Maino and the Mayor · Fri May 16, 2025
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.
Can we start overtime?
Yeah, I guess.
Should I start the whole thing again?
No.
Do you want me to?
I will.
OK.
Good morning.
He's sticking to time schedule here.
Hello.
Hello.
What are you got a jacket on
Jim?
I know that's why.
He just said it's hot in here.
Yeah.
But I took what he said.
He's that old guy
in the home.
No.
Why
won't they turn down the damn heat?
It's a summer for the greater.
Well, Jim, you got a jacket on.
Well, because I was chilled.
I know.
But just when you read what today is, let's see why I wore a jacket.
Bike to work today.
Bike to work.
Did
you did
you wear biking type clothes
or not?
No, I just said I wore that
jacket cuz I thought it was cold not cool This morning though.
Yeah, well
breezy out there.
Yeah gonna be 80 today.
So I
how was Oshkosh last night during the
When
that storm rolled through, there was a great wind at first.
But within like two minutes, it was done.
It was just a heavy rain and man tornadoes down in Mayville and other parts of the state out west and Juno down by Juno.
I know Mayville.
Where
is Mayville?
So south and west of Fond du Lac.
Okay.
Okay.
Yep.
Yeah.
By the hurricane marsh area.
That's right.
That's an area that seems to get hit with stuff.
Doesn't it?
It
does.
It
does.
It just does.
I don't know what it is.
Pretty desolate though, though, right?
I mean, there's nothing out there.
It's a real
big hunting area.
Duck hunting and everything like
that.
Huge jury for that stuff.
Hartford's down there.
Yeah.
Good morning.
It is Friday.
Vicki says, yay.
TJF, we made it.
Thank you, Vicki.
How are you?
Green Bay was OK last night.
Oh, we didn't.
Yeah, it was.
No, I actually took some pictures.
It looked really nice over the river afterwards.
I think once it hit this area, it had fizzled out a little
bit.
Yeah, it was just rain.
So
I was looking at going to the UP.
Yeah.
The high for a Saturday or Sunday is going to be 36 in windy and rain.
Wow.
As much as I brag about the UP, man, you got to be, and now you guys, whenever I say you got to have something else going on up there, you got to like embrace the weather.
You can't like just hunker down and give in.
I mean, it's almost June.
It's going to be 36 degrees.
Isn't that something, Mom?
With a wind chill.
But it's even here, though.
We're going from 80 to 60, I think.
Yeah.
This is weird,
too, here.
Terry says, happy fierce wind Friday.
Storms today.
Wind guests over 40 miles per hour again.
Terry, you have forecast sunny and breezy.
Storm is possible later.
High of 80 degrees on bike to work day, which you did.
I
did, man.
Which you did.
I'm all in and I talked to my neighbor last night because I knew we were gonna talking about it.
Yeah, that was my show prep John.
I read this and I
took a
prep.
So I had to actually pump up the air in my tires because I haven't used my bike yet.
But anyway, I talked to him.
You got a hand held bike?
Yeah.
Bringing in one day.
I got to pump up my tires.
Yeah.
Those things are unbelievable.
Yeah.
How good they are.
I mean, I remember when we were kids, there was junk.
and they'd pop off all the time.
No, the easy the cap, you lock it down and tells you exactly where you're at.
And so whatever it is, 60, I forgot what has to be in there.
But anyway, I did that last night.
They talked to him.
I remember I was working at my brother's gas station and I some kid brought in and they're nice.
I'd never seen a 10 speed before.
You
know, we had the old Schwinn's.
Yeah.
I'm just
sorry.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Burst so fast, so quick, it was unbelievable.
Yeah, that's.
Too much coming out too fast.
This thing here, you can just kind of gauge it.
And by the way, I talked to him and he goes, mine, I'm taking his bike tomorrow.
I said, actually he lives right in the building.
He was, that's right.
He said, he bought a bike from me.
You bought a bike from collective.
Absolutely.
I said, you know what?
He's been complaining like every day for the last year about the seat.
And he said, tell him to come down.
We have like cabinets full of them.
Oh, really?
And this is the good thing about going to bike collective versus, you know,
I
like
Pete's and I like George's place.
Broke his book, but he said, we'll just put it on and you go right up and down State Street.
And if you like it, keep it.
If you don't, we'll take it off and try another one.
Where's other places?
Once you kind of do that, you can own it.
So
he said.
You know, I I'll try out every seat they got
and they
could use that for advertising.
Well,
I think I think you set your ego aside You're gonna have those really wide big basket things, but I just
he
has to
bring up the
basket He has everything there and they'll put it on and everything for you adjust it Phenomenal only open on Mondays and Wednesdays because they just can't get enough volunteers You know, that's a charity.
That's a nonprofit.
Okay, and they bring in bikes.
They fix them and then they Oh,
by the way, I was at a place yesterday
And they had a sign on the door and I thought maybe a nice little side hustle parts delivery guy at AutoZone.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fun, right?
That would be so much fun.
Just listen to the radio driver.
It's not that heavy.
Yeah, you're not hauling out axles.
Right.
That's
here's your distributor cap.
Right.
Why are
the smart plugs?
Right.
Here they
are.
Hi, Bob.
How are you today?
You know, that's yeah.
Yeah, probably get tips too.
They probably like seeing you if you show up saving their car.
I don't know that that that's interesting.
That's a side hustle.
So I'm thinking about that
better than I mean, maybe throw it up in your car.
You know
what I mean?
Like
offer Uber.
Yeah.
That's interesting.
I didn't know they had that.
Yeah.
We got to talk to Mike.
Mike, are you out there driving around?
Do those things happen?
What's like what happens if you pick somebody up and this was in a movie I was watching, but you pick somebody up and like the guy.
Like just shoved this girl in, they'd gotten her really drunk and whatever, and the guy actually ended up taking her to the hospital.
You know, what are you, how
does that?
Responsibilities, and you only get sued, right?
Right.
So,
yeah.
Or if somebody gets in, that's like just hammered and sick, and what do you,
you
just dump them out?
I mean.
I
would be a
day driver, but that can happen during the day too.
I just will risk you at night.
Yeah, I don't know.
That's a lot of responsibility.
That's what I mean a lot.
Well, we're gonna hear something these two guys are talking about.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Did you get it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you have to call the cops?
Right.
Well, but that DoorDash is cool.
That's just food.
You know,
yeah, I'm still shocked, though.
In fact, it happened right here right outside our studio.
I'll leave it in
the food.
Yeah.
McDonald's bag and whole thing sitting right in the sidewalk here next to the
who orders DoorDash McDonald's.
That probably cost him more in the delivery.
Okay.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Hey,
I find
some people here.
Um, yeah.
So, yeah.
No, that delivery part, our friend of mine, he's got a great gig.
Um, same age we are.
And like three days and he delivers for, uh, I think Bell and Bellin are saying V is one of the two.
Um, the X-rays, when I have to go to a different place.
Oh, I could do that.
And he said it's so, people are so nice and it's super clean.
Yeah.
And he, he said it's great.
So I could do that.
He loves doing that.
So he
delivers, you know, for one of the hospitals and this doctor to that doctor, once in a while, they get a little stressed, like, where were you?
But he said, by and large, it's a great side hustle.
You had the only thing I like driving.
So I would do that.
I told you, I was a flower delivery
guy.
Yep.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think I lost money on that.
And I'm not even joking about this because I got paid $2 an hour.
Okay, I had my 1967 396 Chevy Impala with a Holley carburetor that got about eight miles to a gallon And I think what I would drive around I would burn up more gas than that $2 for that hour.
No not even kidding.
No, I remember how
little gas mileage we used to
get But it's also what 36 cents a gallon.
Um, I don't know that was right during the gas embargo
I
mean this is too old guys sitting in the home.
I know
But literally in like 1974 at lunchtime, I would have to go.
I'd have to give my dad a ride to work.
Exactly.
And then at lunch, go and
sit during the entire lunch hour
trying
to get to a gas pump.
And probably half the time didn't get there for the time lunch was over.
It was, it was crazy.
It was when you look back on it, it's
like, people can say they can complain about the price, but you know what?
Is there the supply?
Yeah.
It was the last time we went out of gas.
That just didn't happen.
It was unbelievable.
But, um, but I'll tell you what,
that led to some of the worst cars ever made.
Oh, because of the, yeah, just wanted to get a mile at all.
I care about was mileage.
Yeah.
And they didn't care about safety or the middle.
Some of the worst
cars ever made.
Came from that.
I got texts here.
Jim and John would have passed signs for Mayville when they overshot Oshkosh and Fondle Act that one morning.
Okay, thanks.
Oh, that is there.
Good point, Vicky.
Now we have a frame of reference.
All right.
Now we know.
Okay.
It is bike to work day.
Love a tree day.
Work from home day.
That we had that already.
We talked with that
through the day.
No.
What did you get?
Make it every day now, Todd?
Yes.
You're working from home.
Yeah.
He's lobbying just on the side too.
Yeah.
Mamosa
day.
Uh, that's
cool.
What?
Okay.
I know.
Yeah.
No, everybody drinks
those.
I know.
One time on my radio, the other little spanky radio show I used to do.
Yeah.
Or in the big one, I mentioned we did, I did a Mother's Day thing.
Oh, man.
You ever have a mimosa?
They're gonna, and I got so pummeled that it was a quote unquote from Katie.
Chick drink.
Guys don't drink mimosas.
Well.
It's
not the most manly drink.
No, I agree.
I wouldn't order one.
But I mean, if they come around and you have it for breakfast, right?
Okay, what's the difference between that?
If you go out to the Duck Creek pub, Duck Creek VFW, and you order Johnny juice?
Well, I mean, it's Kool-Aid, or excuse me, it's orange
juice and
vodka.
Right.
Yeah.
So what, why is that such a manly thing?
Who said it was manly at the beginning?
I mean, you know.
You're just assuming that.
Yep.
Look at me.
I'm Johnny.
I'm
a man.
I'm a man.
I
will admit, I assumed
that.
Okay, there you go.
See?
Yeah, we're learning.
All right.
All right.
So, Mamosa.
Hey, it's a good day, but we're gonna snort out of
time.
Mamosas, yes or no?
Chick drink, yes or no?
Do I lose my man card by drinking Mamosas?
Text us.
It's also Barbecue Day?
Oh my God.
Who invented the barbecue?
Thank you.
Oh, man.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Yeah,

Yeah, I just...
Barbecue down I just don't I'm a bachelor, right?
It's only so much you can eat you know what I mean?
So I'd like to do ribs.
I did chicken last night.
So yeah, I like barbecue I got it tell you the key.
Hey, I tell you let me I'll let you know something The barbecue sauce you got to shop that a little bit more.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, cuz everybody gets that what an open pit or whatever it's called They have some great barbecue sauces.
They may cost a couple bucks more, but still it makes such a difference.
Oh my god No question, and I
got
I'm with you on that one.
It's it's got this black label on it.
It's really, really.
I'm with you on that one.
Yeah.
But

Okay.
The courthouse.
Yeah.
Nice place.
I had this.
Okay.
Why are okay.
I am not a chicken wing guy.
I think it's too much for a pain.
It's a lot of work.
It's a lot of work for that tiny little piece of meat.
Yeah.
Okay.
I had chicken grilled chicken thighs.
Unbelievable.
They're so good.
I'm going to open a place.
Massive thighs.
Massive thighs is the name of my place.
And it's a play of words.

Self promotion.
Self promotion.
That's yeah.
Massive thighs.
Minos massive thighs.
Minos massive thighs.
They're so good.
Thighs are so good.
Chicken thighs are so good.
And nobody sells them.
In fact, they're taking that.
So I'm like, oh my god.
It was, I'll tell you what it was.
No, it doesn't, Jim.
They're taking it off the menu.
That was the I was the last person served to get that
Which is to dark meat when you order it and I don't know what that means And I don't know and I don't like legs.
Well, I don't like isn't one piece.
That's a thigh
Yeah, why don't maybe it's it's the most ununderappreciated food that there
is that is that it I buy just when you buy I just buy those right?
Yeah, like yeah, I like doing that.
That's a
Wow, I wonder why they're taking that off because those are that's meat.
Well, man I mean it
was I I don't very often take a take comb box But yeah, I had to it was and it was one of the okay.
It was I'll tell you what it is.
I'm gonna sound hoity-toity It was grilled thighs Black rice, which I'd never even heard of before
it's called brown rice.
No, it's
black rice
black.
It's delicious With asparagus nice vignette nice, but nice what?
Vignette
What does that
mean John?
I don't
know.
There's a
sauce.
It's like a nice sauce that was on it.
All right.
That does sound good.
It's unbelievable.
And they're taking out the menu.
Wow.
So I'm opening up my own place.
There's another recipe.
You just take the thighs and you just cook them in orange juice.
Oh.
Then you add all this paprika and garlic and, man, that's going to be great.
This
is my summer of grilling.
Yes, had a quick break after Todd and Jim questions John's manliness and I'm the snarky one I mean I didn't say anything about Johnny's basket on his bike
Hey, welcome
back, Michael
the Mayor here, and a good-looking Friday morning.
Enjoy it while you can.
Some Storms forecast for later today.
Hi, though, about 80 degrees.
This is 58 in Green Bay, 57 in Appleton, 55 in... Oh, she got shot right now.
As I mentioned, it is barbecue day, and we got some, uh, Nick, cheese curd, Nick says, hey, Jim, good barbecue doesn't need sauce.
It's a good point.
Well, if it's cooked into the... Yeah, with the thing.
No, no, no, no.
Are you
talking about dipping it or cooking it with, like, putting the sauce
on as it cooks?
I got a little brush.
Oh, you got to cook it first, right?
And then in the last, like, 10 minutes, then you take that little brush out and paint it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
OK.
So, but it wouldn't taste like... I would think you
would always do that.
Wouldn't you, for barbecue?
Yeah, I did.
I was thinking of, like, A1 or something.
He probably thought it was already, like, in the sauce when I cooked it.
No, this is just chicken.
that I cook on the grill and then I do the barbecue sauce later.
I mean, it's burgers too, by the way, you said that.
But don't, I mean, there's something called a dry rub that maybe you don't use sauce on,
right?
Oh, that's what I'm thinking.
That's what I'm thinking.
That's, put that, no, you just take the powder stuff and rub it on there and you cook that and that becomes the barbecue.
Oh.
All right.
Yeah.
No, I
got learn all this before I open my place.
Yeah
Sparky snarky of the day so far John that would be a great idea until somebody open a massive breasts restaurant next to that Sparky Sparky velvetyl research,

So yeah, add it up.
What that could be.
We got Lisa Hale coming up, Newisco weekend.
We've got Mark Houston coming up, Ellen Sports Medicine.
One of the things I want to talk to Mark about is, you know, in the hot weather like this, you know, obviously there was the Gatorade first and there's been a million other things.
But now the big thing are those little individual packets to put it in like a bottle of water.
Okay.
Because people are trying to, this is what I've read.
People are staying away from some of the Gatorade type of things because of everything else they have So they're having their own water but want to put in these little packets.
It's like the
electrodes.
Yeah
electrolytes.
That's what you want.
Yeah
All
right, and they
have it sized up for you just one packet into like an eight ounce bottle or 10
but ain't cheap Yeah, but it's I mean just one of those things but I want to talk to them about that because again that is I mean
It's hard to believe, but as another thing I was reading about it was a think to for parents with your kids sports these days.
It doesn't matter what age or whatever that dehydration can do damage.
I can cook you, you know, in a way that, um, got another text here, how long are the Packers going to screw around with Jair?
Obviously he doesn't want to be here.
Terry.
Yeah, it's yeah.
Okay.
So you don't get such kick out of with people with the keyboard type things.
So now there's a big controversy going on.
Okay.
Or not a controversy, but a big thing.
That the NFL got assurances that the Steelers were gonna sign Aaron Rodgers so that they could play that game.
Have you seen that too?
No.
This big thing going on.
Oh, there, you know the NFL was being done.
That Rodgers is definitely signing with the Steelers then.
So did he not?
He hasn't yet.
Because we're going to that game.
Well, let's see what happens,
right?
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
That's all that's NFL drama.
They love the same thing.
Oh, without question.
So there's been a couple of there's been a couple of things in the last couple of years that have just kind of played out and you're like,
I know.
Well, the other one is NBA where the Dallas Mavericks had one percent chance to get the number one overall draft.
I saw that.
Yeah.
You remember what the one thing was when Patrick Ewing to the Knicks, they said they put all the envelopes or the one they wanted the commissioner to grab, they put it in a freezer.
So when he
was reaching in, he grabbed the
cold envelope.
That's cool.
How could I use this?
That went in the lottery to make the balls come up.
They just used spray on it like hairspray.
I didn't know that.
Really?
Yeah, it made the weight different.
Oh, I like this.
Yeah, it was awesome.

Lisa Hale in the house.
Good morning, gentlemen
intro music.
I know She's a rock.
She's happy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I
sense that don't even we don't even need we don't even need to Oh, by the way, my condolences Lisa.
Oh, you heard about sparkle, but
sought on your Facebook
Yeah, yeah, my she you know,
no, I don't I'm not on Facebook.
Okay, my oldest tarantula sparkle butt is
sparkle butt.
Yeah, that's what I named him.
Suicide.
Ironically, that was my name in high school.
Was it?
Was it?
You know, that's very interesting.
John and I just see how that would work.
Sparklebuck and Everfesson's thighs.
Absolutely.
So what
happened?
How does it translate to die?
Old
age?
He was he was a five-year-old T. Vagans, which is a Mexican red-rumped tarantula and for a male five years is about their lifespan So he was an old tarantula for for his his species and he just about a year ago He had his final malt.
That's what we discovered.
He was a male and I was like You know and did you hear what he just said
Lisa?
He
just know what it
is.
I know just said he had his just had my his final mold
So
I believe you probably did have your final malt job.
So, you know, now you need
to
They said they're exoskeletons
Yeah, I don't really care that much.
I'm gonna like the conversation going today.
Do they go
into?
Like seizures or how do you know they're gonna die like what do they just?
Eventually, they will stop eating.
They'll stop feeding.
They'll stop, you know, doing the things.
And for males, sometimes they'll build their final sperm web because they're at their time when they're done and they're
leaving.
Just
find out this morning that T'mino had his last malt and it is sperm web.
Just sperm web.
Look at the weather out
there, storms are moving in.
They're
moving in.
You can tell when a tarantula is at the end of his life because he stops feeding and he stops doing the stuff that normal tarantulas do and he did.
He hasn't molted in a year.
He stopped feeding and he went into what is called a death curl.
Um, this week and he passed.
Wow.
That, that's why I was asking.
I just did that too.
Okay.
I'm two weeks away.
Wow.
Okay.
So what do you do with them then, Lisa?
Do you, cause you could probably throw him in the freezer and keep them the way he is forever.
Right.
Some people will do that.
Some people will preserve their, their, their bodies and put them in little display cases.
Yeah.
Spray shellacum.
I didn't.
I said a nice little thing and disposed of him.
That was that.
Well, you get a new one then?
I have one.
I have a Nicaraguan curly hair.
Her name is River.
And so she's going to be my only tarantula for a while.
I don't I don't need to have tons and tons of them in my some people, some collectors that I know have hundreds of tarantulas in their homes.
No, I'm happy with one spider pet, one lizard pet, my cats and my dog.
Nice.
Me too.
I'm glad you got all those things.
Do
you
have to worry about the lizard eating the trance?
What's the food chain there?
Well, the food chain is that Zelda, the lizard, the bearded dragon would definitely eat the tarantula.
So we don't ever allow them to mix, of course, in enclosures or anything.
The tarantula stays in their enclosure.
Zelda does come out and play and run amok, but she's never near the enclosure for the tarantula.
And the tarantula doesn't need a partner to stay alive?
I
don't mean to sound weird, but...
Okay, that would be kind of fun if you put them both in like a thing see
what happens There's not gonna be a thunder dome of my pets.
It's not happening
Okay, I'm just saying that that would be kind of fun.
Wouldn't it to watch a dragon lizard dragon go after the tarantula.
Yeah
I'm sure you guys would
New Whisko weekend is great this weekend.
Last weekend we had a fantastic show focusing on Mother's Day.
This weekend's show is focusing on community supported agriculture and fruits and vegetables.
So we've got an interview with a CSA farmer in the Fox Valley.
His name is...
Justin Duell, and Terry Barr has a great interview with him.
We have stories on preventing food waste, on sneaking vegetables into those picky eaters' diets, cranberries.
We've got a lot of great stories.
You know,
I was watching Chef Jill the
other day,
okay?
And she's real down to earth in regards to food like that with her kids, who just
did would not eat vegetables, like had a thing they couldn't.
And she talked about all the different ways, same type of thing.
You shred these vegetables and you put in this other stuff and they don't know it's there and they're great with it.
But if you put that in front of them, they just won't eat it.
So that's a big thing right now, Lisa, that's going around.
Honestly, and my son would not, will not still, he's 23 and he still won't eat onions.
He's a little twerk when it comes to that.
But when he was younger,
I would puree onion because I'm sorry.
Spaghetti sauce or certain sauces without onion are just.
So I would puree the onion to at least get that flavor in there for me.
And then he couldn't he could never tell the difference.
Right.
Just it wasn't an onion.
No, that's a cool.
That's a really big thing going on right
now.
That vegetable thing you think the chef would know.
But there's so many ways to doctor up cauliflower Brussels.
That's one of
the big ones that she does
that.
And it's amazing how good that looks when it's done.
I like.
I'd see it raw, but I mean those vegetables you have to trick them a little bit.
You're
right.
Oh, I love deep fried cauliflower.
Yeah,
that's phenomenal.
That kind of takes the
right color
flower out of it.
You still
say you're eating cauliflower.
He just leaves
it.
Well, yeah, I guess.
Oh, the deep fried part.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
But then again, you're talking to somebody who's had deep fried Snickers and lived in the south where they fry
everything.
I've heard of those.
I've always wanted to get one.
Actually, really good.
I'll bet.
I'll bet.
Wow.
We're planning out the summer that reminds me the state fair, which is anything on a stick.
Yeah, we're going.
We're going to go down there.
So I've never been there.
Really?
Never been there.
Lisa, you've been there.
Not not to the Wisconsin.
Well, I
know one thing somebody told me that deep fry Twinkies.
Oh, yeah.
Deep fry Twinkies.
Oh, you name it.
Hostess Twinkies.
Yeah.
Oh, I mean, I love fair.
I still say fairs have the greatest.
um french fries of any place you ever go
blue and those blooming onions that's where they made their mark right oh yeah yeah yeah that's another in the blooming onions yeah
well we could talk about food all day yeah we could tell you it's one of my favorite topics
absolutely but maybe your son would go into the onions with the blooming onion yeah what do you eat that no no no wow okay wow okay all right
okay all right oh little picky
Well, he's he's on the autism spectrum.
So he's a lot
picky.
All right.
All right.
All right.
Well, it's a I got to tell you something, Alyssa.
You're cohort here.
Grotesque as far as the things he talks about eating.
What was it today?
Pig's tail?
Pig's tail.
Somebody wants me to try pig's tail.
Oxtails are good, right, Lisa?
Oxtail is very good.
But the thought of eating that, knowing what it is to cooks me out.
But you're eating the ribs anyway, and it's attached to the ribs.
I
know.
I know.
Well, even like I was talking about this restaurant I might go to and but they serve the I they serve the fish with the heads on I hate that
You don't well It's it's hard looking at your food when it's looking back at you that happened in New
York Jim went to dinner in New York, and it really they give they serve the fish with the heads on
yeah, that's That doesn't mean it's a bad piece.
That's kind of fancy when they do I know that but it's like
No, am I okay like I said even with
I don't like it.
Yeah, you don't like the face
on it
No,
Lisa.
Well, at least you there's no question.
They always have their face.
So
you do that, huh?
Oh,
yeah.
She sucks the heads right off.
Yeah.
Okay.
What else going on, Lisa?
Well, just, you know, Newisco weekend, Saturdays at eight, Sundays at 11 on WISS and WGBW.
Please check it out.
It's a fantastic show.
Yeah.
We've got a big day tomorrow.
Lisa and I are going to be doing
the
bike.
Osh thing.
Yeah.
Oshkosh.
So we'll be there from nine to noon at the radio station.
And then
we're going to,
yeah.
And then we're going to stop up to area 509 for the anniversary celebration in Appleton.
That's awesome, man.
That's a good day.
Yeah.
You haven't had.
the food at area 509 or Caribbean taste food truck.
You got to do it.
He never brought a sample.
I
went
to his food truck at the draft twice, but.
One time he wasn't open the other time he was closed.
So I didn't get you're right.
I didn't get to eat that.
So I've got to get there.
That's tomorrow.
Did you just say one time he wasn't open and the other time he was closed?
That is true.
I went there and he
wasn't I went there.
They were setting up.
Oh, they weren't open.
Give us 45.
His wife was there.
And she's
like, just give us Don and
I were there.
Just give us
45 minutes.
OK.
The time you get into the draft, you're not going to come back.
Yeah.
And we come back and it was like.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But Todd is their biggest fan.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I do.
I use
a great
guy, a great entrepreneur.
What about what about Lean Local this weekend, Jim?
What do you got coming up on Sunday?
Lean Local is going to be interesting.
Two things.
The school board race, and this is Green Bay, but the school board race, a lady lost by 333 votes.
And that's on 15,000 votes.
Well, that's a lot of votes because it's more than just the city of Green Bay, right?
Yeah.
And then I don't know if you saw, but there was one of the winners.
didn't truly live in the same.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He really lived
in Hobart and he, uh,
so there's an opening and she thinks that the voters spoke and she should move into that slot.
And they're like, we're going to interview, uh, start over.
Yeah.
Wow.
So she just wanted to talk about that.
And then we had a mod, uh, you're our assembly guy in here.
Great.
Boy, that guy's got a lot of energy.
That was fun.
Todd put a thing on for, or Terry Barton, with the guest we had on here yesterday.
Oh
yeah.
Um, if you want a great guest for your show sometime, get a hold of this gentleman, unbelievably successful football coach up in the UP, his son, the all American boy, commit suicide.
And, and with the coach, he gave up coaching and he's going around trying to get those story across that mental illness and, you know, can happen at such a young age.
He realizes now he saw it when his son was what, sixth grade.
Yeah,
he said about
first
round.
Yeah, about that time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And you just think, oh, it's kids growing up.
You know, it's how they are.
Right.
But like he tries to stress, if you had a torn ligament in your knee, you wouldn't just say, oh, forget about it.
Get over it.
It needs to be repaired.
It needs medical help.
And that's what he's trying to get across to people.
It's not just as I say, you know, all in your head, it's a real injury that you have.
You have a disease type thing.
And he's
trying to get that message across to
young kids.
It's a medical illness.
Mental health issues are medical issues, and this is Mental Health Awareness Month, and I did not know, so very
timely.
The other thing is, I was talking to these guys this morning before we came on, and one of my students kind of confided in me that he's going to go to EAP, you know, an employee assistant program, you know, that
you
go in if you're stressed, and I just, I said that's...
You're doing that.
I mean, that's just you know, he doesn't want to tell his friends that but I think that is really a good thing if the more we get comfortable with hey look I'm I can't handle all this stuff that's going on right now and stressed out I got school got a job and you go and you talk to these people and they tell you either living day-tight compartments or they give you some kind of help right he doesn't know yeah, but she doesn't know yeah
Lisa give your shop plug.
It's a phenomenal show

Anytime.
Y'all have a good one.
Y'all too.
See ya.
Yeah, what's the theme?
There's always a theme this song
this song is spider webs by no doubt did not know that yeah, so that's why Of
course all the spider web.
That's the
spurn web.
Okay.
Yeah.
Um, we got this from Torrey the smoked chubs from the fish market Kiwani are the best There's a lot of good meat in the head.
Yeah says
Torrey
didn't think about that.
There's gold ones, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's you know, that's an underrated place to the fish markets We got around up in that and Kiwani in those areas.
That's right one to get the salmon
All
that
smoke salmon.
Yeah.
How was that?
That
was great.
That place um But you're right.
I mean they go out there and
get that stuff.
I mean that's great stuff And another place we talk about these little other way places We've talked about a million times, but I don't care because it's my favorite place in the world is in Stangleville, right the meat place condoms Man
good stuff.
It is and it's family.
You know, it's second third generation That's nice too because it keeps you know
Secret.
I love it with smaller towns have these great little places like that.
I just think that's cool.
Yeah, Mark Houston is in the house.
All right.
Did you bike here?
It's
my mark.
No, he did not.
Wow.
Is that disappointing?
Holy
cow.
We listen to Connor, though.
We get a little bit of a break.
But yeah, Mark, it's
it's really.
Yeah.
The fluke is never bike to and back from
Canada.
Look easy.
Yeah.
They blaze the trail
like
tell
a national
bike to work day.
Yeah.
Well,
I know.
The car.
Yeah.
The car was the option today.
Well, Mark, use it.
It was a nice drive up.
Yeah.
Beautiful morning.
Oh, I know.
We're gonna enjoy this.
Yeah.
I
think
tomorrow it may slow down.
So... How's it go to the U.P.
this weekend?
I have 36.
Snow.
And wind.
They
could.
Yeah.
Isn't that something?
Ice fishing this weekend?
Yeah.
How you doing, Mark?
Good.
So my question for you.
Okay.
I know you want to talk about this with the hydrating and really hot weather, which it's gonna be 80 today.
Yeah.
But okay, so there's there's two trains of thought in this, correct?
There's kind of a thing going on where the Gatorades have too much and not to put down Gator don't sue me, but just there's certain ingredients that people are said, don't drink so much of that versus these kind of things, the ones you control by just putting them in your own water.
What's your opinion?
Yeah, I so
John and Jim, I think the easiest thing to say is water is so much easier.
Yeah, I got a bottle of water here and I'm
gonna go back in some there is one in the Iraq Afghanistan everything there would be like signs up in some of the mess halls Don't drink too much Gator, you know people think oh my god.
I got hydrate hydrate hydrate But they would overdo it and that would really hurt them
physically.
So the easiest I think the concept that everyone on thinks about is When the gate raid the power aides and you know, everyone can say well, are you bashing up?
No, there's a
Reason to use these.
I think Jim was talking about earlier as it's electrolytes.
It's in these.
That's what you want But what you buy
that separate
in a little
packet.
Yeah, so I mean these these come now big big difference though Jim because The Gatorade packet again not slamming Gatorade, but that packet is I believe it says a hundred and maybe 40 calories calories
where that liquid IV is like a third of it.
Okay.
So one of the things is, you know, you can't just, you can't just say it's the same packet
size.
Okay.
I got it.
So that's one
carbs.
But then, but then it's, it's also though.
So you're probably going to get more electrolytes in the Gatorade product.
Now
it says 34 carbs in this one thing, which is a lot of carbs.
I'm trying
to keep like under 20 carbs.
This
is
13.
13,
okay.
So, and it's the same, but you pour that in the same amount of water between the two.
Okay.
So, here's the biggest thing.
Now, this is where I will give Gatorade credit left and right.
I believe I've probably spoken about this in the past.
I had the ability to go down and see Gatorade, their facility where they do all the testing of these athletes and some of it's on commercials.
What the biggest thing that I learned that I want your listeners to hear is,
It's about how much you take in.
Your stomach can only pull out so much per minute, per hour.
So that's the, I will tell you, I really believe Gatorade always has been ahead of the game of what's the best product.
So like now they've got Gatorade products that are, if you're an endurance athlete, a triathlete, an ultramarathoner, you may not use Gatorade.
you're going to use a different type of product of the Gatorade line.
They've got, you know, chews.
So there's people who are diabetic.
They have these little, um, calm blocks or whatever.
And it's for sugar.
So, so I do appreciate everything, you know, and I'm, I'm probably biased because I've been down there, seen what their facility does, but Gatorade does do a lot of science, but they do a lot of education.
And I think that's the biggest thing when it really comes down to it is
Water if that's all you have is water and a jug and I don't care if it's a jug I don't care if it's a gallon doesn't matter doesn't matter if it's hot or cold water is gonna be your easiest thing but as We it has been warmer, you know and some people forget hit 85 86 87 whatever You may need some electrolytes.
So you may need some of those extra potassium sodium that helps you Recover better.
It's your water is just not gonna do it
Okay, what about the carbs though because obviously they also used to be the thing you carb a load you want as many carbs as humanly possible 34 carbs I mean you have you know who's gonna drink one you might have a couple you're talking like a Lot of carbs
correct.
You need those when you work out in hot weather more than any other
time You need the carbs, but it's a matter.
I think again.
It's a matter of how long you're working out when you're working out.
What are you doing?
Again that liquid IV that Jim's got
I would say I think a lot of this and
some pasta
a lot of a lot of college kids I think you know I have nephews and nieces went to the liquid IV and It was kind of a great recovery the next morning after a rough night.
Oh,
really?
Oh,
yeah, I think either it is fancier packaging But I would go with the liquid IV because that's exactly what you're looking for
right now That's a great name whoever got in gym.
I will tell you that Gatorade packet there.
Yeah, I struggle I have a I have a Gatorade bottle
I struggle with putting that whole packet in there.
That's a lot.
And the taste.
So it's I'll water it down a little bit.
I know I'm not supposed to probably say that, but it's what you have to do.
And that's why
you too can have the drink that has made me the man I am today.
Tang.
Tang.
It went to the moon.
Brian says, how about mountain dew in the morning?
Thank you, Brian.

Fantastic.
Mark Hughes in Bellensports Medicine in the house.
Talking about some important things like that when you're talking about the hydration aspects of things.
Yeah, I see Brian.
So the Mountain Dew is not good in the morning.
No, probably not the best, but, you know, good for your teeth, either.
But, you know, I live your own life, Brian.
It's, you know, I think it just comes down to it.
And you guys have heard me talk about it.
I went through, I do not drink enough water.
My wife and my son are always on my case.
I know I've gotten better.
Trust me, you go through a kidney stone, you start drinking a lot more water.
And I'm in the field.
I'm an athletic trainer.
I
worked in radio with a guy as he was passing a kidney stone.
And I've never seen, you know, you talk about was he white?
I've never seen a person, honestly, their face turned white from the pain he was going
through.
I don't wish that upon anyone.
So, you know, it goes back of these packets.
They're great.
Or you can buy, you know, the packets are so you can buy water.
mix them up, but you can buy the product that's already mixed up.
It's great.
It's going to help you out.
I think it's a matter of you have to figure out what you're doing, when you're doing it.
But you grab another good
point during the break, actually.
Back up a little bit here, Mark.
Let's talk about that.
We're okay.
You're going to go to practice.
So you drink some water beforehand or whatever.
That's almost like too late.
Yeah, it needs to be what three, four, maybe even
five hours earlier, right?
You got to look at the the temperature, you know, I mean, again,
we talked about this because it was a hit in 80s, you know, and kids will cramp up during this time, or you could be an adult and cramp up of, you know, walking and just too warm out.
Now it's gonna cool off here, but we know it's summer.
The biggest thing is you have to just make sure you get that hydration and you have to look ahead.
It's a matter of, okay, it's gonna be warm on Saturday.
I'm going to do a workout or I'm gonna be in the yard.
Guess what?
Maybe you need to start drinking water on the Thursday and hydrating yourself.
And it's okay to bring water with you.
I mean, you sports guys can't do that on the field, but I'm talking about people that jog or bike.
I mean, bring your water with you.
One guy on TV is talking about, he goes, you know, I saw the weirdest thing.
I was walking by this health club and there's a guy that's got a bottle of water in that area where you put your Pringles.
That's actually pretty
good.
But to bring water with you at the health club, that's okay.
That's why it's there.
To have
it throughout your workout
is what I'm saying.
Or leave it in your car.
Right.
I mean, it's like, I think some of the biggest times that you know, just take a cup of water bottle and put it in your car.
Right.
So afterwards, you got it.
It's there.
Eight ounces, 12 ounces.
That's just what
we said because I remember the Packers did their big remodel whatever year
they went.
And one of the guys giving the tour all over the game.
They had the desk were built in then for the computer cords and everything with the home.
And the guy was telling you need to that's where the sports writers will keep their coffee.
And that was the grommet for that.
And then I remember Larry McCarran told me when they did the remodel, I forget what year they had built in ashtrays in the locker room.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Wow.
But you know, I mean, think about cars.
Yeah.
You know, I mean, before my time and I am 50, but there was cars that had ashtrays in them.
I mean, I didn't tell me right now that you can find an ashtray in yeah, I mean Yeah, I'm not calling you guys old, but you guys that was probably I mean that
we used them to
hit his pot I hit a guy who's the valet in Chicago actually and He said when they park first thing to do is check the ashtray for pot and they would steal it every single
time Nobody's gonna say no
one's gonna complain somebody stole my pot right.
Yeah
No, it's uh, I mean times have changed and it's just again where yeah, we've talked about what old school some people like I don't need water You need water and you definitely can use any knees now John you bring in that's another that's I think that's the newer version my tang yeah, we're but it's tang but there's a lot of these bottles and you just Yeah, yeah, I think I squirt squirt it in and you you determine the taste that you want
well not only that but even the cost mark I mean I use tap water
And I'll just fill up a big jug, and then you use this, okay?
So you're probably putting in 50 cents worth of this for, you know, half a gallon.
How many liters in a half a gallon, Jim?
No one knows.
So
anyway,
I use that, but think about
that if you bought just
flavored water, otherwise it'd be like two, three dollars a piece.
So it's really cost effective, I think.
Yeah, I really do.
But you know what's funny too, when you go back in time, when we were kids, all right, healthiest thing you could possibly drink was orange juice.
Now, orange juice, they say it's basically like liquid sugar.
You know, the things that we were told were so great for you, or even high C was supposed to be really healthy for you.
The biggest thing is sometimes it's just flavoring, which is huge, though.
I think I was one of those people that said, there's no flavor in water, and I probably didn't drink it as much.
I've realized after going through a kidney stone, you and my doctor even told me that said, get some flavoring, that liquid IV.
bought a box of those and I'm down I think about four or five of them at work.
I only use probably half of those, half of a packet.
So it's just not as lemony.
Can you OD on this stuff?
Can
you take two
marchers?
So it's one at work out?
Yeah, for something like that, if you were gonna, or after work out, you know what I mean?
I'm
gonna get some of that.
Okay, the opposite thing we used to, they used to tell us orange juice was so phenomenal for you.
you know, 90% sugar, whatever.
The opposite end, what they used to tell us was terrible for us.
And now you'll find in locker rooms all over the place.
Chocolate milk.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Remember?
Oh, it's gonna rot on all your teeth.
That's terrible for you.
Drink white milk.
Don't drink chocolate.
Now go into a post-workout
thing.
Well, and some people will say this.
It's all chocolate milk.
Some people will say, does it have to be chocolate milk?
No, you know what I mean?
But it's, you know, I mean, it's like whatever you have, but chocolate milk,
It's, we see it after races, you know, they give you the little, the little, uh, whatever it may be, but six ounces and, um, you know, I mean, it just, it's, it's, it's tastes very good.
Yeah.
It's refreshing.
Nothing better than chocolate milk.
Nice cold chocolate milk.
Yeah.
So, um, and that it's so easy to, to have.
But it's a great post-workout thing.
It is.
It is.
And then we're
grown up where that was the worst thing you
could possibly have.
You know, you think I guarantee if you go to the Packers, they've got, you know, a little area where they can make up smoothies.
You know, they, they, they mix protein shakes and whatever's the mixture to them.
You know, we may be the three of us sitting there.
We may have all three, three different smoothies or protein shakes.
Yeah.
Because Jim may not like so-and-so in his, but I do.
Yeah.
So can
I tell you which is a great protein shake like you want to believe?
I'll make you one.
I'm gonna make you guys one.
Okay.
It's Tang.
Why is Jim rolling his eyes?
Because he says it every day that he never brings one,
right?
I was just gonna say because you had to throw out your blender.
Yeah, you never
cleaned it.
That's why it was great that
he admitted that he did not clean his blender It was so dirty couldn't chisel it out through the whole damn thing away
Wow, can I continue anyway sure so it's tang Vanilla protein powder avocados and pistachio nuts and you put those in a blender together and it tastes so delicious
It's unbelievable and it's the most healthy thing you could possibly have.
What do you have to do after this little gym?
Clean the
wash it's nothing to do that
rinse it out a little bit at least yeah
the dishwasher
Good
to
see you.
Yeah.
Hey, this has been great.
Hey, this is the
last time I'm gonna say this word the draft Yeah, these two words.
It's the last time you say it.
Okay.
Did you get a chance to enjoy it?
Yeah, cuz that night
that night I give you all the credit the world I didn't you Could not move or somebody was mark mark.
Where's the bus mark?
So
did you get a
chance to sit back and enjoy?
I mean, you were
sleeping in your office
and all these things.
Yeah, I did.
Some people think I was, you know, I was crazy to do that.
But no, honestly, it was a great experience.
And I just had a discussion with my leader yesterday.
And it was very fun to do.
It took a lot of our times.
But I tell you what, I would not trade it.
And your question, I really think on Saturday, I was able to, you know,
went home on Friday night and saw my mom and my wife and son and Saturday we came up and actually really had four hours at the draft and it was a fun time to go.
And it wasn't that busy Saturday morning, that's when
we went.
We went Saturday afternoon, but I was shocked.
I looked and said, man, it's kind of quieter down here.
To find out that there was the number that came in on Saturday, I wouldn't have guessed it, wouldn't even come close.
I would have said 150,000.
it was a fun activity to do.
Someone, I know people up here are saying, would you do it all over again?
I don't know if I could do that on an every year basis, but that's three days, that's a lot.
So to give the NFL credit wherever they go, that's a lot.
But I will say, what a great event.
I think this community shined to the world.
Yes, and it was successful on a lot of different levels.
Obviously police loved it.
NFL loved it a lot of fans loved it.
I just hope we take that confidence now and parlay that into more events Yeah,
big
events like Johnny we were big fans of using the not the Coliseum but using the
Lambo as
you know stones Springsteen or
at the number one you want stones probably
Well, you know, I'm a big thing
probably
like a Todd, you know more about this was that whole eras tour with with Taylor
Swift Yeah, that
would have been a great tie-in on her husband or player
right and she was that she played Huge and then we're bigger than Nashville.
Yeah, she played there.
I think a couple three nights But that would be cool if we could do something like that I think that would be fun and I think because there's no there's nothing if you can pull off the draft I'm thinking you can pull off anything
I don't think the soccer thing is that big to you.
No, I didn't like
coming to that drug
Yeah, you know,
I think you'd
be shocked.
Oh, there was the following.
I just say I know
it does but what around here that would come out and watch with it that that big Yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
I did
they have do you remember they did
pretty well, right?
Was that 60,000?
Oh, they did have that many, huh?
Okay, okay, but you know, I get it there You're gonna have people are gonna travel as well, but I think that's what people are shocked of
How much how many people will travel for that for soccer?
Yeah, okay?
I you know you talk about you know the concerts that would pull someone in and I've heard that discussion You know, I mean the stones.
I think I saw the stones that
you've never seen them.
Oh, you've never seen them.
No, so the stones in 90 No 89 pouring rain Alpine Valley like no kidding a pouring rain.
Oh, that's cool Yeah, I know they played
up the old County Stadium one time.
Yeah
That's cool.
Got a good texture.
You can save avocado pits.
I've always wondered what to do with those things.
They seem like there should be something you can do with them.
Save avocado pits, roast them, grind them, and then sprinkle on your food to fight cancer.
Deanne, I want to know more about this, Deanne.
I like that.
I like that a lot.
I'm going to do that.
Um,
that she could be onto something there because like apricot pits and stuff, there's, there's, but there's.
Carson, Carson, arsenic.
And
there's our
synogens.
Is that what
you're thinking?
Yeah,
carcinogens.
I couldn't do that.
That's going to be interesting.
I didn't know that because it seemed like a waste because it's, you know, it's a decent size.
It's
really solid.
Well, you can also, you can also grow a tree out of it.
An avocado tree.
Yeah.
You,
you, you, you plant, you put that in the seed.
That's
where
put
some in your pasture.
Yeah.
What?
I mean,
I don't know.
I don't know if they grow here.
I think
the other

That's true.
Cool.
That's the hard part.
How's Baltimore
doing?
Not very good.
I don't know.
I don't follow
major
league other teams all that much.
But there's, you know what?
I went to their stadium, took a tour.
It's like beautiful.
Man.
I
don't follow regular seasons the way I used to.
You don't need your kid or your whatever, whatever.
But also, it just, I'm so old, okay?
I don't have the energy sometimes to get on the computer and go on all the websites.
I mean, it used to be, you'd get your newspaper.
And
you'd
read all the, I mean, I used to get, this is how far back I go at the TV, or the radio or TV stations, actually.
I'd get the Milwaukee Journal, the Milwaukee Sentinel, the Presquizet, the News Chronicle.
the Post Crescent and the Oshkosh Northwestern and the Manitowoc paper.
When Manitowoc used to have a paper, we'd have like every day, like six newspapers every day.
Isn't that
funny when you think back?
And
it was great.
That's what I mean.
But you followed sports because I was in front of you.
Right.
Now you got to kind of go
out and find it.
And I just don't.
I should, but I just don't know.
I just like their stadium a lot.
I like Baltimore.
I was just curious.
I don't know.
I don't follow baseball.
Her that's tough part of town, though.
It
is.
it
is
but they have that
because they've got like the highest murder rate in the country right now I think
yeah it's up there um but they have the uh the the uh the power plant they that whole area that they redid and it is and you go in there and just all these different restaurants and
And you know, they had dueling pianos in one bar and they've got a 60s bar.
Speaking of which.
It is really, really, really fun.
We've got a member of the new dueling pianos coming up here today for our music series,
Dan Rafferty.
And that's going to be awesome.
And he's going to tell us about another event he's playing at.
Yes, absolutely.
That'll be fun.
Yeah.
We've got John Cramer, Kevin Osgood coming in, United States Coast Guard Auxiliary talking about getting your boats ready right now.
And be safe.
Which we need to do.
Yep.
Orioles are 15 and 27.
15
and 27.
Okay.
That's too bad.
Yeah, it was fun when we went through there and they haven't been good in a while.
But that stadium looks brand new.
I mean, I can't believe it's like Lambo.
They just have maintained that thing impeccably.
Oh, it's great.
Anyway, I don't.
But a four pack of tickets.
I know that's not bad, people.
You get a little you got 34 minutes to get her done.
Sounds like the Brewers are going to win, too.
Right.
Well, we'll see.
They're they can look good and then go two games without doing anything and making hard team to figure out yet.
But they've had so many unbelievable early injuries and.
Let's get crazy.
We also have Reggie coming on from Area 509 Anniversary Party, a great, great food.
Would you consider a food truck, Todd?
Well, he's so six years ago.
He started his food truck, right Caribbean taste.
Yes three years ago They opened the actual restaurant area 509.
Yes,
and this year they just kicked off another food truck called busted spud
Okay, that's what I mean.
So it's all he's got the whole all of them
Yep,

Well, here is how you can do it.

Eight o'clock is the deadline for your chance to win four tickets.
to the Brewers Orioles game on Wednesday, May 21st.
Your next chance this morning is after nine o'clock with that man on
air.
What did
you do?
What
did you do?
It's coffee.
Spilled his coffee.
You guys take over.
I'll come and get some stuff.
Do the show.
Do the
show.
He spilled his coffee.
Am I going to get electrocuted?
You might.
We hit an unexpected wave.
This happens on the water and the beverages get spilled.
Everything's safe.
You
need
to get him those sippy cups those kid sippy cups with the handles and that'll be your when's your birthday John?
How can I be quiet when this is an
excellent opportunity to terrorize you?
Alright, see you guys!
Tell us.
I want
to
talk about this.
I had something on my show, too, about this voter safety.
It's really sad because those deaths there are so preventable,
so preventable.
I mean, it's just where I like it.
Right.
Right.
The one of the one of the the stats that I get people's permission with without throwing coffee at them is is is that if you end up in the water from a boating accident of all the people that end up in the water from a boating accident.
Almost 80% of those people who drown, we're not wearing a life jacket.
So 80% of the people who drown from a voting accident, we're not
wearing a
life jacket.
If you wear your life jacket, we can cut these deaths down on the water by what?
80%.
And
life jackets, it's a law too that there's life jackets in the boat for every passenger, right?
Correct.
Every passenger has to have a life jacket if you're
under
age 13.
You may have to wear them all the time.
You do?
Yeah, if you're 12 and under.
Oh, I see, okay.
12 and under.
If you're an adult, they just need to be, the life jackets need to be readily accessible.
And a lot of people don't understand what readily accessible means.
So when we do our vessel inspections one-on-one with boaters, we complain that.
And that means they can be under a bench,
but
that bench can't latch.
Oh, okay.
I tell people to imagine it this way.
If the boat is sinking,
and you made the decision to not have your life jacket on, you want those life jackets to float out of the boat so you have a chance of getting.
If it's in a locked, something that latches, they're gonna go down with the ship.
And that's gonna be completely useless to you.
Also, something else to do in the summer that's fun and teaches a lesson is if you go out to Long Tail or wherever
and
you're at anchor, get in the water that's just deep enough and then try and put your life jacket on.
It's really, really hard to do once you're in the water.
It's it will teach you to go ahead and put it on and wear it when you're on the boat.
So
I want to put this on.
We want to put these on because we're talking about doing a some competitions this summer in regards to kayaking.
OK.
Speed kayaking.
Oh, speed kayaking.
And it's
kayaking, just kayaking.
We
can make it down the river.
It's
different.
There's legionally kayaking.
This is a race.
This is a legitimate race.
If you're tracking along, the coffee's been
cleaned up
now.
But anyway, we were talking about this the other day with kayaking people and you know, they can tip.
I mean it I'm a kayaker too.
Okay.
Yep.
Yep.
Yep.
So you got no turn but but the thing is Okay, so these are Coast Guard approved up.
I mean, this is what
you guys use, right?
That's what we wear.
Okay.
I wanted to get one kind of like what Bert Reynolds wore in deliverance
Yeah, yeah,
this is
not the most comfortable lifejack.
That's what I mean.
I it seems like it'd be hard to
That's the beauty of today.
I mean, this is what we have to wear when we're on patrol in the Coast
Guard.
But they have a lot in their life jackets that are so many choices out there.
Okay, I didn't think these were that bad.
I tried one on.
I didn't think this was bad compared to what I had as a kid.
You know, you had the big neck thing that came around and stuff.
I don't think that's that bad.
We almost brought
those for you to wear.
Do they still make
those?
Yes, they still make those because you want that.
to if you go in the water and you're unconscious, that thing around your neck rolls you around so your face is out of the water and you can continue to
breathe.
Remember the movie PT 109?
Remember that?
And they all had those kind when they're bobbing in the water?
Yeah.
They did.
I want one of those.
They weren't bright orange, but yeah, it's a different time.
Wow.
So
for those of you scoring at home, it's national wear your life jacket to work day.
Exactly.
That's
why we got the a gentleman here in our life jacket.
But I want to try it on because I didn't realize how
This these are really you feel real secure
put it that way when we go on patrol We wear those and then we wear a sar vest over the top of that Which is like a netted vest that has equipment on it that we might oh, okay And safety equipment as well
now are there okay if somebody's getting into boating okay, which I plan on doing um Like does the price of a life jacket?
Matter because don't they have like a time limit like you you'll stay up for like two hours or something or how does
that work?
That there's not so much a time limit.
It is it is a purpose that there are specific life jackets to paddling.
Oh, and so when I do presentations for paddler groups, the kayakers make sure, especially people who are new getting into the sport, they'll just run down to the big box, grab that's what
I'm asking
one.
And they're going to they're going to not have a good experience in a kayak because of the way that life jacket is built.
Get a life jacket that's designed or a kayaker.
I did not know that.
Yes.
You just
answered my
question
completely.
And
this isn't that.
No, these are that is serious right
now.
Yeah,
but
I don't know these are
I'm gonna go Bob and Lake Superior
I could not wear that and roll my kayak with wearing that it just would not I don't know if I could go under and come back up again right
I don't know if I could get to that tip point underneath.
Okay, what's that like when you do that because who do we have in here Jim?
We're talking about it.
Yeah, she even said it was but it's pretty
cool We're not
it
is that kayak that you have we're taking much wider kayaks.
We're not gonna tip.
Okay, so she's got different kayaks for us She runs them out at four or five different parks.
What is
this?
We're not sure yet,
but we're
training.
Well, here's the deal She's got it at Lily Lake and she's got it in Howard.
She's putting
up on
Lily Lake
the East River.
We're doing the East River.
OK.
That's a nice place to kayak.
Yeah.
So we're going to do that.
But we're not going to roll them.
We're not.
It's not that.
It's just we want to stay dry.
Stay
dry.
But everybody's going
to wear a life jacket.
Yeah, we will.
Are you kidding me?
Absolutely.
You asked about the drowning and that's that's something else is most most of those drownings happen within a very short distance of shore.
Really?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
And I'm you know, I'm I'm sure.
You're with friends, so you know the person who drowned.
I mean, that's gonna be an awful, awful.
Nobody wants that experience.
No.
I mean, find a life jacket that's comfortable and wear it.
And if you don't have one, you guys rent them, right?
No, we don't rent them.
We don't rent them.
I don't rent them.
We don't rent them.
I thought you could get one from the Coast Guard.
No?
No.
But you have to have
one.
I mean, yeah.
There have been times when we've been on patrol.
and come across a family that might have an infant or a young child not in a life jacket and they don't have a life jacket.
If we were the active duty Coast Guard, they might get their day on the water terminated and sent back with a ticket.
Generally, we try to carry some extra life jackets to help people out like that.
Nice.
Do
water skiers still wear those ones that are just kind of like a waist type thing?
No, I think they wear those really cool thin ones now.
Okay.
Yeah.
Cause
remember those years ago?
Yeah.
Like every life, water skier had those kind of life jackets?
The deliverance life jacket.
No, no, no, no, no.
It was just like a big belt type thing.
Yeah.
I don't know that they wear those anymore.
No.
No, you wear those happens.
He's talking about there like.
Lime green and yeah,
whatever they look stylish.
They're thin.
You got like three buck.
Yeah, no latches buckles.
Yeah,
you okay Let me ask you this just rules and regulation wise.
Do you does a water skier need to have a lifejacket on legally?
I would Google
but I don't legally I
would think they would yeah, you get a ski in the head.
Yeah, all right
Yeah,
yeah, you're gonna let go you're not you don't float and what here's the other
We don't have gills so we're a life jacket.
I'm gonna tell you something that is the one one sport Or whatever you want to call it that I failed at I could not I tried like an entire day to get up in water skiing the one sport Yeah, okay, and I could not I just couldn't do it now one time.
Could you yeah?
Are you talking about learning water skiing
or
cleaning the blender?
Thanks, Todd.
In fact, I think if you do get a boat, we should call it the blender.
I think I
like that a lot.
I could that's the hardest thing I've ever tried doing my wife was water ski.
You gotta stand up.
That's you're I couldn't get up.
That's why I just get pulled around on a tube.
Oh, yeah, that's fun.
Yeah, that's a lot of fun
God, that's hard and some people are throwing one ski and doing whatever whatever and it's like
until until your friends wake you and send you
Shooting up flying.
All right.
That's fine So this is a big deal not just for you guys, but it's the whole city.
I've got this proclamation the mayor wrong.
Isn't that nice?
You're giving them a proclamation.
No, no, I they have Sixteen of mine
this coming one from starting tomorrow is national safe boating week, right?
And
it's a proclamation by
okay, you're there
so the current mayor
John
and
we
thought I'd be
Funny if the
past mayor, or the former mayor reads it.
We write pretty much the same.
They all start with whereas.
On an average, get this said, 650 people die each year in voting related accidents in the U.S.
75% of these fatalities are caused by drowning.
Isn't that something 650 people are gonna die this year?
For not wearing a life jacket.
For something that's so preventable.
80%.
And it's so
incredible.
Anyway, uh, whereas the vast majority of these accidents are caused by human error or poor judgment and not by the boat equipment or environmental factors, because people say, oh, the water was rough, this and that.
It did not just, that's not what it is.
The boat doesn't break down.
It's just bad decisions by
the people
in the boat.
And if you make bad decisions in preparation, when things go wrong on the water, they go wrong fast.
All right.
So then
Eric Lee writes three of these stanzas.
I wrote a lot more.
You did, but.
Okay.
You didn't have anything else to do.
Yes.
All
right.
Thank you, Todd.
Whereas a significant number of boaters lose their lives by drowning each year would be alive today if they wore their life jackets.
And that is so obvious, so simple, yet they don't do it.
And we have confirmed that water skiing requires a life jacket.
Oh, they do.
That would make sense to me.
You know, I got to
say, this young kid, I used to do all kinds of charter fishing stories, you know, going up forever.
And remember this young kid that worked down there and, and, uh,
He said the scariest thing.
He said, you know, the water seemed calm.
We weren't that far from short when they're taking out and one of the guests, you know, the chart, the people, customers, uh, was doing, screwing around with the big net that they had.
He dropped it overboard.
Okay.
And this kid jumped in to get it.
He said, I'll tell you what, I'm a really strong swimmer, grew up swimming.
I've never experienced this.
I don't like Michigan.
He said, within like seconds, I like couldn't see the boat, you know, those swells that seem like nothing like it's, and he, he said, it's the most panicky feeling you'll ever have in your entire
life.
And in addition to that, and I took several years ago when my son was in high school, we took, and I had a boat.
We went out not far from Longtail and we had a great day.
And then a couple of days later,
a couple days a year later, living up in Sturgeon Bay, take the same friends out on a boat, and he's like, I'm gonna jump in the lake.
We're at anchor on Lake Michigan side.
And I said, the water's a lot colder.
Then you'd
ever
think.
Push your life jacket on, or at least carry this one with you off the beach.
He goes, no, no, I'm fine.
He jumped in that water at 58 degrees, and you get that surprise shock.
And what happens when you hit that colder water is you go, and you breathe in.
And if you're underwater,
Man
now you've now you're in trouble.
Yeah, that's why the wearing the life jacket especially In our colder waters here because they never let's be honest unless you're really in the southern part of Green Bay.
They never get warm.
So always dangerous,
but these 650 people that Okay, everybody knows you have to have one life jacket for everyone on the boat, right?
I mean, isn't that I wish everybody knew that but yes And there's mean if they don't though I'm right.
I want to get to is there a sign there that you don't
Take your boat in the water till you have life jackets.
I mean, is there any reminders of that?
Because some people get pretty excited to get on the water too, especially the first
day.
It's like,
oh, let's go, let's go, let's go.
I mean, that's why the best thing to know.
There isn't a sign or anything to remind people.
It's common sense or ask us to come and invite us to come do an inspection on your boat.
Before we do that, that's a good
idea.
If there's a common denominator of that 650 people or they're common denominators, aside from not wearing a life jacket that come into play, send a quick break back at this.
Since I'm a virgin like me
I need
All right, don't forget it's a free ticket.
Friday, your chance to see the Brewers take on Baltimore on May 21st.
The keyword this hour is gold, G-O-L-D.
Download that Civic Media app and make sure and choose W-I-S-S or W-G-V-W.
That word again is gold, G-O-L-D.
You've got until eight o'clock to get that in.
Another shot to a win coming up this morning after nine o'clock.
Once again, it's Mino and the mayor.
Great text that just came in they call it a life jacket for a reason,
you know,
it's that's not called it to help you float jacket I
mean, it's
really it can save your life
exactly you
just said a number of times today And that's it's something to think about they call
it a life jacket for a reason.
That's a really good good way to put it I'm glad they did that.
I'm gonna be using that.
That
was gizmo Gizmo.
Thank
you.
Thank you for that.
That is true though,
right?
I
mean you look at it
It's like this isn't let's
have fun in the water.
It's a little uncomfortable, right?
It could save you it's gonna save your life if something happens right
before we went to the break we're talked about the 650 some things
that died yeah
that passed away did you guys when you guys do you research or not research but you get kind of reports and all these kind of things and you see a common denominator and obviously we mentioned the life jackets right but what other common denominators have you guys seen
there's a couple that that stand out every year and every year
The Coast Guard and and several other agencies do the research look at the numbers and they break it down and and I go through that report It's the federal government.
So it lags behind about 18 18 to 20 months So you're talking about numbers from the previous year, but sure but over multiple years It's the same thing.
It's the life jacket wearing it is Taking a boating safety class again It's 80% of the voters out there have never taken a class period never and then the most
Dangerous boat to be on in so far as statistics go is an open 19 footer less with an outboard motor open power boat Which when you look at that and we've had why is this why is this the most dangerous?
Why
is
this where the most people get hurt?
It's also like the entry level No, you're getting that that fishing boat or that first boat and it's just it's an open boat
It's 16, 18 feet with an outboard on it.
And have you taken, and then you add the other things on top of it.
Are you wearing the life jacket?
Have you taken a class?
And it's just a formula for something to go wrong.
So motor safety class, I know that you offer those and people can take them, adults, kids.
Kids have to take them though, right?
They're under 16.
Is that, is that the deal with you guys?
Anyway, so if they took the class, what would they avoid?
Do they,
Do they turn too sharp?
I guess that's one of the reasons people
fall off.
There's a lot of different things depending on the boat.
Turning too sharp, just not knowing what to do in certain situations.
Not paying attention to the weather.
That's a huge thing.
It's like, well,
we know
storms are coming in the afternoon.
Let's get our time in out on the bay while we can.
And then the storms come two hours early.
And you're trying to get back in
a boat
that has eight inches of freeboard.
you know, a 12-inch wave is hitting you.
You're taking on water the whole time you're trying to get back.
And the dark, trying to navigate in the dark.
If you've never done that, it is completely, it is a nerve-wracking experience.
And even when you know the water as well, you have to pay attention and go slow.
And people go way too fast in the dark and run into things.
We have a lot.
I mean, the islands out here in the southern part of the bay,
Cat Island, and you can hit so many things when in the dark and just never see them.
Well, you even see when the water's low, you see stumps coming up from
trees.
Green Bay, a lot of new boaters don't realize how shallow the southern end of Green Bay is, especially on the east side.
I mean, you can run into a stump, you can run into a shipwreck.
It's pretty dangerous.
Except for that shipping channel, the whole thing is so shallow.
And then in the shipping channel, you got to pay attention to ships.
So, and that's something that a lot of people don't do as well.
They're like, well, I have the right away.
Well, do you, there's no such thing as right of way.
One thing
you didn't mention that I'm surprised at.
What about alcohol?
Is that a factor?
Alcohol is a huge factor.
Okay.
It is, it is.
And having, having a sober captain, critically important.
And we have a big campaign for that around the fourth of July weekend.
But drinking on the water, it affects you faster because you dehydrate faster and there's constant movement and muscle motion in your body that you don't realize you're even doing.
So.
the effect of that one or two beers or whatever is going to have twice the impact it has when you're ashore.
Wow, I didn't think about that, but you're right.
Being
off
there like that with other, there's a lot more movement than you
think.
And it's very accepted to drink on the water too.
That's why you say it's so important to understand the effect it's going to have on you.
But secondly, to have a designated captain that's
not going to drink.
Can you guys give tests?
It's not that hard to drive a boat.
The Coast Guard will or the law enforcement, if they suspect you're drunk driving on the water, you will absolutely.
Really like right there.
They give you a test or whatever.
Sure.
Just like just like on the highway.
I
did not know
that Wow, you vote quite a few of those last year And they I mean they'll they'll secure you and take you to shore because you know, you can't exactly do some of those That's
what I was asked.
Yeah, okay.
They
do take you to shore.
Okay.
You're not gonna have to walk the line.
That's right
Okay, all right interesting stuff once again, give everybody a little heads up.
This is boating safety
week
Boating Safety Week, National Boating Safety Week.
We're going to have vessel inspectors all over Northeast Wisconsin and the marinas and the boat ramps.
Take advantage of that.
Don't like, what are they doing?
We're not going to write you tickets.
No.
We're going to
look at your boat, tell you what you need.
Or, you know, and if you have everything, you're going to get a sticker.
And that sticker helps that in those busy, busy summer holidays, when everybody's out on the water and the Coast Guard and the DNR is looking for people to stop and do a safety inspection, you have a sticker that probably not going to stop you.
We got a
favor to ask.
kids to guess how
we got a
favor to ask.
All right.
When we have our challenge or we got a challenge, will you guys be there?
Well,
you know what?
We should talk about that.
Yeah.
That was
a resounding no.
We're going to be careful.

You get a great website.
Thank you.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you.
Tell everybody again who you are, what you do, where you're located, the whole thing.
My name is Reggie.
I'm the owner of Area 509 Caribbean Tasting Busted Spud.
And we are located in Appleton at 1025 North Badger Avenue.
That location is two blocks away from Appleton West High School.
So Area 509 is a Haitian restaurant.
We serve rice and beans, fire plantain, a few Caribbean dishes.
And then we do have busted spud that serve loaded potatoes.
I'm not that familiar with busted spud.
What is that?
You just, you order the potato and you can add, what, five, six
different
ingredients?
What do you all
have?
What we do, what we do, you get to choose if you want a potato, if you want a, if you want potato tarts or if you want fries, and then we loaded that with meat for you.
Like if you want, we have a chicken bacon ranch, we have a brisket, we have a pork here that's pork done it.
So yeah, and then we have a taco potato.
That's phenomenal.
I'm liking that busted spud.
I like that.
Okay.
Well, I'm gonna that's different.
Yes.
I liked it a lot and you give some variety with that too.
You can pick what we want.
Hmm.
Yes.
Yes.
I like it, Reggie.
I like it a lot.
Thank you.
Now, what do you got going on tonight and tomorrow?
Tonight we heading downtown to the lights tonight.
Both trucks are going to be there.
Caribbean Tastes and Busted Spud will be there.
And then tomorrow is our 6th year anniversary for Caribbean Tastes and 3 years anniversary for LA509.
So we have some live music scheduled for the openers.
We do have...
Luminati that's from coming from a Green Bay.
And then we have a Joe soundtrack, which is a Haitian DJ.
So if you like music, you like Caribbean music, he's coming from Chicago.
And then we have Gize that's coming from Chicago as well.
Wow.
And this is all happening in Appleton, right?
Yes.
All right.
But tomorrow then, tomorrow at 1025 North Broadway, that's your place.
The 1025 North Badger Avenue, that's in Appleton.
Yeah.
OK.
And that's your
place.
That's tomorrow.
Yeah, tomorrow May 17th.
Okay.
Great.
Awesome.
You're gonna get a good turnout.
You got good weather coming up tonight.
That's for sure.
Tomorrow, it's gonna be fine.
Tomorrow, we have gonna be a little bit lower, 62 degrees.
We do have some fire paid.
So we're gonna make sure all the fire has gas in them.
So we make sure everybody stay warm out there and the drinks are gonna be cold.
The foods are gonna be warm.
And the music will be good too.
I feel like when you dancing, you don't even feel the cold.
Reggie, with all the different foods you have,
Like I said, looking at your website, it just, it looks great.
What's your, what are the beverages you recommend?
The beverages that I recommend, we have a homemade lemonade that is really popular.
We'll make 15 to 20 gallons that's going to be on the back.
And then we have some IPA.
We have that, I can't remember the name of it, but it comes from the brewery from Green Bay.
One, uh, one drink that is really popular at the bar that we get from a badger state.
And yeah, we have, we have a variety of the beer and wines available at the bar.
And then we have some Haitian drinks too called Colacworn.
That's like, uh, like will Haitian drinks and tastes like Haiti in the batter, you know, so it's will tropical, very flavorful drinks.
Haiti in a bottle.
I like the sounds of that Reggie.
What kind of alcohol do you, is it rum?
All rum
based?
We don't have a liquor license and right now we only serving beer and wine.
So mostly we have beer and wine and a can.
So we don't, we don't have a liquor license yet.
So we'll have beer and wine available.
Okay, all right guys, you asked Jim a minute or so ago when you asked about dude like spicy food.
How spicy, I mean sometimes do you ask people how spicy can you handle type of thing?
How hot do some of your dishes get, Reg?
Yeah, that's a good question, but the thing, the question that we usually get, people think everything on the menu is...
Spicy but not really because that the axle is not spicy But if you know that adventurous we have a grill that's a fried pork belly that is not spicy And then we do have a pork garlic pork that is not spicy It's actually the same pork that we use on the potato like to do the porker and most of our Followers love it.
So like yeah, they when people secret in food they assume it's all spicy.
It's all like
gonna burn your face but we don't cook like that we don't we don't make it like where you you just burn your face but you don't actually
The food has no taste.
The food actually has a good taste.
It just has a little kick.
Like, you know, that makes you want to grab a drink and just feel like you're in a Caribbean.
That
sounds
awesome.
So Reggie, what I like about your food truck, it's different, right?
I mean, there's a lot of tacos and things, which is great.
That's good food and of course burgers and brats.
But where are you getting these recipes?
Is this something from?
Back home your mom
Those came down from my mom and there's no written recipe It was just like spending time with her in the kitchen and I got going up in Haiti with no no sisters and So you gotta learn from your mom when because my mom always say like that's how we got I got this girl She's like she never know she said we never know where we're gonna end it up in life So we're gonna have to learn how to cook clean and make sure like we can take care of ourselves So now it becomes a business
Hey, Reggie, we got a quick text here.
It says, to say hi to your manager Roxanne, she's the real boss of the organization.
Yep.
Yep.
Yeah, she sure is.
She sure is.
Hey, Reggie, I got to ask you how far back, how many thousands of years has it been traced where somebody was so hungry in Haiti that they said, I'm so hungry, I could eat that ox's tail.
How far?
How did that get on there?
Who
was the first guy that decided, I'm going to eat his tail?
I mean, I don't have that story.
I don't know how that begins.
But it's the same as, let's look at lobster.
You know, lobster was actually like a poor people food in seven.
Now it becomes like a luxury.
So it's the same for axel.
Axel was kind of like, you know, something like
if you could not afford to meet that's the only thing you could afford but now not anybody like you so a really expensive meat because axel is actually more expensive than a piece of steak you know like we're paying like 10 to like uh 11 a pound for axel wow
Yeah, axel is not actually a cheap meat, so it's kind of like, it's the flavor, it's the texture.
Kind of like drawing people toward it.
I mean, it's the same as, again, we're looking at lobster tail.
That was just like a, you know, the story of it was just like people who could not afford meat was just eating lobster.
But now, it becomes like a fancy and luxury food.
That's incredible.
I got a text here from Sergio.
Busted Spud is amazing.
All capitals.
Amazing.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Busted Spud is the same as Cui Mi and taste.
We put all the love in the food and we like serving fresh and wonderful
food.
Okay.
One more time.
Tell everybody where you're going to be tonight, tomorrow there, Reggie.
Tonight will be downtown Appleton with light the night.
Both truck will be there will be creepy in case and busted spot and tomorrow May 17th will be an Appleton at our location area 509 the address is 1025 North Badger Avenue and then we have three shorts for you.
The first one would be Luminati.
Second one would be Joe Soundtrack and then the third one would be Gizay.
Outstanding.
That'd be a fun day.
Reggie!
Yes
Amore!
Area 509, did I pronounce that correctly?
Pretty
close, I think.
Pretty close.
You get it.
You get it closer.
You get it closer.
Yeah, the 509, right.
It was nice to see you, Jim.
At the track, it was nice to see your family, introduce your family to me.
It was nice stopping by and say hi to me.
You bet.
That was fun to see you.
And like I said, it was so nice to have you there as something different than a lot of the food trucks that were there.
So I just, yeah, thanks for coming.
I know there's an effort on your part.
Reggie, you're
good people.
Yeah, you are.
And I'll
tell you what, our man Todd here is your biggest fan.
Let's keep it rocking.
And I swear next time we get together, I'm having some ox tail.
Oh, yeah.
We love you, Ted.
All right.
See
ya.
See ya, man.
Take care, Rach.
See ya.
Ready to smile.
Area 509 in Abton.
Man, great guy.
Great food.
I can't wait.
I've been waiting for this for a while because I went to the party last year.
It was so nice and the music and people were just, it's like sitting in your backyard, just having some drinks.
And I like that
he said, it's funny though, it's going to be in the 60s, we're going to have the fire pits going.
But you know what I mean?
To them, it's like
the 60s where he gets the fires going.
But he also, that cultures.
fun, like relaxing.
And he says people are going to be dancing.
Like sometimes you don't, when you go to the stadium, you don't really think of dancing.
You know, where's, where's, that was one of his top things is people be dancing the fire pit.
That is a cool environment there.
And he bring, he brought it here.
I mean,
yeah, we hope he has tremendous success.
Very hands-on.
Oh, yeah.
We built
his own truck, right?
Not only that, but getting ready for this party, he's putting down new pavers and all that in the backyard is like, you know, there's an entrepreneur that rolls up his sleeves.
That's
right.
Well, and it goes back to like he said with his mom where she said, we don't have money to buy, you know, good food or whatever.
We got to create our own things and learn.
And
that's
what they
did.
That's wonderful.
Awesome.
Awesome.
Awesome.
Awesome.
He's almost like the Haitian version of me.
So I wanted
to give you guys this thought process.
Yeah.
Channel 2, Bill Jarts is retiring.
Yes.
They're doing this cool thing where you can send videos to say goodbye to Bill.
Yeah.
So I'm thinking we've got Dan in the studio today.
Yeah.
Right?
He's got a keyboard.
Coming up in a couple of minutes.
He's
got a keyboard.
Yes.
We
got Dennis Peters.
Yes.
We've got
Jim and John.
Yes.

say after the show, we put together a little video and we send it over to Channel 2.
Awesome.
I'm in.
What do you
think?
Do
you want me to sing or
anything?
Well, we're, you know,
happy
retirement.
Dan had a good
point earlier.
Happy retirement.
Because there's
only so many words that rhyme with Jarts.
So we'll have to come up with
something.
Oh, yeah.
That is a really good point.
I don't know.
I think Dennis has it figured out Dennis
says
I think Dennis has
a thumbs down Okay, man, folks if you've been with us this long you got to stay with us because we've got Dennis in the glam band coming on We got Dan Rafferty who's legendary as well Got a fun way to end the week.

Got to say
big thanks to Dan.
Here's why, because we had another guest scheduled, okay?

So we put a post out on social media, hey, if you can help us out, Dan was right there immediately.
That ain't a bad feeling, I'll tell you that.
Well, I'm having the morning off didn't hurt either.
Convenient,
yeah.
Hello!
How are you, buddy?
Busy,
but good, yes.
I know, man.
I'm here in that.
Tell everybody who you are, what you're doing, go ahead.
Yeah, I'm with
New Dooling Pianos.
We've been around for about eight years, play all over Wisconsin, do about 120 shows, request-based shows that I do, whether they're indoor, outdoor, private events, all that good stuff.
So we've been having a ton of fun with that.
Can you imagine what that's like?
Yeah, I was going to say, how...
I always think, you know, you talk about these actors like Saturday Night Live, they start with the improv.
I would think that is so much pressure in some ways, but you guys cool, right?
Well, it's just you learn to not care after a while.
I hate
to say it
because, right, they can't do half the stuff or whatever it is.
And it's the people that just aren't willing to put themselves out there and you just give it a shot.
It's like water skiing.
You fall off, but hopefully you have your, uh, your best.
It's gotta stand
up.
It's gotta stand up.
That's how it is.
Really?
Get Uncle Joe to teach how to do it.
Cause you heard that that's the one sport I failed miserably, right?
That was the one.
That's the one.
That's not what I heard.
And then I saw.
Wow.
Got another quick thing here.
Speaking of rock and the smiling moose in Newton will be rocking this Sunday with Reverend Raven and the chain smoking altar boys.
If you've never seen the legend that is Reverend Raven and the chain smoking.
You have to you have to see them.
They're just amazing It's a they're
a better than the smiling moves.
You should go out there.
Absolutely a cool cool spot, Wisconsin Yeah,
Manitoba County has cool little towns with like you wouldn't realize what have like what's I always talked about it the theater It's like one of the most famous theaters.
Yeah
Tish Mills.
Yes, that's you know, these
tiny little towns that have it's like you can tell when these communities started It's like, okay, we need
and entertainment place, and they...
But it's more than that community, because that community couldn't support it.
I mean, they had trying people in from other municipalities.
It's some of the best kept secrets in the whole state of Wisconsin,
along
the lakeshore.
There's so much to see.
Hey, Dan, I've seen you guys a number of times.
You don't get stumped too often.
Not too often, but that's not really the objective.
I know it's not, but it's something that comes up to you.
That was way off.
I don't know.
It gives you confidence back.
I've never seen people come up and ask you some of the weirdest songs.
They do.
They do.
But
if there's anybody who could stump me, I guarantee he's like, hey, you know that old hit from...
Who me?
Here we go.
Yes, you.
Absolutely.
Remember that one song?
There it is.
There we go.
It goes a little bit
like this.
Yeah, a little bit
of it.
Let's be a seagull from Engelber Humperdink, 1973.
That's right.
It was a good one.
You should know what
everybody knows.
Just go ahead and jump into that.
That's fine.
I'd be like a Billy Joel song.
The old man making love to his tonic and gin.
Play me
a song.
Don't know that one.
I'm sensing sarcasm.
That's the
number one request.
It's right up there, what's their way to heaven, right?
That's right.
And
some song called Don't Stop Something,
whatever
it
is.
Don't stop.
Well, let's see.
Don't stop.
Thinking about tomorrow.
That's what we do.
That's it.
That's the one.
So where are you playing this week, Dennis?
You said it's quiet down
a little bit, huh?
Yeah, the month of May is not so bad.
We're doing a private show for Showcase Kitchens this evening.
I think I can say that without getting sued.
And yeah.
And then next Wednesday, we're at the Bud Pavilion down at the State Fair Park.
They're opening up the Bud Pavilion at State Fair Park.
It's a music series all summer long.
Do you
ever have a Fright Snicker Bar when you go there?
Oh, I was thinking about it.
You know
how I
want
one.
Well, they're
doing
something
there every Wednesday.
every Wednesday for the season.
Yes, May through September.
Yeah, it's fantastic.
That's awesome.
It's unbelievable.
You should see it's unbelievable how many people come there and make a thing out of it.
People love to go out to those events and look at Madison's picking up now at Camp Randall, you know, and Wednesday's the new Friday down there.
Pardon me.
Wednesday's the new Friday
down there.
Yeah, absolutely.
I hope we do more of that here because I just people
love
music.
Yeah, but you can does their thing in Wednesday
during the
season.
What have you got that
one coming up to pretty
quick?
Yes, indeed.
There are a bunch of times.
Dan, it seems like you do a lot of charity things, or maybe I see you a charity thing.
Here and there, it's ironic you brought that up because
you have
two fundraisers tonight
that we're doing.
We
have two different shows, we have two sets of equipment, we got four guys playing tonight, we're gonna be over at the Stonewood, being able to work with the people you guys met with yesterday.
It's the
Jabasco Green Bay Area
Sports Organization.
They have glitter and gold event going on out
there, it's gonna be fun.
To raise money for the skating park.
Exactly.
Besides being a great skating park, it's really good for kids' confidence, for getting along with each other, respecting each other.
That's just a nice venue for these kids to go.
It's
yet another way to connect with youth to be able to help
them
through tough times or whatever
it is,
absolutely.
And then our second one is out in Pulaski at Assumption Parish, being able
to
take down the barn at Sunset Acres.
I don't know if you've been there yet.
No, what a willing to learn.
That's a
very cool, cool facility, brand new venue.
It's neat, it's
fun.
Oh,
that's fun.
You mentioned the word gold, by the way.
Yes,
glitter and gold.
That's going to be at
The Snowwood.
Gold is gold is the word of the morning, isn't it?
Yeah, we
already get rid of the tickets.
Yeah
You guys are popular around
here.
Pacific media, tell you what, they're
high
on
employees.
They're on top of it.
They're dumb.
I
agree.
And their employees spilled their coffee all over everything.
I was nervous.
Okay, true story.
I blew out a mixer one time
because my
intern knocked over my Diet Coke.
I was worried when Dan wasn't getting sound out of his thing.
Oh, no, did I?
Blow out
something.
We were
testing it.
I
don't know.
I don't even know if it's coming through.
We haven't tried it too much.
Is it working,
Todd?
Give it a try.
What is there?
Sure enough.
It's alive.
It's alive.
It
works.
All right.
I'll tell you what.
We got Dan Rafery.
We got Dennis Peters.
We got two of the greatest musicians you ever find.
It's enough for me and Jim talking about it.
When we come back, we're going to hear a little something, something.
Sure.
All right.
Dan Rafery, Dennis Peters.
Minor the mayor, back after
us.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's a beautiful day today.
And we got two beautiful gentlemen in the house.
Yes, I'm talking about it.
Beautiful.
Mine on the mirror, the beautiful.
There they are.
Look at them.
Look at them.
They're beautiful people.
Now,
we, now we, you know, when we got two unbelievably talented human beings like this within an arms reach here, Jim and I don't need to say anything.
We're going to let you guys handle it.
But one of the things we want to do, Dan, is
Yeah, I mean, if you guys, uh, our show is all request based.
So if you guys want a little sampling of that, feel free and throw in a couple of songs that you guys, yeah, text it on in.
I'll see if I know them, play a little bit of them.
We'll make Dennis sing the whole time.
It'll be fun.
No, we'll have, we'll have a good
time.
All right.
So yeah, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me,
me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me,
me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me,
me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me
And saying, it was one of my favorite songs when I was 11 years old.
You remember that one, don't
you?
Tom T. Hall, I like beer.
That makes
me a jolly
good fellow.
Can I tell you
something?
Yesterday when I was just in my apartment cleaning or doing whatever I do up there, OK?
I downloaded Tom T. Hall's Greased Hits.

Nice.
Oh, but an invert my pedal.
Do
you mind if we dance with y'all dates?
You want me to dance with y'all dates?
Dates is a fruit, by the way.
Nothing's worse than when you invert your pedal.
I know.
I mean, I've had to see a doctor about that.
I know.
It's
bad.
I had a bike accident.
Dr. Shrinker, right?
Dr.
Shrinker?
That used to be a TV show.
Dr. Vinnie Boombats.
Oh my gosh.
That's good enough, that'll work, that's fine.
Anything come in yet?
Probably
not.
But in the
meantime, that's fine, I got
John.
What is John like?
You like Johnny Cash, I
know that.
That's
right, you like
that.
Nice.
I love the helmet on that.
I know, right?
That is awesome.
There you go.

After the Gold
Rush.
Neil Young.
After the Gold Rush by Neil Young.
Holy snikes.
That's what I'm saying.
John requested this song.
I got another
one here.
We just disagreed.
There
you go.
Great song.
Who is that one by?
Dave
Bates.
That's right.
He's from Manitowoc, isn't he?
It's Winslow's
bar.
That's right.
I meant that he used to play with the drummer from...
Happy schnapps combo?
Is that what it was?
Yeah.
That's his brother.
Did he write the song?
Yeah.
He wrote that song.
Yeah.
He didn't invite me all the fame by the
way.
It ain't just you, babe.
It ain't just me, babe.
It's only you and me, and we just disagree.
That's right.
There is, nobody knows how the verses goes.
They all want to hear about that.
It's just you and me, and we just disagree.
Now it sounds like a TV show that's right.
That's right.
What else you got anything else

But you guys, I was thinking,
but I didn't say it.
Thank you, Todd.
Wow.
You spill one cup of coffee over the new equipment.
I suppose you can say
anything on your last day,
whatever it's about.
How do you guys perform so often and not hurt your voices?
Wow.
Because you guys are two of the busiest guys I've ever seen ever.

A slippery elm bark is one of the main ingredients in that.
There's a thing called

It's an eyedrop.
It's a drop that you put into a small little thing of water.
You drink that and that's supposed to help too.
That
makes no sense.
There's no iron drop.
I think that's a good point.
Thank you.
I
don't know.
We got another request for you.
Joan
Jett.
I love rock
and
roll.
Joan Jett.
Heading down by the wrecking machine,

There's no another one come crocodile rock rock rock rock all right the Crocodile I love rock and roll right sorry this guy
Yeah, that's I could ask you how you learn after done.
It's like a idiot savant thing
Was it since you're a little kid you just sat down like Elton John, right?
Yep, exactly exactly how it
was.
We had a
piano
at
the house.
There's no iron savant
There is no iron savant.
There is no iron drop either.
This
must have been quite
the chick magnet, though.
So I took lessons when I was like single digits, five, six, seven, whatever it was.
And then I knew enough to be dangerous.
And I was born in seven to three.
And by the time the 80s, the early 80s rolled around, that was a lot of the rock bands, the rock ballads that came out, but then also Billy Joel and Elton John and all the other ones that came out.
But there was a lot of keyboard, a lot of piano that was being
played.
And it was funny, because the people with the girls would show up and they'd say, you don't happen to know that song.
And you're like, I think.
Aw man, see?
Or it sticks, for example, you know.
Babe, I'm leaving.
There you go.
Cartman?
Yeah, that's
right.
Which
is a good
deer voice to ever do that.
This is a little savant
thing, though, because you only took lessons for three years.
No,
for like a year and a half.
Yeah, all the Rafferty kids had to take lessons.
It just took with me and then we got the scales where you're doing, you know.
Yeah, that's when I said that's enough.
I don't need to do that anymore, but I knew enough to be dangerous, right?
Wow.
Yeah, I just What a gift.
Yeah, but if there's other people out there would have that gift give me a call
I don't need to
work this much That's right why not we need people that are Energetic and they don't have to be the best singers because I certainly am not you have to be the best piano player because I certainly am not but you put it all together and Make it entertaining and there you go, and I'm happy to teach and help anybody that wants to do that
and they can join the dueling
Yeah, well, you could be one of the guys.
Absolutely.
Yeah, just to find us at New Dueling Pianos, the phone number on there goes right to my cell phone.
Now my phone's going to blow
up.
Everybody
not wanting to be in, but whatever.
But have fun with that.
We play all over.
You don't have to do every show.
You just do some here and there.
Social
media then new new delinquent facebook and all that other
facebook and the gram we tried snapchat I couldn't figure it out tick tock not a chance
so It's like a six second thing though.
It's snapchat.

don't
get it.
It's like 10 second Tom That's and there's no I and Tom by the way.
That's no I

more texts.
Old Time Rock and Roll, Heart and Soul, and Piano Man.
Piano Man, don't know that one.
Yeah, Piano Man, Old Time Rock and Roll, and Heart and Soul.
Which Heart and Soul are you talking about?
I don't know.
With a little bit of heart and soul.
There's one.
With
a little bit of love to grow.
To pow.
Look at you breaking up the artist.
Good for you.
To pow.
I can't be loved but wait for more.
Sometimes I need to know.
With a little bit of heart and soul, yeah,
I was done.
But that's skill on loan from God, by the way.
And by the way, there is no I in God.
No.
But you are.
You are, you know, God in you.
I.
God
is in you.
Sure.
God is in you.
Yeah.
God is in you.
I think
we're stretching
that one
a little too far.
Yeah, a little
too far, but we'll go right back to, let's see, old time rock
and roll.
Old time rock and roll.
Take
those
old records off the shelves.
I sit and listen to them by myself.
Today's music ain't got the same soul.
Just like that old-timer rock and roll Don't try to take me to a disco You'll never even get me out on the floor In five minutes I'll be late for
the door With that old-timer rock and roll They got piano men up there too, right?
It's almost nine o'clock on a Friday, right?
A bunch of old guys sitting around here watching the clock drinking a
beer till the end of
the day till when they can go out and go grab a beer.

No.
Just feel the
parking meter.
Keep plugging the meter, right?
Sing us a song, you're
the piano man.

We normally sing 12 hours later than this, don't we?
It's not like eight in the morning.
It's normally eight at night.
We're doing these things,
right?
It is
early for this
type of
stuff.
So
you got the music, all the words.
You don't have a phone in front of you.
You're reading that too.
We sometimes break out the phones because we got to look up the second verse because people will tip us and they tip us enough that they earn the second.
Okay, we got we have to tell us like you we got to get one that you guys can combine on.
Combine on.
Ebony and Ivory.
Ebony

There it is.
I need a beatbox.
So yeah, literally that's not how our shows go normally, but it's it's all those songs just delivered in different ways,
but they're not Totally dissimilar to that.
Your shows are high energy.
They're funny.
Yep.
It's
very ADD
for sure.
It is
whatever that spells.
Yeah,
come see us We're gonna be actually right on the on the city deck coming up on June 20th.
Yes
Yep, we'll be in competition with the glam band who will be out at the Howard Commons that exact same day So you can see half both of us
or
half of us or one of
us or whatever.
When do you play it?
When do you start playing?
It's always six to nine.
Yeah, I know.
It's literally head

But that's all right, so nobody should
be in their house.
Yeah.
He's hit the heart comments
and you're

Yeah.
And then now we're playing at the Green Bay Rockers games again this year.
A lot of fun.
So on Thursday nights, they have half.

They have half price beers till the mid fifth inning.
And we're there an hour before the show and everything else like that.

We'll be there for Thursday, Thursday,
Thursday.
Oh yeah.
Okay.
We got one minute.
You guys got to play it out because send a quick break.
Then we're back with more.
This is unbelievable.
It's just fun just sitting back right here and watching you guys do your thing.
You guys would have the greatest radio show in the market if you guys did this every day.
Dan Rafferty, Dennis Peters, of course, from the Glam Band to the great vocalist in the state of Wisconsin.
Give us a little something on the way, a little bumper music on the way out.
I hear the train are coming.
It's coming around the bend.
No one knows the rest of this part that they don't know when we're going to fall some prison Just to hang around
Someone's got to do it That's right
Because we don't know when we're leaving And that's a long time now
Welcome back mind on the mayor our favorite part of the week and two of the greatest entertainers you'll ever have rights here in front of you Dennis Peters and Dan Rafferty
and Dan has got to be also just so you know one of the most swell people you'll ever know I mean he's he's so well-rounded knows a lot about a lot of things football football coach yeah you know how to act in public I don't have to
act in public
I haven't figured that one out yet
spend some time together Dennis
well it must be
love
but seriously one must be one of the great people around and and that's one thing above
why we're blessed in this area too.
There's so many great musicians, but great people first.
And there are so many
of them.
You see, you play for such a variety.
I mean, you play for thousands and thousands of people because I've seen you.
Yes.
And you also play for...
smaller groups.
Absolutely.
So the different types of shows that we do, sure you'll see us at like City Deck or at big venues like Waverly Beach down in Minasher
or all over the
state.
But no, we do a lot of private events.
And then between Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day, that's corporate party season.
Yes.
We're already getting booked for corporate parties.
And right, like I said, we have two different trailers so we can do two shows in the same night.
And it's because we're in such demand
over that winter time frame that, well, you gotta have you on a Friday and a Saturday.
Well, those get booked up really quick.
But no, those corporate events, New Year's Eve, oh yeah.
Private events, we'd be doing somebody's backyard, just have a blast, you bet.
And I know you're bothered by the heat, so you closed the shades.
We
didn't close the
shades.
And
Dennis's dog
just reopened up.
That's nice.
Oh, that's a dignity dog, by the way.
That's my boy.
I picked him up in August.
You know the story the story is you know dogs don't you don't see if dogs dogs save you yes I'm telling you this is an example of the horrible dog.
Can you
do hound dog?
All
right You ain't nothing but a hound a big wrong key You ain't nothing but a hound dog Crying all the time You
ain't
nothing but a hound dog Crying all the time the ears are all perked up.
Oh,

How about a squirrel?
Well, that was just a lie.
But you ain't that little squirrel.
And that squirrel's gonna die.
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit.
You ain't no friend of mine.
We got
another request here, Bad Badly Roy Brown.
There you go.
On the south side of Chicago.
Well, it's the baddest part of town.
I should know I was born in the south side of Chicago way back in the day.
Well, if you go down there, you know you must be here.
Awesome.
Your dog is doing
something inappropriate for a professional studio.
If we did that, we'd be kicked off the air.
He'd tell
me everything I know.
If I was able to do that, I would never leave the house.
Man named Leeroy Brown.
Now he would.
Is this one of those
really
piano shows for mature
audiences
now?
Yeah, they are.
They can be.
And
immature dogs.
Here's our opening act, right?
That's a good name for a band.
Everybody in there gets their phones out.
In the other room, we got one here.
Mino and Jim just both grabbed their phones too.
Now Friday, about a week ago, Willow Leroy was shooting dice.
And at the edge of the bar, said a girl, her name was Doris.
Well, they cast their eyes upon him.
That's when the trouble soon began.
Well, old Leroy Brownie learned a lesson about messing with the wife of a jealous man.
Because he's bad.
Bad who?
Leroy Brown.
That's right.
Baddest man in the whole downtown.
Badder than old King Kong.
Meaner than a junkyard dog.
That's right.
Because then the two men, they took to fighting.
And when they pulled them from the floor Well,
oh
Leroy Brown, he looked like a jigsaw puzzle With a couple of pieces gone Cause he's bad Bad, bad who?
Who is it Jim?
I'll Leroy
Brown That's
right I'll scream something, I'm sorry Oh my god, that was good
That was unbelievable That was awesome
That was one of the greatest two-minute segments of our show.
That's what she said.
That
was
great.
It's up top.
Other
than Dennis's dog doing something.
That's right.
He's a poser just like his daddy.
He's not shy.
I love the fact that right in you got that done, left the room.
Perfect.
He's a
poser just like his daddy.
That's my boy.
This is so awesome.
Dan Rafferty doing pianos.
Dennis Peters, of course, from the glam band.
And I know Dan, we mentioned at the very beginning, and he
Poo Poo's it, but the Whammies is a pretty cool
thing.
It's not
that man and
his
group,
huh?
They took they took the Grammys this year the glam band and Dennis and all his buddies took they
47 different awards.
139
awards.
They got 3,718 awards.
We
knew of, I think of six, but there were eight that we were nominated for.
We won seven of eight.
That's incredible.
That is,
that is unheard of.
But it's not about, it's not about talent.
It's about popularity and people, you know, come out to see us and that's, that's where it is.
It's the people, it's the people that we need to thank for
that.
A hundred percent, a hundred percent.
And the, the glam band followers, they break out new Cousins.
The world shows up.
It's amazing.
They are, they are a glamily.
They are truly a family.
I like
that.
That's
nice.
That's a good one.
One
quick
thing between both of you guys, like this upcoming summer, we talked about some of these great little venues.
Yes.
And I'm not going to say what's your favorite because you're always say the next one or whatever
like that.
But
is this, is this for you guys like almost getting ready for the NFL season type thing where it's like, okay,
here it goes.
Right.
This is, this is it.
This is like opening week, it feels like.
Yeah.
For you, you
guys do more of your events that are outdoors with the big productions where thousands show up.
We tend to be more effective indoors, but it doesn't matter, right?
We'll still.
We're both doing the Shipwrecking County Fair.
Yep.
We both have a couple of different
larger events.
Escanaba
later.
And we will be at the Howard Commons too, coming up over Labor Day weekend.
Oh, that's gonna be great.
We're gonna make sure not to be opposite of you again that
time
too.
I told you when I was up in the UP last summer, and you guys are both playing Escanaba, every other ad you heard on the radio for a week straight, don't talk Escanaba is going to rock with the legendary glad man.
Legendary dueling pianos.
I mean that was so huge after you can't believe it.

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 on a foggy Thursday morning here in downtown Green Bay, Apton, Oshkosh.
And I'll point managed walk every place really foggy out there.
Please be very careful.
You
actually had something happen to you this morning that just let people know.
The issues with cellcom service.
Yeah.
The phones are down.
That's why you could not call me this morning.
And I just got notification on that from another source.
So
cellcom is down.
So it's not my phone.
It's not your phone.
So it's
not
from not paying the bill.
No.
No.
And
it's not you, John.
That's
all right.
That's what we want to do.
I thought I got hacked or
something.
All
right.
What
does that mean to get hacked?
I have no idea.
When somebody breaks in and they take all your information.
I'm trying to.
Hey, I'm from the Ghani.
I don't know.
No, that's going to be a tough day on cellcom.
Holy cow.
Oh, I guess.
Well, we've got a very special guest.
Jeff, are you there, buddy?
I'm here.
Jeff Olson, live from Ishpenning.
Yep.
OK, buddy.
All right.
Hey, Jeff Olson, I'm going to give a little background.
Jeff is a legendary high school football and basketball coach.
Three state championships.
I think three runners up.
um just unbelievable what he did with the ish brimming hematites and had a son who was just an amazing athlete in fact my brother-in-law was his coach at st.
Norbert and jeff i'm just gonna let you take it from there in in in regards to what got you here today what you're doing right now and what you've pretty much devoted the rest of your your life to so coach jeff olson from ish brimming michigan jeff go ahead and take it away in regards to do it for daniel program buddy
Sure.
You know, I've been coaching for, well, I'm retired now, but coached for 37 years, 27 at Ishpermin.
Had some good teams.
My son grew up, my son Daniel grew up in our program, bringing them to practice as a kindergartner.
You know, really a great athlete.
I always say this, pretty much an all-American kid.
Tons of friends, girlfriends.
um good at pretty much everything he did he was an all-state you know an all-state quarterback at he was only five eight hundred and sixty five pounds but he he still was an all-state quarterback in basketball he was a conference defensive player of the year hey hey hey hey jeff
hey jeff i could just interject every athlete in the u p is five eight hundred and sixty pounds let's be
honest you're not kidding there you're not kidding there so yeah and uh
You know, he led us to the state championship game in 2010.
I believe that was his senior year You know and his big dream was it was never about him, you know, he just wanted to win he wanted me to win a state championship but he Struggled with anxiety and depression and he actually wrote a paper When he was senior in high school that he thought he started to feel different in sixth grade and actually my wife and I
noticed some things were off in sixth grade, but he did what so many people do.
He fought it on his own in silence for five years until the spring of his junior year in high school.
And that's the first time he came to us, asked for help.
He was suicidal at the time.
Come to find out later on that two years before that as a freshman, he was
extremely close to taking his life.
Had it all planned out, had everything set up.
The only reason he didn't do it was grandma was in the other room.
But anyways, he came to us, asked for help as a junior in high school, fought it for three more years, had a couple suicide attempts in between there.
We got him help, but he...
You know, there's such a huge stigma involved with anxiety and depression that people are going to think you're crazy or you're weak.
You can't handle everyday life or just suck it up.
Or maybe you're faking something and it's farther from the truth.
So with all that stigma involved, and you're talking probably when he was getting help, 2008, 2009, 2010.
You know, the help didn't make sense to him.
It wasn't a quick fix.
So he didn't do everything he was supposed to do, you know, as far as taking his medications, as far as therapy.
Therapy didn't make sense to him.
Like I said, it wasn't a quick fix.
So anyways, fast forward to his senior year, got us to the state championship game.
We lost that game.
He ended up going to St.
Norbert.
to play college football, thinking he might, you know, a change of venue, change of scenery might help him.
It didn't.
He was having multiple panic attacks a day.
He ended up having to drop out of school after middle of his, middle of his second year there and came home.
Ultimate, not a job, but ultimately the anxiety and depression was too much for him.
And he ended up taking his life at one month before his 20th birthday.
And obviously tough on us, tough on our family.
But I felt the need, and my wife and I felt the need to speak up and not hide this.
And we decided two days after he passed away at the funeral home, you're trying to write as a bituary that we were going to put this out in the open, talk about it.
And in hopes of educating people so they didn't have to go through it, my son Daniel went through.
So loved ones, parents, family members don't have to go through it.
Our family went through.
So what happened was, when Daniel played in the state championship game,
There was it was down in Detroit Somebody on the video That was filming the game for for Fox Fox Sports Remembered that game was captivated by the story in 2012 because we went down in 2012 that actually Daniel took his life He was going to when he when he gave up st.
Norbert football.
He was going to be an assistant coach with us
He actually worked with the kids and then two weeks or a week and a half before the season started.
That's what he took his life.
So it was kind of a dedication.
The team dedicated the season to Daniel to us, our family.
We had a good team, not a great team, but we ended up kind of overachieving, went down, won the state championship that year.
Kind of like I said earlier, that was kind of Daniel's dream for me to win one.
One guy that was filming on the video camera was captivated by the story.
His daughter was suffering at the time, so him and his wife had never done it before, but they wanted to make a documentary about Daniel's life.
They came up, talked to us about it.
My wife wasn't on board at the time, but they came up, kind of convinced us, kind of convinced her.
So, you know, the number one reason she didn't want her son
out there for people to judge.
And when we kind of put all our trust in them, they made a documentary, Daniel's Life.
And so when we had that documentary, he also made a Facebook page, do it for Daniel Facebook page.
People started calling schools, mainly communities, to see if I would go speak and talk about suicide prevention, mental health.
anxiety and depression.
So seven years ago I decided to do that and I've been doing that ever since, been to many schools around the Midwest and sharing Daniel's story but also speaking along with it to try to educate people about what this is, what it feels like to have it.
what the symptoms are because you know when i've been traveling and you talk to people who are struggling and even now you know it's hard for them to put in the words because it's you know it's mental you know it's mental pain and it's hard for them to put in the words so we want to give give people words to say to come forward confidence to come forward um to show that this is is a very common illness um it's treatable
And there's no shame in coming forward.
So that's where we are.
Man, I'm really feel bad for you.
I don't have to say 19 year old.
It sounds to me, though, a couple of things you said, it sounds like you did a lot.
I mean, you did a lot.
I think sometimes people are like, I wish I would have done something.
Get
over at whatever.
You just didn't.
You guys had that empathy.
I want you to just talk about that a little bit.
And then I want you mentioned that in sixth grade, you saw signs.
Like, what were those signs?
Well,
Irritable, couldn't handle things that were going wrong with him.
Just not being him.
One of the symptoms is you're just not yourself and that's hard for people to understand.
So there were some things that he couldn't handle and he would just get really upset or really withdrawn.
Also, um, so those are types of things.
Well, what's going on?
He wouldn't talk, you know, he's not, he's not his normal outgoing self at times.
So, you know, we were wondering, um, you know, well, what's going on?
And, um, you know, then all of a sudden it seemed like he'd be back to himself and then it would just kind of be the ups and downs and, um, really came to a head is his freshman year in high school.
Um, and then he came forward in.
is junior year so that's the big thing you know when when you talk about mental illness or you know it's we I don't like the term because that's where the the stigma is really attached to it it's a medical illness of the brain and there's actual physical things that are happening in your brain connections are off thoughts aren't getting in the part of your brain where they need to there's deficiencies in your brain so we really need to call it
what it is.
It's a medical illness of the brain.
And, you know, that's the hard part about that.
And everybody's is different, you know, and the brain is so volatile.
There's so many things involved that, you know, when I go around and speak, you know, every once in a while, you'll get somebody, well, you know, because the message is this is treatable and it is treatable.
And they're saying, well, you did everything.
How come it wasn't treatable for Daniel?
And, you know, there's a couple things involved.
Well, Daniel didn't do everything he was supposed to because it didn't make sense to him.
The stigma was there.
So he didn't do therapy very well.
He was supposed to do some homework and he didn't do it.
Some of the medications, you know, sometimes the medications don't work because there's so many medications out there.
Everybody's is different.
So, you know, our message is, you know, if after two, if you get put on a medication after two or three weeks, you're not feeling better or the same.
You got to go back and say, I don't think this is working.
This is the way I'm feeling because you would with any other illness.
And I, and I always use the analogy of my knee.
I hurt my knee jogging.
I went and they manipulated said, oh, you have a slightly torporous meniscus.
give it two or three weeks.
I gave it a month, went back to the doctor, could describe the pain.
He gave me a cortisone shot a month later.
I went back because I still had pain.
He did minor surgery, cleaned it up, was supposed to be taken care of.
I kept, I went back again.
I knew I wasn't going to get judged.
I could describe where the pain was, you know, what I could do, what I couldn't do.
Went back another cortisone shot, month and a half later went back again.
was able to describe it.
Knew I wasn't going to get judged.
They did a partial knee replacement and I'm pain free.
My point is I kept going back because I knew I could describe where the pain was.
I knew I wasn't going to get judged.
I knew this was real.
When you have a medical illness of the brain, that's hard to do.
Where
would Jeff Olson
unbelievably successful high school football coach who locked away from that to spread a message that is so important.
And it is mental health month that we've been talking about that a bunch, but we really need to also concentrate on the young people.
You know, because our era, let's be honest, Jeff, the UP, our dads are remembering, get over it.
What the
hell's wrong with you?
Get over it.
What do you got
to complain about?
Jeff Sticker, I'll get center one minute break back with more Jeff Olson.
Do it for Daniel program.
folks, please look this up.
Look it up.
We'll be back with more with Coach Olson right after this.
Hey, welcome back, Mino the Mayor here on a Thursday morning, Green Bay Alpton and Oshkosh were with Jeff Olson, legendary coach from Ishpeming, Michigan, who is devoting his life right now to talk to young people about mental health.
His son, Daniel, is an unbelievable athlete, unbelievable student, everything you would ask for and the mental illness.
As you mentioned, it's an illness, it's not a condition, it's an actual
Illness absolutely took his life Jeff is devoting his life to try to help others where this doesn't happen anxiety all the different things and again You know you talk about kids that are you know?
Oh, that's poor kid in school.
He didn't have many friends or he's bullied or whatever.
This was the all-American boy.
This was the all-American boy.
And if that can affect somebody like that, so Jeff, it's awesome what you do and people need to see the video, do it for Daniel.
Jim's got about 20, we only got like seven minutes left and Jim's got 162 questions for you.
So we'll just start with
the basics.
Go ahead.
You talked about the documentary and, you know, are you pleased with it?
Does it get the message out you wanted to and how can people look at that?
Tell me your first-hand
experience.
Well, I love the documentary and people have to understand this wasn't made.
This was Daniel's story.
It wasn't made as an educational tool.
So that's why I speak when I show it and kind of explain some things and try to get people to understand what this is, what it feels like to have it, what you can do.
Then you show the documentary and it gets people captivated.
But it's a long presentation, so what we've done too is there's two ways I can do it.
I can speak, show the documentary, speak again after that, and that's an hour and 40 minutes long, or I've made 14 minutes of clips of the documentary so I can speak and show the 14 minutes of clips, and that's a 50 minute long documentary.
But the great thing about this documentary for us, for me, is
You know, we get to see Daniel's face.
We get to be, people are talking about him.
You know, and it's, it's, you know, he's not here, but at least we can see him.
People are, people are talking about him and that's healing.
And this is kind of, you know, me doing this is kind of therapeutic for me.
It doesn't have to, doesn't have anything to do with how strong you are.
This is kind of my therapy.
Being able to help people, get people to understand.
through Daniel because one of the things Daniel said in confidence to his girlfriend is, no matter what he did, no matter what he would say, nobody's ever going to be able to understand what he's going through.
So I feel like I'm Daniel's voice to get people to understand what he couldn't.
And that's that this is a very common medical illness that's very treatable.
Yeah.
And I want to just talk about that for a second too.
You said the stigma of it, you know, and you think that's getting better, you getting out there and talking.
And I think this has talked about a little bit more, maybe not enough, but our kids getting more comfortable.
Going and talking to people because we talk about China I talk about this all the time Physical health you're in the doctor right away mental health.
You just stay at home.
It's like, well, we'll see a doctor They're out there and your insurance will probably cover it too.
So it's But so I want you to ask about I want you to comment on how you get a kid to go see somebody You know and then the other thing is that you said he didn't really do his homework.
Tell me how it can help people do their homework, I guess
Well, the key word for me is understanding.
People have to understand, not just the person struggling, but the people around them, what this is, what it feels like to have it, so they can come forward and say...
You know what?
I don't feel like myself anymore.
Well, what does that mean?
Well, I can't laugh anymore.
You guys are cracking jokes.
I know it's supposed to be funny.
I can't feel that.
Or I'm sad all the time.
Well, how can you be sad all the time?
You have this going on, that going on.
You're a four point student, best athlete in the county.
You can build a engine with your bare hands.
How can you be sad?
I don't know.
I have these negative thoughts.
I can't get out of my head, or I have this constant doom and gloom attitude that bad things are going to happen to me and my family.
Common response.
Snap out of it.
Well, you can't snap out of a medical illness, and if the connections are off in your brain, you can't snap out of that.
So, you know, I'm worthless, you know, and you could be very successful, but you still feel worthless.
Those are all symptoms.
So we want to give people the words to say, but we also want to give them the confidence to come forward.
Um, and know that they're not going to be judged.
Know that when they say that, people are going to take them serious and that it's real.
And in response to your initial question, it is getting better.
But I say this, it's moving as at a snail's pace, you know, coming forward and
go ahead.
If we don't get a chance to see you, do you have a website that you're comfortable with or do you have?
I just think parents.
parents nobody knows their kid better than their parents if they're seeing these signs and you want to help us we don't know how where do you go where do they go get some information support group
well we have two we have do it for daniel dot com page that tells uh that set talks about our mission um shows um a trailer of our documentary but if you go to the do it for daniel dot com page read the testimonials and kind of see what other people are saying about the presentation it's always
how it's helped them.
We also have a Do It For Daniel Facebook page.
And a lot of people, that's how I get to go where I'm going to present because people message that page.
And then they get the information to me, I call them and go.
So there's a lot of information posted on the Do It For Daniel Facebook page.
And then to see our mission is to do it for Daniel.com page.
Do you come to Green Bay Area at all or Appleton at all?
Yeah, I've been I've been there.
I've been into peers at the theater there.
I did a presentation, community presentation.
So, you know, I go all over.
Outstanding.
Hey, Jeff, this is this is awesome.
It's it's heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time.
And it
really truly is.
And it would have been so much easier for you to just say
Horrible tragedy.
I'm just gonna move on yada yada yada Instead you were devoted your life right now to try to prevent people from being in the situation that you and your family You don't find yourself in or found yourself in your saving lives by doing this and I'm not even I'm not trying to be melodramatic But you're saving lives Jeff.
There's not a question about that
Yeah, thank you.
I appreciate that.
Well, thank you so much, Jeff.
He felt the good work.
Yeah, I get it too.
You're going to have people around here contacting you.
And if you ever come down this area, please give me a call.
Give us a call.
We'd love to have you in the studio or have a cold beverage with you sometime.
That'd be
perfect.
All right, my friend, Jeff Olsen in Spring, Michigan.
Do it for Daniel.
Please check it out, people.
Very, very important thing.
Jeff, thanks so much for taking the time, my friend.
Yeah, thanks for having me guys.
Thank you, buddy.
Take care.
See you.
We're gonna set her a quick break.
Bet in the animal core.
Moving to the male cars.
Coming up next.
If you missed part of the show or want to share it with a friend to catch every episode of Mino and the Mayor on your schedule, listen now at CivicMedia.us or find us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
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.
Hey, thank you very much.
Wow, special thanks to Jeff Olson.
Do it for Daniel, folks.
If you're a school administrator, a coach, or teacher, or any level of parent, look it up.
Look up.
Do it for Daniel.
Because this is such an important thing with young people, with mental health.
And like he said, I thought, you know, Jeff cut right to the chase.
You know, you could have a physical problem like he had with his knee.
And you realize, well, what they're doing isn't working.
We need something else.
and you gotta look at mental illness as an illness, as an actual illness.
Not just get over a type thing, you can't, he said it's the same as when he tore a thing in his knee saying get over it, it'll heal by itself.
You can't.
And at this young age, 16, 17 year olds.
And he was saying
that if the kid gets some...
you know, medication.
Well, this will make you feel better.
Well, he's not feeling better.
He's got to say something.
This isn't working.
You know, if your knee wasn't feeling better, you go back to the doctor and say, hey, it still hurts.
Well, you'd be able
to see it
too.
Right.
Exactly.
Mental health illnesses.
Invisible.
Exactly.
Yeah.
And I mean, all Americans get 4.0 student.
Yeah.
You know, because I think I don't forget what he was going after at St.
Norbert.
You know, good looking kid, amazing athlete.
You know, you say, well, that kid, he'll never have a problem.
Yeah.
Right.
You have no idea
what's going on in
there.
Yeah, my
mom was, she's always been a mental health nurse.
She's retired
now, but
yeah.
So, you know, we've, we've, we've heard, you know, kind of, it's always been on the forefront of conversations
in our house.
Yeah.
And it should be just make that conversation if nothing else.
Yeah.
Knowing that, you know, you're, everything's, everything doesn't have to be okay all the time.
And
it's okay to tell people when it's not.
Absolutely.
That's what I'm talking about.
like you're fat.
We're pretty open about that.
Yeah.
So on our table and you know, people can see the counselors and, but I just, my daughter was very stressed out in New York.
She was, I said, how are you doing?
Oh my god, dad, this is terrible.
I just see my therapist twice.
I don't need to hear that.
But the fact that she's a
dad.
They might be bringing out some old family
drama.
I'm sure my name's been mentioned on the
couch.
But
I know
it is to my therapist.
Trust me.
As long as we're sharing.
Thank you.
I just think it's good that people talk about it.
The old doctor.
You're right.
You can talk about it.
It's like,
what
did
she say?
And we have some fun conversations around that.
But anyway, yes.
I think I lost a son over this.
We're
talking about another one, a local athlete that we both knew.
Can games get here in town?
I mean, it's, you don't have to be 40 years old to have that issue.
And I wonder if it's getting worse these days with social media and all the different things with questionable.
Well,
absolutely.
Because you see people's lives and how you think that they
are.
I mean, I think it goes
across the board no matter what age you are.
But when you're young and you haven't experienced life and you haven't felt those up and downs, knowing that you can make it through.
you're not going with that knowledge base that you know you can get through this and you're seeing everybody in these perfect lives that they have and in reality.
They're usually not.
They're just showing you.
And you're judging yourself against that.
I know,
which is totally unfair.
Completely 100%.
Yeah.
I know.
Stop, stop.
Yeah.
But what's going on in the biz?
I mean, things are hopping.
Just I still follow it.
You know, I still like the business.
I mean, and it's like, oh, wow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's getting crazy.
You know, buyers and sellers, they're, they're coming out.
So we've got, we've actually got a home listing today.
Hopefully around noon, everybody will see it, but it's right over right behind.
Bayport,
yeah, Moose Creek Estates, I think.
Just off of Moose Creek.
Yeah, so
it's kind of a neighborhood where things don't turn over very much.
Extremely popular area.
Yeah,
beautiful home, beautiful home.
Two-story, three-bedroom, just gorgeous house.
That's going to be listing today.
Wow, that's exciting.
Yeah, we got a home that hit just off of Humboldt, 10 acres, a private pond.
Wow!
Yeah, right in the city.
I was going to say
that's...
Yeah, that's a lot of elbow room for the city.
Yeah, it's pretty great.
It is, but you don't find that very often.
No, no.
That one's a little deceiving for people who drive by it on Humboldt because it's behind.
So you'll see Ben sign and then you have to go down that driveway.
It's a private driveway.
So it's a private driveway
and it's right between two homes and you can't see the home.
Wow.
That's per sale off this
one.
It's kind of nice.
Yeah, so
you kind of have to, you know...
That
sounds fantastic.
Pan fish in the pond.
Nice.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I know.
Within the city limits.
Within the city limits.
Can
you believe
it?
Yeah.
Thank God
he's not
Barrymore.
He had to like do something.
It's like.
Development.
Are you
kidding me?
Fill in the
pot.
Fill
in the pot.
Actually 40 more houses on that.
Quarter acre lots.
Let's do it.
Yeah.
His brother lives in that same area.
So I'm not sure that would go over very well
with family.
That's awesome.
Tell me again about the Bayport one.
That one is hitting today.
I think it's just over 600.
I can't think
of what we
landed.
So it'll be listed today.
It's not listed
yet.
It's going to be listed.
It's all put in.
We're getting ready for approval this morning, so usually it's
around here.
So every realtor in.
a hundred mile radius is going to see that pop up in the MLS.
We hope so.
We
hope
so.
And we'll have an open house there this weekend as well.
Then we got one coming up on St.
Mary's Boulevard in Allaway on Monday.
That's like my
favorite
street.
That's St.
Francis St.
Mary's.
I lived in Allaway.
Why didn't I live across Webster?
But those don't come up for sale very often.
And there's something about those boulevards.
Yes.
Gorgeous.
Love
them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Impeccable
home.
And they've always been.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was just to say that I,
quick story.
Throw the pack or coaches used to live.
Yes.
That, that's a beautiful neighborhood.
I sort of tell you a quick story.
When we got married 35 years ago, we were looking for houses and this, he's dead now, the realtor, but he took us over there.
And I
was going to start a business and you can't have a really nice house and start a business.
There's just not that kind of money.
And he's taken me through that place on St.
Mary's.
Oh no, Jim, you deserve this.
I grabbed him by the shoulders.
I said, you show me something half this price.
And he did I bought a house half the price
and I
started a business, but he's all those are beautiful home.
They're so well-maintained Well, that's what I mean.
They keep And then the Boulevard's well maintained.
I mean the alleyway does a good job.
It's just in that neighborhood looking good Yeah, and
it's one of those neighborhoods where every house looks different.
Yeah,
you know, you've got
some nice style.
Yeah, they do.
Yeah, that's cool.
That'd be good.
That'd be a fun one.
Yeah, I love that.
I think
that one will go fast
too.
Yes, that hits Monday and that
is right around 499.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know what you mean that there was like
really cool craftsmanship and the design
and everything.
When we were
going from, we were going to the Packard Draft, we took the bus and we were going through some neighborhoods.
I even told my son Dom, I said, boy, can you tell when these were all built in about 1966 or 67?
Every
one,
same builder.
And it's
like you must use the same design to save
money or
whatever.
I mean, nice, but versus those kind of neighborhoods.
Everybody was a little bit different.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And
it's just, yeah, it's just everybody together and everybody maintains, you just, the streets are so beautiful.
I mean, Moose Creek Estates is like that
too.
You know, every
house.
Not a lot of rentals all to her.
No.
But those are water occupied homes with families.
Yeah.
It's just, you could just feel it when you're there.
I've always liked that neighborhood.
I mean, I,
Happy where I am, but that's yeah, me too.
Yeah, just the stones throw
from the Fox River trail.
Oh, yeah
So when you look at Green Bay, it seems like there's a still a lot of building going on
a
lot
There is
and I just hope we don't overbuild but
nobody feel that yeah, I feel
the same way it
But every time you drive out, it appears building stuff.
Obviously, Green Bay has a couple projects going on.
And I'm just hopeful that that frees up.
these smaller starter homes for you guys, or for, I should say you guys for the first time buyers, because we lack that.
Yeah.
Well, I think what you're seeing so much of, which is good, is we've got a lot of kind of upper end rentals, apartments going up, which is nice.
And I think that we've got some low income housing that's kind of opened up as well.
And we've got condos that are coming.
And I think that with the generation that is retiring and the baby boomers,
trying to get to their winter place through the winter and then they still want a summer home here, those rentals and those condos are amazing for them.
And so I
think
they're filling a void for sure that I think our area was a little slow on.
That's funny to say that because we talk about that.
I mean, our next move will be to a condo, right?
I'm through bedroom.
And Donna just said, somebody called and they want to buy our house.
I'm like, okay, she goes,
When they call back, you need to talk to them.
I'm like, what?
I don't want to move.
But anyway.
Somebody's
more ready than you
are.
Yes.
And are those legit calls?
That they'll
buy your house or when you have a postcard in the mail Jonathan this is a
friend
Those are legit, okay, but you're not gonna get what you could get if you put your home on the market,
right?
They're
easy they're gonna be a cash no inspection They just they want your home to flip it
because I had a guy one time at a beautiful house at him last often Okay, I did get the listing everything and he told me goes I gotta be honest.
I'm not gonna pay a full commission like
Well, okay.
I mean, you know, I go to just ask why which
is
fine to get his business.
You know, whatever he goes because I got like three or four other people.
I got letters from them.
They want if I ever put the house on the market, they want it.
And I looked at him.
It's like, you could tell everyone was a scam.
Oh,
yeah.
And I'm like, I got to explain this to you.
These they don't really just.
Yeah.
And it's like, if they want to buy it, then let's list it.
And you know what?
Yeah.
Come on.
Yeah.
But
sometimes people see those kind of letters and postcards or phone.
Yeah, and I mean yours is legit, but I've always know how much of that was you
know,
yeah
Yeah, well, I'm sure that there's some scams out there and you know, for the right price, anyone will buy
it.
But you're not
gonna get what you should be getting
for your home.
Exactly.
Yeah.
We're talking,
and ironically, none of those people came to the showings.
Yeah.
So you just listed them and then went to
full commission on everybody else.
Yeah, that's what
I've done too.
You know, we get that a lot too when you're talking to people, you know, sellers especially, who they're talking to a bunch of agents, which they really should
in a few,
you know, a handful, but there's always a...
that come with buyers in their pockets, supposedly.
Yeah, hair quotes.
Yeah, yeah, and we're like, that's fantastic.
When it
hits,
have them bring their buyers.
And ironically, then you never see them.
Yeah, I know.
Save the guy, you're right, with those letters.
Have your children get heavier.
Have you been to them lately?
Yeah, I know, I know.
Well, we all
gotta get business some
way, right?
Some of us
just do it more on the up and up.
Right, yep, exactly.
So the biz right now, heading into the hottest part of the season in a lot of ways, you know, schools are gonna.
be ending and yada, yada,
yada.
Tell me what it's like right now in the world of real estate in this area.
Hot, hot, hot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, honestly, a lot of buyers are coming out, which, you know, they're the ones who fuel the market.
Yeah.
Well, we had talked.
I think, you know, weather plays such a big part
of
not only just people wanting to be out and about, but how they feel.
They can finally take off that coat, that blanket, get away from their fireplace,
and head
out and see some
hobos.
Get away from their fireplace.
Because it's been
so
cold.
Yeah,
it's been so cold.
Well, you know another thing, though, too, with people as far as with the...
Houses just look better now.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Remember I told you I was looking for a little fixed rubber and
I
drove past one over off of Ashley.
And it's
like...
the driveway wasn't shoveled and the thing was full up.
And it's like, I don't want to see it.
It just looked.
I know.
There's something about that green grass and flowers coming up that just, you can't do that in the winter
for sure.
So you just have to imagine it.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
When you first came on, I was talking about the cost of a home and you got the home, you got the interest, right?
But there's just those other factors that seem to be escalated, not escalated, but they're going up faster than.
normal inflation and that's this insurance this roof insurance and I just hope people are really aware because the last thing you want to do is get in there and
You know not be able to afford it.
Then you're
right
to your house.
You can't go do anything.
It's
yeah, so become house poor,
right?
Yeah,
and that's a real thing because people look at a mortgage I can handle that exactly no idea how many other things come into play
Yeah, I know it's tough to and I think that happens especially with first-time homebuyers
They
don't understand all the additional costs that are gonna
come you know with that home
so we talk about it all the time You know don't go at your top.
That's good.
You're giving them that advice because you don't I mean
And you don't want them to be house-wretched,
cash-cooled.
And I get it.
I know that a lot of you realtors that wouldn't.
Yeah.
And you're like, oh, you can afford this, Mark.
We got them free up right here.
Good to go.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Get in there.
Oh, yeah.
We deserve this.
Yeah.
We want them
to come back.
Ben and Jenna Malker, Moving with the Malkers.
We'll be back with them in one
minute.
time she needs to rest the kids are playing up damn stairs sister's saying
Hey, welcome back mind on the mayor here Thursday morning.
The fog is lifting There were some issues with selcom as we're talking about they were down or so like I came in I couldn't get a hold of Todd I was trying to call him this morning and so it is that back up
now I don't I don't believe it is but let me ask you something.
Why were you trying to call me this morning?
I think Todd was ignoring you.
Why why were you trying to call me this morning?
Because my okay truthfully.
Oh
God
And
I was
going to tell you, hey, it's like unbelievably foggy and, oh wait, yada, yada,
yada,
yada.
But then I was also going to tell you my phone's not, this guy's sound crazy.
I was calling Todd to tell him my phone wasn't working.
So in case you didn't get
a hold
of
him.
That's, OK, guys, that's like working at a radio station.
And let's say the station's off the air, right?
Yeah, yeah.
And then people call and say, are you off the air?
Yes, we are.
Well, you should tell us on the air that you're off the air.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's funny.
Yeah.
Just like the TV does with the screen.
That's
right.
I did that one time.
Okay, back in the day, people don't even believe this, but there was a time when the NBA Finals weren't televised.
They were taped to Laid.
Oh
my
goodness.
Yes.
And remember the classic game Lakers against the Philadelphia when Magic, Karim was out, Magic Johnson had to play center and they won the championship.
We didn't televised it live.
I was working at Tucson, Arizona.
Okay.
So what I'd have to do was I was doing sports.
I'd say, okay, folks, and we'd say look away and then we'll put up the score.
But here's what I did stupidly.
This is
true story.
I
got so
much grief for that.
I said, okay, folks, I'm gonna turn down your TVs.
I'm gonna say the score.
Everybody ready?
I'm gonna say the score, turn down your TVs.
And I said the score and they go, okay, you can turn them back up.
Yeah.
That's funny.
Honestly.
That's funny.
But that just goes to prove.
So yeah, I tried counting time
to tell him my phone wasn't working.
Your mentality in life is just, you're there.
But you're not quite there.
That's right.
You're
not
all
there.
You're your own little bubble.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
So tell us more about this time of year, what you guys got going, how the business is, interest rates.
I know you hate talking about that.
Everybody does, but it's always out there.
So
you're here.
I just want to say one more thing on the listing of your home, just this decluttering.
And I just want to say I work.
you know at a homeless shelter and we get a lot of stuff and I think that's okay.
I think a lot of people do spring cleaning but I just think it's critically important if you're showing your house because nothing turns me off more than
Yeah.
Oh, definitely.
Well, and from start to finish, I mean, not only does it look better in photos, but buyers, when they're walking through and they have that just clean, fresh feel, and it feels like they can be in that space because it's not consuming them with your stuff.
They just, from start to finish, you know, getting some of that stuff cleaned up off of your floors is a big thing.
So if you've got a lot of stuff sitting on your floors, look at your floors.
If there's boxes, if there's things that don't need to be there,
Put him somewhere else.
I'm shocked sometime when realtors will post pictures with clutter.
Clutter?
Clutter?
I mean, bats, I mean, or dirty dishes on the... What?
In defense, a lot of times that's rentals.
You have to step into some of these rentals with... And
sometimes they don't want to see it sold.
Yeah, they don't want it sold.
They've got it good where it is.
I had one where
one of the kids wouldn't leave his bedroom.
He was in bed.
Oh, sure.
And people needed to see the bedroom.
He would
not get out of his
bed.
Yeah,
doors
better locked.
It's like, oh, what's in there?
Yeah.
That's
crazy.
Yeah, but it is.
It's one of those things decluttering and making sure this time...
we're just talking about how beautiful the landscape is, is making sure that things are cut, your weeds are pulled.
It makes a huge difference.
And if you want the window washer,
we
had a guy on, he's a young entrepreneur.
And he, that's what he does.
He just washes one man band.
But what a difference that makes.
Huge.
Make sure there's not any little trees growing in your gutters.
He does that too.
He does gutters.
He does all that.
That in itself, they haven't even gotten into your home.
And if you haven't, they already know what your home is going to look like on the inside.
They might not go see it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A lot of buyers do the drive by, especially when they get really tired.
They've been out there for a while and they haven't, you know, been able to, to complete a sale, whether they buy or fatigue.
Yeah.
They get kind of that buyer fatigue.
They're going to drive by.
And if you, if you haven't kept up the outside of your home, they assume the inside is going to be the same and they may not even come.
Yeah.
I got
into it
with a guy one time.
I was doing a open house.
I was hoping open house and It was a bit like a Saturday and a lot of people were coming through and a guy comes through and he didn't have shoes on and I kicked him out Would you allow a guy with
their bare feet or bare feet bare feet bare feet?
And he wouldn't put on booties.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, I would say can I see the bottom of your feet?
If they were to clean I'd be like I told him to leave and we got
into
it a little bit.
Sure.
Sure.
What would you do?
No,
I
just check his feet
That'd
be
like, ah, your feet fine.
Just let him walk through.
Oh, OK.
Yeah.
And it were me.
And
it were me.
Yeah.
But everybody's got to, you know, people got things about feet.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know.
But you know, a lot of times when you have to take your shoes off, especially in the summer, people have flip flops on.
Yeah, people
have.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
That's
what it was.
Definitely.
Yeah.
OK.
I know.
Sure.
I rarely get into it with anyone at an open house, though.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, I've been out there several times.
Maybe
that's why you're not
here.
back on the
radio.
That's why the career didn't exactly
go awesome.
We do though, I mean one thing that we do do, and I think both Ben and I, you know, when you, when you have- Okay, can
I just say something?
Another one of the ones?
Little kid wanted to bring a popsicle into this.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's a no-go.
And the parents are like, oh, really?
Yeah.
They're careful.
I was just gonna say, I do round up people's kids sometimes, you know, because they jump on the furniture.
Absolutely.
And, you know, sometimes the parents are busy, so I just, you know, you kind of just nicely get them, you know, involved in something else.
Okay,
one other one is that, that house I'm telling you about last time, they had a beautiful pool.
Oh, yeah.
So parents are like, run.
The kids down there running, two kids are running alongside.
I had to go outside and watch the kids.
Sure.
Yeah.
Sure.
Yeah, I know.
We are kind of babysitters sometimes.
The other thing that we really watch too is people who come in with, you know, it's kind of the old store thing with big bags.
You know, if people live in that home, you've got to do your due diligence in making sure that everyone who comes through an open house is there because they actually want to see the house and not see what the stuff is.
So there are times that we stay very close to some of the people that come in, you know, and that's why we like to do like two people in open house.
So you've got one there.
and greeting people and giving them the rundown, and the other one just kind of with them.
I had a
young couple one time, I'm 100% certain they came in to go into the bathrooms to look for meds.
Oh, absolutely.
No questions.
That happens more than you know.
Is that so?
I mean,
open up, you gotta be kind of,
oh.
Yeah.
Yeah, 100%
give
yourselves a plug.
How do we find?
Oh, give give us a call 920-495-7653.
And tell me where
you're located.
Yeah, we're a little beautiful building.
I'll give you the address to 1238 Main Street, sweet 21.
It's
a beautiful old original.
Oh,
it is.
We love it.
Ben and Deanna milk.
