I thought we were into the

low 80s.

But what?

I will say this once again.

We, we're not.

Oh, we're in that bubble.

We've been a bubble.

I love it.

This year, but that part of the state just seems to be getting pummeled.

Right.

We gotta do the, we gotta start marketing the Wisconsin bubble.

I know.

That's what it is, the Lake Michigan bubble.

Right.

I think there's something to it.

I mean, gotta put up like, you know, I will say this.

Go daddy and

That's right, and it's just like wow.

Yeah

Trucker Thursday to you.

Thank you.

Vicky Vicky's all hours.

He's all

the truckers.

Yeah, the Wisconsin bubble dot-com is still available Todd you jump on this

looking at it those dot-coms and that's good what it's gonna be if you buy it they could be like like $7 for this year and then like 20 bucks for the next two years it that's so inexpensive to buy that stuff like You're like that Pope de Green Bay.

I mean how long have I owned that and the just that's still there.

Yeah, and then cuz he's coming

I really he's I talked to a really pretty good friend of mine The pope is gonna come to Green Bay.

No, okay, just so we try to get the pope here

In

your lifetime, let me rephrase that Todd in

your

lifetime I was out he's pope for life.

He's got connections with the Norbertine order

Okay, he does right with brownie.

I guess I don't know.

He really does.

Okay.

Obviously a Chicago guy the shrine we are the only Shrine certified shrine in in the state of in the United States

right

here in champion.

Okay We tried to get the The last pope to come here did a pretty big campaign didn't happen But this guy because of his connections if he's going to see his brother, you know, it's like come on

It's

I agree.

I

mean, it's not like just come here.

But and then, you know, I mean, the the the the Packers are if you not that they're a religion, some people they are.

But if they were religion, what would you label them as?

If the Packer, would you say they were Catholic, like in terms of Lombardi?

And so you have mass.

I got it.

OK.

But no, I'm

not

the

whole

thing.

OK.

Got it.

Got it.

So you have

mass at.

Lambo field.

Okay, you know take him out there have some event.

I think a day here.

I Yeah, that would put that draft thing.

We just did that would be

big It would be very very big talk about getting some revenue outside and the best part he's got the t-shirt commission

I You know and it's not gonna happen this year, but I did talk to someone I want to tell you who he is, but he's pretty well connected goes

That will happen in your lifetime.

Wow.

So, and I, I don't know how much, I'm on the clock, I know that, but I would say, I don't know, four, five, six, seven

years.

So should we start already working on our game plan to make money on it?

No, no, yeah, we can start making money.

No, no, you guys remember?

I got you per village truck.

Right.

There you go.

All that stuff we've been talking about, it's all going to come

together.

I got it right here.

It's all pasties with the pope.

I love it.

I love

it.

This is going to work.

All right.

But that will bring people in and we can that's

Well, it's going to be, you know, a one and a half day event or something like that.

We're going to stretch that thing out.

I mean, we're going to sell the city.

We've never sold it before.

Anybody have any suggestions for us?

Please let us know as

well.

It's going to be great.

We're

going to line the streets when he comes down and 57.

So you, okay.

So you,

but I got, I would, we're not doing this until we get the green light from the Bishop because man, I got Chris Ryan and I got hauled in his office big time.

So, and I.

I just thought it

was

bad.

I

have

to be a fly in the hole.

I know, right?

I know.

I agree.

Wow.

Chris Rand goes in and has genuine flags.

Is your excellence?

Yeah, I know.

That was not my favorite meeting in 16 years.

So,

okay, what other one, because I'll tell you what, I used to think that was a joke when people would do that, but John Calipari, I think it is the basketball coach, got the trademark for three Pete.

You know, when you win three.

Oh,

yeah.

And

he got I think he's made he's given it all to charity or he says he has

of course.

I would too.

Yeah me too But where does that begin at home?

Um, but yeah, that's legit sometimes with those phrases and that

Yeah, just read that text that came in the Saints.

Okay.

All right read Nancy's text

Better get the request in to close off the street now.

You're right Nancy.

That's gonna be although

that's get County I gotta get that

gonna

get Troy on my side on this one He'll he he'll be on board

the other one was look Schmidt the most Catholic team in the NFL is the Saints.

I mean the Saints

But true to

I just I don't know that could be remember we had Billy Graham here his kid Yep at Lake Park.

No, that was awesome.

Okay

I mean, that was... Okay, can I just say something?

I'll bring some pictures.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no,

He talked our language.

He was in over our head.

That's what I liked about him.

I consulted how many presidents.

I know, but when you're a little kid, you want to watch Gunsmoke.

Oh,

well, Gunsmoke, Batman.

But you're right.

But when he had that rally come here, and they know what they're doing, but it was at Light Park.

And I'm going to show you a picture of that.

because get it to break.

It was,

it was good.

But I think if we do this, cause they had, you remember the Pope came to Philly, big, big deal there.

So of course he'd been to St.

Louis and a couple other played Denver and they filled up the stadiums.

So

we'll do that here.

So that'd be a, that's going to be fun.

I mean, we're going to head the committee, but

first,

but no, but first I'm not, I'm not getting in, I'm not getting in front of this one again.

I got in trouble last time.

So I'm going to do this, this protocol.

What's his name?

Yeah, it's his name.

Well, no, the pope's name.

Um, it's front.

It's first name Leo.

Leo.

Okay.

Um, but no, no, no, no, the annuncio is not a name.

It's a title.

So in

my, I think I got uncle denuncio.

Okay.

I can show you that family tree thing.

His name is annuncio.

Denuncio.

Okay.

I didn't say that.

It starts in E. Anyway, let me finish this.

So the, the protocol is, and this is why I got,

no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

It's my uncle, my uncle Nacho.

Ignacio.

Ignacio.

Ignacio.

Really?

Yes.

Well, the annuncio is a title, okay?

But Ignacio means something too, in religion-wise.

Okay, let me finish.

So the protocol, right?

There's a bishop, cardinal, you know, there's a... I mean, obviously, the Catholic Church is kind of top-down, right?

A little bit.

Just a

little bit.

I mean, it's not like we vote on who our priest is going to be, right?

I mean, the congregation, you get a sign.

Everything's a sign from top

down.

Anyway, so this is my understanding.

And I look, there's a jazillion people out there, smarter than I am about this, but it's my understanding.

So the bishop's appointed by the pope, right?

He called the bishop.

He was in Wyoming.

He goes, hey, you're going to Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Oh, okay, great.

Yeah, thank you.

So you start with him and I like to do this he contacts the annuncio who is a Title it's a guy in DC who kind of takes care of the oh somebody's helping

me with what me Ignacio

oh

Spanish name means fiery or ardent.

It's my understanding that this guy takes care of the United States Popes like he'd be his chief of staff for the United States the annuncio So it's got to go to him and then he's the one who goes into contacts the Pope not Jim Schmitt

Let me tell you something.

The Pope will give you five minutes.

I would take it.

There's a newspaper on

this desk.

Under the business

sanctions.

When you leave, he's going to pick up the newspaper to read it.

If there's an envelope underneath, you get your wish.

If not.

Yeah.

I think in Green Bay, we could get a pretty big envelope.

I just think people, I just, just the notoriety, you still go to those places and.

You walk into some of these cathedrals and there's a huge plaque that Pope John Paul was here in whatever, you know, it's, it's bigger than the president.

I think.

Well, I mean,

people.

Well, more, I mean, it's worldwide.

Right.

Yeah.

So I mean, the coverage would get.

I agree.

I'm telling you, I

know.

I think we've been sitting here at this,

you know, can we make a buck this time?

Yes.

This, this is going to be easy pick inside.

All right.

But

again,

pasties for the pope.

Pasties with the Pope.

Yeah, no with the Pope.

Yeah, we could we could play like the paddles Everybody buy a paddle will spin the wheel and whoever gets it actually gets to have lunch with

them But I you know and I'll

just Steve here and he pierces I remember Billy Graham coming to Green Bay.

I think he's wrestled the crusher

We're star Billy

Graham.

Anyway, no, that was so I do, you know, we're getting a little bit older and we don't need big jobs, big money anymore.

We need projects to do things.

So thank

God we

don't.

But this could be fun.

I agree.

I'm with you.

And I would the connections that the few that I've made in my life, I would leverage those big time, you know, Packers government.

I would.

I would come out of retirement to be his altar boy.

You know what?

Wouldn't that be fun to work that mass?

I'll come out.

Vince from Barty was an altar boy.

Big time.

He was

like, died.

Yeah.

Yeah.

This is so weird because I'm sitting here going, what are they talking about?

No

way.

Oh man, to just, and just think of the

priests

that are just going to, you know, yes.

I don't wanna tell him a joke and that'd be it.

I don't know.

Did you hear what I'm all about?

Where the bears

suck?

Leo, Leo.

Be honest with me.

Be honest with me.

Yeah, but I

don't know.

All

right, I'm all with you on this one.

Even if it

would be like a...

Cos this is, you know what?

This could work.

Cos this is something you're passionate about.

Oh, yeah.

You know, like we always say when somebody comes in here and they're an artist or whatever, it's like, where's the passion?

Oh,

yeah.

I'd be all in on this.

I would, I would, yeah.

do a lot for this.

Yeah.

And it would be, just think of, you know, this, people would remember this

and this

is a Super Bowl bigger than that.

We're going to start putting together a committee of our people.

No, no, no.

First things first.

We have to get to

a Pope.

Sharturi, charcuterie, charcuterie board with that.

I just think

they will have all those.

for your parties, you know, the pope party.

They'll have those cheese, you know, like sculptures of the

pope, you know.

Maybe Spencer can do a painting, but he can't use cleats.

What could Spencer use?

To paint it.

Oh,

yeah.

You know, the

thing that he blesses it with, he can use one of those.

Okay.

Yeah.

I'm in.

I'm in.

Spencer could make some

cats.

He could make it.

Spencer could do some great stuff.

Even when you go to Rome in the pubs, there's all these tables around.

Be honest too,

merch is big with the Pope.

Oh man, are you kidding me?

And then you want it blessed by the Pope.

So everybody thinks this is blessed by the Pope.

I have a rosary blessed by the Pope, but you know what?

I

had

one.

My brother got it for me.

But you go, okay, but okay, what he said was blessed by the Pope.

I believe it, but how did it get blessed?

All the Pope does is you go there and there's like.

What?

50,000 people?

You hold up your rosary?

Exactly.

Any pluses, then.

But it's blessed by the poll.

So anyway,

that's going to be fun.

Is this Marty Stewart?

Yes.

Terry requested Marty Stewart.

Whole lot of highway on Trucker Thursday.

Back at this.

You

cannot beat Trucker Thursday.

Happy Thursday everybody.

62 degrees in Green Bay, 61 in Ampton, 64 in Oshkosh, mostly cloudy scattered thunderstorms.

I have 70 today.

Just let's get through June, maybe July will be nicer.

Today is canoe day.

I haven't gone canoeing in a long time, have you?

Yeah, it's like, no one can lose.

Kayaks have taken over.

Kayaks have

taken over.

Do that next week.

Today is handshake day, all right?

You know what?

That kind of, you know, it's so funny.

The fist bump through COVID type, fist bump kind of took over.

I mean, you'd be surprised sometimes, even like, I mean, these, I don't know, how do I call them, not high society people, but more when you go to a banquet type things, you get some, they'll.

This bump is a lot more common.

Oh, I handshake.

Oh, yeah,

absolutely.

These guys over yesterday just did deliver a custom.

I don't

Here's what I got.

But you know, they came to the door and I just, yeah, it's knowing shakes hands anymore.

Yeah, I think that, you know, it's more sanitary and it's respectful.

I was hoping when COVID came around, we weren't going to get into that bowing.

I did not like that.

Remember they talked about,

I remember

when I was going to be our way of saying hello.

I'm like, there

was

a real bad flu thing, probably 10 years ago or something.

It was really infectious.

And I remember I went to a couple of things and people did like the elbow thing.

It's like,

no, that's too much.

Fist bumps are great.

Fist bumps are perfect.

And it's quick.

And it's not... Handshakes can be awkward if you don't get the hand in the right

socket.

Oh, I know.

You know what I mean?

I do.

And then sometimes hands... Sometimes you shake someone's hand and I probably got a little firmer handshake and some people look at you like... I know.

Are you like hurting?

It's like what?

I just...

Anyway.

Or sometimes they're doing it just to show how strong they are.

Right.

But fist bumps... It's hard

looking

at you.

But fist bumps are a little awkward with women.

I

know

no, you know, you know, I do a

fist month a woman.

They always get a kickers.

I

always blow it up.

Oh, you know fireworks.

That's so weird.

No, it's not

11 Right, right gonna be 11.

Wow my

granddaughter's taught me that

one.

Yeah,

I'm sure they did and how

old are they?

Whatever uh chocolate pudding day can't screw up chocolate pudding.

I don't know what

that is.

Yeah,

They're popsicles

popsicles.

Oh,

okay.

They popped.

They were they wanted to carve out their own day.

All right.

Coconut day.

I could live on coconut.

And you don't like no, I could live on it.

I mean,

I'll scrape it off.

I could live on coconut.

I say coconut oil is like the, you know, the beat all end all of health.

Look at me.

Different, right?

I mean,

your scar,

they

put that on your scars, your skin.

You know, I was gonna try to find some vitamin E or C for it.

I can't find it.

I went to Walgreens.

I went to CVS.

Where do you buy that?

Do you have to get that over?

Because I did get my new bee pollen tarot.

Is it tarot or talon?

Talon.

Talon.

No, tal-talo.

Talo.

That's what it

is, Talo.

Terror or Talo?

Talo.

Talo.

Talo.

Okay.

So I can measure people driving to work like Jesus.

Because I went through a full

container already.

No, what you need to do.

I

look so much younger when I see myself.

Yeah.

Those leaves that you break and those, that's what you should put on there.

Aloe?

Yeah.

I don't know where you find those either.

Yeah.

I think you just grow it at home.

I think

oh, yeah, yeah, yeah from the yeah in Arizona.

They used to have you just

snap off the sunburn Yeah, but not more than that.

It's like it's more than sunburn.

It's

yeah, you know, but that's what we'd use it for I mean people have those grown in their yards

and you

could break off a piece

and that's so natural I don't know why you want to get all that chemical stuff from the vitamin

E or C is chemical I don't know and be pollen certainly isn't

I

don't you see that story ABC News last night killer bees

are making such an unbelievable comeback and they're coming north.

They say it'll be really bad in like Kentucky, Ohio, place like that and they might just keep coming.

There's some kind of a weird atmospheric type of thing going on with the planet or something and they're just swarming.

You should see these

things.

This goes right into our previous conversation with Talotel with the planet or something.

It is.

Looks like you get a little bit more specific.

Okay, so what?

The bees are coming because of the planet.

Yeah.

Wow.

It's unbelievable.

I guess you should see these swarms.

That's how serious it was.

That something would happen if you left the Catholic school and went to the public school.

And

they believed it.

I mean, they weren't just whatever.

Yeah.

I'm glad that come around a little bit on that.

Well, I think so.

So it's entertainment for the entire family.

I don't know that there's a morning show out there anywhere that has as many laps as we

do in the first hour.

We got a great lineup.

Tell us about this lineup you got coming up today.

I tell you

this seven o'clock hour.

Go ahead dad.

No seven o'clock hour is going to be great.

We are so

It is going to get warm out, and we're concerned about fires dry, but also the fireworks.

And there's also things that we talked about that we need to talk about again, lithium batteries, a number of things that cause fires.

And obviously kitchen fires are the biggest thing.

So we've got Matthew Knott's coming in.

He's the fire chief of Green Bay.

He's probably been with us about three years, two years, three.

Anyway, he's coming in, talking about firework safety, which is really weird.

He's going to talk about how you can buy them.

but you can't shoot them

off.

I mean, our state laws are kind of a little- And depending on sometimes what count, like if you're in Bellevue versus Ledgeview versus whatever.

We, I am, well, yeah, in a different municipality because they're better, you know?
