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,

it's all frozen out there.

No, it's not this one isn't They even think there's trout net

You know, it's funny John.

I'm kind of keep up with the news a little bit.

I have not

follow different

things.

I guess we do Okay, do you know how far a light year is?

Yeah, okay, and there's water.

Yeah Like

there's

other sons out there, right?

Yeah, I suppose the only son

there's more water in that lake.

Okay, then all of our oceans put together and everything

Interesting.

Yeah,

very very very I got some time this

Holiday out look it up.

I'm going to I got said at the beach.

I won't listen to Yeah, you know my podcast.

No, I won't listen to podcast.

I'm gonna read up on your okay.

Good.

I just saw this Yeah, G G J 12 14 B. It's located 40 light years away.

It's known as water world

with exotic forms of water like hot ice and superfluid water.

So it is a thing.

Can you give me a bell, please?

Can

you give it down

so we can hear the

bell?

Can we?

It's a too much ass

so we can hear

the bell.

T.O.I.

1452, 100 light-years away, it's considered a strong candidate to be an ocean planet.

They've actually seen dolphins.

What's the source on that, Todd?

That would be your scientists.

That is a Smithsonian.

Um, and here's the thing.

I'm well,

the story about the, the 40 light years water came out in 2012.

So it's been known since 2012, Jim.

Hey, you know what else is cool?

You see what they're finding in that big cave in Kentucky?

Sharks.

Wow.

Prehistoric sharks.

Wow.

Isn't that cool?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And there's another guy in, where was it?

With a metal detector somewhere in England, found all kinds of Roman.

He found a Roman slipper.

When the Romans overtook England and they marched all the way through, they found a Roman slipper on the trail.

Is that amazing?

It's like perfectly preserved.

My next career, I'm going into archeology like you can't even believe.

That

I am you're letting your next lifetime my next life.

Yeah, and that that is cool And then

when you find it

the value is unbelievable.

Well, yes and no It's like if you fight if you were off the coast if you were scuba diving or snorkeling off the coast of Florida and you stumbled upon a Chest with gold balloons the state takes that They won't let you have it.

Well, that's international waters though, right?

But I'm talking about like that Sue right that lady in South Dakota the dinosaur

But she must look back when she sold it for $3 million.

Remember it, right?

Oh, I don't remember

this one.

I don't remember that one, but...

If you found a dinosaur, would you let it go for $3 million?

I don't know if I... I don't know what I'd do.

That'd be cool.

Yeah.

Anyway... I mean, you could probably live on $3 million for the rest of your life, right?

I think I'd live

well.

I'd be in the U.P.

paying 160 bucks a month rent.

You could probably live very well.

You could

live really well

on that.

Absolutely.

That's what you're saying.

That's my U.S.

truck.

You could.

One door would be a different color than the others.

You,

yeah.

You could.

Yeah.

A million dollars isn't what it used to be, but three million.

Yeah, you'd have

to still.

Depending where you are, downtown Chicago, the Gold Coast, not

so much.

Yeah.

But anyway, that would be a cool thing, but I wonder how long you would do that.

until it's like, ah, I'm just like trying to be an actor.

You don't say it.

Look, I'm, I'm giving it up

for

two years or something because you got to find something.

I'm going to be honest with you.

Another thing I'm thinking about doing when I retire is moving to Hollywood.

Are we spending some time in Hollywood and trying to get bit parts?

Oh, John, you know how many?

No,

I could be a character actor.

Yeah.

And you know what you're going to make me a character actor?

You know, what is the

wage?

Yeah.

Yeah.

You get

your or even an extra.

What card is

that?

I would be a phenomenal extra.

Would do

something

standing line all day for six months

people show up takes is one shot one shot One shot today is also made in the u.s.

And you're so

patient to stand around and have nothing happen.

Mm-hmm.

Let's

work up a

conversation

Sports journalist day.

Oh, that's very

cool.

It's cool.

It's you

disco day even better Okay, can I be honest me?

That's the only type of dancing I've ever done

I and I could see that me too.

It's funny.

I just yeah, I that could have gone right by and we all kind of like oh, he did do that

cuz you didn't you know why Cuz you know why cuz you'd like to close you didn't have to move your feet.

You could just dance around just gonna

Yeah

OK, we need video.

All right.

Yes, we do.

Me and the lunch lady.

Wow.

Sorry.

Yeah, no,

that's.

You can tell I said

that.

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 Marinus, 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 A.J.

Hawks' wife and Aaron Cahn'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.

Really?

It was like a teenage girl.

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 often, 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.

That's cool.

Yeah.

There's something about that.

That's what.

We kind of like to get that back a little bit, too.

That

is

where it was, it's not, it wasn't the sport, it was the character.

Yes, yes.

Or the person, I should say.

Yes.

What else you got here?

Good morning, says Luann.

Luann, meet the press podcast.

Does not cover UFOs and aliens?

That's, that's Brian.

Okay, he's kind of defending me a little bit.

That's why

I missed

that.

You don't think he is?

What?

He's asking a question.

You mean you can't follow UFOs and aliens on your Meet the Press podcast on Sunday morning

stream.

Okay, I missed that.

All right.

This is true.

What Terry just said.

This is, do you remember this?

You must.

Of course you are

right in the middle of that.

I was in, I was doing my internship at KNBC TV, no KPNX TV in Phoenix, Arizona.

Big difference.

Big difference.

Big call letters.

Big difference.

And I remember that disco demolition that would have been the summer of 79.

Um, no.

Wasn't that 80?

I think it was 79.

Steve Dahl did that, right?

Yeah.

I think that

was

80.

I

don't know.

John Travolta Mino.

July 12th, 1979.

Wow.

So I have an idea.

The 12th is, well, it's a Saturday.

Maybe we do a special day.

Hey, I got to tell you

something.

Okay.

So you mentioned Steve.

Okay.

So Civic just bought.

A bunch of radio stations in the UP.

Correct.

Five stations.

I think one's in Wisconsin.

The rest are in, uh, yeah.

One's in Iron River.

One of them

when they started up W UPY radio.

Yep.

Okay.

Whoopee radio

in Ishperming.

And this is Antonagon.

Same thing.

Well, that might be where the license is.

Gotcha.

Yeah.

The studio was in Ishperming.

Okay.

That makes sense.

But anyway, um, one of their first people.

Became one of the biggest names at broadcasting.

His name was Jason Jennings

Okay,

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

was yeah, 70

okay Well, my brother was a deputy sheriff and he had to be like one of his bodyguards

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

to get big he did that

For self-promotion climbing over the fence.

Yeah.

Yeah,

that was those days.

Yeah, right.

That's what I'm saying.

The news people try to do with the radio.

It's all about them.

Exactly.

Do something over the top.

So did he?

And 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 the

ladies were treating me right.

Moving my feet to the disco.

How in the world could I keep my sheep?

Hey, welcome back!

Come

on in on the merry here in a beautiful Wednesday morning, once again, 65 in Green Bay, 70 in Alton, 68 in Oshkosh, National Disco Day.

Let us know what your best disco memories are back today.

And by the way, that's on Rick D's.

Yeah.

Back when DJs used to put up records.

Big hit for him.

Huge hit for him.

Huge hit for him.

It's phenomenal.

Um, so when we had Mike Steve Pack on, we talked about that.

Can't I'm trying to think the name was it Shabooms?

One of the point.

No, not Shabooms.

One of the places in Green

Bay that was the.

So we're like you people from two rivers.

Yes.

Do you guys have a disco?

Yeah, we're kind of like.

No, I think we just went to like bars.

I don't remember discos there.

You know what?

Okay, you

know, did you go to evil Iran's?

That was like, I've never heard of it.

Okay.

No, what was the place?

Okay.

There's there's there's places in Manitowoc that were 18 year old bars or something.

So what were those

bar?

They were just

could you get beer?

Yeah.

At that point you could have beer if you were 18, right?

Yeah.

Well, then why did they have beers or why did they have bars specifically?

for like 18 year olds.

No, I don't think so.

Okay,

I think, was it?

I could be wrong, but I think this is more in my time.

When they changed the law from 18 to 19, they were still 18 year old bars or something.

That's what I mean, that's what I mean.

I've had people mention that.

It was an 18 year old bar.

And, but it seemed like it was only for like, it was almost like a NCO club, like in the military where it's like, no officers, no people below, just this one certain age bracket?

No, that wasn't me.

When I was 18, you could drink.

And then it went to 21, I don't know, eight years later or

something like that.

Went to 19 first in Wisconsin and then switched to 20.

But you probably maybe weren't living

here at the time, right?

Nope, wasn't here.

Nope.

Okay.

18 though, that's, what is it?

Is it 18 now?

No, it's 21.

That's what I

thought.

It was 18.

It turned 18 when I was in high school.

Right.

Yeah.

That's

young,

though.

That's young.

Can you imagine being that person whose birthday was just

one birthday off and you

could he had a way to whole year to go

out?

Yeah, because my first day, I went up to visit Masabi Community College on my 18th birthday and the coach took me out.

Really, the coach?

Yeah, that's great.

I know.

Oh, God, that's great.

And that's that's when I told I've told you this story.

I threw up green beer.

And I've never had a thing for green beer ever since.

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.

Yeah.

Does the initiation, did he do it all kids or did he just tell them for you?

I think pretty much everybody.

Wow.

Yeah.

He would take me on recruiting trips and we'd stop at like six bars on the way back.

Yeah.

Isn't that crazy when you think about that?

Yeah, did it end there, John?

I worry about people who we were just talking about.

Well, whatever.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, yeah,

yeah.

Grooming.

Different story.

Hey, Brewers, you got a split double-header?

They do because they had a call last night.

I didn't know they were going to play that one today.

That's awesome.

Cool.

1135 and 535 on WISS.

That's very cool.

Fun.

I love it.

I love it a lot.

Hey, well, Todd, we had a bunch of, we had some other people to say hello this morning.

I

think we got rid of

them.

No, that was okay.

That was it.

I was gonna tell you I Cardinal sin last night.

So I was at Elkhart Lake right now.

I was driving home and I had to get gas a quick trip, you know, and

oh, I know what you did.

Uh-oh.

What'd you grab?

I did.

I went inside.

Yeah, I have not been in a quick trip.

It's got to be six weeks, but

I know made the mistake of going in well John you know what they have there?

I've been in there.

I can

tell you the whole menu I can tell you which days they're half price.

No, I even said to the lady This is a nice store.

You know, that's how long it's been.

Yeah, I haven't done anything to it.

They have it was 449 is on special a Double chicken breast sandwich.

Yeah Do you have that?

I feel like I'm eating more healthy than the Angus burger.

I know I passed on that

Okay,

I'm gonna tell you I got more willpower than you because I haven't done that a quick trip for quite some

time I know we talked about that and I felt bad.

I felt bad.

I felt bad.

I Did lose my way at circle K yesterday.

What did you do before I had a burger?

That they've got circle K's

good

stuff.

Those trucks

are good.

I know they have upgraded food so much I just wish they don't all have soup anymore

Oh, that's too hot.

Yeah, it's too hot for soup.

Why did you go in to get food?

See, I was

a soda.

I literally stopped him to get a soda.

I wasn't going to go in.

I mean, I

needed a soda and a loaf of bread.

Soon as I walked through the door, it was like.

the alcoholic walk into the bar.

I knew I was gonna buy, I knew I was gonna buy.

I

wish I could say no.

I will say this, I did walk, you know how you go behind there's the fresh vegetables and a hard boiled egg.

Which grab?

No, I did nothing.

I just walked by.

Walk around.

Every intention though of not buying that food.

Me too.

I could not do it.

Yeah.

I could not.

I'm never doing that again.

I could not do it.

New movie idea.

Indiana John and the inevitable doom Indiana John and earth the disco ball and a pristine leisure suit with bell bottoms and then proceeds to spill his coffee all over the leisure suit

Maybe he used chat GP

saved up I saved up all my money working at the holiday gas station up in Minnesota one time so I could buy a

Levi a jean

leisure

suit.

That was

happening.

That was a happening thing back in those days.

That was that was belt belt items.

Oh,

yeah, they didn't make any other kind did they any other pants?

No, no does that's you know, don't never forget first day of high school.

What are 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 and 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, that's good through public schools.

They did a lot of leeway.

Oh, man, I can't believe it.

So this is what Terry said is true, too.

Quick trip.

Yeah, they put the donuts, the sweet rolls right near the cash register, so it's easy to grab.

Yeah, and the food that you should eat, that's like the welcome mat.

And they sell those 40 ounces.

Oh yeah, right there, right there.

Unreal.

That's how they

get you.

How dear are they?

I know, right?

Capitalism.

Good thing we got discipline.

We

don't have a chance.

Discipline.

Oh my God.

We'll be back after

this.

It's easy to take Mino and the Mayor wherever you go.

Now back to Mino and the Mayor.

Here's John Mino and Jim Schmidt.

Hey, thank you very much.

Welcome back.

We're at the guy that's probably spending less time in his house than anybody I know, cheese curd Nick.

Well, if he wasn't growing up cheese curds is on the water.

Yes, sir.

I've been on the water.

I had, uh, what five, six days off and I fished every single one of them.

Had a couple charters this weekend.

Yep.

Nice.

And where

and what, 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.

So do you pay the people, what happens?

How does that work?

Like if they come over from Minnesota

and they go one

weekend

and it rains.

Yeah.

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

but if it rained and they couldn't go out

Well rain is rain is lightning or what?

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 8 30.

Okay, I'm 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 him, it's like, you know, you got some of the best fishing.

What are

you doing

here?

I was like, 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.

Yes.

And okay, I'm going to be honest with it.

They said they've seen John Gillespie show.

And that's why they want

to come there.

Yeah.

So John, so John Gillespie had a show on this past week in O'Connell for perch and a fish after fish after fish.

And, uh, this was sat, it 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.

Well, that's that's a common thing with live bait these days.

Well, but it's not like it used to be where, you know, people, that was their profession was live bait.

Because again, I made a living with nightcrawlers.

Right.

So but what happened was just because of the thing being on the radio or on the TV, right?

There's a huge rush.

There was a there was like, hey, we got to get there.

And then he gets wiped out.

So yeah, 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.

Up in that area around Dorr County, though, I mean, there's a little bit of everything.

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

cool thing to do with the father son or just it's different.

I mean, you can golf.

a lot.

You can

sit at

the beach forever.

But yeah, I have, you know, a charter.

How much is like

my charter is $425 for a half a day, two people.

And then it's $75 a person after the two people.

So

what?

I mean, that's great.

You provide everything.

Yep.

I provide.

Well, other than, you know, like I said, snacks or snacks or if you want a soda, you know, I don't

want.

So they catch fish.

Then what happens?

They

do.

I mean, do you clean them?

Do

you offer cleaning services?

But I charge for it because it's, you know, it's time consuming.

I hate

cleaning fish so much.

It's unbelievable.

So 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.

What is it, Todd, you know this?

Oh yeah, definitely.

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.

All I saw

in your picture was that the tail had been eaten.

Yeah, that's why I asked my wife.

I asked my wife, where 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 I had 15 perched on in 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.

You know, I know what I made the mistake of doing what I went white bass fishing

and came

home with a bucket of white.

Oh yeah.

It's like, it's a great, it's like, Hey, look at all that.

You got to clean them all.

Do

most people, they ended up in a garden.

Do most 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's just, if I get 10 clients the whole year, so be it, you know, whatever, but it's something different to do.

Well, actually he has another job with, with that Schwaben on, he was telling us about, but

Because the days I think of people putting all their eggs in that basket of having a good season I don't know if those guys are around as

much anymore.

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 why those are the

guys you'll see at the fishing shows like at the whatever

they have to do that Yeah, but

I think

that guy's son though is in he's in it too, but so so is he

Okay, but that's what a fun thing to do because you're probably like gonna do it anyway Absolutely

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.

Yeah.

Yeah, well Jim and I talked about something though

people have to see places, even Green Bay, they need to see it from a different perspective, which the water gives you.

It

does.

I just, and Door County is so well branded, you know, and I 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.

I

remember the first fishing story I did with Big L. Sampson out of two rivers.

And I go to L. I said, what is it?

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, it looked like a castle.

It's like, this is Manitowoc with this castle?

But you never would have seen that perspective.

hot air balloon or hang gliding or

something

just really to get low, not flying over, you know, 30,000.

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?

I don't know.

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,

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,

that tower got replaced,

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,

So we just have,

I love Wisconsin for, you know, the beauty of it.

I was just reading this thing this morning about the Hamptons, you know, of course, out in New York.

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 at it was working on his property next door.

I didn't take his shoes off.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

But we have been there.

Oh, yes.

Oh,

yeah.

My daughter, you know,

she works up.

Yeah, she works.

Yeah.

But she's still far out

there.

It's so.

It

is.

I mean, I would want to write in

two places.

She said that

a

terrible Cape Cod in the Hamptons.

Yeah.

Look,

the keys have horrible traffic, too.

I haven't been down there, but

the...

Oh, yeah.

Two at one lane each way, and you're going 15 miles an hour for the next two hours.

But they're

both worth it.

I don't know if worth it is the right word, but keep caught on takeover.

That's... Their destination.

Yeah.

So, got a big gigs coming

up.

I know you've

had some rough weather.

Yeah, the... So, if it's... Was

junior worst month ever for...

This year's been the worst month.

And Wednesdays, they've been picking on you.

So here's the thing, it's gonna rain today.

It's gonna rain today, believe it or not.

So today, if it rains today at the farmer's market, that means it's five for seven on rain.

We're talking about that.

Five for seven.

Five for seven.

Well, we had

Mary Rode on here from Broadway and she says, she had a smile on her

face, but

he just tells like, we've had

enough.

Some of us complain, you know, we pay the city band concert to $3,000 to

play for one hour at St.

James Park and they sometimes play and there's 40 people there.

It's like, can't you guys like cancel and play the next day or play a different day?

Because nobody's going to come in the rain, you know?

Whereas you

guys- Do the crowds still come out for you?

Well, I think they do because it

doesn't

rain for four hours.

But does it?

It doesn't.

Well, it has.

Yeah, the one I sold two weeks ago.

I think it, yeah, they said 40% chance of rain and it rained from three 30 until eight.

Yeah.

Well, okay.

That's a long

time, 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'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.

That's a good 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 rain.

Wow.

Nick, my phone says 84 and sunny.

Not this one in here.

Nope.

No, I don't know.

Are you

sure where you're getting your stuff from there?

So Fox 11 this morning, it's 60% from three to six.

I don't even know what this is.

Wow.

You're looking at some other town and some other

state.

Hey, what's that song from?

Is it the Pretenders?

Here comes the rain again.

Oh, from the Eurythmics.
