Wow.
Good morning, everybody.
Says Vicki.
Hello, everybody.
Who else is out there on this beautiful Wednesday heading into the 4th of July?
This is just awesome.
This is a good time to do whatever.
Happy birthday, Margot Robbie.
No, that can't be.
Oh yeah, Margot Robbie.
I was thinking, who is the one in Batman that went little...
What's that?
Yeah, the reverse wave thing.
So you're always going against the current like I'm gonna get one of those for my Navy SEAL training.
Um, today is UFO day.
Todd, you a believer?
Uh, yeah, I am.
I'm, I will say this.
I still think, did you see this most recent thing?
It's like somewhere, and I don't even know how they judge this.
The people, some people are so smart.
There's this thing like, like 50 billion light years away from us.
They found this planet.
That's a huge lake.
No.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Jose Canseco, 61.
Jerry Hull, 69.
Brett the Hitman Hart, 68.
Brett the Hitman Hart came with us to Walter Reed Hospital.
Nice.
And we brought a bunch of Packard jerseys and David Marinist, of course, from the Washington Post was there and he was good friends with the hitman.
I think he was doing a book with him or something, whatever, whatever.
And I thought, OK, well, that's fine.
No, fine, too.
You know, but look at us.
We got Packard jerseys with AJ Hawks' wife and Aaron Cannon's wife.
When these guys, and I know I've told this story, when they saw Bret the Hitman heart walk in, they would start screaming like,
really?
They couldn't believe it.
Pro wrestling, whatever you want to say about it or, you know, with that look, the people that are fanatical about that sport are so, I don't know of sports fans that are more loyal to their people than pro wrestling fans.
That's the, I mean, to the point where nurses had to come in and tell the guys to calm down.
They were so excited about meeting him.
and he became huge with corporate radio and sales and how to make a billion dollars and everything like that and he started as like
Weekend disc jockey.
Wow at that station, but I'll never forget this He wanted to be one of those guys and he recently passed away or last few years But you like Duke right you mentioned the name Jason Jennings and it was Unbelievable how big it was and he started up there.
He started up there, but here's the story my brother when George Wallace came to town campaigning in what it's 74 72 73 that
Okay, it was like the next week Wallace got shot by that guy But one of my brothers other things he had to leave the governor to go take this guy this reporter who was climbing over the fence to get to You know one of the things and it was Jay Jennings my brother had to pull it out from the fence But anyway, just so when I hear whoopie radio That's what I think of and he became a huge thing you should look him up to Jason Jennings all right in radio So biggest names in the country
Yeah, right.
That's what I'm saying.
The news people try to do with the radio.
Exactly.
Do something over the top.
So did he by the way, Brian says, Jim, no, I wasn't defending you.
Make no mistake.
I wasn't defending you.
Yeah.
Also, Richard Petty, 88 today, old school, good guy.
One of those guys was never too big for the.
because he started out, one of my favorite Richard Petty stories is his dad was a big racer, okay?
And those were in those days where they used to have these unbelievable fights like in the pits.
And I think it was Kale Yarborough, who was one of my, I used to be a huge NASCAR fan back in the day, Kale Yarborough and Richard Petty's dad got in a fight, okay?
Richard Petty's mom,
Hit the guy across the head and knocked him out.
With her purse.
Okay?
True story.
It's a true story.
With her purse.
They said to her, Ms.
Penny, we gotta be honest with you.
We heard rumors you had a bottle of whiskey in your purse and that's what knocked him out.
And she said, young man, I am a Southern Baptist.
I have never touched a lick of liquor in my entire life.
That is so insulting.
And to me, I'm gonna sue you for that.
Then somebody else said,
Miss Penny, I also heard a report it may have been a handgun.
She said, I have no comment on that.
Now that's old school racing.
All right, we guys set a quick break.
We had a great lineup for you, man, including a guy that's going to do what I'm planning on doing 24 hour ultra marathon on Washington Island.
We got a lot of good stuff coming up.
Stay with us.
All
Shabooms.
I know.
Oh God, that's great And that's that's when I told I've told you a story I threw up green beer and I've never had a thing for green beer ever since yeah Yeah, my 18th birthday coach got me hammered true story and anybody else that's ever attended Masabi State Junior College They will know the coach I'm talking about pepper.
No, no does that's you know, don't never forget first day of high school one of my first days of high school and I'm coming over from the Catholic school where you had to wear dress pants every day and you know leather and I go to the public school for the first time there were a lot to wear jeans
And everybody, I'll never forget the standing in the lunch line and every other guy is wearing bell-bottom jeans and kind of whatever, whatever.
And I'm still wearing my dress shoes from the Catholic school.
And it's like, oh, did I feel a lot of sink here?
Yeah,
If you missed part of the show or want to share it with a friend to catch every episode of Mino and the Mayor on your schedule, listen now at CivicMedia.us or find us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
It's easy to take Mino and the Mayor wherever you go.
Now back to Mino and the Mayor.
Here's John Mino and
Yes, sir.
I've been on the water.
I had, uh, put five, six days off and I fished every single one of them.
Had a couple of charters this weekend.
Yep.
Nice.
And
what do you catch?
Perch and, uh, up in Sturgeon Bay.
Nice.
Yeah.
So it was Saturday.
I had a charter on Sunday.
Well, I actually had a double, but the afternoon one canceled because of the rain.
So I wake up Sunday morning, packing everything up.
I looked to the north and I'm like,
It looks a little dark.
Yeah.
And, uh, look at the radar and it's all red and lightning bolts on it.
And I'm like, Pete Petoniak yesterday said no rain until the afternoon.
And, uh, you know, we had to, we had to postpone that one for a couple of hours, but.
Well, this was well.
The thing with that is, is they came from Platteville.
They've seen me and they've seen my advertisement on Facebook.
Hey, we're visiting, we've never been to Door County.
So we want to go, we like perch.
So we want to go perch fishing.
I said, okay.
And I gave them, you know, the time and you know, I said, it's normally seven o'clock start.
Okay.
And then, so anyway, you just meet them at the boat launch and you took, you know, like I offer everything you got to bring, you know, if you want snacks or if you want something other than water,
I provide everything else and then we go fishing for five to six hours and
well rain is rain is well rain is yes you still go out and rain but lightning I postponed it you know it was a seven o'clock start we started at 830 okay
bad that you know it's kind of funny though because I've done I remember doing a walleye story with these people up in Sturgeon Bay right out of the yacht area shipping channel shipping channel and where the guy even said
Where are you guys from in Minnesota?
And they told them, it's like, you know, you got some of the best fishing.
What are you doing here?
Yeah, but you know what?
We saw this TV show about here.
So we wanted to try
something else.
See, that's a big thing.
So Larry, or not Larry Smith, Larry Smith does a lot of things, but I got a mind black now.
Oh, Gillespie, John Gillespie.
Yeah.
So John, so John Gillespie had a show on this past week in O'Connell for perch and fish after fish, after fish.
And, uh, this was set.
They had aired on Saturday and my buddy Paul at North Shore bait that he sold, um, over $1,200 in minnows Saturday and Sunday.
He ran out of minnows heat and his bait guy, the bait truck that comes around.
He wasn't on the route for Monday.
So he actually had to go and get minnows for because he ran out.
Right.
So, but what happened was just because of the thing being on the radio or in a TV,
Huge rush.
Yeah.
There was a, it was like, Hey, we got to get there.
And then he gets wiped out.
So yeah, it's social media and the right social media and the right.
you know, YouTube stuff catches like wildfire, you know, and then everybody wants to do it.
Cause I know guys by the quarries there for bass fishing, they'll say that's some of the best bass fishing in the country.
Perch now are back.
They're, they're just slim.
We have the charter guy here out of Kiwani.
He said they were just slamming.
And that's a
charter is $425 for a half a day, two people.
And then it's $75 a person after the two people.
So
Yep.
I provide.
Well, other than, you know,
said, snacks are snacks are if you want a soda, you know,
They
offer cleaning services?
But I charge for it because it's
time.
I
yesterday I went, so this was yesterday.
Yesterday I went on my own, a friend of mine, um, needed and wants some fish.
He's not in the best of shape.
So he wanted some fish.
So I kept some fish yesterday.
I caught 15.
I had to take the cat to the vet.
We went to TJ Highlands and Oshkosh because they have a tenderloin and lobster special.
It's phenomenal.
It's an hour drive, but I'll tell you what, if anybody likes high-end food.
Yeah, TJ Highlands.
Yep.
They're running a special this week, a surf and turf.
I don't have any skin in the game with them, but surf and turf for $59.
You get a lobster tail and you get your choice of a four or...
I'm sorry, six or eight ounce full A or a New York strip for $59.
That's great.
Yeah.
That's why I asked
did the tail go?
But anyway, so I went down there, came back and then I'm cleaning fish at eight o'clock at night and my, I had 15 perched on and a half an hour.
And my wife is like, what?
You're pretty, uh, you're getting very efficient.
I'm like, yeah, tell me about it.
people keep the fish?
Yeah.
Almost everybody keeps up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, I, I've, I just started chartering this year.
So I've only had three charters.
I'm
not.
I'm not using the charter fishing as my main source of income.
So it's just like, if I get clients, I get clients.
If I don't get clients, I don't, it's not going to hurt my feelings, none.
It's not like the guy that you guys had from Kiwani, where that's his living.
Right.
You know, so it just, if I get 10 clients the whole year, so be it.
You know, whatever.
Fun.
But it's something different to do.
There's not as many, but there are still guys that that's their living.
And that's why they have to promote and that's why they have to spend.
And that's
Like those people from plant building.
He was a farmer.
He's never been to Door County.
Yeah.
And then we go in and then we were in a channel, which is a channel is a channel.
You got Marina boats, all that stuff.
And then we went up the Pottawatomie park and he's like, this is, this is amazing.
don't know how it, but it, people just, it's so, and then you get there and there's so many other things that you can do when you're there.
Like you said, there's a lot of great things, but then the fishing is just a whole nother lane that you can see.
I just, Johnny's, to see a community from
the air from the water is just two views that people sometimes don't get to enjoy.
All right.
And we're, and I go to L. I said, what is it?
Is that a, is that a prison?
Is it a whatever it goes?
That's the high school.
I said, my God, that looks the size of a, and it just looked just on that hill kind of just incredible.
It looked like a castle.
Right.
Right.
It's like, this is Manitowoc with this castle.
Right.
Well, you never would have seen that
Well, like, see, my wife loves Potawatomi Park.
Well, she's a fall person.
Her birthday is in October.
She's a very, you know, fall colors and all that stuff.
And I'll tell you what, another thing like she loves, have you guys driven through Potawatomi Park?
I have.
Okay.
Have you driven all the way down to the boat launch?
Okay.
Well, it's all twisty tourney.
And then there's a section of road where there's trees in the middle and all that stuff.
And that's all, you know, when
if you're into that, that's a huge, like, oh my God, this is beautiful.
And then even when you look at Pottawatomie Park from the water, you have all those leaves changing on that ledge because all those trees are up on that ledge.
And it's, as a nature thing, it's great.
That's why everybody was so excited that the new tower,
reopened because you can look over, you can look over Sherwood Point on that tower, you can out into the bay, out to the north, out to the quarry, all that stuff.
So it's, you know,
And they were just talking about how hoity-toity the people are out there and the cops, just some of the weird complaints they got.
A guy called and he's just like, I'm just hearing this, because there are very stuffy people out there.
I'm hearing this noise, this constant like humming noise and guys like,
That's the ocean.
Another lady called the complaint because the construction worker that was working on his property next door didn't take his shoes off.
Yeah.
Look, the keys have horrible traffic, too.
haven't
but
oh, yeah.
Two at one lane each way, and you're going 15 miles an hour for
next two hours.
But
Yeah.
weather.
Yeah.
So if
this year's been the worst month
So.
So here's the thing, it's gonna rain today.
It's gonna rain today, believe it
not.
So today, if it rains today at the farmer's market, that means it's five for seven
that.
Five for seven.
Five for
But does it?
It doesn't.
Well, it has.
Yeah, the one I saw two weeks ago.
I think it, yeah, they said 40% chance of rain and it rained from three 30 until eight.
Yeah.
Well,
but it's not, it's the, the, the problem is, is it's the area that we're in.
So like in Green Bay, if you're going to the farmer's market, right?
Like you guys, let's say you guys like going to the farmer's market every week, right?
Well, it's raining.
So what do you think you're going to say when it's raining?
Right?
I'm, I'll go next week.
Next week, right?
If I have an event in Door Coney where you have
All outsiders coming in, they're going to go and they're going to say, we're here.
We're spending a lot of money to be here.
We're going to go by God.
We're going to
go.
We're going to
go.
Right.
So that's the, that's how it's different.
So like if you have a local, every week farmers marker, every week event and it rains, we'll just get it next time.
point.
But the problem is, is the next time has been rain and rain and rain.
So this year I've had
I've had, I believe, 10 events either canceled or affected by race.
Wow.
Nick, my phone says 84 and sunny.
Nope.
No, I don't know.
Are
So Fox 11 this morning, it's 60% from three to
what this is.
song from, uh, is it the Pretender's?
Here comes the rain again.
Oh, from the Eurythmics.
Eurythmics.
Yes.
Yes.
All right.
this.
John Kramer headlines for the press times, including Big Mouth and the Power Two Horns.
Terry Barr, we got a full slate, but she's curtain it.
Got to ask you heading into the fourth like this.
We had a lady on yesterday that was a lot of fun.
talked about different things she tries to do for the fourth.
Do people come to you ever and say, Hey, throw in this big bash in the fourth.
I want you.
What kind of a menu could you give me?
Does that ever
happen?
It does, but, uh,
can't leave door Coney.
We honestly can't.
Huh?
Well, it's just, there's a lot of money there.
Okay.
Right.
Let's be honest.
is, well, like for, for example, I got 1200 pounds of cheese curds for three events in door Coney.
I got
stupid amount of brats.
I think I got, I don't know, 25 cases of burger.
We're rolling up, you know, it just-
Yeah.
Burger's brats.
Well, I saw, I have satellite radio, so I listened to satellite radio and I think yesterday before they said, you know how many hot dogs are going to be eat in the month of July alone?
Yeah.
Nationwide.
Eight.
million
dog
you're like your thing, you know, you had a whole bunch of stuff there, you
You know, so, so here's the thing with that, you know, there's, there's an art, you know, how everybody's got all these, remember like 10 years ago, how all these different burgers were coming, you know, the guacamole burger and this burger and a Western burger and you know,
Yeah.
I honestly,
a, you give me a juicy burger with some fried onions and cheese.
Totally agree.
Yeah.
Juicy, a lightly toasted buttered bun.
Totally agree.
You know.
That trumps
anything.
I don't care what you're putting on it.
My mouth is literally salivating.
was gonna bring in food today.
I was gonna bring in food
but you just had the hot dog thing, and then it's the 4th of July, so I didn't want to wear you guys out for like 4th
July.
night last night.
But next time I come in.
So
right, right.
But if, overall, for just
a, you want a juicy burger done medium, medium well, so it's got some, you know, it's juicy yet.
Onions, and you know what, I get it, people don't want, but a nice slice of American cheese to have it melt all in there.
A
bun.
like, you know what?
I gotta have a
too.
you know what's, what's funny is, so we ever, on our menu.
they're out of them at Quick Trip, I don't even buy it.
Right.
So like,
when I vent, I'm totally with you.
Am
I a snob
or what?
Yeah.
When I'm venting- Oh, Wisconsin people.
You know
what?
I bet you 30% of the people that like want a burger, cause I just have burgers, brats, hot dogs on the menu, right?
You don't have cheeseburgers?
No, cheese is in the cooler and they're like, what?
I'm like,
I don't charge for cheese.
You can, you can make a cheese sandwich if you want on top of your burger.
Like if you want to pile a lot of cheese, you can.
You know what I put in a hamburger?
charge, I don't charge for cheese.
So it's funny when, when we're talking about how you don't want to eat a cheese, if a burger, if there's no cheese on it.
Oh, I don't, I don't want a burger because I want cheese.
No, cheese is in the cooler.
And then their eyes light up and they're like, what?
And I'm like, yeah, I don't charge for cheese.
that a cheeseburger?
I offer shredded cheese, so it actually does melt.
It'll melt because
Hey, Jim.
Jim, so
here's the thing, because you very, you don't frequent me hardly at all.
Did
Even if I didn't have cheese in the cooler I got cheese curds so you can when you get your cheese curds good point you can throw the curds on the burger
