MM: We're very loyal in Milwaukee. Milwaukeeans and people from here don't like outsiders that much. We're not welcoming to them or whatever, so I think that this station is so Milwaukee and that Greg and I are local (is important) -- I lived in Minnesota for a number of years, too, but -- I mean, if you listen to the way I talk, you know I'm from here.

OMC: Right.

MM: And I drink a lot of beer. Plus, there are no other stations on the air right now that play '60s and '70s (music). There's no ... station.

OMC: Do you guys listen to the music that you play? What's your personal music taste?

GJ: I do. I grew up with it -- in those formative years, 8, 9 years old when my mom was listening to this stuff. I know it's a little bit of an education for Meg, but she's singing along. She likes the songs.

MM: Well, yeah, because -- obviously I'm about a decade younger than Greg -- but I grew up with my dad listening to this music incessantly and screaming it at the top of his lungs, so I know the music. Is it my taste in music? No. I like the top 40, alternative and country. I like all kinds of genres of music. Everybody likes to hear that upbeat stuff in the mornings.

OMC: What are best and worst things about the Milwaukee community?

GJ: The best things. I like the community feel. I think everybody -- it's like a small town, a big town. You know what I mean?

MM: Yes, yes.

GJ: Got the small-town feeling. You could be from Glendale and you're still like neighbors, even when I live in Oak Creek. So if you're at Summerfest or something like that and you're from Glendale it feels like you're neighbors.

MM: That is very true, though, because like I said I lived in Minneapolis and that is a big city. Very friendly people. I love the people up there, but this does feel like a small town. Everybody knows everything about Milwaukee. Everybody knows where everything is. You can get from one side of Downtown to the other in literally three minutes. You can't do that in any other city this size, so that's really nice. The negative for me, which I know is the opposite for you, is the weather! Greg loves the weather.

GJ: I love the weather. The negatives? I can't use the beach. That makes me angry, because I live in Oak Creek now at Bender Park, and it's polluted. That's the only thing that makes me angry. When we first moved out to Oak Creek, they had this beautiful park down there, Bender Park. Nice. Our kids were younger at that time and we were going to go down there. Well, I don't think we've been down there since and that's been like six years ago. It's just terrible. So that's the only thing.

OMC: What about TV? You guys have the DVR set for favorite shows?

GJ: Definitely "The Office." I like "My Name is Earl." I like "Dancing With The Stars, " (but) it's more of a family thing.

Kids even get a kick out of that and "American Idol." I'm in that mold right now. I have a 10- and a 12-year-old, so it's whatever they watch and then, of course, sports for me later on.

MM: Yeah. Mine would be "American Idol," "Dancing With The Stars," definitely "The Office." I watch that. And then that new show "Back To You" with Kelsey Grammer.

MM: With anyone, anyone? Can it lead to something afterwards?
