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

Here are your hosts John Minow and Jim Smith Happy

Tuesday to

you.

What a

great weekend.

Awesome.

Well, it was great.

Yes Wow, did you well you you had to speak right

I spoke at Nicollet Gardens yesterday.

Nice.

They do such a wonderful job up there when I die.

I want to be there

Nicollet.

Yeah Yeah, I want to be the mausoleum Well, I think that sounds cool.

Yeah sounds like you're

a little

He's in the mausoleum.

Oh, OK.

That's the upper class.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Allaway has a good mausoleum, too.

And of course, the shrine does.

You know who does a good job with Memorial Day?

Little towns.

Yeah, no question.

Because I was up in Elko and stayed in Annago.

Nice parade.

Yeah.

And everybody was talking about.

Memorial day.

Yeah, I went to the store got some stuff.

You go to the parade.

Yeah, but anyway, that's nice all the flags down Main Street.

Yeah, just totally great.

You know, that's what I don't know how big that is eight nine thousand people.

I was watching I

don't know how or why but I've got WLUC TV out of Marquette on my cable system here.

Okay.

So the same thing I was watching them and it was a little downtown felch

You know, we're tying you look and boy every person that town was out there

and the kids they

and they're still throwing candy

Some of them graduate.

They still come back and play.

You know, they graduated, you know a week or two ago They're gonna be graduating seniors come in and play and yeah, it was yeah, that's that's cool stuff.

I mean, it's it's awesome Did you read?

I Don't online or something but Brett Varv did this post about What a great day.

I want to honor

I didn't see that.

The military.

And some guy wrote back to him.

This made a lot of sense.

This is something you would write.

He said, look, Brett, love you like a brother, but that's not what today's about.

No.

And people do get confused with that.

I know.

Totally.

100%.

That was

always the case

with that.

Totally.

And look, we have Veterans Day, of course,

on

the 4th of July, and Memorial Day, but...

It's important that we maybe remind people they don't want to scold them and this guy wrote a really nice response They say oh, I think you're great and but you know I want to explain the difference between absolutely.

I thought that was really

good That's that's the that's total truth, but I will say this and I always talk about this in my speeches on Memorial Day, okay?

Yes, it is more of a solemn date versus Veterans Day, okay?

Um,

excuse me.

I just want to say because the guy said happy Memorial Day, okay?

That's how the whole

right paragraph.

I agree with that 100% and then it is a fine line But but I will say this like I said every single Got Todd here just such a great event Nicollet gardens even the guest speaker was pretty decent Oh, even though it was my cat cutting out Todd from deep here.

Did it time I meant to speak Todd did it cut out when I was I'm serious about this Todd Let me know was it cutting out when I was speaking or just when I was doing the interview with the the brother of the guy who who of course died

Let me, cause I was trying to work that too.

But anyway, um, but you know what?

You know what I said too?

And one of my guys was there.

Um, um, I'm trying to think with the 127 when I was in Iraq, um, he was there and one of our guys died like two weeks after I was there, a really young kid, whatever.

But I, I said one thing.

I said, you know what?

If all those people that were killed in the war came back right now, you know what they would do?

They would drink so much beer and eat so many broths and have so much fun.

So part of it is do what we do.

Do what they would do.

That's why they did it.

Acknowledge.

Exactly.

That's our way of life.

Acknowledge the hell out of them.

But don't change what you do because they would love to be doing it.

Okay.

Todd says not when you were speaking just during the interview.

Okay.

Thank you, Todd.

But I think I was holding the mic wrong with the

receiver.

Oh, but I sent an email to someone to explaining.

that that it's okay to have barbecues that's what they would want absolutely exactly that's the point i want to as long as you want to as long as you spend that first one or two hours have that beer for them right their honor yes but go and pay respects first like i said these

no

question you drive by cemeteries there's always little things yeah like i said i drove drove through a ton of small towns but it was great

but i think i don't think you should

feel guilty no

no no don't

Because they would do it.

And in a lot of ways that honors them, in my opinion.

I

agree.

Somebody can disagree.

That's fine.

I totally understand.

But in my opinion, that's honoring them because that's what they would do and that's what they would want us

to do.

And you know

what?

They fought to preserve our way of life.

And I talked about that if we lost World War II, which we could have lost really easy, the Japanese and the Nazis would not want us to have our normal way of life.

So celebrate the fact that we've fought wars to embrace what we do as a nation.

And again, like the guy said, but this is for the people who gave their lives.

That's what this, that's what that day is about.

And I just think that's, that's great that we do that.

We're laughing about it.

That's a tax price.

So we're here we're here people at their cabins.

Oh,

I love these listeners that are the attention you guys take copious notes that is funny

I just want to tell him that we've served

a lot of people.

My daughter, when I told her that story, she couldn't eat.

She

kept spitting

up.

She was laughing so hard.

Literally yesterday, I'm sitting on my couch, getting ready to do something.

And Brian messages me and goes, I wonder how many people are here.

Brian, what is wrong

with you

seriously?

What's wrong with you, Brian?

No,

yesterday

was.

Hey,

Brian, I got to be honest with you.

Talk to me.

I was watching that game.

I was actually at the Kroc Center with my granddaughters.

But I was watching the Indiana Fever game.

Brian, what did you think of those unbelievably terrible no calls at the end of that game?

The refereeing in the WNBA is embarrassingly bad.

It's horrible this girl goes up for a shot, which would have won the game They got such a vendetta against Caitlyn Clark and her team this girl goes up for a shot.

She gets clobbered She's not to the ground not just like a little ticky-tack fall.

She's Not to the ground as she's shooting no call

Wow, and Caitlyn Clark.

She's injured now.

Yeah, she's out for two weeks good I you know what I wish if I were Caitlyn Clark I'd say you know what I'm gonna take a year off And then the whole league would like

Have so many fewer viewers

and

everything like that and then people just hate her for no reason.

It's unbelievable

Yeah, I just wouldn't tell Brian.

I got the numbers I get the numbers every day on how many we serve and I just wanted they weren't all at their cabin because we served 160 people for dinner last night so and 136 for lunch

Wow, we had a busy day.

It's a lot of food.

You're pushing out

there.

Not everybody went to their cab and tell that kid

Wow,

that's

incredible.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Good day

Uh, Brian says, I saw your post.

I thought, great, I'm going to have to speak for them, but I didn't see the game.

Brian, Brian, please watch the last two minutes of that game and tell me what you think.

The Indiana Fever.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

It was, it was terrible.

Vicki says, happy Tuesday.

It was a beautiful weekend.

I didn't make, you know what?

Why does Celebrity Pier close so early?

On their land they closed at four and it was like two o'clock before I got done with everything It's like

well, they got I hate but they got so much to take now you've been to those things I know I know I've taken my picture.

They get home till 1011

But I hate being that guy good it goes back to I worked at the gas station and I mop in the floor where it's cool and somebody pulls up You know what I mean?

I want an oil change.

I hate being that guy.

Yeah, and

You got a haircut

they don't know

I didn't that

guy you know they did no

they did no yeah,

actually it's growing out.

No

All right.

Well,

anyway, happy Tuesday May 27 sunscreen day,

which

did not

use over the week I

did

yesterday yesterday.

No, I did too.

I know a

girl

We used to put Crisco on her face.

Okay, that's just a that's that the baby and you look

like you put Crisco

on you know I used sunscreen I just yesterday like I told you guys it's a chilled day when we got home went outside and just sat in my lounge chair and listened to meet the press

Me

All right.

That's wasn't good.

Yeah, wasn't that good?

What was it about Johnny?

mental health Dick Cheney was on He it was all about mental health and then

Thank you, Todd.

That's Jim putting his face in the nuclear reactor.

All that,

all

that,

yeah.

Hey, listen, I'm gonna be totally,

I'm gonna come

clean on something.

Tomorrow morning, after the show, I'm getting surgery for skin cancer.

Yes, I wanted to ask you if you wanted to talk about that.

Absolutely, a

thousand percent, not even a question.

Okay, so you're taking some time off.

I'm taking some time.

I don't know, well, they don't know.

The extent

right it might

be the most minor thing in the world or they might tear my face apart,

but let's tell our listeners how that came about How did you discover that you potentially have skin cancer?

Was it just a regular checkup?

Was it itching?

Was it turning red?

You know what it was?

I'm not even joking about this.

It was Todd telling me stop touching your face I'm like, what are you talking about and Todd is this true?

It is true because he was on camera and he kept touching this his face and I'm like, what's going on with

that?

Dry skin type thing and Todd pointed out.

I didn't even know I was doing it.

Oh,

okay.

Well, that's cool So it was because of Todd that I went and got it checked out.

All right, there you go That's what I'm talking

about.

Yeah, I discovered a

lot of

people had to tell you go in and have a check right you weren't going to

well cuz I it was nothing it was just

dry skin But then didn't you shave it and it came

back.

Yes.

Yes.

That's when yeah, I cut it off accidentally shaving Yeah, oh my god.

I got under their eye was right here.

Oh, okay

Okay, I gotta tell you the grossest thing I've experienced How to be a grandpa how to try let me say this how to try being a grandpa Where grandpa's are the toughest guys the whatever guy okay, okay, so Saturday night Friday night whatever night it was my daughter and 1035 Sitting down having a cocktail and my daughter says can you meet me at Aurora Mir emergency room?

Oh, no

Okay, what's going on?

She said iris my youngest granddaughter put something up her nose and it won't come out and she's freaking out So I go to a raw medical emergency room, okay try to hold her down as the doctors digging into her nose, okay, which was Couldn't find anything doctor couldn't find it.

Okay, so the next day we're having lunch at the right place

Which is still you know what you can't miss I

love going to the right place that

you

know they mean everything

sometimes you go to different place I think that was you

can't a

booyah and or whatever at the

right place and the service yeah,

we have the but my daughter even told

us

from Madison she told the waitress just you're the greatest

Waitress, I've

ever

dealt with, just incredible.

At the phone, they do a takeout, you know, they call, they're just so friendly, and the food is consistently great.

Exactly!

My

daughter had booyah, she'd never had cheese.

My God, this is the greatest thing I've ever tasted.

And some places, not to mention their names, but when things got expensive, they kind of throttled back on the thickness of the burger, or sometimes the buns were a little cheaper.

Those guys just stayed the

course.

They stayed the course.

Love it.

It was, it's just a no-miss.

But anyway, so...

We're there as the waitress is bringing us our food.

She's putting the food on the table.

My other granddaughter goes, Iris, is that the thing in your nose?

And it was starting to come out.

So I have to grab her, grab a bunch of napkins and squeeze her nose.

I'm just trying

to grow.

This is right before dinner.

As the

food is being

put in front of us.

Nice.

Perfect.

So took care of that, right?

And I had to fake being a strong grandpa

because I

wanted to throw up Right,

right.

I hear you John that yeah

on my stomach.

I was forcing my stomach to not

Yeah,

what was it a bead some kind of a bead Oh, she put in her nose and it was five.

It was coming.

Yeah

Wow That's cool that it worked itself out.

You know what I mean?

There's a time perfect timing.

Yeah, right.

Yep

So Kirby

appetite.

Oh God Lord.

She like screaming about that or was she like because grandpa was doing it was okay.

She was okay.

Yeah, she didn't like

the doctor what I did I didn't get

only the grocery, but yeah, but I was afraid she would get sucked back in So I grabbed the top of her nose

right close

reason what napkins all over it.

I'm sure the people next

The table next door.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

You know what's weird?

Nah, we'll pass on dessert.

I'm gonna tell you the truth.

I actually, when I was driving away then, I threw out the window on the road.

I

threw it

in the East River.

That's where

I go to

the bridge of the East

River.

Did you guys ever put something up your nose though?

I never did.

I didn't do that

stuff.

Hey, a nose my size, I could have put a Tonka truck up mine.

God, I hate my nose.

Alright, we gotta set a quick break.

It is a beautiful Tuesday getting to rockin' here.

Back after this.

It's gonna be right around this, around 60 degrees today and sunny.

And as we mentioned, it's sunscreen day.

Also, grape popsicle day, grape day.

I hate grape.

I hate anything grape.

And why

do restaurants...

I

always

have the little things of grape jelly.

I like it.

You

do?

I do.

I grew up on Welch's

grape jelly.

You remember, right?

You remember my mom made tomato jelly.

So for me to get grape jelly, that was like the heavens parted and God shown his light,

you know?

God bless Josephine.

God bless my

beautiful, wonderful

mother.

My mom's name is Geraldine.

So think about this some like it hot the movie.

Yeah, Josephine.

Yes, and Geraldine.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

That's crazy.

You're

right.

Gosh darn it.

Her jelly wasn't good.

And I love her to death.

But yeah.

And it was great.

It was it was Apple and Cherry.

and some other choked cherry or something that was.

That's not bad.

I don't, I'm with you on the grape.

I don't like that.

No.

That's why there's always, they always have that.

They run out of everything else.

Orange marmalade, strawberry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I don't mean to interrupt, but every time I, I'm going to stop, stop posting Brian's texts.

No, I love this.

Read that one.

Read that one.

I was kayaking down the East River near Alloy this week.

I'm at Brittany Merleau.

Got hit now with a B that I think had some bleep on it.

That's not

on

it.

Brian, what's wrong with?

Seriously, Brian!

Just keep it coming,

Brian.

What's wrong with you?

He's the listener of the year.

Okay, I gotta

say one thing.

Okay, so I'm gonna talk a little bit.

Tomorrow I'm having surgery on my face for skin cancer.

Okay?

Just put it out there.

No big deal.

And they told you it was skin cancer, or did they say we're going to test it to see if it's... No, it is.

It

is.

It's cancer.

They

tested it

already.

The

biopsy.

All right.

It's cancer.

All right.

OK.

There you

go.

Yeah.

But what I'm saying is it was I if Todd literally hand told me to stop touching my face because I didn't know I was doing it.

And Todd says I'm doing it on camera.

I never would have gotten tested.

And even though I went to purveyor right down the road here that day.

And I thought they're going to say I was almost embarrassed to be there.

I thought they were saying really.

You don't have more important things to

do.

And they were

like, um, no, we're not going to touch it.

You need to go to a dermatologist.

It's like, huh, really?

So I go there and I actually felt stupid because I said, I thought the exact same thing.

And they're going to say, really?

You're wasting our time for this little, and then they said, okay, we're going to test it.

And then they came back and they said, you nap.

You have to have surgery.

So what I'm saying is the most minor tiny little thing that you ignore because it's just whatever.

Could be something.

Yeah.

And I'm not, trust me, I'm not saying woe is me.

All I'm trying to get across here is get the test.

Get the test,

man.

And I don't know what kind of insurance most people have, but I shouldn't say that.

I don't know what kind of insurance you have, but most insurances will pay for the preventive part because they don't want to pay whatever it's going to cost us.

Five grand or whatever that's going to cost you.

They would much rather you go in and get your physical every year.

So yeah, well, you've, Todd figured it out for you, but you know, if you go in for a physical, they'll find that.

You know what I mean?

Well, the next thing they're gonna do they're gonna

do one

of those

full body scans on

me.

Oh, did you really

those are awesome?

Huge mirrors, I mean not really magnifying glasses and that guy's eyes are like those cartoons, you know, yeah, but they look you over I know but

I don't think you have to do that every year though.

You know what you guys, I think that's a three, four, five year thing.

I don't think that's every year you have to get that body scan.

I'd have to get a sedative to lay there and let people look at me that closely.

And it's close.

I know.

I

don't think I've ever done that sober.

With

somebody you like.

I'm here to say I like to happen to be

there.

Kids are the draggy.

They were drunk, too.

They were drunk.

They had to be drunker

than

me.

Oh,

man.

So where the sunscreen?

Yeah, that's what I'm trying

to say here.

But the most minor little thing could be something.

I mean, when you get it, when you get an email, it says you got cancer.

It's it's cancer.

because of his tiny little thing, it gets your attention.

Oh boy.

And the people get that fishing, it's not just all people laying out in the sun.

I mean, fishermen get it, truck drivers get it, you know, from having to arm out the

window.

Being on the water is as bad as anything

you

could find.

In the winter, the snow, I mean, you have to think about that all year long.

I think part of mine, I don't know, because I mean, God, I mean, growing up in the UP, you had three sunny days a year.

So it's not from that.

But I even showed people that one picture of me in Iraq.

I was I had a thing.

I don't know if this could as possible.

I got stranded for three days at a place called Aliyah Salim in in Iraq They screwed up my manifest for flying or whatever and there was nothing there except a Burger King So every day I'd sit on the picnic table all day long waiting for my name to be called and I got I could show you a picture I got so I don't even want to say burnt so unbelievably dark that it seems like it cooked me it cooked my

face.

Yeah, that's and that's

That's, what, 20 hours a day?

I mean, that sun is out there.

Right.

Yeah, that was hot.

So I'm just telling people, I'm, trust me, I'm the last person in the world to give a health advice.

Oh, no, I'm not the last person to give health advice.

I got a new diet.

I'm down to 212 pounds.

I've lost 10 pounds this month.

No, how?

That's, I got, whoa.

Nice build.

Yeah, and I spilled this coffee.

I spilled coffee.

All right, all right, all right.

Well, I was so excited about

that.

Can I

tell you why?

212.

Why would you do?

What's pickle sandwiches?

Just pickles?

Pickle sandwiches.

But what's on them?

mayonnaise male and pickles Keto bread.

Well, that's okay that I don't like to taste the keto bread and toast it Keto bread.

It's 15 carbs, but 15 grams of a fiber so that wipes out

the car

right dill pickles have no calories.

Yeah mayonnaise has zero carbs I'm eating pickle sandwiches Keto bread toasted dill pickles and mayonnaise and I've lost 10 pounds in one month

That's awesome John.

Thank you.

I mean

that is

I can't argue that you went out for breakfast You must have had something right well that with the girls.

Yeah, I barely ate Trust me.

That's right.

I just tried to force it down.

I Will say this you know, it's gotten expensive fast.

I brought them breakfast the other day at McDonald's $36 $36 I know for high-seeing a little burrito thing $36

Back

to Mino and the Mayor.

Here's John Mino and Jim Schmidt.

So I'm not letting you guys go on quite yet because it is Tuesday.

It's the first day of the week for us.

It is.

We are 30

Five minutes into the show.

Okay.

You have each spilled your coffee.

Each of you have spilled it.

I was hoping you didn't notice

that.

Oh, I saw it.

He got up.

Yeah.

What is going

on

with

you guys?

Can't give us a day off anymore.

What?

What is going on with you guys?

I legitimately thought to myself, oh, I don't want Todd to see this.

Yeah.

Brittany, it's 635 on the very first day back from a three day weekend and neither one of them can.

Can you believe it?

We both spilled over.

I believe it.

And Brian just texts us.

He goes, I'm not making this up.

Best sandwich ever on toast, peanut butter and pickle sandwich.

Brian, that Brittany, Brittany.

It's not.

No, peanut butter bananas.

Brittany.

Peanut butter and pickles.

Never heard of it.

Brittany.

Yes.

I lost 10 pounds this month eating pickle sandwiches.

No way.

I would eat him and

then he would vomit, but yeah, she did it.

It

worked though.

That's all we care about is the 10

pounds.

I almost vomited on my

sandwich

the other day with doing that thing with my granddaughter.

Hi, Brittany.

Oh, good morning.

So please describe what this pickle sandwich is.

What else is on

it?

Keto bread.

Well, yeah, because you need to lose a lot

of weight, Brittany,

or 94

pounds.

Get

out there and exercise.

Yeah, you don't burn enough calories.

Yeah.

No.

But here's OK.

But you know what?

That's funny, though.

Actually, I saw some people kayaking in the East River this weekend.

But you know what?

That's the last place I would want to do that role thing.

No, yes.

And get into the East River in your lung.

Brittany, have you ever done that?

Oh, the kayak role?

Yeah.

No.

OK.

That's hard.

it is because

you gotta get up right

yeah it's not just you getting up it's turning that whole kayak up so yeah i know

past but i the thought of the east river yeah getting in here

that's not cool

blah blah blah hey britney we got a text here for you i'm working the wia sectional track me at westy pier friday forecast is sunny and 81 degrees will that hold out britney this is from terry

i

I think so.

Yeah, I do.

It's going to be nice and sunny.

There's a teeny tiny chance for some thunderstorms popping up in the afternoon.

None of them are expected to be severe, but that's about the only risk we have going on Friday.

But the warmest day of the week, 80s, yes.

Yeah, we've got a nice

stretch coming up, right?

Yeah, we do.

We really do.

I mean, a little cool today.

We'll get about 70 degrees in the mid sixties tomorrow.

Some scattered showers are possible both today and tomorrow.

More clouds, too.

But the sunshine comes back out for Thursday, Friday into the weekend.

We'll be into those mid seventies to low eighties.

Hey, Brittany, how's the fire thing right now?

Is that still bad?

It is low across the state.

It's only really high up and towards like Douglas and Bayfield County.

This morning, the high danger is what I'm saying.

The high is only dangerous up there, she said.

OK.

Right?

Yeah, Northwest.

Very far Northwest, Wisconsin only has the high fire danger.

The rest of the state is low.

So rain has definitely helped.

Nobody's in a drought condition except for very, very far South along the state line.

So the state's looking pretty good right now as well.

Awesome.

Cause this is a, I don't camp.

I've never camped in my life.

Is that something?

Really?

You know why though?

What?

What?

From Marinette or wherever you're

from?

No, you know

why?

Cause we camp all year?

Yeah.

I had my, when I was a little kid, I had my pup tent.

My, you know, Cub Scout pup tent set up in my yard, and I bet I slept out there three or four days a week all summer long.

Me and my friends, and we'd have a fire every single night in our backyard.

Pretty close to camping.

Well, that's what I mean.

So the thought of going to a campground

to do

exactly what I did in my backyard in my whole life.

You know what I mean, Brittany?

Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.

You're like, what's the point?

What's the difference?

I love

sleeping in a tent.

I love having fires the whole thing, but I didn't feel the need to go someplace else to

do it.

You could do it in your backyard.

Yeah, that makes sense.

I mean, I think those of us in the hood are the ones that like camping.

Right.

So we get out.

Yeah.

In the ghetto?

Were you in the ghetto?

You grew up in the ghetto on two rivers?

In the tenement?

No.

Brittany!

Brittany, I want to kayak this summer.

I want to play and I want to kayak

you want to what

I wanted to do that so bad this weekend was kayak I saw so many people out of the water.

Yeah.

Oh my

gosh

that

hey 10 years ago You do we even know what a kayak was you don't mean and now that's become such

a

popular thing

We call them canoes.

That's what I mean, right?

It was canoes, but who knew kayak?

Isn't that an unbelievable popular sport Brittany?

Oh my gosh, is it huge kayaking stand up paddle boarding?

I mean, they're doing everything out there.

I've even seen those.

Oh gosh, I don't even know what they are.

Technically bikes that you're riding on the water.

Oh yeah, that's one way above

it.

Those are awesome.

Those are pretty cool, actually.

Yeah.

And then, well, I don't.

I would kick your butt in that.

Oh, I don't

know.

I would.

Y'all cut like we'll see what

I'm saying.

All

Let's do it.

Lake

Can we wait cause a lot more calm?

I don't

know about

that.

There's nothing going on at the East

River.

I don't like the East River.

I'm afraid I'll fall in and I'll swallow that ugly water.

Yeah.

Brittany, we want you to be with us.

I would love to.

I'd be upset if I missed it.

I love those kinds of things.

Water sports, 100%.

And then,

okay, then we're going to race you in a kayak, but you have to give us a big head start.

A big, big hit start.

Very large hits.

Like where you can't

even see us.

We're halfway there.

We see the finish line

and you can't see us.

You're not even in the water.

You're coming down the road.

The kayak is in the

back of

your truck.

Okay,
