Maino and the Mayor

In April, Bob Dylan is coming to Northeast Wisconsin with a show at the Weidner Center in Green Bay. The guys discuss ticket prices, and that spurs conversation about shows that you missed that you kick yourself for missing. Johnny Cash, Elton John, Paul McCartney, George Carlin, Tom Petty, and the Eagles are shared by our listeners. Jim announces he’s lost quite a bit of weight. We’re so proud of him, but we find out he’s taking Ozempic. Nothing wrong with that, and we’re happy he came clean. Jim says he’s taking a cruise, and that sparks conversations about cruises and vacations, in general.

An old friend of Maino joins the show to talk a bit about her broadcast history. Jo-Jo Shutty-MacGregor talks about being the first female traffic reporter in Metro Detroit back in the day. She tells the story of the station she worked at that was just over the border in Canada, CKLW. Her stories of being at a powerhouse radio station back in the day were extremely interesting. We actually received requests to have her back on the show, and Todd thinks she should fill in one morning when the guys are off! We found a great website that offers some great background on Jo-Jo. The excitement on the show continues when we welcome Colleen Rortvedt with the Appleton Public Library to the show. After a very large construction project, the library is about to reopen with expanded space and programs. They have the grand opening planned for Saturday, February 15th. Maino is excited to use the new card catalog.

We have several weeks until Spring and Spring Training, but Bill Morgan with the Green Bay Blue Ribbons baseball joins the show to discuss the new year and new season. The Blue Ribbons are a semi-pro baseball team participating in both the Wisconsin State League and the Northeastern Wisconsin Baseball League. Made up predominately of college-age players, the Blue Ribbons play their home games at historic Joannes Stadium on Green Bay’s east side. Bill also shares some history of the team and also Joannes stadium. Then the director of the “Green and Gold Movie,” Anders Lindwall, calls in to discuss the movie. Anders says that the movie is his heartfelt tribute to rural America’s strength and perseverance. The movie stars Craig T. Nelson, and at its core, the movie is a tribute to the unsung heroes who shape communities and preserve traditions through kindness and hard work.

It’s also International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Bubble Wrap Day, Chocolate Cake Day, and National Geographic Day.

Mark Husen from Bellin Sports Medicine is in the studio today to discuss ice safety. Whether you’re enjoying winter sports or you’re just walking down the street, ice safety is so important this time of year. He also just returned from a conference and wanted to put a plug out for local school boards and the amount of work and commitment the members give to the local communities. Mark also offers tips for getting in shape this time of year. Stretching and hydration are his top tips. Then we’re joined by Aaron Ludwig. He’s created a podcast called “Dads with Bacon TV”. While they may talk about bacon, the word bacon is used in the name because it’s Aaron’s nickname. Think a bunch of dads sitting around talking about sports, gaming, grilling, family…all topics that are discussed on the podcast.
