Maino and the Mayor

It’s a Trucker Thursday, and the morning meanderings are all over the place. From burritos (it’s Burrito Day), and scooping poop (it’s Pooper Scooper Week). We find out that Maino’s family used dog poo as fertilizer on their vegetable garden. That answers so many questions for all of us! The guys also do a quick poll on whether our listeners are more familiar with a couple of songs: Merle Haggard – Mama Tried or Wayne Newton – Daddy Don’t You Walk So Fast. Maino felt the winner would be Merle. The Mayor picked Wayne Newton. The winner, according to our listeners: Merle Haggard. Hands down.

Then, Annie Bongiorno and Kristine Blum bring the energy from Altrusa Hospitality The hospitality program was born of a request from the St. Vincent Cancer Center to The Altrusa Club of Green Bay to assist with the readying of a 3-bedroom, donated home on Porlier Street. The group helps provide a place to stay for out-of-town family members of hospital patients. Altrusa is looking for local homeowners to consider offering their homes to guests during the draft. Twenty-six families have already offered to help!

No more political ads!! I think we’re all happy with that. It’s Peanut Butter & Jelly Day, and the chatter is about whether chunky or smooth peanut butter is better. And also whether or not grape jelly is any good. (Todd thinks it’s great because he grew up eating his mom’s tomato jelly. Yuck!) Then, Wayne Stiegelman from A-Frame Acres joins the guys to give some insight into a recent story about millions of bees dying. Although Wayne doesn’t have the complete answer, there are thoughts that it may be another virus. More studies will need to be done. However, Wayne teaches the guys that bees are needed to pollinate most things. (Our listeners were surprised that the guys didn’t know that blueberries and almonds, among so many other things, all need bees.)

Working with Feeding America, Delorean is involved with several upcoming events to discuss what can be done in our communities and food drives to combat the situation. One of the events is the Packers Superfan Food Drive coming up at 1st and Goal in Green Bay on Wednesday, April 23rd, from 7-10pm. He will also attend an Advocacy Day in Madison with Feeding America. A very eye-opening segment! Another eye-opening segment included Greta Gaworek and Sarah Kubiak from Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Northeast Wisconsin. The organization is always in need of “bigs”, but they’re also promoting the “Big Draft 25” which is pushing to gain 10,000 Bigs in 60 days. Locally, they need just 32 more bigs to meet their part of the nationwide 10,000 goal.

The hour starts with a visit from Michael Bina, who has come up with a great idea as we all prepare for the upcoming draft. The Cheesy Name Hall of Fame is about tying football players, teams, and media personnel to great-tasting cheese from Wisconsin and the world. He even came up with great names for the guys: John Maino Murazzano & Jim Schmitt House Swiss. We LOVE it! Then we’re joined by Cari Josephson with the Walk To End Alzheimer’s and Jamie Damm with Future Business Leaders of America. The Alzheimer’s Association has collaborated with FBLA students at an event taking place in Green Bay this week. FBLA is supporting the association by spreading awareness & education, fundraising, and volunteering. It sounds like a great partnership.

Happy Tuesday! It’s a meandering kind of morning. The conversation starts with the Brewers and the horrible start they’re having to the season. The start is historically bad. Then the guys move on to talk about the NFL vote on “the tush push”. Will it be allowed? Stay tuned to find out! Then Chari and Kon Knueppel call in to discuss that their son, Kon, Jr., will be a top draft pick this year in the NBA. Kon has played for Duke, and it’s predicted he’ll go to the Miami Heat in the 10th round. We’re excited to watch where this young local man goes in the future!

Kristine Schuetze with the NEW Zoological Society joins the guys to talk about things to look forward to at the NEW Zoo. New projects and upgrades are on the way, and Kristine talks a bit about the need for community involvement to raise money for the upgrades and improvements. Kristine also brings Drew Dinehard, Curator of Animals at the NEW Zoo, to share information on one of the biggest stories to come out of the Zoo since its inception: The two otters that broke free and are currently on the lamb. The good news is that the animals are used to this type of weather and are likely thriving in the wild. (We also learn a lot about animals by John Maino, who, as one listener texted, “is no Marlin Perkins”.) Then, Chad Janowski, Executive Director of the Brown County STEM Innovation Center, talks about the programs available at the center. He also promotes the STEM Family Day that’s coming up on April 12th.

The final day of March is upon us. The morning meanderings take us from Karen Carpenter to Liberace, from Cracker Barrel to coal piles. And then Civic Media Meteorologist Brittney Merlot joins to give us a look at the forecast for the week ahead. She also discusses the ice storm that has tens of thousands of homes without power in Wisconsin. According to Brittney, it looks like more winter-like weather is in store for us this week.
