You're listening to Mornings with Pat Craiglow powered by Up North News.
Now, from our Lake Wissota studio, here is the founding editor of Up North News, Pat Craiglow.
Well, hey there, Wisconsin.
Good morning.
It is 6.06 on this Friday morning, August 22nd.
Another beautiful morning to have you here up north.
Live from Lake Wissota for more every year spending your mornings listening across the Civic Media Radio Network.
catching us on YouTube or Facebook by the app by podcast.
Thanks for starting your day and wrapping up your work week right here.
I got a question for you.
And it's all about the outrage over cracker barrel changing their logo.
And here's my question about the outrage.
Really, really, this is what we're this is what we're choosing to be upset about today is cracker barrel.
changing their logo and the white man is not on the logo anymore.
It's too woke.
I don't have time for this.
But as always, I appreciate any other distraction from, you know, prices still not going down, war still going on in Ukraine and all that.
So give it your best shot.
But the Cracker Barrel logo, not gonna work for a distraction today.
Thanks for playing.
On this Friday, it's Free Ticket Friday.
So we're going to be giving away Milwaukee Brewer's tickets to a game next week.
So stick around in the next, well, fewer than 15 minutes, I'll give you today's keyword to text in using the Civic Media app and give you a chance to win some great Brewer's tickets, which are not that easy to get anymore, given how well the team has been doing, including yesterday at Wrigley Field.
We'll talk about that in just a sec.
We'll also get into how a court commissioner in Walworth County is out of a job for insisting that due process be followed in immigration matters.
You know, like no differently than in criminal matters.
Because without the ability for a judge or a commissioner to review a warrant, what's to stop some big government entity from expanding its efforts to basically kidnap people off the streets who don't fit their racial profile?
We'll also talk to Joseph Pecky this hour about the map warfare going on in Texas and California and what it means for democracy in 2025 in America.
We're going to talk to our weekend review panel in our second hour of course.
That includes Mark Jacob talking about his new column reminding us that there are still Americans willing to stand up for American values.
He refers to them as heroes of the resistance.
They come from areas not just like politics, but law and media and education and faith.
And so he talks about people who are leading the way on defending this republic and how you can help.
We'll talk to a physician from Tomah, Dr. Jill McMullen.
She was the one recently featured in a video series by Pete Buttigieg about the impact of the republican Medicaid cuts to rural health care in Wisconsin and nationwide.
And we'll talk to Mike Clemens.
He'll have an update from Packers Training Camp and review how the Brewers emerged from the Wrigley Field gauntlet still in firm control of the National League Central Division.
Brittany Merlot State Forecast for us tells us, let's see, a crisp and much cooler and windy weekend lies ahead.
But first, a cold front needs to pass by, and I can testify to that.
It's definitely a little crisper around here.
Let's see.
It's 64 degrees right here in Chippewa Falls right now.
More clouds today, Brittany says.
Showers or thunderstorms work their way across the state, especially north.
Highs today will be in the mid-70s to low 80s, a west wind at 10 to 15 miles an hour, rain ending this evening and decreasing cloudiness.
Lowe's will be in the mid fifties up north, low sixties in the south and a west wind at five to 10 miles an hour.
And we'll get the full forecast for the rest of the weekend coming up in our next hour from Brittany Merleau.
But first, let's head over to Madison Studio A2 at the top of State Street, just off the state Capitol Square, where we find Parker Olson getting set to produce the show and head into the weekend.
Mr. Olson, how are you?
I'm doing pretty good, Pat.
I will say, though, I
I've got a rent, it's a rental car right now.
You have a rental car.
Because car had some hail damage, whatever, that's getting fixed.
I hate everything about this car.
About the rental car?
About the
rental car.
There is legitimately not one thing that I like about this rental car.
I hate the way it drives.
I hate the way it feels.
I don't even like the freaking seats.
Is this a thing about the car, the brand and everything, or the fact that it's a rental and how it's been used and taken care of over time?
Oh no,
it's a nice car.
It is the car itself.
It's not the fact it's a rental.
It's 100% just this car.
It's not to my liking, not to my standards, but...
Your standards?
You're 22 years old.
Yeah, whatever.
I think this is
true.
But the worst if you can't meet your standards.
I mean, look, I drove a 73 Plymouth Fury when I was your age, young man.
So anyway, please continue.
Tell me about which luxury accessories aren't working for you.
No, no, no.
My least favorite thing about it
is
it
has
an Illinois license plate.
It has an Illinois license plate.
I look like a kid.
That's tragic.
I mean, honestly, they should not get at least 50% off the price.
That's what I thought.
I mean, why would you do that?
I mean, it's a sick joke.
It is.
There should be.
some kind of a tax or a refund for having an Illinois plate in Wisconsin.
And I have a feeling they might feel the same south of the border.
That's probably so it's a it's a little bit more work for the rental agencies, but it's worth it to avoid having that problem.
You know, and frankly, in a lot of other states, and we use our fair share of rental cars when we visit our daughters and things like that.
And you want a plate from in that state so that it doesn't scream, you know, tourist or something like that.
You know, you want to, you want to feel like a local.
You don't want to be driving around Idaho, you know, with a Texas license plate or something like that.
So I totally get it.
But that's okay.
So that's, that's one thing.
And Alicia puts up on YouTube.
Totally fair, Greg Parker.
So there you go.
That's that's fair.
But what else?
There must be something else about it.
The handling, it just doesn't feel good.
And this is in part just because I don't, I'm not used to the car, but like literally, like, you know, the windshield wiper, like arm or whatever you want to call it, the turn signal arm thing, all that stuff just feels wrong.
It doesn't feel good to me.
I can't see the, and also this is probably a fixable thing.
I just have not put the time into figuring it out.
Where to,
where to put the,
steering wheel because
I can't wear to put the steering.
Yes.
I think it's on the driver's side.
But no, I can't.
It's in the seat, man.
I can't see above like 20 miles an hour on this pedometer because of where the wheel is.
And
there's no good placement for the wheel that lets you see all the important stuff on the dash and not that I still handle it.
Not that
I
found.
So I go like this.
I'm just like
ducking my head
over like a little old man.
Yeah looking over the steering wheel Okay, well, I guess I get that I do I do I'm trying not to go too old man on you going in my day We are lucky to have a steering wheel, you know You leaned Yeah, you lean to turn exactly so you know what here's here's where you're not gonna take it then as I'm
peeking over at today's Up North News daily newsletter.
The snap on Milwaukee mile to 50 weekend brings Indy car racing to Milwaukee's state fair park on Saturday and Sunday.
So I guess you won't be taking this to the Milwaukee mile.
I will race in
it.
I
would really, I would really like to though.
I would really like to see Indy car.
That'd be really cool.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, come on.
It's India.
Yes.
I'm not like a big racing guy, but my brother
Um, works for a company who had like a sponsorship of one of the cars that was driving at road America last summer and
we
went and it was so cool.
I have, uh, I'm interested in raising now
a
little
and look, I'm not big on the difference between like Indy car versus formula one, but all those like open wheel types.
You, you, you like that kind of racing?
Yeah.
From time to I have not like.
put the dedication into actually watching it very much.
But if it's on, I will sit down and watch it.
Yeah.
I don't quite know the differences either.
Indy cars are huge, though, from what I understand.
Oh, well, they may be huge, but I mean, not for the driver, but you've got to, you know, you've got to control the car and it's got that little bitty steering wheel on it and, you know, you would.
You know, Luke is asking, Luke Mathers is asking on the text line, does Parker need to boost your seat?
Um, I think first off, no, it's too high.
That's cruel, Luke.
Oh, it's too high.
Yeah, I need to be lower.
Okay.
Uh, but again, you know, every car is a little different and maybe you just need to make some adjustments.
Maybe, maybe you'll find how long do you have to have this car?
How long are they going to work on the hail damage?
Um, I think it's supposed to be like.
four, five days, I think business days all Monday, I might also and maybe Tuesday.
I'm not positive yet.
Okay, we shall
see.
I don't think I'll be driving this weekend.
I think I'm going with my folks down to Jamesville on Saturday.
Okay, sounds good.
Did you catch any of the Brewer's Cubs game yesterday afternoon?
Not as much as I would have liked to have for reasons of work and nap.
That
whole work thing, so gets in the way.
And the
sleep always cuts in the way of everything.
Yep.
Well, the brewers did emerge finally from the gauntlet at Wrigley Field.
They won the opener on Monday.
They then lost three games to the Cubs in the middle of the series, but they won yesterday's matinee four to one.
Bryce Durang's two run homer in the second inning was the difference maker.
But let's talk for a moment about the brewers starting pitcher Quinn Priester.
Anytime he's taken the mound since mid-May, the Brewers have won.
That's 15 games.
And then overall, overall the games he's pitched in, he just notched his 10th victory in a row.
This makes the Brewers the first team in baseball to 80 wins.
They are 80 and 48, a ridiculous 32 games above 500.
And despite losing three of the five games in Chicago, they still lead the Cubbies in the National League Central Division by seven games, a seven game lead over the Cubbies.
So what's next?
The Brewers now, they've left Wrigley Field, they're back at American Family Field, and they will be playing the San Francisco Giants this weekend, starting this evening.
Coverage begins at 635 on several civic media stations for games this weekend, three games Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and then starting Monday, a four game series with the Arizona D-becks, which leads me to Free Ticket Friday because it's here.
We've made it to the end of the work week and this is your reward for it, for having to endure what the Brewers have gone through at Wrigley.
How about if we get you tickets to a Brewers game next week when they take on Arizona?
So let's do that.
With Free Ticket Friday, it means you take that Civic Media app that I hope you've all got on your phones.
I hope you can get tickets delivered to you electronically and then that you can use them at American Family Field because I've got four great seats to give away to the Brewers game.
next Thursday afternoon versus Arizona.
That's a one 10 start next Thursday, August 28.
If you can use those tickets, and you want to be part of the contest, here is the keyword from now until 9am.
For this show only, the keyword is bat, B-A-T like a baseball bat.
bats, B-A-T bats.
Text that to us by 9am and then there will be more keywords throughout the day, more chances for you to enter and win and then one drawing will be pulled statewide and they will get four tickets to see the game versus Arizona next Thursday as part of Free Ticket Friday.
Well, I have headlines and more coming up in just a bit.
First, from the heart of America's Up North, live from Lake Wissota.
Thanks for making this the place to spend a part of your mornings.
I'm Pat Critello.
This is the Civic Media Radio Network.
You're listening to Civic Media.

So we were talking just a second about the Milwaukee Mile and the race going on there because that's what I saw in today's edition of the newsletter that we put out at UpNorth News.
I put it out during the week and then I do a Sunday morning one about Wisconsin political news.
Again, you can sign up at UpNorthNewsWI.com where there is also a story about Great Lakes shipwrecks.
and some of the stories behind about a half a dozen of the shipwrecks around Wisconsin.
I mean, there are hundreds of shipwrecks in the Great Lakes and some of them have very interesting stories and you can learn more about it in today's newsletter.
Again, sign up at UpNorthNewsWI.com.
There's also a story in there that I'm going to talk about here in just a little bit.
It's about the Walworth County court commissioner who has resigned
after clashing with immigration authorities in the courtroom, details on that on the way, and just a bit.
But first, Cracker Barrel.
Again, I've already said it's a stupid attempt added of MAGA distraction, the outrage.
But in case you're not aware of it, let's explain why, as one headline says, MAGA loses it over new Cracker Barrel logo.
And I have to admit, Parker, this was one of those stories where I saw a couple of either tweets or headlines.
I saw a couple of tweets or headlines in there.
And I was like, I'm not going to click on this.
I do not want to know more about this.
And finally, there was there was enough about it that I couldn't resist.
I had to see what what's the outrage about the Cracker Barrel logo.
Did you see it at all yesterday?
Are you hearing about it for the first time this morning?
I have seen the logo and I have seen that people were upset about it.
I only thought people were upset about it because it's a downgrade as far as logos go.
I guess it is, yes.
Okay, so for folks who need a refresher, for Cracker Barrel restaurants with the little country store attached to it, there's Cracker Barrel, these brown letters on an orange kind of an oval, but then off to the left,
is an old man in a wooden chair with his elbow on a barrel, a cracker barrel.
Makes perfect sense.
No big deal.
But logos come and go all the time.
Companies rebrand all the time.
We've changed our logo a couple of times with Up North News.
It's part of the process.
Summer hits, summer misses.
And summer just meh.
And this one's meh.
It's now instead of cracker barrel on this orange kind of pumpkin shaped oval.
It's now in something more like a what we call this not quite a hexagon, but like a rectangle with a little some little points at the top and the bottom.
Still the brown letters on the orange background.
No barrel.
No wooden chair.
No old white man.
I have
a sound effect for that.
Wait, wait, wait.
And I mean, suddenly it was attacked as being woke.
It's a woke logo.
It might have been in part because one of the graphic designers has worked on DEI initiatives and LGBTQ matters.
And so of course, that had to be what this is too.
Although, as others noted, quote, people can't afford housing, groceries, they go on bankrupt if they get cancer.
So naturally, conservatives are mad about Cracker Barrel's logo.
Because it's like, you know, Bud Light and a million other things before that we've got to be outraged at a brand.
That
Donald Trump Jr.
was was a big part of it.
Oh, and here's something else there.
Now they're mad, not just about the logo, but something else at Cracker Barrel.
Have you?
Have
you?
I've never been, but I have not heard exactly skating reviews.
OK, on every table at Cracker Barrel is something that used to see more often in the days before video games.
This was a game you actually played with pieces.
It's a triangular piece of wood with holes drilled in it and and golf tees.
Oh,
okay.
And then you're supposed to move the golf tees from hole to hole in the way that as you jump over one tee, you take it off the board, jump over another tee, take that one off the board.
And you're trying to get it so that there's only one tee left on the board.
Yeah.
And it's not easy.
No, if you don't play it with any regularity.
Well, apparently, they have changed what's written on the little block of wood when, you know, in terms of the directions.
And it used to say that if you left one, if you were left with one peg on the board, you're a genius.
Two pegs means pretty smart.
If you leave three pegs, you're considered dumb.
And leaving four pegs makes you an ignoramus.
So a little bit of, you know, name calling and why not?
What
the
hell?
Why not insult your customers?
Okay.
So they've decided to go with something else.
And it says, if you leave three or more, no reason to be embarrassed, just try again.
Okay,
which again, for for mega world, where everybody has to be horse whipped for doing anything wrong, because anything other than that means it's a participation trophy, and therefore it's bad.
They lost their minds about a peg game.
and how you're rated, and like one conservative put up, Cracker Barrel didn't just destroy its logo and restaurant vibe, it also changed the peg game to make dumb people feel better when they do poorly.
I'd like to thank Sean Davis for really getting to the crux of
What the hell is wrong with MAGA?
And that is that, you know, they're dumb people.
They're dumb if you can't solve this game.
And so you deserve to be belittled.
Again, for them, anything but that is, you know, Namby, Pamby, mommy, state, you know, liberalism, whatever.
It's actually just a reason for mockery that, you know, people behave more decently than they used to.
Call me
crazy.
But you know, decent, decent behavior is not a bad thing.
And they didn't get rid of the white guy.
They got rid of the old guy.
They cleaned up the logo a bit.
And just like all other branding, it's done so that they can bring them back later on.
That's how
they do these things.
They go, oh, we're getting rid of this.
Hey, we're bringing this back.
It's marketing kids.
Take a breath.
We'll revisit our conversation yesterday with Joseph Pecky coming up after the Midwest Farm Report.
I'm Pat Krightlow on the Civic Media Radio Network.
Joe Specky with us now.
Let's talk a bit about this Trump attack on mail-in voting.
And very quickly, a bipartisan group with several Wisconsin names on it was critical of it.
Tell me about your admiration at the speed with which this bipartisan group came to the defense of mail-in balloting.
Yeah, these pro-democracy groups are ready to go.
They know that Donald Trump and his administration are a threat to the regular order when it comes to how we conduct our elections, how people exercise that most fundamental right in a free democracy, which we still have for the most part.
And I just, I applaud especially Republicans.
I don't care if they're never Trump Republicans.
I don't care if they're moderate Republicans.
any Republican worth their salt knows that what Donald Trump said about the conduct of our elections this week is baloney.
The states run elections.
They are not agents of the federal government and real conservatives.
Every conservative ought to be able to stand up and say, hey, this is nuts.
This is not how this works.
And so to those who have been willing to stand up and say,
Sorry, sir.
We got this.
We know how to run elections.
My hat is off to them.
I appreciate it It's the hardest thing to do in politics these days is for anyone left or right to sort of challenge orthodoxy on their own side And we should just call it out lift it up and applaud it when it happens So I appreciate those Republicans who were willing to say we got to protect the right to vote by mail for everybody
And and and he noted correctly that
No, I'm sorry.
Let me back up.
And it was noted that Trump was incorrect in his allegation that the US is the only country in the world that uses mail-in voting.
That's nowhere near true.
And again, it was both Republicans as well as Democrats who corrected him on that.
And I think the thing that makes it look even worse for the president is that he said it in the wake of, you know, Vladimir Putin, you know, saying that
He thinks that mail-in voting leads to rigged elections.
Parody in a Putin talking point is still not looked upon kindly in most of the United States of America as much as Donald Trump might wish otherwise.
It's nuts, but the book on Trump is clear.
He can be won over very easily by flattery and by telling him what he wants to hear.
That, you know, the reality is that for another three and a half years or so, we're going to have an American president who's a cheap date and is susceptible to flattery.
Wish that wasn't the case, but here we are.
Exactly same.
Well the Texas Democrats returned back to the legislature and Republicans were able to push through new gerrymandered maps.
You have California's governor now bringing that up to a vote of the people to kind of follow serve with California's congressional maps and you have former president Obama endorsing that calling it the responsible approach given the era that we live in.
My question for you Joe is was the
decision by Texas Democrats to leave.
Was that any kind of a tactical loss or was it a win by calling national attention to this corrupt cartography?
An absolute win.
It has raised the profile of this issue.
People understand that this is now a extreme emergency moment for our democracy.
And I think it's way more likely that the California gambit
works out because of this.
And so they did it right.
They didn't run away for months and months at a time.
I think they ended up gone 10 days, two weeks, which drew a lot of eyeballs and attention.
And that is the hardest thing to get right now in our information environment is attention.
So good on Texas Democrats, boo on Texas Republicans.
and yay for Gavin Newsom and California Democrats who are saying, we're not just going to take this.
We're going to fight back.
And I think the way that the California measure is structured is exactly right, which it is not doing away.
with the independent commission for redistricting is saying this is a temporary measure to match what texas is doing for just the next couple of election cycles and once there's a census in 2030 it will go right back to the independent redistricting commission which is how this should work we we cannot live in a society where
politicians only choose their voters, and voters don't really get a choice in who their politicians are.
That's not how this works.
And so this is messy.
This is disgusting.
This is gross.
But Democrats have to fight back.
And in this case, they are.
Yeah.
And then finally, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders coming to Wisconsin to campaign for Becca Cook.
Does that help burnisher bona fides with the people who think that she might be too moderate being endorsed by the blue dogs and everything else?
Does it help her in that sense?
Or does it create more confusion with a primary that already has three candidates in it?
What do you think of Bernie Sanders coming to campaign for Becca Cook?
I think it's great for Becca Cook and it clarifies the choice for Democrats.
I also think it's worth noting how broad the coalition that Becca Cook has put together is because you got Bernie Sanders coming to campaign.
I was listening to leader Hakeem Jeffries.
I don't think anybody would accuse Mr. Jeffries of being sort of in the same lane of the Democratic Party as Bernie Sanders.
And on a podcast with a national host this week, when asked about the fight for the house, Becca Cook and Wisconsin's third district was the first
District that he brought up and talked about and so I think that ability to sort of appeal across the Democratic Party bodes very well for Becca in the in the primary next August and in the general election next fall
There was a little bit from our conversation with Joe's pecky yesterday key of the keel is on vacation this week and next week So we'll check in with him again back after Labor Day still feels weird weird to hear Labor Day weekend is is one weekend from right now
Story in the Milwaukee Journal this morning from John Dietrich, the reporter there, the headline says, Walworth County Court Commissioner says he was forced out after questioning an ICE warrant.
The story says that he was, let's get the he right, Peter Navas.
He's been the county's circuit court commissioner for the past four years.
and said he was told he could voluntarily leave or be fired over a July 15th incident in his courtroom when he asked to see an immigration arrest warrant from a sheriff's deputy trying to take a man into custody.
Can you imagine the horror that a court commissioner or a judge would actually want to see the immigration arrest warrant?
But the judges there did not back him up on it.
and instead gave him the choice to quit or be fired.
It is the latest in a flare-up around the country between court officials and the Trump administration trying to round up undocumented immigrants.
There's a lack of universal rules on how to deal with immigration arrests in courtrooms because while it sounds like shooting fish in a barrel for the immigration authorities, it's also a danger to public safety.
if people will not show up in court for their court dates or to testify in an important court case for fear that they're going to be arrested.
And the criminal case, the actual criminal case, has to take a lower profile, a lower priority in this case.
Now, three of the county's judges told Navus that he had misstated their position
about whether immigration warrants had to be shown before an arrest could be made in court.
Now, in case you're wondering, the difference between a court commissioner and a judge, a court commissioner has some of the similar functions of a judge in some of the more routine matters.
So they can accept pleas, they can hold preliminary hearings in the early stages of a case, but they are not the presiding judge overall.
but regardless, what happened in the incident was that he objected to deputies taking a man into custody in his court without showing a warrant.
It had been an otherwise routine day, according to the journal Sentinel story, when a deputy told Davis that someone was going to be arrested on an immigration warrant.
Deputies often make arrests in traffic, Court Davis said, but usually on behalf of other counties that have criminal charges filed against somebody.
This one was for ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
And again, as a reminder, crossing the border undocumented is basically a misdemeanor.
Now, do undocumented immigrants commit crimes?
Of course they do.
So do citizens, left and right.
And it's those actual crimes that should be a higher priority.
But not if you've got a race-based presidency that wants to decimate the American workforce of hardworking people who are trying to make a better life and be safe.
Anyway, Neva said he called one of the judges for guidance, and that judge described how she would handle the matter, but that he should handle the matter as he saw fit.
Neva said he asked the deputies about the arrest plan and to see the warrant
deputies refused on both counts.
Now that boys and girls, that is a big, big problem.
When deputies or other law enforcement officers will not show their warrant to officers of the court, like judges and court commissioners, that's a big problem in a democracy.
That puts us that much closer to state sanctioned secret police and arrests right off the street.
a paper's please, Nazi-esque law enforcement system that we do not want in this country.
In other situations, Davis said, warrants issued by courts in Wisconsin are readily available.
The type of warrant and authority claimed was different this time.
That's why I was asking to see it, to see if there was lawful authority.
Navus said the sheriff's office was failing to follow a court order that deputies show a warrant.
But the prosecutor said Navus had no right to see the warrant.
Again, that's troubling.
That's Assistant District Attorney Andrew Herman, who according to this story said Navus had no right to see the warrant.
A short time later, ICE officers appeared with deputies to make an arrest.
Navus said that he'd been instructed by judges to require warrants before individuals are detained.
The judges later said that he misstated their position, but they did not give him a chance to explain.
They simply said that he had to either resign or be fired, and he chose to resign.
The county is now accepting applications for a new court commissioner.
and hopes to have a new person hired in the early fall.
Walworth County in South Central Wisconsin on the Illinois border has historically cooperated with ICE, according to members of the American Civil Liberties Union.
We have also seen, of course, immigration arrests at the Milwaukee County Courthouse and in other courthouses raising questions about their authority there.
And this is going to continue for some time.
And it gets me again to a conversation we're going to be having in the next hour with Mark Jacob, who writes the Stop the Press's newsletter.
And his newsletter this week is called Heroes of the Resistance, the people who I describe as Americans who are still willing to stand up for American values.
And they are in law enforcement.
They are in politics.
They're in the media.
They're in education.
They're in communities of faith.
It's what we need.
We need this more than ever at a time when not just the president but frankly and sadly so many Americans are willing to undermine their own democracy in the name of what?
I mean seriously in the name of what and please don't tell me it's about the crime or you'd be doing more for criminal reform for all Americans.
You're separating out a particular different
race than you different nationality than you for matters of political convenience or personal power or whatever it is.
But it's not a good look for any American.
It's not a good look for America.

That is the most run scored by a team in modern Major League Baseball history.
It kind of felt like we were losing 30-3 in a couple of those games at Wrigley Field, but we won yesterday and that's the important part.
Continuing on with our history lesson with our friend Greg Buck, because it's Friday, so Greg's allowed to come back and play with us on Fridays, boys and girls.
Welcome to Mall Back.
That
was that
was quite the ovation there that you gave Parker
Yeah, that's a good.
Whoo.
That's a good Friday.
Not even seven o'clock ovation I mean, yeah, it's a morning
show
that one piece of confetti just
One piece of confetti.
I Really like that idea

How's your week been?
Busy

Yes, the old New York Giants now the San Francisco Giants.
Yep gonna be fun Let's see.
Let's get to the number one song ten years ago this week 2015 the new number one song was by the weekend
So this song had a bit of a weird chart history.
It was the number one song for one week.
Then it was knocked off the top for two weeks.
Then it was back to number one.
Then it was knocked off the next week.
Then it was back to number one for a week.
Then it was knocked off by the weekend's own follow-up song, The Hills.
So all in all, the song was number one for six weeks, just not in a row.
But it was still, that song was everywhere 10 years ago.
So that weekend, he's a successful gent.
Yes, yes.
Yep.
Let's see.
John Lee Hooker, the legendary blues singer-songwriter guitarist was born this day in 1917.
Paul Molliter, 69 years old today.
That's a much better birthday than talking about Craig Council's birthday yesterday, right?
And by the way, happy birthday, Craig Council.
What a nice gift we gave you yesterday.
That's true.
That's a very point.
The song by, this song by Bread, because again, it's Friday.
It's Friday.
We haven't had a good Yacht Rock Friday song.
And this ain't it either, but it's as close as we're going to get.
Brad had the number one song this week in 1970.
It's pretty close.
It's Yacht Rock adjacent, shall we?
Not
that
bread.
and oh so dense
Tori Amos is 62 years old today
Tori Amos is 62
yes oh my
god
see there's always there's always something there's
always something we got to change the format of this segment guys we cannot have you guys crashing out about how old you are every day it's
like it's it's just weird I accept the the the March of life
For me.
Yeah, it's when the people that I've admired and seen in concert or whatever and they're like, Oh, so and so is 72.
I'm like, wait a minute.
That's
not
what?
Well, no, that's, you know, again, I grew up listening to Chicago.
So to see them at Summerfest on the 4th of July and realizing they're 78, 79 and 80 years old.
It's a little weird.
Especially when they play, they play the old videos behind them when they're in the late 60s.
Oh, God.
It's a time trip.
Look at those
hairlines, they're all there.
Yeah, exactly.
And Parker, if you think that these little seven minute therapy sessions are bad for us, wait until Monday, this coming Monday, when the history segment moves, the history lesson is going to be a little bit earlier in the morning, 6.35 on a weekday morning, because we want more time to do this.
We want more time, more time to
feel
our age.
Like this one, country singer Colin Ray, he is a 60
five years old today and gave us one of those quintessential late 90s country songs that folks are still quoting
today.
Such the quintessential husband boyfriend song like oh, they caught me.
Yeah Did I say Ty Burrell is 58 today Kristen Wiig is 52 Dua Lipa is 30 years old today, and I got one for tomorrow one for of the weekend Dr. Noah Drake from General Hospital, you know I'm better a singer Rick Springfield.
He's 76 tomorrow
And I had to admit, now this is going back 15, 20 years now, so he wasn't 76 back then.
But he was at Rockfest in Cadot and put on one really great show.
And
still has a show on one of the XM channels, too, I believe.
I saw him.
He played Summerfest this year, too.
And someone snapped a picture of him sans shirt.
And the man is still in quite the good shape.
Oh, well, good for him.
Yeah.
I mean, live your life, bro.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Good.
Yes, he's girl and rock out.
Yeah.
Oh, other weekend plans for you, Mr. Buck.
I'm producing
amicus a law review tomorrow with Jim
Santosa.
You want
to hear that?
I mean, I won't be talking.
I never talked during that show because he's the person who should be talking all the time, not me ever during his show.
But that 9 a.m.
to 11 a.m.
on the Civic Media Radio Network and
That's about all I
got.
You know what?
I'll pop him on right now.
He's here.
There's Jim Santel.
He doesn't have
headphones on, so he doesn't
know
what's going on.
He doesn't.
So Jim, just wave if it's OK to put Greg on the air tomorrow.
OK, he said yes.
Greg, it's OK.
Greg, you're going to get your own segment tomorrow on Amicus.
Jim just agreed.
He doesn't know that.
No.
But we'll confirm it after the news.
It's
no mistake.
