From the Civic Media World Headquarters in Madison, Wisconsin, it's the Todd Alba Show.
And now, pursuing truth wherever it may lead, here's your host, Todd Alba.
Across Wisconsin on the Civic Media Radio Network and streaming worldwide on the Civic Media app.
Good afternoon, everybody.
Todd Alba, along with Mr. Aaron Zummers on the board.
It is six minutes past the hour of three o'clock.
Welcome to hour number two of the big broadcasts on this TGIF Friday, October 3rd, 2025, here in downtown Madison.
It's a great day to be Wisconsinite.
It's a beautiful fall day.
Leaves, turning colors, perfect.
Well, it's a little warm, I know, but pretty much for me, perfect color.
No temperature, no humidity.
Got our October baseball, Brewer t-shirt on, Uke's jersey hanging up beside me.
Zomers, I'm in a great mood, and after you spend a half an hour talking to Pam Yankee on the Midwest Farm Report, how could you be in anything but?
Honestly, if...
Yeah, I was gonna say if you're asleep, maybe not but even then I feel like you'd wake up with a smile on your face,
right?
No, it's fantastic.
She's great.
I love everything about her.
She's such a good natured person I've had the honor to to know her over the years working in politics because she's always covering agriculture events and She's nothing but gracious what you hear and see on the air is exactly the way that she is When you hang out with her or meet her in real life that I've set around
you know, drinking, watching packer games at Pam.
But I've been around her when she's interviewing people, talking to people when she's not, you know, quote, unquote, on the air.
And she's exactly like that.
And that's why one of the many reasons I have so much admiration for her, I think she's not thinking.
I know she's been a mentor from afar in terms of you look at somebody like Pam Yankee and you're like, that's the way you do it.
That's the way you treat people.
That's the way you're you should be a good broadcaster to be yourself be authentic and and just have fun and and no one is more of a professional in broadcasting than Pam Yankee So thank you very much Pam.
We appreciate you being on we'll have her back soon coming up at the bottom of this hour another great Broadcasting professional.
We're blessed today to have two of them not just Pam but also
Mike Clemens, our great sports reporter here at Civic Media is live in Milwaukee at Amfam Field.
Gonna talk Brewer's baseball at the bottom of the hour, so stay tuned for that.
We have our green and gold text-to-win contest coming up, trying to sneak in on what's worse as well, but first of all, a couple of quick hits for you in terms of news.
One serious from Channel3000.com.
I know on some of our stations talked about this locally.
But I think it's especially in light of yesterday's time we spent on Department of Homeland Security and ICE bringing a Black Hawk helicopter in amongst other armament and people to descend upon an apartment building on the south side of Chicago, starting to hit closer to home, not that dramatically.
But still worth note from Channel 3W ISC here in Madison Madison police confirmed the presence of ICE in Madison yesterday Madison police chief John Pedersen released a statement shortly after noon today Saying that the department was made aware of the actions after ICE had already left the community
Central Hispano of Dane County posted on Facebook that seven people were detained in a targeted enforcement operation on Madison's northeast side.
The local nonprofit reported that the arrest took place at a single residence yesterday morning that ICE had targeted.
Despite ongoing rumors of ICE activity in Madison, yesterday's incident is the first confirmed presence of ICE in Wisconsin's capital.
from central hispano they said quote central and voces de la frontera are gathered gathering verified information and providing support to impacted families unquote that from central hispanol's uh press release put out today so there you have it confirmation by the madison police department that ice is in madison and has taken at least their first confirmed action here in the city of madison
So be aware.
As we said yesterday, if you think some of these things are happening in larger cities, are not going to visit Wisconsin, you're a little naive.
So be aware.
On the lighter side, from Wisconsin Rapids Tribune, no pennies, no problem.
Here we go.
What do you think about the penny?
We've talked about the penny before this show.
But if you haven't got a penny, no problem.
Quicktrip is going to be rounding down its prices to accommodate for the end of penny production.
Well, the cross-base company announced yesterday it will be rounding down at Quicktrip all cash cash.
That's the key.
All cash purchases to the nearest five cents.
Quote as stores run out of pennies by location and since the government has not provided guidance on how to proceed all cash Purchases at quick trip and quick star locations will be rounded down To the nearest five cents ensuring a guest friendly approach According to the company's release.
They said quick trip will continue this approach until permanent legislative solution has been enacted
So there you go.
But be aware that digital and card-based purchases will remain unaffected and will continue to be processed at the exact amount listed.
But cash transactions will be automatically rounded down.
As Miko Madre says, cash is king.
So there you go.
If you're using cash a quick trip, you're gonna save five cents.
Potentially
or for
up to four up to four up to four.
Hey every every cent does it does every cent counts as a news You can use here on a Friday as you get ready for your weekend.

Wow, it's a very strong opinions here.
Steely
Dan

All right, let's go quickly into phone line.
Our old friend Gordy Kopke down there at Kopke's greenhouse, one of our great sponsors at Civic Media.
Check him out for all your fall pumpkin and plant needs in the town of Dunne outside the city of Oregon here in Dane County.
Gordy, smooth jazz or yacht rock, what's worse?
Well, music is subject to frame of mind.
And there are sometimes when one is preferred over the other, it's really hard to choose because they're both easy listening and
to say, state of mind.
But I want to thank you for that wonderful interview with Pam.
I was out on my tractor cutting my fifth cutting of hay.
It's, I never even get four cuttings, but this year, because of all the rain and all the heat, and now here we're getting August weather in October.
So I thought, well, let me get my haymour and see what's out there.
So that's what I was doing while you were on the phone with Pam.
Well, that's really cool.
Thanks, Corey.
Appreciate you.
Thanks for calling in.
Thanks for being one of our great sponsors.
Gordy Kopke down there in the town of Dunn what's worse smooth jazz or yacht rock 8 5 5 7 5 2 4 8 4 2 8 5 5 7 5 2 4 8 4 2 brand-new caller on MDX that don't didn't leave their name But they say smooth jazz is the worst all right very good Edward Edward calling in or texting in
I guess they're talking about me says this person is pathetic.
Please let a better person write in the day for the next three years
Tell us how you really think Edward I am pretty sure that that was actually directed at the president.
I'm not sure I'm looking at the other text.
Well,
I don't really care But I mean, you know a lot of people think I'm pathetic, but that's fine.
I'm having a great day
Matt Middleton says smooth jazz is worse, as it's more common and annoying.
Zomers, what's worse?
I gotta say smooth jazz.
Not much time to elaborate, but I like it.
I would say smooth jazz as well is
worse.
All right, stay tuned.
What's better is our great sports reporter, Mike Clemens, talking Brewers, Packers, Badgers and more.
Don't go anywhere, farm news is next on the Civic Media Radio.
Well, they're going to be fired up.
I mean, they've had the best team in baseball this year.
They feel like they have a chance to play in the World Series with this team.
So they're rested.
So it's going to be a great atmosphere.
It's Cubs Brewers.
That's going to be as good as it gets.
It's always a great atmosphere when the two teams play each other.
We'll try to get as many Cubs fans in there as we can.
They won't like that.
But it's going to be a fun atmosphere.
I know that.
That's Craig Council of the Cubs.
And you better believe it, Council.
The Brewers do have the best team in baseball.
It's going to be a fantastic weekend.
Brewers are going to take it to him.
I'm excited.
Got the October baseball.
Sure not.
Got the Eukary Jersey hanging up here in the studio.
Great work.
Zommer is on the board.
Blister and the Sun featured in that great film by our friends, John Hamish and Kelly Call, just a bit outside the story of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers.
Check it out if you haven't seen it already.
Apple TV, Amazon Prime.
What else is on Tubi now?
It's on Tubi.
I was thinking still on the Roku channel.
Roku channel and Tubi are free.
Yeah, absolutely.
And here to talk about not just the Brewers, Packers have a bye week.
The Badgers are gonna go to Michigan and get spanked in my opinion, but here to to a cash in on the excitement of Brewer fever.
He's caught it Nobody covers it better their own sports reporter Mike Clemens who joins us live from Milwaukee Mike.
How are you?
Todd I just texted you a picture I Because there's writers in the press box and then there's network crews here from TBS look at that setting up stuff We've been here since 11 o'clock this morning
But, uh, and now, uh, the brewers just took to the field for BP and then the Cubs will be out here at 530.
We're going to talk to council here in about 25 minutes.
So I'll be going downstairs.
But you know something?
Because you, we might see, I've told you before, I got hired by TV 18 in August of 82.
Wow.
About 21, 22 years old, still at UWM.
I lied on a few things.
Okay.
But I was exaggerated.
It's
fine.
I got it.
Oh, sure.
I've done that.
Sure.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe I looked older at the time, but I was a producer for Mike Segan, the former ball player for the Bulls in the Reds.
And Steve Shannon was the play-by-play guy.
And so I got to cover all those World Series games that just a bit outside is all about.
Is that crazy?
And so today.
Today to see this nice warm October day, it's already October, and there's still baseball here.
I'm telling you, I got goosebumps.
I mean, I know these guys have been, it's like Mark Antonosio just told us here about 45 minutes ago.
He did a press conference with a GM, Matt Arles.
Yeah, I bought the team 21 years ago.
They had 12 losing seasons.
We've been at the playoffs eight of the last nine years.
Yeah, I'd say I've been a good custodian.
So, uh, but that's, but I, and then, and then to see the Cubs hold on even after, you know, they were being in some of the Padres and they got a really bad call, really bad call.
Oh man.
Um, there, the, the Cubs are here and then this thing gets going tomorrow.
First time ever that these two teams obviously have faced each other in the post season.
I mean, you can't ask for a better script.
No, you really can't want to get this in quickly because the game is being carried on many of our stations here on the Civic Media Radio Network, including WRCE and Richelon Center, WISS, and Oshkosh WCQM and Park Falls WBZH in Hayward.
First pitch tomorrow on Saturday for the NLDS at AMFAM 108 in the afternoon.
pregame show just after 1230 and you can hear it on all those stages over the air cannot stream it on the app but over the air.
Mike Clemens.
So turn on the radio.
Yeah, yeah, on
the radio.
Jeff and Lane will do the play by play and get you all the inside stuff like that.
But if you're not lucky enough to get tickets to this thing, it's going to be on either TBS or I guess HBO Max.
And I was joking with a guy yesterday said, you know, when the game started at 108.
because it's going to take eight minutes to find a flipping game.
You're right.
You're right about that.
I'm not going to play the whole clip, but I want to play and this appeared in my timeline here.
I think on Twitter last night and this was put out by the Brewers a few years ago.
And if you're a Cubs fan, I want you to listen really closely and think
to
yourself if you're a Cubs fan.
Is this the guy that you want leading your team into the NLDS tomorrow?
I don't know you.
I don't know your story, your background, what you do for a living.
And yet, I do know you.
I
know how your
eyes lit up the first time you walked into County Stadium.
I know how, as a kid, you dreamed of being Robin Young.
and wanted nothing more than to one day wear that brewer's script across your chest.
I know that every summer you stay up late listening to Mr. Baseball on the radio.
I know that you'll never forget October 10th, 1982.
September 28th, 2008.
for October 7th, 2011.
So it
goes on from there.
If you don't recognize the voice, that is former Brewer's player, former Brewer's manager, and the current Cubs manager, Craig Council.
Mike Lemons, this guy, he's in his soul.
If you're a Cubs fan, aren't you like, is this really the guy that we want leading our club tomorrow?
And,
you know, he's reading a script, by the way.
I'm giving them to you by PR, right?
That's, you know, that's Brewer's productions.
Listen, he, he incerns left after the heater trade, man.
Right.
You know, I mean, come on.
And, and, you know, he, he, he played, he stayed here two more years, filled out his contract, walked out the door, wasn't going to say anything.
They lost in the, in the playoffs.
And whatever happened, it happened in the next 48 hours after that.
But the Cubs were waiting at the minute that they could call and meet him and bring him in.
And then they opened up their books and showed, here's how much money we'll spend.
Here's how much payroll that you'll have, the kinds of players you can acquire.
And he'd had enough of this here.
But what's amazing, what's amazing is that
How do you have this continuity?
How do you end up having 97 wins with a bunch of these kids?
I mean kids.
Isaac who?
Caleb what?
And here you have the best record in baseball.
And that's just the beauty of this story.
The Mets are sitting at home watching this.
And they spent three times as much as you did.
And today I got to ask a question, Todd.
I've been asking a while, it's not like you can, you know, go up to Marc Antanasio and talk about this anytime.
But I said, you know that anybody watching baseball this year, and then when they watched a Brewers game, the average fan is saying, where did they get these guys?
Where did they get these guys?
There's a dozen guys out here that we didn't know who they were.
The Miz, Jacob Mizorowski.
Where did they get these guys?
And to me, I think they came in with a plan where they said,
We're not spending 300 million or more on a bunch of, you know, washed up veterans in their thirties.
We're going to get hungry kids in here, and we're going to take that money and put it into scouting.
And we're going to find the next Jackson Churio out of Venezuela or, you know, all parts of the Western Hemisphere.
He deferred to Matt Arnold and said, oh, I hire good executives.
And then I try and say no.
try not to ever say no when they ask me for things, but I know that Doug Melvin said this and see these guys, they still are playing their cards closer to us.
Doug Melvin, before he retired as GM, he said, our department is like almost tripled in the time that I've been here.
So I think they put it in more scouts in the field and more recruiting that way to get in these younger ball players rather than put all that money on one ball player who's
out on the 15 day IL.
Mike, I talked to Mike Clemens here, a great sports reporter from Ampham Field in Milwaukee.
Mike, I still want to touch on the Packers and the Badgers a little bit.
But quickly, get your sense from somebody who's in that clubhouse all season, who's been around these guys.
Pat Murphy, the great manager who I think should be named NL manager, not baseball manager of the year this year.
But we had Brady Ewing on the show for Badger NFL player last week.
And I asked him about Pat Murphy's comments that he made
to Bob Costas on the Major League Baseball Network here a week or two ago, where he said, it really comes down, Murph did, to the who, to the who.
And we have the right guys in this clubhouse.
But as someone who's been in the clubhouse, Mike Clemens, is that real?
This is a story I'm going to ask Murph about tomorrow in the pregame if we have a chance.
This is where, sure there's analytics involved, right?
And developing and all that, but this is where you still need a Pat Murphy to push the buttons during a game.
They're playing Cincinnati.
They're trying to keep that 14 game streak alive.
It's a Saturday night, and the Reds are desperate to come back, and the Reds made it into the postseason.
And he goes to Andrew Monasterio and says, are you ready?
Two or three times during the game, he says, are you ready?
Are you ready?
And then in the, like in the 12th inning in overtime, he puts them in, he throws in the pinch hitter when they least expect it.
And the kid hits one out of the park and they win the game.
That's Pat Murphy.
He's working, he's working the kid.
He's playing with his mind and says to him, are you ready to do something great?
And
he does.
Yeah.
It's incredible.
It's just incredible.
I can't imagine being in your seat, getting to see it from a front row there.
It has to be absolutely great.
Again, Brewers, pre-game show around 12.30 on many of our stations.
First pitch against the Cubs at 1.08 tomorrow afternoon.
You can see it on, like I said, is it TBS or TN?
What are those Turner stations?
I don't know.
Let's listen to the radio.
Also, what you can see is the Fox Big Noon Saturday broadcast from the Big House in Michigan.
pregame on the radio on many of our station starts at nine o'clock in the morning.
It is Wisconsin at Michigan.
Is there any hope by Clemens?
You know, Wisconsin State Journal had that stat this week that so far, Danny O'Neill, the Badgers quarterback has been sacked 13 times.
That's more than they had all last season.
They've got troubles with that offensive line, man, and injuries as well.
And now they got to go against Michigan tomorrow at the big house.
It's not good.
It's not good.
I'm actually nervous that they can win another game this year.
I'm not trying to be all Debbie Downer, but I mean, they've got to change a lot of internal things.
Let's go quickly about a minute and a half left here, Mike Clemens, Packers.
I'm telling people, I'm saying I'm not freaking out yet.
I'm trying to hone Aaron Rodgers a little bit, relax.
But boy, just like the Badgers, the way the Packers lost in Dallas, Mike, wasn't as bad a person as it was on television.
No, and here's the difference.
At one point, during the Mike McCarthy, Aaron Rodgers era, Rodgers says, look, I can't wait for you to give me plays.
Matter of fact, it happened to him in the year that they won the Super Bowl.
They lost the game.
They should have won in Washington.
because of the last minute or two coming down the field.
So they let Aaron call the plays during the two-minute drills.
And the Packers have continued to have great two-minute offense, better than most teams in the league, even under LaFleur.
And now Jordan Love.
I think this is going to get to a point where Matt LaFleur is going to say, I got to give the keys to Jordan Love, let him run the offense the last two minutes so they don't have the mistakes like they had last Sunday night in Dallas.
Who's call was that at the end?
to take it down to one second.
Was that the flur or love?
No, the fact is, I had two players and one on record, a tape I said to you from Josh Jacobs who said, I don't think half our guys know what we're supposed to be in two minutes.
And I mean, that's either a miscommunication from the quarterback or the fact that you've got two or three new guys on the offensive line that don't get it.
Dude.
We're in warp speed, as the floor calls it.
Get your ass up to the line.
Let's get the next play going.
Mike Clemens, nobody does it better.
Thanks for taking time, my friend.
You can hear all of his great reporting all weekend long of both the Brewers and the Badgers right here.
Thanks, Mike.
Have a great time tonight.
Thanks, Todd.
Yep, you're welcome.
Come on back.
Wrap up after this specific media.
Ready now.

Can you hear from him in just a few minutes here?
But first, some breaking news here at this hour.
According to CBS News, Hamas has agreed to parts of Gaza's peace proposal outlined by President Trump.
Hamas said this afternoon, has agreed to parts of the ceasefire and hostage release deal the President Trump outlined earlier this week.
A source familiar with the talks told CBS News that Hamas is ready to enter.
Further negotiations.
A U.S.
official told CBS News that the United States views Hamas' response as positive, though there are details that still need to be hammered out, such as the decommissioning of weapons, which may begin as soon as next week.
Hamas said in a statement, it is willing to release all living hostages and the remains of deceased hostages, quote, in accordance with the exchange formula set forth in President Trump's proposal.
Unquote.
So it's still a breaking story.
I'm sure Maggie Dawn will have more of this on the Maggie Dawn Show following our broadcast.
But at this hour, being reported by CBS and multiple agencies that Hamas has agreed to, large parts of the Gaza piece proposal is outlined by President Donald Trump.
Of course, the devil is always in the details, so stay tuned to that.
Also,
The national news media, rather than focusing on what's happening in Chicago with, you know, ICE and Department of Homeland Security attacking apartment buildings, they're obsessed with Sean P. Diddy Combs.
Well, it has been, it's happening right now, breaking news.
Sean Diddy Combs has been sentenced to over four years, four years and two months for prostitution related charges.
Having served about 12 months so far, that would keep him in jail for another three
or so years, prosecution was seeking more than that.
The defense was basically saying let him out.
Apparently by reporting on her earlier today, he was so arrogant as to book a speaking engagement, I think next week in Florida, in Florida.
So P, did he?
That ain't going to work out so well for him.
Uh, so I believe we're caught up on the breaking news.
The government, by the way, is still shut down.
Lawmakers are taking on by the law makers, people like Ron Johnson and Glenn growth.
Scottie Fitzgerald, Tom Tiffany, Derek Van Orden, still getting paid, still getting paid, still lifetime health insurance.
All right, Maggie Dawn is next.
She'll have more on this breaking news and other, other news of the day than, uh,
Pete Schwabba after that text to win goal for the green and gold text to win contest this hour five minutes left.
Our word right now is team.
T. E. A. M. Issa Mary team text the word team right now to the civic media app.
Want to leave you with this little Garth Brooks speaking out on his upcoming tour.
He'll be at Summer Fest next summer.
And here's what Garth Brooks has had to say about some of his songs and standing up for inclusion.
Let's address two things on it.
One is diversity.
Inclusiveness.
That's me.
It's always been me.
We got the same kind of thing on We Shall Be Free.
People, you know, wanting to burn our stuff and stuff.
I get
it.
Everybody's got their opinions.
But inclusiveness is always going to be me.
I think diversity is the answer to the problems that are here and the answer to the problems that are coming.
So I love diversity.
All included.
So all are welcome.
I understand that might not be other people's opinions, but that's okay, man.
They have their opinions, they have their beliefs, but I have mine.
Second thing though, just let's talk about being a bar owner.
I'm a bar owner now.
Are we going to have the most popular beers in the thing?
Yes, it's not our call if we don't or not.
It's the patrons' call, the bosses, right?
Bring them in there.
If they don't want it, then I gotta go distribute the same and your stuff's not selling.
And then action gets taken, right?
But the truth is, it's those people in those seats that make those decisions.
And that's what Friends in Little Places is going to be.
So here's the deal, man.
If you want to come to Friends in Little Places, come in.
Come in with love.
Come in with tolerance, patience.
Come in with an open mind.
And it's cool.
And if you're one of those people that just can't do that, I get it.
If you ever are one of those people who want to try it, come.
Let's go have some fun, okay?
So I don't know how to explain it any better than that.
other than what was just said.
So are we good?
Good.
There you go.
So are we good?
Good.
Garth Brooks, not making it complicated.
Hey, this is what I am.
I'm not changing.
Everybody's welcome at my concerts.
Everybody's welcome at my bar.
And if you want to be a part of that, join us.
And if you don't, hey, that's fine.
You do you.
But I'm not changing.
And the way that he puts it out there, not confrontational,
not call anybody names, but just stay drawn a line saying, I'm not going to change.
And I think we need more of that in these times like we have now.
You don't have to be an ass about it, but just say, this is who I am.
I'm inclusive.
I like everybody.
And we're going to keep playing our music, going to keep doing our show.
Stay tuned, Maggie Dawn is next, followed by Pete Schwabble.
They'll have two more words for you in the text to win contest.
A minute left to do team TEAM for our word today.
And also don't forget the Badgers play tomorrow at Michigan.
Maybe they can pull off the upset.
I hope so.
Pre-game show on Civic Media's network at 9 a.m.
and Brewers taking on the Cubs for the NLDS game one starting at 108 tomorrow afternoon.
Have a great weekend.
Whatever you're fighting for, whatever you believe in, do not give
up, keep banging your drum, and play
the MacArthur books for you as well.
See y'all Monday.
