The guys start the morning off talking about the path of Milton and concerns over people not leaving and waiting it out. That rolls into a conversation about flood insurance and home prices in the area. It's Beer & Pizza Day, Stop Bullying Day, Moldy Cheese Day and Fire Prevention Day. Mainno remembers NOT winning a school contest about fire prevention. (How does he remember that stuff?) The guys also touch on the death of Major League Baseball player Luis Tiant.

After coming to Wisconsin, Cameron and his family thought they might stick around for a handful of years, but they fell in love in Northeast Wisconsin...and they're still here! He also shares that the Barneveld tornado in the early 80s is one of the reasons he became a meteorologist. Then Jason Lowe with the Oshkosh Mid-Morning Kiwanis swings in to talk about the NEW Top Dog contest that is going on and teaming up with several area breweries and shelters on this one.

Former news reporter/anchor and current professor of media at UWGB, Danielle Bina, is on the show this morning! She and the guys talk about education in the past and in the present. But the conversation goes back to silverware and place settings. She also reminisces with Maino about the changes in media compared to what it's like today. Then, artist Nate Rose joins the group to talk about some of his local artwork. Some of it contains "tiny" paintings on the inside of Altoid containers. While his day job is in higher education, he loves doing landscapes, and his "tiny" art is amazing!

The meanderings begin with a discussion about the Packers' Heritage Trail statues. They've been a staple in downtown Green Bay for a number of years, and development may mean having to move them to another location. Meetings today and Tuesday next week will likely finalize what will happen with that downtown treasure. Then the guys discuss the money in the NFL. Maino questions why the NFL is raising money for Hurricane Helene relief when the league has plenty of money to donate directly. Later in the conversation, we learn that Jim thinks Vermont simply has a lot of "green". And then the revelation that he owns 12 sets of china and several sets of silverware. Who knew?
