Welcome
to Morning So Peck.
Oh my goodness.
I'll take the blame on
is what happens when you haven't guest hosted the three hour version of the fantastic Morning So Peck Quite Low across the Civic Media Ready Network.
Guess what?
I ain't Peck Quite
week.
I'm Todd Allball, usually joining you from two to four across the media in the afternoon, but happy to fill in for Pat while he is away for the day.
And we're along with producer and engineer Parker Olson, who is taking the baton from Greg Bach, who is not going to be in the mornings, but he'll still be guest hosting Matt Nair on air and occasionally popping in here.
So, no, I just, I didn't.
Pat.
Pat's so big that they gave him three hours now.
He's larger than life.
He really is larger than life and the hair of Ted Baxter.
So I mean, it's, it's fantastic.
Uh, so I haven't, I haven't been on the show since it's, so I didn't know there was a brand new introduction.
me.
But we'll bring in the professionals, professionals.
She's always there when you need her.
She's got great information.
and she's just a lot of fun to be around.
It's our meteorologist, Ms.
Brittany Merleau.
Joining us, Brittany, help a couple of dudes out.
Good morning, Todd.
How are you?
You guys got this.
You're doing just fine.
I think the intro was perfect,
honestly.
For
me,
yes.
Yes, very, very,
very, very
nice of you.
Going to be some wacky and well, maybe not wild weather, but it's going to feel a little eerie out today.
Brittany, explain why.
Yeah, so it looks a little eerie, feels a little weird.
I mean, we've got little things changing.
So what has happened is we've got Northwest winds pulling in some wildfire smoke from Canada.
So an air quality advisory has definitely gone out.
That's gonna be an effect all day today.
It should expire by tomorrow morning.
Now, that's gonna create the haze in the sky.
It's gonna block some sunshine in spots.
It's causing people with, you know, sensitive, you know, health issues to not really feel so good.
I've got a headache from it, to be honest with you.
Yes, I do.
I had to Google it too.
I was like, is this a symptom?
It sure is.
It's causing like inflammation in the body and stuff like that.
So if you feel a little crummy today, it's probably from the wildfire smoke.
All right, well, let's go ahead.
Yeah, so I was going to say it's going to be gone tomorrow.
We have a cold front dropping through the state today.
It's going to be moving north to south and it's going to spark up a few scattered showers.
It's already doing so right now off of Lake Superior, kind of moving into the Rhinelander area.
And a lot of shower chances continue into the Fox Valley, lakeside of Lake Michigan.
And then we could see some rumbles of thunder early this evening.
Now we could see gusty winds, baby size hail with that, nothing too strong.
But that should help clear this wildfire smoke after it passes.
So highs today, getting nice and comfortable, kind of warm for some of us, mid to upper 70s, possibly some 80s far northwest.
We'll put that on repeat for tomorrow minus the wildfire smoke.
We'll put that on repeat for again for Sunday, maybe a few degrees warmer.
And then Monday, it gets really sticky and warm, almost hot and humid.
We could be hitting 90 degrees in some spots.
As Jim Plampett once said.
Well, doggies, that's gonna be a hot one.
All right, now, Brittany, timely indeed is the great sports reporter, Mike Lucas, as fond of saying, because here we have now three ill people, headaches, sinuses, allergies.
What we really need is a doctor, and just right on time, with a question of our own, our very own Dr. Kristin Lierly joining us via stream yard this morning, and she's gonna be here for the half hour.
Dr. Lierly, you said you had a question.
Hey everybody, I do have a question.
I have been feeling tired, Brittany.
I couldn't explain it.
I went to bed at like 10 o'clock last night and I woke up tired at seven.
When did wildfires start becoming a problem?
It seems like just a couple years ago we started seeing this haze and it was a huge problem.
Has this always been present or is this another consequence of climate change?
Oh, unfortunately, it is another consequence of climate change.
This has not been a problem.
I mean, for as long as we have lived, we haven't really seen this thick of wildfire smoke make its way through like a couple of years ago.
Right now in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, they've had evacuations that they have never seen in their lifetime.
So, yes, this is out of control.
There's 160 wildfires burning right now into Canada and half of them are not contained.
We've got three pretty big ones in Minnesota too.
And I was starting to think back to in the past.
I used to live up in Minnesota.
And it was the first time I was like, oh, there's wildfires in the United States.
And they had them on occasion, but very small scale.
There was only a couple that, you know, made records and stuff.
But now it's just on repeat, repeat, repeat with these above average temperatures, drier conditions, drought conditions.
You get one little lightning strike.
You toss one cigarette butt, one spark of an equipment.
And this can happen.
I mean, one of those massive ones in Canada was caused by a human.
Wow.
So
glad to hear it's only going to last a day or so this time.
And I guess thankful for the storms as long as they're not severe because that'll help move some of this smoke out.
And then time to break out the flip flops and the shorts.
Britney sounds like later on.
Yeah, it's actually the first day of summer in the meteorological world on Sunday, June
1st.
Meteorological summer.
All right, well, that's good to know.
So if you want to go by that, you can call it summer, starting on Sunday.
All right.
Seems like a reason to celebrate.
I agree.
100%.
Brittany Merleau, we appreciate you so very much.
Have a fan-dang-tastic weekend, and we'll talk to you with Pat on Monday.
Sounds good you too guys.
All right.
Thanks.
Take care pretty real low everybody And it is now 12 minutes past the hour of 8 o'clock and as we said she has her very own program now here on civic media on Saturdays She also happens to be a fantastic person a great friend and also a gynecologist the one the only dr. Christian Lierly how the heck are you
oh?
Todd I'm tired like I said to Brittany.
I just am so
Weary and usually I'm pretty peppy.
So you are it's you think about what's happening in the world, you know And it's the weather conditions.
It is the air we breathe.
It is the food we eat is the things that are happening in our lives It is our relationships.
I mean the conversation we had the other day about your liver
Before that I want to make sure I get that because I with all these schedule changes.
I'm lucky ask Luke matters is I'm this
I'm lucky to show up on time for my own show these days.
When is your show on Saturday?
When is the air now on Saturdays?
My show airs at 3 p.m.
on Saturdays and Sundays on WGBW and WISS up in Northeast Wisconsin.
So Green Bay, Appleton, Oshkosh.
And this week, we've got a banger of a show.
It's all about...
Medicaid.
Everybody's talking about Medicaid.
So
I've got two Medicaid advocates from the area, people who have been banging the drum.
These issues are affecting them personally and they have talked with their legislators or attempted to.
They've really tried to help people understand what this means.
It is going to be an informative show.
I think it's going to be a really helpful show for people who are wondering, what's the big deal with Medicaid?
You find out at three o'clock on Saturday.
And this is fantastic.
And the reason I asked is because, you know, I don't I live here in Madison.
And for people that might not live in the Green Bay area or Fox Valley, you can still listen live to the Dr. Lyley show.
Just download the civic media app to your Apple or Android device and scroll down to WGBW or W ISS.
And you can listen right there anywhere in the world to show it.
You can also catch it in podcast form at civicmedia.us as well.
Looking forward to that.
Are you brought
this up uh those people that might listen to our show in the afternoon on wednesday uh right before i went on the air i got some some news from my doctor and i thought this would be kind of funny because i if dr lyrely is available and so like five minutes before i go on the air i texted you and you were kind enough to pop on the air because i i've had kidney stones for a number of years i've
past two.
That ain't any fun.
I've still got a couple more and I was having a little pain and like, well, when you haven't done the MRI on the kidney stones as a couple of years, let's take a look and see how they're doing.
It turns out they're just hanging out and they're fine.
But they said they discovered that I have quote unquote a
Fatty liver and I thought that was kind of funny because I'm I'm I don't consider myself a heavy drinker and they say it's the kind that you this not caused by fatty liver So I thought this will be funny.
I'll have dr. Liarly come on and talk and she right before the on the on the air you said, you know Todd Do you really want to talk about this because this is kind of serious.
I'm like wait what?
But it led to a larger discussion with packed right low and trig v. Olson about men's health
And as dudes, we too often think, I'll be fine, I don't need to go to the doctor.
And talk to us a little bit about guys.
I know you're a gynecologist, but you're obviously an MD and you deal with a lot of patients.
Talk to us about why in particular it's important for guys to take care of ourselves.
It's important for all of us to take care of ourselves.
The problem with guys is that you tend not to go to the doctor as often as women do.
It's these kinds of illnesses like fatty liver disease, like your cholesterol, your blood pressure, diabetes.
These things creep up on you.
It's not like you wake up in the morning and you're like, I just don't feel good.
Maybe I have a touch of the diabetes.
I should go to urgent care.
This is why you have to go and get your blood drawn and have your blood pressure checked and do all of those routine things because they do sneak up on you and early intervention makes all the difference in the world.
Heart disease is the number one killer of both men and women.
It tends to strike men earlier.
And if we can cut it off earlier, treat blood pressure issues, keep your sugars in control.
And that doesn't mean you're going to go on medication.
Sometimes it's just changing your diet or getting.
some additional exercise, lifting weights, attending to your mental health.
Your mental health has a huge impact on your physical health.
So those little interventions can make a huge difference in your overall health and your wellbeing, how you live your life and how satisfied you are.
Yeah, absolutely.
Trigby is a couple of years older than me.
He's 57, just got his first colonoscopy and he's like, you know, it really wasn't a big deal.
You go in and get the IV and you wake up.
You don't remember anything.
thing.
Uh, so he did that.
The prep, the prep that gets
you.
Right.
Right.
The drinking of the, uh, all the, all the chalk or wherever they give you.
But, uh, I, I did, I took your advice, Dr. Lirely.
I reached out to my primary care physician.
I have an appointment with him.
We're going to follow up and talk to a nutritionist.
It appears now I have stage zero of fatty liver disease, which is nearly fully reversible if I just changed my diet.
So that's great.
Yeah.
So it means a Mediterranean diet, they tell me, which I'm now pitching to Luke Mathers.
The show is going to originate now from Italy.
Because you really can't get a proper Mediterranean diet unless you're in the Mediterranean.
You
know, one in four people have fatty liver disease.
It is
really pretty common.
And like you said, Todd, if you catch it in the early stages, it's reversible with simple things like a change in your diet.
We're not talking a total overhaul, just making some different choices.
When you're looking at, should I get this for lunch or should I get that for lunch?
Knowing which would be the better thing and also recognizing that because you're eating maybe chicken instead of a hamburger, you're not suffering.
It's okay.
They're
both going to
satisfy you and they both taste good.
I, this has been like 12 years ago.
I, back when I was making real money, I had a personal trainer and I went four times a week to personal trainer.
I lost 21 pounds.
I was down to 151.
Best ship in my life.
And then, you know, eventually, after about five, six years, I didn't do that anymore.
And now I'm back up to 178 or so.
So it's not like I'm hugely obese.
It's more, I think, what you're saying, that I'm sitting doing this show and I'm eating at weird times and then not eating well.
So it's a great reminder to all of us, guys, gals, whoever, just take care of ourselves.
We only got one us, everybody.
And there's only one Dr. Lirely.
She's going to come back, talk about her new bipartisan bill in the state legislature regarding breast cancer screens.
Talk about that with Dr. Lirely.

You're listening to Civic Media.

back to more names of packed quite low.
I'm title ball filling in across the civic media media network.
It is 22 now past the hour of eight o'clock.
A weather advisory.
Actually, it's a air quality advisory for the entire state of Wisconsin.
Smoke is in the air best because of Canadian wildfires.
So if you're a person with asthma or that sort of thing might want to stay inside or limit your time outside, Britney Merleau, our meteorologist says that will pass as thunderstorms move throughout and showers that move throughout the state.
throughout the day and then into this evening that are warming up for the weekend.
Pat is gone because he is going to, I didn't know he was into this.
He's out west in the mountains enjoying goat yoga.
the where you do yoga and little baby goats.
I can't wait to see the videos posted.
So I'm looking forward to that.
It should be a good time.
Head by all.
We are joined by Dr. Kristen Lyrely here on this portion of the show.
You can hear the Dr. Kristen Lyrely show on Civic Media in Green Bay and Oshkosh at three o'clock on Saturday or Sunday and Sunday, I should say, if you're not in those markets, you can listen to it on the Civic Media app via WGBW in Green.
Bay and WISS and Oshkosh, two of our great stations here at the Civic Media Ready Network.
Dr. Lierly, always a pleasure to be with you here.
Before we get into the serious matter, apparently you said you have a story.
Parker, young Parker here, a recent graduate of UW Whitewater.
You have a mascot story.
I do.
so when i was in college i was a mascot and they had mascot events where they would bring us all together so we all went to the skiing event and it's all these guys because you think that it's a guy in the costume and me and willy warhawk who was the only other
Woman mascot so
Willie and I the
two Wisconsin mascots these are mascots from all over the country Willie and I totally rocked that party.
We were like me Willie and Bucky Badger who is a dude we like we yeah
That's a great that I mean, nothing.
I mean, I was a tennis the last hour I at the Richland campus.
I was the Richland Center Roadrunner for a short time.
So not not the distinction of your level, but it's fun.
You just goof around.
It's so fun because nobody knows who you are when you're
in the
costume, so you can do whatever you want.
Exactly.
Harass people nicely, but whatever.
Sign a lot of bald heads.
Do silly things
Absolutely right.
Uh, actually early we we always appreciate stuff and buy because you can give us some insight on some of these legislative things happening and too often we talk in partisan terms
It's always nice to hear something happening in a bipartisan manner here in Madison.
Great story in the Capitol Times this week by Aaron McGrady.
And it has to do with a new bill talking about breast cancer screenings in Madison.
It says a bipartisan group of state lawmakers is trying for the third session in a row to pass a bill that would eliminate co-pays and cost-sharing expenses for breast cancer screening and supplemental scans needed for women with an
increased risk of breast cancer.
You've talked before, but again, this is really, really important for women.
And now perhaps we might see some light to make it more accessible.
Well, men get breast cancer too.
Don't forget about that.
But here's the thing that makes me sad about this.
Why are we having to legislate this?
This is fundamental health care that people need.
And here's the problem.
When we were able to get Obamacare across the line, we were able to ensure that people could get breast cancer screening, routine screening.
Everybody would be able to get it at no cost because you got to remove the barriers if you're going to make sure that people can get
the basic fundamental screening.
But if we saw something on that mammogram, all of the follow-up screens and tests would cost something.
So what I saw in my practice, 40% of women have dense breasts.
So what I saw in my practice is people would come back with dense breasts and there would be a spot there that was, we didn't really know, they needed further imaging and
they couldn't afford to pay for it.
So they would wait.
And I have had patients who waited because they couldn't afford additional screening and ended up with breast cancer as a result.
this bill would solve that problem.
As you said, Todd, this is not a partisan issue.
This is a health issue.
When someone in your family develops cancer, a preventable cancer that we knew was a potential, that is a failure of society.
So I love this bill.
It is a Republican introduced and supported bill.
I am on board.
Let's get this across the line for the women and the families of Wisconsin.
I couldn't agree more, and I hope people take time to call their personal state assembly person and senator as a former legislative staffer.
That really is the best way to lobby.
When you call other senators and representatives, it just doesn't hold weight a lot of times.
Call yours and say, look, as Dr. Lirely said, this isn't a luxury item.
This is needed.
And quite frankly, I think it should be, it's all right, don't you?
I do too, healthcare is a human right, in my opinion.
And you know, one in eight women in this country get breast cancer.
This is not uncommon.
Odds are you know someone who's been affected by this.
So when you call your legislator, share that story.
If you have a personal story, share your story.
Your story is convincing.
It is the most powerful thing you have and stories change lives, change legislators minds and help pass bills like
this.
more.
Just over a minute or so left here.
Once again, let's preview your show code up on Saturday and Sunday at three o'clock and on the Civic Media app as
well.
Thanks.
It's going to be so good.
We're talking with some Medicaid advocates about why Medicaid is important.
Of course, Medicaid is in danger right now with the big brutal bill that's being tossed around right now.
Federally, we need to preserve Medicaid.
This is for some of the most vulnerable people here in our state across the country, and it is not just health care.
It's all of these other services that people require in order to stay in the workforce, to stay with their families, and to live healthy, productive lives.
Yeah, I think that's I love your fact you're doing this because we hear about this news of Washington DC and it seems kind of far away But when you dig into it like you're gonna this weekend it has real effects on us across Wisconsin
in so many different ways I mean I tell a story of Jordan Anderson Jordan might be listening right now Jordan is a man who is in a wheelchair He needs plenty of help to get to work, but he works every day and he advocates in his free time folks like Jordan That's why we do this.
Thanks.
Dr. Lylee back after this
Welcome back to Mornings with Pat Tritlow.
I'm Todd Alval filling in for Pat.
He'll be back on Monday along with Parker here at the Civic Media World Headquarters in downtown Madison.
Glad to have you along with us across the Civic Media Ready Network.
35 minutes now past the hour of eight o'clock on this TGIF Friday, May 30th, 2025.
Make sure you wear them.
Probably people saw masks lying around.
You might actually want to pull it out and use it if you're a person with asthma or that sort of thing.
We have a air quality watch throughout the entire state of Wisconsin.
Wildfires in Canada means smoke across the state today.
That'll be pushed out later by showers and thunderstorms as it moves from north to south, according to Bert Emerlowe.
And it'll bring us some rain, maybe some garden variety type of thunderstorms, but nothing on the severe side looks like right now.
61 degrees and superior 52 in Green Bay 54 in Eau Claire 55.
It looks like now in Wausau 54 in La Crosse.
Still it says only is that right?
It says only 48 degrees yet in the old hometown of Richland.
So now I see I've refreshed it.
It's up to 55.
Can't be.
Refresh your screen time.
Let's start over.
Superior 63.
To Eau Claire now at 63, Green Bay at 59, Richland Center at 55, 57 in La Crosse, 57 as well in Milwaukee, already up to 59 in Wasaw.
And Greg Bach, as he always does, has heated things up in Racine at 63.
63 right now.

A couple of headlines for you nationally at this hour, 39 now past the hour of eight o'clock.
As we said, the Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan have declared states for emergency due to a series of wildfires.
The blazes, which began on Monday in Saskatchewan, have rapidly expanded in size, prompting the evacuation of more than 18,000 people.
Israel has accepted a new ceasefire proposal with Hamas.
from U.S.
Envoy Steve Wyckoff, which includes the release of 10 living hostages and 18 deceased hostages as well as a 60-day truce.
A federal appeals court yesterday paused the court of international trade ruling that President Donald Trump did not have the authority to impose sweeping tariffs using the emergency powers he declared earlier this year.
The ruling by the U.S.
Court of Appeals
for the federal court means Trump can continue to impose tariffs using emergency powers and adds to the confusion and uncertainty about the future of his economic plan.
From the world of the wild and wacky, and I would say pretty disturbing, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem
posted on X or Twitter or Twix as Craig Ferguson dubbed it this week, that an undocumented migrant from Mexico had been arrested for allegedly sending a letter threatening to kill President Trump.
She also included a picture of the man and a copy of the letter.
But here's the star asterisk caveat.
Investigators now believe the migrant was set up
According to several sources, law enforcement believes that Ramon Morales Reyes, 54, did not write the letter, which was sent to an immigration and customs enforcement office and other agencies.
Instead, investigators suspect, a person who is currently awaiting trial in a robbery and assault case in which Reyes was the victim, wrote the letter in an attempt to have him deported.
Federal officials who asked for a handwriting sample from Reyes also determined that his handwriting and the threatening letter did not match.
I mean, that is just, in my opinion, beyond irresponsible.
And for the Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, to put this out on ex-social media to hype this up, Fox News, of course, was all over it.
And the guy appears to be 100% innocent.
In fact, he was the victim of a crime and was set up.
Again, a lot of shows on this network have talked about it.
We've talked about it on ours.
It seems to be the cruelty is the point here.
And again, in my opinion, it just goes to show
We can believe little if anything that comes out of the Trump administration because it's not focused on genuine policy.
It's focused on a political agenda, whether it's right or wrong.
Remember JD Vance, when he was running for vice president, the whole they're eating the dogs and the cats, the Haitian migrant thing that was all made up.
He admitted in an interview, you know, hey, if we have to exaggerate or make things up to when we will, they admitted it.
on record.
So I don't know.
That's that's some of the beyond believable stories.
Closer to home, according to with politics.com, our friends over there.
This is this is another headline that I don't quite get.
The Trump administration has listed deep red Sean O county.
alongside Dane County, Madison, and Milwaukee as the Wisconsin communities refusing to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
The release late yesterday included no information on why the communities were listed and attempts to reach shuttle county were unsuccessful.
More than 67% of county voters in November backed Trump
and the county board in 2021 approved a resolution declaring that northeast wisconsin's community a second amendment sanctuary county so not only did they not say they were a sanctuary city they said there were a second amendment sanctuary county meaning the i i don't know what the i guess carry whatever you want i don't know the administration's argument included a note that the list will be updated regularly and cautioned quote
No one should act on this information without conducting their own evaluation of the information.
What?
So the administration basically, it's kind of like Robert F. Kennedy, right?
Uh, you know, why, I mean, people will really shouldn't listen to me about healthcare.
Don't don't act on this information without conducting your own investigation of the information.
Trump signed an executive order requiring the creation of a list identifying states and local jurisdictions that obstruct federal immigration laws, Department of Homeland Security, some criteria for inclusion of the list, included factors such as, quote, compliance with federal law enforcement, information restrictions, and legal protections for illegal aliens, unquote.
The jurisdictions will now receive formal notification of non-compliance.
I know shuttle county pretty well.
My dad and stepmom have lived there for 40 years or so.
I spent a lot of time up there.
It is a very red state.
The sheriff up there is a Republican.
I mean, this is baffling to me.
But again, I think it's a great reminder to folks that if you think that you're going to be excluded from Trump's ire, think again.
eventually it will come to you.
So I won't talk more about this on our show this afternoon, but, uh, wow, baffling to say the least.
46 minutes now past the hour of eight o'clock here on mornings of Pat Cretlow Pat is back on Monday.
I made a joke earlier about Pat's going to do some goat yoga in the mountains.
Not true as it turns out.
It could be.
He's out, he's out, uh, out of town visiting his, uh, his oldest god, or god, grandchild, who has graduated high school.
Yeah.
I had my youngest niece's, uh, graduation.
Isabelle at Eau Claire Memorial last year.
year.
Last week.
It
if you Parker this is why they give me an afternoon show Because
to
Todd is
awake and ready to do a show by two o'clock.
Oh Good heaven.
He's a night guy.
So Yeah, it's that time of year.
So so congratulations to Pat's grandson and Hope all goes well Pat will be back on on Monday a couple minutes here Parker before the break We'll start this and then we'll pick it up on the other side
This is kind of your first real day solo because Greg Baca is no longer going to produce this show.
He'll continue to host Matt, co-host Matt Nair and Jane McNair, and it will occasionally pop into the show.
So let's do a little quick addition before the break.
Let's get to know Parker.
Oh
Where are you from, Parker?
Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I'm from Madison, Wisconsin, went to Lafowette High School, graduated 2021.
Okay.
That feels longer than I would have thought.
Went to UW-Whitewater Study Journalism, broadcast web and print.
It was the emphasis there, electronic media.
Yeah, that's kind of the academic stuff.
I don't know, I played tennis in high school.
That's what the shirt is.
Played tennis, sounds very good.
Yeah, I was on varsity as a freshman, that was decent.
Really?
Yeah.
Wow,
that.
You should, you should.
I am a...
I'm a worse tennis player than I am a golfer and I'm not a good golfer.
I'm a decent golfer.
Are you really?
Let's hit the course sometime.
All right.
good.
We'll, uh, we'll do a live report of Parker taking on Todd.
Probably kicked my posterior, but that's okay.
All right.
Come on back.
We'll talk more with Parker and, uh, wrap things up here for a Friday.
You're listening to warnings of packed quite low with Todd Alba across Wisconsin on the civic media radio network.

Great to have you along Parker.
Today would be a great day to be on Lake Wissota where this program originally originates from.
It's beautiful.
After the show, we did our show up there last week.
And Pat was still kind of to bring me out a brandy old fashioned suite at the end of the show.
And then we went over to his local haunt, the Mallard.
The Mallard.
The Mallard.
It's a little little bar restaurant

So I hung out with some of the locals there.
Nice.
That's one of the great things about Wisconsin, the little local places all and the lakes.
Are you a lake guy in the summer?
Get out.
Yeah.
Do you deal out like water or just have the opportunity?
Um, both can be true.
Really don't like water.

We love boat hat.
Uh, so yeah, he's a, he's the true captain of a ship.
Well, Pat went back on, uh, on, uh, on Monday.
Uh, temperatures across the state of Wisconsin are going to be in the seventies today.
If you think you look out the window and you said, we got smaller, fallier.
No, no, no.
It's just smoke.
It's smoke because your neighbors lighten up a bowl.
No, not really.
It's because there's wildfires.
There is legit wildfires in Canada.
And we have an air quality advisory for the entire state of Wisconsin today.
Be aware of that if you're a person with asthma or things like that.
You might want to stay inside or at least limit your outdoor activities.
Our meteorologist, Britt Emerlowe says that will be short lived though.
Thank goodness as showers and garden style thunderstorms move from north.
to south across Wisconsin, which will bring us some rain, but also kind of clear up the skies.
Looks like a warmer temperatures over the weekend.
And then by Monday, downright sultry going to be eighties, maybe 90 and human sticky.
Are you a
All right.
Well, it'll be a little warmer than that.
all
So there you go.
That's what we got for you today.
Craig Ferguson, the longtime host of The Late Late Show, he would get to the end of the show sometimes, have a couple of minutes to kill like we do here.
And so he would ask his robotic...
co-host that was a co-host sidekick he had a robot sidekick named Jeff and He was a Jeff.
What have we learned today?
So Parker, what have we learned today?
if you missed it earlier in the in the show according to the New York Times today They're reporting that apparently Elon Musk was doing some fairly hard drugs not not gummies, but beyond that
