Rock Fest 2019

Rock Fest 2019

New Wisecrakin' - Las Vegas Trip N Paul Moves to Gilead

Rock Fest 2019

Well kids, it’s the heart of summertime.  And that means one thing for Wisecrackin With Winter. No, not a trip to the water park, the ball game, or the old county fair.  Regular fans know it means a report from the summer weekend of decadence that is Wisecrackin’ and friends’ annual rock and roll camping festival trip.

It’s still Wisconsin, but this year the Wisecrackin Road Show eschews Oshkosh’s Rock USA in favor of Cadott, WI’s Rock Fest. Yep, these guys are pretty darn creative on their festival names, but maybe there’s something to be said for Rock Fest, whose motto is: Where We Just Rock.  That they did, and so did Mike, and his good buddies Producer Paul & Woody.

Mike & Paul will walk you through all the fabulous (and not so fabulous) Rock Fest bands they heard, along with a comparison of the concert site and campgrounds vs. Rock USA.  As if all this wasn’t enough, Wisecrackin With Winter takes you backstage onto a real working tour bus for an interview with members of the world’s favorite Ozzy Osbourne tribute band, Madman’s Diary.  No topics are off limits as Mike explores the inner workings of a hardworking band of rock and rollers.  Special thanks to Tim Hartmann and Mike Setchfield of the band for the great material.

Yes, this episode is the biggest and the best.  We’ve never said anything like that before.  In fact, this episode, including the interview with the band Madman’s Diary, is so good that you won’t even miss not hearing from the Big G. But don’t worry, he’s just fine and will be back soon for your listening pleasure. For now, enjoy killing 100 minutes on this!

Burning Bush

Burning Bush

Burning Bush

Mike welcomes back Richie Barrister to the program, for a fantastic funhouse foray into the realm of Catholicism versus everything else! They discuss Mike’s burning bush, hymnals (please make sure you know the difference between Appolo Creed and the Apostles Creed), and everyone’s love for their Mother-in-Law.

Join them on this adventure into a world filled with buffets, brunches, Sunday worship, and boating on Prior Lake.

Oh yes, if you are available this Sunday, we are looking for anyone and everyone who would like to play pickup softball in Golden Valley. If you find us, you can play!

Summer Recap with Richie

Summer Recap with Richie

Mike and his guest, Richie Barrister, are back to recap the summer, but thanks to Richie’s new found love for bulk shopping, he could not make it to Mike’s Funhouse Studio! Thanks to a certain Apple product, Richie still made it on the show, and he is ready for a good laugh!

Richie tells all about his secret use of Mayo and Oatmeal… don’t miss out, he calls it the “Jackhammer”! This leads into his summer recap of Costco shopping, and listening to Wisecrackin’ with Winter podcasts!

Richie’s favorite stories are brought back in this summer recap special…

Mike gives a summer recap about boating, with the royal family of Prior Lake, and the latest prop damage (which would not have occurred if the wife was at the wheel).

Deb is back, and now she gets on Mike about hitting rocks in the lake!

They discuss the “Big G”‘s Windy City trip, and Mike’s attempt to call in a “kill order”, for his dog, over the phone.

An added bonus, Mike takes a stroll down memory lane to his days at Brown College, with his mentor “Homeless” Jim. Mike describes his vocal training and teaches Richie how to not speak “Minnesotan”!

Enjoy the show, and for those Android users out there, figure it out… Unless your name is Chris LaMotte, because he knows what he is doing.

Riding the Rails with the “Big G”

Riding the Rails with the “Big G”

Today we welcome back our favorite guest…

With a special “Big G Spot” live from the Windy City, we have the “Big G” finally back on the show!

riding the boat with the Big G

Find the Big G Spot… Look close!

Mike gets an ear full about his Dad’s trip to Chicago. The “Big G” decided that “riding the rails” was a smart choice… only if you want to spend some extra time at the St. Paul train depot. Riding the train is no longer a top choice in the “Big G’s” book. Hear all about his delay, and his threat to urinate on the platform.

Once the “Big G” got to Chicago, the trip was a blast! Boat tours, sex talk with strangers, stair climbing, and the Cubbies! BING, BANG, BING!

And that brings us to the sports report… The “Big G” catches us up on the current standings in the Major Leagues, the Twins shortstop situation, and participation medals. Check out the “Big G’s” insight into “doing nothing for something”… Dad’s should just go out and buy the trophies and save money on league fees!

Live on the show today, and riding the coat tails of her Gramps (the “Big G”), we get an extra special report from Emma about participation medals… “DUMB!”

 

Enjoy the show, and for those Android users out there, it may seem as painful as riding the train, but after the first time it will be as easy as riding a bike… Unless your name is Chris LaMotte, because he knows what he is doing.

Periscope Podcasting

Periscope Podcasting

Another big day on the show… Experimental podcast on Periscope! Last night the show was live on Periscope while we tried to get you, yes YOU, the listener, to comment on the show. Check it out here: Wisecrackin with Winter on Periscope

No, I did not take my top off during the show… well, maybe I did.

First up, we want to send a shout out to Yogi! A tough 4th weekend having to send our beloved dog to the doggie bed in the sky. On the show today, a few tips and tricks to make it easier next time!

Another shout out to the USWNT! They won the World Cup and will start the end to all other sports in America! Soccer will dominate, since our women’s team is on fleek! Wait, what! What the f@*# is fleek??? Periscope users seem to know. We uncover the mystery of “on fleek”, on Periscope!

Fireworks… who is dumb enough to use big fireworks wrong? 9 of 10 Americans can do it right, but 1 of 10 are morons. Those morons should just use fireworks the way they are, and we can all hope that we only need to talk about 9 of 9 going forward.

Gay marriage… what’s the big deal??? Mike and the users of Periscope got down to the nitty gritty about the topic… plenty of users commented last night, as this topic was a big hit! Almost as big as talking about McDonald’s hamburgers.

Check out Wisecrackin with Winter on Periscope, but don’t forget to download the Podcast and listen to the show!

Youth Sports are Out of Control

Youth Sports are Out of Control

It’s Tuesday! Nope, it’s Wednesday… Just wanted to let you know that we will someday get back on track with getting shows back up on Monday.

We hope you had a great Father’s Day, and on that note, the Big G wanted to pass along his best wishes and big Bing Bang Bing! He is talking a little time off to enjoy the summer, and he really doesn’t care about the show!

To start, we are going to celebrate the Blackhawks winning the Stanley Cup, since we are originally from Chicago and have major ties to the Windy City. Wait, nope, Mike’s just a flip-flopper!

The “meat” of the show: Youth Sports…
Mike and his expert guest, George, discuss the needs for coaching kids 9 years of age and under.
1) Do we need ’em? Not according to Mike.
2) George is one of the few straight wrestlers in the state of Minnesota.
3) George is a youth sports coach, and he knows the facts…
4) Parents are the destruction of youth sports. They are all delusional that their kid will make the pros!

George discusses the ups and downs of coaching and the parents that sit over his shoulder. Mike and his guest discuss youth sports clinics and camps… are they helpful, or a waste of time at a young age?

Mike breaks down the cost of kids dance and how there are 7 National Champions.  How does that work? It doesn’t!  It is just another way for the dance and sports world to manipulate our wallets.

*** This is the second show that Mike references “Dance Mom’s”.  Obviously it is his favorite show! ***

After you drop your kid off at sports camp, pull your Ferrari off to the side of the road, download the show from your favorite podcast app, and get the inside scoop on youth sports!

Google’s of the Day: McMansions, “Dance Mom’s”, George’s underwear: a Singlet

Raging on the River

Raging on the River

Today’s show sets sail on the Minnesota river with the wife and kid, and Mike’s brother-in-law, Eric, and his family.

Mike spends some time blabbing about NHL Final game 6, and predicted a cup win for the Blackhawks. That’s all anyone else wants to talk about that. He quickly jumps to Lebron James and the injury riddled Cavs. Is Lebron one of the best ever? Mike believes so, and offers his insight as to why it is the case!

Speaking of the Minnesota river, Emma will tell you all what’s up… Shut up and realize that its beaches are the Hawaii of the midwest. Oh, and stay away from Prior Lake; it’s an annoying place to boat. No relaxation, and no where to go!

Speaking of Family…. Our #1 fan, Eric, fills you in about the ups of the Minnesota river, and the downs of lake boating. Do you make six figures? If so, you are ready for lake life, but if not… They don’t want you!

Hockey boating or Banana boating? Eric will fill you in about his great experience with this event! All we will say is don’t hit kids with your boat.

Eric also gives his recommendations for finding your perfect boat, but don’t follow his advice on which football team is best.

While cruisin’ the riv, make sure to “wrap it up” and listen to the podcast!
