Hey everybody, welcome back to the Shenanigan Shuffle, the podcast where chaos meets comedy
and everything in between.
I'm AJ and like always, I got Dennis, Jackson, and Josiah here at the table with me and I
believe Jackson's going to give us an overview of the episode we have coming today.
Yeah, alright.
So basically today we've got our icebreaker questions presented by AJ as always and then
we're going to have our mini segment which involves some of our own renditions of some
stories which yeah, that'll be kind of interesting.
And then we also have our main discussion which is going to be local legends and hidden
gems so just kind of getting to know some of the crazy things you might not have known
around Oshkosh and the Fox Cities.
So yeah, it's going to be an episode full of laughter and maybe some tears.
Tears of what?
Tears of laughter.
I'm not ready to.
Alright, but.
AJ, you got a nice...
Yeah, we're going to start episode seven with an icebreaker and it's going to be if animals
could talk, which one would be the most entertaining?
I feel like probably a platypus.
I would say a donkey just because I think of Shrek every time and I think of the donkey
from Shrek so that's kind of what I would be thinking.
So like, yeah, because I mean, I don't know, but like also a monkey too.
I think that'd be funny because like I wonder what goes on in their little brains and what
they would have to say.
So, okay, I can just imagine this little high pitched thing screaming at you and like a
little John John.
Yeah, they do that.
Screaming at you.
Wow.
John John Lehman.
Yeah, the monkey's going to keep trying to dap you up.
Okay, Jackson, you have one.
I'd say probably platypus because they're like a mammal, but also like an aquatic creature.
But they lay eggs, but they're mammals.
No, platypus are mammals.
Yeah, they're the only mammals that lay eggs.
I didn't know that was possible, but yeah, they kind of got like these worlds that collide
kind of.
Multiversal collision.
The problem is all I can hear is from Phineas and Ferb.
Okay, I'm going to go.
Once more of a simple answer, it would be really interesting.
I don't hear dogs because you live with them every day.
I just want to know what he's thinking sometimes.
Sometimes he does some crazy things.
He'll go to the garbage can, pull out a tissue and just start chewing it up.
I just want to know what he's thinking when he's doing that.
I just want to hear his thought process as he goes about his daily things.
It's his primitive instinct.
He just wants to eat something that's white.
Yeah, it's so untrue.
He said tissue, but he just wants to eat something and just attack.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
I'm going to go with...
So when I was growing up, there were by my house, there was this open field that hadn't
been developed yet.
So you want that field to talk?
No, no.
There was a massive...
Speak to him.
There was a massive prairie dog.
Okay, quiet, quiet.
There was a massive prairie dog colony out there.
So they would pop out of the hole and I've always wanted to know what the prairie dogs
were trying to say.
Hey, AJ.
I was just going to say, hey, AJ.
Or maybe they're saying something more interesting.
Got to go burrow down.
Bye bye.
They got to go pop up, pop down, pop up.
It's like whack-a-mole.
I bet they'd say, got to go listen to the field.
Is that AJ so badly wants us to listen to him?
To whispers.
Okay, we're going to move on now.
I guess we can.
I'll lead us into this.
The mini segment, our mini segment today, it's titled Once Upon a Mike.
So we each gathered a collection of story prompts.
There's definitely not enough in here.
Oh yeah, there is.
Some story prompts.
And we're going to have...
We're going to take turns drawing it, drawing the prompts from the Hot Chili Cup.
And then you got to finish the story.
And so yeah, that's what we're going to do.
If this Hot Chili Cup returns.
So who's going to start us off?
Josiah is.
I am?
Josiah?
The chili?
Hot Chili!
All right.
Oh, are you going to pick for me, or are you just going to kind of mix them around here?
I'm just going to mix them up.
Okay.
Oh, someone just pulled them all the way.
This is a really good one.
This is the right way to start.
Those Jacksons then.
Yeah, it definitely is.
In the Fox River Mall, as Paul Blart and AJ Richardson patrolled, a mysterious single
echoed.
Wait.
Oh yeah, is that mysterious single echoed?
Jingle.
That's a jingle?
That's a J.
It's a lowercase J.
Can that not say echoed?
It says, yeah, it says echoed.
But the word is jingle.
That says echoed.
You're pointing at the wrong word.
That?
That says echoed.
Let's just read the prompt here.
No, the word before it says jingle.
Oh, a jingle echoed.
Oh, okay.
It's kind of, guys, dyslexia.
In the Fox River Mall, as Paul Blart and AJ Richardson patrolled, a mysterious jingle echoed.
To their surprise, they stumbled upon an ice cream truck.
And the vendor...
In the mall?
Yeah, I guess.
It's a small one, okay.
What?
Oh, it's a small ice cream truck?
Like one of the Kona Ice trailer.
Yeah, trailer.
Should have said ice cream truck.
True, a pop-up stand.
Ice cream stand.
Ice cream truck.
Okay, continue.
My bad.
And the vendor insisted on giving them a free sample of peanut butter party, a flavor of
ice cream.
It's really good, actually.
The vendor was mysterious and made an unnerving laugh when he gave it to them.
Suddenly, he pulled out a bomb.
That is the biggest clip flop.
I was going to say, this is like a story from Jack's past that he's reliving, but the bomb
kind of threw him off.
No.
We went from peanut butter party to pull out a bomb.
I like this because that means me and Kevin James are coworkers.
Anyway, you got to finish this story.
You got to finish this story.
What happens?
All right, you ready for this?
Tell us what happens, bro.
All right, Paul Blart, you know how he's got, what's the thing called, the little roller?
The scooter.
He's got a scooter.
No, it's not a scooter, but yeah.
He does a little, like where he jerks side to side.
He's like, he does that thing, and then he fakes like he has a gun, and then AJ starts
running him over with his scooter because they're both on scooters.
Yeah, yeah.
And then he tackles him off.
He does more like the flying things where he's like in the air, like, you know how they
have like the slow-mo sometimes like in the air and like action scenes.
AJ does that.
He tackles him.
I remember.
And then, then little did he know the bomb was fake.
It was just his peanut butter blast ice cream.
Peanut butter blast.
Concealed in a bomb.
This was very cinematic.
So.
I really wish we had video so we could show you Joe Saia's act.
I know he stands up and he's, oh.
Did Paul Barth actually do that in his movie?
I can't remember.
I think he never stand up.
No, he like.
Anyway, is he always on the moped?
He's going on a date.
He's just like, hey lady.
They do that way.
So smooth with the segway.
I've never seen that.
No, they did.
They did.
He's so smooth with it.
On the segway, he drives around his like date or whatever.
Yeah.
Something like that.
Yeah, they're like driving through the mall.
Okay, I'm going to pick out a card next.
You go ahead and do that.
Give it a little shenanigan shuffle.
Thanks.
I know the bomb got pretty morbid pretty fast, but like.
I just.
I can tell you were running out of paper.
Yeah.
I was running out of paper and something down.
This is a, I think it's another Jackson.
We got both Jacksons right away.
Once upon a time, a man named Vincent was eating a bagel.
All of a sudden the bagel disappeared before Vincent knew what to do.
His cat died.
But next.
So that's the end of that.
Is that all I wrote?
Yeah.
Okay.
So yeah, I don't know what happens next.
That's really up to you.
Okay.
So here's what happened.
Wait, hang on.
The moral of the story is the cat died.
Well, I don't know.
That's what he left you off with.
And the bagel disappeared.
Oh.
It just disappeared straight out of the sun.
Here's what happened.
What actually happened in this story is there was an alien.
There's an alien saucer flying overhead and it had its little zapper bappereys that came
to like boop, boop, boop.
And it took away the cat and his bagel.
And so what happens next is Zack, or what's his name?
Vincent.
How do we get Zack from Zack Attack?
Vincent gets zapped up and he gets zapped up into the alien ship.
And up in the alien ship, the aliens are actually fairly nice people.
So he meets with them, has a little sit down.
And they have some juice.
Some kind of apple juice.
He makes a negotiation with them.
They keep the cat.
He keeps his bagel and they let him back down on earth.
They want the cat for like a spearmental purposes, you know.
But yeah, so basically that's what happens.
Vincent gets his bagel back and life is good.
And he now has the freedom to go adopt a dog because he doesn't have a cat roaming around
the house.
So, wow, beautiful story.
That was great.
Sorry, way to make it.
Way to save Vincent.
Way to make it.
Who's going next?
I'll go next.
I want to draw a white one because I know the red ones are mine.
Aren't they, are they not all red?
No, because we printed ours.
In a futuristic society where emotions are regulated by a government issued chip, a rebel
group discovers a way to override the system.
As people start experiencing their true emotions, chaos erupts.
They must decide whether to embrace their newfound freedom or restore order to the world.
Oh my blouses.
A conflict on your hand.
All right.
So they're like, so, so it's like, so like they rebel against like the government, right?
Because they put the chip in the, in the people.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
So these dudes are going to be like, well, let me preface that real quick.
They're rebels.
I don't know.
Preface.
Yeah.
That's so hard to preface.
They're rebelling because before the government was controlling all of their emotions.
Now people are finally able to like experience their true emotions and some of their emotions
are they're probably mad at the government for putting chips in them, you know, but now
they have freedom to go about their own lives.
They got rid of the chips, but the government is still in control.
A group of people were able to override the system.
So the government's still in control, but they just overrided it.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
So what they're going to do is they're going to amass an army and with this army, these
people are going to have the most beautiful, most cinematic march on the government's capital
ever and they are going to go in and they're going to tear the government apart from the
inside out and establish a democracy where people can have their emotions however they
want.
I feel like if you're tearing the government, if you feel like you're tearing the government
from the inside out, I feel like you can't just march in there with an army.
Why not?
There are millions of them.
Because that's just rebellion.
Well, they are a rebel group.
Yeah, they're a rebellion.
But I'm just saying like you can't really tear it inside out if you're marching in
there with an army.
Well, if they want to, they're going to do it.
They are.
Because when I think of tearing a government apart from the inside out, it's got to infiltrate,
you know?
Infintrate.
Fine.
Okay.
All right.
They'll do something else.
They're going to sneak into a nuclear bomb silo and then they're going to nuke the capital
and then everyone in the government dies.
Wow.
Thank you.
Wow.
That's a good turn.
They were really that many of the government?
All of them?
Yeah, because they hadn't actually felt true emotion.
We were going from peaceful protest.
It wasn't peaceful protest.
Everyone still died.
Oh, there was death.
In technicality.
I said they're going to march on the capital with the most cinematically beautiful march
and they all are army and they're going to rip apart the government from the inside.
I was still picturing like peaceful.
I'm just saying in technicality.
No, no.
I was saying with like weapons.
Oh, that's unfortunate.
And they were going to take back what's theirs.
Yeah.
So they're feeling no emotions from these microchips.
No, because they overrode the system.
So now they feel their real emotions.
Now they feel their real emotions.
Oh, so before when they're like.
Do you want to read it?
The prompt that I was given?
You know what?
Let's just have Jackson pick out a prompt and go.
Pick out a prompt and let's keep moving.
So you can, you're not going to select any of yours anymore.
Yeah.
Thankfully.
No more Vincent.
This one's confusing though.
But we're moved on.
Sorry, we moved on.
We're experiencing their true emotion.
Here we go, guys.
Here's a new one.
In a world where we're all just like, oh, we're just like, oh, we're just like, oh,
we're just like, oh, we're just like, oh, we're just like, oh, we're just like.
Captain Chuckle found himself in a big, in a big pickle.
His arch nemesis Dr. Gloom had unleashed a wave of gloominess threatening to suck the
joy out of the city.
As Captain Chuckle prepares to confront him, he realized his sidekick, Punslinger, had
misplaced all their punch lines.
Now armed with a whoopee cushion and a rubber chicken, Captain Chuckle faces the challenge
of defeating Dr. Gloom with humor.
So Captain Chuckle and Punslinger seem to be quite the pickle here, but how are they
going to get their punch lines?
Well, basically, Dr. Gloom stole their punch lines, plot twist, and now that they don't
have their punch lines, and Dr. Gloom has them, they have nothing to defeat him with,
but then they remembered that their friend Dry H. Umer, he was just sitting at home and
thought he had this feeling inside that he maybe could help them, and so he went to go
help them, and with his dry humor, he was able to make Dr. Gloom feel so empty that
he was weak, they overpowered him with the power of three, and they took back the punch
lines and then they punchlined him.
Wow.
That was really good.
I really like that ending to my story, and they punchlined him.
Guys, be prepared for an AJ Richardson short film about the missing punch line coming out
soon.
It might as well.
Joe's going to pull another card here.
Ooh.
An inventor creates a device that can bring fictional characters to life, causing chaos
as characters from literature and movies enter the real world.
How will the inventor and characters deal with their new world, and can they find a
way to send everyone back to their fictional world?
So this is basically like Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse.
Really?
Yeah.
How?
Because-
It's not just Spider-Man coming into the world?
No, but I'm saying-
Here's what I was thinking.
When I was writing this, I was thinking like superiors and you have like the evil and good,
but then I just left it open to like everyone else because then you got like Harry Potter
coming in and then you got like, I don't even know who else, you know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like-
Lex Luthor.
All right.
Lex Luthor?
Oh, yeah.
So-
Luthor.
With the help of Paul Blart and AJ Richardson.
Oh wow, we make our turn.
Me and Kevin.
So AJ and Paul Blart are trying to return everyone back to their original worlds.
So they're like dimension traveling.
And while Paul Blart is still distracting them with the fake gun and like juking them
out with his Segway, AJ has this thing that's attached to his Segway that he just goes,
that like shoots like almost like a, it's like a ray gun, but it teleports them back to their
world in dimension.
So you're telling me that Paul Blart is juking out like Iron Man and everyone with his Segway.
Yeah.
Paul Blart is unmatched.
You don't understand.
Yeah, wait, but why is Paul Blart playing Iron Man?
He's juking out Hulk.
I don't know.
Maybe they don't want to go back to the world.
They want to stay here.
What if-
Paul Blart is juking out, uh-
I didn't say Iron Man though.
Who's the great man from the Avengers?
We don't know.
Batman's allowed to stay.
We don't know who these fictional characters are.
All of them.
Every fictional character.
All of them.
Batman's allowed to stay.
Star Wars and AJ are unmatched.
Does that mean Elmo came as well?
Elmo's in here, yes.
The Mighty Eagle and Paul Blart.
The Muppets are in here.
The Mighty Eagle and Paul Blart are the dynamic duo.
Nothing can defeat us.
Dumbo is there.
Well, Dumbo-
Dumbo is easy to fit back into.
Dumbo joins your team.
Clifford the Big Red Dog is there.
Well, we also recruit Clifford.
Batman.
Also joins your team.
Batman joins our team.
No.
Batman joins our team.
Batman's the greatest villain.
Batman's allowed to stay in our world.
AJ, you have to cry a tear of sadness.
Batman's Batman.
Alright, who's up to pick one now?
Dennis.
Yeah.
Alright, this is probably the last one.
Yeah, I think we're running out of time for this segment.
Yeah, I agree.
So, let's hope we get a good one here.
I got an option.
I got two white ones and a red one.
I'm gonna go with this one.
Okay.
Well, we know it's AJ.
It is AJ.
That means that both of Josiah's didn't even get picked.
Nope.
It's not say okay, cause.
Okay, let's see what AJ has for us.
Maybe this, this would be a group one.
Okay, we're gonna corroborate on this one.
Okay, alright, we're gonna corroborate on this one.
Once upon a time, a clumsy, what does that say?
Clumsy magician?
Oh, I can't spell.
A clumsy magician.
Yeah, you spell it with a T.
A clumsy magician accidentally turned his cat and duh into a talking toaster.
The cat toaster named Whiskercrisp developed a witty sense of humor and decided to enter
a standup comedy club competition.
Little did they know the toaster punchlines were about to take this town by storm.
Guys, what happens with, so is he still a cat?
Like, he's in the form of a toaster?
Yeah.
Yeah, so what do you do?
But he can like meow still?
Yeah, Whiskercrisp.
And he can talk.
Whiskercrisp.
So there's just a walking toaster walking around, but it's actually a cat.
What if we just don't care and we kick the cat and leave it somewhere?
No, it's a toaster.
You're kicking a toaster.
He's a toaster cat.
He's Whiskercrisp.
Wait, what if we just unplug him?
Oh, wait.
No, isn't his jokes being good a good thing?
Cause the clumsy magician was never able to get any fans, but now with his cat toaster
he can get fans.
That's one way of looking at it.
He also has a walking toaster.
Or does Whiskercrisp become the most greatest super villain of all time and the magician
has to defeat him?
I think that's what AJ wanted this to turn into.
He goes, maybe it's a good thing.
Or did he become a super villain?
Whiskercrisp, whatever his name is, banded together with a bunch of other cats and toasters
who are inanimate.
But the cats are controlling the toasters and now they have a legion of cats and toasters
armed with projectile toast and they take their revenge out on the magician because
he turns.
Oh, is that how they like, instead of guns, they fire pop tarts at people.
Oh, I love this.
All right, now that we are going to get out of this.
So now it's up to the magician, Paul Blar and AJ.
Paul Blar did not end up in this.
Paul Blar actually had a weaponized toaster on his Segway, believe it or not.
Yeah, that's his weapon.
And he was firing the brown sugar pop tarts, the most powerful kind.
Oh, those are so good.
Oh, no.
Yeah, I know.
The only good ones are chocolate.
I would submit to Paul Blar.
Have you had the hot punch or nothing?
I don't even like pop tarts.
Wrong.
I've never had a warm pop tart, believe it or not.
Me neither.
Moving on though.
Our main discussion is.
It might be our mini discussion at this point.
No, it's our main discussion.
I want to talk about this.
All right.
It's just a discussion.
Yeah, it's just a discussion.
There's no cap on how big or how little the discussion has to be.
We don't discriminate against our discussions.
Our discussion today is titled Local Legends and Hidden Gems.
So we've come together.
All of us have researched, really only Dennis has researched and provided for their group.
You know, like we can do a group project and everyone just beats off your work.
Anyways, Dennis and the group has researched some like local legends, stories, people,
places, some of the best that Oshkosh has to offer, I'd say.
In terms of their history and their present and maybe their future.
I don't know.
But so we've just got to listen.
We're just going to go through the best ones we have and discuss them and maybe you'll
learn something new today.
So starting us off, AJ, do you want to start us off?
Yeah.
Well, I have two good ones that I want to do.
I'll just start off with one.
And so there's the Enchanted Forest of Tyrell's Island.
And it's nestled along the shores of Lake Winnebago.
Tyrell's Island is rumored to be home to an enchanted forest.
Locals speak of unusual occurrences such as trees that seem to whisper and glowing lights
flickering between the branches.
The island is said to be a place where the natural supernatural realms intersect, creating
an underworldly atmosphere that draws in curious adventures.
So I've actually been to this island.
I have to actually.
I where I feel like I have.
Where is it?
It's it's off the shore by my house.
Is it?
I thought Tyrell Island was the wasn't it that walkway at Menominee?
It's that random island on like by Menominee Park.
I thought I don't know.
But I thought it was because there's two islands out by my house.
Oh, no, it's the one with the walking trail.
Yeah, it's the one that goes like walks around and usually sometimes they may like to have
a big loop.
But when I was like water, there's water.
Oh, yeah.
They closed it.
OK, yeah, I have been here, but I'm not the island I was thinking of.
No, I walked this one.
I did too.
But it's gone now because I actually do remember.
Yeah, just part of it.
I do remember it being pretty, pretty creepy.
It just felt a little weird.
It's like actually.
No, yeah, it was really cool.
But I'm saying there were actually weird aura.
Jackson almost got sent to the world of the.
There's room to be in the supernatural realm.
Wow.
So are we calling this like a force of truth or a lie kind of thing?
Is that what we're doing?
I don't know that we can really like debunk.
We can't diminish.
We can't diminish the reputation.
But you see, Oshkosh is very like Oshkosh has been around for a while.
I don't like a lot of historical and like it's like a mysterious.
No, they used to be like a Native American tribe here, right?
Or whatever.
Yeah, Menominee.
And so like.
Menominee Nation.
I think one of these legends is about like, yeah, down here.
But anyways, yes, there's like a lot of history to this.
And I guess people have said that that's there.
So that's interesting.
That's cool.
I'm glad I didn't know about that when I went on the trail.
All right, now I want to go on the trip.
Well, it's pretty much.
It's like hack on.
Yeah, I went all around and now it's like all of us underwater.
Yeah, it's weird.
So they're like collapse.
Ah, it did.
Supernatural.
And actually, like if you go to it, it used like the like the loop that used to go all
the way around.
It's like actually just be above water and like high above water.
Yeah, that's why.
That's why.
Like it's weird because it just like is all down.
So they're they're closing the the supernatural dudes closed the bridge to.
Yeah, actually funny story.
We were once at Terrell's Island the only time we went and we were walking along it
and we got kicked out or we were going to be kicked out.
This guy was coming along with a little golf cart, which basically was the width of the
path and you're just surrounded by water.
Was it a supernatural golf cart?
Yeah, it was crazy.
And this old man is like trying to like run us off the road.
We didn't have any space.
He's like, guys, we're closing.
If you're not out, I'm locking you in.
And he was like giving some other people rides.
He was not giving us a ride back to our cars.
And we were like probably about still a mile away.
It was a long trail.
I went there.
There was a guy on us like because apparently I think there must be a guy like it's like
all the maintenance on there or something.
Yes, but they also hold like.
It's real.
They also hold like means or something to some guys like, yeah, we have a board meeting
this evening.
So we need you guys off the trail soon.
That's kind of creepy.
So the trail from the supernatural realm has been kicking people off the island anyway.
Actually, we want another one.
Yeah, I want to do some.
I want to talk about the cave.
OK, I want to.
I really hope this is true.
But apparently there's a cave in Menominee Park.
I don't know where I can honestly say I believe this just because they found that like Indian
reserve underground of Menominee Park.
Did you hear about that?
Yeah, it's there's there's the men in Menominee.
Like they're redoing that one of the roads at the park.
They're making new trails.
They found the burial sites and it was like burial sites and like they found like a bunch
of like like bases and stuff that date back to the time there.
So they stopped construction.
And that's why the EAA likes the likes the Christmas lights move to EAA.
Usually they're at Menominee Park.
I've heard of this before too.
I've heard of it.
Let me let me read the book.
It says deep within Menominee Park lies a forgotten cave that few dare to explore.
According to a local tale, the cave was once used by indigenous people for sacred ceremonies,
ceremonies over time.
It became hidden and it became hidden.
And those who have ventured inside speak of strange echoes and a feeling of being a walk.
OK, we got to go there.
According to rumors, a cave is a gateway to another realm.
Every one of these ends in like a secret realm.
Big secret spirits.
Where did we get this information?
Because this is just like legends.
That's what the indigenous people believe.
That's what the people believe.
Well, but even like this one about Algoma Boulevard says that there's like spirits.
Yeah, because the people say that they...
Well, let's move down really quick.
They say that it's haunted by a ghost of a young woman who tragically lost her life in
a car accident many years ago.
They claim to see this figure walking around the Boulevard at night.
So they report hearing faint whispers.
The scary thing is, so I like live right there.
I was almost right over there.
I know.
But the thing is, it's surrounded by cemeteries on like both sides of the road.
So that's why there's probably a lot of ooey gooey wishy washy things that people think.
But yeah, back to the cave.
This is interesting.
We should like find out about this.
I want to go.
I think there was a cave at one point, I want to say, but they probably built it up.
It might have just been like a hole.
Yeah.
It's like interesting though.
I know.
It'd actually be pretty cool.
Because the thing is with the cave is like, I don't know, like how old, like this is probably
pretty old.
So I would, it's just hard to say.
I do think out of all these legends, this one is probably like the realest one, the
most real.
Um, that, yeah, that's interesting.
I like that.
Um, Jackson, do you have anything on this list that you want to point out can be any
of these people?
I have one.
Legends, Josiah, you got one?
Let me see.
I really like the legend of Lake Winnebago's serpent.
I've seen it.
I've seen it too.
What?
No, not the serpent.
Yeah, I've seen a serpent.
You're funny, I'm not funny.
I've seen the serpent.
I wanted to talk about this one because I've seen it.
All right, I'll mention, I'll talk about this and then you can give your opinion.
Lake Winnebago, one of Wisconsin's largest lakes is said to be home to a mythical serpent.
According to local tales, the serpent is a guardian of the lake and has been spotted
by fishermen and boaters for over the years.
Descriptions vary, but most agree that it's a massive creature with a long coil body.
Some believe encountering the serpent brings good luck while others see it as forewarning
of storms.
Well, when I saw it, a storm didn't come.
So you saw it?
Yeah.
What do you look like, AJ?
It was a long, massive serpent type thing, like a snake.
So now see, this just sounds like it had little coils on the outside of its snout and it like
jumped out of the water.
Okay.
I feel like, yeah, but I didn't jump all like high.
I thought about the Loch Ness monster.
No, no, it like jumped out and then like this.
It didn't go like back.
Yeah, like it's back, like came out of the water.
It's like the typical.
No, no, no.
You could see that it's a long, massive.
So like it kept going back.
Yeah, yeah, it was long.
I'm pretty sure that's from Kung Fu Panda.
No, that's like a Chinese dragon.
Wait, so AJ, you're being like legit.
I'm being legit.
I feel like though I'm being legit.
I think you would have told me about this before.
You can ask my father.
I think this is just probably like a sturgeon or something.
Maybe a massive sturgeon.
Dude, imagine how big that thing is.
Well, it's just like a humongous.
I mean, yeah, I could probably believe that there's a serpent or something, but they're
probably just making this a bigger deal.
Well, there's not really many freshwater like snakes and Wisconsin gets pretty cold.
And if there were a freshwater snake, it'd be somewhere.
I think it's something big in the water.
Yes, but I don't think it's a serpent.
I think the serpent is.
Well, whatever it is, I've seen it.
Maybe like a whale or something.
Lake Winnebago gets 20 feet deep.
So disgusting.
A whale is like 20 feet tall.
The whale would be beached in like a lake.
Whales are also still water.
Well, yeah, I guess so.
Mammals might.
No, that's dolphins.
Whales are mammals.
Oh, yeah, I knew that.
Let's move on to people.
Let's talk about people.
Important figures that stem from Oshkosh, Bogosh, Wisconsin.
You never heard Bogosh?
Yeah, I have.
It's a brand.
Well, I'm going to start with number one.
The main man himself.
One of the more recent of Oshkosh's prominent figures was Tyrese Hallenburton.
Went to Oshkosh North, played college basketball at Iowa State, got drafted by the Kings 12th
overall.
He was drafted by the Kings?
You didn't know that?
I actually didn't know that.
I bought my brother a Kings jersey for him.
Anyways, then he got traded to the Pacers and he's led the NBA in assists.
Really good player, probably the Pacers' best player.
Yeah, he recently, not recently, two years ago now had his jersey retirement in Oshkosh.
My brother went to that.
That was cool.
But yeah, he's a big guy from Oshkosh.
Yeah.
Didn't all his teammates go with him to Oshkosh too to please jersey retirement?
Some of his teammates, yeah.
Was he there?
He was still with the Kings.
I remember him now being with the Kings.
I think he was with the Kings.
Harrison Barnes was there.
I know that.
Was he there in the box?
I don't think he was.
I thought he was.
I think Buddy Heald was still.
That too.
Yeah, but that's pretty neat.
You know, Oshkosh, get even with him.
That's really neat.
Get some love from the sports world.
This man I think I've met before, Carl Steiger, an artist and philanthropist in Oshkosh.
Carl Steiger, a prominent local artist, made significant contributions to the art scene
in Oshkosh.
His artwork, often inspired by the natural beauty of Wisconsin, has been celebrated both
locally and beyond.
Additionally, Steiger was known for his philanthropic efforts, supporting various community initiatives
and art education programs.
Yeah, I've heard of this man.
I think there's a Carl Steiger Foundation.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think I've heard of that too.
Yeah.
And like, I think there's a scholarship for like, if you're an art student or looking
for like a music degree.
There's Carl E. Steiger Park in Oshkosh.
That's what it is too.
That's along the, that's along the Wheelwash Trail.
Wheelwash.
It's actually one of our, Wheelwash, which is one of our own places.
But do any of you want to point out any of these other people?
I guess to quickly go over the EAA founder, Paul, someone want to help me out here?
Paul Berenzi?
Paul Berenzi.
I'll tell you my dad, he was born in Oshkosh in 1921, founder of the Experimental Aircraft
Association, EAA.
He had a huge passion for aviation.
He created the organization that is going to the world's largest community of aviation
enthusiasts.
And he has the, yeah, it's now the EAA museum.
There's, it's a big thing.
It's like one of the main-
He contributed a lot to aviation.
It brings the most people to Oshkosh.
It probably will.
And it's the biggest aviation event in-
It's pulverizing-y.
In the US, maybe the world.
I'm not sure.
It's huge.
So that's big for Oshkosh.
Paul Pob, Paul Berenzi.
You know, and Alex here-
That's kind of cool, here, that I'm looking at.
One of the cool places in Oshkosh or whatever.
It's the Grand Opera House.
It was built in 1883.
It has a lot of performances and whatever, but that sounds kind of cool.
I've never actually been there.
You haven't?
I have.
It recently got renovations-
Is that the one off Main Street?
Yeah.
Down at-
It got renovations a couple years ago.
From the outside, it looks like any other building on Main Street.
It's like way bigger on the inside.
It's actually really nice.
Yeah, I think it'd be cool to go there.
1883, that was like-
A long time ago.
Another cool thing in Oshkosh, the Wheelwash State Trail.
I've been biking on this before.
It says it's 41 miles.
It was a former railroad cordier, which was turned into the trail.
Walking, biking, it goes along the lake.
It just goes forever.
I'm biking once.
It goes a while.
Josiah, I feel like he'd wind up the Titan Stadium.
Honestly, it's not that historic.
Why would the thing be historic?
It's just one of the places to go when you're on Shaffer.
It's a cool place to go.
It's one of the high school events.
Yeah, that's a good one.
We get a chance to play.
I mean, I've never actually played there, I think.
We played baseball there.
I'll tell you not on this list of places to go today.
Leon's.
No, I'll just say Oshkosh Arena.
Oh yeah.
The Heard Arena.
I like the Oshkosh Arena.
It's neat.
It's a cool thing that we have an actual G League basketball team in Oshkosh.
Yeah, that's awesome.
I like that.
All right.
Well, I think that's going to be it for this episode of action.
That was cool.
That was an awesome episode.
I learned more about the town that I don't live in.
We thank you guys so much for coming along to ride with us on this week's Shuffle.
