Show Announcer

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

And here are your hosts.

John Minow, and Jim Schmidt.

All right, good morning,

Jim Schmidt

everybody.

Back by popular demand, it's Jim Schmidt and Connie Feldman.

Connie Feldman

Connie and the mayor this morning.

Thank you for coming back.

Oh, it's great to be here.

We had so much fun last week, Jim.

And we got some nice

Jim Schmidt

texts on you, too.

So welcome.

This is going

Connie Feldman

to be a

Jim Schmidt

fun day today.

And we're starting off with great weather, right?

Green Bay, 56, Appleton 52, and Oshkosh 52.

Oh, pretty close.

Connie Feldman

Do you see the high today?

70 something?

Jim Schmidt

No, 82.

Connie Feldman

Are you kidding me?

Oh, we got to get out of here and go play.

Well, no,

Jim Schmidt

no, we're gonna, we got an exit plan coming up.

Did you see what you read?

This is today is leave the office early day.

So Todd was about 630.

What time we leave in 630 quarter to 7?

Well,

Todd

we'll

Jim Schmidt

be out of here.

It's

Todd

pretty much when the show

Jim Schmidt

wraps up

Todd

anyway.

Jim Schmidt

Most

Todd

morning.

Connie Feldman

It's going to be that kind of a Monday morning.

It

Jim Schmidt

might

Connie Feldman

be.

I'm sorry.

Jim Schmidt

But this, this weather, like we're there.

Connie Feldman

Yeah.

What a gorgeous weekend it was out.

Jim Schmidt

Yep, I'm just digging this.

Are you a gardener?

Connie Feldman

Well, I'm a wannabe gardener.

Jim Schmidt

Todd, you're a gardener.

Yeah.

My wife's a big gardener.

Yeah.

And our neighbors are.

And you know what I think is cool about gardening is even though what somebody could afford to maybe get a gardener, you'd like to do it yourself.

Connie Feldman

Oh, I do love

Jim Schmidt

it.

That is a do it yourself

Connie Feldman

thing.

I love being out there.

SPEAKER_??

Yeah.

Jim Schmidt

Hired out, but she

Connie Feldman

didn't see how

Jim Schmidt

he started that

Connie Feldman

You know my challenge this year's I'm trying to get our grass to grow.

I mean, it's you know, we have clay Green Bay's got a lot of clay and I'm bound to determine I've been out there every day, you know, I'm overseeding and watering and sprouting and

Jim Schmidt

Now that I do I would admit I do find that out but it is

Those guys know what they're doing and you've got to, it's a process.

Civic Media Announcer

It's not like one

Jim Schmidt

thing.

So maybe if you want to go to Liza or somebody and just ask them, how do I get a putting green?

Yeah, but

Civic Media Announcer

it takes a while.

Jim Schmidt

But that garden, I really think that's an interesting thing because if you have the resources, you don't really wash your own windows and you don't really clean your house.

Well,

Connie Feldman

I don't know about you, Jim.

No, I want to make a point here

Jim Schmidt

because

People can afford to get a somebody do their their whatever Draniums or whatever you guys put in there and they and they don't and the reason we were in Miami And we took one of those tours.

I like looking at houses.

Connie's Friend

Yeah,

Jim Schmidt

so we took a house tour and this guy is out there working and he is on it just in his garden this trim and trees and It wasn't a gardener.

I mean it was yeah, and he is the guy who is the president.

He's got a

unbelievably home right in the peninsula, the company that makes Viagra.

So he made a fortune,

Connie Feldman

an absolute fortune.

Jim Schmidt

And there's a lot of entertainers along there too.

Now, maybe they farm it out, but not farm it out, but they have people do it.

But I just am amazed by how many people, even our neighborhood, you drive around our neighborhood, there's just a lot of neighbors working in

And they love

Connie Feldman

it.

We bought our house.

The woman who lived there before us was a premier gardener.

All I heard of was, oh, wow, Linda was out there all the time in the garden.

And she had the entire gardens around her house all mapped out.

She gave me the grid to find out this plant is here.

And I've tried to keep up with it.

I really have.

You might have to bring her

Todd

back.

Do you feel like you're disappointing the neighbors?

Connie Feldman

I do.

I do.

I felt all the pressure.

Oh, and Linda was

Jim Schmidt

here.

Connie Feldman

Yeah, I'm not the one out there.

She was out there all day, every day I heard, you know.

Jim Schmidt

I was out there this morning.

This morning before.

Yeah, it's so nice

Todd

out.

Jim Schmidt

And she,

Todd

yeah.

I spent some time.

I had to redo some porch steps and do some painting in my house.

I was out there.

Now.

Jim, you know this, Connie, you probably don't.

But I really don't know my neighbors, right?

I know, I know one person who lives next to me two lots over.

I know her name is Holly.

Other than that, I don't know.

And that

Jim Schmidt

I really like it

Todd

that

Jim Schmidt

way.

So yeah, Todd is not

Todd

the president of Neighborhood

Jim Schmidt

Watch.

No, no,

Todd

don't even let people load on the sidewalk or something when I'm driving by.

I look the other way like I'm, you know, looking for something in the trees.

But so I'm out there and I'm doing some work.

Two people came up.

to talk to me, two neighbors, right?

But it was because they had gossip about somebody down the street,

Jim Schmidt

right?

Oh, did you hear about so and so and such and

Todd

such?

His car was there, too.

Yeah, right.

Yeah.

Well, they came in and they cleared the house out.

Okay, great.

Thanks.

Bye.

Jim Schmidt

You know,

Todd

so I was out there trying to enjoy the weather and people were bothering me.

Oh,

Jim Schmidt

yeah.

Do you have

Todd

a

Jim Schmidt

front porch?

I do.

Okay.

And that, that's the way.

A lot of old homes.

I mean, I will you're gonna come over on the 17th where I remember a party big

Civic Media Announcer

month is playing right

Jim Schmidt

across the street

Civic Media Announcer

Oh,

Jim Schmidt

and Jim arts is coming over.

Yeah.

Oh, you're on vacation that week.

Yeah, I'll be gone.

Yeah Anyway, we have a lot of front porches and that's I think how people go.

Yeah, we're all over neighborhoods We've had someone on here from the Green Bay neighborhood association.

There's like 40 different neighborhoods in in Green Bay and

You know, if people get to know each other and they have like a block party, like in the

Civic Media Announcer

old days

Jim Schmidt

or just a neighborhood, you know, the city will pay for, well, not alcohol, but we would pay for like the food,

Connie Feldman

the

Jim Schmidt

ones, that kind of stuff.

I don't know what the limit is on that.

Neighbors knowing each other reduces crime.

And

Connie Feldman

that's

Jim Schmidt

the reason we do it, but we also want them to know each other.

Connie Feldman

Well, you know what?

So you're not

Jim Schmidt

going to be, you're not going to run for city council.

Absolutely not.

He's the only boy who's going to get his hollies.

I told this

Todd

story and I don't mean to take time away from you, Connie, but when I lived in my other house in Oshkosh, I had a very old house and it was a doctor's house.

So the doors automatically locked.

You always had to have your keys with you.

Okay.

Well, I left and forgot my keys.

So I had to get in the house.

There was this box on the door.

from where the chemist or the pharmacy would drop off drugs

Civic Media Announcer

and the

Todd

door automatically locks and then you can open it on the inside.

And then when that closes, that locks all the, you know, the whole thing.

So I thought the only, I'm not breaking these old windows.

I'm just not going to do it.

I'm going to bust open this box.

The only thing

Connie Feldman

I,

Todd

the only

Connie Feldman

thing I really

Todd

had in my garage that I could use was an axe.

So I'm out there prying away.

Now I'd lived in the house for like three years at this point.

Connie Feldman

But you wonder why the neighbors don't want to talk to

Todd

them.

So I'm sitting there, apparently my neighbors who don't know who I am saw me breaking into the house because all of a sudden I heard, sir, drop the weapon.

Civic Media Announcer

And

Todd

I turned around and there were three cops in my driveway

Jim Schmidt

with their guns drawn.

Todd

Now, those are

Jim Schmidt

good neighbors.

It was my

Todd

neighbor Kitty Corner for me

Jim Schmidt

who had never

Todd

met me before.

Who called the cops?

Okay.

Can you blame her?

Jim Schmidt

You know a guy that looks like you with an axe getting in a house?

That's okay, Jim.

Connie Feldman

You know what?

Do you know in our neighborhood?

I know everyone's dogs.

Jim Schmidt

Yes.

Connie Feldman

I know their dogs by name.

Great way to

Jim Schmidt

meet neighbors.

Connie Feldman

Then I have to try and remember what's the dog's parents name?

Yeah, but they know my dog by name too.

I don't know that they know who I am.

That's cool walking your dog.

Jim Schmidt

You know our neighbors, well we get along with our neighbors pretty well, but it

I think that's kind of important, but you know, Todd, you're a little bit of a... Enhaxman.

Bubble?

No, no, bubble or recluse, whatever.

I'm not a recluse.

I just... I

Todd

don't like people.

Jim Schmidt

Right.

I have said that.

Anyway, that yesterday, I just couldn't believe all the people that were working outside.

We're going to get to this a little bit later, but also yesterday, breakfast on the farm.

Connie Feldman

A lot.

Oh, what a beautiful day for

Jim Schmidt

it.

Yeah, 6,000 people.

Wow.

Connie Feldman

You know what I mean?

In four hours.

About that far?

Well, they

Jim Schmidt

started a little bit early, like at 7.30.

But it's really four hours to get all, and then one of our, you know, they make those eggs and those huge, they look like satellite dishes, you know, and they're scraping that.

And one of them went down.

Oh no.

Think about that.

Think if you have four of those and one went down.

Like if you had a machine,

Connie Feldman

that was

Jim Schmidt

a capacity, and one went down.

So.

Just that wasn't bad, but a little weight on the eggs.

Connie Feldman

And they're stirring them with dust pans.

You know,

Jim Schmidt

that's anyway, we'll get to that because that was pretty cool.

Connie Feldman

I'm so glad they had a great turnout.

That's such an important event.

Jim Schmidt

Yeah.

And, you know, we were talking to, you know, there's four age kids and stuff there, but I was with, is it Miss Dairyland?

Is that it?

Yeah, Miss Dairyland.

Connie Feldman

Alice in

Jim Schmidt

Dairyland.

So I was with her.

And she still says she gets that question that

from adults too.

I was like, oh, those kids, adults, that chocolate milk comes from brown cows.

Show Announcer

She still

Jim Schmidt

doesn't.

Okay, Connie.

Yes.

And the other.

She really enjoys talking to schools because she talks about, especially those of us who live in the hood, they maybe don't have that connection to farms.

So

Connie Feldman

it's important.

Well, we were talking about that last week, how important it is to know where the food comes from.

And this is such a great opportunity.

I was reading about that farm has been in business since the 1800s in Wisconsin.

And that's how long local farms go back in this community.

So to get out there and check out everything they do and see it up close and where chocolate milk really does come

Jim Schmidt

from.

So

Connie Feldman

I think we

Jim Schmidt

have, we're gonna get to that.

We have some audio that I took.

I'm not, you know, Mr. Interview, you know that I, but I took, I gave it.

I don't know.

Wish I would have known that before we hired you.

I know.

I'll tell you something I did Friday.

Friday night there was an event at the Mulva Center.

And we've had them on here and they want to come back and they listen to our show.

That is the cultural center to hear.

beautiful building.

Connie Feldman

Yes.

Jim Schmidt

Um, have you been there?

I have not yet.

But you've been by there.

Everybody knows where it is.

Yeah.

And we're, they were talking about that.

Um, I think it's too, it's a little intimidating.

Like maybe I don't, they just aren't getting the public to come in like they had hoped.

So

Connie Feldman

we really helpful with

Jim Schmidt

that.

I, I, we're trying to figure that out.

Is it, it is, it's, it's, you know,

It's a big building.

Are you not highbrow enough?

Well, I know.

I didn't want it to be that.

That's not why they built it.

But I wonder if

Todd

people think

Jim Schmidt

that.

I

Todd

wonder if people think it's

Jim Schmidt

too highbrow for me,

Todd

you

Jim Schmidt

know?

Todd

And I think, but if you look at the events they've got going

Jim Schmidt

on,

Todd

it's for everybody.

It's totally for everybody.

Jim Schmidt

Well, Jim goes there, you know.

You know, he hires out his garden.

I don't know.

I'm not left with that.

But they're really trying to do that.

And the director,

Connie Feldman

we should help him out.

Yeah.

Jim Schmidt

And he's going to come on here.

We've had the marketing.

I forgot her name twice, but he wants to come on here.

That's one of his, I don't know if they say it's a challenge, but they want to get more people there,

Connie Feldman

and I don't

Jim Schmidt

blame

Connie Feldman

them.

Well, when we talk about everything there is to do in Northeast Wisconsin, it's not just about football, it's not just about cheese.

That's one of the things.

We have some real cultural gems in this area, and we need to promote that a little bit more.

People need to be aware of it.

That

Jim Schmidt

is our job.

Anyway, so that was that was a cool event but I just want to tell you why I was there It was private event because you can rent it out too.

I was rented out by Berkstrom Yeah, they need to become a sponsor of ours.

They're great people.

Yeah, and of course they have so they brought in their You know the Porsches the Mercedes they had like 30 cars parked up there in the building and on the terrace neat I think the cheapest car there was 67,000 but they went up from there and it was just kind of an open house

And I talked to a friend of mine, and he said, yeah, I'm going to buy one of these.

Like, wow.

So anyway, it was a very cool event.

But it was nice to get in there and see that.

You can use it for things like that.

But like Todd said, it's mostly

for like a library.

It's like, come on, use this place.

There's movies, there's so much to do there.

So anyway, yeah, we gotta get them back on here

Todd

though.

Got a couple of texts coming in this morning.

Vicki says, good morning everybody.

Terry says, enjoy the wildfire smoke.

Coming

Jim Schmidt

this way.

Well he

Todd

asks how Mino's doing.

And I spoke with Mino on Friday.

He's doing relatively well, I think.

Gave him the weekend to kind of rest up.

I'll call him and see how he's doing today.

Hopefully he'll be back on Thursday.

And then Brian said so.

Did she answer your question about the chocolate milk,

Connie Feldman

Jim?

Todd

He digs pretty deep.

Connie Feldman

What did she say?

Jim Schmidt

You know, about the chocolate milk, does it come from Broncos?

He thinks I asked the question.

Connie Feldman

I'm sure you did.

Good morning, Vicky.

Jim Schmidt

But her reign is kind of ending in, what, six weeks or so?

But oh my god, what they do.

get her on here too.

The traveling they do, the schools they go to, the

Civic Media Announcer

events

Jim Schmidt

they do, you know, a lot of them.

Anyway, that was a lot of fun.

So let's, well, today we got a lot to do today, but let's talk about what Monday is, Connie.

You want to just mention, we got one minute here.

We'll just start with rotisserie.

Rotisserie

Connie Feldman

Well, doesn't it have marshmallows in it?

I can't deal with marshmallows.

There's too much stuff, right?

Yeah, they tried too hard.

Todd

Yeah.

I like simple plain flavors of ice cream.

Connie Feldman

See, I can't mix.

I love

Fruit ice cream, and I love chocolate ice cream, but I can't mix like cherry chocolate.

Nope.

No, you don't make fruit and chocolate.

Todd

Jim Schmidt

Okay, this I don't want to listen you hear this last time you guys but We don't use we use cloth for everything and even I was just in the kitchen and making something and I just

opened up the drawer and took out a cloth, and I could have used paper, but it's just something that you do.

You know, there's some people that, I don't know, you just do certain things a certain way and it's hard to switch over.

Connie Feldman

We use cloth.

Jim Schmidt

Let's see.

All

Connie Feldman

the time.

Up at the cabin all the time.

Love it.

It's reusable.

Jim Schmidt

It is.

Connie Feldman

Yeah.

Jim Schmidt

And yeah.

Are yours?

embroidered with...

Todd

Monogrammed?

Connie Feldman

Are they

Todd

monogrammed?

Connie Feldman

They are not monogrammed.

It's not that expensive.

But my mother made them.

It's

Todd

not as expensive as you think.

Connie Feldman

And yeah, my mother made them and I remember as a kid learning how to iron.

Cloth napkins.

What you

Todd

can do is cut back on some of the gardening money and

Connie Feldman

get

Todd

them

Connie Feldman

embroidered.

And lawn

Todd

care.

Connie Feldman

I will hand embroider them myself.

That I could do.

Jim Schmidt

All right, so hey, we got a text in.

This is interesting.

7.30 yesterday morning, we're talking about what a great time to get out and work in your neighbor.

Okay, 7.30 yesterday morning, my neighbor was cutting his lawn.

I thought that was a little too early.

Am I right?

Probably talk to him today.

Well, here's the deal.

I think it is seven o'clock the noise ordinance so I think he was okay we used to get a lot of complaints about leaf blowers because and now there's communities banning leaf blowers because it's so damn loud

Connie Feldman

real yeah mm-hmm well see one of my fondest memories growing up every Saturday morning my dad was mowing the lawn that's how I would wake up every Saturday morning fresh cut grass yeah and here in dad

mown the lawn right so he did it early i don't know if it was that early

Jim Schmidt

but well there's a noise ordinance and i i know it starts at 10 at night but i think it goes to six or seven so i just remember it's got to be seven i think it's seven probably because Notre Dame where my kids went to school were you know heavy on the academics but they were going to a contest for their band so they were

playing at six in the morning, outside, marching band.

And some neighbor called and put the smack

Connie Feldman

down on him.

Let me come on there.

High school

Jim Schmidt

kids practicing for this tournament.

And anyway, so I think it is seven o'clock.

Connie Feldman

You know, I was telling you, we... So anyway, just to our

Jim Schmidt

call, I just want to

Connie Feldman

say,

Jim Schmidt

so 730 is legit.

Yeah, probably.

Maybe you got to get up a little

Connie Feldman

earlier.

I played in this jazz band, this New Orleans style jazz band, and we were on a morning show.

And we were playing in some local park, but you know, it was like 6 30.

Yeah, and we're you know busting out Saints go marching.

Oh, yeah We got a call we got a call

Jim Schmidt

and But did the cops let you play or did they put the smack down on you?

Connie Feldman

No, they let us

Jim Schmidt

play.

I see that we should have done that Set by that right what else we got going on today Rocky Road now here's a cool day I love my dentist day and I saw that yesterday when Todd sent it and I I don't have my dentists

I have my doctor's home phone.

Why don't I have my dentist's home phone to call him?

So I'm gonna try him a little bit later.

You know, maybe it's seven, seven, 30, but I wonder if those guys celebrate that, if they get gifts.

Is this a thing?

Did you ever hear of this

Connie Feldman

before?

I have not heard of that.

I do love my dentist though.

I know him very well.

So

Jim Schmidt

if you knew it was, I love my dentist a, would you do something?

Connie Feldman

Well, I have not done anything.

Jim Schmidt

We

Connie Feldman

just

Jim Schmidt

don't know, but would you?

I don't want you to send him a card or drop off like some cookies.

I would.

I think I would.

I wouldn't die.

Connie Feldman

I don't know.

Cookies, that's not good

Jim Schmidt

for your teeth.

Drop

Connie Feldman

something

Jim Schmidt

else off.

I'd probably drop off a rotisserie chicken.

Thank you, Todd.

Yes.

We have like 21 stations, right?

And we compete.

John and I are the best, but we compete on these contests.

So we need our work.

We're second fast.

We went to this awards ceremony.

What's the title of it?

It was got some

Todd

broadcasters

Jim Schmidt

association.

We went down there, tons of people and we took second twice.

Connie Feldman

Well, WBA is a big deal.

Jim Schmidt

It

Todd

is a big

Jim Schmidt

deal.

Todd

Well, that's fine.

I won't spend the money to put your stuff in.

Jim Schmidt

No, we

Todd

gotta

Jim Schmidt

win though.

Johnny and I are a little competitive.

Connie Feldman

Well, you shouldn't be, yeah.

Anyway, get behind them.

Jim Schmidt

At seven o'clock when we do this, Scotty Summer, you're gonna give the keyword away,

Connie Feldman

so we'll

Jim Schmidt

just hold on to

Connie Feldman

that.

Jim Schmidt

Hey, so we talked a lot about kind of what was going on, but at break, we talked about fishing and boating week,

Connie Feldman

which is this

Jim Schmidt

week

Connie Feldman

to kind of get out.

That's your thing.

It is, absolutely.

Fishing and boating, and you don't fish, you said.

Jim Schmidt

No, it's boring, I hate

Connie Feldman

it.

I'm

Jim Schmidt

there for like, let's go.

Connie Feldman

Oh, no, no.

That's my passion, get out there.

I mean, even if you're having a catch in anything, to be out on the water.

Man,

Jim Schmidt

when I was done being mayor, I went and saw a shrink or whatever, what are they called?

Male career counselors.

And the guy's like, you gotta find a hobby.

Connie Feldman

You gotta

Jim Schmidt

find something to do, you know?

Cause that's all you did.

I'm like, yeah.

He did a lot of fishing.

I said, no, I hate fishing.

I said, it's just boring.

It's sitting a boat.

And I've gone before, my brother's a big, big fisherman.

And he's retired.

He said, look, let's go on.

golf, you know, I told you that I'd throw my clubs.

I have no patience for that.

Um, anyway, cause Connie's new, you guys and you listeners, you're gonna hear this, but I'll make this really quick.

They go through all this, they ask you all these questions and what do you like to do?

And you know, I like people and you like to give people things.

And, um, so, okay, well, let me do a little work on this.

And so I went back there and he goes, I think I got it.

Yeah.

I'm like, cool.

Yeah.

He goes, I think you should make candles.

Connie's Friend

Oh,

Jim Schmidt

because I have a place to do it in my house and I like giving stuff away and he'd like thought I was a little creative.

But wait, needless to say, it was the last time I saw him.

Todd

But that is a cool little hobby.

You know what?

It's interesting.

So it's interesting that you like parties, you like to throw parties, you like linens, you know, and you like barbershop, you like.

SPEAKER_??

Yeah.

Todd

But you don't like making candles.

Jim Schmidt

I would think that would go hand in hand.

Yeah, maybe you're in the wrong field.

That's cost me 250 bucks to hear that.

And it does make sense.

It is that you have the area to do it, all this other stuff.

Connie Feldman

Candle making is fun to make candles.

It

Jim Schmidt

is.

And there's some cool things you can put scent in there

Connie Feldman

and, you

Jim Schmidt

know, yeah.

Connie Feldman

You know what's fun?

It's watching.

If you've never seen a little kid catch the first fish.

Oh, man.

I saw that the other week in our cabin and cousin was up.

He caught his first fish, and the rest of the day, little kids running around saying, I caught my own dinner.

I caught my own dinner.

So we filleted up for him and said, all right, here you go.

Awesome.

He hated

Jim Schmidt

it.

Connie Feldman

He hated it?

Yeah.

What kind of fish do you catch up at your place?

Oh, everything.

Mainly bass and crappie, if you perch.

But there's some monster musky in that lake, and I'm

Jim Schmidt

after it.

I would take my kids, would they like put the fish in there?

you know, and then they give them the rod and reel

Connie Feldman

so

Jim Schmidt

that

Connie Feldman

they knew it.

So they learned the truth challenge of the

Jim Schmidt

sport.

They learned it.

Connie Feldman

The fish is already

Jim Schmidt

attached to the line.

Don't look, look over there,

Connie Feldman

kid.

Jim Schmidt

Anyway, that's there where we didn't grow up fishing in my house.

Connie Feldman

See, and maybe that's it.

I grew up with my dad fishing and those are some really great memories.

Jim Schmidt

No, we sang barbershop music, so.

Connie Feldman

Well, I sang barbershop.

Barbershop.

You think you were in band too?

Jim Schmidt

Yeah, we can do that.

Connie Feldman

All right.

Sweet Adalines.

Jim Schmidt

What else do we have going on?

We got some birthdays.

I told you this is, well, I have a lot of weaknesses in this show,

Connie Feldman

but this is really

Jim Schmidt

a big one of them.

Todd

Joy

Jim Schmidt

Coy.

Joe Coy.

Todd

Joe.

Comedian.

Funny, funny guy, right?

Connie Feldman

Really?

I knew he was a comedian.

I'm not familiar

Todd

with it.

He did one of the big award shows this last year,

Connie Feldman

and there

Todd

was a lot of...

Bad things said about him, because some writer strikes.

I'm not sure exactly what happened, but he is a funny guy.

Lisa Hale actually went to see him a couple of weeks ago.

Oh, really?

Was

Jim Schmidt

he?

Yeah.

He

Todd

was in the air.

I think he was in Milwaukee or maybe he was up here.

I can't remember.

Dana Carvey,

Jim Schmidt

you got to know him.

Absolutely.

Yeah, that guy, George Bush.

Yeah, that guy.

The church lady.

Yep.

Oh my gosh.

Connie Feldman

He's 70.

Todd

He's 70 years old.

Connie Feldman

Good mat special.

Good mat special.

Oh, he was hilarious.

Is he still

Jim Schmidt

working?

Connie Feldman

He

Jim Schmidt

is.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Man, we should get him here, because, you know, we get him here on the way up and the way down, so.

Todd

I think he's actually doing a podcast with Kevin Nieland, and they talk

Connie Feldman

about all the

Todd

stuff that went on at Saturday Night Live behind the scenes.

I think it's Kevin Nieland.

Connie Feldman

Well, and he was Garth, wasn't

Todd

he?

Yeah, he

Connie Feldman

was.

Wayne's World?

Wayne's World.

That's right.

He was Garth.

Todd

Excellent.

He did a great Jimmy Stewart is what

Jim Schmidt

he did.

Oh, listen to you.

I told him he could.

You know how you can type in a celebrity and then they will do a birthday wish for you.

Like Brett Favre and, you know, cost money, tell them they like to fish or they like to golf and they're married to so and so or they're dating.

And then they come and they do these unbelievable, like you'd think they were hanging out for a couple of years.

It's like, you know, we got one for my nephew from Brett Favre.

And they never met and he would think they are besties.

I mean, he really does a good job.

I don't know if he still does that, but I told Todd, Jimmy Stewart, you know, he's long gone.

I said, just do it.

You know, he sounds, make it Jimmy Stewart.

Can you imagine giving

Todd

that to your mom?

The Jimmy

Connie Feldman

Stewart, you

Todd

know.

I do a lot of stuff around the holidays, commercials and stuff like that.

Connie Feldman

Oh, that's neat.

I want a birthday wish

Todd

from Melissa Atheridge.

Connie Feldman

All

Todd

right, we'll

Connie Feldman

get that done.

Yeah, chop that up.

Thanks.

Todd

I can't tell you how many people could not believe that you did not know who Melissa Atheridge

Connie Feldman

was last

Todd

because Melissa Atheridge had a birthday and you didn't know

Jim Schmidt

who she was

Todd

when

Jim Schmidt

you said it now

Todd

Oh, yeah,

Jim Schmidt

yeah, okay, that's right.

That's right.

I got it

Connie Feldman

All

Todd

right another birthday Wayne Brady Wayne Brady whose line is it anyway and now the host of let's make

Connie Feldman

it let's make a deal and

Todd

yeah

Jim Schmidt

Wayne Brady the name clicked.

He was I saw him in Hamilton.

Was he?

Oh, yeah, he was great.

Yeah, it was great.

It was when the Chicago kids saw him.

He was great and he signed a what a poster or something for them.

So yeah, he's great.

And he's he's

Civic Media Announcer

weird.

Though

Jim Schmidt

his sex identity is weird.

Like he calls himself.

Anyway, his what identities were his sex identity is is Wayne Brady.

Todd

And he's pansexual.

Jim Schmidt

That's what it is.

You'll hear that a lot.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Todd

it's me

Jim Schmidt

all right All

Todd

right on to Zachary Quinto Well, I think it's pronounced Quinto.

He is an actor.

He played the young Spock in the

Connie Feldman

Star Wars.

Okay.

All right.

I Didn't know who you all

Jim Schmidt

right.

Well, happy birthday young Spock

All right, so here we go, another Tex.

I feel a little picked on today.

Maybe the mayor should make and give away.

No, that's funny.

Connie Feldman

All right.

Well, my nose is not here.

Somebody's got to step up.

Jim Schmidt

I

Connie Feldman

do

Jim Schmidt

like to grill.

Hey, I made yesterday.

I like to cook, but it's hot out and you kind of want something more like a cold salad or something.

Get this.

Todd, you'll like this.

I'll bring some.

I don't have any more left.

I made a Mexican shrimp salad.

And so I made the shrimp course.

And then I made some Donovan, some pasta with presto.

Anyway, but you take the shrimp and you, it's awesome.

You put in some cucumbers, some jalapeno, tomatoes.

And this is where I kind of blew it, red onions, you know, diced cucumbers.

And you mix this all together with olive oil, you put the shrimp in there.

And you serve it cold.

And it's really, really good.

But I thought it needed a little something.

You always do.

I know, I do.

I never leave a recipe alone.

I

Todd

like the emerald

Connie Feldman

agasi,

Todd

where

Connie Feldman

he's

Todd

got

Connie Feldman

to do some bam in

Todd

there, you know?

Connie Feldman

Yeah, toss some burritos in there.

That's what you need in a Mexican salad.

Jim Schmidt

Yeah, no, this was just a salad, the celery, the cucumbers.

Connie Feldman

So

Jim Schmidt

where did you add to it?

Garlic and I took too much garlic too much.

I sliced it up and Probably should have made a little smaller pieces of garlic, but it then it was it was garlic from I think it's from Wayne it was

It was a little, you know, garlic can be a little stronger.

You're dependent on the batch.

And I think it was pretty strong.

So I sliced that up and put it in there

Connie Feldman

and I was like, eh.

But so if you smell it, I

Jim Schmidt

brushed my teeth a bunch of times, I chewed gum this morning.

Connie Feldman

But I just,

Jim Schmidt

if I, it's okay, you're just

Todd

sweating

Jim Schmidt

it this

Connie Feldman

morning.

It's oozing from his pores.

Jim Schmidt

But anyway, that, that Mexican shrimp cocktail is, is the bomb.

Todd

Got another text this morning, Jim, after seeing a few food trucks at Meat Fest, I'm thinking you should open a linen truck.

You can sell linens to people that are eating at the bear picnic tables.

I think that could work Sparky.

I

Jim Schmidt

think that that we're gonna talk about that at the seven o'clock hour that Meat Fest that was a great event.

So we'll get to that just a second What else are you a cook Connie?

Connie Feldman

Yeah, I cook

Jim Schmidt

do you grill I do so are you into them?

Hot dogs brats chicken.

What do you

Connie Feldman

make?

I make a little bit of everything But my husband does a lot better steaks than I do because I like them seared on the outside and then medium rare

and mine always get overcooked.

Jim Schmidt

Oh, that's the worst

Connie Feldman

because you can't go backwards.

I know

Jim Schmidt

it.

Yeah.

No, when you go, when you cross that line, say, say, with adding a little too much garlic

Connie Feldman

to your salad.

I make a mean burger though.

Do you?

A little onion soup mix in there.

Oh, yeah.

See, that's

Jim Schmidt

awesome.

Oh, it's mellow.

I might get spent all day in the kitchen, so.

But that's the other thing he said.

I shouldn't talk about hobbies, you know, to this.

Connie Feldman

Well, there you go.

Career

Jim Schmidt

counselor.

No, he, no, he, what did he say?

because I eat at that and I wake too much.

You know what I mean?

And I got to kind of watch mine.

Connie Feldman

But I look

Jim Schmidt

good, don't I?

Connie Feldman

You look great.

Thank

Jim Schmidt

you.

All right, that's good.

Connie Feldman

How much do I get for that, Todd?

No, I was talking about fishing.

Jim Schmidt

See, you

Connie's Friend

do

Jim Schmidt

love to fish.

But I...

Connie Feldman

Okay.

We are picking on you.

Well, we are.

Jim Schmidt

I've been,

Connie Feldman

you know, we're

Jim Schmidt

working on it.

Todd's down, what, 25, 30 pounds?

I think I'm going to eat.

So anyway, we a lot of work to

Todd

do.

Jim Schmidt

I,

Todd

however, am not using any kind of help.

I'm just, you know, doing it on my own.

I'm not shooting up every week or whatever you have to do.

Is

Connie Feldman

it weekly?

You have to shoot up with

Todd

that stuff?

Shoot up.

Connie Feldman

I don't know.

I, you know, I don't qualify for it.

And, you know, who knows if, you know, I would love to get a shot.

Jim

Jim Schmidt

should know.

Is it every week that you

Connie Feldman

shoot up?

Jim Schmidt

Yeah, it is.

Connie Feldman

It's every

Jim Schmidt

week.

And if you qualify, just you qualify.

Everybody qualifies.

You just, there's ways you can do that.

Connie Feldman

Wow, well, it was like 1500 bucks a week, and I'm like, I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to do it the old fashioned way.

Go to

Todd

the back of Jim's

Connie's Friend

crying,

Jim Schmidt

he'll open up the truck, he'll

Connie Feldman

get you set up.

I can

Jim Schmidt

get you set up for 200 a month.

Connie Feldman

Well, just put him in Todd's drug compartment at his old house.

Can you

Jim Schmidt

put a needle in your body, can you do that?

Yes, that I can do.

Okay, some people get freaked out about that.

And then they're gonna go to a pill form of a Zempick.

Not as, I shouldn't say that, I talked to my doctor about it.

Because some people don't like their verse to the needles.

They just won't do

Connie Feldman

that.

The

Jim Schmidt

other wife or their husband put it in for

Connie Feldman

them.

Well, you know, but also the side effects of that can be can be really bad.

Some digestive issues and, you know, it's

Jim Schmidt

you.

Yeah, you forget stuff.

No, I'm not forgetting stuff.

Connie Feldman

I don't.

I don't.

They give it

Jim Schmidt

as they have to with every medication.

They give you the the downside.

Yeah.

But none zero none none of that stuff happened to me.

Connie Feldman

Wow.

Well, good.

Good for you.

Jim Schmidt

Anyway.

Yeah.

And I like, I like the doctor.

Yeah.

I got to the point where I will try anything to be

Connie Feldman

like, I want to

Jim Schmidt

be

Connie Feldman

it.

Jim Schmidt

Like I belong at like 170.

And what are you now?

182.

Well,

Connie Feldman

it's not far off,

Jim Schmidt

but I was two.

We were all over 200.

Well,

Todd

where were you at?

Was it 220 something?

I got.

I brought

Jim Schmidt

that book with me.

I'm going to try and find that because we weighed ourselves in here.

We had a scale and everything.

John and Todd and I, and we would go on once a week and then the scale, I don't think the scale was working right because it kept going up and we just thought what the hell with it.

So we took a scale out.

So we don't have a scale in here anymore, but I got to find that because there was a high point in.

We've got pictures to prove it, too, right, Todd?

Oh, absolutely.

Let me

Todd

show you a picture of Jim.

Oh, wow.

He's got laterhosen on.

Laterhosen?

I did.

There was a special pouch.

That's all I can say.

Connie Feldman

Oh, geez.

To get the pouch.

I was

Todd

talking about my gut.

Same

Connie Feldman

thing.

So that rotisserie chicken.

Pouch hasn't

Jim Schmidt

changed.

All right.

We're going to be right back.

It's Connie in the mirror.

Scotty Summer

You're

Civic Media Announcer

listening to Civic Media.

Find the latest news, information and archives of all your favorite shows on the Civic Media website, civicmedia.us.

Jim Schmidt

Welcome back everybody.

Connie the mayor, Johnny's still out and we are gonna get through today with some great guests coming up.

Did you see the lineup

Connie's Friend

here?

Jim Schmidt

I did, I did.

I'm not too sure about Tarle Knight.

He runs the Tarleton, he's been on here before.

Sometimes those guys who work in the evenings aren't morning people.

Connie Feldman

And this is pretty early in the

Jim Schmidt

morning.

It is, so I've invited him to come on but if he doesn't come on at seven,

Since you're kind of new to this whole gig, you know, and with Civic Media, we just, I thought I'd put a little quiz together for you.

Connie Feldman

Oh boy, oh boy.

Little

Jim Schmidt

Wisconsin trivia, Northeast Wisconsin, you know, and, you know, like I told you, Oldest City.

Connie Feldman

Well, I'm in Northeast Wisconsin.

I know who you are, that's right.

I should be, I should

Jim Schmidt

be old to nail this.

So, I know you, yeah, I know, no, Johnny didn't.

Yeah, you passed the drug test, didn't you?

Connie Feldman

Yeah, okay, so you're

Jim Schmidt

good, we can get, we can bring you on.

There's a drug test?

Todd got exempt because he's the boss.

But anyway, that's, like, what's hazelnut coffee, what'd you get?

Todd just brought her coffee, never brings me coffee.

I've only been here two years.

Connie Feldman

You're the one who gets coffee for everyone, fancy coffee next door, and you come in except Todd and I have never gotten

Todd

any.

She mentioned that to me right away

Connie Feldman

this morning.

For my guests.

Todd

Yeah,

Jim Schmidt

I do.

And sometimes I tape that in the afternoon too.

And a lot of people, I'm amazed how many people want coffee in the afternoon.

Cool, iced coffee.

Yeah, because I've got for my show, which is on Sundays.

We'll talk about that later.

But I interviewed the mayor of DPR and the engineer from the county on the southern bridge.

Connie Feldman

Oh, yes.

You know, after you talked about that.

183 million dollars.

Yeah.

And I think everybody's heard about it, but nobody

Jim Schmidt

knows about

Connie Feldman

it.

You know what I mean?

You're right.

When we were talking last week, I, you know... And it's only 50 years in the making,

Jim Schmidt

actually 60.

And I'm going to write about that too, but...

There's things in government that take that long.

I'm not kidding you.

You know, that's too long.

Connie Feldman

Well, it's fascinating, though.

I would love to pick your brain about just kind of the inner workings of government that the average person doesn't see.

Jim Schmidt

Yeah, that's taken a long time.

It's kind of akin to the coal piles.

Yeah.

That's been worked on all of 50, probably more than that, closer to 60 years, if I think about it, because I know Romy Denison worked on that.

And that's got to happen.

I think the deadline on the coal piles is tomorrow.

And this has got to get

Connie Feldman

done.

It's been extended.

Yeah.

You know, my personal opinion, I, you know, I don't want to, but we have such a beautiful waterfront opportunity in our city.

It just, it's a- Look what Oshkosh has done with the

Jim Schmidt

waterfront and just even smaller, you know, Oshkosh is a big city.

And that took some time.

It did.

I mean, it was not always nice and they're still working on parts of it, but- It's your boy can had coal piles, you know, and then that's where the Blue Harbor is.

Yep.

But like you said, that is not

inexpensive to do.

Now they had a little bit of an advantage because the people using the coal didn't want the coal anymore.

We still have people who rely on coal and

Civic Media Announcer

our coal

Jim Schmidt

comes in and we ship it down to our, actually our listening area.

A lot of that goes to Appleton, Oshkosh.

So we need coal.

There's people that, oh no, coal's gonna be a thing in the past.

It's still the cheapest form of energy for some of these

Connie Feldman

people.

And Green Bay is a port city.

Not taking away from that, but there has to be another solution.

Jim Schmidt

Right.

And I agree we're a port city and I think you have to weigh that.

And that's one of the

Connie Feldman

issues is

Jim Schmidt

that let's use this new land that we got from WPS because they decommissioned their... So let's use this for port.

And the city's like, wait a minute, we've been working on this.

Let's use this to store coal.

And C. Rice said, let's use that

Connie Feldman

to store coal.

So

Jim Schmidt

that's the, I think that's the rub.

And I haven't been in it for a couple of years, but I had the mayor in here and offered.

to sort of Paul too.

We both wrote a letter to the county board saying, hey, look at guys.

Because that opportunity for the city, the city is doing well, but nothing like land on the waterfront

Connie Feldman

to

Jim Schmidt

really up our game.

I mean,

Connie Feldman

you're talking

Jim Schmidt

housing, maybe $200 million of development.

Connie Feldman

And look where we are in, you know, in the state of Wisconsin, right on the Bay of Green Bay.

To me, it's huge.

It's one of the things that brought me to this area.

Jim Schmidt

It is.

And that could be...

I know you're just talking to your friend again in San Diego, but they have that whole seaport

Connie Feldman

village down

Jim Schmidt

there.

And that's just, you know, I don't know that we're going to have something like that with the docs and all the restaurants.

I mean, that's San Diego, but there's a lot we could do with that land.

And I don't know from, like I said, housing, retail.

Connie Feldman

I wonder how long coal piles would last in San Diego.

See, right?

They won't even let them

Jim Schmidt

in.

Connie Feldman

I mean,

Jim Schmidt

it's, but so that, that'd be interesting.

We'll talk about that tomorrow because tomorrow's the deadline on that.

So, yeah.

Yeah, I.

got an opinion on it.

I think everybody does and it sure seems to be leaning one way when I talk to people.

Even at that cocktail party that came up.

And it's funny because you serve an office for some time and I think people forgot it left.

Because what the hell is going on with those co-pods?

I don't know.

I want to move too.

But anyway, people are super nice but they sometimes call you about things that you're out of the loop.

Like if somebody's called you about...

The anchoring at Fox News, you would say, yeah, I don't know that

Connie Feldman

anymore.

And they do people all the time will talk to me about various on-air people.

And I'm like, well, you know, don't know.

Jim Schmidt

Out of my realm.

All right.

So anyway, let's talk about today.

We've got a little trivia, so Todd and I are going to screen you a little bit to see if you are civic material.

I'll help you out.

Thank

Todd

you.

Jim Schmidt

Anything to make you look.

Todd

And

Jim Schmidt

Todd's thinking, why would we start now?

Because Johnny and I, we had a fog of mirror, and here we are.

OK, Bill Quackenbush.

Is that his name?

That is correct.

All right.

He is with the Ho-Chunk Nation, and he's the tribal historic provider.

preservation officer, and they have an event coming up.

And the whole chunk, people, when I don't, when I don't, they were here first.

So very cool

Connie Feldman

tribe.

And the history is fascinating.

Jim Schmidt

It's unbelievable what these guys have done.

So that's going to be fun talking to him.

And of course, we got that Scotty Summer coming up.

So stick around for that.

That's coming.

And then, what is Corey?

Corey and

Todd

Amy are in from HME Home Medical today.

They want to talk about making your home more accessible as you age,

Jim Schmidt

Jim,

Todd

right?

Gotta make those

Jim Schmidt

accessibility things.

So I can wave to people when I take my little chair

Todd

upstairs?

That's

Jim Schmidt

right.

Ain't gonna happen.

That will not happen.

Connie Feldman

I was thinking last night is hauling my 10th load of laundry up two flights of stairs.

You know.

Ranch, ranch, ranch house.

Oh my gosh, I'm in the same boat.

Todd

I'm in the same

Jim Schmidt

boat.

I got a lot of

Todd

steps.

Connie Feldman

Well, I do too, but I like it, you know.

It keeps you

Jim Schmidt

young.

That's my theory

Connie Feldman

on that.

Does

Jim Schmidt

it?

No, but it's just my theory.
