Spencer & Ace

March 25, 2025

Two wonderful local artists are in the studio this hour. First, Spencer Nolan Young, who has painted the famous Packer fences for the past several years, cleats for the players, and many other projects in Northeast Wisconsin and all over the country. The guys try to get Spencer to open up about his plans for the upcoming draft, but Spencer keeps it close to the vest. Spencer also agrees to a fundraising project that Jim and John have created to raise money for the New Community Shelter and a Veterans' Breakfast project. Then, another great local artist, Ace Champion, pulls up with food, flutes and FIRE! He's planning a great cooking class at Paradise North Distillery this Thursday night! He also flambes some bananas foster. (He let Maino do the flambe-ing, and we were all a little worried).
