Oh, I said I

You

know,

it's good about growing up in a small town a small community What's that that when you get something that if it moved to if it was came to Green Bay Nobody would pay attention or big deal real York's but like I remember when Mr. Donut.

Oh my goodness came to town.

I still remember the jingle

1973.

Mr. Donut Donut is the things we love to eat, eat.

Mr. Donut.

Remember that?

No.

I don't.

I'm gonna look it up though.

Yeah,

will.

That was big on W-U-P-Y radio.

Whoopie radio.

How did Eshperming, Michigan?

How did Mr. Donut do?

I don't know, but that was like, when somebody you talk about, because in those days, there were no, just don't get somebody to go to a bakery or whatever, but when there was a dedicated donut and they had bring in a box of donuts, it's like, oh.

You'd have those coconut ones.

And

then the Krispy Kreme just so took off and then that Atkinson diet came in.

Atkinson killed it.

Or Atkinson.

Atkinson.

Atkinson.

Yeah.

And that did.

Wow.

Were

you all that?

Were you all that something over Krispy Kreme's the way people were?

No, but I was.

Me either.

Did you get into the Atkinson diet though?

I still am.

Everybody.

So it made me the man I am today.

Okay, so I did

find

a jingle real quick.

Here we go.

I don't know if this is the one though.

This says it's from 1985.

Oh, no,

this is 1973, 74.

74.

Mr. Donut Donut.

You

never heard of that.

45 seconds or that.

Yeah, it's good.

What?

I just...

I don't know.

I just you seem like the kind of guy that had a job where people would always be bringing you and don't Hey, mr. Mayor.

I'd like to talk to you about a possible

like it.

Yeah, you

know treats, but I don't really I'll tell you something.

I like let me take some Tony I'm gonna I'm gonna step out get a cup of coffee by my desk I come back and we'll pick up my newspaper if there's an envelope and it doesn't a mr. Donut donuts under there.

Yeah, we could have a deal

Donut and fondle

a blueberry donut remember they had like blueberry

favorite No, I like the

Neighborhood bakery that's what I like the stuff in the box.

Uh-huh crispy cream.

No, that was good.

Oh, I just

I just I didn't people I mean people do I remember people saying we don't need to do a golf tournament or something We're gonna do a crispy cream sale, right and there'd be a line three blocks long

Yeah, it had its it had its moment, but

are they still a thing crispy cream?

Oh, yeah, right

doesn't

Quick trip.

No,

are those okay?

What are they

do their own glazers?

They do their own.

All right.

There's a lot different though.

Is there I

think they're pretty similar

pretty

similar You could light up the lights by saying that I think you know some people who are donut people would

yeah

would argue with you on that so but I don't That's right.

They have their own bakery and point, right?

Oh, I don't know.

Yeah, who does the quick trip ones?

Oh,

I didn't know

that

Oh, really?

They don't know what they're doing.

OK.

You think Circle K is going to make a player?

I do.

Because in Arizona, there was Circle K and 7-Elevens.

And that's all there was back in the day.

But up here, it's new, right?

So people are going to

have to use it.

Circle

K, yeah.

But don't truckers love Circle K?

Well, I don't see a lot of trucks in QuickTrip.

Or maybe I do.

I just think Circle K, to me, is more truck stop like when you're.

Yeah.

You'd find them down there that way.

But they had like a monopoly on the market, it seemed like.

Who did?

Circle K in the Southwest.

Oh yeah, I mean, they're still big.

Yeah.

Just not up here.

There's a few stores up here, Green Bay, Appleton, Oshkosh.

But it's like, when I saw that first one pop up, in fact, it was when they came to our, with Michael, Michael Friedman, the Packer House.

And

they, yeah.

And it's like, I didn't know you guys still existed.

You know what I mean?

It's like, so it's taken a lot of years to move this far north, but it'll be interesting.

Yeah.

Yeah, with all the other stores, you know, they I don't know how they're doing here in Green Bay, but you know, they could subsidize it for a year or two.

You know, to extraction.

It's not like it's a standoff.

Oh,

but they're kind of popping up.

They are.

It's not one of them.

In the purish, ledge view ish.

You know what I mean?

If you keep going down, you had hit Wright's town

right where

we're talking about that.

Yeah.

We were talking about yesterday.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Circle K. Isn't that.

I don't know.

I thought it was.

Okay.

Okay.

Anyway.

Oh, there's Michael.

Hey, happy Friday from Chicago.

Have a great weekend, fellas.

Michael.

He's always so he is.

I was just gonna say he wouldn't

know mad.

He text in, you know, New York and the weather

and Italy.

Yeah,

Italy,

Morocco.

Yeah, Bali.

It's unbelievable.

I got this.

Oh, God.

Oh, I got hate Todd.

Who's this?

Vicki John without a lid on his coffee.

Oh Vicki you don't even know what's happened already

You don't even know

you don't even know

tell the story.

You're a good

storyteller You are Okay, so I brought in my own mug because I bought and I actually thought I was gonna take a picture Because you guys thought I was a little oh does John have an issue yesterday when I told where I bought that the what flavor is this hazelnut

Hazelnut

that you brought in here.

So I bought my own hazelnut grounds that I make my own coffee, right?

Okay, and I bought hazelnut cream and they look exactly like and that's why when you guys like are you okay that you poured coffee grounds into your coffee?

Yeah, and that can happen in but so anyway, but so I so I was okay, so I was

I was up at four o'clock this morning.

Working.

4.30, working.

Todd even knows this.

And because it's D-Day.

Today is the 81st anniversary of D-Day.

The invasion, of course, of Normandy.

And I want to honor that because I've got excerpts from a lot of the different guys from my books about what it's all local guys for to honor D-Day.

So we're going to be doing that, OK?

So I was up and, you know, make some coffee.

So I'm, you know, wide awake doing it and everything like that.

I only got, I only have one cup in my apartment.

And this is it.

It was given to me as a gift.

For those who can't see it.

It's like brass knuckles

on a cup.

That is what it is.

And so it was through

separate office fighting.

Do you feel nervous?

I actually bought some real ones one time did you in South Carolina?

We're at a basketball tournament.

I went to the second biggest flea market all of northern, uh, South Carolina

It was really great and I bought some brass knuckles and they said they build them as paper weights desk office paper weights Boy, those can do some damage.

I know they're illegal.

I still got them if they're illegal.

Those are illegal real one.

Yeah Well, I don't know if it's illegal to own them, but I don't think if you punch somebody with him It's like you're using a lethal weapon.

Yeah, I would go.

Yeah.

So anyway, but anyway, so um, so okay So I got my own cup instead of the you know, the regular thingy, right?

So once you assume this has this

But holds about the same as a regular plastic cup.

It doesn't that plastic cup.

Well, whatever those are whatever they're made out of.

Was that eight ounce?

But it's so it start overflowing.

That's

even yelts.

Oh, we got a problem.

So I'm overflowing.

So it goes all over the stuff.

Todd has to grab the paper towels.

He's

a bit too many.

You hit 12

ounces.

Probably obvious.

It's smaller.

I think you hit 10.

Because

let's be honest that we we literally couldn't move it without its billy and you said go you know suck some of it I've said my nose is too big it wouldn't fit between the things you would need a lot of issues

yeah six in the morning yeah

so so we do that it's all over the floor Todd tries transferring he did not do a great

job no

even admitted going well no you admit it

I said I'm not great at this I thought I did a great job considering that is a curved cup

And it was full to the brim, Jim.

It was literally coming over the sides like

a beer,

TV beer.

You keep telling yourself that, Todd.

So anyway, long story short, I'm wiping up everything Todd spills, okay?

So he must be late for breakfast.

So good.

That spills.

Okay.

So I wipe up everything.

Okay.

And then you didn't wipe up

everything.

I will, well, wiped it all up.

Who got the paper towels?

You got it.

But I came out and actually did it because I want it done right.

And then, so then what happens, John, you put in your creamer

and your sugar

and

overflow again.

No, as he's walking away, I could trail him all the way into the studio because there's little drops, drops of creamer.

So then, but and then I went,

John can't be verified.

Yeah, I can see it from in

his defense.

He did step up and wipe that out now.

I probably have to go back and redo it, but

So that's our Friday when you carry it.

Don't look at the cup, right?

Then it won't spill

we mean

when you're carrying it and it's like full like maybe have a 16th of an inch or something like playroom Don't look at it.

Just walk and it won't spill you serious serious

Don't look at it.

Don't look at it.

Talk to any bartender waitress.

You don't look at the cup.

Don't look at it.

Why was that?

Why does that make you nervous?

Makes you nervous, messes you up.

You start to say, why?

Wait, I'm here.

They should be here.

Don't look at it.

Just walk straight and it's not going to spill.

Wow.

I'm going to try that.

And it will

work.

Done.

Next cup by

makeover.

I'm going to try that.

I'm going to walk all the way around the office.

I won't look at it.

Wonderful.

Yeah.

This day is just getting better for Todd.

We've had a couple of texts coming in.

There's some problems with our app this morning.

So if you're tuning

in

to WGBW or WYSS, you may not be hearing us right now.

So, you

know.

But we're live over the airwaves?

We're on the airwaves.

We're on the stream, the video stream.

Got texture.

This is his only mug?

I have a minor mug and I don't even drink coffee.

Snarky Bryant.

Okay.

Thank you, Brian.

Good evening.

Um, but it is a beautiful Friday out there.

How yesterday afternoon was just perfect, wasn't it?

Right?

Just perfect.

It was perfect.

Perfect.

We just just stand just right here.

Yep.

Going to Time Warp.

We just stay like this always 16 green Bay, 63 napkins, 16 Oshkosh forecast partly cloudy high in the mid to upper seventies.

Doesn't get any better than that.

You're going to be at a golf tournament, which is perfect.

That's just what I wanna do.

And then tomorrow's gonna be perfect too, right?

Because tomorrow's all the graduation parties.

I've got my birthday party.

There's just a lot of parties going on tomorrow.

But then I think Sunday is not as great.

I think.

Let me tell you something.

When we had Dom's graduation party, it was an event.

It was an event.

And you wanna know what the highlight of that entire thing was?

You.

Nope.

The entire thing.

Rain.

Nick's fried cheese curd stand.

Really?

Yeah, right.

Oh, my God, because people had never tasted fried.

You know, once came down from the U.P.

They never tasted.

They're like, what is this?

Well, what are these?

Who created these?

You hire Nick.

And he had a nice young lady that was doing it.

You know, he has different people and everything.

And you want to talk about something you make your party a hit, get a higher next people to do fried cheese curds.

Maybe.

Hmm.

Maybe I'll do that on when.

I talked about that last night.

I was at

a meeting last night.

Yep.

And they said invited

a

couple of people.

They really shouldn't use that

term.

It'd

be like sausage fest.

Okay.

Yeah.

I anyway, I, uh, I'm gonna

talk to you about

that.

That's right.

That can make something very special.

All

right.

That's good idea.

I have to tell you the story.

We're all over the place this morning and I apologize.

Which is

something unusual.

Yeah.

Um, I listened to a radio show out of the UK and they have something over there called the, um, sausage.

and cider festival so cider like beer cider right sausage and cider festival you can go you eat sausage like brats

and

all that kind of stuff and cider but you have to be very careful on how you say that sausage and cider festival

Have

you gotten any not yet one was one was I got an alt I got in a minor altercation

All right.

Happy Donut Day, but it is also the anniversary of D-Day.

I'm going to be reading some excerpts from some of the local gentlemen that I interviewed where they were on this day in 1944.

Hi, I'm mid to upper 70s.

It is donut day.

It is drive-in movie day.

Man, you tell me the drive.

Oh, man.

Yesterday was the anniversary because a guy put this on his Facebook about

like 1972 or 73 on this day.

What a great day with the music.

Todd, do you want to know what the number one song was this day, 1972?

It was, there was a lot of little popsy kind of music going on.

Yeah.

What

was it?

Candyman.

Oh, love that song.

Candyman, song sung blue.

Remember all the songs?

Yes.

But anyway, it was anniversary of the first day I ever had a car for a date.

That's, I understand.

You told me that story.

I know.

So I went to the

driver by myself.

You went to a driving by yourself.

Okay.

I think it's like going to

a buffet by yourself.

Okay.

There's certain things you do with someone else.

No, let me tell you something.

Are you

talking into your mic?

Cause I'm not getting any loud.

Oh.

Thank you.

Sorry.

I

was wrong

with

me.

John was said he went to a drive-in by himself and I said that

first stone who hasn't got to a damn drive-in by themselves Jim

never did never and I never been to a buffet by myself either Okay,

the worst part of that, okay?

Wasn't going to the drive-in by myself Okay, the worst part was that the people that run the drive-in Didn't believe I was by myself made me open the trunk because I thought I was sneaking in kids

I think when they saw the trunk was empty.

They felt bad.

Did they let you in for free?

It's okay.

Just just go ahead.

That was the worst part.

Remember the movie?

Yeah.

Okay.

Terrible movie.

Maybe the worst, one of the worst movies of all time.

What was it?

Last house on the left.

I don't think I know

that one.

No redeeming values.

It should be bad.

It was terrible, terrible, terrible.

Uh, but then you know what the sequel was?

No, that was a sequel.

You know what the first movie was?

It was one of the all-time great movies, even though it was made on a budget of about $100.

Billy Jack.

Remember Billy Jack?

Go ahead and hate your neighbors.

Go ahead and meet your friend.

But do it in the name of heaven.

You can justify it in the end.

There won't be any trumpets blowing.

Come the judgment

day.

And the muddy morning after, one tin soldier rides away.

I said it was a Friday morning after.

Is it Monday?

Friday morning after.

Is it Monday?

Monday morning after, Friday morning after.

Ty, remember that song?

Yeah, I'm trying to think of the words.

But not an after, one tin soldier rides away.

I get that.

All right.

Yeah.

So

what?

The bloody morning

after.

Bloody morning after.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Billy Jack.

Um, so Drive-In Movie, I loved Drive-In Movies.

So that was like a regular thing.

That was just phenomenal Drive-In Movies back then.

I mean, that's there weren't a lot of things to do back then.

So something like that.

And a lot of times you didn't watch the movie.

You just hung out at the snack bar and, you know, did whatever, you know, walked around.

No, I don't think so.

I would.

I thought the speakers were no good.

You

know, it wasn't

clear.

I

mean, the windows would always get foggy or whatever.

You had

a big movie as an outdoor.

It was Clockwork Orange.

Oh, yeah.

That was a freaky movie.

That was a really freaky movie.

I remember we'd come to Green Bay and you could drive down, I think it was military or somewhere and there's a big huge drive-in.

Kind of behind where that family restaurant is, kind of the corner of VELP in military.

I

don't remember

that, but yeah.

Sure, I remember there being a big huge screen.

It's like damn is that thing big?

And that was like closer.

Oh man wishes in Green Bay look the size that outdoor theater I think they still have one in freedom Don't they yeah, I know if it's

yeah

freedom, but there's yeah, there's another one Well, I get the one up in Dork County Fish Creek.

Yeah, that was pretty cool.

Yeah, that was fun

It's like that in the old bowling alleys you guys that stuff you just

Get rid of a lot of them, but not all of them, because when the fewer left.

Yeah, if I ever moved to two rivers, I'm going to reopen Rudy's.

Yeah, Rudy's Lanes.

I

want to go to Rudy's Lanes, man.

Today is yo-yo day, something I could never do.

Yeah, that's.

Could anybody do that?

Boy, were those popular.

Oh, man, there's always some kid that could show off.

A little bit of a chick magnet if you could really do the walking

dog and all that.

No question.

Do you remember when Dick Ball would do those presentations?

He was the king of he was the world champion yo, yo guy and he'd I forget what show he was on and I was just it was unbelievable It fall was his name.

He's amazing.

It looks easy.

Yeah, and you try it It's like if you get up once or twice, yeah, two things and the only two athletic things I haven't been able to do in my life Yo, yo and frisbees

Yeah,

yo yo and frisbees.

Yeah,

those guys that do frisbee golf.

Yeah

Amazing.

That's crazy.

Unbelievable.

Have you seen some of the videos where they'll go down and make a 45 degree turn and then a hard left or something and drops into the thing?

That's unbelievable.

Wow.

It's higher education day.

Very nice.

I mean, you guy going for your doctorate.

That's

your... I don't know.

Let me get that.

I was telling Todd, I was telling John that to be 10 years, you need to up your degrees a little bit.

So there was this, I was just telling John yesterday, I was at TC doing some work and there was a guy out there that's like, hey, look, man, I can help you do this and just, you know, we'll set up some time together.

So I go to yesterday to do some other work and I'm like, hey, where's, you know, so-and-so?

And he's not here anymore.

So don't think that's gonna happen because I'm gonna, I don't know, let's see.

Let me tell you something.

I can get that.

Trust me on this.

We shared some stories beforehand.

The only thing worse than that is how many times somebody asked to either come and speak at a place or to do a benefit or whatever.

I mean, hi, I'm here.

Where's Bob?

Oh, yeah, Bob's no longer here.

Who are you again?

I'm John.

That's good.

Oh, that's a good feeling.

Frozen food day.

Today

1930 was the very first day that frozen foods were introduced in our country by Mr. Birdseye.

No kidding.

Yeah, how much money that guy

made.

They did a test in one state to see how like 30 stores would do with it and it took off from there.

Like when I was a kid, greatest treat you could possibly have.

Frozen dinner.

Yep.

So that was all turkey.

And of course today is D-Day anniversary 81 years today.

Welcome back beautiful Friday out there six degrees gray Bay 63 now to 60 in Oshkosh High and

in the mid to upper seventies.

Oshkosh is a place to be this weekend.

We're being joined by the one and only Lisa Hale, newest skill weekend preview coming up.

Lisa, good morning.

What's the weather like in Oshkosh right now?

Cloudy.

All right.

But it's going to be a beautiful day.

And you guys got a lot of things going on.

Man, we had Pat Tracy on.

It's like, you got, that's the hub this weekend.

We are, we are hopping.

Hopping in Oshkosh,

but even if there was nothing going on in Oshkosh, Patreus, he would make it like there's a lot going.

Is that the truth?

He is, man, it's like

that energy.

Yeah, he's amazing.

Love him.

I didn't know you guys host the world's biggest fishing tournament until yesterday.

Well, I mean, like Winnebago, we're right on the border, right on the shores of it.

And all these people come in and lots of boats on the water.

You got a

Guinness Book of World

Records.

Yeah, that's amazing.

That's amazing.

Pretty cool.

By the way, today, I don't know if you know this, Lisa.

Today is National Donut Day, National Drive and Movie Day, Yo-Yo Day, Higher Education Day, Frozen Food Day, of course, the anniversary of D-Day.

It's Paul Giamatti's birthday, 58.

He's good in everything he does, isn't he?

He's a great character actor.

Yeah, he's just great.

And even in the things that he does have the lead in, they're not

what I would call Hollywood movies.

I mean, they are, but you know, they're usually off beat and he's, he's a great actor.

What's our favorite movie that he was in though?

Cause he played the program director in Howard Stearns.

Was that him?

I didn't even realize that.

Yup.

Debby NBC.

Well, that was him.

That was him.

I interviewed his dad one time right before he died.

His dad was major league baseball commissioner.

Yeah.

And he was in Milwaukee County Stadium opening day, I want to say 88.

And it was right during the Pete Rose thing.

And that guy took so much, he ended up having a heart attack, I think in his office.

And a lot of people think it was because of the stress with the whole Pete Rose thing.

Wow.

I

remember that.

Wow.

Yeah.

I do.

Yeah.

Big baseball.

I remember that.

Yes.

A lot of people, like that was national news, a lot

of people.

And you know what I remember?

I thought about this.

This should almost relate to you having your handler type guys.

And remember, we're down to a little cluster thing in the Fielder County Stadium.

And one guy wouldn't stop.

He was a guy from Madison, I remember.

He was like,

well, what about

this?

And everyone would talk about a little bit more, hey, opening day.

And this guy wouldn't stop.

And his handler finally said, Mr. Giamatti, it's time we have that thing.

We got that thing.

It's like perfect wingman.

Perfect wingman.

Yes.

Speaking of wingmen and people who are going to be, you know, poking in at a topic.

Today we've got a great topic to poke in at.

It has nothing to do with New Whisker weekend.

But I do want to ask Jim, while I have you here, how do you feel about the the result from last night's vote?

on the coal piles moving.

I was there and so was Paul Jayden who was before I was mayor and then of course Eric was there as well so the three of us and it was weird we're the only three living mayors but we were all there and recognized that everybody's been working on this so I didn't see the deal I mean they they went into closed session kicked us out so we're all standing in the lobby talking to each other which is kind of fun and went back in there then they voted on it and and approved it so I'm not exactly sure Lisa what it is but

The fact of the matter is those co-piles won't be there in probably three years.

They'll be relocated.

But I don't know how much land it's 35 acres.

I don't know if the city got all 35, if they got a portion of it.

But Pat Evans was there.

He's been on the county board for about 22 years.

He's coming on right after seven.

Yeah, it was, it was, something's going to happen, Lisa.

And it's, I mean, God, it's been, we've been working on this thing for, I'm not kidding you, 60 years maybe, 70.

So I feel good about it.

I just haven't seen the deal, but the bottom line is the coal

piles are

moving

Yeah, the coal piles are moving what they're gonna do is they're going to expand and and work on the pulley and power plant site the site and Then they're going to take 16 acres of that and lease it to see rice who will then move salt From their Fox River terminal To the pulley and power plant site so that they can move the coal from the waterfront

to where they have the salt now.

I

bet the Yacht Club was behind that.

Because they're right across from the Pulio plant and, you know, dust.

But they've really done a pretty good job with that dust.

But anyway, I just remember talking to them and they're like, eh, it's not our favorite thing.

But, you know, if we can develop that 35 acres, we would prefer that because we can get our front.

We can boat down there.

If there's restaurants, you know, like a seaport village or something.

And so it's like, yeah, we're not crazy about it.

But.

that's a good deal if we can put the salt there because that's not going to get there any dust on their bolts and then they're moving that that was that's good that's a good compromise

yep that's basically what it's going to be and it's um i want to say 60 years the lease will be okay i have to read a little bit closer i'm working on a story that i will put on our website that does have a copy of the uh plan

i just i'm gonna ask pat the same thing but sea rice along the waterfront has 35 acres of land

And is that all going to the city?

That I don't know.

I would like that.

Well, of course you would.

But I heard last night, it's less than that.

But I don't know.

And like I said, I wasn't in the closed session nor should I have been.

But anyway, so the bottom line is I keep saying this is that the coal piles are going to be moving, you know, north, which is good.

Right.

What did you do with that salt?

I mean, it's a what why is it?

What's that for?

Oh, that's regular.

That's made into regular tables.

No, no, no, no.

That's real.

Oh, it's oh, that's okay.

Okay.

Okay.

A lot

of the stuff that comes in here

is a lot of place like Milwaukee of those huge and Chicago have those huge big round, right?

Pavilion like, okay.

So it's that's like, oh, okay.

That's road salt.

Yes.

No

Which

so anyway, I know I know that's got completely off topic, but I did want to get your opinion on that Jim the story and you know

We're very happy all yes, we're very happy Paul and myself and yeah, I just I told the story before I'll tell you real quick when I got elected mayor 2003 I Called or visited with all the previous mayors like you know help me out here.

This is new to me.

Don't really know what I'm doing and

I met with Romy Denison.

The Romy Denison was elected the year I was born.

And he's telling me about Green Bay and the politics, how it all works.

And then I said, anything that you wish you would have got done?

He goes, yeah, those damn coal piles.

That's how long ago it was.

But anyway, we're delighted with this.

And like I said, I don't know what the deal is.

I don't know how much it's going to cost, but it's done.

And that's the quote I will be using.

Just so you know,

as

long as it's done, you were rolling tape on that

least

his cohort

job.

I don't have an interesting question.

What do you do with that salt?

Is that table salt?

Is that table?

No, I think Morton says that coming so.

So let's talk about Newisco weekend for absolutely this weekend.

We are focusing on summer safety and we have a fan.

Casting.

fantastic interview as our cover story.

Melissa Kay was able to interview Mark and Kristen Miller.

They are parents of a young man who died.

Because the EMS people didn't have epi pins.

I know

that I know them.

I know this story.

I know them I've had a thing with them once.

Yep, it's

it's amazing

It's heartbreaking but encouraging at the same point because they're saving people's lives I guarantee it go ahead Lisa

Exactly they're they're behind getting some legislators to promote a bill that would require EMS and first responders to have epi pins at all time and

Melissa Kay has a great interview with them.

That is our cover story this week.

And then we have other news stories on what to do about insect bites.

We have stories on being safe while you're doing your summer burning, whether it's cooking out or clearing debris.

We have stories on being safe if you're a young athlete, making sure you're hydrated and you eat the proper nutrition.

Lots of summer safety stories in the issue.

this weekend.

It's going to be a great one.

You might know something.

I remember a doctor has read a thing about him.

He says, let me give like five points or 10, whatever it was.

But the number one when it hits course close to summer that he would never let his kids do.

One was ride a motorcycle.

Until they're like completely older and ready to go and stuff like that That's one of them because they have no idea how many accidents come into emergency rooms with people that aren't really qualified aren't experienced and they hit a little bit of gravel and they Panic and they over correct and those kind of thing that's one another one never ever ever ever ever Jump into water when headfirst when if it's not like twice as deep as you are or something like that twice your height Another one what was it with biking and and

Peter and Tracy Flucke.

Oh, one of them was just bright clothing.

Well helmets, of course, but wear something because people don't know it sometimes.

Well, Jim and I experienced this.

We literally almost hit somebody coming to Oshkosh one morning, Lisa.

I think it was the first time we came to Oshkosh for a show.
