It was April of 2020 and we thought we have the first person we knew on the podcast who had Covid. Here's 3 minutes of that interview in this flashback highlights episode.

November 2022's highlight minisode takes us back to the early days of the pandemic. Since we couldn't be in studio back then we had to get creative. This interview features an extreme adventurer and author, Kevin "Ziggy" Ziegler live from Antarctica.

We don't normally get too deep into politics, but tonight we bring in local pundit, Chad Hohner to get his unique insights into the upcoming mid-term elections. Chad brings us everything from a foundational explanation of the structure of our government to the most hotly contested races including, a candidate that may be on the run, a race between a candidate and his own doctor, an election that might not even be allowed to take place and much, much more! Trust me when I say, you will not here election analysis like this anywhere else! Enjoy!

Our guest today is video producer, Steve Fanizza! Steve talks to us about the ins and outs of video production and some of the unique challenges that come along with the job. He also tells us some interesting stories, like what happened when he met a baseball legend (or 2), how Steve's name ended up in a book and much more! Enjoy!

Author Steve Uu joins us today to discuss his book - 20 Words to Banish From Your Vocabulary. As you'll see, apparently Steve's book is about removing certain words from your vocabulary in order to better communicate... Does it work? You be the judge! Enjoy!

This week you get to hear our "Behind the Scenes" take on episodes 11-20 from Season 2. For only the fourth time in Bait and Switch history, we give our thoughts and insights on each of these 10 episodes, as we go "Guest Free" and chat amongst ourselves. Enjoy!

Today's guest is Yoga and Strength coach and owner of https://www.SimpleEnduranceCoaching.com, Paul Warloski. We grill Paul with questions like - Is Yoga a cult? Do you have to be flexible to do Yoga? How does running help your bone structure? We also chat about why so many people are looking for coaching, his "triangle of health" and much more! Enjoy!

This weeks podcast is a re-release. It features my friend and Jim's friend , Tim Okland. Tim passed away last week. He was my first call when I needed a smile and I know he called me for the same reason. Those calls could often happen for days on end and often times last for hours. He told me many times that he loved this interview we did with him. It's us goofing around with a true friend. Tim - I love you ( which you knew ) and I miss you

September 2022's Highlight reel features our Season 3 interview with Chris Bowens. Was he unwittingly the world's first covid patient?

September 2022's Consolidated episode features Bryant Mason. I've combined both his original interview and his Season 3 follow-up. The skit we did with him in Season 2 featured a character that was so much fun that we had to do a follow up.

We're back with the second half of our interview with Wauwatosa Mayor, Dennis McBride! This week we talk to Mayor McBride about the state of our fine city of Wauwatosa. We cover a lot of ground this time, including the financial state of the city, where our revenue comes from, why there's such a big housing shortage, why Wauwatosa is the place to be (believe it or not, it's not just because the three of us live there), why the city purchased the Boston Store building in Mayfair mall, campaign finance and so much more- we even talk about the absolutely insane cost to build a parking garage- you won't believe it when you hear it! An important note of caution to our listeners - normally we try hard to make sure there is nothing to learn from our podcast, but we forgot to tell the Mayor, so you'll probably accidentally learn something. We offer our deepest apologies! Enjoy!

This episode we welcome back the mayor of Wauwatosa, Dennis McBride! Mayor McBride talks to us about how his background has prepared him for dealing with critics. We also talk about the changing landscape of politics, his relationship with the local media, and he clarifies some common misconceptions about the power of the mayor in small cities like Wauwatosa. Enjoy!

Our friend, Jeff Grayson joins us this week for a preview of the upcoming Packers season! Listen in as 3 armchair quarterbacks analyze each element of our beloved football team and give our predictions for the year! Enjoy!

Our guest for this episode, Bill Humphreys, is a pioneer in American cycling. The passion and enthusiasm he has for cycling comes across clearly in our interview and that should be no surprise considering he's not only been a competitor, but also a race promoter and advocate for the sport itself for close to 50 years. Listen in as Bill shares stories of his career with us, including the twist of fate that got him started with cycling, what it was like coaching Greg LeMond along with many other premier riders over the years and of course, exactly what he wants his pal "Joe Football" to know about cycling! Enjoy!

The highlight reel for August 2022 features fan favorite Tim Okland returning in season 3 during the height of the pandemic via zoom talking turtles, sand hill cranes and his important contributions to society.

The Consolidated release for August 2022 features our interview with a Hostage Negotiator who maybe focused too much on being frugal with the taxpayers money perhaps to the detriment of the kidnapped. You be the judge.

Listen in as our panel of experts (comprised of long-time friend of the show, Mitch Teich, Bait and Switch co-host, Chris Beyer, Chris' son, Will Beyer and cycling legend, Bill Humphreys) discuss which riders are on the rise and which ones are not, how the new crop of young riders will handle this year's race, who the strongest riders are for each team, of course their podium picks and much more!
