Here You Are Wausau

A too many shady things have happened recently in Marathon County and within its governing board. In this episode, we are catching up with it all.

The city of Wausau’s brain trust strikes again! It now illegal to consume beverages containing alcohol on The 400 Block before 4 PM until mid-October 2018. Smooth move, Exlax. Want to know how we really feel? Check out this week’s episode.

There were no mentions of makeup or colored wigs, but there was far too much paisley, ladies denim, and yellow in our wardrobes. We’re talking with Joe Johnson about growing up as high-fashion punks. Eat your hearts out Kardashians!

Tom Jordan’s band 20 Watt Tombstone just came off a national tour. We sat down with him to talk live music, musicians, and guitars.

“She’s got that?! I’ve worked as hard as he has and I ought to have that, too. I guess I’m not a good as those people.” Deep down, we’re all a bit self-conscious about our self-worth. This week we’re talking about Social Comparison Theory and lots else.

One of our many vices is bags. Messengers, rucksacks, or laptop carriers — if it carries stuff, we’re in. This week, we’re discussing what we like and don’t like; what works and what doesn’t.

This is how we honor the passing of Prince.

Concerts have defined both of us, one way or another. Dino saw Sinatra when he was six; Eric’s first was Vanilla Ice. And yet, for as vast as those differences are, both of us could talk music for hours. In this episode, we talk about the shows we have seen, what makes them great, and what makes them crappy.

Dino is a little punchy from doing this many podcasts in four days, and editing them all as well. But, the guys try to wrap up what they thought about the Mayoral race, as well as the interviews.

Dino spoke with three of the candidates about their run for Wausau’s Mayor, Jay Kronenwetter, David Oberbeck, and David Prokop. Kronenwetter was interesting for the fact that someone would talk about a full-scale shift in priorities for a municipality, rather than the normal focus on economic development. He seemed to have a service-orientation frame of mind.
