Hey, everybody, welcome to the Cribscast presented by Jolly Good.

This is the podcast where we talk to people for and or from the Midwest.

Now, before we get into our guest today, I just want to say that first and foremost,

my heart goes out to all the victims in the Waukeshaw Christmas parade incident.

If you live in Wisconsin, consider donating blood this week.

They've had blood donation shortages ever since COVID, but we, you know,

when incidents like this happen, it can really hamstring supply.

So if you can get out there, it's a great thing to do during the

holiday season.

It is the easiest way to save a life.

And that's not hyperbole and we've got some sites linked up in the podcast

description where you can go and get that done before I jump into my conversation

with Milwaukee artist, Emma Daisy Gertel.

I just want to briefly discuss one other topic.

And over the past week, I had a bunch of people reach out.

Why me to say something about the whole Kyle Rittenhouse verdict.

And, you know, I've said stuff about that in the past.

And as much as I'd want to throw another hot take into the trash heap of

under informed internet hot takes, I'll spare you that.

But I, you know, I'll reiterate that I'm in favor of peaceful protests.

I'm not in favor of under trained civilians playing police officer.

I think if people want to carry, they got a right to do so.
