We start the morning chatting about Saturday night's Duke loss. We're heartbroken for Kon Knueppel and the rest of the Duke team. We all felt like family after chatting with his mom and dad last week on the show. Then Civic Media meteorologist Brittney Merlot joins the guys to give us a glimpse of the forecast for the week ahead. Jim and John put her on the spot for an extended forecast for the upcoming draft. While we're still a bit too far out to know for sure, she does expect some warmer temperatures, but a possible storm system could move through at some time that week. She told us to stay tuned for more details next week.

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.

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.)

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.

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".)

We continue our special program honoring the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War (March 29th). Gail and Kim Nohr with Veterans 1st of Northeast Wisconsin join Jim and John to give us an update on the tiny home village they're trying to build to help housing insecure veterans have a stable start toward owning or renting their own housing.

We offer our respect and thanks to Kim and Gail for their hard work on this very important project. Then, Joe Aulik from the Brown County Veterans Services office joins the show to encourage Veterans to do a yearly check-in with the local offices to see what services and offerings are available.

A musician who has been part of our Friday morning live music segments, Isaiah Dreissen, joins the show to talk about a few "projects" he has going on. First off is the Cedars Project. The "Cedars Project" in Little Chute refers to the Treaty of the Cedars, a 1836 agreement where the Menominee Indian nation ceded approximately 4 million acres of land to the U.S. government, opening up the Fox River Valley for settlement. Isaiah has created a special space to enhance communities through art and commerce. He also fills us in on the 4th annual Cedars Festival. It's coming up on September 12th and 13th and will feature music from Feed The Dog, the Joseph Huber Trio, and more. We're excited to watch this grow organically. Then Dennis Peters, and Ashley McDermid join for the Heights Pub & Parlor Music Series. This week we feature the music of Chris Hendricks. From Chris's website: “Chris’s life story is like a beautiful ballad that has fluid movement, graceful moments, and inspiring emotions. He is an artist, an inspirational speaker and believes passionately in sharing his message of loving kindness, hope and the value of each and every person’s life..." His music and energy are just amazing! So blessed he joined us this morning.
