Maino continues to hunt for his 30-point buck, so Nikki Z. sits in with The Mayor. In the paper today, there is a poll that states Green Bay is in the top 12 best places to live and the top 11 for cities to retire. It's pretty cool stuff! Jim also tells us about one of the city's former mayors who only had a 4th-grade education. (I guess it doesn't take much to get the gig.) Jim also has an idea for a Christmas card for Todd. (Todd doesn't do Christmas cards...so this should be interesting.)

Book distribution will be held in December in partnership with the Green Bay Salvation Army Holiday Assistance program.

Jen Metcalf from Downtown Green Bay swings in to talk to us about the Peace Tree lighting, which is coming up on Wednesday, and the Holiday Parade, which is coming this Saturday. We also found out there will be a "booyah battle," which Jim is all in on. Jim and Nikki talk more about how to make the holidays special and the fact that the warmer weather and the late Thanksgiving day this year will make the season fly by...so now is the time to get in the spirit of the season.

Maino's at deer camp, so Nikki Z. sits in with Jim. We start the morning off talking about the Packers, the Badgers, the Bucks, and the Herd. Jim talks about taking his real estate license online. He claims he aced the tests but hopes they don't check to make sure he read the text and watched the videos (cuz he didn't). Somehow, the conversation turns to holiday plans, and Jim steps up with ideas for making YOUR holidays special.

David Pietla swings by to talk about his new recording studio in Appleton, SourceTrack Studio.

Then we talk ice cream with Shannon Simon from Cedar Crest Ice Cream. The company puts on a yearly contest for Wisconsin 4-H clubs to create new flavors of the yummy dessert. Jim and John are trying to come up with a few ideas for ice cream from which they could profit.

The Mayor, Jim Schmitt, must head out to a meeting, so the lovely and talented Nikki Z. sits in with the boys. Plus, it's Football Friday courtesy of Burkel's One Block Over! Today's special guest is former Green Bay Packer Bill Schroeder! Not only was he a great team member, but he has also been a great member of our community. Bill mentions that when you're allowed to be a part of a platform like the NFL, you need to use it to do good things, and he certainly has done that. Then, in our Heights Pub & Parlor LIVE Music Series, we feature the music of Paul Hanna. Ashley is also in from Heights to let us know what specials are in store for us this weekend and the live music they will feature. (And Maino goes crazy over her shoes.)

Friday morning meanderings begin with talk about meat sticks. Yes. Meat sticks. (This IS Maino & The Mayor, after all). The conversation turns to "fat clothes". It's a great topic: what would you do? If you lost weight, would you get rid of your "fat clothes," or would you keep them with the possibility of gaining weight again? They guys revisit the story of John melting a plastic spoon in his soup. Jim admits to burning soup on the stove. He took a nap and forgot he was cooking. Lisa Hale joins from NEWisco Weekend to let us know what's planned for this weekend's show, which is all about libraries and books!
