Good afternoon, everybody.
Ta-da-ba, along with Mr. Aaron Zabers, our producer and engineer on the board.
It's six past the hour of three o'clock.
Welcome into hour number two of the big program on this Wednesday, August 13th, 2025.
It is a great day to be Wisconsinite, and it is... Pump Day!
That's right.
Halfway through the work week, always glad to have you along here for the World Headquarters of Civic Media in downtown Madison on State Street.
Sunny skies Zomers haven't seen sunny skies downtown Madison here in a bit But not really much smoke today pretty nice day out there beautiful downtown Madison.
How about that?
and for his armors to say that that something gives us the beautiful view there for watching on for those watching Facebook, YouTube and Twitter of look at that.
You can see this, the blue skies in the shot right downtown, the intersection of State Street and Fairchild, where people frequently walk against the light and almost get hit and bike
light as well and bike against the light as well.
I just hope to goodness that we do not see a tragedy on camera one of these days.
So far, a tragedy has been averted at Ampham Field in Milwaukee.
The Brewers going for 12 straight against the Pittsburgh Pirates across many of these stations on the terrestrial radio signal.
The Brewers maintain the lead by one.
Milwaukee six, Pittsburgh five in the bottom of the sixth.
Pittsburgh making a game of this one.
Brewers pitchers have been roughed up a little bit.
But that often continues to continue to produce Brewer six Pittsburgh five Bottom of the six will keep you updated trick me Olson sticking around for a bit of hour to senior advisor at the Lincoln Project But more importantly on Wednesdays.
He's a River Falls boy favorite place of the world coming across the bridge of the St.
Croix River How about that always happy to have him along he's hanging out with the family still over in Europe and so you're hanging out with Cookie and Chloe
The dog and the robot vacuum.
not
don't do cookie as well
and what Chloe did.
Tell a
So we got Cookie, the robotic vacuum, and my daughter, Ula, was setting said vacuum up.
And you know, the first thing it does is it goes all around the house and Chloe, the bulldog, is looking at Cookie very skeptically.
And then when Cookie got over by where her toys and stuff are, all of a sudden we hear this commotion and Chloe has gone completely bananas on Cookie.
And so we get Chloe back settled and Cookie keeps going about its business and Cookie goes into our master bedroom.
And we watch as Chloe, who'd been following Cookie around, goes trotting in there.
And then about 30 seconds later.
Chloe comes out with what you could only be described as a look of satisfaction on her doggie face and all of a sudden the alarm starts going off on cookie because Chloe has gotten in front of cookie and taken a large You know what right in front of it and cookie ran over it and was all plugged up And my daughter and I go in there and because
Cookie has like a brush and a wheel and other stuff.
It's taking Chloe's bomb that she's dropped on cookie and put it all it's literally everywhere
It
And one more question to the story.
I have never asked you this part, you'll think, did you and Oula actually do the cleaning or did you hire a service to come in and do it for you?
really?
We got
cleaned
I
thing.
So here the takeaway from the story is this.
If you decide to get a robotic vacuum, introduce it to your pets before you let it loose.
They need to have time.
Well,
No.
And it
right.
Well, speaking of assault, here's a that's a turn very quickly.
I want to because we tease this the first hour.
I want to make sure we I want to get your pity on this trick me.
I'm walking.
Journal Sentinel today says Wisconsin residents.
would be able to conceal, carry concealed firearms without obtaining a state license that requires training.
Under a change in state law, a Republican candidate for governor said he would seek, if elected, Whitefish Bay manufacturing CEO, Bill Berrien, says he supports eliminating state permit requirements for firearm owners who want to carry guns in a concealed fashion, a policy known to supporters as
constitutional carry.
Uh, Trini, I'll just go to you.
What's your knee jerk reaction on this?
I mean, as you know, I have my guns and I have fewer guns than I had because I inherited a boatload from my dad.
Some of them I just thought I'm going to get them to people who, you know, knew my dad and are going to appreciate him.
And some I just sold.
The thing about it though is I Just I think back to a story you remember act 10 Todd.
Oh, yeah, unfortunately.
I'll live through it in the capital All right, you remember how there were all the recall elections.
Mm-hmm
Yeah, I was living I wasn't living in in Wisconsin at the time but I was back seeing my parents and they were all riled up because Sheila harsh door food They've been friends with forever.
She was under recall Sheila wasn't gonna get beat anyway, but
the people on the left are all fired up about it, including a former colleague of my mom's.
He was leading, you know, Marches.
He was a former teacher too.
So my mom and dad are getting ready to go to this rally up in Hudson.
And I, they were like, do you want to come along?
Whatever.
And all of a sudden, my mom and dad are having a little conflict.
And my mom is like, Craig, what are you doing?
And I.
going and my dad has got a holster on and has his 44 in the holster and I'm like
what in the blue HE double hockey sticks dad are you doing?
And he's like, well, it's like, I have a permit and it's open carry, blah, blah, blah.
And I said, dad, and he's like, there's going to be some protesters there.
I said, dad, what are you going to do?
Shoot Don Richards for God's sake.
He taught with mommy goes to ushered with you at church.
Like, what are you talking about?
And I just think there's a there's a level of crazy with.
that to a degree.
I mean, I don't, I'm not for banning guns.
I became a Republican because I don't want government telling me what I can and can't do.
That's why I don't like government telling my daughters what they can and can't do around the issue of choices that they make, even though it isn't, you know, I would never want them to be in a position where they're in that.
But if they had to, it should be their choice.
Same with guns.
But it also, it just seems like, I don't know.
I mean to go back to what
I
hunter safety course make people pass me to me too I took it hunter safety Rudy Neagle conservationist in the basement of the Richland County Courthouse when I was 11 or 12 When I worked in the Capitol, I actually sat through
a concealed carry class because my boss said, look, I want to be able to make sure we know what's going on.
This is when the legislature was going on.
Could you have concealed carry in Wisconsin?
So they brought in a certified person and I sat through the concealed carry class that they taught at the Capitol or some legislators, some staffers that were in this.
And I was struck by how much time they spent.
Going over laws existing laws of Wisconsin and said and made it very impactful that if you choose to seek a concealed carry permit You would better understand fully the responsibility that comes with that and if you decide to discharge your firearm Even though you have a permit even though you might be you feel legally in the right Expect to be arrested
When when authorities come and then you're going to have to prove that you Discharge that weapon legally and for reason this is not a permit that allows you it's not the Wild West don't hear have a gun put it in your holster, you know Discharge it however you want they spent like well over an hour and it was basically to I don't want to I guess I'll just use the term it was to scare people
into saying this is not anything to fool around with.
This is serious business and you need to take the responsibility for that.
And so if we're gonna have a concealed carry in this state, I cannot fathom having constitutional carry where you're able to have that firearm on you without ever having to take that class and understand the heavy responsibility that comes with it.
Feral feral teenage driver It's
performative
bingo bingo that you're exactly right because Bill Barry and this guy I mean
He is one of the most unqualified people I've ever seen either side of the aisle just because I mean look there was a lot of people that have served in the military and they're actual heroes I don't know I mean it's the same he's pulling the same card that Derek Van Orton did he claims to be a Navy Seal I'll take him at his word for now and he's running on that and he claims to be a manufacturer
and a business person.
Well, Ron, Ron Johnson married into his wife's money.
Look how that turned out.
So this guy and this guy, all he wants, Trump's endorsement, he wants to be extreme.
I agree with you, Trivi is performative, but it's also enormously irresponsible because as a firearm owner myself and I believe in that and I believe in hunting and having weapons to not only hunt, but to reasonably protect yourself.
But this kind of crap from Baryon with constitutional Kerry and wanting to go back to the Wild West is a recipe for disaster, Trigby.
Not
like somebody finds.
They find you in a bar and they say and they say Bart Starr was not the best quarterback in Packers history.
It was Jordan Love.
They get into a fight and pretty soon somebody's dead for goodness

I've had both really
All right.
You want to give your answer?
Which you think it is, Todd?
I don't know because it's been so I was I was talking to Zommer's before the show.
It's been literally years, maybe five or six years since I've had a five guys fry.
I don't think I've had one in like a decade.
Really?
And so for while you go first, I'm going to say I'm going to say you're going to say McDonald's.
they're
fries.
Oh, that's why I meant it.
I'm sorry.
I'm okay with Five

Robert listening in lacrosse on WLCX.
We were up in lacrosse last week Great, uh, great city up there on the river.
He says ranking

No salt fries are the top spot.
Number two, five guys.
And then McDonald's fries, he says, are limpy.
be.
Well, I think it depends whether you got a fresh one or not.
Tom.
They have
Shake Shack's solid.
I mean, they put a new one at Hilldale across from LL Bean when I worked there.
I think that Shake Shack is fine.
I also think that it's overpriced and overrated.
Take me to Culver's anytime, any day over Shake Shack.
Heather checking in on Facebook from Eau Claire says both are very good, but five guys is worse.
Whatever addictive powder they shake on the Mickey D's fries must be the secret.
Crack.
They put crack on there.
Tom in New Berlin listening in on WAUK says, yes, Mickey D's fries rock.
So five guys is worse.
Also, very quickly, a little public service announcement on one of our great sponsors, Copkey's greenhouse down in the town of Dunn outside the city of Oregon here in Dane County.
Gordy Copkey listing in on MDX.
Gordy says, hey, can you give us a shout out for the nonprofit, Jazz at Five, live tonight on the Capitol Square, five o'clock until 7.30.
Hope to see you there.
Thanks, Gordy.
I wonder where that was starting back up.
I know it usually starts after the, uh, the, uh, concerts in the square.
So yeah, stop on out tonight, help the nonprofits that Gordy Kopki is a part of jazz at five live tonight, right?
Half a block away from where Zomers and I are sitting, a block away here at the top of State Street.
So I'm going to say, yeah, I'm going to agree with my friend, Trigvie, and with Zomers, five guys, fries are worse.
Mickey D's fries rock.
Thank you, Trigvie.
I appreciate you for sticking around.
Take care of Cookie and Chloe.
I will, Todd.
All right.
I will.
Come on back.
We'll talk a little baseball after this on the Pacific media.
Ready
to
welcome back to the title of all show on the Pacific media.
Ready to work now.
Thirty five past the hour of three o'clock on Wednesday, August 13th.
Zombers on the board.
Brewers on the field up to bat in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Crew trying to win 12 in a row.
For the first time since 2018, only be the third time in franchise history.
They are up right now, eight to five in the bottom of the seventh inning.
I believe now two men on base, pardon me, make it one person, one guy on base, one out bottom of the seventh brewers, eight pirates, five going for 12 at a row.
will keep you up to date as the game progresses on many of these civic media radio stations over the air.
Cannot broadcast the game on the old on the streaming service, as they say.
Quick cleanup at aisle two.
People are listed on delay sometimes.
And that's fine.
We love that.
And so they're weighing in on today's what's worse.
So we'll give a couple, couple of these that came in late on YouTube, Joseph watching on YouTube.
The category today, by the way, was what's worse, McDonald's fries or five guys fries.
Joseph on YouTube says five guys are worse.
Mickey D's are better quality and value.
And also Megan out in beautiful sun prairie listening on WMDX says.
This is like comparing apples to oranges.
Five guys is not as well known as McDonald's.
I can't even remember when five, what five guys fries tastes like.
Probably been a decade since I've had them.
Thanks, Megan.
That was kind of me too.
I've had it's been a long time.
Five, six years.
Zomers longer.
So yeah, I think pretty much Mickey D's one out.
Almost unanimous today, Zomers, right?
I mean
And we've talked about this before too Coca-Cola in the fountain, you know give you your glass of McDonald's for some odd reason Just tastes refreshingly better.
Are you serious?
reason don't do the plastic cardboard
You know syrup stuff that goes into the no
bring it
so
We're not doing it.
We're not doing a problem.
This is it's just it's just the truth.
It's different right It's just different.
I mean those two things but for my money
If I'm gonna, people that watch this show know, I'm gonna stop at Culver's.
I'm gonna support a good- Well, me too.
Wisconsin-based chain.
Brewer's 8, Pirates 5 right now, bottom of the seventh, one out, two men on for the crew right now.
Speaking of the crew, thought we'd bring a little sound from Christian Yelich.
The Atlantic is, or probably the athletic, Atlantic is also good as well, but the athletic-
Great source for sports information.
And Jason Stark sat down recently with Doug Glanville for the, the athletic and talked to Christian Yelich a little bit about this team, about what makes it special.
And so often we get into the balls and the strikes and the scores and all that's great.
I mean, look at me.
I've been a Bob Euker, Milwaukee Brewer jersey and my new Euker, my new Brewer's baseball cap today.
So I'm all for it.
By the way, Brewers score again.
Now nine to five, bottom of the seventh inning, Joey Ortiz with another RBI.
Joey, Joey.
Oh, how about that guy?
Fantastic.
Brewers nine, Pittsburgh five right now, bottom of the seventh.
So here's a little bit of this interview from the athletic with Christian Yelich.
on what it's like right now being a Milwaukee Brewer.
Even during the game on the bench, we have a lot of guys that like talk about situations and stuff that's happening in the game.
And like, was that good?
Was that not good?
Like, what do you think about this here and stuff like that?
I really do think that's a reason why we've been so successful.
Like everybody wants to know, you know, why we win games.
I don't know if it's because they they're not familiar with a lot of our players on the team.
Like they just they're kind of amazed that.
We're not bad.
It seems like, you know, that's kind of what it feels like when he hears like everyone thinks there's like some sort of like magical thing.
Come
on.
You got to reveal that secret sauce, man.
I think we have good players is what it is.
But they might not just be like household names or people that other like fans have heard of or media members have heard of, but they can play the game.
And that's what it's about, right, is playing the game and trying to score more than the other team.
That's Christian Yelich
interview from the athletic on what it's like just kind of being a brewer right now.
Such a leader.
And Zomers, let me know when you're ready.
Can I set you another clip here from Pat Murphy, manager Pat Murphy on Christian Yelich and what kind of a guy he's like as a leader of the team in the clubhouse.
And this was so fascinating because if you don't know the backstory,
I think it's really important what's happening right now in Milwaukee.
And they intentionally, and not like they were going, oh, we're going to, you know, make Yelich our club, club leader, but they did it right when they drafted Yelich.
They picked him up.
He was out in Los Angeles, visiting his mom because he's from, he's from that area.
And so they flew the team plane, plane out there to get Yelich and Euker was on the plane.
I think they picked up Yelich and then they went to Arizona.
and they picked up Euker and Robin Yacht in the team plane before they went up to Milwaukee.
So, Yellows tells a story before of his first introduction to Brewer's baseball on a plane locked in a fuselage together was Bob Euker and Robin Yacht.
I don't know two people that could indoctrinate you more into what being a Brewer is supposed to be like than Euker and Yacht.
And that was it.
That was the impetus for Christie Yelich understanding Brewer's baseball.
Here's manager Pat Murphy on Christie
Yelich.
huge influence last year's team this year's team teams before that just just amazing you know and yeah he's the right dude and he knows the temperature in there the water better than anyone he's just perfect for those guys in there you know I mean like because he just doesn't try to lead just leads because he's really a sincere giving person in his own way and he doesn't try
He's just a really good person.
And he really reaches out to those young guys.
He sees what they need.
He's just great.
He sees he's really
great.
Manager, Pat Murphy, after the game here this week, talking a little bit about what it's like to have Kristen Yellich in the clubhouse.
And again, Pat Murphy, a guy I've been around the Brewers organization for over a decade, been around baseball even longer.
He's a grizzled manager.
He's a guy who never thought he was gonna get his shot like this But because counsel went to Chicago unexpectedly Their brewers kind of caught shorthanded and I honestly think it was Euker and Yellich and some of the people the clubhouse that basically said give Murph a chance I don't know all that for sure.
But just some of the things have kind of rent read tangentially And they did and it's worked out really really well
Got one more cut somers.
He's ready.
The pro is always this is a cut via Adam McKelvally and He posted this again.
This was a little bit more of Yelich on the win streak right now
You always remind us how hard it is to win a major league game.
Yeah, I have two 10 game winning streaks We're just s and Jose this can you kind of explain?
How hard that is to do?
Yeah, I mean it's hard to just win one game in the major leagues, but
I think we've done it by just being present and focusing on the current day and not thinking about previous days or what we have ahead of us.
Just staying present in the moment and you know talking about and figuring out what we got to do to win that night.
How hard does it have to do?
It's hard and you know the guys have done a really good job and been really focused and just
We talk about all the time as far as what we need to do to win, what we like about what we did before, and what we need to continue to do going forward, what we get better at.
That's like a constant dialogue in this clubhouse and it's a really fun team to be a part of.
The guys have come a long way over the course of the year of just getting better and more experienced and just understanding how we can play the game and affect the outcomes.
Kristen Yelich post game interview here this week on this win streak, what is like?
And I just think a lot of people are, I've seen this a lot of internet chatter, social media chatter.
Well, you know, they get our hopes up and then they crush.
Our dreams get crushed in the post season.
You know what?
Forget that.
Enjoy the moment.
Enjoy the moment, you guys.
That's one of the great things that I've taken away from my involvement.
I don't know a great player and really in anything, but my time being a manager on a team in high school and baseball and football, my time being involved with Pioneer Sports, having the honor to call Pioneer basketball when Bo Ryan was there winning national championships and Pioneer football, when Paul Christad was the head coach there and then others have followed.
Being around baseball teams, softball teams.
One of the great lessons I've learned from my dad being a wrestling coach for 30 plus years.
One of the great lessons from athletics, from sports, is enjoy the moment.
Just live in the moment.
And even people that aren't athletically inclined or saying, I don't care that much about sports, it's a great lesson.
We can worry about yeah, this might all come to an end tomorrow Or we can we can get to down on ourselves about well, I I made mistakes in my past You know the one thing that that we can live in is today and the present and enjoy that Enjoy
Yeah, I also really I like what he said about
not only living in the moment and only thinking about that day, but the team sitting down after every game to talk about, OK, here's what worked.
Here's what didn't.
It's everybody being open to that constructive criticism and working together as a team of, OK, this is what has to happen.
Why did or didn't it happen today?
100 percent.
You
there.
And I think that's why this win streak is continuing on.
And if it holds we're still the bottom of the seventh right now brewers have the bases loaded two outs William Contreras at the plate brewers lead it right now nine to five and You're absolutely right somers at the take one of the takeaways is work as a team don't care who gets the credit and and just keep you know Pat Murphy the manager
Keep saying, you know, he's called them the average Joe's because they're other than yellow.
Maybe there aren't a bunch of huge household named stars or the lowest paid teams and professional baseball.
He's called them average Joe's.
He's also called them, you know, just woodpecker baseball, bunch of woodpeckers.
Keep pecking away.
Keep, keep coming in, taking your swing at the plate, doing it every day.
And again, do you put lots to be learned there, whether you're a sports fan or not?
Just keep pecking away, get better every day, work as a team.
anything.
Right.
And look, as somebody who was around when the Brewers were really, really bad, and who were members when the Brewers went to the World Series in 1982, because I was in middle school, and if you weren't around or you don't have a lot of memory of those times,
happen to have it in my hot little hands.
You can still see the movie just a bit outside.
The story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers run to the World Series.
You can find it on Amazon, on Apple TV, on Roku for free, or on a DVD as well.
Check that out because these vibes haven't been around really since 82.
Enjoy it in the moment.

Stay tuned Clemens will continue to follow this and have updates for you throughout the afternoon Let's go quickly the phone lines eight five five seven five two four eight four two Rick listening down in Waukesha Listen to our what's worse earlier the category was what's worse McDonald fries or five guys fries first of all Rick How are you and your family in the Waukesha area after the flooding over the weekend?
well a lot of the bridges are shut down so the traffic is
just jammed up all the way, more than to Milwaukee.
Wow.
Yeah.
It's,
uh, it's tough.
Yeah.
Tough for a lot of people, uh, thoughts, prayers and good vibes to you and everybody else in the walkie-shot area down there.
Uh, what do you got on McDonald's?
Well,
I've eaten the McDonald's a lot.
The fries.
Um, I matter of fact, when I worked construction, I built worked on one.
Oh, really?
The, uh, the first one that was the, uh,
It's 1950s like one of my Southridge.
Yeah, I think overall I've always heard that they have their own potatoes.
And you know like a company that makes them or something.
That's a contract for a certain
farm, yeah.
Yeah, and I think what I've been realizing lately is overall they're really good and I think a lot of times they're bringing in fresh
salt.
Yeah, so you're right there.
It's the, it's the, if you get fresh, good salt, you know, it tastes like it's way stronger.
Right.
No, it's high quality salt, right?
And
whatever
it is,
it's addictive.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, it is.
Well, thanks
for
listening, Rick.
I always appreciate your listenership.
And again, thought prayers and all the best to you, folks in Waukesha and everywhere else trying to recover from those floods.
We're
with you.
Thank
you.
Thank you very much.
Appreciate it, Rick, down there in Waukesha listening on a great station, W-A-U-K.
Tommy Newberlin says the webs.
Watch they're on web watch and web fries, but they're tasty at two in the morning of this Saturday says Tommy New Berlin.
That sounds like he is speaking from experience.
Can update you now.
The Brewers are now into the top of the eighth top of the eighth right now in Milwaukee Brewers 12 and pirates would say five.
Yeah.
So yeah.
Milwaukee's pulled away here, two more innings to go.
We will see if they can hang on for those George Webb burgers.
I'm just captivated.
I know in a time when there's a lot of pain and suffering in Milwaukee after these floods, when the news isn't great every day, especially in the Dalek days of August, we need a little bit of good news, something that could distract us from all the craziness of politics.
and we can rally behind.
Again, it's not unlike in some ways, 1982, where there was a lot of economic strife in the Milwaukee area in particular, Schlitz brewing, all their breweries were going under, people losing their jobs economically.
The city needed a hero or distraction and the brewers needed fans to support them because they were just kind of a rag tag bunch.
and 1982 was a magical year.
And I'm not here to predict how this year is gonna end, but again, I hope we all live in this moment and enjoy the positive distraction, a chance to rally together as neighbors, a chance to rally together as a state, and just enjoy the ride, folks, as long as this thing lasts.
Brewers, and I think we should all be able to rally around the fact
that we are seven and a half games right now and any and a half away from being eight and a half games up on the Chicago Cubs.
We should all be able to rally around that.
talking
out.
And we'll finish this tomorrow.
I got a great piece here.
Somebody sent me.

I'm just a pause here for a second Oh, I try to read off my computer screen with my glasses I need it ain't good.
So I apologize So Tom Shriver ahead of former head of the Special Olympics, which was founded by his mother Eunice Kennedy Shriver He's also the son of the Peace Corps founder leading Sarge Shriver and they put together was called the dignity Index is armor.
Don't let me forget to we're gonna get to this tomorrow.
