Unlucky Doctor Stories with Todd and Peter (Hour 2)
The Todd Allbaugh Show · Fri Oct 17, 2025
Good afternoon, everybody.
Todd Albaugh along with Mr. Aaron Zommerer, our producer and engineer.
Welcome into a TGIF Friday edition October 24th.
October 17th, 2025.
Here, welcome into hour number two of the big broadcast, six minutes past the hour of three o'clock from the home studios at the intersection of State and Fairchild in downtown Madison.
Welcome in, everybody.
Glad to have you along.
Xamarin, let's take a quick look out there on the Sam Davidson street cam outside a beautiful fall afternoon.
Hey, these guys kind of overcastle a sudden poking through there, but warmer, warmer than I thought.
So, you know,
Ohio State, get it right yet, are in town.
And we don't have time, I have to do a segment on this today with the breaking news.
The only question for me with Ohio State, number one team in the country being in town to take on the Badgers, will Ohio State score 50?
5-0.
Will they score 50?
What's the over under?
Do you take the over or the under at 50?
Uh, I'm not wishing it, but I'm just saying it's not, not going to be pretty.
I'm, I'm afraid here at Camp Randall, but we'll have the game for you on several of our stations across the Civic Media Radio Network on WRCE, WLAK, and Amory RCE, of course, which is on center FHR in Wisconsin Rapids and, uh, on WR, WRPN in Rippon.
Uh, kickoff time is right around 2.30 this afternoon on several of our Badger radio networks.
Of course, the Brewers
Hope still Springs eternal must win tonight crew down Oh to three Or three to always everyone look at it out at Chavez ravine Dodger is gonna try to get the wind and the sweep out there in California
So that one starts a little bit later on the seven o'clock ish.
Let me see.
Let me check my facts here on the Friday game 705 is the first pitch local time here Wisconsin pregame show at 738 on our Brewers radio network stations as well quickly top story this afternoon from our newsroom University was this comes from channel 3000.com the CBS affiliate in Madison University Wisconsin Plattville
will be ceasing operations at its Baraboo-Saw County campus effective May 22nd of next year.
The decision came after a quote-unquote careful consideration and that student staff and faculty are supported throughout this transition.
Again, UW-Platteville Baraboo closed.
After the end of next year, we'll continue to follow this into next week, of course.
But right now at nine minutes past the hour of three o'clock, lighten it up just a bit.
I got my, I did a uniform change, a costume change during the break.
I put my Green Bay Pabby as unlike, unlike the Badgers this weekend.
I feel good about the pack.
Joining us via his car.
Driving throughout Wisconsin, one of the stars and producers of the great new film, No Packers, No Life.
Once again, here is Ty Morse.
Ty, how are you?
Great, Todd.
Happy to be here again.
We are absolutely happy to be here Zomers and I last saw you at the world premiere of No Packers No Life at the Majestic Theater one of the great Marcus Theaters in Waukesha and not that our two cents means a whole lot But let me tell you I was blown away by it.
I loved it and I told Craig yesterday Craig Benzene the director that I think for me two things a
Whichever one of the Japanese cheer team was in the car at night driving by Lambo right after he'd gotten to Green Bay and he looks out
Yeah, it's beautiful.
I mean and there was so much of that as they came it was just like this wonder amazement magic for them and I think it helps us Through that lens, you know kind of rediscover, you know what yeah, how lucky we are where we live as Wisconsinites, you know
just remind people that have not heard this before what the heck's the matter with you but very quickly the synopsis that Tai goes to Japan meets these Packer fans his cheer team at an intersection and ends up discovering this whole new world in Japan and then you and your buddies bring what about 30 of these folks from Japan to Green Bay to the Mecca of football to Lambeau Field and
And it's just enormously moving.
One of the things that I haven't asked you yet, Tai, is were you there specifically that time for a separate business?
Or what's your connection with Japan beyond the film?
Yeah, I was there for business.
I'm there often for business.
We we manufacture there.
We sell products into the Japanese market I have a joint venture there Suzuki who's in the film is actually one of my business partners So we do a lot in the health and beauty space and that's why I was there and but it was actually a day off for us It was
what we call the Hanami where you go and look at the cherry blossoms.
You have some drinks, I brought a guitar, we're playing music, we're drinking some whiskey and soda and we wander.
down the street to go do some karaoke, go sing some Bon Jovi, and that's where I found these guys.
So it was a business trip, but day off, and the day off rolled into seven years of making this documentary.
The least expected moments, right?
Look, the film is fantastic.
It's beautiful to look at.
It's so meaningful to be able to look at something that we love here in Wisconsin, the Green Bay Packers, and look at it through this lens of this jet.
and his cheer team and these folks coming here the first time.
I know you had an event last night in Mequon with Mason Crosby, who's in the film incidentally.
That's a great, I'm not gonna spoil that, but there's a great moment with Mason in there as well that I really liked.
But you have an event.
I cried last night again too, Todd.
I cried and I saw it again.
It's so cool.
It's so cool.
It's so cool.
Mason's such a great dude in that moment.
I mean, that's why people have to get to the theater to see it.
They're gonna cry when they see
Yeah, there's special screening tonight in Green Bay.
Only a few tickets left for that and only a few tickets tomorrow night in Madison.
It will feature the film and then Q&A at the end with myself and the director, Craig Benzine.
It's going to be a good time.
It just, you know, people should draw on their packer gear.
I grab a beer and just come sit and enjoy the ride.
Now, those few tickets that are left, you can go to nopackersnolife.com.
N-O-packersnolife.com.
Had a couple of people like, is it K-N-O?
N-O, nopackersnolife.com.
And it could also, and then the show opens up today, right across many theaters in Southeast Wisconsin, Green Bay, Madison La Crosse.
i yeah i think that's what's about it's about getting into the theater i mean as wisconsinites
celebrating our heritage, who we are, but also just seeing the passion of these people that have come all the way from the other side of the world to experience our world.
And sitting in the theater with other Wisconsinites experiencing, I mean, it's one of the best times I've ever had in my life.
There's like, it's so much laughing, some crying, but it's just, it's such a blast.
So I just recommend the best way to see this is to get to a Marcus Theater and just hang out.
We saw for those out there that saw last year that uh, just a bit outside the Brewer's movie, you know what we mean?
Because when people are cheering together, yelling together, you cannot get that when you're sitting at home alone, you know, which is most of Todd's life, but get out and
enjoy it
I mean, everybody's laughing in the theater.
We just did it last night.
It's a unifying film.
And the other part of it was just unexpected for me, Ty, and to hear folks speaking in their native language with the subtitles,
I don't know why I thought there would be more English in that part of it, maybe because I'm Americanized, but really what it reminded me of a lot was the first time I saw Dances at Wolves.
And whatever people think about Kevin Costner, he was very deliberate in making sure that the native language was on spoken and English subtitles.
And to hear that authenticity on the Japanese side, that meant something to me.
Yeah, I think it's their native language and they're the best way that they can passionately speak about it is in their native language.
But it's wonderful hearing them speak in Japanese but then seeing the subtitles and there's so many great moments that I think the subtitles work so well because they're so eloquently talking about things and you get to see it right there on screen.
It's beautiful.
mean, that was great.
Yeah, it started as three, then it was almost 30.
And they all rolled with it.
And, you know, I heard somebody else describe it as like, it sounded like a foreign exchange program, putting them in homes and homestays and- Right?
Right?
Yeah, but I also think, like, as Wisconsinites, we're really proud, but I also think that the movie, whether or not you even like football, there's just a really beautiful human element of it.
It's people connecting around, you know, any type of passion and then building these deep relationships.
And I think that's why the film can speak to more than just Packer fans or people from Wisconsin.
And that's why I'm hoping more people come out and see it.
That's
There's there's not a lot of quote unquote football footage in this.
It really is focused more on the human element of the movie and these relationships to how they grow.
And, you know, people come from another country is like, what are we getting into here?
And the amount of trust, right?
The trust from the Japanese cheer team and the trust from your friends and family to welcome them in.
And it's all bound together by just happens to be this team of green and gold.
Yeah, and you know for them that trust that was a huge leap from a Japanese perspective the details were so vague I mean they say that in the movie they plan so much if you if you send details a week before
you're getting together with people, that is like last minute for them.
So the fact that we didn't have an itinerary for them and they were getting on an airplane and just arriving, they really had to just offer themselves up to fate.
But as they've all said at this point, it was the best decision they've ever made.
So.
I really hope people get out and see it again.
If you want to join Ty and Craig at Green Bay tonight, go to nopackersnolife.com.
A handful of tickets left for the event tonight to meet the director and producer and star of the film.

Yeah.
Yeah, we went to see that too after you guys told us about it.
well.
You just saw it this afternoon at the palace in Sun Prairie and loved it.
There were several times where I got teary eyed and especially when one of them met Mason Crosby in person.
Teared up and when they were with their Super Bowl rings getting pictures.
Yeah.
And when they first, yeah, when they first got to Green Bay and at night, they took them to see, you know, Lambeau Field and how they got so excited.
I've been listening to you for a long time.
You have a great show.
Okay, you too.
It's 27 minutes now past the hour of three o'clock.
So what do we do?
We don't really have time for what's worse.
Yeah.
How about just the fun fact?
All right.
Very time once again for our new segment, Wisconsin Fun Fact.
Well, dive once again for another Wisconsin Fun Fact.
That's the official state ballot, by the way.
Dive for another Wisconsin Fun Fact.
It's a brand new segment.
We're still working on it, you understand.
And it probably shouldn't have been at the top of the hour, but we had a lot of other things we had to do.
So here now, we're gonna give you one of these every day.
Wisconsin Fun Fact for October 17th.
On October 17th in 1908,
the catastrophic Pestigal Fire reignited again, which reminds me of a 2016 presidential political plays that reignited again this year because Democrats couldn't put a campfire out right now.
You see the correlation, the Pestigal Fire reignited, and now you got Trump reigniting, and the Democrats couldn't put him out, couldn't put the campfire out.
You
All right, this might be a short-lived segment, I don't know we'll see we'll see anyway That needs to be workshopped a little bit, but that was another edition of Wisconsin fun fact.
All right, we're gonna come back
It's been much too long since we've talked to our friend Peter Rapun from Epom's world, but a heavy news week lots going on gonna be a heavy weekend Lots going on we need to just we need to feel need to laugh a little bit folks need to laugh nothing wrong with that So we're gonna come back and I will tell you the quick version.
I went to the doctor right before the show
I'm because my glands were swollen.
What do you call it?
Underneath your chin here, you're, you know, there's a word for it.
I'll find it.
I'll explain what happened and why this could only happen to me on the other side.
And we'll talk, we can review a humorous edition with Peter Rapun.
Don't go anywhere.
It's the all ball edition for a Friday.
Thank goodness on the Civic Media.
Welcome back to the Tunnelball Show on the Civic Media Network.
35 minutes now past the hour of three o'clock.
Little gypsy music.
I will tell you why that's important.
But first, we welcome in our friend, our ongoing contributor, the one, the only international man of mystery and comedy, Peter Rapine.
How are you, Peter?
I'm doing great, Todd.
It's been much too long.
I missed you too.
He is the managing editor of E-Bombs World, and we're going to get into a humorous look at the Week in Review in just a moment.
But Peter, it turns out we haven't told each other these stories, but apparently we both have doctor stories.
So I told at the top that we had some serious news we had to take care of.
I am feeling the best this week.
What are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what
the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the, what are the,
a
I don't even have time to get stoned.
I mean, please.
And I certainly don't have gold stones.
So I said to him, I said, what causes salivary gland stones?
And he looks at me quizzically and he says,
Boy bad luck And a full bird MD tells me the cause of my salivary stones are bad luck And I said what can I eat for medication?
No, he goes you know I recommend he goes get some lemon heads and suck on those So this is my medication lemon head ropes from CVS
Have
This is real.
He was he goes I'm gonna take a culture.
Just make sure you don't like strep throat or something Two big q-tips push them out.
He takes them out.
He goes
Wow, that's really impressive.
You don't have much of a gag reflex.
Oh my gosh.
I wanted to say, well, I guess practice makes perfect, but you know.
So Peter,
I've been good.
Honestly, I walked by a city MD the other day and I saw a sign for the, you know, flu shots.
Oh yeah.
So I'm feeling good, but I think I'm going to get ahead of the cold season, get my flu shot, maybe get a booster and make sure I don't get sick this winter.
Because I never get one.
I always get sick for like two weeks and it sucks.
So I've lived this year.
I get ahead.
Are you a part of your Halloween, or do you?
Yeah, I love to put on a good costume.
I love to go out and dance, and Halloween's kind of the best.
It's the best party holiday there is, I think.
Yeah, it's a good time to have by all.
But funny that you have a doctor's tour, because I also have a really good doctor headline for
Which, this doctor is clearly winning as a parent, but they are not winning as a medical practitioner.
The accusation is that a neurosurgeon in Austria allowed their daughter to man the drill during surgery on a patient, which I guess you're not supposed to do.
If that breaks all the medical codes, all the medical do's and don'ts.
But imagine how much fun that 12-year-old had going into work with her mom and then
He was very, very nice.
Very nice.
He introduced, he took a lot of time, asked me questions.
So, you know, all that's, all that's really good.
That's just that.
Yeah, I have I have stones in my salivary glands.
All right, Peter.
All right, Peter Rapine.
Next
So I'm just going off of what you said, which is fine, but go ahead.
It's fine.
It's fine.
I just I thought I was trying to do it by memory.
They have been sent to you.
It's armor sent to me.
I've got kidney stones.
I've got salivary stones.
So yeah, 29 year old named Petros.
I think I'm saying this right.
Right.
comedas went out for a swim in the ocean in the springtime and sadly never returned.
The only thing is is that this guy is on the ballot for a upcoming election.
However, since he is still technically missing and not deceased, he can't be taken off the ballot.
So the New York County is hoping that as the Democrat running under
on their ticket that people still vote for him, which allows them to hold a special election afterwards.
That's fascinating.
All right.
claim is that raising canes has throw away chicken tenders that if you ask politely, they will just give you.
And these chicken tenders are ones that might have been ugly, might have been, you know, not.
up to their standard to serve customers.
So we did a little investigation and the headline reads, does raising canes have a weird chicken bucket?
Well, sadly, if you've ever worked in a kitchen, you know, there are like food safety standards and food that's been sitting out at room temperature for more than, I think, four hours needs to be discarded.
Can't be served to anybody because bacteria can grow on it.
So the bucket probably, while contains a bunch of free chicken, also contains a bunch of deadly bacteria that you shouldn't eat.
Basically ruled that it would cost them too much to go through their entire fleet of Boeing 737s and other planes and fix all the little minor dings and dents that they Accumulate over their lifespan Which isn't really something that you want to hear as a traveler.
I
Yeah, those are particularly fun.
No.
All right.
Next.
Oh, it's only got a minute left here.
We got a minute.
Let's let's hold on.
Let's hold on.
We'll come back and do more headlines of Peter Ray Pine.
Very quickly.
Relationships going OK.
Everything
Peter Rapine is our guest this half hour.
He is the managing editor of E-Palm's World, news of the weird, wacky, wild, and at times spicy.
There's a new spicy section.
Uh, as well.
So check it out at EPOM's world.
He comes to us every other week with news, the weird, wild, the wacky.
All right, Peter, uh, Ray Pine headline.
All right.
Headline reads, there's actually a scientific reason for why cows love jazz.
There's actually a scientific reason of why cows love jazz.
Do tell.
Uh,
So I don't know if you or your zomers have ever seen it, but there are countless videos of people playing jazz for cows on the internet.
I saw a recent report in the BBC this week that there's a farm in the UK that regularly brings small jazz quintet to their farm to play for their cows.
And it turns out that the National Institute of Health actually did a study on what the music
leanings or preferences of livestock are, and they found that cows, chickens, and pigs prefer jazz music over rock and roll, heavy metal, pop, and all comes down to the fact that cows specifically have pretty stressful lives.
Think about it, you know, they're caged up, things are loud, also, you know, the whole being raised for food kind of thing probably isn't, you know, very fun.
And so why jazz is so popular is because it's smooth and it relaxes them.
If you're going to play music for your cows or your pigs or your chickens, you want to choose something with a nice slow tempo.
You don't want to make sure you don't play it too loudly.
Because if you do all that, the cows will love it.
And it's pretty proven.
So like Miles Davis in the barn.
video proof of cows liking bluegrass music because I went out in the field and played my banjo and they all came up and checked it
done this
It's on what you call it YouTube.
So I have proof.
headline Next one is fast food Arby's is being sued for false advertising because their sandwiches look nothing like the pictures If you've ever been to Arby's and if you've ever seen Arby's ad you know there is a
a giant gap between what you advertise and what you get.
And a judge this week actually ruled that a class action lawsuit against the brand can go forward because the, you know, what you're going to advertise and what you get is so far apart.
Part of the lawsuit even notes that Arby's in their photos depicts like medium rare or like rare roast beef when in reality it's fully cooked.
It's
The real thing never matches the picture.
And wasn't there a Sesame Street bit back in the day of like, you know, that waiter Muppet, you know, and the guy going, that doesn't look like the soup I ordered.
I'm not familiar with it.
That's pretty good.
All right, go
Where the heck are they hiding?
I know that's what I'm saying.
So estimates say currently there's like 8.2 billion people on earth but a recent study published in Nature Communications estimates that rural populations get undercounted in censuses.
One of the examples they cite is that in 2012 Peregrine had a census that completely missed a quarter of the population.
So if you extrapolate this for around the globe, because roughly 40% of the world's population lives in rural areas, and they
estimate that these areas are undercounted by 54 to 84 percent, that there might just be an extra billion people out there that aren't on the record books.
Times are tough.
Time's are tough.
Peter Ray, find your fantastic and find all these stories at E-bombs World.
Zommer's Craig Benzine, Ty Morris and everybody else.
Thanks for a great week.
Relax, stay safe out there this weekend.
Peter, we'll see you in a couple of weeks.
Whatever you're fighting for, whatever you believe in, do not give up.
Keep banging that drum.
We'll see you Monday.
