Nick Slupski
Farmer’s Market Kickoff (Hour 1)
Jim and John talk about Meditation and National Tea Day before diving into a discussion about Brett Favre's controversial documentary on Netflix, which they critique for lacking new insights and not balancing Favre's negative press with his charitable acts. Nostalgia hits with talk of classic TV shows like Cheers and the comedic genius of Leslie Nielsen. Cheese Curd Nick joins to preview his food offerings at the Farmer's Market on Broadway. The market runs every Wednesday night from 3-8pm.

Flexing Muscles and Mulling Over the Draft

Eat well, and work hard in the gym. No revelations there! Then Nick Slupski rejoins to talk more about the draft. Listeners and business owners chime in with their thoughts and experiences last week.

Food Trucks and Football Fans
The NFL Draft may have dazzled TV viewers and diehard fans, but local businesses and food trucks faced a rough reality. John and Jim dissect the disconnect: with 600,000 visitors expected, many food vendors were left with excess stock, some losing big. "Cheese Curd Nick" joins to give his take on what worked and what didn't. Pittsburgh, take notes: balancing hype with realistic expectations is key. And remember, the crowd's focus is the draft, not local eats.

Ice Safety
Nick Slupski with The Dog House hangs out for another segment. Plus, Tom Drzewiecki from Bayside Ice and Marine Recovery calls in with very important information about ice safety. Tom says that with the temperature swings we've been seeing, the ice conditions get treacherous in just a short period of time. They call it "honeycombing.", and it makes the ice extremely dangerous!

A Wet Wednesday
Crazy winds and rain start the day, and snow is expected. We guess winter isn't over yet! It's Cheese Doodle Day, Absinthe Day, and Ash Wednesday. This week is also Veterans' Week and Chocolate Chip Cookie Week. More talk about Lent, and Pączkis somehow rolls into whether or not anyone likes prunes. That turns into a Quick Poll and we find out that 75% of Maino & The Mayor listeners do NOT like prunes. Then, another poll was conducted on the type of tattoo Jim should get. The winner: Liberace on his buttocks! Nick Slupski from The Dog House also joins the show to shoot the bull!

“Cold As Ice”
As Foreigner said "It's As Cold As Ice" out there! Even colder. Air temperatures in Northeast Wisconsin were at -11 at the show's start, with a wind chill of -31. That doesn't stop Nick Slupski from The Dog House from making it in with some great cinnamon rolls for Jim and John. Check out Ida Wierzchowski on Facebook, she made them! It's also "Eat Ice Cream For Breakfast Day", which sounds yummy to us. And it's "Drink Wine Day." We don't mind if we do!
