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.

Good morning,

Todd.

What's the laughter for already?

Well, first of all, I will no longer during any breaks or anything like that.

Yeah, I will no longer be sitting in this chair.

OK.

This camera makes us look really wide.

And

I've had

people say that.

Oh, I'm sure they're happy with you.

They think you do that on purpose.

I say.

Fiddling around here with the camera before we went on.

I know what you're doing.

You're doing that wide angle thing,

right?

They really make it.

Yes.

I mean, I'm not gonna lie

neither does the camera

Exactly Wow So remember I said I put 11 pounds over a week.

Oh, yeah, did you lose that?

No, I'm still up Wow, I went from 210 to 214 in a weekend

that has

stayed now

But that class reunion is like what

eight days of not even Wednesday

Ooh, you

gotta

hit eight pounds in four days

five days.

Don't they have those like fat suits?

Yeah, whatever.

I'm

going to do it.

What'd you do in wrestling?

Didn't you do like?

Oh, yeah.

X lax,

baggies, rubber, baggies, rubber suits, right?

Yeah.

I don't think we had the

budget for the rubber

suit.

Oh, and then you just take the last one.

Sweat would just

pour off.

Yeah, I know.

So I got to try something, man.

Oh, boy.

Yes, how you doing Todd?

I'm good.

What were you guys doing this morning early?

Oh my god.

Okay, so go ahead I just woke up really fell asleep early early woke up really early did nothing but red type thing But so you go ahead and tell everybody wait because you came okay You came in looking like you just got done working at the afternoon shift at the mill and one of that one of the paper machines went down and you had to

Change parts and

sweaty and you're all whatever

change shirts because it got dirty right man.

So

okay,

so I didn't sleep as well as I wanted to

So I'm leaving right after the show going to a resort, right?

And the restaurants, the lines are too long.

You have to wait too long.

I don't like eating at restaurants at this time of year because you have to wait.

So we're gonna cook food, grill food.

The problem at the resort, you have balconies, but you can't have grills on the balcony.

Like your

place, right?

So you have to use like... All places are like that.

All places are like that.

So you have to use like a community grill.

And I talked to Donna, she goes, you know, there's a lot of people that are grilling out.

I don't want to wait, right?

And I can, I can just see, I'll get behind the guy that is like really slow, doesn't know how to grill.

And so I thought, you know what, um, heck with it, I'm going to grill the food

here.

Back up just one second though.

Are you saying you would use a grill immediately after some other guy used to that grill?

I would

clean it, but he would do

that surprise me, Todd.

What are you going to do?

I don't know.

I

well, I know one thing.

I know one

thing.

I know what.

You're not doing it.

Yeah, yeah.

You're asking me what you do.

Can you know girls?

And

I've never done that.

Because

remember we mentioned that about parks, going

to city

parks.

And he

says, I would never do

that.

I never have done that.

And I'm thinking, because we're going to be there for five days ago.

My son-in-law's coming.

There's nine of us.

And I thought, wait a minute, I don't think I like that.

It's kind of my idea.

And this isn't going to work.

And so anyway, the more I thought about it, the less I slept.

And I thought, you know what?

So what is it?

So, what would you do?

I would start to read, you know, something that kind of loves you to sleep, something that's not, you know, would have spine tingler, maybe watch an old movie, try

to find an old

thing, something like

that.

Skrull social media.

Yeah,

yeah,

yeah.

I came up with two ideas.

Okay.

One was to go and buy a grill, my own.

Okay, get the charcoal three in the morning.

Well, no, it's just I would

like right after the show,

okay?

Drive some place to Menards by a grill by the charcoal, but have my own so I don't have to deal with people which Which I'm shocked that you haven't done that before right?

Okay.

Go ahead.

That is a strategy, right?

The other thing I thought well anyway, but you would buy the charcoal instead of the gas, huh?

If I said I don't need a grill John, so I would buy it.

Okay.

Got it Get the charcoal use it and leave it for got it.

Okay.

All right the other thing I thought you know what?

The chickens there, the brats are there.

I'm just gonna get up and cook this stuff right now.

At what time?

Probably 10 to three.

So you're outside in your backyard?

At three o'clock.

Grilling at three

o'clock.

Turn the light on.

I was like, it might have been a little bright for my neighbor, but he didn't call.

So I, yeah, that's what I did.

Milton comes down.

He's like, what are you doing?

I'm like, just go to sleep.

So I did that.

So now we're gonna have to heat it up, but it's gonna be, it's gonna work better.

It looks great.

barbecue sauce is on there.

So that's what I did.

I did that.

And I feel really, really good that I did that.

That was a good decision.

So

just

from three to one.

Well, I did different things.

I did even cook some vegetables on there too.

So yeah, I was done at, I don't know, four to five probably worked out great.

And then I made some pasta salads.

I was gonna do that anyway.

So you boiled some noodles and put shrimp in there.

You know, typical stuff.

I am not joking about this.

You should.

Think about being a, not a huge, but almost like a party caterer, where you would cook this stuff for the people, you would grill it, you're doing your own kitchen, your own utensils, your own pots and pans, whatever, and then get those big things, you know, it keeps, and bring it right to the place.

No?

I'd rather have people over, like, but this pasta salad, you would like that pasta salad I made

today, that was good.

I think you could make some serious money doing that.

Yeah, I'd rather.

I

don't know you just told me a story this morning about how much you love cash Anyway,

so that's yeah, that's what I did and I feel really good because I would be here this morning thinking like I had to go buy this grill or I'd be even more stressed out thinking I'm gonna get there and I'm gonna and everybody's gonna be around the grill and I'm gonna want to Cook it like you know for and I'm not gonna get on the grill till six.

You know I mean like that and it's gonna stress me out so

It's done, I'm in control, and I happen to like being in control.

So- Can't picture you stressed out with the family on a vacation?

Or needing to be in control?

No, neither one of those.

So it's done.

It's done.

I feel really good.

Good.

Good, good, good.

And my mom's coming today too, and I don't want to make her wait.

That's special.

You bet.

That's awesome.

That's great.

It's done.

And how about you, John?

What did you, same thing, or what?

I read.

I just picked up a, at least, the good.

We neither of us slept though.

Why is it though?

And then I don't

know this

literally the alarm went off it like I'm just starting to like dream a little bit and boom though, you know Why is is there something psychological about a person that?

Right before they have to get up all of a sudden They can sleep.

I know is that crazy?

It's like it's unbelievable But anyway, you know what it is a beautiful beautiful morning out there the day before what what more can you ask for than to be in

State of Wisconsin the UP wherever wherever right now

and at this time like I was talking to some friends over last night The this I'm really in we talked about the spirit.

I don't if you call it like it's more the Christmas spirit, but Yesterday our show was like I like you said that I think was one of the best shows we had in terms of the and we've had some great guests I'm not taking anything away from any of our guests, but Big Mouth Woody that was just

I got so many comments from people you can't believe

it.

I'll say then it was even

It was topped off as equal last night the city the Green Bay City Band concert played their patriotic set and it was unbelievable perfect last night

I actually went in what first time I've gone out a little bit when set by the water a little bit last night.

Yeah, since yeah This is great, man.

And then you know, we're talking about Favorite holidays and everybody probably has one.

I think this is it for me because I

guess Thanksgiving minus Thanksgiving.

I really

love

Thanksgiving.

That's a good one but

Yeah, I don't that would be close.

But

I think it goes back to my college days.

Because the night before Thanksgiving was so much fun.

Yeah,

that's a good one.

And then we're, you know, both like you too, Alter Boys, it's kind of nice.

You don't have the math.

Easter was the worst.

I hate the

month.

I'm sorry.

I know

one of your priest friends listens.

And I don't mean anything.

No, I beg in religion a little bit sometimes.

I don't mean to.

But it's just I we go back to that era.

of, I mean, I got, when I learned how to be an altar boy, it was in Latin.

Yeah.

So, I mean, we go back to the hardcore.

Three hours of Friday.

And when you had, you were scheduled to, I mean, we'd be scheduled to do 530 mass all week long.

In the incense.

And go to school all day.

And then every first Friday, every, every holiday, I mean, every, uh, saint's birthday.

You know what I mean?

I

mean,

it

was, it was such a big part of your life.

It was very, it's almost like the Amish sometimes when the kids get a chance to leave, it's like, well, I'm just going to step back a little bit.

Very, but ironically, I might step into being Amish.

That's right.

That's right.

I could see that.

But I even though.

That was very meaningful to go to those masses.

It was.

That meant a lot to me.

But I still, this, this is fun because.

There's just no pressure.

Somebody else does the fireworks.

Somebody,

you

know, the cooking, I love doing the cooking.

I just, this is great.

I mean, I'm all into this holiday, so.

I too.

It's a little extended too.

It's like three days of nothing.

Tell us your favorite ones.

Texas Hills.

We got it.

We got it.

Good morning, everybody, from Vicky.

Hi, Vicky.

She's awesome.

I figured Jim would be calmly folding his linens and brushing Milton when he can't sleep.

Right?

Yeah.

My feelings are hurt about your quote, best show ever, Michael.

I'm

sorry, Michael.

Michael's been on our show many times.

Well,

not that.

Michael, we've done it at his place.

I know.

I don't think that what we did,

the two we did for Michael were two of our all-time best shows.

The all-time

best shows.

The On Locations.

Don't you agree, Todd?

Yeah, maybe.

Oh, yeah.

They were phenomenal.

I know.

I didn't mean to best show.

I meant the most emotional show.

Oh,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's what I meant.

But you cried, remember, on your birthday or something when you got your dog picture?

That's right.

That was good.

That's right.

That's right.

That's right.

I mean, don't forget the anniversary show that was.

That was emotional.

That

was great.

The day the ping-pong balls drop,

that's right.

Kids running around trying to get their sandwich.

From the helicopter?

Yeah.

All right, all right, all right.

Let's move on.

That would have been fun if we would have dropped actual sandwiches.

Oh,

that would have been awesome.

Oh, that would have been really great.

You know what somebody texted me, Todd?

This was a few weeks back.

We're talking about that.

But they said, you know, you can probably get drones these days

that could do something like that.

Probably.

Yeah.

Oh, god.

Did you have to?

I'm sorry.

I'm just throwing it out there.

I know a couple drone people that okay.

Yeah, let me look into that All right

got this one that dedication

gets

you into the elder boy Hall of Fame John.

Thank you, Brian.

All right

Yeah, today is stay out of the Sunday.

Huh, okay Yeah, I got the eye.

I mean, I'm telling

you well, why would they have that on the third of July?

I know but it's it's

It's funny when you do step outside when you're not supposed to be in the Sun.

Yeah, like I'm not supposed to be in the Sun That's not as warm as you know, I haven't been like almost sequestered Wait for this thing to heal and it's like when you go out in that it's like whoa, but so you

haven't done a

sun for what three weeks Since the 27th of May

so they talk about you know, you're I have with a

band-aid on and

stuff.

Oh Talk about vitamin D. Do you feel less energy?

I mean the Sun is not

Bad.

The sun's good for you.

Sometimes, right?

Yeah, I fight them in D. I haven't noticed anything, to be honest with you.

Plastic bag, free day.

That'll never take.

You know what?

You remember it used to be paper or plastic?

Nobody ever took the paper.

Everybody takes plastic because you use them in garbage bags.

Air conditioning appreciation day.

We didn't have air.

We only needed it three days a year growing up.

We didn't have air conditioning.

Did you?

Yeah, you'd never.

But fried clam day like that.

Do you?

I don't know if I would.

Oh, really?

Then you put bread.

I don't

think that's real healthy.

That's the only way I like clams.

You eat them where they're just like, oh, no, I'm thinking of

oysters.

Never mind.

Never mind.

I'm thinking of oysters.

Olivia Munn 44 today.

She's why I was thinking of that was in that

show.

I really like

her.

Really like Tom Cruise is 62.

Aaron Tippin 66.

Montell William 68.

Jan Smithers.

I knew you would like that one.

My goodness gracious.

I'm not even joking about this.

She's like my all time cute girl who I would have wanted as a girlfriend.

Yeah.

In the day.

You know, it's not like the whole voluptuous yada, yada, yada, which is, you know, unreachable anyway.

But the Jan Smithers, the cute Jan Smithers, when she wear a little sweater over a tight t-shirt and tight jeans, not to even pay attention to that.

But she, I still love Jan

Smithers.

She was Bailey on WKR, P and Cincinnati.

Oh, all right.

I know who she is.

I know

who she

is.

Yeah, okay, I can see that.

Sure.

Yeah.

Cute personality.

Yeah, that'd be fun.

Betty Buckley is 77.

She was the mom and it's eight and enough.

It is eight is enough.

That's right.

It wasn't

she John Travolta's girlfriend at

one time.

She may have been, but she was also in Carrie.

She was the teacher.

She was the

gym teacher teacher.

Good call.

Yeah.

Wow.

By the way, folks, later on, you're going to hear once again, Woody Mankowski with a rendition of God was America.

America, America, the beautiful.

That's mind boggling.

Quick break back after

this.

Hey,

welcome back!

Great song.

Yes.

Great song.

I know it's supposed to be a trucker Thursday, but it's going to be patriotic music.

Fantastic.

Fantastic.

Welcome.

97.9 FM, WGBW 98.3, 96.5 FM, WISS, and of course the Civic Media app.

63 in Green Bay, 66 in Abton, 65 in Oshkosh, high in the lower 80s.

What a perfect, perfect day to head into the holiday weekend.

This is phenomenal.

It really is.

I wish that, you know, I know when they messed around with it.

Okay.

I love it that the 4th of July is on a Friday.

Okay.

It should always be on a Friday.

So you can have that long weekend.

So when it's like a Tuesday and you want to go to fireworks, if it's not, you know, if you have a party, everybody has to go.

I have to work tomorrow.

I have to get up early.

I think it should always be.

Don't you?

No, okay.

No, we have, by the fact, we changed that when I got elected.

I know

you did.

Fourth is on the fourth.

That's why I

didn't

vote for you that second

time.

Well, I think that is a reason.

We were nothing to do with it.

force on the fourth.

Okay.

No, I that that's like, not really honoring, honoring it.

No, I know.

But people say

that you can't really have a real true party celebration, whatever.

It's on a Wednesday.

Right.

It's kind of tough.

Exactly.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I have to give the UK some credit because they do a lot of bank holidays over there.

There's at least one.

They call them bank holidays.

Bank bank bank.

So basically, it's kind of like

our our president's day or our and they do them on Mondays or Fridays so people get three day weekends perfect thank you well we do that with president's days yeah but nobody gets that that's only if you're in

government but otherwise

you don't get it yeah

well we don't get enough of cake but i i think we get plenty but there's compared to other countries americans oh man when you talk at any vacation yeah no when you talk to someone from

germany oh yeah i'm down at a resort

in Mexico yeah there

it's unbelievable but

There's a couple of countries.

I want it's like Denmark or somebody where they're they're a four-day week now.

It's like it's a four-day work week

What those are economy John

great phenomenal the grease grease Greasy, I don't know but not everything's

about the economy Yeah, the

Danes are the healthiest people on the face of the earth.

They're the happiest people

I'm just telling you, that's what they are.

When's the last time you saw an angry Dane?

John,

I wouldn't know if I saw one.

Oh yeah, you don't want to pee them off.

Trust me, I've seen them.

I'm just saying, I think it's a great thing.

I really do.

Nothing like a great Dane.

I will say something else though that

I know where you're going with that.

There is nothing like a day in the world

or a

dog.

Great.

Oh, great.

Great

games.

But anyway, you know what I, you know what I. OK, let me just say something else that other countries do that everybody that has done it has said it's a really great thing.

Some sort of service for a year.

Like in Norway,

I'm all in on that.

They all

go through two years.

It's almost like being in the reserves.

You go through boot camp for like

two months or

something.

And you learn all

those

Israel.

Then if they call you up.

Yeah, exactly.

We had a bunch of

young ladies

when we did the golf tournament on a night or at Thornberry a few years back.

And these girls.

I mean, I shouldn't call them girls.

Young 20s.

OK.

They were selling and I actually bought one they were selling those things that a lot of golfers use where you put them in the little sticky pads, then they vibrate You know where they hit you in the Lord Lumber

ten tens unit.

Is that what it is?

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, I loaned it to Duke right and I never got it back by the way Call Peg I'll get her on the line, but

Hey, what are you guys?

Well, you know where we got to go back for service next week.

Oh, yeah, I thought service.

I thought some, you know, religious.

She don't know where every couple of years or something we do a month or two of blah blah blah.

And they were sort of, they sort of like very, very attractive young girls.

Okay.

And it's like, oh, we love it.

We absolutely, that's, we look forward to it.

We love it.

We had that other kid play basketball at Green Bay from Norway.

He's, oh my God, it's the best thing ever.

So everybody that I know that has done it, has really enjoyed

it.

You talk about that friend of yours that was here, her daughter came on here, went in for two years, thought it was the best thing she did right after high school.

Well, it's not her,

but she

loves it.

She thought it was the best decision she ever made.

You just learn so much about people's skills, management skills, even though it's not specifically the career.

I think it's great.

Other countries do it.

That is something I wouldn't mind adapting.

Some of the case there's there's things we can learn from other countries.

I think we do it better.

I think overall We do it better than anybody else.

Okay, but let me do okay I'm not gonna argue with you about economy and things like that.

I'm not I'd say be like you argue about quarterbacks from the 60s Okay,

okay, so

I'm giving you that fair, but what I'm saying is

Okay, with the four-day workweek, is your economy?

Well, how about this?

They just hire more people then, so your economy's real good because you need more people to fill all those other days.

I'm not.

Thank you, Ty.

And more time for leisure that you can actually go do something.

Absolutely.

I don't know.

When did I say I'm not opposed to the four-day workweek of 10 hours a day?

Well, you said, you said, how's your

economy?

So that, yeah.

Yeah, if it's eight hours,

you'll

rip the days.

Yeah, I don't know the day's economy.

I know

I do the problem is though, too We have a lot of people working five days a week, but they're working 50 hours They're working 10 hours those days.

So it's like, yeah, come on, right,

right?

It's almost like that.

I just read some of that stuff I know a lot of it's BS.

We just read some but it's like, you know, think about this

you work, you know, how many hours a day for four hours off, you work, how many hours for, and another thing, you know, what they're talking about, and this hit me, because I'm starting to get up there a little bit age-wise, I'll

be honest with you.

Are you?

Yeah, I'm gonna be honest with you, I'm gonna just lay it out there, I'm gonna be honest.

And...

I know I don't look it.

But anyway, um, at least you

don't look like

the lunch

lady.

Come on, stop it.

I can say that.

Turn his mic up.

Turn his mic up.

Turn his mic up.

No, no, no.

John, you're the one who showed me.

Turn his mic up.

No, Todd, turn his mic up.

And he showed me the planning committee.

And it was a picture of, what, nine people?

Maybe it's more than that, 12 people.

And I'm like, John, what's the lunch lady doing in that picture?

One person aged a little bit.

No, no, they're all.

No, they did.

It looked like that.

And then I said, well, was this guy your teacher?

And it wasn't just they looked old.

Their hairstyle was old.

Quick

break, back that bridge, man.

Wow.

At least you look young.

Wow.

Disco mute.

I did some disco dancing here yesterday, Lisa.

A lot of people said, oh

my God, that was so

hot.

Painful.

They said it was hot.

Hey, Lisa.

Hi, Lisa.

Yes.

Hello.

How are

you?

Big

plans?

We're good.

We are excited about the fourth.

You have plans?

We are the fun weekend coming up.

Yep.

Four

day

work week.

I actually have a four day weekend.

I'm going to be off Friday and Monday.

And you know what I'm going to do?

It's

too

long.

I'm going to sleep.

Well.

If you get up at 3 o'clock, you go and grill like Jim does.

Sleeps overrated.

I still

can't believe you're outside with the lights on grilling at 3 in the morning.

You know your neighbors were hearing

that.

Nah, there's a little space there.

I don't.

Yeah, well, I had to get in.

Whatever.

Hi, Lisa Hale.

If you weren't hearing the grilling, they were definitely smelling it.

Could you imagine waking up first thing in the morning and smelling burgers and everything grilling?

Absolutely.

Yes, that's what happened.

It did smell good.

I will say that.

How's the weather in beautiful downtown?

Oh, she got straight now.

Absolutely gorgeous.

I mean, it is sincerely gorgeous over here.

It is.

Awesome.

The next four days, although I did see that might might rain Saturday tomorrow night.

Every forecast has a little bit of rain in it in every single

one.

But anyway, what do you got going on, Lisa?

What's going on with your new Wisco?

Well, new Wisco weekend this weekend is really a great one.

We've got a kind of a.

combined theme happening here.

We're talking a lot about the 4th of July because it is the 4th of July weekend.

And so we've got stories on PTSD and fireworks and fireworks safety and stuff like that.

But we also are our code theme is rock and roll because Monday, June 7th is National Rock and Roll Day.

I did

not know that.

Yes, Terry Barr has a great feature story on that that will start the issue off with.

And we've got lots of little tidbits all the way through it.

Our musical guest is the Bodines.

Do you remember the

Bodines?

Oh my God.

Absolutely.

I absolutely love close to the experience.

The

entire 90s were the Bodines.

Absolutely.

I'm telling you.

I'm telling you.

So yeah, we feature them.

And then our cover story.

this week is a little bit off topic, but it's something that's very important.

And it's an interview that our Melissa K did with Feeding America on just how those federal cuts are going to affect food insecurity here in Wisconsin.

So that's a very good interview with Melissa K as our cover story.

Okay, I've asked this before and I don't mean to be uncomfortable here, but how come you never asked me to do a story for New Whiskey Weekend?

You were a cover story a couple of weeks ago.

You know that but I

wasn't he also the centerfold that way.

Yeah,

right?

And

if we didn't and Did writings went way, right?

That's we didn't air either one.

No,

I want to be a reporter would be the person doing the the questioning type thing

You can do that if you if you want to put together an interview.

Yeah needs to be 13 and a half seconds

13 and a half.

That would be it for

John.

13

and a half minutes is the length of the interview.

That's all you have for an interview or you can create a story for me.

That's about say three minutes, a three minute package.

Anytime you just create something and get it to me.

You got to do me one favor first though, because I'm not going to be the guy to try to do it.

What's that?

Make sure Todd will stick around long enough to ride the board.

You go have to talk to Todd about that.

That's the hard part.

I cannot tell him to do anything.

Join our club.

Lisa, join our club.

I think Lisa is the only one who realizes in this whole mess of Northeast Wisconsin that I am the boss.

Thank you, Lisa.

Thank you.

I was thinking

of both of you guys the other day where they're doing the heat index thing and Jackson,

Mississippi was like

107 because there's

like a hundred and then the humidity.

I thought that has to be just brutally miserable.

Jackson, Mississippi at that hot at that heat.

Jackson, Mississippi itself is brutally when

we were working at Y 101.

Lisa, I was my first gig down in the south, right?

I'd been in Toledo, Ohio and then moved down there and met Lisa, which is a whole.

We could do a whole show on a

whole show on that.

But

I got out of the car and I left my chapstick in the front.

Okay, and I got in and I go, oh, I better go get that.

Got out there.

The whole thing had melted all over everything.

Like, and I was literally in the building 30 seconds.

Oh, yeah.

In

Tucson, actually in Tucson and in Phoenix, um, I didn't have, you know, a lot of those people that, uh, you could buy these things, reflective things to

put your

windshield so they didn't, and

If you didn't, I mean, there were times I would have to have like paper towels or something holding the steering wheel.

Yeah, that's plastic would get so hot.

It was mind boggling.

And then the dashboard would like crack.

Oh, yeah, all the time.

That would happen.

I mean, we talk about crazy things, but that heat is inside of it.

And that's what I hate to say.

But you know, with people, if they're tragically kids or or animals or something, no idea how hot a car can get with those windows.

Oh, yeah.

Even if it's say 75 degrees out.

And that's, you know, a nice temperature when it's 75, I'm happy.

It will be 90 degrees in your car or hotter.

So that's something that people really need to remember just because the outside temperature is lovely.

The inside temperature of a car is brutal.

I also noticed Lisa living down there that everybody had just a little bit of twang to their smell

all the

time.

Well, yeah, because you sweat all the time.

So it's not, you know, up here, people can smell fresh.

Maybe in a hot day, you get a little bit of that with no everybody down there had a little bit of something.

Jim's got working today.

Well, he

smells like

he's grill after I grilled first.

I did not think yeah, whatever.

Maybe a little

bit.

It's okay.

Just

making me hungry.

What

are you doing this weekend for the holiday, Lisa?

But

no Friday, Friday, I'm going to go.

Here in Oshkosh, they've got at Menominee Park.

They're doing the fireworks celebration and

on the fourth.

Yep.

On the fourth.

Yes.

If it rains, it'll move to Saturday.

Hey, Jim,

just give

me those.

I like the fourth.

I like the fourth.

Damn it.

But I'm going because of the food trucks.

Yeah.

Seriously, we're going to we're going to have about 20 food trucks in Oshkosh Ground Menominee Park.

on Friday.

So I'm going to go and I'm going to sample me some yummy food.

Nice.

You can tell.

I mean, look at me.

Well, you know,

correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like after nosh gosh, take food trucks a little more serious than around here.

I mean, so many times when Todd decided

when you tell us about what you did.

It's like, I went to so-and-so and Reggie's food truck was there

or

so-and-so's food truck was there.

That's like a big thing in Oshkosh and Appleton,

isn't it?

It's almost like showing up.

And Jim, you kind of talked about this, like having an ethnic area where you can try a little bit of this.

I mean, there's Indian food trucks.

There's Thai food trucks.

There's, you know, Haitian food trucks.

That's all it wants, right?

Yeah, and you can

still get the old Bratton burger if you want

to.

We had some politics with food truck rallies, maybe because we have more municipalities.

We just, I just remember,

struggling with the colony to do.

Those are great.

Is the

Tarleton trying to do that a little bit?

He is.

Okay.

He is.

But there was some municipal things going on.

And it's kind of like my music.

They just kind of got ahead of us.

We're all trying to catch up.

Oshkosh has done some things and we're trying to catch up.

Um, but yet we're the largest community and I don't

know, we don't

do more political truck rallies.

I mean, look at what Nashville does.

My God, I just get thousands.

I mean, you just bounce

from one to one

and

God bless the brick and mortars and how hard it is to struggle

with

nothing against them whatsoever.

But for festival type things like

that,

to be able to bounce from one to one

and we

don't have to sit and wait or whatever.

And some people have both.

Yeah,

exactly.

So yeah, it sounds

like fun.

Is it one

theme or is it just.

Oh, no, it's not one thing.

There are so many different.

I mean, there's there's the agro food truck.

There's Caribbean taste.

There's busted spuds.

There's, I believe the Indian food trucks going to be out there.

Polora Cafe is going to be out there.

I mean, so many food trucks.

Okay, we

were talking about this yesterday, though.

So for burgers, Jim and I both agreed that

hamburgers are you got to have cheese and it's got to be melted on there and you don't need a whole bunch of other things and I that's the only thing he and I agree on what about yourself how do you like your burgers

okay when it comes to a hamburger I like it medium rare

And I do like lettuce, tomato, and onion.

If it does not have onion, it is not a good hamburger to me.

I agree with you on that.

I'll take the onion on mine.

I do too.

Fried or raw.

Raw.

Raw.

Definitely raw.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I can take or leave cheese.

Oh, really?

Wow.

OK.

Sorry Lisa,

nice to know you.

I went to a, I just told these guys yesterday that I went to it, it was kind of a buffet where you kind of get your hamburger or the bun and you go down and they didn't have cheese and I just kind of set it aside.

I mean, cheese is great.

It's great.

But if it's if it's an American cheese slice, it's like, OK, fine.

But I mean, if it's

because I I've sent back hamburgers at fast food places

because

because they take that.

You know where it was bad at

the

burger king in is it Mischekot?

You know that one if the gas station is attached to the gas station or Maribel, one of those twice that happened to me.

I get my cheeseburger.

And I go out to the car.

I

want to see the manager.

And the cheese is cold.

Yeah.

And when you think of a Burger King attached to a gas station, you think that they would have better cheese choices than a cold slice of cheese, right?

Yeah.

Well, I drive a little

further

and find a better place.
