Maino and the Mayor · Fri Jun 13, 2025

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

And

here are your hosts, John Mino and Jim Schmidt.

Good morning, happy Friday, June 13th.

It feels like April 13th.

Oh man,

that is cool.

Maybe April, right?

It ain't nice 53 and 55 and Alton 54 and Green Bay high in the low 60s today mostly cloudy scattered showers Come on man.

We need summer.

We lost like a we lost a good month of summer if you could like, you know middle of May when it gets nice Haven't we

yeah, I don't want a month, but it at least hasn't been consistent That's the problem.

It's been cold hot and come

on time.

But this weekend this week,

but

You know, these graduation parties, you kind of hope it.

I know.

Absolutely.

And then, you know, I was looking ahead.

I talked to Brittany on Monday, but, you know, Tuesday, you know, Big Malt's playing at that park across the street.

You know, I hope you're coming to that.

But, you know, but the forecast was rain, like 70% rain.

Yeah.

So I'm like, are they going to call it off?

Or might they reschedule?

They're like, we're busy all summer.

There's

no rescheduling.

This is

it.

So anyway, but it looks like it's going to taper up.

As long as it's gonna be 81, which is good.

Yeah, so all right, but anyway, this is cold these next couple days

I remember we had Dom's graduation party and the night before it was the worst storm I've ever seen blow through I mean like I said, it was like the old movie twister when neighbor stuff was just flying through the air through your yard or I lived like on Grace Hill or where that that wind would just come up It was incredible.

It was like build

momentum.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, I mean you could see it just build as it would come up now and

And then the next day, it was 96.

Too hot.

Thank God we had one of those big tents.

OK.

But somebody actually brought one of those big.

Todd, what are the farm fans, the barn fans, to cool cows or something,

right?

Those things are amazing.

Those things work great.

Oh, yeah.

They move the air.

But not in a way that it blows you over.

It just.

Those are I mean if people have outdoor vents where it's super hot.

I don't know where you'd get one

right after we about that.

No, I don't

but But was that to cool down the cows?

Todd will keep the air moving.

Yeah.

Yep.

Keep some cool air going.

Yeah, those are amazing.

Yeah What work Todd, you know what I when I tore down this one barn this one time.

Yeah, I wish I would have saved this what were the Okay, two things were

They would have like there's this one thing.

It was in a pile of junk.

So I pulled it out, but it was like almost like it was a chicken with the arrow.

Yeah.

So whether they yeah.

Yeah.

Those are cool.

But it also had wires coming out of it was or were those also lightning rods?

I'm thinking probably at some point it was.

Okay.

Yeah.

Was it like copper wire and stuff like that?

Well, it was

coated, you know,

whatever.

But yeah, probably.

I wish I would have saved that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's cool.

I love lightning rods.

You can sometimes you'll like be going through an old antique store or something like that and you'll find them with the glass ball still on them and stuff like that.

No kidding.

Put those in your backyard, Jim, in your orchard.

Those are collector items, huh?

See that, you guys?

I just, you know, I see it's weed your garden day today, but hey, I went out to that orchard.

I'm doing it.

You're going to do the orchard?

I'm pretty sure.

I want to talk to the guy.

What was there before?

Is there ever a house there?

Where I am?

Yeah.

Yeah.

In that lot?

Okay, then I'm metal detecting it before you turn over the soil.

I'll give you half of everything I find.

You can have it all.

But this orchard, I look at the trees, the pears, apple, cherry trees, and the trees, they were good-sized and they'll bear fruit in like two years, which is perfect for me.

Well,

okay, Todd, can you go back a couple of days, go Jim, one of our guys, Jim, Jim F. He put, he's very, very into, he did a big thing for you about two days ago.

or two or three days ago and we're really talking about growing things.

He put in there specifically the types of things you should grow and how long, I mean he had this thing down to a science.

He put it on our Facebook.

You can find that.

I don't want to garden, Johnny.

I want you.

You don't have to.

It's all trees.

He was talking.

But he

said this specific type of tree, exactly how long it would take if it's this big.

He had this thing down.

Jim, if you could send that again.

Jim F, I won't say last name.

I'll

get it here.

Okay.

Yep.

Um Talk to the guy and I said, what's can I do this?

Yeah, you just got a watered a lot.

Look at that.

Well, okay, let's pick it right there I mean it but I told you I screwed up my arbor vitis because he said I watered him too much Oh, yeah, I did say that.

Yeah, so it's and I had I know another guy out in Green Greenville and he'd help me but he and same thing and he goes, you know

I watered the hell out of those and they die.

Yeah, so there is a fine line.

I did get his car.

Just yeah, I I'm not kidding, you know, I planted trees one summer.

Did you?

Yeah.

Like an orchard tree?

No, well, it

was a couple of months worth up in Northern Minnesota.

Oh, it's where a forest fire had gone through and wiped out pretty much everything.

So they were replanting pine trees.

Yeah, right.

But it was easy.

You'd have this like spade type thing and you'd just, you know, stuff it in like that and just pull it back and you'd

put in the

thing and then stomp it down.

We planted like thousands

of them.

No, this is going to be eight.

Oh, that's it?

That I looked, I measured between the trees.

It's going to work.

I think that's going to be like, I don't know if this works.

I'm not going to try it for three, four, five years.

If it doesn't work, I'll take them all.

But I just think that's because, you know, like your grandpa.

You want something cool at your house versus, you know.

Yeah, no question.

The other three I'm competing with.

Do you mow that now?

It's mowed.

Okay, somebody mows it, yeah.

And fertilizes it.

I mean, it's, so, yeah, I just, if we put those in space to mow it right, I think that could be, I don't know, I just think they're gonna like that.

Going over to grandpa's picking some stuff and, I don't know, that Donna can make

some

maybe pie.

I'm not gonna argue with that.

We can be old fashioned, get the big old apron on and, yeah.

Donna's okay with that?

Call one of

your

grandkids shortcake.

Give her a little

bonnet.

Yeah, we're gonna do something.

I'm not done with the final presentation yet, but this guy was very helpful yesterday at Bellevue.

They did two of these orchards in Bellevue.

All I'm saying, Jim, is... The trees were like 150 bucks, but I'm gonna get a better deal.

Okay, that was what I was gonna get

at

next.

You know, you can go buy some, you know, little seeds to

grow your

vegetables.

If they die, they die.

Big deal, you buy another pack of seeds.

When you're putting in that kind of money, I would have somebody that really has it down to a science when to water, how much to water.

And...

get the tree so in two years it's it's good yeah I would rather spend a little bit more money get the mature tree yeah we went to pickles and bags

I saw the pictures

That was

that place was awesome.

He's got that VIP lounge in there for parties and birthday parties.

I can't

think of a better place to have like, okay, like I was talking

about

class.

What a great like class reunion place that would be.

You know, if it wasn't a huge club, but I mean,

yeah,

those pit that pickleball we put that was fun.

That's very cool.

It was interesting seeing you guys in action.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

Very much.

It was good.

It was good.

I got cancer in my face.

Yeah, that's right.

What about you, Jim?

I had the wrong shoes on.

I had the wrong shoes

on.

How's that?

I

was wearing sunglasses, too.

We're afraid to scuff up the cord.

I was going to go out to the car and get my glasses.

I'm not going to do

that.

That bar was

pretty cool.

That's really nice.

Huge!

That place is really nice.

Beautiful.

Did you guys play Jeff a little bit or not?

Yeah, I did.

Jeff's good.

I mean, he's really good.

I did all right against him, though.

Jeff's really

good.

Our

sales guy, Peter, is that the world's most coordinated human

being?

No, no.

John wasn't very, John, you could have been nicer.

He's like, what?

He was, Peter was trying, and he was, he was like that.

Were you giving him health?

Well, he wasn't giving him health, he just, the kid was trying, like that kid at the playground.

He just told me to get off the court.

He did, he did.

Give me somebody else I can play with.

You did.

I did.

Anyway,

I want to do that once

I'm feeling

up and up and running it is a really anybody in the Oshkosh area out in Oshkosh area You want to hold an event for your work party right anything like that?

You know those get pickles and bags in Oshkosh I mean you should see how cool the bar is they got like a lounge then with the coaches and tape VIP lounge It's great.

Here's how to bring cheese curds.

I mean, it's very basic.

I told you that Johnny.

It's, um, the hot dog bar.

I wonder if, can you heat up cheese, like if he cooked a bunch and you have brawn, could you like microwave them and,

um, maybe.

I mean, at home, I wouldn't microwave them.

Cause the microwave just softens everything.

I don't want to,

I don't want

doubt.

Yep That's what I was kind of laughing about but they those patterns and they put like the like just really like paper.

Oh, yeah,

yeah, yeah, you remember that

exactly all over the house exactly.

Yeah

That's exactly it with the little pins.

Yep pins all over the place.

Yeah, the pat.

Yeah, no question about it.

That was the big thing making their own clothes.

Yeah, kind of brings back the memories of macrame days.

Yeah, a little bit.

Same

era.

Yeah.

It's National Movie Night.

Nice.

Nice.

Pete Schwabba can talk a little bit more about it.

Yeah, absolutely.

You know, movies just.

It's lost it a little bit hasn't it though.

I mean remember in our era Where like a new movie would come out and it's like big news

because there's so many

now

streaming and that's what I mean 20 screens it used to be one or two movies would be at a theater So it's like big deal, but everybody would go see it.

It's also

there's more competition.

I mean,

that's

what

I'm saying Yeah, I'm talking about movies.

I'm talking about like The Meyer theater there's a lot to do right like if you're gonna do something on a weekend

I don't know if that movies would be on the top of my list with all the I brought today What's going on this weekend and just in Green Bay.

It's unbelievable

Well, the thing is okay, so we had we had a little movie theater in my hometown Then what an issue between one Marquette, okay?

And like I think it was Thursdays when they would always have in the paper first thing you do in the paper What new movies

around right and

then if you didn't see them within like three or four days they're gone and you'll never see that

What

Jim submit your soil to was University of Wisconsin for a test that takes forever.

I've been waiting for three months

Good idea Brian.

Wow.

I got till next year.

I can test that for you.

All right.

I got stuff I take care of it.

Well back to this weed or weed your garden.

Yes.

All right You know everything is something else the

W word with you.

We got to test that

full slate of folks coming on folks back after this

We're talking 97.9 FMWGBW, 98.3 and 96.5 FMW ISS in the Civic Media app.

And I'll tell you what, we had a nice time in Oshkosh yesterday.

I'm not even joking about that.

I enjoy that right down in the mornings.

Now, cause it's like- Yeah, I didn't

like it when

it was dark o'clock.

Was

that

cool?

It's great.

But we were talking-

When you're gone, we had somebody come in from I don't swam across something.

She's like, oh my god I can't believe how aggressive the people are driving in the moment.

Oh, well that

yeah, but you know what people at 435 5th.

They're going somewhere.

Yeah, they

got to get there, right?

I was your co-host Shannon.

Oh, Shannon

did you know what I

and she came from so much when she goes She usually just goes to work at like eight.

Yeah, but she's like, oh my gosh.

I couldn't believe how and I was I noticed that yesterday, too I think people were kind of jockeying to get to where they were going

I think 41 is worse than 43

Because the other morning when I had to go to Manitowoc early for my doctor's appointment It doesn't seem as everybody's going for I I'll put it on I put my cruise on 78 Yeah, and I just getting that right and I just not good a jockey in between yada yada yada, but 41 man You got to have your head on a

swivel.

Well, it's it's narrower that and that's why when they widen it's gonna be great, but you're right.

It's

Yeah, you gotta watch what you're doing

and the other thing is and I'll argue this till they close the casket on me The person driving down the highway in the right hand lane Okay, does not legally have to give the person coming onto the highway access the responsibility is up to the person

On the exit on the on ramp.

It's their responsibility to adjust their speed to blend into traffic It's not the responsibility of the person on the right.

I mean come on move over.

Why?

Why does it why can't the other person adjust?

Because there's other cars behind them.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no As a cop ask any police.

Do we have any police officers out there?

Any police officers

professional courtesy?

Just move over man.

I almost said the F word.

I almost said the F word

bleep courtesy when some ass is Coming in all air against screw you get out of my way.

I almost just gave a finger You

bleep

you bleep you who's next that's my attitude

the password is yeah a hat

That's just how I feel

All right, I I think there should be some responsibility there on both ends But what bothers me is when you're driving in the right handling.

Yeah, and you can't get over right there's other Right, that's different.

Yeah, and then you're you know what go I don't

give a crap you have to ride in the solar I'll go I won't there's times I'll be honest with you and I'm not an aggressive driver, but I'll be honest with you There's times I thought okay.

You're gonna be a jerk about this.

You're just like expecting me to slow down I will go the exact same speed so go ahead drive on the shoulder for a while until you adjust buddy

Boy, that talk about road rage.

It's not that's starting it though.

No, it's not.

It's it's it's

called the safety responsibility.

The safest.

The safest traffic.

There's a name for it.

The safety

traffic.

I'm just

saying at the same speed.

That's that's safety.

It's safety.

Whether you're going

90, 60, any state police officers listening and then to make that all work.

You don't want to do that slow down.

That's the accident.

But if that's the OK, that's the state rule.

Why not follow the state rule?

Well, the state rule, we should find people for big times hanging in the left lane.

That too.

I agree

with that.

Now, that's where I get a little bit aggressive.

I

agree with that too.

People are actually texting in that word like it's our Scotty Summer word.

Scotty Summer word.

Ryan, thank you.

Hey, that's one for the bingo card.

Exactly.

Write that one down.

Lisa and I were working on that yesterday.

Oh, yeah.

Excellent.

Yeah.

We got to do that.

I know

we will.

We got to come up with the bingo card thing.

We'll get it sponsored and it'll be great.

Yes.

All right.

Happy birthday, Mary, Kate and Ashley Olson.

They're 30.

99 years old they've turned out a little I

mean they

made a billion dollars but a little

hard

huh yep um Tim Allen is 71 does he still have a show he's he's had like nine different shows and he's the same character in every show

yeah I'm not sure I think he's got a new one coming out or they're gonna do a reboot or something like that of are they

I don't know I get some he keeps coming up with these shows and he's the same exact character yeah with just other people around him

Boy, by the way, you know, that's where what's her name got her start.

You know who?

Oh,

Pamela

Anderson.

Yeah, Pamela Anderson.

Yeah.

Okay.

That's where she got her start.

That in MTV, right?

Or was, was she on, was she on home improvement before she was on Baywatch?

Yes.

Yes.

I didn't know that.

That was her first.

Well, she was the Molson girl first.

That was where she was the Molson girl for Molson beer.

Then she did that.

All right.

And then, but here's the deal.

Have you seen her recently?

She won't wear makeup anymore.

Yeah, and she's unrecognizable.

I'm

just so attractive and everything.

Yeah, but it realizes what makeup can do for

a person.

I mean really, it's incredible.

Are you thinking about maybe?

No, but I will say this.

I used to get this a lot when I was on TV on a regular basis.

And you never quite know if they're giving you a compliment or a little bit of an insult.

Yeah.

Oh, you look different than on TV.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

Like, oh, thanks.

I'm better looking.

It

could be a weight.

Something.

But you get that a

lot.

Yeah.

Tim Allen, though, I told you that I met him.

He's a huge Lions fan.

Yeah, well,

yeah.

And he's got a box right next to the mayor.

Oh, OK.

His box is like, you know, there's really very little glass in between.

You can just look over there.

But anyway.

Met him after the game and he was really true notice kid for not being

home

But very cool guy anyway, yeah, he's huge Lions fan.

Yeah.

Yeah, but you're right He's kind of typecast exact

same guy all the time, but if you're making money doing it, exactly right?

He was in Jackson Prison.

Yeah, it's Jackson Prison, Michigan is a bad place.

Yeah, whoo very bad place

And he, he was there, my buddy's there, my buddy's there for life.

And I've seen pictures of him since, kid he went to high school with.

And he just looks like he's gotten hardened.

But he rebounded from that, okay.

Yeah, absolutely.

So

these guys don't.

Right.

Yeah.

Anyway,

yeah.

Isn't that kind of bizarre when you think about the coke back in the day and you go to hardcore killer prison versus, you know.

I know.

I know.

Yeah, yeah of all the things that people do to each other.

We uh

Yeah, we could refocus our energies to worse.

Yeah.

Yeah, I

would agree Richard Thomas John boy Walton 73 never did much afterwards, huh?

No, no and again if you

don't have

to why

do it?

How many you got to

think about this?

So how many times could he if he goes to a ball game?

Oh

god.

Hey John boy.

Good night John boy.

Oh

Can you imagine how many people say goodnight John Boy to him?

That drove Bob Euker crazy for all.

Hey Bob, you're in the front room.

Hey Bob, you're in the front.

Yeah.

What would people say to me that would bug me after all?

Bleep you.

Hey, hey bleep

You look marvelous.

They just, they get me.

Yep, the Scotty summer text to win statewide contest.

Today is the final day for your chance to win a pair of Milwaukee Brewer's club level tickets or $100 cash plus every entry puts you into with the grand prize drawing.

How about a trip to the Wisconsin Dells area?

Or how about a trip to Door County?

Got the word coming up after seven o'clock this morning.

The Scotty summer text to win statewide contest with your good old radio pals, John Minow and Jim Schmidt.

Hey, welcome back.

Got a text here from Vicki to Mountain's new show is called a shifting gears.

Thank you Vicki.

Thank you very much.

Vicki's awesome.

Yeah, Ty.

When we got questions about things, she's awesome.

She also said celebrities are also fault failing in society and that could attribute to lack of interest in movies.

I think so too.

I do too.

Yeah, I kind of do too.

And then that's one of the reasons that we're not listening to Lisa.

Lisa Hale anymore.

She's falling.

She's so failed us so badly yesterday because you're so mean to us and gosh.

She's

gonna

put us on ignore Lisa.

I mean, Lisa.

Hi, Lisa.

Hi.

How

you doing?

How you doing?

I'm doing real well.

You know, you mentioned movies, but I have to say, nerds, geeks, people who love to laugh everywhere yesterday got such

a. Oh, yeah.

I heard about that

boost and we're so looking forward to 2027 because there's going to be a new Spaceballs movie from Mel

Brooks.

Is Mel Brooks still alive?

He's going to be close to 100.

He was in World War Two veteran.

Yeah, he is.

He's close.

Oh my God.

Unfortunately, John Candy won't be there.

Right.

But.

Pullman is coming back and so is Rick Moranis.

So I'm so excited.

I could just TT.

I mean, it is that exciting to make.

We never gonna comb the desert report.

What did you find?

But nothing, sir.

How about you?

Nothing, sir.

How about you?

Man, we found.

I love spaceballs.

That's one of those movies.

It's like I was talking, if you watch 10 minutes with Lethal Weapon, whichever one it was, remember a couple of weeks ago, and it said, I laugh more in 10 minutes watching this movie from 30 years ago than any movie that you could put out right now.

That's, I've never seen spaceballs, but you know

what

I mean?

where it's just certain.

Oh,

you don't have the weapon.

No, no,

no, you're talking about

naked gun, naked gun or which was a takeoff of lethal.

But it was a spoof or blazing saddles, which is his, his stuff.

That's all you want to laugh more in those 10 minutes than any of these other funny.

We just got a text from Nancy who says Bill Pullman will reprise his role as Lone Star.

Oh, and his son Lewis will join as his son in the movie.

His name will be starburst in space.

Nice.

She's excited about that.

Oh, man.

I'm telling you, I'm so excited.

I that's just one of those movies that I've never

seen either.

Well, you don't need to.

No, you don't need to watch the whole thing.

It's like any of those movies you watch 10, 15 minutes at a time.

Kind of like airplanes.

Same thing.

Because it's gag after gag after gag after gag after gag.

Really?

It's as funny as airplane.

Oh, there's some funny.

I

mean, all right.

I watch it.

It's probably what 30 years ago it came out and I can still recite 10 lines from it verbatim.

That's good.

Yeah.

All right.

Yeah.

Spaceballs is.

is right up there, you know, with me.

You know how fast I was going yesterday coming to Oshkosh?

How fast?

Ludicrous speed.

I knew you were going to say that.

You're going to just go on and on with that movie.

I love it.

I enjoyed meeting at your place again yesterday.

It was nice having you guys here.

It's

fun.

I really like it.

Great people.

And then we went over to Beggs.

Pickle and Beggs.

Pickle and Beggs.

What a neat place that is right at Congress Street in that big like almost like a strip altar.

No, it's not a shopping center.

Yeah.

Shopping shopping center.

Lots of room.

It's on it's on 20th and

Yeah.

Yeah.

But that's that is that was

Fantastic.

Yeah, we loved

it.

It's a great.

That's a great area.

I'm going to start playing that sport.

I think we'll be pretty good at it.

Oh, gosh.

Oh, Lord.

I will tell you that area is nice.

It's clean.

The roads are good.

I mean, it did some work on that.

Some cool neighborhood bars.

Did you notice that?

Yeah, I just I mean, you got a new

drive.

Did you drive down Oregon?

Yeah.

Yeah.

And you went right past Pete's garage bar.

You sure did.

Oh, you're kidding.

Nope.

You went right past it.

If you drive, if you drove down Oregon to get to 20th, you went right past

Pete's garage bar.

I'll be damned.

We left your place and took a left.

Would that have been open?

Probably not.

Right.

Yeah.

And we're

not at your time.

Probably not.

Yeah.

Could have called.

Wow.

But there was like those nice little neighborhood type bars that I talk about

all over the place.

When I own one of those, they live upstairs of it.

It's been phenomenal.

Some day.

Yeah, you want to work for me?

Sure.

Sure.

I'll be your bar back.

Thank you.

She'll make pies and stuff too.

Oh, that's right.

That's a cat eight.

Stop talking about cat lick pie.

Oh, that actually sounds like some cat lick pie.

That's

what we called it.

We'll have that on the menu, Lisa.

Oh my gosh, I am not the best cook.

I love food, but I am not the best

cook.

Well, that's all right.

So what's going on this weekend on your great show?

New WISCO weekend this weekend.

It's of course, Father's Day is coming up Sunday.

By the way, if you guys haven't noted that, you might want to make a note.

Is it Sunday or tomorrow?

Sunday?

I thought it was the 14th for some reason.

It's always Sunday, John.

I didn't know

that.

Just like Mother's Day, it's always on a Sunday.

Did they change that?

Never.

No, no.

Okay.

All

right, it's always in there.

Um, but this weekend's Father's Day, but it's also flag day.

As you know, tomorrow is flag day and we really talk about flags all over the place.

American flags.

Yes.

Our cover story is Fly Me Flag up in Green Bay that is a

They're considered the flag experts.

So they can teach you everything from how to care for your flag, when it's time to retire the flag, what to do, all that stuff.

And it's a wonderful interview with Stacey Stewart from Fly Me Flag.

You know, I know a few of those types of things.

And one of them is, you know, a lot of people, it was like, well, when the sun goes down, you got to take your flag down.

You don't have to if you have a light on it.

Exactly.

Yeah.

Exactly.

As a matter of fact, I worked at a

TV station once that had a huge flagpole and a huge flag and we were very What's the word I'm looking for I don't we were very obsessive about making sure that light was always

yeah, yeah, yeah, that's yeah, that's the one important thing

Yeah, and I remember that that was part of my job was to check the light every night,

you know a little thing I collect when I go to I don't go to garage sales much or anything but

even flea markets are anti I always try to collect 48 star flags

if you can find them

yeah they're hard to find and you know the way you can tell the difference is they're completely symmetrical they're completely a rectangle whereas obviously in the you know the 50 flags they're off-spaced but they are completely boom boom so they're 49

40

I've never

seen a 49.

I know this 48 for sure right 40.

I want was there ever a 49 star flag Well, how close for

those

two?

I think a few months.

We're only a few more than I doubt it.

That's a good

boy would

that be a collector's item?

Wow What year did we go to 50 stars?

Yeah, you got it.

Thank you over there.

That's our little trivia guy.

That's

what

we

do

here.

John

You know, they do this contest.

And then the 24th is our two year anniversary.

Wow.

I think it's the 25th.

Oh, OK.

Same day.

All right.

Wow.

Anyway, so that's, that's coming up.

It's apropos kids day in our anniversary.

Same.

It's like Todd dealing with 11 year old babysitting.

Right.

Right.

For two years.

So I'm taking vacation off during the anniversary here.

I don't blame you.

When did you stop running the bell in?

Well, I lived on, like I said, I lived on Eliza and Roosevelt, which is that.

It

was

an awesome house where I picket fence and it ran right by there.

So

I,

I got, I do have a picture of me running.

I saved that one.

In those

shorts?

No, there's different shorts and blue shorts.

Okay.

Thank God.

Yeah.

I mean, I don't know.

Probably.

Yeah, I don't know, John.

That's a good question.

They should bring back.

I used

to run with my sister

too.

I think they should bring back the old coaching shorts.

Remember the coaches shorts?

They're polyester.

They were longer and they kind of came up.

But if you ever watched the movie Dazed and Confused, it was set in like 1975, or it's set in 1976, because on their last day of school, the teacher says, just remember in celebrating our bicentennial, you're celebrating a bunch of really rich white landovers who wanted to keep their slaves.

They're bike shorts, bike.

B-I-K-E, it's a brand.

It's the same as like the jock straps.

You're

right.

And they were polyester, and they'd pull them up over their gut, right?

Exactly.

Yeah.

But

they

would tuck things in.

Yeah.

Well, that's what

I'm saying.

I know.

I think they should bring those back.

Yeah.

There's some people.

I'm in fan of that.

Instead of having to get

over, it's

more

enclosed.

Yeah.

If you look at old coaches' pictures, man, I would never be caught dead in those things.

They'd have knee-high socks.

I would wear gym shorts before I wore that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But,

yeah, but sometimes

stuff does come back.

You

know

how we

like

that

a little bit.

I thought you were going to say, sometimes stuff does come

out.

Yeah, that's right.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, gosh.

But they were, remember the shirts you would have in gym class?

Oh, yeah.

They were those small little, short little, even though our basketball, when I see pictures of basketball.

And those uniforms really changed basketball,

right?

Oh, my God.

And now they're down to

their knees.

For the better.

Really with the socks up to the knees.

Absolutely

at the shorts up to your

well We decide I come from the era where you also in basketball You would wear the stirrup socks first where they were just in the basketball Yeah, they had no function other than the look.

Yeah in basketball Absolutely, how long ago was that not that long ago?

I was in high school 50 years ago

I mean, he has 50th coming up this summer, so I've never seen

anybody play basketball in those socks.

Oh, I'll show you

some pictures right now.

I'm sure he will.

They were a good-looking thing between his shorts and

your size.

Yeah, I'm on this.

I'm on this.

Yeah, come on.

We need it.

Come on, man.

For what we do for you every day.

Come on.

Think about it.

I got a text here.

This is an important text, actually, in regards to the entire community about an event coming up.

We got the bell.

We're talking with Raleigh Schmidt here a little bit about the bell.

But something that actually

is a little bit bigger than that as far as just the day to day getting around downtown Green Bay.

We just got a great question.

You just want to.

OK, John,

do we have any music for such a slow breaking news or not

breaking news, but just something

people

be aware of here.

Ladies and gentlemen, we just had a text coming in that's very, very important for those who might be in downtown Green Bay on the 25th.

The question is, sirs.

Will the streets of downtown be closed for the show anniversary?

Just trying to plan my downtown traffic patterns.

Funny,

funny.

Snarky Brian.

Exactly.

Snarky Brian.

Just for our guests, may not be Raleigh.

Raleigh, last year we had our one year anniversary.

And I was in charge of-

No, wait a minute.

You weren't in charge of anything.

No, okay.

No, you took charge of something.

Okay, that's right.

I just, I'm reflecting back to my old days as mayor where I could say that.

And I thought being really interrupted.

Todd, I was no longer.

No longer is right.

And I thought that'd be fun.

We'll have an event.

So I said, let's close the street.

out in front of here, right?

Cause it'd be have a little band and maybe, you know, at a helicopter coming over, dropping ping pong balls.

And so I did the first turkeys.

But yeah, right?

We talked about that.

We talked about that.

But I, um, so I, or sent the thing in, close the street and then the rest of the deal fell apart because nobody else picked up their pieces.

So we were here on the 25th, right here, right here.

And we're like, and, uh,

the truck comes with all the barricades and literally we had a gas

setting exactly where

you were on and I looked and I

saw the big thing pulling a trailer with all these barricades I don't know what's going on there and then I looked and they stopped right at the end here

and they're unloading

the barricades and closing off the street

Actually, oh, yeah, I went out there.

You guys that was that was just Todd's idea.

We're not doing this.

So no, I took the heat on it.

I did I was

really impressed that the city actually did

it for it.

They were closing off the street.

So he has to go running out

of

the clout that

you carry.

I

said live very little, but I'm running sprinting.

I've never seen him move so fast like you guys don't do this because last time he moved that fast.

He's wearing the shortest

shorts.

All right, that's my job anyway.

Our two year anniversary is coming up on the 25th.

So it's just one of our, as John so well-labeled him, our snarky listener said, do I have to do my traffic routing because the street is going to be closed?

And the answer is, I

don't know yet.

Hey Brian, we don't know.

We'll

let you

know.

It's

on a need to know basis.

See if the

truck shows up.

The truck shows up.

Yes, Brian.

Adjust your downtown

traffic pattern.

All right.

Ron Schmidt, guru on medical for the bell in run.

And that is coming up.

And you guys were talking here during the break.

Tell us again and forget COVID when it was shut down.

That doesn't count for anything in regards to length of service here.

Tell us again how far back this goes.

OK, correct me if I'm wrong.

You were in like.

Junior high maybe when this started

that yeah, well, it's about junior high for me, right exactly.

Yeah, even probably elementary school.

Yeah 1980 No,

this started in the 70s,

right?

1974 right 74 75

exact number again.

I do medical.

I don't do math I don't do the hard stuff I do the easy stuff like medical so

that's that's before running even became a

Before running was really cool.

Before jogging, it was really cool guys.

Well actually, he goes back to, you know, Anchorman.

Yes, my wife and I are gonna try something.

It's called jogging, I believe.

I believe it's a soft J. You know, I mean, there was no such thing as jogging.

Yeah,

right.

Yeah, it was a kickoff to our hospital, the new cardiac center that we had at the hospital.

George Kerwin had a dream, a vision.

And he brought in a couple.

He

knew something special.

There's a guy there.

What you talk about, yeah.

George's top notch class that guy.

give you the shirt off his back kind of a person.

He's

a wonderful guy.

What a great story too.

I mean, well educated, but he really didn't start at the top there.

George worked his way

all the way

from the hospital system all the way through and became the top dog at

the hospital

and very well respected for it.

But was so big into people getting out and moving.

Well, George was a good example.

He ran that thing,

what?

He went

out and moved.

20 years, 25

years.

Yeah, whatever the number is,

exactly.

Yeah, it's a long time.

But what's cool about the bell and we were talking about that is there's

It's this is the 49th running of the bell and and you have 20 guys You said there are other women in their tours 20 legends 20 like 20

legends at this time that have run every

one of

49 Bell and runs

That's incredible.

So the oldest right now would be what seven in 70s

all of that right?

Would that be interesting to compare his vitals?

to the guy that didn't.

I mean, that's it.

To mine?

Oh man, you get your great shape.

You walk in and I'm like, okay, another bell and guy.

So this exciting and 49 years, you got it down, but it's grown.

You've got different heats now, but you still do a great family thing with the parks and it's a great, it's more than a run.

I mean, that's a festival.

It really is.

It is a community event and the support we get from the community is why we have

49 years

of

successful runs, right?

It starts with our community, it starts with our hospital system, supporting what we do, supporting that vision of getting feet on the street, getting people out there getting healthy, that's really the biggest thing for us.

But if you didn't have those people handing out cups of water and don't, you wouldn't have the

runs.

Our volunteers, our corner volunteers, our, you know, race pack of volunteers, you name it, exactly.

You hit that nail on the head, John.

It really is a community event and we don't do it without...

It's the support from everybody.

We're here to talk about the medical team, but I've got 100 medical volunteers.

We don't do this without those people.

We don't do it without the 2000 plus volunteers standing on a corner somewhere telling people which way to go and which cars can't go which direction.

Or I know this for a fact with some of those hot days pulling people off the course.

We've had a few of those.

We've had a few of those.

trying to hone that process in and how to help people avoid those situations.

I know a

guy that happened to.

And at first, he was offended.

And then he realized, I didn't even saw pictures of himself.

And it's like, holy crap, I didn't realize it.

I thought, well, I got through this.

But you guys really, some of your volunteers really look for signs of, hey.

Yeah.

We have our medical team.

some of our volunteers as well, but our medical team is on bikes, right?

Cruising the course, you know, looking for those, those participants that are maybe struggling, whatever, um, our aid stations as they're, they're spaced out around the course.

They're looking for those people to go, okay, uh, bib number one, two, three, four looks rough and they'll radio that through to the next stations.

Hey, the, the guy in the red shirt and you know, bib number one, two, three, four, he looks a little tough.

That's exactly.

And he's like, wow, I didn't realize it.

You know, I just thought I'll gut this out.

I'll tell you one quick funny story.

One of the times I was covering it, they'd have that pickup truck for the media so you could video.

Yeah.

And they were going and some kid was like driving or whatever.

I remember.

And the one guy in the lead starts yelling and somebody's people like, what's he yelling?

That's what he said.

He's yelling.

Speed up.

The truck was going too slow for him.

So I'll tag along with that story.

I drove the truck one year.

It may have been me, right?

Yeah.

No, I drove the truck one year.

You know, as part of my medical team, I wanted to see what the course looked like.

I wanted to be out there, wanted to see what that looked like, you know, with the elites behind me.

And I'm pacing it and my spotters in the seat next to me.

And I'm looking at my speedometer.

It's 15, 16 miles an hour, 17 miles an hour.

And he's

going.

Pick it up.

They're making a move.

Pick it up.

They're making a move.

Exactly.

That's exactly right.

So I

hammered and I'm like, it was 16, 17, 18 miles an hour.

And

I'm

like, these guys are

catching me.

And you're riding in the back of a truck and you feel like you're going fast.

And these guys are right on you.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That was incredible.

That really showed those elite people how fast they run.

They're pretty darn good.

But the medical team, it's not going to, the heat won't be an issue this year.

But what are the things you,

Most common out of the yeah, so we

we our medical team prepares for the worst pray for the best and hope for something in between

you had all Levels haven't your few years goes beyond belief hot and humid.

We really have and we so we put in our medical tent We have dunk tanks the best way to cool somebody is a full immersion so we get a

core body temperature on them, and then we cool them as quickly as we can by putting them in a cold water bath, basically.

We actually had a gentleman, speaking of funny stories or scary stories, it might be, gentlemen stopped Randy Van Stratten in the hospital a year or so ago, Randy told me this story, and he said, hey, you don't know me, but your medical team saved my life.

Wow.

And Randy's like, you know, kind of taken back.

He goes, really?

What happened?

He goes, well, I had a heat stroke.

I was unconscious.

Your team wheeled me in.

put me in the dunk tank, and I walked home with my family that day.

Wow.

Yeah.

So that's the type of stuff that, you know, like you said, we'll do everything from...

What are they?

Explain the silver, like, blankets that you give people.

So the Mylar blankets are obviously a very thin space blanket,

if you

will, right?

So it's a heat retaining blanket.

People get chilled as soon as they stop running.

Right.

Okay, so in a day like tomorrow, we might see a few more of those heat, or they're done Saturday, excuse me, we might see a few more of those Mylar blankets going out because it's going to be cool and rainy and everything else.

Your body temperature is up really high when you're out

there

running and you're moving around and all of a sudden you stop right away.

It just helps retain that heat is more than anything.

I didn't, I didn't know that,

but I can use a

calcium, right?

A roll of them.

you know, we can put $10,000

on a roll.

Right.

But what I do know about them, they look really cool in the picture.

Absolutely.

They do.

You're silver cape.

Yeah.

I don't know if I need it.

I didn't know it was for heat.

I'm just giving you one of those.

Okay, honey, take the picture.

All right, that's, yeah.

Did you run the Bellin?

Check out the cape, sister.

That's right.

That's what you wanted.

How about we'll talk a little bit about preparing for it.

And then the Bellin, you know, it's 6.2 miles.

It's not a forever.

It's not a marathon, but still it's

It's over five.

It's a lot of people's

marathon.

It is.

Right.

It's that

person who's going from couch to 5k, couch

to 10k.

You do go to trade, but little things, twisted ankles, does that stuff happen there?

We see quite a bit of

that.

Yeah.

I mean, orthopedic injuries, blisters, you know, the little minor things, cuts, boo-boos, nicks and, you know, scrapes and things like that.

We see a lot of that.

we see hamstring strains and hip problems.

So a lot of that orthopedic stuff we see and we manage those things many times on course or after the race, maybe they can gut it through and finish out the event.

But I always recommend those people, don't make it your PR today if you're having symptoms.

Stop, make this a fun event.

Make this a fun event.

Don't gut it

out just to gut it out.

And you respect that by the different.

the heats that you had the different times, right?

I mean, you even have a walking section, right?

Absolutely.

So, okay.

Yeah.

Can I tell you one thing that has, um, in the back when I used to run, I used to jog, shouldn't say run.

Um, that's always prevented me from taking part in the belly.

What?

What's that?

Listing everybody's times.

I didn't want to be like last in my category.

Do they still, do they

still, do they still do that?

But I got

guys that's like, okay, my goal.

I don't care if it's 59, 9, 9, 9, 9

is to

be under the six.

Oh, yeah.

Right.

That's a

lot of

peer pressure.

Most people want to run that.

That hour.

That

hour mark is exactly the

magic

number.

Right.

And people shoot for that.

And then it was to that.

running your age, which, yeah, you know, some of those don't kids can run their age.

I mean, they're 29 year old, you know, they fly through that first.

It's amazing.

It is.

When we see that elite group come flying

in.

Oh, my

God.

Yeah, it's

pretty cool.

All

right, we gotta start a quick break.

Stick around, please.

Rollin Schmidt.

Medical.

What would be your personal title for this, Rowan?

I'm the medical coordinator.

Medical coordinator for the bell and run.

Medical director.

We're going to elevate you today.

Thank you for being here.

Oh, no, that's Dr. Quellio.

She gets the big bucks.

All right, all right, all right.

Not today.

She's not.

You've

already learned.

You're on our show.

Jim makes all the decisions you hear about.

Summer Summer Summer

All right.

Yeah.

The Scotty summer text to win statewide contest is on your final shot to play along this go round with Jim and John.

And here are all the details from John Minow and Jim Schmidt.

Hey, that's right is your Scotty summer, your Scotty summer text to win statewide contest.

You're giving chance for Milwaukee Brewers club level tickets or $100 cash.

Plus every entry puts you into one of our grand prize drawings of Wisconsin Dells area vacation or a door county vacation.

All right.

So this

hour's keyword

is water.

W A T E.

We are Water.

Download the Civic Media app in the Apple Google Play stores, choose WISS or WGBW, and use the text button to send in the keyword, Water, for your chance to win in the statewide contest.

We're being joined by Roland Schmidt-Guru on the medical side of things for the bell and run.

Jim, how many years did you run it?

Oh, not enough.

Um, I'd not, six, seven, eight, nine.

Oh, that's a lot.

But it was really fun.

And, you know, and it wasn't, you got to train out when you're our age,

It wasn't that much training, maybe, you know, a week.

Now you have to train, you know, a couple months, and now Johnny and I got trained like a couple years.

But it's just so much... I just like the spaghetti dinner.

I like...

Going with my kid, I like the family part of it, the music, the event after and all the kids, the little kids got, all their bibs were number one.

So there was no, you know what

I mean?

I thought it was just, you got like cool stuff over there.

Do

you still have the

half bananas at the end?

We

still have bananas at the end.

I mean, you can't have a race without bananas.

No.

God

no, so, all right.

And in terms of, I mean, you're the medical guy for the whole thing.

You see, you have a hundred.

of you guys there

yeah there's a hundred volunteers medical volunteers in our first aid tents out on the bikes everything else and then add in our green bay fire team you know we're right yeah we got quite a few folks running around

Roland has that changed you know you've been doing this for 49 years but did they always submerge people in that no that's that's

fairly well not

Fairly knew

it When that became a big thing in like professional sports when Corey Stringer for the Minnesota Vikings exactly it died of heat Exhaustion and then and every NFL team from them and college football That's exactly when they started doing the big for lack of better words dunk tank type things

correct And that's exactly it John the the Corey Stringer associate Corey Stringer Institute and the National Athletic Training Association

my organization that I work with and work under, that's really where the big push came and the research came with, hey, this saves lives.

This saves lives, right?

And cool first transport second mentality has actually even, you've seen it just recently in the news, some of the fire stations out west and in California, you're like, oh, we're doing dunk tanks and this is new information.

Dude, we've been doing this

for

20 years,

you know.

So it's really cool to be able to do that.

I was lucky enough to work with the Green Bay Fire Department many, many years ago now already and bring that information and bring that research to them and say, hey, this, this saves lives.

And I had, I had descendants going, no, man, you put somebody in a dunk taker to kill them.

You give them a heart attack, you give this, you give that, whatever.

And the research just didn't show that.

And it showed obviously the opposite.

The quickest

way to lower that body free from like a lethal.

to at least get it down below that line,

right?

Your body is cooking from the inside out at that point, so we have to get you cool.

You'd

have to take a drastic measure.

Correct.

The advancement, I mean, that's changed.

I mean, the Superman capes weren't there 49 years ago.

Correct.

And to keep your, you said to warm your body, right?

Because it's chilled, that's the reason for those.

But some of this stuff is...

49 years, like the half bananas.

I mean, some of this stuff is traditional, right?

Yeah, absolutely.

So we've got a lot of really cool changes, you know, and we, every year you think, oh, it's medical, it's medical, medical.

You don't do anything different in medical, right?

You treat the people the same.

We don't.

Every year we look for advancements.

This year we brought in hands-only CPR.

So we're offering an opportunity for volunteers, spectators, you name it, to participate in our medical team as a medical volunteer.

by recognizing sudden cardiac arrest on the street.

I was going to ask you, because Mark Houston brought in the, I can never remember the name of them, the small units.

The ADs.

Yes.

Yeah.

And anybody can use them.

I mean, it talks, it talks right through it.

How do you guys distribute those throughout a course?

So we have, as I said, we have athletic trainers on bikes.

Right.

Our Green Bay Medical.

guys are on bikes as well.

We have firefighters on bikes.

They are all carrying backpacks with AEDs in them.

Got it.

All of our aid stations have AEDs at them as well.

Got it.

So we have an opportunity to get them out to the facilities right away.

Because really, if something happened, what is a time span?

What's that golden time

or whatever they call it?

So gold standard from if you look at sudden cardiac arrest in that in that it regards, if you look at sudden cardiac arrest, gold standard.

to get hands on chest to start CPR.

Gold standard is one minute.

Well, we certainly can't accomplish that with our bikes,

right?

It's gonna take us a minute to get that call to our incident command center, us to dispatch out that individual to that location.

So that's where our volunteers are so important.

That's why we're doing the hands only CPR training.

We want our volunteers to recognize, boy, if somebody falls down in front of me, it looks like they're not breathing.

It looks like they're pulseless.

get

something

started.

I should start CPR.

I should start hands-only CPR for this victim.

And I can help save a life as a volunteer, as a spectator.

Interesting.

Wow.

That's why we're pushing this right this year.

We'll have opportunities for our community members, our volunteers, spectators, our runners to learn hands-only CPR at our expo tonight.

So that's fantastic.

So we're teaching it.

That is awesome.

Yeah.

One of the things that we, again, looking for enhancements every single year to our medical team, to our medical program.

This is one of the things that we brought in this year as an enhancement to it.

Very

cool.

They learned that this weekend.

You can literally learn hands only CPR.

It's a minute 47 second video and probably two or three minutes of practice.

No kidding.

Under five minutes, you can learn how to save a life.

And you just do that.

until you guys show

up.

And so one of us shows up with an AD.

That could

be another two, three minutes.

That's

correct.

And that can make the difference.

Your steps for sudden cardiac arrest, when you witness a sudden cardiac arrest or when you witness a collapse, you're not sure what it is even.

You can start CPR.

It's OK.

It's safe to do that.

It's not going to hurt them.

It's not going to hurt them, right?

If you're not sure what their breathing level is,

They're not breathing good enough for me, and we should start CPR in that situation.

This is great information, Rowan.

Check all the boxes.

We're so lucky to have Bell in here.

Just everything, right?

I mean, the health care, the cardiac.

And then to do this for the community is just awesome.

Thank you.

Can I just ask one personal

question?

Yeah, okay,

Ron has one.

Do you

guys still get mad if a non-runner like myself wears a belling t-shirt?

We love it.

We love it.

Thank you so much, Roland Schmidt.

He is literally the guru for the medical information for the bell and run coming up tomorrow.

Thanks for everything you do.

And thanks for putting together such an amazing event for our community.

Thanks for having us guys.

We really appreciate it.

49 years going

back after this.

There we go.

I'll tell you what, a lot of great things taking place this week.

And of course the bell and run and the great event that the Green Bay Blizzard puts on, on a regular basis.

Todd, I want to talk a little bit about that buddy.

Mike Bayer is on with us from Operation Song to get us into it.

Good morning, Mike.

Good morning.

Mike, thanks for doing this.

This is such a great event here in Green Bay.

Just the honor of the military that fun into our football game at the, at the rush at the arena.

Um, and you're going to really enhance that with this.

Military appreciate a right date

Yeah, so I mean one we're super excited to just be back in the Green Bay community It you know folks up there is just phenomenal.

They love the military.

They love music and You know what better?

Organization to bring up there than operation song.

It's just it's powerful and Just a great addition to a military appreciation night for sure We're we're so thankful to Green Bay Blizzard and and everybody out there

And Mike, for those that don't understand or don't realize what Operation Song is, could you go ahead and give us a thumbnail sketch one more time?

What exactly you guys do?

Absolutely, yeah.

So we're a nonprofit that pairs professional songwriters with veterans and their families to tell their stories.

Since 2012, we have written around 2,050 songs with veterans from World War II all the way up to post 9-11.

and including their family members.

We understand that family members serve just as much as the veterans did, and so we want to honor all of them and tell their stories through song.

2000, did you say?

2050, yeah.

And you guys haven't been around that long.

It's not like you've been around for 30 years.

Yeah.

Well, I mean, for a nonprofit doing what we do, we consider getting past 10 years of success.

Yeah.

But yeah, it's been incredible and it just keeps growing.

And so we're so proud of what we do and grateful just to be able to have the chance to bring it into a community like Green Bay.

Can you describe the process, Mike, if somebody wanted to have one of their family members or friend or whomever veteran, if they want to take part in something like this, could you tell the process, please?

Yeah, so the process is if we have a lot of opportunities for veterans and their families to write.

you know the the easiest way is to reach out to us through the website and we can write virtually with anybody across the country so it's it's after after we receive your in-processing application we pair you with a songwriter and you guys

Coordinate when you want to meet and and for how long and they sit down and just work out the song together When I say together, I mean we consider the participant a songwriter It's not our job to write the song for them.

It's it's our job to write the song with them We want them to be an active participant

and it's amazing what you capture in that interview and sometimes those interviews really all that long and they come out with some unbelievable just heartfelt

I don't know, I've just, I've listened to a number of your songs and it's terrific what you do there.

And yeah, it's just, that's a great- Well, they're perfect.

I mean, these-

Well, the musicians

are-

Yeah, the musicians and the writers, I mean, these people make a living writing songs, right, Mike?

Yeah, I mean they do.

So these are all professional songwriters that work here in Nashville and we have a lot in Texas as well.

And during the week they're writing two or three songs a day for the industry and we're just grateful to be able to have them.

participate with us and use their skill and talent to help us tell our stories.

It is incredible.

It's a process that could take anywhere from an hour to three hours.

And when I went through it myself, my song was actually written in a span of about 45 minutes.

So it's pretty incredible.

That's cool, man.

And we've been privileged to hear a few of those songs.

Todd's

wearing one of your t-shirts as we speak.

Absolutely.

What you capture is, and of course you got the professional musician in an unbelievable story.

Mike, can you tell us about the song we're gonna kind of preview here today on the show?

Yeah, so the song is called Love Never Dies, and we wrote this last year at our October show in Green Bay with Kathy Trinkler and Taylor Davis was the songwriter.

And Kathy wanted to write this song for her mom about her dad.

Uh, her dad was a veteran.

He had passed away and she wanted to surprise her mom with this song and that's just such a beautiful tribute.

She did such a great job and Taylor really captured.

I think what Kathy wanted to say, uh, and to see the, see the face, you know, her mom's face at the show, uh, when she surprised her with this song, it was just priceless.

Was her dad,

was her dad Gordon?

Uh, you know, I don't know her dad's name because he's in my, one of my books that I wrote on World War two veterans, tremendous guy.

Oh, that's awesome.

Yeah.

Awesome.

Let's give it a

spin.

What do you say?

Absolutely.

I believe this is called Love Never Dies and you're hearing it first this morning on Mino

and the Mayor.

Well they rushed right in.

It was wedding bells and a baby on the way.

Her uncle Sam came knocking on that door and he had to go away.

She lay awake and wonder if he was gonna make it home.

But he made her promise she wouldn't

even on the rainy days you got somebody to help you get on through over six years they built a lot

and a couple scars, some that couldn't be seen.

And that baby was growing up real fast and soon came two and three.

It was church every Sunday, dinners at five and summers out on the lake.

A lot of hard work and sacrifice and doing whatever it takes.

Cause love never dies, it never fades, even on.

We got somebody to help you get on through.

Over six years they built...

fire still burned hot up until the end when it was his time to go cuz love never dies it never fades even on the rainy days he got somebody

That's

great.

Mike, is that you singing?

You know, I wish it was.

That's actually that's actually Taylor Davis singing.

He's the songwriter that wrote with with Kathy.

I mean, that if somebody played that on a country station, you would have no idea it was a local type of song about somebody.

I mean, that had every bit of Nashville, any type of song that would be mainstream.

That was fantastic.

The professionalism and the quality is incredible.

Thank you.

Yeah, that's that's one thing we proud ourselves on is you know when we tell these stories We want to not only tell the story in a way that makes the veteran or the family member proud and honors them But is it you know is professional and good quality as well.

And so we take pride in that

Wow, what I like about that is that I mentioned I was specifically for the person that did the interview but

That could transcend to a whole lot of families what you talked about in there 60 years and you know

That was an amazing tune I have tears in my eyes.

Yeah, that's great.

Just

great You know what you 100% correct about that.

There's so many songs that we have I mean my song was

was about myself and my son.

I was retiring as my son was joining the army.

And every time that song is played, somebody always comes up and says, man, that's me and my dad's song.

That's me and my son's song.

So we've got a ton of them that just relate to multiple people.

That

is so

cool and you guys can be a part of a great thing taking place the Green Bay Blizzard It's tonight block party starts at five o'clock.

The tip off is 705 It's game day promotions military night car flag giveaway to the first 1000 fans the block party military vehicles music from operation song which is you guys of course inflatables a lot more special game ball delivery that they say you don't want to miss have type featuring operation song for you guys the Green Bay Blizzard

I'm just a conduit.

No, so I got that.

You ever get a cramp in your foot?

Worse isn't so I tried putting I because you can't stretch it out sure you can't so I know you can't so I did the old-fashioned way that completely cured my cramp

drink water

no I Drank something but not water Okay, what did you do John pickle juice Took my jar of pickles and I drank the juice and my cramp.

What

a way my dad actually no totally was on that yep

totally was

on why

would that

I don't

insult maybe right

yeah yeah

my cramp away nothing else would and if you didn't have that olive juice one or the other

you would do

but you know above the stove there was all you always have those little cabinets right that's where he kept his brandy

yeah because

you had to have a shit whenever you felt like you're feeling bad you're gonna say

Couple of shots.

Yep.

Boom.

Yep.

You're done the pickle juice cured my cramp and I wish I meant to mention that to Robin They should have like a vat of pickle juice there if people cramp up

get right on that Don't why don't you just stretch it out John?

You can't exist in your foot if it was in my hamstring or my whatever You know you can stretch into all these things with your feet back like tried to buddy was like on the top the whole top of my foot the whole point the whole fasciitis

Type of area.

I

don't think that's fasciitis.

Yeah, it is.

That's the top membrane of your foot is called fasciitis.

Oh my God, you don't even know what membrane.

It's okay.

All right.

That's... I don't think fasciitis

is...

Or membrane.

It is.

It's called your fascia membrane.

It's the top of your foot and that's what was cramping up and pickle juice cured

it.

That's interesting.

Like, I would have just written it off until Todd said his dad used that.

But it is it's salt water that does it.

Okay, that makes sense.

But it's the brine, it's the actual brine that really makes a big difference.

I'm

telling you, Jim.

I'm going to go to the Bell in tomorrow, Johnny, and just see if they got shelves and shelves of pickle juice.

Well, they should if they don't.

They should if they

don't next year.

Yeah.

For the 50th.

Yeah.

Because he talked about how the medical is advancing every year.

And here we go.

We are contributing.

So fascia is a sheath of stringy connective tissue that surrounds every structure in your body.

Thank

you.

Providing

support to your organs, muscles, tendons, ligaments, tissue, nerves, joints and bones.

Give me a bell, please.

I don't think that's the top portion

of your... Neither do I. I think that's around the organs, but I don't know that it's on the surface.

Like you don't have organs in your feet?

No, no,

no.

Muscles,

tendons, ligaments,

tissues.

I'm saying around all that.

I'm saying is it bones?

I don't think it's the top layer.

I think that's called skin.

Which one of us major in kinesiology?

Man, it wasn't me because I didn't know what the hell that word means.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Hey, John, what does it mean?

Don't question me on medical things, Jim.

I've studied these things vociferously.

Oh, my God.

It's like Norm Crosby over here.

If anyone even gets that, right?

Right.

Remember Norm Crosby?

Yeah, he's butchered everything.

The top of the foot is known as the dorsum.

There it is.

There you go.

That's what I'm looking for.

Yeah, that's the different way to do it.

Latin word or American word.

Same thing.

I mean same thing.

All I'm saying is pickle juice cures cramps.

I think saltwater cures cramps.

And I

think a form of that is pickle

juice.

It just makes sense to me.

It won't work if you just take a salt shaker and take that.

That won't work.

It's because of the brine because it's developed and it ages.

And that's what works.

Jim, it worked.

I think it worked.

I don't doubt it worked.

I don't doubt it worked at all.

I think that's part of your...

mental part of it and you know, that's, but I think that's great.

It worked.

It worked for you.

And I think that's, that's what's important.

Todd, your

family and for his dad.

That's

all I think that's the old farm thing.

Do you really think his

dad grabbed the pickle juice or touch?

Yeah.

Or the whiskey.

Well, he said there's or the brandy, right?

Whatever.

I still

think if you talk to a doctor,

I still think they're going to tell you the first thing you should do is try and stretch it out.

But when it's on top of your foot, you can't.

What if you walked on your foot a little bit with that?

That's

what I'm

saying.

Yeah.

You know, try everything.

Yeah.

I tried everything.

Yeah.

Everything there was I tried.

So I grabbed the pickle juice and it's magical.

It's magical.

Not kidding about this.

I like

that.

Yeah.

Okay.

What's good?

We will talk to

is Mark.

Mark, are you out there?

Do you guys teach that at Bellin?

Of course he does.

We actually got another

text.

Okay.

It's the vinegar in the bride.

Okay.

Okay.

Thank you cowboy Dave I bet all farm type people country people know about this probably Because they had to come up with their own you know types of things You know

mm-hmm.

Yeah, that's there

You're right.

There's a lot of stuff that back on the farm.

This is what they and it works It's even today

and I'll bet you if you dug out a farmer's almanac.

I'll bet they would say that I bet they would say using

Pickle juice for different things.

Not, okay,

I don't know if I want to bet,

but not for cramps.

So I started typing in, can pickle juice and immediately on the computer side help with cramps?

Yes, there's evidence that pickle juice can reduce the duration and severity of muscle cramps.

Can I please get a bell?

Yes, you can.

Is it too much to ask to get a bell?

Thank you.

Is that, do you rub it on?

Can you rub it on?

You just drink it.

I'm telling you.

Thank God I'm here.

You're right.

I know man.

Thank God for the people.

Hey folks, you know

what?

We don't need bellen.

I don't do this for me.

I do this for you.

Consider me a gift to you.

759.

All right, we'll be right back.

That's what I do.

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

And here are your hosts, John Mino and Jim

Schmidt.

Oh, here we go.

We are back.

Hey, welcome again.

We're outside right now with Danny Bain.

Green Bay Papa Murphy father's day demo for pizza and I'll tell you what I'm Jim I've talked about this for I'm gonna build a wood-burning pizza oven in my yard Okay, and Danny this tastes like what I would assume my wood-burning pizza is going to taste like just like it.

Yeah Papa Murphy's makes great pizza and we've been going to your place for but it's cooked in the oven you cook this on the grill

Yeah, this one on the grill.

It's just new.

No, we've been trying to get people to grill.

Cooked pizza on the grill.

What

a great idea.

What are the... Nikki's actually doing the work.

Cheers,

Andrew.

He's just taking

credit.

Nikki, come on over here.

You're running around doing all the work.

He's just here to be a big time guy.

Taking the credit.

These are so good.

Thank you.

I'm glad you're enjoying them.

Oh, man, are we enjoying them.

Absolutely.

They're tasty, fresh made this morning by yours truly.

And we're glad to be out here today.

It's a beautiful day in Green Bay.

What's the

secret of getting this crust so good?

Actually, we go on every day early morning.

We make it fresh.

But then with

the grilling part, give us some secrets on grilling it so you don't burn it or so it's not too raw.

Sure.

I like to proof my crust.

So a lot of times you're going to leave your pizza in the refrigerator to keep your toppings all nice and fresh.

But you're going to want to pull that out and let it actually come to room temperature for about an hour.

And then you're going to want to put it into the oven or onto the grill.

It has a different flavor.

Doesn't it, Jim?

Yeah, absolutely.

I've never

had smoked pizza.

And I

love your pizza.

Excellent.

The charcoal really does make a big difference.

I've heard people are getting more creative with their smokers.

But I'm a little old fashioned.

I like to sit out in my lawn chair, enjoy a drink, and grill out.

But you put that even on,

I have gas grill, but you put those wood chips in there.

That gives it that smoke

flavor.

So I'm going to try that.

Yeah, absolutely.

And for

Father's Day, I still like to grill, but the kids can buy the pizza.

Yes.

And it's a great recommendation for babysitters.

If you and the wife maybe want to go out and have a more special dinner,

You know, you can get pizza and have those kids all happy at home as well.

Yeah.

And the freshest pizza, too.

I mean, you guys are

all about this.

This is, I mean, I'm not joking about this.

This is delicious.

This

is really, really good.

And it's unique.

It's pizza like I've never tasted pizza before being grilled.

Yeah.

Do you guys use any special type of charcoal or anything?

No, she just

bought some.

Really?

I like to stay away from the briquettes.

They don't burn as fast.

Okay.

So I like to get that hardwood clump stuff.

But, you know, like you were saying, there's plenty of different flavors.

But don't discount the wood chips on the

gas grills.

Yeah.

Could you do this?

OK, you were talking about camping and different things.

Could you do this over a wood fire?

Yeah.

The tripod, absolutely.

OK.

We have a

piece of stone that's on the grill.

So if you do that, it just helps disperse the heat a little bit.

You just don't want direct heat onto

the pizza.

God, so it doesn't

burn?

Correct.

You want to do it on indirect heat?

So

this is good for any I mean how

many different pizzas do you have like a

million?

I've never been a fan of like vegetable pizza you guys put a vegetable pizza on there I just had it

Tastes completely different than any vegetable people.

It was

a recommendation.

That's one of our gourmet delights.

And it's very popular among our guests.

Wow.

Guilt free pizza.

You

can try

to

go.

I know, right?

Get the

veggies

in.

Oh my

gosh.

Yeah.

This is so good.

And I'm not just saying that I've never tasted pizza with that kind of a flavor before.

Yeah.

And Danny, you I think a lot of us, while people listening, they listen, you know, here, Mantua, Appleton, Oshkosh.

We're your locations.

You guys are you're you're.

You're big time.

Oh, we have just the location of bandits walk one there and then five in the Green Bay area.

So one in Howard, two in Green Bay and then two in Depeer.

And then we have five in the Appleton area as well.

There's also a location.

It's got like 14, 15 locations.

That's

awesome.

Yeah.

Got to keep Nikki busy.

Who came up with that?

Officer Craig.

Officer Craig.

We need somebody to get officer.

Look at that.

He's fading away to nothing.

Bring him

some pizza for crying out loud.

Look at that poor guy.

Oh my gosh.

You're looking good, Craig.

Yeah, Craig.

Have a little something.

Have some nourishment if you're going to patrol our streets.

My goodness.

Or the cop's pretty good clients.

The cop's a good pizza guy.

Well, Officer Craig, how are you, sir?

Officer Craig, have you ever had a grilled pizza before?

I

have not.

You're going to

love this.

I can't wait to see it.

Fantastic.

This is unbelievable.

Go

step inside.

Don't try taking it from Jim.

You do not want to try taking it away from Jim's hands.

This

is good stuff.

Oh, man.

This is great.

This

is a piece

on the diet of police

officers.

Absolutely.

Of course.

Pizza and donuts.

That's right.

So this is Papa Murphy's.

You know, they have great fresh pizzas.

You can get anything you want.

So do I, right?

They're just great.

Bring that home and throw it into the oven.

throw it on the grill.

I'm going to do that this weekend with wood chips because I have a gas grill.

That sounds fantastic.

That's

what she said.

It can work.

I'm going to give this a whirl.

Oh,

look at that.

I know, right?

Yeah.

Breakfast pizza, right?

Yeah.

Absolutely.

Doesn't even just

smell good?

Lunch pizza,

whatever.

Did bacon and Canadian bacon on that one?

Just like a... Oh, yeah, back bacon on there.

Oh, I'm basically Canadian, so I can call

it back bacon.

That is

awesome.

What do you think, officer?

Great.

Awesome.

Isn't that great?

Mm-hmm.

Nicky, tell us a little bit about how long you have to cook it to make it like that.

I would say roughly around 15 minutes.

Okay.

If you like it crispier, you know, you're going to want to leave it on there.

Some people like their pizzas a little more doughy, so low and slow is the way to go with that.

Okay.

We do have multiple crusts, so we have original crust, thin crust, and we have a gluten-free option that we did bring today for everyone to try.

We're

eating gluten-free.

Can you believe that?

That's what we're eating.

Yeah, yes.

It's good for you.

See, John,

you can do this.

And it's very healthy.

What

is

he always looking at me when he talks about stuff like that?

I was looking

at your gut.

Oh

my

God!

This is great.

Wow.

So tell me a little bit how you came up with this.

Give us a background on Papa Murphy's.

It's been such a staple in the community.

Yeah.

The brand is about 30 years old, but it started out West and there's been some stores that are 20, 25 years old around here.

Wow.

But yeah, we've been around in the community.

do a lot of fundraising in the community.

I know you do.

And definitely try to just get to know our people, get to know our guests.

And

it's not an easy gig because everybody has their own type of pizza they can do.

And you guys have found a way to make a niche that is just truly successful.

Yeah, definitely try to make it easy.

Don't have to go out and have an expensive meal or chase the kids around and keep them corralled at home.

Wow.

However, people say that once a while.

There's a lot of pizza places.

But pizza is the number one food that people want.

Hands down over sub sandwiches cheeseburgers hamburgers.

It's pizza.

Yeah,

I mean there's a market there, too You just like Johnny just said you kind of carved out a really cool niche that you make it as fresh as can be and yeah, take it home and boom Yeah, but if you

don't have good crust we've talked about

this.

You don't have

good pizza Yeah, you put any topping in the world on top of it doesn't matter

Jesus cheese cheese cheese But even when we before we put it in the the oven room temperature is what we or is that just for the grill

just because ours is fresh dill

That's why she's talking to proof the crust up to room temperature.

So that'll help

it crisp up when you put it in the oven.

Okay,

and then

what's the other thing you're the cinnamon roll thing you got coming on?

Yep, so we actually have that on the grill right now.

That is a dessert option that we offer I like to switch it up a little bit for breakfast.

I like to have it with my coffee It's kind of a sweet and savory, but I also know the kids love it late at night.

I mean, it's a great simple treat

So it's not done yet.

That's on the grill right now, right?

Tell

Officer Craig to leave it alone then.

Absolutely.

Tell him to wait.

Just a few more

minutes please.

He's getting a call.

He's got to run to something so

beat it up

he's like how

they can wait I'll

be there soon I'll

be there when I get there thanks for coming by buddy thanks for all you do thank you that's awesome so tell me a little bit more about if somebody buys this is great and I still think camping wise this would be great when you got the

You got the little fire going out there in the campground or whatever.

Tell me how somebody can do this.

You need one of the tripod type things, right?

Correct.

OK.

And then that's going to have a grate over your fire.

Right.

And you're going to want to let your flames get down real low because you're going to want to use those hot coals just like if you're cooking anything else.

That's what I was going to ask.

More over the coals than the flames.

Correct.

OK.

You can order ahead.

You can call.

You can come in store or you can do the online options.

We have a lot of deals available and discounts available.

A lot of people like to get them on Friday and then they're going to wrap them up and take them up north for the weekend.

Do they

come frozen when they buy

them from you guys?

Absolutely not.

So they're never frozen?

No.

That's

the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't

it?

That's the

difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't

it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference,

That's one of the things that separates yours.

That dough is always fresh.

There's really no difference between a frozen pizza and your pizza.

I mean, it's just your pizza is so much better because the frozen has, I like it.

Oh man, we're back up.

You

just said there's no dirt in the frozen pizza and their people.

I

think you got that wrong.

You had a big difference.

Totally wrong.

Huge

difference.

Huge difference.

Big difference.

Big difference.

90 is what you're trying to say.

Big difference.

Are

your taste

buds working this morning?

They are.

That was good.

That's still.

Yeah, I am.

The big difference is what I'm

saying.

But here's the deal, though, too.

When you cook something like this, do you?

OK.

And I'm a crust guy.

You know, you gotta have the, and I like the thinner crust more than the thicker crust.

Okay.

Do you scorch it a little bit?

Do you check the crust to know when it's really done with something like this, when you're cooking it over a grill like this or over a campfire?

And the thin crust will definitely cook a lot faster.

Right.

Yep.

But always keeping on rotating it too on the grill.

Obviously you can get some of those hot spots.

Right.

Keeping rotating the crust and checking the crust off.

And I mean, peel it up a little bit.

Obviously we have the white tray that keeps it very easy to cook to give a little barrier, but.

Tell a little bit more about that stone you were talking about.

Yeah, so you can see Nikki has a stone.

So it just helps move the heat around so you don't get those hot spots.

But having a pizza stone, they're very cheap at a store.

Oh, I've never seen one of those

before.

Yeah, so

then you can put the pizza right on.

And we have the white tray that we use.

So you can see that gets a little brown on the

bottom.

So you don't put the pizza actually on the actual grates?

We do.

Not on the grates.

That's really OK.

Got it.

OK.

But

definitely helps with grilling, for sure, to keep the crust from getting.

You know,

and those stones aren't that expensive.

I mean, yeah, I'd never heard of that before.

Yeah.

And on the campfire, too, put the grill, put the stone on the great same thing.

Wow.

Yeah.

Jim, I'm shocked that you don't know that this isn't,

you know, one of your in your real house.

Yeah.

And I use the grill like I'll use it in the winter, too.

Yeah.

It's right on the deck.

Yeah.

But you make your own pizzas.

I do.

Great.

I

do because I like him.

Oh,

he's big time in this.

Yeah.

I do like pizza.

This is really, really, I'm telling you, I've never had, is it called smoked pizza or just pizza on the grill?

No, pizza on the grill.

Just pizza on the grill.

Pizza on the grill.

All right, it's great.

Love it.

And what did you just make?

What is on there?

That's going to be our cinnamon meal.

It's going to be our dessert option.

It has a delicious cinnamon granola-y, crispy.

Cream cheesy deliciousness.

I don't sound good at all.

Why is it going to be ready?

I just heard Officer Craig put on his brakes.

He's coming back with a siren on.

Like she said

with coffee, that would be great.

Absolutely.

Wow.

How many

varieties of pizza does Papa Murphy's have?

And I know I kind of said a jazillion, but I mean, do you get custom, right?

Yeah, so you can get create your own on Tuesdays.

That's going to be our special.

You can create your own up to five toppings or we have our signature pizzas or any of our gourmet delight pizzas available.

And you can come in and meet with somebody like my wonderful self.

And I would love to take your order and make your pizza for you.

What's your

background on this, Nick?

How'd you get so good at this?

I honestly give credit to the boss.

Yeah, right here.

Come on.

Honestly,

I'd have to give

credit to my kids.

My kids

actually worked for Papa Murphy's before me.

They started when they were 14.

And I used to stop and visit them just to get pizza and to get that employee discount that they had.

And it was great.

Well, she's very honest.

I met the boss and the owners and we kind of hit it off right away personality and work wise.

And I just kind of dug right in.

I learned about pizza dough and I learned about, you know, yeast and all the

baking kind of metrics, and I just ran with it since then.

Danny, how is it the employee basic?

If I'm a good employee,

that's always the challenge, right?

We're very lucky to have awesome people that work with us.

That's the key.

We've had managers that have worked with us for 15, 16 years.

We have new

people that have new high school kids.

They

graduate eventually, but yeah, we have a good mix of veterans and new kids that...

That's

awesome.

It's their

first job of their junior senior in high school and

get to make some money.

I don't want to gloss over it.

You do a lot of charity work for the community.

I mean, your name's on a lot of things.

You're helping high schools, booster clubs, all that kind of stuff.

And with that, we're

going to sit our quick break.

We're going to be moving inside.

We're going to be back with more with Papa Murphy's.

Folks, we can't say enough good things about how delicious this is.

Back, mine on the mayor, right after this.

So I chose this hot never plays a song without a meeting.

I chose this song because you guys made the dessert.

The cinnamon

desert.

I was, you know, if you had given me a multiple, I would have guessed that.

Would you have?

I would have.

I said that really smells good.

That is cinnamon.

You can smell it outside.

Get real close to those mics, guys.

Yeah, pull on up.

Papa Murphy's this morning, man.

Um, Danny.

So you guys can be one of a weekly presence on this show.

Yeah.

How hungry are you guys every hour?

Oh

my gosh.

I was just, I was like running around and every time I ran past out there, I grabbed another piece.

It reminded me of a fourth of July, pulling into my, my aunt's camp is we call it up in the UP and they'd have, you know, the fire going out there

and

the, and the, and stuff.

And that was because that.

I still think smells conjure up memories better than anything.

And the smell of you guys roasting that pizza out there brought me back to those memories.

Just that smell is awesome with that crust.

Isn't it though?

Yep.

There's just nothing.

Nothing quite like it.

No.

Brats on the grill and hamburgers and celery.

I mean, that's a whole nother smell.

But yeah, pizza on the grill is just fantastic.

Danny, tell us what locations you're involved with.

Yeah.

So Danny Bain, by the way.

Yep.

The Howard location to in Green Bay on Main Street Mason Street and then both the locations into peer and then locations in the five and Appleton Tell me where you are into peer into peer at East to peer in West to peer.

Yeah, and I'll tell you what with you guys though to people When they when they buy your pizza they take it home and they cook it anywhere they want Okay, and we've all been to pizza places where it's like that crust wasn't done well enough or that crust was too well done and you know what?

That's the best part about doing it.

Absolutely.

Do it

exactly

how you want to do

it.

Yeah.

I would just recommend to people like 15 to 18 minutes on the tray.

If you want a little crispier, it'll easily slide off there for another two minutes.

And that's how you can kind of dial in your crispiness.

I'm, I'm, I always kind of look at the bottom when I get a pizza.

Cause I want to see a little bit of that scorchedness.

Color is flavor.

That's the tasty part.

And that's the thing is okay.

So Jim was talking, he wants to try that, but you want to do what?

with your brick, the hardwood?

Oh, I have a gas grill.

So I'm going to put in wood chips.

I've

never heard of that.

So

that's the way we do smoked chicken, right?

Because I don't have a smoker, although I should get one because they're not.

But anyway, I don't have a smoker.

My brother does.

Oh, you got to get one.

But if you put wood chips with some water in there, that will create that same smell that you're

getting

off the charcoal.

So that's

very expensive.

So when you do that, when you get that going, do you keep the lid on to keep all the smoke

in?

I do,

because

if you're...

Because

that's what you're doing, right, Nick?

Yes.

That's what also helps to melt the cheese.

Right.

If you're

looking, it ain't cooking.

Oh, my gosh.

What?

Todd.

Todd.

What?

I'd like a little cinnamon roll.

You want me to bring you something?

That would

be kind

of nice.

I mean a piece

of

cinnamon roll?

Todd, I'm doing it for our clients.

I'm doing it for them.

Again, I do

everything

for the

people.

But Daddy, just tell us about online, our website, just so we can order.

Absolutely.

So we have an app.

Or you can go to our website, patmurphy.com, place your order.

You can give the stores any store a telephone call and go ahead and place your order.

Or you can come right in and place your order with one of our wonderful staff

members.

We also run multiple specials on Tuesday.

We have our large pizzas are 10.99 and our families are 13.99.

Yeah, that's amazing.

And you can create your own.

And it's really fun to see the different recipes and combinations that the guests come up with.

And then like Father's Day, for example, we do do a special promotion.

Dads love pizzas along with grandpa's.

So we will have a special promo going for that.

This is horrible.

Absolutely.

It's breakfast.

It's delicious.

Oh my God.

Tell us again what this is.

So this is going to be our cinnamon meal.

This is going to be our dessert option.

It's got a cinnamon butter spread and then it has a granola brown sugar crisp that goes on the top.

I went ahead and braided the crust for you guys this morning to give you a little bit more of that flavor from the grill.

There are multiple options available online that people create their own items with our pizzas.

They take them home and- This crust is

perfect.

You see what I mean about that scorch underneath?

Wonderful.

That's perfect.

Excellent.

When we buy that, that comes with the butter.

Yep, that comes with the butter.

Okay, cool.

And then we also have... Just for

the butter.

Just so

you know, don't come, just get the butter.

Extra cups, only 50 cents.

All right, all right.

We have a lot to

say.

I'm gonna use this butter on

my face.

Yeah,

okay.

This is so good.

Yeah.

That smells great.

Yeah, good.

You gotta try it.

Here,

seriously, try it.

Do you have, okay, this is cinnamon.

Yes.

Do you have other varieties or cinnamon?

Cinnamon is primarily our staple right now.

Yeah.

Sometimes we'll get lucky and we'll run up special limited time only option, but right now we're focusing on our limited time only as a pizza option.

We have our summer selects available right now and it's a great deal.

They're only $8.99 and there's a couple options that you can choose from.

and it's just great for the summer options.

Not only for adults, but kids.

Kids in high school, you got any young boys.

I mean, their friends are coming over, grab up a pizza.

Everybody loves pizza,

right?

And

when kids come over, it's pizza, pizza, pizza.

But I can't, okay, you get up, you're camping someplace, you get out of the tent or whatever.

Mama or whomever has this cooking on the grill.

Mama, mama.

And you walk out, how great would this be to have a camp site?

And pause with the banjos.

What?

What did I say wrong?

Mama.

And

mom was

there, she's cooking and I said, pause with the banjo.

So anyway, I just thought.

Ignore

him.

Yes, please.

This is delicious.

This is absolutely fantastic.

I'm not just saying that.

It's good stuff.

Thanks for coming in and treating us and just having some fun with us this morning.

They were here last night too.

So they did double duty for us.

Oh, you did

Pete?

Yeah.

We slept in the studio.

Did you?

All right.

Pulling the night shift.

They may or may not have had a couple of spotted hanging out someplace ago.

I'm

just saying.

All right.

Jim was brinking up Sunday before we left outside about what you guys do for the community.

Talk

a little bit about that.

That's a priority for you

guys.

People know, but

those who don't know need to know.

Yeah, we do some fundraising nights at individual stores.

We have an email you can email into if you're a group, a church, a school, you know, sports team that wants to raise money.

So that's pmwisconsin.com.

If you ever want to send an email there, we'll return it and get back to you.

And then we also do some pizza sales where we've raised $2,000, $3,000 for some causes that people give.

We give them the sell sheet.

They can go sell and they make certain dollars for pizza.

Yeah, we've raised a lot of money.

What a great

asset to the entire community.

Check

all the boxes.

That's awesome.

You guys are the absolute best.

Nikki and Danny Bame, Green Bay Pop and Murphy.

You got to check it out, folks.

It's truly, it's truly fantastic.

Thank you both so very, very much.

Not anymore.

This show is Big Daddy D.

You never know what you're going to get out there.

Shelly likes it.

Hi, Bob.

Dennis Pettiers of the Glam Band.

How you doing, brother?

I've been.

Ask around.

I'll tell you what.

I heard you guys at the Sardine Can the other day from upstairs our studio here.

You guys were rocking that joint.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

Joints need rock, too.

You've been busy, haven't you?

Yeah, we've been busy.

It's just getting crazy.

12 shows this month.

And yeah, just trying to keep everybody moving.

Absolutely.

Well, this is

so great.

So DaddyDProductions, you guys are finishing up.

Shall we talk to us here?

We've talked here.

I know.

How mad were you at me last week when I pointed

out something about your husband?

I laughed really hard.

I can't believe I was up early enough to even see it.

He gets that a lot.

Don't worry about it.

I was really proud.

Really proud.

Now, if people didn't...

weren't tuned in, I'm the dum-dum that had my shirt on inside out.

Because

I dressed in the dark.

Barely

noticed

it.

They wouldn't have noticed it if you didn't see anything, John.

John was the compassionate host who pointed it out.

Just when I forgot.

For the rest

of the show.

Okay, can I just say something?

Dennis was over there and he was going...

I never

let facts

stand

in

the

way of a good story

Just so you know

Facts ran out kind of like in the 90s.

They had their they had the facts.

Yeah.

Yeah.

All right.

Daddy D with American machines and you guys.

OK, talk about the difference between or is it what you're doing at the Riverside and your last show is what tonight

tonight?

Yeah, we're doing the old time rock and roll show.

That's with our Daddy D productions group.

That's the big group.

We've got a full band.

We've got four vocalists, all kinds of production.

Kevin that tonight.

Kevin Van As is with Alicia, Michelle plays the violin, all kinds of

Amazing folks.

I'm sure a lot of people have seen you, but you really bring the energy to that room.

I mean, that's, yeah, you're pointing to him.

You're a big part of it too.

I'm there too, yes.

But

yeah, we talk, Daddy, about Green Bay has got some great companies and what they give back, but you're one of those.

I mean, we wouldn't call you a company, but you're, you just do a lot

for Green Bay.

Well, everything do for better.

19 years.

Yeah, it has, right?

19 years we've been doing this.

I can't believe it since we were how old, babe.

Seven.

Seven.

Yeah.

Seven.

You guys went to school together, right?

Yeah, we did.

Seat

Norbert

College, baby.

There

you go.

Your college is seven?

Yes.

Tonight is military night for the Green Bay blister.

Oh, I saw that.

Both you and

you, both veterans, thank you for that.

Hey, man.

Hey, well, by the way, we're going to be there.

My lovely spouse and I will be at the game tonight.

Awesome.

Awesome.

That's a good

time.

Army guy.

Hula.

Hula.

Yeah.

So we enjoy every one of our shows, no matter where we are or where we go, we like to introduce the veterans.

And I will tell you, it's because it's a tradition, it gets lost on me.

And when it starts to, somebody comes up and says, what a big deal it is to him.

And then it brings it back like, oh, this is really a good idea to do it.

The audience loves it.

You

both raised your right hand.

Said you're ready willing and able to put your life in the line for our country No matter what happens after that it's out of your control But you had the courage to raise that right hand and that means everything

I

was going

to say, let me count the ways it's out of our control.

No,

no, indeed.

That's a fact.

Despite the

promises of a recruiter.

Well, you know, it's funny.

I was I went down to the MEP Center and I was going to be a newscaster.

Me too.

And the guy switched me.

He goes, wouldn't your parents rather have an engineer?

And he signed me up to be a demolitions engineer.

What a weasel.

Oh, I don't know.

I

think fighting land mines is a pretty good thing that.

I mean, Dennis

introduced these people.

They're going to

send me overseas to be a

behind the lines radar guy

sending

up radar communications behind enemy lines.

That's what they're going

to do to

me.

Yeah.

Well, you're smart

enough.

You'll figure it out.

Okay.

Right.

Yeah.

And when you got our smaller group, American Honey, there's four of us.

Shelly, myself, Tony Pezzavento and Alicia Michelle.

Sometimes we go as three, but a lot of times as four as well because the summers, a lot of people aren't going to pay for a ticket to sit inside.

We kind of go around the places with the four of us and play a lot of, you know, more intimate venues and all that kind of stuff.

intimate that's what the love is yeah what are you gonna sort of play for us to do a little Johnny Cash this morning oh I would love that why wouldn't we huh hey man you want me to chime in or no uh shelly

yep let me take

your part

you're singing your

head

daddy's saying bass

And I hear the whistle blowin' On down a ceiling joint When I was just a baby Mama told me, son Always be a good boy Don't you ever play with guns But I shot a man in Shino Just to watch him die Shot him twice And I hear the whistle blowin' I hit my head and cried

Yeah?

Hey!

Now, you want to send out a verse to all the folks in

the great state of

Wisconsin?

If the city that you're from isn't in this song,

It doesn't mean we don't love you.

It just means it doesn't rhyme with anything.

We're starting Appleton.

You know what?

Two.

What?

Two?

That was awesome!

That is good.

How long did it take

you to get all the

ones down?

I would love to tell you it took a long time, but some of the stuff comes, that was a quick one, for whatever reason.

Well, I grew up in Howard, so I kind of knew all of those places there.

There you go.

That is

fantastic.

I was waiting to see how you'd find a way to fit a conema walk.

A

conema walk, yeah.

I do want to say that that's emblematic of your shows.

They are local.

I think part of the reason that you guys were born and raised here, but secondly, you just

Love this community, you can tell when you're up there.

Well, thank you so much.

We try and implement local things, but not too local, because you never know who's out there.

In fact, we did a show for the American Legion, and this is about to...

two years ago, and it was a local show, and then there was somebody in the audience, and they're like, hey, do you guys travel?

And I'm like, yeah, we'll travel.

They're like, well, we have the Midwest Convention, and we'd like to bring your group to the Midwest Convention.

Might be in Minnesota, it might be in Iowa, it might be in Illinois,

and she might

be in Wisconsin.

And I said, okay, we had the day open, they're like, good, I'll call you in a week.

They call back, they're like, hey, good news, they planned it, it's in Wisconsin.

at Oneida Bingo and Casino.

And I'm like, okay, well, that's fine, which was great.

And we had about five, 600 people at this thing.

We do the show and I get off the stage and the person stops me and they're like, hey, do you guys travel?

And I'm like, yeah, where are we going?

Like Croco

or whatever,

you know?

And they said, no, a little further than that, you give me your phone number.

I'm gonna text you.

There's a committee.

You tell them what.

They tell you, I'll tell you what they tell me will make this happen.

Here, it was the national president of the American Legion.

They flew us out to Charlotte, North Carolina, the whole group, and we performed for all of them there in Charlotte.

So we had the entertainment for the National Convention.

You're not by chance doing the Wisconsin Convention this year,

are you?

We are.

We're doing the Midwest

Convention

this year, yeah.

You know the featured speakers?

Who's that?

The mayor?

Tell him, Shelley.

It's my nose.

Oh, that's fantastic.

Yeah.

Well, we'll save us a seat.

Absolutely.

That'll be

fun.

And listen, I'm not.

I don't want you to think that I'm saying that to brag.

I'm not.

We're not saying that to break what I'm.

I'm just very proud that we can do a mom and pop.

That's what I want to say.

A thing that can travel nationwide and people dig it, man.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

What a song about

it.

Yeah.

Right.

Dennis, there's something special.

OK, so.

So you have the glamban and then you have your acoustic group almost exactly along the same lines with them Sometimes it's nice to break away and do something a little bit more.

What's the best way of put it?

Not personal but more

from

you know what I mean?

It's a different different approach all together different different brain cells are being used

What do you guys enjoy more?

Well, you know at this point

Gotta catch me on ask me on what night yeah, but it's one of those things like you know I'm getting a little bit older my wife never ages But sometimes when you do we do the smaller group show you'll have people who have no idea who you are They didn't pay you to buy a ticket there They're not just coming to see you and if they still turn around at the bar stools and clap

then you should still be doing it.

And if they don't, then maybe, maybe it's time to think about, you know.

Don't think

about it too hard,

man.

Maybe the conversation's pretty heavy.

Maybe that advice goes for radio hosts, too.

I'm just saying.

How dare you, sir.

What are

you

talking about, Schwabba, that way?

Who writes your shows?

Too much time you spend doing that.

They're different.

That's this guy.

You do, huh?

Well, that's a good... He actually... You know, sometimes it'll be new material at rehearsal that we have no idea it's coming.

He wrote a parody on a song from Get Back, and it is about his...

Is it uncle or grandpa?

Grandpa Jojo.

Oh, nice.

Who clucks like a chicken.

Yeah.

And you guys would not believe how funny it is.

It

was really dumb.

We also, like, I like

to do a parody, like

if Elmer Fudd was really cast as Danny Zuko in Greece, you know, Wabbit season, had me a blast.

It was fun, you know.

Is it

more, okay, when you guys, like, Dennis, when you do your little acoustic.

Yeah.

ensemble and you guys is this more of the real you versus the characters you play in the bigger events?

Is this more of the real you coming out?

Yeah, I think so.

And it's the music that we picked that we can do of all the genre.

Exactly.

Yeah, I think especially I think when in this element you're actually digging deeper into yourself.

You're actually finding more of more of really who you are.

And on the fly.

That's

what I mean.

And it's a real present.

Our drill sergeants would always say, situation awareness will keep you alive on the battlefield.

And I also want to say, and on the

stage.

Because there's something to it.

It's an incredible alertness.

as you're doing this, you're trying to entertain, and something comes up on the fly, and you figure out something different, something new, comes out of your mouth you never thought of, never would have thought of, comes out, maybe sometimes people laugh, maybe they won't.

But you'll

have

that.

They do, they do.

I was just looking at my phone, but I, pictures when you were that Elmer Fudd thing with the, I have pictures of that, and that was hilarious.

We got set up right, but I gotta tell you one thing that blew me away what you did one night, Shelley, I was backstage with you guys at the Meyer years ago, and you did the Lucille Ball thing?

Oh yeah.

Oh my god, that was incredible.

Nice.

Oh, that was

unbelievable.

We can't get rid of that

bit.

Yeah.

Don't.

Don't.

It's

unbelievable.

We get started at Quick Break.

Back with more Big Daddy Deep Productions, our live music series reminder of the mayor and American honey back after

You know, it's funny.

She was great.

Well, I would I would transfer the phone because we were it.

I mean, we're truly a mom and pop.

So that helps a bunch.

But we'll have people and I call they leave a message.

I give Michelle back.

But yeah, we were at the point where a mom was helping out.

My mom's 80.

medical thing.

Perfect.

Yeah, go for it.

All right,

a special medical alert here.

Not that we need to give John any more ammo,

back order on it right now, maybe next year at the Bell and Run.

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

And here are your hosts, John Mino and Jim

Schmidt.

Oh, here we go.

We are back.

Hey, welcome again.

We're outside right now with Danny Bain.

Green Bay Papa Murphy father's day demo for pizza and I'll tell you what I'm Jim I've talked about this for I'm gonna build a wood-burning pizza oven in my yard Okay, and Danny this tastes like what I would assume my wood-burning pizza is going to taste like just like it.

Yeah Papa Murphy's makes great pizza and we've been going to your place for but it's cooked in the oven you cook this on the grill

Yeah, this one on the grill.

It's just new.

No, we've been trying to get people to grill.

Cooked pizza on the grill.

What

a great idea.

What are the... Nikki's actually doing the work.

Cheers,

Andrew.

He's just taking

credit.

Nikki, come on over here.

You're running around doing all the work.

He's just here to be a big time guy.

Taking the credit.

These are so good.

Thank you.

I'm glad you're enjoying them.

Oh, man, are we enjoying them.

Absolutely.

They're tasty, fresh made this morning by yours truly.

And we're glad to be out here today.

It's a beautiful day in Green Bay.

What's the

secret of getting this crust so good?

Actually, we go on every day early morning.

We make it fresh.

But then with

the grilling part, give us some secrets on grilling it so you don't burn it or so it's not too raw.

Sure.

I like to proof my crust.

So a lot of times you're going to leave your pizza in the refrigerator to keep your toppings all nice and fresh.

But you're going to want to pull that out and let it actually come to room temperature for about an hour.

And then you're going to want to put it into the oven or onto the grill.

It has a different flavor.

Doesn't it, Jim?

Yeah, absolutely.

I've never

had smoked pizza.

And I

love your pizza.

Excellent.

The charcoal really does make a big difference.

I've heard people are getting more creative with their smokers.

But I'm a little old fashioned.

I like to sit out in my lawn chair, enjoy a drink, and grill out.

But you put that even on,

I have gas grill, but you put those wood chips in there.

That gives it that smoke

flavor.

So I'm going to try that.

Yeah, absolutely.

And for

Father's Day, I still like to grill, but the kids can buy the pizza.

Yes.

And it's a great recommendation for babysitters.

If you and the wife maybe want to go out and have a more special dinner,

You know, you can get pizza and have those kids all happy at home as well.

Yeah.

And the freshest pizza, too.

I mean, you guys are

all about this.

This is, I mean, I'm not joking about this.

This is delicious.

This

is really, really good.

And it's unique.

It's pizza like I've never tasted pizza before being grilled.

Yeah.

Do you guys use any special type of charcoal or anything?

No, she just

bought some.

Really?

I like to stay away from the briquettes.

They don't burn as fast.

Okay.

So I like to get that hardwood clump stuff.

But, you know, like you were saying, there's plenty of different flavors.

But don't discount the wood chips on the

gas grills.

Yeah.

Could you do this?

OK, you were talking about camping and different things.

Could you do this over a wood fire?

Yeah.

The tripod, absolutely.

OK.

We have a

piece of stone that's on the grill.

So if you do that, it just helps disperse the heat a little bit.

You just don't want direct heat onto

the pizza.

God, so it doesn't

burn?

Correct.

You want to do it on indirect heat?

So

this is good for any I mean how

many different pizzas do you have like a

million?

I've never been a fan of like vegetable pizza you guys put a vegetable pizza on there I just had it

Tastes completely different than any vegetable people.

It was

a recommendation.

That's one of our gourmet delights.

And it's very popular among our guests.

Wow.

Guilt free pizza.

You

can try

to

go.

I know, right?

Get the

veggies

in.

Oh my

gosh.

Yeah.

This is so good.

And I'm not just saying that I've never tasted pizza with that kind of a flavor before.

Yeah.

And Danny, you I think a lot of us, while people listening, they listen, you know, here, Mantua, Appleton, Oshkosh.

We're your locations.

You guys are you're you're.

You're big time.

Oh, we have just the location of bandits walk one there and then five in the Green Bay area.

So one in Howard, two in Green Bay and then two in Depeer.

And then we have five in the Appleton area as well.

There's also a location.

It's got like 14, 15 locations.

That's

awesome.

Yeah.

Got to keep Nikki busy.

Who came up with that?

Officer Craig.

Officer Craig.

We need somebody to get officer.

Look at that.

He's fading away to nothing.

Bring him

some pizza for crying out loud.

Look at that poor guy.

Oh my gosh.

You're looking good, Craig.

Yeah, Craig.

Have a little something.

Have some nourishment if you're going to patrol our streets.

My goodness.

Or the cop's pretty good clients.

The cop's a good pizza guy.

Well, Officer Craig, how are you, sir?

Officer Craig, have you ever had a grilled pizza before?

I

have not.

You're going to

love this.

I can't wait to see it.

Fantastic.

This is unbelievable.

Go

step inside.

Don't try taking it from Jim.

You do not want to try taking it away from Jim's hands.

This

is good stuff.

Oh, man.

This is great.

This

is a piece

on the diet of police

officers.

Absolutely.

Of course.

Pizza and donuts.

That's right.

So this is Papa Murphy's.

You know, they have great fresh pizzas.

You can get anything you want.

So do I, right?

They're just great.

Bring that home and throw it into the oven.

throw it on the grill.

I'm going to do that this weekend with wood chips because I have a gas grill.

That sounds fantastic.

That's

what she said.

It can work.

I'm going to give this a whirl.

Oh,

look at that.

I know, right?

Yeah.

Breakfast pizza, right?

Yeah.

Absolutely.

Doesn't even just

smell good?

Lunch pizza,

whatever.

Did bacon and Canadian bacon on that one?

Just like a... Oh, yeah, back bacon on there.

Oh, I'm basically Canadian, so I can call

it back bacon.

That is

awesome.

What do you think, officer?

Great.

Awesome.

Isn't that great?

Mm-hmm.

Nicky, tell us a little bit about how long you have to cook it to make it like that.

I would say roughly around 15 minutes.

Okay.

If you like it crispier, you know, you're going to want to leave it on there.

Some people like their pizzas a little more doughy, so low and slow is the way to go with that.

Okay.

We do have multiple crusts, so we have original crust, thin crust, and we have a gluten-free option that we did bring today for everyone to try.

We're

eating gluten-free.

Can you believe that?

That's what we're eating.

Yeah, yes.

It's good for you.

See, John,

you can do this.

And it's very healthy.

What

is

he always looking at me when he talks about stuff like that?

I was looking

at your gut.

Oh

my

God!

This is great.

Wow.

So tell me a little bit how you came up with this.

Give us a background on Papa Murphy's.

It's been such a staple in the community.

Yeah.

The brand is about 30 years old, but it started out West and there's been some stores that are 20, 25 years old around here.

Wow.

But yeah, we've been around in the community.

do a lot of fundraising in the community.

I know you do.

And definitely try to just get to know our people, get to know our guests.

And

it's not an easy gig because everybody has their own type of pizza they can do.

And you guys have found a way to make a niche that is just truly successful.

Yeah, definitely try to make it easy.

Don't have to go out and have an expensive meal or chase the kids around and keep them corralled at home.

Wow.

However, people say that once a while.

There's a lot of pizza places.

But pizza is the number one food that people want.

Hands down over sub sandwiches cheeseburgers hamburgers.

It's pizza.

Yeah,

I mean there's a market there, too You just like Johnny just said you kind of carved out a really cool niche that you make it as fresh as can be and yeah, take it home and boom Yeah, but if you

don't have good crust we've talked about

this.

You don't have

good pizza Yeah, you put any topping in the world on top of it doesn't matter

Jesus cheese cheese cheese But even when we before we put it in the the oven room temperature is what we or is that just for the grill

just because ours is fresh dill

That's why she's talking to proof the crust up to room temperature.

So that'll help

it crisp up when you put it in the oven.

Okay,

and then

what's the other thing you're the cinnamon roll thing you got coming on?

Yep, so we actually have that on the grill right now.

That is a dessert option that we offer I like to switch it up a little bit for breakfast.

I like to have it with my coffee It's kind of a sweet and savory, but I also know the kids love it late at night.

I mean, it's a great simple treat

So it's not done yet.

That's on the grill right now, right?

Tell

Officer Craig to leave it alone then.

Absolutely.

Tell him to wait.

Just a few more

minutes please.

He's getting a call.

He's got to run to something so

beat it up

he's like how

they can wait I'll

be there soon I'll

be there when I get there thanks for coming by buddy thanks for all you do thank you that's awesome so tell me a little bit more about if somebody buys this is great and I still think camping wise this would be great when you got the

You got the little fire going out there in the campground or whatever.

Tell me how somebody can do this.

You need one of the tripod type things, right?

Correct.

OK.

And then that's going to have a grate over your fire.

Right.

And you're going to want to let your flames get down real low because you're going to want to use those hot coals just like if you're cooking anything else.

That's what I was going to ask.

More over the coals than the flames.

Correct.

OK.

You can order ahead.

You can call.

You can come in store or you can do the online options.

We have a lot of deals available and discounts available.

A lot of people like to get them on Friday and then they're going to wrap them up and take them up north for the weekend.

Do they

come frozen when they buy

them from you guys?

Absolutely not.

So they're never frozen?

No.

That's

the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't

it?

That's the

difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't

it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference,

That's one of the things that separates yours.

That dough is always fresh.

There's really no difference between a frozen pizza and your pizza.

I mean, it's just your pizza is so much better because the frozen has, I like it.

Oh man, we're back up.

You

just said there's no dirt in the frozen pizza and their people.

I

think you got that wrong.

You had a big difference.

Totally wrong.

Huge

difference.

Huge difference.

Big difference.

Big difference.

90 is what you're trying to say.

Big difference.

Are

your taste

buds working this morning?

They are.

That was good.

That's still.

Yeah, I am.

The big difference is what I'm

saying.

But here's the deal, though, too.

When you cook something like this, do you?

OK.

And I'm a crust guy.

You know, you gotta have the, and I like the thinner crust more than the thicker crust.

Okay.

Do you scorch it a little bit?

Do you check the crust to know when it's really done with something like this, when you're cooking it over a grill like this or over a campfire?

And the thin crust will definitely cook a lot faster.

Right.

Yep.

But always keeping on rotating it too on the grill.

Obviously you can get some of those hot spots.

Right.

Keeping rotating the crust and checking the crust off.

And I mean, peel it up a little bit.

Obviously we have the white tray that keeps it very easy to cook to give a little barrier, but.

Tell a little bit more about that stone you were talking about.

Yeah, so you can see Nikki has a stone.

So it just helps move the heat around so you don't get those hot spots.

But having a pizza stone, they're very cheap at a store.

Oh, I've never seen one of those

before.

Yeah, so

then you can put the pizza right on.

And we have the white tray that we use.

So you can see that gets a little brown on the

bottom.

So you don't put the pizza actually on the actual grates?

We do.

Not on the grates.

That's really OK.

Got it.

OK.

But

definitely helps with grilling, for sure, to keep the crust from getting.

You know,

and those stones aren't that expensive.

I mean, yeah, I'd never heard of that before.

Yeah.

And on the campfire, too, put the grill, put the stone on the great same thing.

Wow.

Yeah.

Jim, I'm shocked that you don't know that this isn't,

you know, one of your in your real house.

Yeah.

And I use the grill like I'll use it in the winter, too.

Yeah.

It's right on the deck.

Yeah.

But you make your own pizzas.

I do.

Great.

I

do because I like him.

Oh,

he's big time in this.

Yeah.

I do like pizza.

This is really, really, I'm telling you, I've never had, is it called smoked pizza or just pizza on the grill?

No, pizza on the grill.

Just pizza on the grill.

Pizza on the grill.

All right, it's great.

Love it.

And what did you just make?

What is on there?

That's going to be our cinnamon meal.

It's going to be our dessert option.

It has a delicious cinnamon granola-y, crispy.

Cream cheesy deliciousness.

I don't sound good at all.

Why is it going to be ready?

I just heard Officer Craig put on his brakes.

He's coming back with a siren on.

Like she said

with coffee, that would be great.

Absolutely.

Wow.

How many

varieties of pizza does Papa Murphy's have?

And I know I kind of said a jazillion, but I mean, do you get custom, right?

Yeah, so you can get create your own on Tuesdays.

That's going to be our special.

You can create your own up to five toppings or we have our signature pizzas or any of our gourmet delight pizzas available.

And you can come in and meet with somebody like my wonderful self.

And I would love to take your order and make your pizza for you.

What's your

background on this, Nick?

How'd you get so good at this?

I honestly give credit to the boss.

Yeah, right here.

Come on.

Honestly,

I'd have to give

credit to my kids.

My kids

actually worked for Papa Murphy's before me.

They started when they were 14.

And I used to stop and visit them just to get pizza and to get that employee discount that they had.

And it was great.

Well, she's very honest.

I met the boss and the owners and we kind of hit it off right away personality and work wise.

And I just kind of dug right in.

I learned about pizza dough and I learned about, you know, yeast and all the

baking kind of metrics, and I just ran with it since then.

Danny, how is it the employee basic?

If I'm a good employee,

that's always the challenge, right?

We're very lucky to have awesome people that work with us.

That's the key.

We've had managers that have worked with us for 15, 16 years.

We have new

people that have new high school kids.

They

graduate eventually, but yeah, we have a good mix of veterans and new kids that...

That's

awesome.

It's their

first job of their junior senior in high school and

get to make some money.

I don't want to gloss over it.

You do a lot of charity work for the community.

I mean, your name's on a lot of things.

You're helping high schools, booster clubs, all that kind of stuff.

And with that, we're

going to sit our quick break.

We're going to be moving inside.

We're going to be back with more with Papa Murphy's.

Folks, we can't say enough good things about how delicious this is.

Back, mine on the mayor, right after this.

So I chose this hot never plays a song without a meeting.

I chose this song because you guys made the dessert.

The cinnamon

desert.

I was, you know, if you had given me a multiple, I would have guessed that.

Would you have?

I would have.

I said that really smells good.

That is cinnamon.

You can smell it outside.

Get real close to those mics, guys.

Yeah, pull on up.

Papa Murphy's this morning, man.

Um, Danny.

So you guys can be one of a weekly presence on this show.

Yeah.

How hungry are you guys every hour?

Oh

my gosh.

I was just, I was like running around and every time I ran past out there, I grabbed another piece.

It reminded me of a fourth of July, pulling into my, my aunt's camp is we call it up in the UP and they'd have, you know, the fire going out there

and

the, and the, and stuff.

And that was because that.

I still think smells conjure up memories better than anything.

And the smell of you guys roasting that pizza out there brought me back to those memories.

Just that smell is awesome with that crust.

Isn't it though?

Yep.

There's just nothing.

Nothing quite like it.

No.

Brats on the grill and hamburgers and celery.

I mean, that's a whole nother smell.

But yeah, pizza on the grill is just fantastic.

Danny, tell us what locations you're involved with.

Yeah.

So Danny Bain, by the way.

Yep.

The Howard location to in Green Bay on Main Street Mason Street and then both the locations into peer and then locations in the five and Appleton Tell me where you are into peer into peer at East to peer in West to peer.

Yeah, and I'll tell you what with you guys though to people When they when they buy your pizza they take it home and they cook it anywhere they want Okay, and we've all been to pizza places where it's like that crust wasn't done well enough or that crust was too well done and you know what?

That's the best part about doing it.

Absolutely.

Do it

exactly

how you want to do

it.

Yeah.

I would just recommend to people like 15 to 18 minutes on the tray.

If you want a little crispier, it'll easily slide off there for another two minutes.

And that's how you can kind of dial in your crispiness.

I'm, I'm, I always kind of look at the bottom when I get a pizza.

Cause I want to see a little bit of that scorchedness.

Color is flavor.

That's the tasty part.

And that's the thing is okay.

So Jim was talking, he wants to try that, but you want to do what?

with your brick, the hardwood?

Oh, I have a gas grill.

So I'm going to put in wood chips.

I've

never heard of that.

So

that's the way we do smoked chicken, right?

Because I don't have a smoker, although I should get one because they're not.

But anyway, I don't have a smoker.

My brother does.

Oh, you got to get one.

But if you put wood chips with some water in there, that will create that same smell that you're

getting

off the charcoal.

So that's

very expensive.

So when you do that, when you get that going, do you keep the lid on to keep all the smoke

in?

I do,

because

if you're...

Because

that's what you're doing, right, Nick?

Yes.

That's what also helps to melt the cheese.

Right.

If you're

looking, it ain't cooking.

Oh, my gosh.

What?

Todd.

Todd.

What?

I'd like a little cinnamon roll.

You want me to bring you something?

That would

be kind

of nice.

I mean a piece

of

cinnamon roll?

Todd, I'm doing it for our clients.

I'm doing it for them.

Again, I do

everything

for the

people.

But Daddy, just tell us about online, our website, just so we can order.

Absolutely.

So we have an app.

Or you can go to our website, patmurphy.com, place your order.

You can give the stores any store a telephone call and go ahead and place your order.

Or you can come right in and place your order with one of our wonderful staff

members.

We also run multiple specials on Tuesday.

We have our large pizzas are 10.99 and our families are 13.99.

Yeah, that's amazing.

And you can create your own.

And it's really fun to see the different recipes and combinations that the guests come up with.

And then like Father's Day, for example, we do do a special promotion.

Dads love pizzas along with grandpa's.

So we will have a special promo going for that.

This is horrible.

Absolutely.

It's breakfast.

It's delicious.

Oh my God.

Tell us again what this is.

So this is going to be our cinnamon meal.

This is going to be our dessert option.

It's got a cinnamon butter spread and then it has a granola brown sugar crisp that goes on the top.

I went ahead and braided the crust for you guys this morning to give you a little bit more of that flavor from the grill.

There are multiple options available online that people create their own items with our pizzas.

They take them home and- This crust is

perfect.

You see what I mean about that scorch underneath?

Wonderful.

That's perfect.

Excellent.

When we buy that, that comes with the butter.

Yep, that comes with the butter.

Okay, cool.

And then we also have... Just for

the butter.

Just so

you know, don't come, just get the butter.

Extra cups, only 50 cents.

All right, all right.

We have a lot to

say.

I'm gonna use this butter on

my face.

Yeah,

okay.

This is so good.

Yeah.

That smells great.

Yeah, good.

You gotta try it.

Here,

seriously, try it.

Do you have, okay, this is cinnamon.

Yes.

Do you have other varieties or cinnamon?

Cinnamon is primarily our staple right now.

Yeah.

Sometimes we'll get lucky and we'll run up special limited time only option, but right now we're focusing on our limited time only as a pizza option.

We have our summer selects available right now and it's a great deal.

They're only $8.99 and there's a couple options that you can choose from.

and it's just great for the summer options.

Not only for adults, but kids.

Kids in high school, you got any young boys.

I mean, their friends are coming over, grab up a pizza.

Everybody loves pizza,

right?

And

when kids come over, it's pizza, pizza, pizza.

But I can't, okay, you get up, you're camping someplace, you get out of the tent or whatever.

Mama or whomever has this cooking on the grill.

Mama, mama.

And you walk out, how great would this be to have a camp site?

And pause with the banjos.

What?

What did I say wrong?

Mama.

And

mom was

there, she's cooking and I said, pause with the banjo.

So anyway, I just thought.

Ignore

him.

Yes, please.

This is delicious.

This is absolutely fantastic.

I'm not just saying that.

It's good stuff.

Thanks for coming in and treating us and just having some fun with us this morning.

They were here last night too.

So they did double duty for us.

Oh, you did

Pete?

Yeah.

We slept in the studio.

Did you?

All right.

Pulling the night shift.

They may or may not have had a couple of spotted hanging out someplace ago.

I'm

just saying.

All right.

Jim was brinking up Sunday before we left outside about what you guys do for the community.

Talk

a little bit about that.

That's a priority for you

guys.

People know, but

those who don't know need to know.

Yeah, we do some fundraising nights at individual stores.

We have an email you can email into if you're a group, a church, a school, you know, sports team that wants to raise money.

So that's pmwisconsin.com.

If you ever want to send an email there, we'll return it and get back to you.

And then we also do some pizza sales where we've raised $2,000, $3,000 for some causes that people give.

We give them the sell sheet.

They can go sell and they make certain dollars for pizza.

Yeah, we've raised a lot of money.

What a great

asset to the entire community.

Check

all the boxes.

That's awesome.

You guys are the absolute best.

Nikki and Danny Bame, Green Bay Pop and Murphy.

You got to check it out, folks.

It's truly, it's truly fantastic.

Thank you both so very, very much.

So DaddyDProductions, you guys are finishing up.

Shall we talk to us here?

We've talked here.

I know.

How mad were you at me last week when I pointed

out something about your husband?

I laughed really hard.

I can't believe I was up early enough to even see it.

He gets that a lot.

Don't worry about it.

I was really proud.

Really proud.

Now, if people didn't...

weren't tuned in, I'm the dum-dum that had my shirt on inside out.

Because

I dressed in the dark.

Barely

noticed

it.

They wouldn't have noticed it if you didn't see anything, John.

John was the compassionate host who pointed it out.

Just when I forgot.

For the rest

of the show.

Okay, can I just say something?

Dennis was over there and he was going...

I never

let facts

stand

in

the

way of a good story

Just so you know

Facts ran out kind of like in the 90s.

They had their they had the facts.

Yeah.

Yeah.

All right.

Daddy D with American machines and you guys.

OK, talk about the difference between or is it what you're doing at the Riverside and your last show is what tonight

tonight?

Yeah, we're doing the old time rock and roll show.

That's with our Daddy D productions group.

That's the big group.

We've got a full band.

We've got four vocalists, all kinds of production.

Kevin that tonight.

Kevin Van As is with Alicia, Michelle plays the violin, all kinds of

Amazing folks.

I'm sure a lot of people have seen you, but you really bring the energy to that room.

I mean, that's, yeah, you're pointing to him.

You're a big part of it too.

I'm there too, yes.

But

yeah, we talk, Daddy, about Green Bay has got some great companies and what they give back, but you're one of those.

I mean, we wouldn't call you a company, but you're, you just do a lot

for Green Bay.

Well, everything do for better.

19 years.

Yeah, it has, right?

19 years we've been doing this.

I can't believe it since we were how old, babe.

Seven.

Seven.

Yeah.

Seven.

You guys went to school together, right?

Yeah, we did.

Seat

Norbert

College, baby.

There

you go.

Your college is seven?

Yes.

Tonight is military night for the Green Bay blister.

Oh, I saw that.

Both you and

you, both veterans, thank you for that.

Hey, man.

Hey, well, by the way, we're going to be there.

My lovely spouse and I will be at the game tonight.

Awesome.

Awesome.

That's a good

time.

Army guy.

Hula.

Hula.

Yeah.

So we enjoy every one of our shows, no matter where we are or where we go, we like to introduce the veterans.

And I will tell you, it's because it's a tradition, it gets lost on me.

And when it starts to, somebody comes up and says, what a big deal it is to him.

And then it brings it back like, oh, this is really a good idea to do it.

The audience loves it.

You

both raised your right hand.

Said you're ready willing and able to put your life in the line for our country No matter what happens after that it's out of your control But you had the courage to raise that right hand and that means everything

I

was going

to say, let me count the ways it's out of our control.

No,

no, indeed.

That's a fact.

Despite the

promises of a recruiter.

Well, you know, it's funny.

I was I went down to the MEP Center and I was going to be a newscaster.

Me too.

And the guy switched me.

He goes, wouldn't your parents rather have an engineer?

And he signed me up to be a demolitions engineer.

What a weasel.

Oh, I don't know.

I

think fighting land mines is a pretty good thing that.

I mean, Dennis

introduced these people.

They're going to

send me overseas to be a

behind the lines radar guy

sending

up radar communications behind enemy lines.

That's what they're going

to do to

me.

Yeah.

Well, you're smart

enough.

You'll figure it out.

Okay.

Right.

Yeah.

And when you got our smaller group, American Honey, there's four of us.

Shelly, myself, Tony Pezzavento and Alicia Michelle.

Sometimes we go as three, but a lot of times as four as well because the summers, a lot of people aren't going to pay for a ticket to sit inside.

We kind of go around the places with the four of us and play a lot of, you know, more intimate venues and all that kind of stuff.

intimate that's what the love is yeah what are you gonna sort of play for us to do a little Johnny Cash this morning oh I would love that why wouldn't we huh hey man you want me to chime in or no uh shelly

yep let me take

your part

you're singing your

head

daddy's saying bass

And I hear the whistle blowin' On down a ceiling joint When I was just a baby Mama told me, son Always be a good boy Don't you ever play with guns But I shot a man in Shino Just to watch him die Shot him twice And I hear the whistle blowin' I hit my head and cried

Yeah?

Hey!

Now, you want to send out a verse to all the folks in

the great state of

Wisconsin?

If the city that you're from isn't in this song,

It doesn't mean we don't love you.

It just means it doesn't rhyme with anything.

We're starting Appleton.

You know what?

Two.

What?

Two?

That was awesome!

That is good.

How long did it take

you to get all the

ones down?

I would love to tell you it took a long time, but some of the stuff comes, that was a quick one, for whatever reason.

Well, I grew up in Howard, so I kind of knew all of those places there.

There you go.

That is

fantastic.

I was waiting to see how you'd find a way to fit a conema walk.

A

conema walk, yeah.

I do want to say that that's emblematic of your shows.

They are local.

I think part of the reason that you guys were born and raised here, but secondly, you just

Love this community, you can tell when you're up there.

Well, thank you so much.

We try and implement local things, but not too local, because you never know who's out there.

In fact, we did a show for the American Legion, and this is about to...

two years ago, and it was a local show, and then there was somebody in the audience, and they're like, hey, do you guys travel?

And I'm like, yeah, we'll travel.

They're like, well, we have the Midwest Convention, and we'd like to bring your group to the Midwest Convention.

Might be in Minnesota, it might be in Iowa, it might be in Illinois,

and she might

be in Wisconsin.

And I said, okay, we had the day open, they're like, good, I'll call you in a week.

They call back, they're like, hey, good news, they planned it, it's in Wisconsin.

at Oneida Bingo and Casino.

And I'm like, okay, well, that's fine, which was great.

And we had about five, 600 people at this thing.

We do the show and I get off the stage and the person stops me and they're like, hey, do you guys travel?

And I'm like, yeah, where are we going?

Like Croco

or whatever,

you know?

And they said, no, a little further than that, you give me your phone number.

I'm gonna text you.

There's a committee.

You tell them what.

They tell you, I'll tell you what they tell me will make this happen.

Here, it was the national president of the American Legion.

They flew us out to Charlotte, North Carolina, the whole group, and we performed for all of them there in Charlotte.

So we had the entertainment for the National Convention.

You're not by chance doing the Wisconsin Convention this year,

are you?

We are.

We're doing the Midwest

Convention

this year, yeah.

You know the featured speakers?

Who's that?

The mayor?

Tell him, Shelley.

It's my nose.

Oh, that's fantastic.

Yeah.

Well, we'll save us a seat.

Absolutely.

That'll be

fun.

And listen, I'm not.

I don't want you to think that I'm saying that to brag.

I'm not.

We're not saying that to break what I'm.

I'm just very proud that we can do a mom and pop.

That's what I want to say.

A thing that can travel nationwide and people dig it, man.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

What a song about

it.

Yeah.

Right.

Dennis, there's something special.

OK, so.

So you have the glamban and then you have your acoustic group almost exactly along the same lines with them Sometimes it's nice to break away and do something a little bit more.

What's the best way of put it?

Not personal but more

from

you know what I mean?

It's a different different approach all together different different brain cells are being used

What do you guys enjoy more?

Well, you know at this point

Gotta catch me on ask me on what night yeah, but it's one of those things like you know I'm getting a little bit older my wife never ages But sometimes when you do we do the smaller group show you'll have people who have no idea who you are They didn't pay you to buy a ticket there They're not just coming to see you and if they still turn around at the bar stools and clap

then you should still be doing it.

And if they don't, then maybe, maybe it's time to think about, you know.

Don't think

about it too hard,

man.

Maybe the conversation's pretty heavy.

Maybe that advice goes for radio hosts, too.

I'm just saying.

How dare you, sir.

What are

you

talking about, Schwabba, that way?

Who writes your shows?

Too much time you spend doing that.

They're different.

That's this guy.

You do, huh?

Well, that's a good... He actually... You know, sometimes it'll be new material at rehearsal that we have no idea it's coming.

He wrote a parody on a song from Get Back, and it is about his...

Is it uncle or grandpa?

Grandpa Jojo.

Oh, nice.

Who clucks like a chicken.

Yeah.

And you guys would not believe how funny it is.

It

was really dumb.

We also, like, I like

to do a parody, like

if Elmer Fudd was really cast as Danny Zuko in Greece, you know, Wabbit season, had me a blast.

It was fun, you know.

Is it

more, okay, when you guys, like, Dennis, when you do your little acoustic.

Yeah.

ensemble and you guys is this more of the real you versus the characters you play in the bigger events?

Is this more of the real you coming out?

Yeah, I think so.

And it's the music that we picked that we can do of all the genre.

Exactly.

Yeah, I think especially I think when in this element you're actually digging deeper into yourself.

You're actually finding more of more of really who you are.

And on the fly.

That's

what I mean.

And it's a real present.

Our drill sergeants would always say, situation awareness will keep you alive on the battlefield.

And I also want to say, and on the

stage.

Because there's something to it.

It's an incredible alertness.

as you're doing this, you're trying to entertain, and something comes up on the fly, and you figure out something different, something new, comes out of your mouth you never thought of, never would have thought of, comes out, maybe sometimes people laugh, maybe they won't.

But you'll

have

that.

They do, they do.

I was just looking at my phone, but I, pictures when you were that Elmer Fudd thing with the, I have pictures of that, and that was hilarious.

We got set up right, but I gotta tell you one thing that blew me away what you did one night, Shelley, I was backstage with you guys at the Meyer years ago, and you did the Lucille Ball thing?

Oh yeah.

Oh my god, that was incredible.

Nice.

Oh, that was

unbelievable.

We can't get rid of that

bit.

Yeah.

Don't.

Don't.

It's

unbelievable.

We get started at Quick Break.

Back with more Big Daddy Deep Productions, our live music series reminder of the mayor and American honey back after

this.

So I told her we'd still

be

friends And we made our

true love fell Shot at the webbing I missed who we

It seems... But... Those were bad...

What's that done?

so much

right

We will, we need it.

We really need it.

Dennis

You know, it's funny.

She was great.

Well, I would I would transfer the phone because we were it.

I mean, we're truly a mom and pop.

So that helps a bunch.

But we'll have people and I call they leave a message.

I give Michelle back.

But yeah, we were at the point where a mom was helping out.

My mom's 80.

Remember what tell sec was

a big thing back in the day.

What did you should have tell sec or something like that doing something?

I don't well, you know, I

like to talk to people, you know, I like to be but you're a busy guy, you know Yeah,

medical thing.

Perfect.

That was perfect.

Yeah, go for it.

All right,

ladies and gentlemen,

Come on, man.

We need summer.

We lost like a

we lost a good month of summer if you could like you know middle of may when it gets nice haven't we

yeah i don't know about a month but it at least hasn't been consistent that's the problem it's been cold hot and

John Maino

come on time but this weekend this week

but you know these graduation parties you kind of hope it i

John Maino

know absolutely

and um you know i was looking ahead i talked to britney on monday but you know tuesday you know big multiplying at that park across the street you know i hope you're coming to that but you know let's put the

Forecast was rain like 70% rain.

Yeah.

So I'm like, are they going to call it off?

Or might they reschedule?

They're like, um, we're busy all summer.

There's

Kathryn Lake

no

rescheduling.

This is it.

So

anyway, but it looks like it's going to taper up.

But as long as it's going to be 81, which is good.

Yeah.

So.

Alright, but anyway, this is cold these next couple days.

John Maino

I remember we had Dom's graduation party and the night before it was the worst storm I've ever seen blow through I mean like I said, it was like the old movie twister when neighbor stuff was just flying through the air through your yard or I lived like on Grace Hill or where that that wind would just come up It was incredible.

It was like build momentum.

Yeah.

Yeah, what I mean you could see it just build as it would come up and And then the next day it was 96.

I was too hot

Thank God we had one of those big tents.

Okay.

Yeah, but we somebody actually brought one of those big Todd What are they the farm fans the barn fans?

Yeah, the big cool cows or something right?

Yep.

Those things are a man.

Those things work great.

Oh, yeah, they move the air that holy cow But you know not in a way that it like blows you over.

Yeah, it just

Those are I mean if people have outdoor vents where it's super hot I don't know where you'd get one

right after we're about that now.

John Maino

No, I don't

but But was that to cool down the cows?

Todd will keep the air moving.

Yeah.

Yep.

Keep some cool air going.

John Maino

Yeah, those are amazing.

Yeah Well, we're a tiny note.

I when I tore down this one barn this one time.

Yeah, I wish I would have saved this what were the Okay, two things were

They would have like there's this one thing.

It was in a pile of junk.

So I pulled it out, but it was like almost like it was a chicken with the arrow.

Yeah.

John Maino

So whether they yeah.

Yeah.

Those are cool.

John Maino

But it also had wires coming out of it was or were those also lightning rods?

I'm thinking probably at some point it was.

Okay.

Yeah.

Was it like copper wire and stuff

John Maino

like that?

Well, it was coated, you know, whatever.

But yeah,

probably.

John Maino

I wish I would have saved that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's cool.

I love lightning rods.

You can sometimes you'll like be going through an old antique store or something

John Maino

like

that and you'll find them with the glass ball still on them and stuff like that.

No

kidding.

Put those in your backyard, Jim, in your orchard.

Those are collector items, huh?

See that, you guys?

I just, you know, I see it's weed your garden day today, but hey, I went out to that orchard.

I'm doing it.

You're going to do the orchard?

I'm pretty sure.

Talk to the guy.

John Maino

What was there before?

Is there ever a house there?

Where I am?

Yeah.

In that lot?

Okay, then I'm metal detecting it before you turn over the soil.

I'll give you half of everything I find.

You can have it all.

But this orchard, I look at the trees, the pears, apple, cherry trees, and the trees, they were good-sized and they'll bear fruit in like two years, which is

John Maino

perfect fruit.

Well, okay, Todd, can you go back a couple of days ago, Jim, one of our guys, Jim, Jim F. He put, he's very, very into, he did a big thing for you about two days ago.

or two or three days ago, and we're really talking about growing things.

He put in there specifically the types of things you should grow and how long, I mean, he had this thing down to a science.

He put it on our Facebook.

You can find that.

I don't want a garden, Johnny.

I want you.

John Maino

You don't have to.

It's all trees.

This wasn't a garden.

He was talking trees.

That's what I wanted.

But he said this specific type of tree, exactly how long it would take if it's this big.

He had this thing down.

Jim, if you could send that again.

Jim, F, I won't say last name, but Jim F.

I'll get it here.

Okay.

Yep.

Um Talk to the guy and I said, what's can I do this?

Yeah, you just got to water it a lot.

Look at that.

John Maino

Well, okay, let's pick it right there I mean it but I told you I screwed up my arbor vitis because he said I water him too much Oh, yeah, I did say that.

Yeah, so it's and I had I know another guy out in Green Greenville and he'd help me but he and same thing and he goes, you know

I watered the hell out of those and they die.

Yeah, so there is a fine line.

I did get his car.

Just yeah, I I'm not kidding, you know, I planted trees one summer.

Did you?

John Maino

Yeah.

Like an orchard tree?

John Maino

No, well, it was a couple of months worth up in northern Minnesota.

Oh, it's where a forest fire had gone through and wiped out pretty much everything.

So they were replanting pine trees.

Yeah, right.

But it was easy.

You'd have this like spade type thing and you'd just, you know, stuff it in like that and just pull it back and you'd put in the thing and then stomp it down.

We planted like thousands

of them.

No, this is going to be eight.

Oh, that's it?

That I looked, I measured between the trees.

It's going to work.

I think that's going to be like, I don't know if this works.

I'm not going to try for three, four or five years if it doesn't work.

I'll take them all.

But I just think that's because, you know, like your grandpa.

You want something cool at your

house

versus, you know.

Yeah, no question.

The other three I'm competing with.

Do you mow that now?

It's mowed.

John Maino

Okay, somebody mows it,

yeah.

And fertilizes it.

I mean, it's... So, yeah, I just... Okay.

If we put those in space and mow it right, I think that could be... I don't know, I just think they're gonna like that.

Going over to grandpa's picking some stuff and... I

John Maino

don't

know.

Donna can make some maybe

pie.

I'm

not

John Maino

up

here with that.

We can be old-fashioned, get the Big O apron on and... Yeah.

Donna's okay with that?

Call one of your

John Maino

grandkids

shortcake.

John Maino

Give her a little

bonnet.

Yeah, we're gonna do something.

I'm not done with the final presentation yet, but this guy was very helpful yesterday at Bellevue.

They did two of these orchards in Bellevue.

John Maino

The trees were like 150

bucks,

John Maino

but I'm gonna get a better deal.

That was what I was gonna get at next.

You can go buy some little seeds to

grow your

John Maino

vegetables.

If they die, they die.

Big deal, you buy another pack of seeds.

When you're putting in that kind of money, I would have somebody that really has it down to a science when to water, how much to

water.

get the tree so in two years it's

John Maino

it's good

yeah I would rather spend a little bit more money get the mature tree

John Maino

yeah

we went to pickles and bags I

saw the pictures

That

is a place that was that place was awesome.

He's got that VIP lounge in there for parties and birthday parties.

John Maino

I can't think of a better place to have like, okay, like I was talking class.

What a great like class reunion place that would be.

You know, if it wasn't a huge club, I mean, yeah, those pit that pickleball we put that was fun.

That's

very cool.

It was interesting seeing you guys in action.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Very much.

It was good.

It was good.

John Maino

I got

cancer in my

face.

Yeah, that's right.

What about you, Jim?

I had the wrong shoes on.

I had the wrong shoes on.

I was wearing sunglasses, too.

John Maino

We're afraid to scuff up the

corner.

I was going to go out to the car and get my glasses.

I wasn't sure.

That bar was pretty cool.

That's really

nice.

Huge.

That place is really nice.

Did you guys play Jeff a little bit or not?

Yeah, I did.

Yeah.

Jeff's good.

I mean, he's really

John Maino

good.

I did all right against him, though.

Jeff's really good.

John Maino

Our sales guy, Peter,

is

John Maino

that the world's most coordinated human being?

No, no.

John wasn't very, John, you could have been nicer.

He's like, he was, Peter was trying.

And he was, he was like that.

John Maino

Were you giving him hell?

Well, he wasn't giving him hell.

He just, he, the kid was trying.

John Maino

I just told him to get off the

court.

He did.

He

John Maino

did.

Give me somebody else I can play with.

You did.

I did.

Anyway, I want to do that once I'm feeling I've been up and running it is a really anybody in the Oshkosh area out in Oshkosh area You want to hold an event for your work party right anything like that?

John Maino

I wonder if, can you heat up cheese, like if he cooked a bunch and you have, Bron, could you like microwave them and, um,

maybe.

I mean, at home, I wouldn't microwave them.

microwave just softens

everything.

no I just we had that but we say girls and we only said But that you're right the guys didn't really do that and no, but I mean but with all I think more guys do now.

Oh, yeah, there's no doubt Yep, that's what I was kind of laughing about but they those patterns and they put like the Like just really like paper.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, you remember that exactly all

John Maino

over the house exactly.

Yeah

That's exactly it with the little pins.

Yep pins all over the place.

Yeah, the pat.

Yeah, no question about it.

That was the big thing making their own clothes.

Yeah, kind of brings back the memories of macrame days.

Yeah, a

little

John Maino

bit.

Same era.

Yeah.

It's National Movie Night.

Nice.

Nice.

Pete Schwabba can talk a little bit

John Maino

more about it.

Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah.

You know, movies just.

It's lost it a little bit hasn't it though.

I mean remember in our era Where like a new movie would come out and it's like big news because there's so

many now streaming and

John Maino

that's what I mean

20 screens it used to be one or two movies would be at a theater So it's like big deal, but everybody would go see

it.

It's also

there's

more competition.

I mean, that's what I'm saying Yeah, I'm talking about movies.

I'm talking about like The Meyer theater there's a lot to do right like if you're gonna do something on a weekend

I don't know if that movies would be on the top of my list with all the I brought today What's going on this weekend and just in Green Bay.

It's unbelievable

John Maino

Well, the thing is okay, so we had we had a little movie theater in my hometown Then what an issue between one of our cat, okay?

And like I think it was Thursdays when they would always have in the paper first thing you do in the paper What new movies

around

John Maino

97.9 FM WGBW 98.3 96.5 FM WISS in the Civic Media app and I'll tell you what we had a nice time in Oshkosh yesterday.

I'm not even joking about that.

I enjoy that right down in the mornings.

Now because it's late at night.

Yeah, I

didn't like it when

John Maino

it was dark o'clock.

Was

that cool?

It's great.

And it's but we're talking

When you're gone, we had somebody come in from I don't swam across something and she's like, oh my god I can't believe how aggressive the people are driving in the morning.

John Maino

Oh, well that yeah,

but you know what people at 435 5 they're going somewhere.

Yeah, they got to get there, right?

I agree co-host Shannon.

Oh, Shannon did you know what I and she came from so much because She usually just goes to work at like eight.

Yeah, but she's like, oh my gosh I couldn't believe how and I was I noticed that yesterday, too I think people were kind of jockeying to get to where they were going

John Maino

I think 41 is worse than 43

Because the other morning when I had to go to Manitowoc early for my doctor's appointment It doesn't seem as everybody's going for I I'll put it on I put my cruise on 78 Yeah, and I just getting that right and I just not good a jockey in between yada yada yada, but 41 man You got to have your head

on a swivel.

Well, it's it's narrower that and that's why when they widen it's gonna be great, but you're right.

It's

Yeah, you gotta watch what you're doing

John Maino

and the other thing is and I'll argue this till they close the casket on me The person driving down the highway in the right hand lane Okay, does not legally have to give the person coming onto the highway access the responsibility is up to the person

On the exit on the on ramp.

It's their responsibility to adjust their speed to blend into traffic It's not the responsibility of the person on the right.

I mean, come on move over.

John Maino

Why because why does it why can't the other person adjust?

Because there's other cars behind them.

John Maino

No, no, no, no, no, no As a cop ask any police.

Do we have any police officers out there any police officers

professional courtesy?

Just move over man.

John Maino

I almost said the F word.

I almost said the F word

bleep courtesy when some ass is coming in all arrogance screw you get out of my way I almost just gave a finger you bleep you bleep you who's next that's my attitude

the password is yeah a hat that's just how I feel all right

I think there should be some responsibility there on both ends, but what bothers me is when you're driving in the right handling, and you can't get over.

Right.

There's other traffic there.

John Maino

Right.

And they won't adjust their speed.

Right.

Look,

that's different.

Yeah.

And then you're,

John Maino

you know what?

Go, I don't give a crap if you have to ride on the solar.

I'll go, I won't, there's times, I'll be honest with you.

And I'm not an aggressive driver, but I'll be honest with you.

There's times I thought, okay, you're going to be a jerk about this.

You're just like expecting me to go in.

So you slow down.

I will go the exact same speed.

So go ahead, drive on the shoulder for a while until you adjust, buddy.

Boy.

That talk about road rage.

It's not that's starting that though.

No, it's not it's it's it's called

John Maino

the safety responsibility

the safest The safest traffic at the same speed that's that's safety.

It's safety whether you go 90

John Maino

any state police officers listening and then to make that all

work You don't want to do that slow down.

So that's the accident,

John Maino

but if that's the okay, that's the state rule

Why not follow the state rule?

Well, the state rule, we should find people for big times hanging in the left lane.

That too,

John Maino

I agree

with that.

Now that's where I get a little bit

aggressive.

John Maino

I agree with that too.

People

are actually texting in that word like it's our Scotty Summer word.

John Maino

Scotty Summer word.

Ryan, thank you.

Hey, that's one for the bingo card.

Exactly.

Write that one down.

Lisa and I were

working on that yesterday.

John Maino

I know we will.

We got to come up with the bingo card thing.

We'll

get it sponsored and it'll be great.

Yes.

John Maino

All right.

Happy birthday, Mary, Kate and Ashley Olson.

They're 30.

nine years old they've turned out a little I mean they made a billion dollars but a little hard huh yep um Tim Allen is 71 does he still have a show he's he's had like nine different shows and he's the same character in every show yeah

I'm not sure I think he's got a new one coming out or they're gonna do a reboot or something like that of are they

John Maino

I don't know I get some he keeps coming up with these shows and he's the same exact character yeah with just other people around him

Oh, Pamela

John Maino

Or was, was she on, was she on home improvement before she was on Baywatch?

John Maino

Yes.

Yes.

I didn't know that.

That was her first.

Well, she was the Molson girl first.

That was where she was the Molson girl for Molson beer.

Then she did that.

All right.

And then, but here's the deal.

Have you seen her recently?

She won't wear makeup anymore.

Yeah, and she's unrecognizable.

I'm just so attractive and everything.

Yeah, but it realizes what makeup can do for a

person.

I mean really, it's incredible.

Are you thinking about maybe?

John Maino

No, but I will say this.

I used to get this a lot when I was on TV on a regular basis.

And you never quite know if they're giving you a compliment or a little bit of an insult.

Yeah.

John Maino

Oh, you look different than on TV.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

Like, oh, thanks.

I'm better looking.

It

John Maino

could be a weight.

Something.

John Maino

But you get that a

lot.

Yeah.

Tim Allen, though, I told you that I met him.

He's a huge Lions fan.

John Maino

Yeah, well,

yeah.

And it's got a box right next to the mayor.

Oh, OK.

His box is like, you know, there's really very little glass in between.

You can just look over there.

But anyway.

I met him after the game, and he was really true-notice kid for not being home.

Oh, really?

I was like, hey, can I interrupt him?

My kids will meet you.

Oh, wow.

But very cool guy, anyway.

Yeah, he's a huge Lions fan.

Oh, my God.

John Maino

Yeah.

Yeah.

But you're right.

He's kind

John Maino

of typecast.

Exactly.

Same guy all the time.

But if you're making money doing it, what do you care, right?

Exactly, right?

He was in Jackson Prison.

Yeah.

Jackson Prison, Michigan, is a bad place.

Was

it?

Yeah.

Whoo!

John Maino

Very bad place.

Yeah.

And he, he was there, my buddy's there, my buddy's there for life.

And I've seen pictures of him since, kid he went to high school with.

And he just looks like he's gotten hardened.

But he rebounded from that, okay.

John Maino

Yeah, absolutely.

So

these guys don't.

Right.

Yeah.

Anyway,

John Maino

yeah.

Isn't that kind of bizarre when you think about the coke back in the day and you go to hardcore killer prison versus, you know.

I know.

I know.

John Maino

Yeah, yeah of all the things that people do to each other we uh

Yeah, we could refocus our energies to worse.

John Maino

Yeah.

Yeah, I would

John Maino

agree Richard Thomas John boy Walton 73 never did much afterwards, huh?

No, no and again if you don't have to why do it?

How many you got to think about this?

So how many times could he if he goes to a ball game?

Oh God.

John Maino

Hey John boy.

Good night.

Oh

Can you imagine how many people say good night John boy to him

John Maino

that drove Bob Euker crazy?

Hey Bob, you're in the front row.

It amounts to shows called Shifting Gears.

Thank you, Vicki.

Thank you very much.

Vicki's awesome.

Ty.

Yeah, I always when we got questions about things she's awesome She also said celebrities are also fault failing in society and that could attribute to lack of interest in movies I think so too.

I do too.

Yeah, I I kind of do too and then that's one of the reasons that we're not listening to Lisa Lisa Hale anymore because she's falling.

She's so yeah failed us so badly yesterday because

Lisa Hale

you're so

John Maino

mean to us

Lisa Hale

and I

John Maino

mean

Lisa Hale

Hi, how you doing?

John Maino

How you doing?

Lisa Hale

I'm doing real well.

You know, you mentioned movies, but I have to say, nerds, geeks, people who love to laugh everywhere yesterday got such a. Oh,

yeah.

I heard

Lisa Hale

about that boost and we're so looking forward to 2027 because there's going to be a new Spaceballs movie from Mel

John Maino

Brooks.

John Maino

We need everybody to comb the desert report.

What did you find about nothing sir?

How about you nothing sir?

How about you man?

We found I Love Spaceballs I just that's one of those movies You just it's like I was talking if you watch 10 minutes with lethal weapon whichever one it was you remember a couple of weeks ago And it said I laugh more in 10 minutes watching this movie from 30 years ago than any movie that you could put out right now

That's... I've

John Maino

never

seen... I've never seen Spaceballs, but I think...

John Maino

What?

where it's just certain.

Oh, you don't have the

weapon.

No, no,

John Maino

no, you're talking about naked gun, naked gun or

which

John Maino

was a takeoff of lethal.

But it was a spoof or blazing saddles, which is his 10 minutes.

That's all you want to laugh more in those 10 minutes than any of these other funny.

We just got a text from Nancy, who says Bill Pullman will reprise his role as Lone Star and his son, Lewis, will join as his son in the movie.

His name will be starburst in space.

John Maino

Nice.

She's excited about that.

Lisa Hale

That's just one of those movies that I've never seen

John Maino

anything.

Well, you don't need to.

No,

John Maino

you don't need to watch the whole thing.

It's like any of those movies you watch 1050 minutes at a time.

Kind of like airplanes.

Same thing.

Because it's gag after gag after gag after gag after gag.

Really?

Is this funny as airplane?

John Maino

Oh, there's some funny things.

I mean, all right.

I watch it.

It's probably what 30 years ago it came out.

And I can still recite 10 lines from it verbatim.

That's good.

Lisa Hale

Yeah.

All right.

Yeah.

Spaceballs is.

is right up there, you know, with me.

And you went right past Pete's garage bar.

Lisa Hale

You sure did.

Oh, you're kidding.

Nope.

You went right past it.

If you drive, if you drove down Oregon to get to 20th, you went right past Pete's garage bar.

John Maino

Oh, I'll be damned.

We left your place and took a left.

Would that have been open?

Probably not.

Right.

Yeah.

And we're

Lisa Hale

John Maino

Yeah.

Could have called.

Wow.

But there was like those nice little neighborhood type bars that I talk about

It's been phenomenal.

Some day.

Lisa Hale

John Maino

on the menu, Lisa.

Lisa Hale

Oh my gosh.

I am not the best cook.

I love food, but I am not the best

John Maino

cook.

Well, that's all right.

So what's going on this weekend on your great

Lisa Hale

show?

New WISCO weekend this weekend.

It's of course Father's Day is coming up Sunday.

By the way, if you guys haven't noted that, you might want to make a note.

Is it Sunday

John Maino

or tomorrow?

Lisa Hale

I thought

John Maino

it was always the 14th for some reason.

It's always Sunday, John.

Lisa Hale

I didn't know that.

Just like Mother's Day.

It's always on a Sunday.

Did they change that

never?

No, okay.

No Sunday.

All

Lisa Hale

right, it's always in there but This weekend's Father's Day, but it's also flag day as you know tomorrow is flag day and we really talk about flags all over the place American flags.

Yes, our cover story is fly me flag up in Green Bay that is a

They're considered the flag experts.

So they can teach you everything from how to care for your flag, when it's time to retire the flag, what to do, all that stuff.

And it's a wonderful interview with Stacey Stewart from Fly Me Flag.

You

John Maino

know, I know a few of those types of things.

And one of them is, you know, a lot of people, it was like, well, when the sun goes down, you got to take your flag down.

You don't have to if you have a light on it.

Lisa Hale

Exactly.

Yeah.

Exactly.

As a matter of fact, I worked at a

TV station once that had a huge flagpole and a huge flag and we were very What's the word I'm looking for I don't we were very obsessive about making sure that light was always yeah,

John Maino

yeah, yeah, that's yeah, that's the one important

Lisa Hale

thing Yeah, and I remember that that was part of my job was to check the light every night, you know a

John Maino

little thing I collect when I go to I don't go to garage sales much or anything but

even flea markets or NT.

I always try to collect 48 star flags.

Lisa Hale

If you can find them.

John Maino

Yeah, they're hard to find.

And you know, the way you can tell the difference is they are completely symmetrical.

They're completely a rectangle, whereas obviously in the, you know, the 50 flags, they're off spaced, but they are completely boom, boom.

So they're 49.

40 I've never seen a 49.

I

know this 48 for sure

John Maino

right 40.

I want was there ever a 49 star flag

Well, how close for

John Maino

those

two?

John Maino

I think a few months.

We're only a few more than I doubt it.

That's

Lisa Hale

a

John Maino

good boy would that be a collector's item?

Wow

Lisa Hale

What year did we go to 50 stars?

Yeah, you got it.

Right above my bed.

But

that went right past my house.

I used to run down Eliza Street about the ball.

And I did.

I

ran it.

I don't know what happened.

But anyway, we just got a text from Michael who says I'm trying to get that picture of Jim and the shorts out of

John Maino

my mind.

Then he asked if he ever sported

a mustache.

John Maino

Yes.

Did you I've never seen a picture of you in a mustache.

Yes.

I had a mustache for like, yes, I did.

Wow.

Kids didn't like it, but I liked it.

John Maino

Wow.

I'll

show you that.

Okay.

All right.

Yes.

I tell you, when Amanda sent that, but yesterday afternoon, right?

And then I, it's stuff to do last night, but I got up this morning, you know, 330 and that is fun going through those books.

Oh, I mean, I haven't done

that in years.

And I sit it down.

Oh, downstairs.

And, um, but I didn't know there were pictures because I have some pictures of me and my dad.

I wish I didn't read it that way.

I read it pictures of us and our kids.

John Maino

So I read it just pictures of our dad.

Nope.

John Maino

Anyway, you want to do it.

All right.

I'm next year.

I'm

sending some pictures of

John Maino

my

dad.

OK.

All right.

Because, yeah, anyway, that was I really enjoyed that this morning.

There was a lot of fun doing that.

John Maino

Absolutely.

Good morning, fellas.

Good to have you joining us.

We've got a great lineup coming up today.

Mike Byers coming out from Operation Song.

We've got the Blizzard Military event coming up, and we're going to actually play one of the songs that they're

John Maino

I have.

Yeah, that's awesome.

I've also been to one of their, oh, you put the picture on, that's awesome.

Okay, Dono looks about 14 years younger than you.

I mean, if you said that was like you and your daughter from years ago,

wouldn't it though?

that military night that starts outside, you know,

John Maino

Blizzard does a great job with that.

Those guys got to go.

And those operations song things are just fantastic.

Yeah,

Yeah.

So we'll be, we'll be doing that.

Danny Bames joining us along.

I believe Nikki's coming in this morning too from Papa Murphy's.

They've got some stores in Northeast Wisconsin.

Absolutely.

He's grilling some pizza.

He wants to talk about how you can do that for Father's Day.

I've never heard of grilling pizza.

We had some last night.

Really?

Oh my goodness.

Oh my goodness.

So what kind of a grill do you use?

Charcoal or a

John Maino

grill gas?

Well, you saw it sitting out here, right?

Is that charcoal?

So we did charcoal last night.

Wow.

So you're gonna have time to get the charcoal going?

Yep, absolutely.

Oh

yeah.

Oh yeah, we had like three pizzas going

John Maino

last night.

I've never had that.

Me neither.

It solves great though.

Yes,

it sure does.

So we're gonna have him on.

And then later on, the Daddy D's production live music series, there are new sponsor

John Maino

So be sharing some

music from the Daddy D folks themselves.

John Maino

Nice.

They're amazing.

They're fantastic.

Oh, it's like a fun morning, man.

What a great lineup of guests.

And then we have this weekend, there's like I said, a ton of stuff going on Father's Day, Botanical Gardens.

I mean, you saw that and all the free stuff for dads to do.

But Saturday is Juneteenth, which is a big deal.

It's getting more and more popular.

And that this year, it starts with a parade at 1030 at BLM.

And right here on Washington on Webster in Green Bay.

I'm sure they're doing this in Oshkosh and Appleton and everywhere else But and then that goes to joining's park and really kicks off at 1130, but our friend Neil is singing

John Maino

Yeah, let me get back up real quick When's kids day remember you started kids day

25th.

John Maino

Oh, that's okay.

Oh, that's right on air

Christmas six months to Christmas.

Yeah, so we'll we'll have the you know the mayor the day

how they do this contest.

And then the 24th is our two-year anniversary.

Wow.

Right?

24th or 25th?

24th.

I think it's the 25th.

Oh, OK.

Same day.

All right.

Wow.

Anyway, so that's, that's coming up.

It's

John Maino

apropos kids day in our anniversary.

So I'm taking vacation off during the anniversary here.

I don't blame you.

When did you stop running the bell in?

Well, I lived on, like I said, I lived on Eliza and Roosevelt, which is that.

It

John Maino

was

an awesome house where I picket fence.

And it ran right by there.

So

John Maino

I

do have a picture of me running.

I saved that one.

John Maino

In those

shirts?

No, different shirts and blue shirts.

John Maino

Thank God.

I don't know, probably.

Yeah, I don't know, John.

John Maino

You know what I think they should bring back?

I used to run with my sister too.

John Maino

I think they should bring back the old coaching shirts.

Remember the coaches shirts?

They're polyester.

They were longer and they kind of came up.

But if you ever watched the movie Dazed and Confused, it was set in like 1975, or it's set in 1976, because on their last day of school, the teacher says, just remember in celebrating our bicentennial, you're celebrating a bunch of really rich white landovers who wanted to keep their slaves.

They're bike shorts, bike.

B-I-K-E, it's a brand.

It's the same as like the jock straps.

John Maino

You're

right.

And they were polyester, and they'd pull them up over their gut.

Right?

John Maino

Exactly.

Yeah.

But

John Maino

they

would tuck things in.

Yeah.

Well, that's what I'm saying.

John Maino

I know.

I think they should bring those back.

Yeah.

There's some people.

John Maino

I'm in fan of that.

Instead of having to get over, it's

John Maino

more

enclosed.

Yeah.

If you look at old coaches pictures, man, I would never be caught dead in those things.

They'd have knee-high socks.

I would wear gym shorts, gyms shorts before I wore that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But, yeah,

but sometimes

stuff does come back.

You know how we like that

a little bit.

I thought you were going to say, sometimes stuff does come

John Maino

out.

Yeah, that's right.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, gosh.

But they were, remember the shirts you would have in gym class?

Oh, yeah.

They were those small little, short little, even though our basketball, when I see pictures of

basketball.

And those uniforms really changed basketball,

John Maino

right?

Oh, my God.

Down to

the knees

John Maino

and that was always.

For the

better.

Really with the

socks up to the knees

John Maino

absolutely

at the shorts up to your

John Maino

well We decide I come from the era where you also in basketball You would wear the stirrup socks first where they were just in the basketball Yeah, they had no function other than the look yeah in basketball Absolutely, how long ago was that not that long ago?

I was in high school

50 years ago

I mean, yeah, 50th coming up this summer, so I've never seen

anybody play basketball in those socks.

Oh, I'll show

you

John Maino

some pictures right

now.

John Maino

I'm sure he will.

They were a

good-looking thing.

Oh,

John Maino

yeah, especially

on you, John.

OK,

I'm on this.

I'm on this.

For what we do for you every day, come on.

Think about it.

I got a text here.

This is an important text actually in regards to the entire community about an event coming up We got the bell and we're talking with Raleigh Schmidt here a little bit about the Bellum But something that actually is a little bit bigger than that as far as Just the day-to-day getting around downtown Green Bay.

We just got a great question.

You just want to Okay, John.

Do you have any music for such a slow breaking news or not

John Maino

breaking news, but just something

people be

John Maino

aware of here

Ladies and gentlemen, we just had a text coming in that's very, very important for those who might be in downtown Green Bay on the 25th.

The question is, sirs, will the streets of downtown be closed for the show anniversary?

Just trying to plan my downtown traffic patterns.

Funny,

funny.

John Maino

Snarky Brian.

Exactly.

Snarky Brian.

Just for our guests, may not be Raleigh.

Raleigh, last year we had our one year anniversary.

And I was in charge of-

No, wait a minute.

You weren't in charge of anything.

No, no.

No, you took charge of something.

Okay, that's right.

I just, I'm reflecting back to my old days as mayor where I could say that, night without being really interrupted.

Todd,

I was no

longer.

No

longer is right.

And I thought that'd be fun.

We'll have an event.

So I said, let's close the street.

out in front of here, right?

Cause it'd be, have a little band and maybe, you know- Had a helicopter coming over, dropping ping pong balls.

And so I did- This is not turkeys.

Not turkeys.

Not turkeys.

We talked about that.

We talked about that.

So I sent the thing in, closed the street, and then the rest of the deal fell apart cause nobody else picked up their pieces.

So we were here on the 25th, doing our show.

Sitting right here.

Right here, and we're like, ah.

the truck comes with all the barricades and literally we had a gas

John Maino

setting exactly where

you were on and I looked and I

John Maino

saw the big thing pulling a trailer with all these barricades I don't know what's going on there and then I looked and they stopped right at the end here

and they're unloading

John Maino

the barricades and closing off the street

Actually, oh, yeah, I went out there.

Oh, you guys that was that was just Todd's idea.

We're not doing this.

So no, I took the heat on it.

I did I was

John Maino

really impressed that the city actually did

it for it.

They were

John Maino

closing

off the

John Maino

street.

So he has to go running out

John Maino

of

the clout that you carry.

John Maino

I said live very little, but I'm running sprinting.

I've never seen him move so fast like you guys don't do this because last time he moved that fast.

He's wearing the shortest shorts.

All right, that's my job anyway.

Our two-year anniversary is coming up on the 25th.

So it's just one of our, as John so well-labeled him, our snarky listener said, do I have to do my traffic routing?

Because the street's going to be closed.

And the answer is, I don't

John Maino

know yet.

Hey, Brian, we don't know.

We'll

let

John Maino

you know.

It's

on a need-to-know basis.

See if the

John Maino

truck shows up.

The

truck shows up.

Yes, Brian.

Adjust your downtown

John Maino

traffic pattern.

Ron Schmidt, guru on medical for the bell in run and that is coming up and you guys were talking here during the break.

Tell us again and forget COVID when it was shut down.

That doesn't count for anything in regards to, you know, length of service here.

Tell us again how far back this goes.

Okay, correct me if I'm wrong.

You were in like

Junior high maybe when this started

that yeah, well, it's about junior high for me, right exactly.

Yeah, even probably elementary school.

John Maino

Yeah 1980 No, this

started in the 70s right

John Maino

1974 right

74 75 exact number again.

I do medical I don't do math I don't do the hard stuff I do the easy stuff like medical so

John Maino

that's that's before running even became a

Before running was really cool.

Before jogging, it was really cool guys.

Well actually, he goes back to, you know, Anchorman.

Yes, my wife and I are gonna try something.

It's called jogging, I believe.

I believe it's a soft J. You know, I mean, there was no such thing as jogging.

Yeah,

right.

Yeah, it was a kickoff to our hospital, the new cardiac center that we had at the hospital.

George Kerwin had a dream, a vision.

He brought in a couple.

He

John Maino

knew something special.

There's a guy there.

What you talk about, yeah.

George's top notch class that guy.

give you the shirt off his back kind of a person.

He's

a wonderful guy.

What a great story too.

I mean, well educated, but he really didn't start at the top there.

George worked his way

all the way

from the hospital system all the way through and became the top dog at

John Maino

the hospital

and very well respected for it.

John Maino

But was so big into people getting out and moving.

Well, George

was a good example.

He ran that thing, what?

He went out

and moved.

20 years, 25

years.

Yeah, whatever the number is,

exactly.

Yeah, it's a long time.

But what's cool about the bell and we were talking about that is there's

It's this is the 49th running of the bell and and you have 20 guys you said that our story are there women in their tours 20 legends 20 like 20

legends at this time that have run everyone

of

49 Bell and runs

John Maino

That's incredible.

So the oldest right now would be what seven in 70s

all of that would that be interesting to compare his vitals

to the guy that didn't.

I

mean,

that's it.

To mine?

Oh man, you

get your great shape.

You walk

in

and I'm

like, okay, another bell and guy.

So this exciting and 49 years, you got it down, but it's grown.

You've got different heats now, but you still do a great family thing with the parks and it's a great, it's more than a run.

I mean, that's a

festival.

It really is.

It is a community event and the support we get from the community is why we have

49 years

of

successful runs, right?

It starts with our community, it starts with our hospital system, supporting what we do, supporting that vision of getting feet on the street, getting people out there getting healthy, that's really the biggest thing for us.

John Maino

But if you didn't have those people handing out cups of water and don't, you wouldn't have the

runs.

Our volunteers, our corner volunteers, our, you know, race pack of volunteers, you name it, exactly.

You hit that nail on the head, John.

It really is a community event and we don't do it without

It's the support from everybody.

We're here to talk about the medical team, but I've got 100 medical volunteers.

We don't do this without those people.

We don't do it without the 2000 plus volunteers standing on a corner somewhere telling people which way to go and which cars can't go which direction.

John Maino

Or I know this for a fact with some of those hot days pulling people off the course.

We've had a few of those.

We've had a few of those.

trying to hone that process in and how to help people avoid those situations.

I know a

John Maino

guy that happened to, and at first he was like offended, and then he realized, I didn't even saw pictures of himself, and it's like, holy crap, I didn't realize it.

I thought, well, I got through this.

But you guys really, some of your volunteers really look for signs of, hey,

you know?

We have our medical team, and then...

Some of our volunteers as well, but our medical team is on bikes, cruising the course, looking for those participants that are maybe struggling, whatever.

Our aid stations, as they're spaced out around the course, they're looking for those people to go, OK, bib number 1234 looks rough.

And they'll radio that through to the next stations.

Hey, the guy in the red shirt and bib number 1234, he looks a little tough.

John Maino

That's exactly what happened to my buddy.

And he's like, wow, I didn't realize it.

You know, I just thought, I'll get this out.

I'll tell you one quick funny story.

One of the times I was covering it, they'd have that pickup truck for the media so you could video.

Yeah.

John Maino

And they were going and some kid was like driving or whatever.

I remember.

And the one guy in the lead starts yelling and somebody's.

People like, what's he yelling?

That's what he said.

He's yelling, speed up.

The truck was going too slow for him.

I'll tag along with that story.

I drove the truck one year.

It may have been me, right?

Yeah.

No, I drove the truck one year as part of my medical team.

I wanted to see what the course looked like.

I wanted to be out there.

I wanted to see what that looked like with the elites behind me.

And I'm pacing it.

And my spotter is in the seat next to me.

And I'm looking at my speedometer.

It's 15, 16 miles an hour.

17 miles an hour,

and

he's going pick it up.

They're making a move.

Pick it up.

They're making

a

John Maino

move.

Exactly.

Exactly.

They're making a move.

So I

hammered, and I'm like, it was 16, 17, 18 miles an hour, and

John Maino

I'm

like, these guys are

John Maino

catching me.

And you're right in the back of a truck, and you feel like you're going fast, and these guys are right on you.

Yeah.

Yeah, that was incredible.

That really showed those elite people how fast they run.

They're pretty

darn good.

But the medical team, it's not going to, the heat won't be an issue this year, but.

What are the things you most common out of the PHA treatment?

Our medical team prepares for the worst.

Pray for the best and hope for something in between.

John Maino

And you've had all levels, haven't you?

A few years goes beyond belief, cotton, humid.

We really have.

And so we put, in our medical tent, we have dunk tanks.

The best way to cool somebody is a full immersion.

So we get a...

core body temperature on them, and then we cool them as quickly as we can by putting them in a cold water bath, basically.

We actually had a gentleman speaking of funny stories or scary stories.

Maybe it might be, gentlemen stopped Randy Van Stratten in the hospital a year or so ago.

Randy told me this story and he said, hey, you don't know me, but your medical team saved my life.

Wow.

And Randy's like, you know, kind of taken back.

He goes, really?

What happened?

He goes, well, I had a heat stroke.

I was unconscious.

Your team wheeled me in.

put me in the dunk tank, and I walked home with my family that day.

Wow.

Yeah.

So that's the type of stuff that, you know, like you said, we'll do everything from...

John Maino

What are they?

Explain the silver, like, blankets that you give people.

So the Mylar blankets are obviously a very thin space blanket,

John Maino

if you will,

right?

So it's a heat retaining blanket.

People get chilled as soon as they stop running.

John Maino

Right.

Okay, so in a day like tomorrow, we might see a few more of those heat, or they're done Saturday, excuse me, we might see a few more of those Mylar blankets going out because it's going to be cool and rainy and everything else.

Your body temperature is up really high when you're out

there

running and you're moving around and all of a sudden you stop right away.

It just helps retain that heat is more than anything.

I didn't, I didn't know that,

but I can use a

calcium, right?

A roll of them.

you know, we can put $10,000

on a roll.

Right.

But what I do know about them, they look really cool in the picture.

Absolutely.

You're silver cape.

I don't know if I need it.

I didn't know it was for heat.

I'm just giving you one of those.

Okay, honey, take the picture.

All right, that's, yeah.

Did you run the Bellin?

Check out the cape, sister.

That's what you wanted.

How about, we'll talk a little bit about preparing for it.

And the Bellin, you know, it's 6.2 miles.

It's not a forever, it's not a marathon, but still it's

It's over five.

It's a lot of people's

marathon.

It is, right?

It's that

person who's going from couch to 5k, couch

to 10k.

You do got to train, but little things, twisted ankles, does that stuff happen there?

We see quite a bit of

that.

Yeah.

I mean, orthopedic injuries, blisters, you know, the little minor things, cuts, boo-boos, nicks and,

you

know, scrapes and things like that.

We see a lot of that.

we see hamstring strains and hip problems.

So a lot of that orthopedic stuff we see, and we manage those things many times on course or after the race, maybe they can gut it through and finish out the event.

But I always recommend those people, don't make it your PR today if you're having symptoms.

Stop, make this a fun event.

Make this a fun event.

Don't gut it out just

to gut it out.

And you respect that by the different...

the heats that you had the different times, right?

I mean, you even have a walking section, right?

Absolutely.

So, okay.

John Maino

Yeah.

Can I tell you one thing that has, um, in the back when I used to run, I used to jog, shouldn't say run.

Um, that's always prevented me from taking part in the belly.

What?

What's that?

Listing everybody's times.

I didn't want to be like last in my category.

Do they still, do they still, do they used to be in the press?

Cause

I, but I got

John Maino

guys that's like, okay, my goal.

I don't care if it's 59, 9, 9, 9, 9

is to be

John Maino

under the six.

Oh, yeah.

Right.

That's a lot of peer pressure.

Most people want to run that

that hour.

That hour mark is exactly the magic number.

Right.

And people shoot for that.

And then it was to that.

running your age, which, you know, some of those kids can run their age.

I mean, they're 29-year-olds, you know, they fly through that first.

It's amazing.

It is.

When we see that elite group come flying

John Maino

in, like, full of these

folks.

John Maino

Yeah, that's pretty

cool.

All

John Maino

right, we gotta start a quick break.

Stick around, please.

Rollin', Schmidt.

Medical.

What would be your personal title for this, Rowland?

I'm the medical coordinator.

John Maino

Oh, not enough.

Um, I'd not, six, seven, eight, nine.

Oh, that's a lot.

But it was really fun.

And you know, and it wasn't, you got to train out when you're out age,

It wasn't that much training, maybe, you know, a week.

Now you have to train, you know, a couple months, and now Johnny and I got trained like a couple years.

But it's just so much... I just like the spaghetti dinner.

I like...

Going with my kid, I like the family part of it, the music, the event after and all the kids, the little kids got, all their bibs were number one.

So there was no, you know what I mean?

I thought it was just, you got like cool stuff over there.

Do you still have the half

John Maino

bananas

at the end?

We

still have bananas at the end.

I mean,

you can't have a race without

bananas.

No.

God no.

So, all right.

And in terms of, I mean, you're the medical guy for the whole thing.

You see, you have a hundred.

of you guys there yeah there's roughly a

hundred volunteers medical volunteers in our first aid tents uh out on the bikes everything else and then add in our green bay fire team you know we're we got quite a few folks running around

Roland has that changed you know you've been doing this for 49 years but did they always submerge people in that no that's that's fairly well not

Fairly new

John Maino

and you know When that became a big thing in like professional sports when Corey stringer for the Minnesota Vikings exactly it died of heat Exhaustion and then and every NFL team from them and college football That's exactly when they started doing the big for lack of better words dunk tank type things

correct And that's exactly it John the the Corey stringer associate Corey stringer Institute and the National Athletic Training Association

my organization that I work with and work under, that's really where the big push came and the research came with, hey, this saves lives.

This saves lives, right?

And cool first transport second mentality has actually even, you've seen it just recently in the news, some of the fire stations out west and in California, you're like, oh, we're doing dunk tanks and this is new information.

Dude, we've been doing this

John Maino

for

20 years,

John Maino

you know.

So it's really cool to be able to do that.

I was lucky enough to work with the Green Bay Fire Department many, many years ago now already and bring that information and bring that research to them and say, hey, this, this saves lives.

And I had, I had descendants going, no, man, you put somebody in a dunk taker to kill them.

You give

John Maino

them a heart attack, you give this,

you give that, whatever.

And the research just didn't show that.

And it showed

John Maino

obviously the opposite.

The quickest way to lower that body free from like a lethal.

to at least get it down below that line, right?

Your

body is cooking from the inside out

John Maino

at that

point, so we have to get you

John Maino

cool.

You'd have to take a drastic measure.

Correct.

The advancement, I mean, that's changed.

I mean, the Superman capes weren't there 49 years ago.

Correct.

And to keep your, you said to warm your body, right?

Because it's chilled, that's the reason for those.

But some of this stuff is...

49 years, like the half bananas.

I mean, some of this stuff is traditional, right?

John Maino

Yeah, absolutely.

So we've

got a lot of really cool changes, you know, and we, every year you think, oh, it's medical, it's medical, medical.

You don't do anything different in medical, right?

You treat the people the same.

We don't.

Every year we look for advancements.

This year we brought in hands-only CPR.

So we're offering an opportunity for volunteers, spectators, you name it, to participate in our medical team as a medical volunteer.

by recognizing sudden cardiac arrest on the street.

John Maino

I was going to ask you, because Mark Houston brought in the, I can never remember the name of them, the small units.

The ADs.

Yes.

Yeah.

And anybody can use them.

I mean, it talks, it talks right through it.

How do you guys distribute those throughout a course?

So we have, as I said, we have athletic trainers on bikes.

Right.

Our Green Bay Medical.

guys are on bikes as well.

We have firefighters on bikes.

They are all carrying backpacks with AEDs in them.

John Maino

Got

it.

All of our aid stations have AEDs at them as

John Maino

well.

Got it.

So we have an opportunity to get them out to the facilities right away.

John Maino

Because really, if something happened, what is a time span?

What's that, the golden time or whatever they call it?

So gold

standard from, if you look at sudden cardiac arrest in that, in that it regards, if you look at sudden cardiac arrest, gold standard.

to get hands on chest to start CPR.

Gold standard is one minute.

Well, we certainly can't accomplish that with our bikes,

right?

It's gonna take us a minute to get that call to our incident command center, us to dispatch out that individual to that location.

So that's where our volunteers are so important.

That's why we're doing the hands only CPR training.

We want our volunteers to recognize, boy, if somebody falls down in front of me, it looks like they're not breathing.

It looks like they're pulseless.

Get

John Maino

something started.

I should

start CPR.

I should start hands-only CPR for this victim.

And I can help save a life as

John Maino

a volunteer, as a

spectator.

Interesting.

Wow.

That's why

we're pushing this right this year.

We'll have opportunities for our community members, our volunteers, spectators, our runners to learn hands-only CPR at our expo tonight.

So

John Maino

that's fantastic.

That is awesome.

Yeah.

One of the things that we, again, looking for enhancements every single year to our medical team, to our medical program.

This is one of the things that we brought in this year as an enhancement to it.

Very cool.

They learned that this weekend.

You can

literally learn hands only CPR.

It's a minute 47 second video and probably two or three minutes of practice.

No kidding.

Under five minutes, you can learn how to save a life.

And you just do that.

until you guys show up.

And

so one of us shows

up with an AED.

That could be another two, three minutes.

That's correct.

And that can make the difference.

Your

steps for sudden cardiac arrest, when you witness a sudden cardiac arrest or when you witness a collapse, you're not sure what it is even.

You can start CPR.

It's OK.

It's safe to do

John Maino

that.

It's

not going to hurt them.

John Maino

It's not

going to hurt them, right?

If you're not sure what their breathing level is,

They're

not

breathing good enough for me, and we should start CPR in that

situation.

This is great information, Rowan.

Check all the boxes.

We're so lucky to have Bell in here.

Just everything, right?

I mean, the health care, the cardiac.

And then to do this for the community is just awesome.

Thank you.

All right, I just ask

John Maino

one personal question.

Yeah, okay,

Ron has one.

Do you guys

John Maino

still get mad if a non-runner like myself wears a belling t-shirt?

We love it.

We love it.

Thank you so much, Roland Schmidt.

He is literally the guru for the medical information for the bell and run coming up tomorrow.

Thanks for everything you do.

And thanks for putting together such an amazing event for our community.

Thanks for having us guys.

We really appreciate

John Maino

it.

49 years going back after

this.

John Maino

There we go.

I'll tell you what, a lot of great things taking place this week.

And of course the bell and run and the great event that the Green Bay Blizzard puts on on a regular basis.

Todd, I want to talk a little bit about that buddy.

Mike Bayer is on with us from Operation Song to get us into it.

Good morning, Mike.

Good morning.

Mike, thanks for doing this.

This is such a great event here in Green Bay.

Just to honor the military that funned into our football game at the rush, at the arena.

And you're going to really enhance that with this military appreciation.

Right.

Tell us about it.

Yeah.

So, I mean, we're super excited to just be back in the Green Bay community.

You know, the folks up here are just phenomenal.

They love the military.

They love music.

And, you know, what better

organization to bring up there than Operation Song.

It's just, it's powerful and just a great addition to a military appreciation night for sure.

We're so thankful to Green Bay Blizzard and everybody out there.

John Maino

And Mike, for those that don't understand or don't realize what Operation Song is, could you go ahead and give us a thumbnail sketch one more time?

What exactly you guys do?

Absolutely, yeah.

So we're a nonprofit that pairs professional songwriters with veterans and their families.

to tell their stories.

Since 2012, we have written around 2,050 songs with veterans from World War II all the way up to post 9-11 and including their family members.

We understand that family members serve just as much as the veterans did.

And so we want to honor all of them and tell their stories through song.

2,000, did you say?

2,050, yeah.

John Maino

And you guys haven't been around that long.

It's not like you've been around for 30 years.

Yeah, well, I mean for a nonprofit doing what we do, we consider getting past 10 years of success.

But yeah, it's been incredible and it just keeps growing.

And so we're so proud of what we do and grateful just to be able to have the chance to bring it into a community like Green Bay.

John Maino

Can you describe the process, Mike, if somebody wanted to have one of their family members or friend or whomever veteran, if they want to take part in something like this, could you tell the process, please?

Yeah, so the process is if we have a lot of opportunities for veterans and their families to write You know the the easiest way is to reach out to us through the website and we can write virtually with anybody across the country So it's it's after after we receive your in-processing application we pair you with a songwriter and you guys

Coordinate when you want to meet and and for how long and they sit down and just work out the song together When I say together, I mean we consider the participant a songwriter It's not our job to write the song for them.

It's it's our job to write the song with them We want them to be an active participant

and it's amazing what you capture in that interview and sometimes those interviews really all that long and they come out with some unbelievable just heartfelt

I don't know, I've just, I've listened to a number of your songs and it's terrific what you do there.

And yeah, it's just, that's a great- Well,

John Maino

they're perfect.

I mean,

these-

John Maino

Well, the musicians

are, oh

John Maino

yeah.

The musicians and the writers, I mean, these people make a living writing songs, right, Mike?

Yeah, I mean they do.

These are all professional songwriters that work here in Nashville and we have a lot in Texas as well.

During the week they're writing two or three songs a day for the industry and we're just grateful to be able to have them participate with us and use their skill and talent to help us tell our stories.

Uh, it is, it is incredible.

It's, you know, it's a process that could take anywhere from an hour to three hours.

And, uh, you know, when I went through it myself, my song was actually written in a span of about 45 minutes.

So it's pretty incredible.

That's cool, man.

And we've been privileged to hear a few of those songs and, um, it just, it's hard to

John Maino

worry.

One of your t-shirts as we speak.

Absolutely.

What you capture is, and of course you got the professional musician and a unbelievable story.

Mike, can you tell us about the song?

We're going to kind of preview here today on the show.

Yeah, so the song is called Love Never Dies and we wrote this last year at our October show in Green Bay with Kathy Trinkler and Taylor Davis was the songwriter and Kathy wanted to write this song for her mom about her dad.

Her dad was a veteran.

He had passed away and she wanted to surprise her mom with this song and that's just such a beautiful tribute.

She did such a great job and Taylor really captured I think what Kathy wanted to say.

Uh, and to see the see the face, you know, her mom's face at the show, uh, when she surprised her with this song, it was just priceless.

Was her dad,

John Maino

was her dad, Gordon?

Uh, you know, I don't know her dad's name.

Okay.

Because he's in my, one of my books that I wrote on World War two veterans, tremendous guy.

Oh, that's

John Maino

awesome.

That's awesome.

Let's give it

a spin.

John Maino

What do you say?

Absolutely.

I believe this is called love never dies.

And you're hearing it first this morning on mino and the mayor.

backseat of the 52 Ford in the winter 61 one look at her was all it took and he was done well they rushed right in it was wedding bells and a baby on the way her uncle Sam came knocking on that door and he had to go away well she lay awake and wonder if he was gone

She would never be alone.

Cause love never dies, it never fades.

Even on the rainy days, you got somebody to help you get on through.

Over six years, they built a life.

They lived in love, laughed and cried, sat back and watched all their dreams come true.

a star and a couple scars some that couldn't be seen and that baby was growing up real fast and soon came two and three it was church every Sunday dinners at five and summers out on the lake a lot of hard work and sacrificing doing whatever it takes love never dies it never fades even on the

got somebody to help you get on through over six years they built a life they lived in love laughed and cried sat back and watched all their dreams come true and even though he's gone he's still right by her side

and trips all over the world watch the pack when the super bowl the fire's still burned hot up until the end when it was his time to go cuz love never dies it never fades even on the rainy days he got somebody to help you get on through over six years they

Wow, that's great Mike

John Maino

is

that you singing?

You know, I wish it was

That's actually Taylor Davis singing.

He's the songwriter that wrote with Kathy.

I

John Maino

mean, if somebody played that on a country station, you would have no idea it was a local type of song about somebody.

I mean, that had every bit of Nashville, any type of song that would be mainstream.

That was fantastic.

The professionalism and the quality is incredible.

Thank you, yeah.

And that's one thing we proud ourselves on is when we tell these stories, we want to

not only tell the story in a way that makes the veteran or the family member proud and honors them, but, you know, is professional and good quality as well.

And so we take pride in that.

Wow.

What I like about that is that I mentioned I was specifically for the person that did the interview, but that could transcend to a whole lot of families.

What you talked about in there, 60 years and, um, you know, that

John Maino

was an amazing tune.

I have tears in my eyes.

Yeah.

That's great.

just

great you know what you 100% correct about that there's so many songs that we have i mean my song was was about my myself and my son i was retiring as my son was joining the army and uh every time that song is played somebody always comes up and says man that's me and my dad's song and that's me and my son's song so we've got we've got a ton of them that just relate to to multiple people right

John Maino

That

is so

There we got Daddy D productions coming up in our live.

Daddy D Productions Live Music Series.

Very, very honored to have them as our guest American Honey will be featured.

Also, also, I, damn it.

You ever have one of those things that's, oh, you know what?

I meant to mention something to somebody.

When we had Roland Schmidt on for the, uh, the bell and run and we're talking about, you know, different things.

Okay.

So the other, I should have brought this up to him.

I wanted to give him some advice on people, um, medically.

Um, so the other night I got a cramp.

in like my foot.

You ever get a cramp in your

foot in the middle of the night?

I thought that was nice that he was here and you didn't do anything self-serving.

It's not about me, Jim.

You forgot about it.

It's not about me.

It's about the people.

It's

about the people.

Right.

John Maino

I'm here for the people.

I'm just a conduit.

No, so I got that.

You ever get a cramp in your foot?

Worse, isn't it?

So I tried putting it, because you can't stretch it out.

Sure you can.

No, you can't.

So I did the old fashioned way.

that completely cured my cramp.

Drink water.

John Maino

Nope.

I drank something, but not water.

What'd you do, John?

Pickle juice.

Took my jar of pickles and I drank the juice and my cramp went

away.

My dad actually totally was on that.

Totally was

John Maino

on that.

Why

would that?

John Maino

I don't know if it's

salt maybe, right?

Something.

It

took

my cramp away, nothing else would.

And if he didn't have that, olive juice.

One or the other,

he would

do.

But above the stove, you always have those little cabinets, right?

That's where he kept his brandy.

Yeah.

Cause he had to have a shit.

Whenever you felt like you're feeling bad, you're gonna say a couple of shots.

John Maino

Boom, you're done.

The pickle juice cured my cramp.

And I meant to mention that to Roland.

They should have like a vat of pickle juice there if people cramp

up.

Get right on that.

Don't why don't you just stretch it out John

John Maino

you can't exist in your foot if it was in my hamstring or my whatever You know you can stretch into all these things with your feet back like tried to but it was like on the top the whole top of my foot the whole point the whole ah fasciitis Type of area.

I don't think that's fasciitis

John Maino

That's the top membrane of your foot is called fasciitis.

Oh my god.

You don't even

know

John Maino

membrane.

Okay.

All right

John Maino

That's I don't think

fasciitis or membrane.

It is it's called

John Maino

your fascia

Membrane it's the top of your foot and that's what was cramping up and pickle juice cured

it that that that's interesting Like I would have just written it off until Todd said his dad used that so but it is it's salt water that does it okay?

That makes sense,

John Maino

but it's the brine.

It's the actual brine that really makes a big difference.

I'm

John Maino

telling you Jim

I'm gonna go to the Bell and tomorrow Johnny and just see if they got shelves and shelves of pickle juice Well, they should they don't next year.

Yeah for the 50th.

Yeah, cuz he talked about how

The medical is advancing every year.

And here we go.

We're contributing.

So fascia is a sheath of stringy connective tissue that surrounds every structure in your body,

providing

support to your organs, muscles, tendons, ligaments, tissue, nerves, joints, and bones.

John Maino

Give me a bell, please.

I

don't

John Maino

think that's

the top portion of your... Neither do I. I think that's around the organs, but I don't know that it's on the surface.

Like you don't have organs in your feet?

No,

no,

no, no.

Muscles,

tendons, ligaments,

tissues, yeah.

Yeah, I'm saying is it bones?

I don't think it's a top layer.

I think that's called skin.

Which

John Maino

one of us major in kinesiology?

Man, it wasn't me, because I didn't know what the hell that word means.

John Maino

Exactly.

Exactly.

Hey, John, what does it mean?

Don't question me on medical things, Jim.

I've studied these things vociferously.

Oh, my God.

It's like Norm Crosby over here.

Anybody ever gets that, right?

Right.

Remember Norm

Crosby?

Yeah, he's butchered everything.

The top of the foot is known as the dorsum.

There it is.

There you go.

John Maino

That's what we're looking for.

Yeah.

There's two different ways to do it.

Latin word or American word.

Same thing.

I mean, same thing.

All I'm saying is pickle juice cures cramps.

I think saltwater

cures cramps.

And I think if one of those pickle juice, it just makes sense to

John Maino

me.

It won't work if you just take a salt shaker and take that.

That won't work.

It's because of the brine because it's developed and it ages.

And that's what works.

Jim, it worked.

I think it worked.

I don't doubt it worked.

I don't doubt it worked at all.

I think that's, but you know, it's part of your mental part of it.

And you know, that's, but I think that's great.

It worked.

It worked for you.

And I think that's, that's what's important.

Todd, your family and for his dad.

Yeah.

Marvin.

Yeah.

That's all I think that's old farm thing.

Do you really think his dad grabbed the pickle juice or touch?

Yeah.

Or the whiskey.

Well, he said there's or the brandy.

Right.

Whatever.

I still think if you talk to a doctor.

I still think they're going to tell you the first thing you should do is try and stretch it out.

But when it's on top of your foot, you can't.

What if you walked on your foot a little bit with that?

That's

John Maino

what I'm saying.

Yeah.

You know, try everything.

Yeah.

I tried everything.

Yeah.

Everything there was I tried.

So I grabbed the pickle juice and it's magical.

I'm not kidding

John Maino

about this.

I like that.

Yeah.

Okay.

What's good?

We will talk

to

John Maino

Mark.

Mark, are you out there?

Do you guys teach that at Bellin?

Of course he does.

We actually got

another text.

Okay.

John Maino

It's the vinegar in the brine.

Okay.

Okay.

Thank you cowboy Dave I bet all farm type people country people know about this probably Because they had to come up with their own, you know types of things You know

mm-hmm.

Yeah,

John Maino

that's

there You're right.

There's a lot of stuff that back on the farm.

This is what the it works It's even today and I'll bet you if you

John Maino

dug out a farmer's almanac.

I'll bet they would say that I bet they would say using

Pickle juice for different things.

Not, okay, I don't know if I want to bet,

John Maino

but not for cramps.

So I started typing in, can pickle juice and immediately on the computer side help with cramps?

Yes, there's evidence that pickle juice can reduce the duration and severity of muscle cramps.

John Maino

Can I please get a bell?

Yes, you can.

Is there too much to ask me to get a bell?

Thank you.

Is that, do you rub it on?

Do you rub it on?

You just drink it.

I'm telling you.

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.

They can bring me the pizza.

John Maino

Oh, here we go.

We are back.

Hey, welcome again.

We are outside right now with Danny Bain, Green Bay Papa Murphy, Father's Day demo for pizza.

And I'll tell you what, because I'm Jim, I've talked about this before.

I'm going to build a wood-burning pizza oven in my yard.

OK.

And Danny, this tastes like what I would assume my

wood-burning pizza is going to taste like.

Just

John Maino

like it, yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Papa Murphy's makes great pizza, and we've been going to your place for, but it's cooked in the oven.

You cook this on the grill.

Yeah, this one on the grill.

Just knew that.

No, we've been trying to get people to grill, cook pizza on the grill.

John Maino

What a great idea.

It is.

Yeah.

What are

John Maino

the, Nicky's actually doing the work.

He is, I know he's just taking credit.

Nicky, Nicky, come on over here.

You're running around doing all the work.

He's just here to be a big time guy.

Taking the credit.

These are so good.

Thank you.

I'm glad you're enjoying them.

John Maino

Oh, man, are we enjoying them?

Absolutely.

They're tasty, fresh made this morning by yours truly.

And we're glad to be out here today.

It's a beautiful day in Green Bay.

What's the

John Maino

secret of getting this crust so good?

Actually, we go in every day early morning.

We make it fresh.

But then with

John Maino

the grilling part, give us some secrets on grilling it so you don't burn it or so it's not.

No, too raw.

Sure.

I like to proof my crust.

So a lot of times you're going to leave your pizza in the refrigerator to keep your toppings all nice and fresh.

But you're going to want to pull that out and let it actually come to room temperature for about an hour.

And then you're going to want to put it into the oven or onto the grill.

It has a different flavor.

Doesn't it, Jim?

Yeah, absolutely.

I've never

had smoked pizza.

And I

love your pizza.

excellent the charcoal really does make a big difference i've heard people are getting more creative with their smokers but i'm a little old-fashioned i like to sit out in my lunch here enjoy a drink and grill out but you put that even on

i have gas grill but you put those wood chips in there that gives it that smoke

so i'm gonna try that yeah absolutely for

father's day what you know i still like to grill but the kids can buy the pizza

yes and um it's a great recommendation for babysitters if you and the wife maybe want to go out and have a more special dinner

You know, you can get pizza and have those kids all happy at home as well.

Yeah.

John Maino

And the freshest pizza, too.

I mean, you guys are

John Maino

all about this.

I mean, I'm not joking about this.

This is delicious.

This is really, really good.

And it's unique.

It's pizza like I've never tasted pizza before being grilled.

Yeah.

Do you guys use any special type of charcoal or anything?

No, she just

bought some.

Really?

I like to stay away from the briquettes.

They don't burn as fast.

OK.

So I like to get that hardwood clump stuff.

But, you know, like you were saying, there's plenty of different flavors.

But don't discount the wood chips on the

John Maino

gas grills.

Yeah.

Could you do this?

OK, you were talking about camping and different things.

Could you do this over a wood fire?

Yeah.

The tripod, absolutely.

OK.

We have a

piece of stone that's on the grill.

So if you do that, it just helps disperse the heat a little bit.

You just don't want direct heat onto the kitchen.

God,

so it

doesn't burn?

Correct.

You want to do it on indirect heat?

Diffuse it?

Lower and slower.

Yeah.

OK.

So this is good for any.

I mean, how many different pieces do you have?

Like a million?

Oh,

absolutely.

You

have a constant signature pizza, and then you can create your own.

We have multiple different sauces.

We have a couple different varieties here this morning.

John Maino

OK, let me just say something.

I've never been a fan of vegetable pizza.

You guys put a vegetable pizza on there.

I just had it.

Tastes completely different than any vegetable pizza I've

ever had before.

It was our recommendation.

That's one of our gourmet delights.

And it's very popular among our guests.

Wow.

John Maino

Guilt free pizza.

You

can try to go.

John Maino

I know, right?

Get the

veggies in.

Oh

John Maino

my gosh.

Yeah.

This is so good.

And I'm not just saying that I've never tasted pizza with that kind of a flavor before.

Yeah.

And Danny, you I think a lot of us, while people listening, they listen, you know, here, Mantua, Appleton, Oshkosh.

We're your locations.

You guys are, you're, you're, you're big

time.

Oh, we have just a location of bandits walk one there and then five in the Green Bay area So one in Howard two in Green Bay and then two in Depeer and then we have five in the Appleton area as well There's also a location

like 14-15 locations.

That's

awesome.

Yeah, gotta keep Nikki busy

John Maino

Who came up with a okay officer Craig officer Craig we had quick need somebody to get off So look at that.

He's fading away to not bring him some pizza for crying out loud Look at that poor guy

Oh my gosh.

You're looking good, Craig.

Yeah, Craig.

Have a little something.

Have some nourishment if you're going to patrol our streets.

My goodness.

Or the cop's pretty good clients.

The cop's a good pizza guy.

Well, Officer Craig, how are you, sir?

John Maino

Officer Craig, have you ever had a grilled pizza before?

I

have not.

John Maino

You're

going to love this.

I can't wait to see it.

John Maino

Fantastic.

This is unbelievable.

Go step inside.

Don't try taking it from Jim.

You do not want to try taking it away from Jim's hands.

No.

This

John Maino

is good stuff.

Oh, man.

This

is great.

I mean, this is a

John Maino

piece on the diet of police

officers.

Absolutely.

Of course, pizza and donuts.

That's right.

So this is Papa Murphy's.

Well, you know, they have great fresh pizzas.

You can get anything you want.

But so do I. Right.

That's just great.

Bring that

home and throw it into the oven.

Throw it on the grill.

I'm going to do that this weekend with wood chips because I have a gas grill.

That sounds fantastic.

That's what she said.

It can work.

I'm going to give this a whirl.

Oh, look

at

that.

I know, right?

Yeah.

Breakfast pizza,

right?

Yeah.

Absolutely.

Doesn't even just

John Maino

smell good?

Lunch pizza, whatever.

Did bacon and Canadian bacon on that

one?

Just like

John Maino

a... Oh, yeah, back bacon on there.

Oh, I'm basically Canadian, so I can call it back bacon.

That is awesome.

What do you think, officer?

Great.

Awesome.

Isn't that great?

Mm-hmm.

Nicky, tell us a little bit about how long you have to cook it to make it like that.

I would say roughly around 15 minutes.

Okay.

If you like it crispier, you know, you're going to want to leave it on there.

Some people like their pizzas a little more doughy, so low and slow is the way to go with that.

Okay.

We do have multiple crusts, so we have original crust, thin crust, and we have a gluten-free option that we did bring today for everyone to try.

We're

eating gluten-free.

Can you believe that?

That's what we're eating.

Yeah, yes.

It's good for you.

See, John,

you can't do this.

And it's very

healthy.

What is he

John Maino

always looking at me when he talks about stuff like

that?

I

John Maino

was looking at your gut.

Oh

my

John Maino

God!

This is great.

Wow.

So tell me a little bit how you came up with this.

Give us a background on Papa Murphy's.

It's been such a staple in the community.

Yeah.

The brand is about 30 years old, but it started out West and there's been some stores that are 20, 25 years old around here.

Wow.

But yeah, we've been around in the community.

do a lot of fundraising in the community.

John Maino

I know you do.

And definitely try to just get to know our people, get to know our guests.

And

John Maino

it's not an easy gig because everybody has their own type of pizza they can do.

And you guys have found a way to make a niche that is just truly successful.

Yeah, definitely try to make it easy.

Don't have to go out and have an expensive meal or chase the kids around and keep them corralled at home.

Wow.

However, people say that once a while.

There's a lot of pizza places.

But pizza is the number one food that people want.

Hands down over sub sandwiches cheeseburgers hamburgers.

It's pizza.

Yeah, I mean there's a market there, too You just like Johnny just said you kind of carved out a really cool niche that you make it as fresh as can be and yeah take it home and boom Yeah, but if you

John Maino

don't have good crust we've talked about

this.

You don't have

John Maino

good pizza Yeah, you put any topping in the world on top.

It doesn't matter.

Yeah cheese cheese cheese But even when we before we put it in the the oven room temperature is what we or is that just for the grill

just because ours is fresh dough

That's why she's talking to proof the crust up to room temperature.

So that'll help

it crisp up when you put it in the oven.

Okay,

and then what's the other thing at the cinnamon roll thing you got coming on?

Yep.

So we actually have that on the grill right now That is a dessert option that we offer I like to switch it up a little bit for breakfast.

I like to have it with my coffee It's kind of a sweet and savory, but I also know the kids love it late at night.

I mean, it's a great simple treat

John Maino

So it's not done yet.

That's on the grill right now, right?

Tell

John Maino

Officer Craig to leave it alone then.

Absolutely.

Tell him to wait.

Just a few more minutes

John Maino

please.

He's getting a call.

He's got to run to something so

beat it up.

He's like how they

John Maino

can wait.

I'll be there soon.

I'll be there when I get there.

Thanks for coming by buddy.

Thanks for all you do.

Thank you.

That's awesome.

So tell me a little bit more about if somebody buys this is great and I still think camping wise this would be great when you got the

You got the little fire going out there in the campground or whatever.

Tell me how somebody can do this.

You need one of the tripod type things, right?

Correct.

OK.

And then that's going to have a grate over your fire.

John Maino

Right.

And you're going to want to let your flames get down real low because you're going to want to use those hot coals just like if you're cooking anything else.

John Maino

That's what I was going to ask.

More over the coals than the flames.

Correct.

John Maino

OK.

You can order ahead.

You can call.

You can come in store or you can do the online options.

We have a lot of deals available and discounts available.

A lot of people like to get them on Friday and then they're going to wrap them up and take them up north for the weekend.

John Maino

Do

they come frozen when they buy

John Maino

them from you guys?

Absolutely not.

So they're never frozen?

No.

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's

John Maino

the

Kathryn Lake

difference, isn't

John Maino

it?

That's

Kathryn Lake

the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference,

isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

John Maino

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference, isn't it?

That's the difference,

That's one of the things that separates yours.

And

John Maino

dough is always fresh.

There's really no difference between a frozen pizza and your pizza.

I mean, it's just your pizza is so much better because the frozen has, I like it.

Oh man, we're back

John Maino

up.

You just said there's no dirt in the frozen pizza and their people.

I

think you

John Maino

got that wrong.

You had a big difference.

Totally wrong.

Huge difference.

Huge difference.

Big difference.

Big difference.

90.

Big difference.

It's what you're trying to say.

Are your taste buds

working this morning?

They are.

John Maino

That was

good.

Sleepy.

I am.

The big difference is what I'm saying.

John Maino

But here's the deal, though, too.

When you cook something like this, do you?

OK.

And I'm a crust guy.

You know, you gotta have the, and I like the thinner crust more than the thicker crust.

Okay.

Do you scorch it a little bit?

Do you check the crust to know when it's really done with something like this, when you're cooking it over a grill like this or over a campfire?

And the thin crust will definitely cook a lot faster.

Right.

Yep.

But always keeping on rotating it too on the grill.

Obviously you can get some of those hot spots.

Right.

Keeping rotating the crust and checking the crust off.

And I mean, peel it up a little bit.

Obviously we have the white tray that keeps it very easy to cook to give a little barrier, but.

Tell a little bit more about that stone you were talking about.

Yeah, so you can see Nikki has a stone.

So it just helps move the heat around so you don't get those hot spots.

But having a pizza stone, they're very cheap at a store.

Oh, I've never seen one of those

John Maino

before.

Yeah, so

then you can put the pizza right on.

And we have the white tray that we use.

So you can see that gets a little brown on

John Maino

the bottom.

So you don't put the pizza actually on the actual

grates?

We do.

Not on the grates.

John Maino

That's really OK.

Got it.

OK.

But

definitely helps with grilling, for sure, to keep the crust from getting.

You know,

and those stones aren't that expensive.

I mean, yeah, I'd

never heard

of that

before.

Yeah.

And on the campfire, too, put the grill, put the stone on the great same thing.

Wow.

Yeah.

Jim, I'm shocked that you don't know that this isn't, you know, one of your in your real house.

Yeah.

And I use the grill like I'm I'll use it in the winter, too.

Yeah.

It's right on the deck.

Yeah.

But you make your own pizzas.

I do.

Great.

I do because I like him.

Oh, he's big time in this.

Yeah.

I do like pizza.

This is really, really, I'm telling you, I've never had.

Is it called smoked pizza or just pizza on the grill?

No, pizza on the grill.

Just pizza on the grill.

Yeah, pizza on the grill.

All right, it's great.

Love it.

And what did you just make?

What is on there?

That's going to be our cinnamon wheel.

It's going to be our dessert option.

It has a delicious cinnamon granola-y, crispy.

Cream cheesy deliciousness.

It doesn't sound good at

John Maino

all.

When is it going to be ready?

I just heard Officer Craig put on his brakes.

He's coming back with a siren on.

Like she said with coffee,

that would be

great.

Absolutely.

Wow.

How many

varieties of pizza does Poppin Murphy's have?

And I know I kind of said a jazillion, but I mean, do you get custom, right?

Yeah, so you can get create your own on Tuesdays.

That's going to be our special.

You can create your own up to five toppings, or we have our signature pizzas or any of our gourmet delight pizzas available.

And you can come in and meet with somebody like my wonderful self.

And I would love to take your order and make your pizza for you.

What's your

John Maino

background on this, Nick?

How'd you get so good at this?

I honestly give credit to the boss.

Yeah, right here.

Come

on.

Honestly, I'd have to give credit to my kids.

My kids actually worked for Papa Murphy's before me.

They started when they were 14.

And I used to stop and visit them just to get pizza and to get that employee discount that they had.

And it was great.

But she's very honest.

I met the boss and the owners and we kind of hit it off right away personality and work wise.

And I just kind of dug right in.

I learned about pizza dough and I learned about, you know, yeast and all the

baking kind of metrics, and I just ran with it since then.

Danny, how is it the employee basic?

If I'm a good employee, that's

always the challenge, right?

We're very lucky to have awesome people that work with us.

That's the key.

We've had managers that have worked with us for 15, 16

Kathryn Lake

years.

We have new

people that have new high school kids.

They

graduate eventually, but yeah, we have a good mix of veterans and new kids that...

That's

awesome.

It's their

first job of their junior senior in high school and

get to make some money.

I don't want to gloss over it.

You do a lot of charity work for the community.

I mean, your name's on a lot of things.

You're helping high schools, booster clubs, all that kind of stuff.

And with that, we're

John Maino

going to sit our quick break.

We're going to be moving inside.

We're going to be back with more with Papa Murphy's.

Folks, we can't say enough good things about how delicious this is.

Back, mine on the mayor, right after this.

I chose this song because you guys made the dessert, the cinnamon dessert.

That's what I thought.

I was,

you know, if you had given me a multiple, I would have guessed that.

Would you have?

I would have, because I said that.

It really smells good.

That is cinnamon.

You can smell it outside.

Get real close to those mics, guys.

Okay.

Yeah, pull on up.

Papa Murphy's this morning, man.

Um, Danny.

So you guys could be, what, a

John Maino

weekly presence

on this show?

Yeah.

How

John Maino

hungry are you guys every

afternoon?

Oh my gosh.

I was just I was like running around and every time I ran past out there.

I grabbed another piece

John Maino

it reminded me of 4th of July pulling into my my aunts Camp is they call it up in the UP and they'd have you know the fire going out there

try pod and the

John Maino

and stuff and that was because that I still think smells conjure up memories better than anything and the smell of you guys

Roasting that pizza out there brought me back to those memories.

Just that smell is awesome with that crust.

Isn't it though?

Yep.

There's just nothing.

Nothing

quite like

John Maino

it.

Brought some of the grill and hamburgers and celery.

I mean, that's a whole another smell.

But yeah, pizza on the grill is just fantastic.

Danny,

tell us what locations you're involved with.

Yeah.

So Danny

Bain, by the way.

Yep.

The Howard location to in Green Bay on Main Street Mason Street and then both the locations into peer and then locations in the five in Appleton Tell me where you are into peer into peer at East to peer in West to peer.

Yep

John Maino

And I'll tell you what with you guys though to people When they when they buy your pizza they take it home and they cook it anywhere they want Okay, and we've all been to pizza places where it's like that crust wasn't done well enough or that crust was too well done and you know what?

That's

the best part about

John Maino

doing it.

Absolutely.

Do it exactly how you want to do it.

Yeah.

I would, uh, just recommend to people like 15 to 18 minutes on the tray.

If you want a little crispier, it'll easily slide off there for another two minutes.

And that's how you can kind of dial in your crispiness.

John Maino

I'm, I'm, I always kind of look at the bottom when I get a pizza.

Cause I want to see a little bit of that scorchedness.

Color is flavor.

That's the tasty part.

John Maino

And that's the thing is okay.

So Jim was talking, he wants to try that, but you want to do what?

with your hardwood?

Oh, I have a gas grill, so I'm going to put in wood chips.

I've never heard of that.

So that's the way we do smoked chicken, right?

Because I don't have a smoker, although I should get one because you're not.

But anyway, I don't have a smoker.

My brother does.

Oh, you got to get one.

But if you put wood chips with some water in there, that will create that same smell that you're getting off the charcoal.

So that's dirty.

So when you

John Maino

do that, when you get that going, do you keep the lid on to keep all the smoke

in?

I do, because if you're...

John Maino

Because that's what you're doing, right, Nick?

Yes.

That's what also

helps to melt the cheese.

Right.

If you're looking, it ain't cooking.

Oh, my gosh.

What?

Todd.

John Maino

Todd.

What?

I'd like a little cinnamon roll.

You

want me to bring you

John Maino

something?

That

John Maino

would

be

John Maino

kind

of nice.

I mean

John Maino

a piece of cinnamon roll?

Todd, I'm doing it for our clients.

I'm doing it for them.

Again, I do everything for

John Maino

the

people.

But Daddy, just tell us about online, our website, just so we can order.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

So we have an app.

Or you can go to our website, patmurphy.com, place your order.

You can give the stores any store a telephone call and go ahead and place your order.

Or you can come right in and place your order with one of our wonderful staff

members.

We also run multiple specials on Tuesday.

We have our large pizzas are 10.99 and our families are 13.99.

Yeah,

that's amazing.

And you can create your own.

And it's really fun to see the different recipes and combinations that the guests come up with.

And then like Father's Day, for example, we do do a special promotion.

Dads love pizzas along with grandpa's.

So we will have a special promo going for that.

This is horrible.

Absolutely.

It's breakfast.

It's delicious.

Oh my God.

Tell us again what this is.

So this is going to be our cinnamon meal.

This is going to be our dessert option.

It's got a cinnamon butter spread and then it has a granola brown sugar crisp that goes on the top.

I went ahead and braided the crust for you guys this morning to give you a little bit more of that flavor from the grill.

There are multiple options available online that people create their own items with our pizzas.

They take them home and come up with their own.

This crust

is perfect.

You see what I mean about that scorch underneath?

Wonderful.

That's perfect.

Excellent.

When we buy that, that comes with the butter.

Yep, that comes with the butter.

Okay, cool.

And then we also have... Just for

the butter.

Just so you know, don't come, just get the butter.

Extra cups, only 50 cents.

All right, all right, thank you guys.

We have lots of side... The owner.

I'm

gonna use this butter on my face.

Yeah, okay.

This is so good.

Yeah.

That smells great.

Yeah, good.

You gotta try it.

Here, seriously, try it.

Do you have... Okay, this is cinnamon.

Yes.

Do you have other varieties or cinnamon?

Cinnamon is primarily our staple right now.

Yeah.

Sometimes we'll get lucky and we'll run up special limited time only option.

But right now we're focusing on our limited time only as a pizza option.

We have our summer selects available right now.

And it's a great deal.

They're only $8.99.

And there's a couple options that you can choose from.

and it's just great for the summer options.

Not only for adults, but kids.

Kids in high school, you got any young boys.

I mean, their friends are coming over, grab up a pizza.

Everybody loves pizza,

right?

And

when kids come over, it's pizza, pizza, pizza.

But I

John Maino

can't, okay, you get up, you're camping someplace, you get out of the tent or whatever.

Mama or whomever has this cooking on the grill.

Mama, mama.

You walk out, how great would this be to have

it at camp tonight?

And

John Maino

pause with the banjos.

What?

What did I say wrong?

Mama.

And mom was there, she's cooking and I said, pause with the banjo.

So anyway, I just thought.

Ignore him.

Yes,

John Maino

please.

This is delicious.

This is absolutely fantastic.

I'm not just saying that.

It's good stuff.

Thanks for coming in and treating us and just having some fun with us this morning.

They were here last night too.

So they did double duty for us.

Oh, you did

Pete?

Yeah.

We slept in the studio.

Did you?

All right.

Pulling the night shift.

They may or may not have had a couple of spotted hanging out someplace.

I'm

just

saying.

All right.

John Maino

Jim was brinking up Sunday before we left outside about what you guys do for the community.

Talk

a

John Maino

little bit about that.

That's a priority

for you guys.

People know, but those who don't know need to know.

Yeah, we do some fundraising nights at individual stores.

We have an email you can email into if you're a group, a church, a school, you know, sports team that wants to raise money.

So that's P M Wisconsin at gmail.com.

If you ever want to send an email there, we'll return it and get back to you.

And then, um, we also do some pizza sales where we've raised to 3000 bucks for, for some causes that, uh, that people give it, we give them the sell sheet.

They can go sell and they make.

certain dollars for pizza.

And yeah, we've raised a lot of money.

John Maino

You guys are right.

What a great asset

to

John Maino

the

entire community.

Check all the boxes.

That's awesome.

You guys are the

John Maino

absolute best.

Nikki and Danny Bame, Green Bay Papa Murphy.

You got to check it out, folks.

It's truly, it's truly fantastic.

Thank you both so very, very

much.

Thank you guys.

Thanks for having

John Maino

us.

At 6.35 tonight, what a fun show we have had today.

Wow.

Oh, man, Papa Murphy, thank you so very much for your amazing stuff you brought in.

And now we are so proud to present our brand new sponsor of our favorite segment of the entire week, the live music series brought to you by Big Daddy D. Production.

Hey, there's the thing.

Love these guys.

No, it's just Daddy D. Production.

John Maino

Not anymore.

So on this show,

it's

Big Daddy

D.

You never know what you're going to get out there.

John Maino

Shelly likes it.

Dennis Pettiers of the Glam Band.

How you doing, brother?

I've been.

Ask around.

John Maino

I'll tell you what.

I heard you guys at the Sardine can the other day from upstairs our studio here.

You guys were rocking that joint.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

Joints need rock, too.

You've been busy, haven't you?

Yeah, we've been busy.

It's just getting crazy.

12 shows this month, and yeah, just trying to keep everybody moving.

Absolutely.

Well, this is so great.

John Maino

So Daddy D Productions, you guys are finishing up.

Shall we talk to us here?

We've talked here.

I know.

How mad were you at me last week when I pointed out something about your husband?

I laughed really hard.

I can't

believe I was up

John Maino

early enough to even see it.

He gets that a lot.

Don't worry about it.

I was really proud.

Really proud.

Now, if people didn't...

Weren't tuned in, I'm the dum-dum that had my shirt on inside out.

Because I dressed in the dark.

Barely noticed it.

They

wouldn't have noticed it if you didn't say anything,

John.

John was the compassionate host who pointed it out.

Just for the

John Maino

rest of the show.

Dennis was over there and he was going...

Look at his shirt.

Look at his shirt.

I'm like, what?

Dennis, what?

He's like, it's inside out.

Well, I think he blamed it on me.

Dennis blamed it on you, too.

I know,

because he

John Maino

didn't

want to wake me up.

Yeah, I think you know how it is for me.

Everything

gets

blamed

on

Todd.

Now you're in that

category.

I'm pretty sure I was in bed listening that day.

I think so.

Dennis, I never let

John Maino

facts stand in the way of a good story.

Just so you know.

Facts ran out kind of like in the 90s.

They had there.

They had the facts.

Yeah.

Yeah.

All right.

All right.

John Maino

Daddy D with American.

You guys.

OK.

Talk about the difference between or is it what you're doing at the Riverside and your last show is what tonight tonight?

Yeah,

we're doing the old time rock and roll show.

That's with our Daddy D Productions Group.

That's the big group.

We've got a full band.

We've got four vocalists, all kinds of production.

Kevin that Kevin Van As is with

Alicia, Michelle plays

the violin, all kinds of

Amazing

folks.

I'm sure a lot of people have seen you, but you really bring the energy to that room.

I mean, that's, yeah, you're pointing to him.

You're a big part of it too.

I'm there too,

yes.

But yeah, we talk, Daddy, about Green Bay has got some great companies and what they give back, but you're one of those.

I mean, we wouldn't call you a company, but you're, you just do a lot for Green Bay.

Iconic.

Iconic.

Well, F, 19 years.

Yeah, it has,

right?

19 years we've been doing this.

I can't believe it since we were how old, babe.

Seven.

Seven.

Yeah.

Seven.

You guys went to school

together, right?

Yeah, we did.

Seat Norbert College, baby.

There you go.

You just want to say it was seven?

Yes.

Tonight is

John Maino

military night for the Green Bay

blister.

Oh, I saw that.

John Maino

Both you

and you, both veterans, thank you for that.

Hey, man.

Hey, well, by the way, we're going to be there.

My lovely spouse and I will be at the game tonight.

Awesome.

Awesome.

That's a good time.

Army

guy.

Hua.

Hua, yeah.

So we enjoy every one of our shows, no matter where we are or where we go, we like to introduce the veterans.

And I will tell you, it's because it's a tradition, it gets lost on me.

And when it starts to, somebody comes up and says, what a big deal it is to them.

John Maino

And

then it brings it back, like, oh, this is really a good idea to do.

The audience loves it.

John Maino

You both raised your right hand.

Said you're ready willing and able to put your life in the line for our country No matter what happens after that it's out of your control But you had the courage to raise that right hand and that means everything

I was going to say, let me count the ways it's out of our control.

No, indeed.

Despite the

John Maino

promises of a recruiter.

Well, you know, it's funny.

I went down to the MEP Center, and I was going to be a newscaster.

Me too.

And the guy switched me.

He goes, wouldn't your parents rather have an engineer?

And he signed me up to be a demolitions engineer.

What a weasel.

John Maino

Oh, I think fighting land mines is a pretty good

thing.

John Maino

Dennis introduced these people.

They were going to send me overseas to be a.

behind the lines radar guy setting up radar communications behind enemy lines.

That's what they're gonna do to me.

Yeah.

Well, you're smart enough.

You'll figure it out.

Okay.

Wow.

Right?

Yeah.

And when you got our smaller group, American Honey, there's four of us.

Shelly, myself, Tony Pezzavento and Alicia Michelle, sometimes we go as three, but a lot of times as four as well.

Because the summers, a lot of people aren't going to pay for a ticket to sit inside.

We kind of go around the places with the four of us and play a lot of, you know, more intimate venues and all that kind of stuff.

That's

what

the love is.

So what are you going to play for us

today?

We're

going to do

a little Johnny Cash this morning.

I would love that.

Why wouldn't we, huh?

Do

John Maino

you want me

to chime in or no?

Shelly,

you can take your part.

You're singing

in your head.

And I hear the whistle blowing Hold down a ceiling drawing When I was just a baby Mama told me

sign

Always be a good boy Don't you ever play with guns But I shot a man in Shino Just to watch him die Shot him twice And I hear the whistle blowing I hit my head and cried

Yeah?

Hey!

Now, you want to send out a verse to all the folks in the

great state of Wisconsin?

If the city that you're from isn't in this song,

It doesn't mean we don't love you.

It just means it doesn't rhyme with anything.

We're starting Appleton.

You know what?

Two.

What?

Two?

That was awesome!

That is good.

That

is...

How

long did it take you to get all the

ones down?

I would love to tell you it took a long time, but some of the stuff comes, that was a quick one,

for whatever reason.

Well,

I grew up in Howard, so I kind of knew all of those

places there.

There you go.

That's fantastic.

I was waiting to see how you'd find a way to fit a conema walk in there.

A

conema walk, yeah.

I do want to say that that's emblematic of your shows.

They are

local.

I think part of the reason that you guys were born and raised here, but secondly, you just

Love this community, you can tell when you're up there.

Well, thank you so much.

We try and implement local things, but not too local, because you never

know who's out there.

Right, who's government, right?

In fact, we did a show for the American Legion, and this is about to...

two years ago, and it was a local show, and then there was somebody in the audience, and they're like, hey, do you guys travel?

And I'm like, yeah, we'll travel.

They're like, well, we have the Midwest Convention, and we'd like to bring your group to the Midwest Convention.

Might be in Minnesota, it might be in Iowa, it might be in Illinois,

Kathryn Lake

and she might

be in Wisconsin.

And I said, okay, we had the day open, they're like, good, I'll call you in a week.

They call back, they're like, hey, good news, they planned it, it's in Wisconsin.

at Oneida Bingo and Casino.

And I'm like, okay, that's fine, which was great.

And we had about five, 600 people at this thing.

We do the show and I get off the stage and the person stops me and they're like, hey, do you guys travel?

And I'm like, yeah, where are we going?

Like Croco or whatever, you know?

And they said, no, a little further than that, you give me your phone number.

I'm gonna text you.

There's a committee.

You tell them what.

They tell you, I'll tell you what they tell me, we'll make this happen.

Here, it was the national president of the American Legion.

They flew us out to Charlotte, North Carolina, the whole group, and we performed for all of them there in Charlotte.

So we had the entertainment for the national convention.

John Maino

You're not by chance doing the Wisconsin convention this year, are you?

We are.

We're doing the Midwest convention this year,

yeah.

John Maino

You know

the featured speakers?

Who's that?

The mayor?

Tell him, Shelley.

It's my nose.

Oh, that's fantastic.

Yeah.

Well, we'll save us a seat.

Absolutely.

That'll be fun.

And listen, I'm not I don't want you to think that I'm saying that to brag.

I'm not.

We're not saying that to break what I'm I'm this very proud that we can do.

Absolutely.

That's what I would have said.

A

thing that can travel nationwide and people dig it, man.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

What a song about it.

John Maino

Yeah.

Right.

Dennis, there's something special.

OK, so.

obviously you have the glamban and then you have your acoustic group almost exactly along the same lines with them sometimes it's nice to break away and do something a little bit more what's the best way of putting not personal but

more from you

John Maino

know what

I mean it's a different different approach all together different different brain cells are being used

what do you guys enjoy more well you know at this point

Gotta catch me on ask me on what night yeah, but it's one of those things like you know I'm getting a little bit older my wife never ages But sometimes when you do we do the smaller group show you'll have people who have no idea who you are They didn't pay to buy a ticket there They're not just coming to see you and if they still turn around at the bar stools and clap

then you should still be doing it.

And if they don't, then maybe, maybe it's time to think about, you know.

Don't think

about it too hard,

man.

Maybe the conversation's pretty heavy.

Maybe that advice goes for radio hosts, too.

I'm just saying.

How dare you, sir.

John Maino

What are you talking about, Schwabba, that way?

Who writes your shows?

Too much time you spend doing that.

They're different.

That's this guy.

You do,

huh?

Yeah.

Well, that's a good... He actually... You know, sometimes it'll be new material at rehearsal that we have no idea it's coming.

He wrote a parody on a song from Get Back, and it is about his... Is it Uncle

or Grandpa?

My grandpa, JoJo.

Grandpa JoJo.

Yeah.

Oh, nice.

Who

clucks like a chicken.

Yeah.

And

you guys would not...

Believe how funny it

is.

It was really dumb.

We also like I like to do a parody like if Elmer Fudd was Really cast as Danny Zuko in Greece, you know wabbit season

had me a blast You

know

John Maino

Okay, when you guys like Dennis when you do your little acoustic ensemble and you guys is this more of the real you versus the characters you play in the bigger events Is this more of the real you coming out?

Yeah, I think so.

And it's

the music that we picked that we can do of

all genres.

Exactly.

Yeah, I think especially I think when in this an element you're actually digging deeper into yourself.

You're actually finding more of more of really who you are on the fly.

That's what I mean.

You know, and it's it's it's a real present.

It's you know, our drill sergeants would always say situation awareness will keep you alive on the battlefield.

And I'm also want to say and on the stage.

Yeah, you know,

because there's something to it.

It's an incredible alertness.

as you're doing this, you're trying to entertain, and something comes up on the fly, and you figure out something different, something new, comes out of your mouth you never thought of, never would have thought of, comes out, maybe sometimes people laugh, maybe they won't.

But you'll have that.

Oh, they do, they do.

I was

just looking at my phone, but I...

Pictures when you were that Elmer Fudd thing with the I have pictures of that and that was hilarious

John Maino

One thing that blew me away what you did one night Shelly I was backstage with you guys at the Meyer years ago, and you did a Lucille ball

thing.

John Maino

Oh my god.

That was incredible Oh, that was

unbelievable.

John Maino

We can't get rid of that.

Yeah, don't Don't it's

John Maino

unbelievable.

We get started quick break back with more big daddy deep productions our live music series remind on the mayor and American honey
