.
I'll be damned, but I've never, I've literally, I've never seen or heard of that
before.
Joe Cocker's band uses it quite a bit.
Oh yeah,
feeling all right.
Really?
Yeah.
Wow.
Got tired of his shell with that thing.
That's awesome.
Hey,
we got
Texter, John Minow, percussionist wannabe.
His career starts tonight at Schwaben on Community Band Concert.
Ashwabana PC seven o'clock.
It is free for my man Teddy Luda That is a great event.
They've got going out there tonight.
Yeah, and you're gonna.
Why is he serious?
I can't get out there.
No.
Oh, I didn't know if you were gonna give you
know, I'd love to but I want to get out the question
section
I can't you know, it's funny when you hadn't heard about something all of a sudden you hear about it and then you hear about it all the time Yeah, Ashwabana community that what's it called the Ashwabana just all violence here banned AVB,
right?
But but the actual
venue the PAC
Right.
Yeah.
It's like now, it's
like
Holy Cow.
Is that ever popular?
It's great.
I mean, we've played there in the backstage and all the dressing rooms.
They got a big place for the grand piano.
And yeah, it's really professional.
That's awesome.
Music over the last eight to 10 years in Northeast Wisconsin has, I think, exploded in so many more venues and so many more opportunities for all different types of music.
Wouldn't you agree?
Oh, John, I played all over and I'll tell you.
You'd be shocked the talent in Northeast Wisconsin and Green Bay in the valley.
We see it.
People think it's a frozen tundra.
I know, you know, I go down to Orleans and these guys, I brought up the, uh, drummer for boots Randolph.
He played with the Packer Bandwins, you know, the Acquity Sex.
Absolutely.
And he was actually originally from Fond du Lac.
Really?
And then he went down to try and make it in Nashville.
And actually what happened is he was having a hard time doing it.
And then, uh, boots Randolph's agent called him one night and Saturday said, uh, I need a drum.
Can you do it?
He didn't even know the main song was Yackity Sax.
You better learn that's a guy's big hit that he plays every night.
And he took off and he was made it down in Nashville.
Then when he came up to Green Bay, he said, I can't believe Kevin over the years how this has changed.
I said, there's a lot of talent in Northeast Wisconsin.
Amazing.
And the facilities to play in.
I think maybe the talents always been here, but they didn't have the venue opportunities.
You're talking about evergreen.
I heard you guys.
Yeah, we played down there.
It's almost like a cruise ship.
Isn't that something?
Yeah.
That's, I think that's great.
We're going to play in the Evergreen, you know, at the retirement community.
Okay.
You know, there's a, we get down.
These guys are partying better than you.
Yes.
I live there right now.
I'm moving right
now.
That's where we're going.
So you finished up your show, uh, the daddy's production, the patriotic show, which I had heard was a
great
show.
And then, so what's next for you?
I mean,
this Wednesday we're doing a community concert at the community center in Dupir at one o'clock.
So one hour concert, anybody can come.
And then I head to Montana for a week.
Then we come back and I start the Daddy D's rock show.
He's doing a 60, 70s, 80s show.
Oh, that sounds like
fun.
Those are fun.
And then you talk to the town, probably plays about 30, 40 concerts all over the place.
Good texture.
Good morning.
Hello to Kevin from Patrick.
Oh, good morning.
Good morning.
It's amazing how you can do this as long as you want,
right?
I play over 100 shows a year right now, Jim.
Yeah, see that's
all over the place right now.
We're already booked in Florida in February.
You should see what he
does It's a retirement community, but boy.
Yeah, you connect with that group.
I've seen video on that.
Well, Florida is great
Okay, did you bust a bunch of them up for the thing we came to at legacy that night?
Yeah That's
nice that you're
The other thing I like about you, and you've been teaching what, 30 some years, but you always compliment, it's not like you think you're the best and there's all these other places.
You really share the opportunity for people to get into music and encourage the community to look elsewhere besides talking to the town and your place.
Oh, Jim, we went to Webster.
It was packed.
300, 400 elementary kids just going wild.
You know, we coming with our Dixieland.
Right.
jazz and you're thinking these kids are still going wild.
But you're inspiring them.
Like I said, we brought the drummer up on stage.
I'm sure that little boy is going to be a drummer.
You know, the band, we could sign up every kid for a band.
That's awesome.
And what a great, what I'm looking for, but to have band is just great because you can do it by yourself.
You can do it with other people and it's, it can be a lifelong.
Yeah, that's cool.
In my band, I tell them, you know, there's no egos.
We go on the right.
Right out in the audience and play with those kids sit next to him and play you know the real thing I mean no one took played clarinet because they saw somebody squeaking hot cross buns They saw something cool.
I want to do that, you know, so And I'm sure I'm always educated I'm always learning Jim I turn every day when a minute you think you know it all you might as well throw the instrument away because they're done playing right
are you doing
There's so many opportunities now to listen to music, which I
think is great.
Actually, Green Bay were the last Thursday in June.
Green Bay is going to kind of put on a senior, but anybody's invited and Jackson Square, they're going to try.
All right.
That's been a while.
They need to get back to that.
Yeah.
Because they do the Friday night on Foxes, which is great, but there's a certain.
Type of folks that will go there compared to some of the older folks, right?
They're a little bit hesitant about going down town on Friday night and getting back You know they like to be home before it's dark afternoon concerts are great sounds like me We're gonna
plan
that day, but I think hey hey, what if we put together a band
No, the
four of
us.
Let's put together the itinerary
Todd you can play that thing the vibrator.
This is
it
We got Pam in doing whatever he does.
Vibrator.
Vibrous slap.
I'll be something.
Yeah, you can play the vibrator.
Yeah, that's fine.
Jim, you can
introduce us.
OK.
We're going to go from here to Cropse's, right?
Because they open up at 7.
Absolutely.
What time's your?
OK, we're going to.
You ain't got it?
I'll plan it out.
You ain't got it?
Go to Cropse's.
We'll bring the band on
there,
see what's
going on.
Kristen Ambo's joining us.

It's easy to take Mino and the Mayor wherever you go.
Now back to Mino and the Mayor.
Here's John Mino and Jim
Schmidt.
A cool instrument of which I've never seen before that Todd is now going to be an expert at, Todd.
Viberslap,
right?
Viberslap.
And Todd, he said happy birthday to you.
Did you?
Is it your birthday?
No, you know it's not.
All right.
OK.
I don't know why he said that then.
All right.
Because
he's a very nice person.
He knows my birthday.
And
gave you the gift.
Yeah.
Unlike anybody else here, he gave me a gift.
Wow.
Happy birthday, Todd.
Thank
you.
All right.
All right.
Six months later.
I'll just say it every week now.
Your hat away.
It can never be late.
Chris and Ambo.
Good morning.
Point mortgage corporation.
I tell you what, this is a time you're to have an open house or something.
Heck
yeah.
Weather is nice.
Everybody wants
to get outside, kick some tires.
They were crazy this weekend.
There were people in and out of open houses all over the place.
So it was a, you're right.
It was a great day or great weekend.
That's
cool.
For a house shopping.
And they're going to need you.
Because not a lot of people are paying cash,
right?
They were but now it's they're gonna have to borrow money and you have just a plethora of different interest rates
that
you have Are people still looking for that locked in 30 year or do they're getting more aggressive with these arms?
It's you know, it's It's one or the other and here's the hard part with the adjustable rate mortgage and in that too and the like I was doing a lot of
We'll call it research, right?
Where I'm online all weekend looking at where my competitors' rates are at, where the bank's rates are at, what they're offering.
And I'm still mind blown at the amount of balloons that are out there.
Yeah, that's scary.
Yeah, it is.
In my opinion, that's not, you know, it's just as crazy as the option arm.
Remember the option arm from 15 years ago where you could decide if you wanted to, there were four options.
There was the interest only there was the 30 or the 15 year or you could go negative amortization So that's where you ended up paying a lesser amount, but then just tacking the equity onto your house A balloon is not like an option arm.
I want to be very clear on that But it is just as risky in my opinion
aren't you assuming on a balloon but three five year whatever?
Yeah, okay, then they're gonna refinance
right,
but they could also call the loan right the balloon will call the loan
So
that's what people don't understand.
And that's what, in my opinion, from talking to clients, the consumer is not aware of because the banks are not educating them on what the balloon means.
They
just hear, oh,
I'm fixed in for five years.
And then I gotta refinance.
They don't understand that, though.
They don't understand that they have to refinance or sell it.
With that balloon, it comes due.
With the adjustable rate mortgage, your rate can adjust accordingly after year one.
The part they don't understand on that adjustment is if they're not preemptive on it,
that arm can sometimes go up as much as 5% on the first year adjustment and then 2% every year.
I thought it was 2.
Wow, that's significant.
It just depends on what the arm is, but the clients don't know to ask what the terms of the arm are, and the lenders aren't educating them.
That's kind of scary.
It's very scary.
Because
even if your payment stays the same,
You're interested going from three to eight, you know, for that 5%, you're just not building any equity.
No.
And so this is a perfect example, like just close with a lady about 10 days ago.
She has been in the same home for 30 years.
She's been banking with the same local bank.
Every time she did a refinance, they refinanced her into an armor or a balloon.
30 years later, she stole $40,000 on it and she didn't know how to get out.
And every time they did it, they tacked on more fees, more loan costs, treated it like a refining.
Wow.
But it was an arm and she didn't know any better.
And so we finally got her on a fixed rate she could afford for the same amount, same payment as she had on this arm.
And it's going to equity.
And now it's all going to equity.
Ugh.
30 years later, it broke my heart.
So she's underwater
forever.
So, and that's just like, she's like, my house should be paid off.
And I don't understand why it's not paid off yet.
Like, because they just keep tacking on every time they're, the last 40,000 she's paying off is probably all the fees they've tacked down over the last 10 to 15, 20 years of redoing this adjustable rate mortgage.
And she didn't see it because they just ruined it in the mortgage.
Exactly.
She didn't know any better.
That's too bad.
The consumer, as much as you can research online,
you can research and get an answer to anything you want, whether it's the right answer or not.
And that's where it's so much more important than just shopping the lowest rate you can find, because I've also told you what, I closed 10 deals myself in the last 45 days on people who shopped to get the lowest rate, but the lender or the bank didn't know what they were doing.
So at that point, the lowest rate didn't matter.
Now it was a rush to get to the closing table on time.
So they stayed in contract.
And, you know, so sometimes the lowest rate shopping for the lowest rate isn't always the answer, but shopping for a loan officer who's competent and understands and know what they're doing and gives you
the education and not only the education, but here's what will happen if we do this loan program.
Here's what will happen if we do this for the longevity so the clients understand and can choose the best option for them.
It's so important.
This is such good information, and I've asked you before if you just hold seminars on this, but you have a podcast where people can tune into that.
Tell me more about something we can download anytime we want.
Yeah, you can download it anytime you want.
A
really popular podcast,
by the way.
I hope so.
It's doing pretty well.
We're excited.
We just wrapped up season one.
Where did
I see an ad?
It's some magazine here around town.
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
That's a really great picture of the whole thing.
That stuff everywhere.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But no, we do.
I know her.
I know her.
Thank you.
No, we just wrapped up season one.
I'm really excited about it.
Finished it with a really good podcast on house hacking a part two from part one earlier.
Summers are tough.
So we we decided we're going to
take a couple weeks off, but we're going to continue to sponsor it and promote it because there's so much good content there for people to go back to.
And listen, if you've not been a listener, gosh, we'd appreciate your support.
Go in and listen, download it, Spotify, YouTube, Apple podcast.
Help me out, Todd.
There's like 10 million other podcasts.
What do we type in?
Pretty much wherever you want to get it.
If
you search for it online, you'll find
all of that.
Yeah, the always on point podcast with Kristen Ambos.
Always on point.
Yep.
Yeah, that's great because, you know, even if you don't need it, it's good conversation for friends, for your family to
say, Hey,
look, if you'd listen to this, always on point thing, because like you said, that poor lady, I really feel, you know, the more you say that, I mean, she just got ripped off.
Totally ripped off from the bank that she knew and trust and listen.
I have.
a bank and a credit union that I personally work with and they're phenomenal.
I'm not here just try to rip apart banks and credit unions.
That's not the goal.
They serve a very good purpose.
It's more so just make sure that the loan officer you're working with is competent and understands because
the
banks and credit unions sell off a lot of their loans too.
That's
the
that's the part people don't understand is they just think if I go to my bank it'll sit there forever and some banks do but
the majority of loans are sold off.
Let me ask you this.
We're talking a little bit about the different fact.
It's like, okay, the interest rates, you got the availability, the supply lines.
There are so many, something's out of whack, keeping everything from being back to the way it was a few years ago or whatever you want to call it.
Can you think of any one
entity that would make a big difference like I was just like told you that thing I was reading about on a national thing you talked about how so many like assisted okay so people want to get out of their homes so everybody wants to go to an assisted living home so they their rates are really high yet so it's like people are so trapped kind of it's like well I want to do this but yeah I want to do this but yeah what what needs to give for things to get a little bit more stable normal user friendly I guess
I
should say
Uh, honest answer?
Yeah.
Greed.
People need to stop being greedy.
People need to stop trying to make an entire living on one, one loan, one deal, one apartment, one house.
It's bad.
Wow.
Mm-hmm.
And like we're talking, one of the things I said is that only one in 10 people in America can afford an assisted living home.
Yeah.
And they don't want to give up their house if it's paid for, and they don't want to buy something else because they have, you know, such a low interest rate versus what they'd be paying
now.
Right.
Nobody wants to hear it up.
They want to do it.
It's sad in our industry.
It's really prevalent right now.
People want to make more money doing less work.
Tell me whether that economic ever made sense.
Radio.
Actually, it's just the opposite.
We work harder for less.
That's what it is.
It's true.
It's politics.
It's true.
They want to they want to do less work and make more money and that math number maths.
Wow.
And that's coming from a girl that started working at Pickle Factory.
You got it.
So I mean, you know what you're talking about.
Garbage trucks and pickle factories and washing cars.
Hey, that's a different podcast.
Laborer
loves.
I
like
that idea.
Garbage trucks and pickle
factories.
Absolutely.
That's your title.
Wow,
I like it.
Yeah, it's sad to say, but I see it really beaming right now.
And it's tough to see.
OK,
interesting.
Yeah.
But honest.
It is.
Very.
And if people can't get out of their homes to.
because they can't afford senior living, then it's a different subject, but that home health care's got to, we got to pick up the pace a little bit on that.
Yeah, there's, there's, yeah.
Because
I want to stay in my home.
I get that all set already.
I'm bringing in some 28-year-old to kind of take care of me when I'm...
Hey, Bill Belichick, relax.
I was like, dang.
Got
that on
tape.
She's heard it before.
She's heard it before.
We're not going there.
Yeah.
No, but it's very real.
You know, I'm the first one to say, like, we got lucky.
My husband is a veteran.
We had the opportunity to utilize the VA.
when rates are really low, our interest rate is two and a quarter percent.
Wow.
Why am I running from that right now?
Never know.
And that is also another, I don't want to say problem.
It's a good problem for the people who have the low rates to have, right?
But it's an overall bad problem for the housing facility and the housing market because those people are not going to be moving.
anytime soon.
And you
can't blame anyone.
And you can't blame
them.
They took advantage of a really good situation.
But where I strongly believe in my gut right now is that we can get interest rates down even just a point.
And we really get some development, you know, some contractors who have tax incentives or whatever it is to bring the cost of actually developing the land down and building them, they can pass that off to a less expensive
option for housing and pass it off to the consumer to save.
So those two things combined.
And I did not pass my physics college class.
Are she economics, simple physics, economics?
I
didn't get through the syllabus.
When he handed out the syllabus, I walked out.
It's
a joke, it's not, well,
it's not good.
We got a thing here
though.
No, we got a thing here.
We refinanced our home with Kristen and just closed last week.
She is awesome.
She answered my thousands of questions no matter what they were.
Customer for life,
Tammy.
Oh, thank you so much, Tammy.
Absolute pleasure working with her lots of questions, but I expect that because the people that don't ask any questions Then I wonder if they really know what's going I would
think you would want that
I want that I want it's actually a breath of fresh air when people are like Can we get on the phone and talk about this?
Can we ask questions?
So no, that's that's what we're here to do my team and I are willing and able and it's you know We try to do everything with complete transparency because it's your loan not ours.
It's your money not ours and we don't take that we
We we don't take that lightly
and you seem to type that wouldn't give somebody just a Static line from whatever whatever you cut right through the chase with like no BS filter.
I try to yeah, it's good and bad.
Yeah, it's it's burned me a couple times
I think it's awesome,
but it's it's it's done more good than it has bad so I'm gonna keep Keep doing
good for you.
Yeah, but I think in terms of development product the right product for the right
People yeah, you drive around you leave this city or the county and not even the county But there's so much land that we have
in
Wisconsin actually we have more land everywhere you drive Kevin just says go to Montana.
Well, that is one boring drive.
I was boring.
Yeah, there's so much land.
Why aren't we just?
taking you know a thousand acres of land and building ranch homes
I
Just think that would be a great.
I would invest in that company.
I think I
Gosh, I would
invest with you.
Well, you got more money than I do.
Right?
Well, no, I would say that.
But no, I think it goes back to the cost of just developing that land.
Bringing water, bringing electricity, bringing everything to it is just such an excessive cost still.
The government can help a
little bit.
I agree 100%.
I believe that's where the answer is right now.
What they did with that ARPA money, I mean, come on.
Yep.
Christian Ambrose Pointe Mortgage
Corporation
will be back with
more right after this.
Dispointing time.
I think you'd come up with songs that every I threw out every break with that you could play a new vibrator yada yada What's it called again?
I'm sorry
What is not a vibrator?
No, I know that That
sounds totally different.
I'm not even saying that.
What
is it though?
It's a vibra vibra vibra vibra slap vibra slap because you slap it vibra slap correct, okay?
It's an interesting little instrument.
I've heard that before.
Never.
But you've heard it
before.
I've heard the sound, but I didn't know that that's what it was till I saw you playing it.
Right.
Yeah.
I
mean,
it's
got
a cool sound to it.
Absolutely.
Wow.
Todd played that in high school.
You played that?
Yes.
He was in percussion, so he played
a lot.
Okay, fair enough.
Yeah.
That wasn't his only
instrument.
Here's why.
Because it was a lot lighter
than carrying a tuba around.
Fair enough.
And that's literally what they told you to play, right?
What's that?
A tuba?
No, not me.
That was
somebody else.
Oh, we had somebody in here.
The guy suggested a tuba.
I'm not looking that around.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But that vibroslap.
I mean, that percussion, that yes, you have to a number of things, but
that is a
pretty popular.
And then did you get to the xylophone?
Did you?
I had to do that a little bit.
That's how that
those are cool when they're
playing.
You hold it.
If you got to hold the things right,
right?
When it's played,
right?
When it's played,
right?
It's not easy.
I
can't
imagine.
I enjoyed the chimes.
Yeah.
Oh, chimes.
That's right.
Because you had
a hammer and you'd bang on
it at
the
top.
Yeah.
And you're the only one playing the chimes, too, which is cool.
Absolutely.
Like, you're just getting out of this teenage aggression
on the chimes, right?
Well, no, that's your thing, though.
It's like, oh, my God, that was that guy.
It's not like
you know, I'd like to be a Jamaican.
And what?
That's just the oddest thing anybody's
ever seen on the
show.
Stay on the topic here, okay?
No, because when you got those bands on the beach in Jamaica, and you also got the one guy
playing the steel drums.
He's like,
is that what it is?
Steel drums
are
awesome.
They are
the most popular guys in the band.
Yeah.
Well, it's just so fun to listen to.
I mean, how do you not have a smile on your face?
Exactly.
The bongos are, yeah.
We're on a beach listening to music.
What are the big bongos
called?
Maybe it needs more
beaches.
the tall
conga.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That is a cool instrument too.
Yeah.
And those are, you're right.
If you, that's the guy, that's the person you'd look at.
That's the
person you look at.
That's the star of the show.
Yeah.
But the steel drums are, they had a steel drum concert down here one time.
I'd have the
dreads.
Yeah.
Oh boy.
I think they'd be looking at you for different reasons.
But Johnny, I think you should take a look at that.
All right.
Just saying.
What's that white dude
doing?
Oh my God.
Anyway.
Yeah.
Christian and boss, how you doing?
How busy are things?
I mean you have your finger on the pulse of a housing industry more than anybody else does
Where are we at right now, the middle of May, 2025?
Applications are up.
I think I did just around 50 pre-approvals last month myself.
Wow.
And yeah, so it was good.
It was busy.
There's people that want to buy out there.
Yeah.
There's people that want to buy out there.
One of the exciting factors as a seller, not always the best, but as a lender who works with buyers, I'm very excited for them is the home inspections are really starting to show up again, which is good for them so that they at least know
what they're buying, whether or not they can come to terms on fixing things is another story, but at least they can, they can, you know, there's a contingency where they can have.
Yes, exactly, exactly.
So I'm really liking that for my clients, it's coming back around.
And really just working with a team of professionals that knows how to strategize to get your offer accepted is huge right now.
There's a lot of
A lot of people out there who just, you know, when you're working with a lender and I'll say the same thing for, for realtors alike, the value ad is making sure they know how to strategize for you to get there.
It's so much different now.
A couple of years ago, it was just all about throwing a sign in the yard and writing, you know, and I, I know I don't want to take away from the hard work that real estate agents do, but it's like anything else.
There's, you know, 20% in our industry that are doing 80% of the work and are doing it correctly.
So if you want some of the best, definitely do your due diligence and research it and interview a few and just make sure you have a team aligned to help you.
It's really big right now.
Yeah, I'll go back to the building.
I think, I don't, snowbirds.
Two houses, place in Florida.
I think that's gonna die off.
I just think, first of all, the winters here are like not bad, right?
How many times do you use your snowblower this year?
Twice, twice.
You can go on a cruise or go to take a vacation when it's not good.
I don't really, we talked about that.
I don't think we're gonna do that.
Cause I don't really, I don't like it's, it's another house.
You might not like your neighbors and I don't know, I'm just, that's too risky.
So I just think additions are really making your house a home for the next changes, right?
I mean, where people get older, you got different things, bedroom on first floor and all that.
I don't know, I think we need to build more homes here because I think Wisconsin, Madison, I mean, that's no secret.
They said because of the weather, because of things, that it's really gonna be a growth area.
And that's a whole county.
And here, I think in Brown County too, I just think with all this land we have, I think that would be good.
I think it'd be good for the whole industry, but I don't know
anything about it.
I completely agree with you.
I completely agree with you.
Make
an investment group.
Yeah, and I think that real estate's still a really great and safe investment.
It is.
But I think that your people who have the extra Airbnb's and things like that are kind of getting
to the spot where now they got to work for it.
And it's not the work that they wanted to do or the second house that they wanted to put the work into.
And they're just not maybe making enough money on it anymore.
So do think some of that will come back around to the market.
Yeah.
I want to
develop a like Jim's talking about, but I wanted all recyclable things.
I want to build it all of like used tires because there's
billions of used tires
outside.
And you fill them
with sand and
it's it's it's they don't gym.
And they
don't
smell.
And they're so well insulated, it's mind-boggling.
So I want to do a subdivision on houses I'm going
to build.
I'm built on
tires.
All tires.
All right.
Yeah.
I got to stack them in the back of my garage.
Let me have them.
Let me have them.
Let me have them.
You're going in business together.
You're going in
business
together, right?
Yeah.
The investment that my house made in Tay
is pretty
incredible.
Jim, are you in?
No.
Do you want to be a silent partner?
Do you want to be just an investor?
John, I got to look at that.
You
don't have to do manual labor.
I just
think
a suburb that's really cool, I think, would work.
I'm going to handle most of the manual labor.
I'd show up with your golden shovel.
Yes.
I'll get the photo
up.
I will say this really quickly.
Where other spots in the country have, you know, Washington, D.C.
and Coastal areas have double and tripled their value.
Yeah.
Our 220 is now 260.
Their 220 is now like 800.
So while we've gone up, we're still one of the safest bets and most competitive in the country.
How can people get a hold of you, Kristen Ambos?
920-606-1156.
Tell us where you find
your podcast.
At Always On Point Podcast, Kristen Ambos.
It's fantastic.
It's really, really good.
Thank you so much, guys.
I always appreciate it.
I always
love having you in here.
Have a great day, guys.
You too.
When we come back, Darrell Burnett talking about a great event coming up.
Coming to Northeast Wisconsin live from the Civic Media Studios, this is Mino and the Mayor.
And
here are your hosts, John Mino and Jim Schmidt.
Hey, thank you very much.
Welcome back to Mino and the Mayor here.
Hour number three and a beautiful Monday morning.
52 in Green Bay, 55 in Alton, 52 in Oshkosh.
forecast today, sunny high in the upper seventies.
Actually, somebody sent me a picture.
Lisa Hale, our amazing news person in, 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're going.
So I went to,
I said, I went to fishnet, fish stockings.
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.
I heard that was very well attended and just
it's so unique.
It
was.
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 D.C.
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 dollars.
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 want to know what's 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'd 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.
Without 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 gonna 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.
I'm here 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, uh, you know, just an incredible, credible car.
And, uh, and, you know, they, they only made a handful, only 466 of these over, you know, a five year stretch.
I
remember Mario Andretti talking one time that, uh, 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 to 15.
This was the first Lamborghini ever to go over 200 miles an hour.
Yeah.
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?
This Saturday.
What's the parade?
Okay, is the parade, is it, they're gonna
come direct?
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.
Really?
Yes, they're coming in as a group.
So if you're hanging around downtown.
And they're starting a Manitowoc?
Yeah, 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 1230 on Saturday, you're going to 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.
Wow.
You got to west appear
at
45
miles
an
hour.
That's right.
Where were you?
I just went
to
Madison back.
Wow.
That's pretty cool.
Wow.
That's pretty neat 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 owner is out of Mexico, but he entrusts this car to Motion Products and 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 advice.
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, 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 I, there's just a whole lot of things I like about it.
Hey, um,
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.
Yeah.
That's really how I would describe
it.
Or a Mickey Mantle 1952 card next to a
Willie Mays 54 card.
Yeah.
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 a naked gun knocking over stuff.
I just see that.
Derek for hit us with this automobile gallery.
Amazing event coming up this weekend.
Stay with
us.
Welcome back.
My name is Mary here and a good looking Monday morning.
Brewers at the Cleveland Guardians 435 on WISS kind of an up and down season for them so far.
Daryl Burnett is with us with the automobile gallery and event center here in downtown Green Bay.
Festa, Italiana coming up on Saturday and again a thing here.
We're gonna 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, winched down in a, but they are all winched 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 in Washington or Crooks and Adams on Saturday, starting at about
1230 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 event 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 dollars 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 today?
Yeah, I just
I would never be associated with an event that was stuffy 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.
You know, in a way, but what you 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.
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.
Because 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.
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 Gaitano, 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,
Darrell.
This Saturday is Festo Italiana 2025 from 2 to 6 p.m.
at the automobile gallery 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 to
show
these people that I 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.
Okay.
Okay.
I hate to say this because I'm not sure who this will be.
Anyway, so 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.
Okay, we were talking
about 1989
when that horrible tragedy happened
with Hugo 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
sleep lines?
Okay, 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 going to be interesting to see if their 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 diehard GTO guy and they kind of
blew it down
the stretch he did.
They
just did.
That's a good example.
You know, and 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 going to be here forever.
Awesome.
Love it, Dale.
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 with that?
That'd 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 to our durable man here automobile gallery.
Excuse me, an 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, 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 I just love what they're doing for the community.
This is Red Lewis.
Todd, I don't know if you knew him.
These are going to start the whole PDQ thing.
oh okay that's what he did yeah he always would tell kids and which the only thing i know he was a great guy he never graduated did he finish high school i've
never that was his
thing it's like or he never went to college i know that and it's like well don't tell the kids i mean he's one of the lucky ones he didn't go to college and you know made millions but he was very creative and
Very, very generous.
It's 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, because 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.
They're
right.
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.
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 carved, in fact, something of a model T from 1916.
And insurance company bought that, but that must have been a car or 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 of 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 pack 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,
you
say approve.
We will approve these for you.
Let's be honest, we're the professionals when it comes to, you know, 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
Viber 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 does be 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.
It needs another
boom, boom,
boom.
Right.
Boom, boom,
boom.
Yeah,
yeah.
Boom, boom, boom.
Yeah.
Sparky is a
good effort.
Everybody
say everybody.
How about Sparky?
Show some appreciation.
All right.
No, come on.
That is
a good
job, Sparky.
You can stand.
You bet.
No, ghost it out, Sparky.
You're not going to win.
Thank you for.
You're
not going to
win.
Go ahead.
Next one.
Next?
A great start.
I like
that.
It really is Sparky.
Yeah.
So
you got to figure he's doing that.
Well, he's rewiring a house.
Exactly.
He is.
He's the electrician.
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 the talk of vibraslaps and linens, it's a little clunkier than saying the talk of linens and vibraslaps.
Yeah.
The cadence, the actual
linens and vibraslaps.
Slaps.
And you have to get a word that rhymes with slaps Straps straps works caps a caps could work
in the
wraps Better
than we're better 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.
So we got a message vibraphones were brought up on the program.
You're right about that.
We did talk about vibraphones.
Okay.
The talk of linens and vibraphones.
Wait, nice.
No, no, you switch it around.
I know.
Because we just said vibraphones were mentioned on the show, so maybe he wanted vibraphones.
But they really
rocked
our old bones.
No, he's right about the cadence with the... Vibraslaps.
Vibraslaps.
Yeah, it just thinks better than any hip-hop raps.
This is why
I got
my mind on the mirror.
Two
old men from Nantucket.
Sorry.
Yeah.
All right.
Whatever.
All right.
So anyway, we'll work on it.
Yes.
Um, 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?
Right.
Was that rainy Friday morning afternoon-ish of the draft.
Do you think because people came down for that other event?
Oh, that Booyah Fest was packed.
The Booyah Fest?
Yeah, it was packed.
Maybe 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 Lambo.
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.
guests 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, 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.
Drunk in there or not, you know, not crazy rowdy all
that
aspect of it great TV Perfect couldn't ask for anything better
14 million viewers.
Yeah, I think that was a record that was close to a record.
So that's
cool
Yes,
but anyway, we're
talking you can read this on their time.
Yeah small
I'm making it bigger for you.
Okay.
Thank you.
These were made by come by going online to chat GPT, okay?
Tammy sent these
in.
All right, Tammy,
here we go.
Each morning, Mino and the mayor are live on the air with stories and news full of flair.
They joke in the chat and give folks a pat, bringing joy to our community with care.
Okay, okay.
That AI is unbelievable.
Here's another one she got.
Each morning, they brighten the air with Mino and the mayor.
They are quite the pair.
They laugh and they chat with stories to bat, bringing joy to our community with care.
All right, all right.
Not bad.
Not bad.
Not bad.
Not bad.
Not bad.
Not bad.
So were these actually from Tammy or?
No,
she went online
and it came up with that.
OK, well, Tammy, disappointing you then too.
I'm just, we thought you had so much creativity being a former Chicago
honey bear.
She did not admit the AI.
Okay, Sparky says, hey guys, I'm still at home recovering from heart surgery, okay?
I'm doing cardio rehab, but unfortunately, not much work on my limerick skills lately.
Thanks a hell of a lot, you beasters.
All right, Sparky, all right.
Sorry.
Maybe
you shouldn't get that wound up, Sparky.
That's a good
point.
You ever think about that?
That's a good point.
Think about it, Sparky.
Think about it.
Yes.
All right.
So who's somebody going to win these two tickets?
Well, we don't really
want.
We don't have a winner
yet for today.
I don't
think we do.
Do you, Todd?
I don't think so.
I mean, folks, help us out here.
So let me just be clear.
The tickets we already gave away for the automobile gallery, right?
Those are gone.
Oh, you did give those away.
That went to Dave.
OK.
And then, but we don't have a winner on the limericks.
$25.
Got it.
Got it.
Got it.
Got it.
We.
Good you not have a winner.
We're gonna carry this over to tomorrow.
What do you want to do?
I'm gonna spend the gift certificate We should get 1250 well, that's real.
I know
I got fired for doing that once at our old station time They get gifts to kissing and it kept getting turned in when the place they got him from yeah It was like the same guy in his family showing up her time as the winners.
Oh Yeah
And you guys if people didn't pick it up.
Did you did they give it to the hosts?
No
You
don't get nothing.
Nothing.
Never
did
that
ever.
You never look at me.
You never look at me.
And welcome back.
Mine on the mirror.
Boy, kicking out some more here.
AI generator.
This is AI, yes.
Well, AI is going to the car show.
The first two are AI.
The third one is not.
That's from a listener.
Each morning, they are lively and bright, with banter that feels just right.
From Green Bay's own lore to sports and so much more, they start off your day
with delight.
All right.
Not bad.
I didn't think the second one I came up with was very good.
Well, it's all lively and
bright over and over.
Yeah, I like
that
one.
But I will just say this Nancy sent in the third one.
Now she won last week, so she's not eligible to win this.
But this one's pretty darn good.
There was a producer named Todd who agreed to a job most odd, keeping two guys in line while listening to them constantly whine.
Although, together, they make a great squad.
Nancy?
It's not bad, Nancy.
I'll tell you that right
now.
You
added a
word, which
makes sense.
I'm just helping
out here.
No, you did.
That was good.
But I threw off the cadence by adding the word.
Keeping two guys in line while listening to them
line.
All together, they make a great squad.
All right.
All right.
Odd and squad.
OK.
All
right.
All right.
Nancy, that's still very good.
Still
very good.
That's very
good.
But we can't give her the prize package, right?
Correct.
Yeah.
Nancy, I'm sorry about that.
What
is your your rule on that one a week one price
it's more than that.
There's a corporate rule.
That's right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
I don't know.
I think this could win a
little
tweaking.
Yeah, I know.
Take
that one
home.
Okay, we'll have time for one more who could possibly win our minor the mayor limerick
contest.
We can go to AI too, you know.
Can we just AI the show?
Yeah,
okay.
It's amazing that, I don't know, that AI, we even, I told you this, we talked about it once before, but even in teaching you, it's so convenient and it's so easy and it's so spot on.
You put in the words, emotion you want, you put in the subject matter and it's like seconds.
It's like, wow, that's really good.
Well, that's what I was reading a thing.
a professor or a counselor, high school counselor, where it's kind of a tougher job because people are like, well, why do we even need a college education?
Everything's going to be AI.
I don't need to learn so-and-so.
It's all going to be AI.
And it's like, can you argue with that?
Right.
Well, I'm
not sure.
But can they
argue that they can't argue what AI put out?
That's the problem is, sure, they can write the paper, but they can't defend it because they didn't write
it.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah.
What I like to do at school is
get to know students a little bit, you know, kind of what your favorite thing to do, what you do when you're not studying, where you work, you know, and then when they hand in those AI papers, it's like, you can tell.
Oh yeah, you can tell.
Yeah.
And there's some super smart kids that maybe I couldn't tell, but there's a lot of them like, man, you didn't write this.
Yeah.
Things
like that.
Yeah.
And the school is really, they crack down on that.
They don't like this.
The AI, I mean, they don't.
Oh, I believe that.
They put the smack down on you pretty good, so.
Yeah.
But it is a great, great tool.
It just is.
It's very convenient and especially for like letter writing.
Some people struggle with letters and that it's a perfect letter when it's
done.
Do they still teach it?
Maybe I'm like 20 years late at even asking this question.
Do they even teach writing?
Cursive?
Cursive?
Anymore?
Todd?
No, I don't believe
so.
Asking Todd, the one guy doesn't have kids or friends.
Todd, you're an expert on this too.
Our
kids are.
I don't know, that's.
Somebody
like in second grade, do they teach penmanship?
I don't think they do.
I don't know.
No, I don't think so.
We got, we got another limerick.
Yeah, that
could be.
But you know what, if you write in cursive, that could like be code.
You know if you're if if you're oh somebody else doesn't know how to read it Yeah, that's true.
It's like that's your
that actually that's a good point that is a good point like the new mafia foreign language
So this this one's from Jason this morning you were guys ready for yeah, yeah minor one the mayor I have a theory one is anxious the other is cheery how they get along I do not know it's all so eerie
I think there's a little something missing there.
That's not bad though.
Tweak
it.
Tweak it.
Tweak it and
reapply.
Tweak it and reapply.
Correct in return.
We're going to give you that opportunity.
We're going to give you that
chance.
Correct in return.
We're going to give you that chance.
Yeah, but this is good.
All right.
That was close.
That was close.
That was a good one.
All right.
But do they teach penmanship?
I don't believe so.
I don't know.
Because man, when I was a kid, that was.
Ah, serious!
I know, and
that
was- I didn't- The Palmer method, remember that?
Oh my god, I was not good at that one.
Oh, I was either, I was terrible.
I mean, I used to have to-
People would laugh at you?
I mean, I used to practice my autograph was like in the third grade.
Oh yeah,
that's cool.
And I've never, I've still not been able to do it good.
I still have the worst- You don't tell me Roma.
When I have to sign something, I need to come up like a Jordan Love thing where it's just the J in the heart.
You know what I mean?
I need to come up with something like that.
Yeah, I have my signature down, but
yeah.
Yeah.
I'm always embarrassed when I'm doing book signings.
Yeah,
you're right.
Do you have that same thing?
No, I don't know.
I always try to get something individual for each person.
Oh, doesn't it take a long time?
A little bit.
You know what the bad part is that a book signing when you're doing it and you're talking to a person and you misspell a word, you have to pretty much throw the book away.
Yeah.
Yeah, because you can't, you're not going to cross out and, you know, oh, it's Mary with an I, not a why I should have told you type thing.
It's like, Kate.
Oh,
I wouldn't do
that.
They get what they
get.
No, no, no,
no.
What
I do, honestly, when that happens, I take a razor blade and I cut off that page, like the page that would be autographed.
So it's not part of the book.
And then I don't know, donate those to like, if somebody needs one for, you know, a school library or something where it's just that part's missing.
Yes.
To schools, I would just dice right there and get their name.
Nice meeting you, your friend.
That
would go really quick, but put a personalize them and really get.
Now take that take
a great time autograph.
I've ever seen in my entire lifetime Probably will always be Bart Starr He had the most he was perfect and you talk about the old Palmer method of yeah,
everything now
perfect every autograph Bart Starr signed was Perfection
need read his name
and that just said something about him.
Yeah,
right?
Yes, and
they talk
about that that you know write your name so people can read it because some of them
You know, they don't.
I know.
I know.
And
they're good people, but
I used to get calls all the time from saying, my, you know, could I bring in a Packer football?
And could you figure out the names?
Right?
Like the only time you could figure it out sometimes is if you knew that one guy's sound because trying to figure out what he said, you know, right?
But if you know, that's just his mark.
So to speak.
Yes.
Yeah,
we'll talk about a guy after the break.
All
right.
We're done talking
tomorrow.
All
right.
Thanks for being here, everybody.
Back in our morning.
See ya.
