The Don Rosen Show (Hour 1)

The Don Rosen Show · Tue Nov 21, 2023

Apple just announced that they're gonna make it easier

to text between iPhones and Androids.

Wow.

Yeah, now everyone can be in a group chat together,

whereas people with Androids put it,

wait, you guys have been texting and groups this whole time?

The dating app Bumble says that next year,

they expect to see a surge in relationships

with one person dates someone considerably older,

because those student loans ain't gonna pay for themselves.

Oh, yeah!

Seven long days, and a dozen pounds ago I reached out one night and you were gone.

Don't know where you'd run, what you running to all from all I know

So I want to bring you home

So I'm walking in rain, farming for a ride on this lonely

Can't tuck it back road, I loved you much too long

My love's too strong, let you go, never knowing what we're all

Into the rain, it's for the night

Can't tuck it back road, I loved you much too long

With a rain in my shoes

Oh, yeah, we got rain this morning

It's drizzling out there

So be careful driving, okay, wet leaves

The road gets shiny, and the lines on the road aren't that great

We're proud of losing, let's admit it, they need to be refainted

So it's kind of hard to take it a little easier this morning

We haven't had rain in a while, so we've got rain this morning

It's not Kentucky rain, it's Wisconsin rain, but we've got it

Good morning, I'm Don Rosen, I want to thank you for joining us here

608 at WRJN, as you heard the weather forecast

In case you didn't hear the weather forecast, rain today with a hundred forty-five

Cloudy tonight lows around 34 sunny tomorrow

With a hundred forty-five sunny on Thanksgiving day

With a hundred forty-four partly sunny

And I stay on Friday, black Friday, shopping day

Eyes near 37

Black Friday is really not what it used to be

You know, it used to be the sales started on Friday

Friday morning at 4 a.m. when the stores opened up

They were advertising black Friday deals in October this year

Did your black Friday deal now early

So it's not really what it used to be

We used to broadcast from the Regency Mall on the day after Thanksgiving

We used to get there at, you know, 5 a.m.

And this is when the mall was packed with stores and anchor stores

And now they're ready to tear down, you know, half the mall

But we used to give away a $1,500 shopping spree

We used to give away $500 shopping spree and $100 shopping spree

And we used to have the mall packed with people

When we had made the announcement at 9 o'clock after the morning show was over

This was on our FM station WZY

And it was black Friday

People used to get in, wait online to the mall opened up

And but now it's black Friday deals all the time

So they took away the mystique of it all

Sort of

Hey seven o'clock this morning

We're going to talk to Captain Eddie Williams of the Salvation Army

He's going to be in studio this morning

And we'll talk about what the Salvation Army needs

This holiday season from you

And I'm going to tell you something about the Salvation Army

I don't think you know

I don't know if Eddie Williams even knows

We're going to talk to the captain coming up

At 7 o'clock this morning

610 on a rainy Tuesday morning at Racine

And Thanksgiving is coming up

They have to tomorrow

The average person will eat over 3000 calories on Thanksgiving day

So you might feel like this could happen

But could really

Is it possible to eat so much on Thanksgiving

Your stomach explodes

So when asked an expert the answer was yes

Technically it is possible very unlikely though

The medical term is gastrointestinal perforation

And yes, it does happen

And I'll skip that second slice of pie maybe

45% of Americans say they'd bail on holiday gatherings

With family and friends to take a vacation solo

27% of us would need a vacation

27% say a vacation does not involve any family members

And give it a choice

More people would prefer a vacation

Over receiving physical gifts to unwrap

You know it's nice to know you want to

You know

Shoot the family away so you can go on vacation

Thanksgiving is a family time

But you'd rather go on vacation

So we're all by yourself

That's okay

This was interesting

Stanley water bottles

Hot holiday item at the gift counter this year

This story won't affect sales

A woman posted on TikTok last week after a car caught fire

The only thing that survived the inferno of the car

Was the Stanley tumbler sitting in the drink holder

It's still even had ice in it

Now Stanley has responded

They offered to buy her a brand new car

The company president posted a video about it

And thank you for showing people how tough their product is

Can you imagine that by 30,000 dollar car destroyed

Yes, but your Stanley water bottle is in good shape with ice in it still

Could you keep a secret?

I mean a real big secret

Could you keep your mouth shut and not tell anybody?

Well the winner of a massive 1.35 billion dollar lottery prize

Is sewing the mother of his child

Because she told his family about the win

She was apparently hoping she can keep it all under wraps

I guess the family members are now lining up at his door with their hands out for money

How can you keep that under wraps?

You won 1.35 billion

I would imagine it would be in the news because lot of trees say

When you buy the ticket, you have to allow them to tell who won

In case you win the big jackpot

So it's hard to keep that a secret

But he's sewing her, I don't think that's going to work

Three men in St. Louis had to be rescued by the police last Thursday

After accidentally locking themselves in a jail cell of an abandoned jail

After rescuing the men, the cops arrested him for trespassing

My wife and I went to the Mansfield Correctional Facility in Mansfield, Ohio

Probably doesn't mean anything to you

But that's where they filmed the movie The Shawshank Redemption

Almost the entire movie was filmed there with a couple of exceptions

And I'll tell you what they are in a second

What's the, what's the warden?

The warden's office was there

Tim Robbins desk was in the hallway

Remember the safe that was in the warden's office?

That hole is still there

Do you remember when he looked down the tunnel

After Tim Robbins escaped

That tunnel, it was on a stand

My wife and I saw all the props are there

And we took a picture like

Like the warden did when he was looking through the tunnel

After Tim Robbins escaped

The room where one of the inmates hanged himself after he got out of jail

Was there, it was all in that building

Now the jail cells were there as well

They filmed almost all the picture

They're the only thing they didn't film was the jail cells

And there's a reason for it

They went to a warehouse and built the jail cells there

The reason is because when we toured

And you could just walk through

Just pay, I think it's a donation to the historical society

The prison's not used anymore

There is a prison in back of the prison it's still used

But this one's not

There's no electricity in the building

So it can only be toured when it's daylight outside

And there's water all over the floors

From the leaky pipes and ceiling

But anyway you're walking through

And they warned you do not get in the jail cells

And pull the door shut because they don't have the keys

To unlock them

They don't have the keys to unlock the jail cells

And they're in pretty bad shape anyway

But you get to walk through the prison

If you're ever going through Ohio

Stop in Mansfield

And the entire movie was filmed in that town

Even the scene with Morgan Freeman

Is sitting by that stone wall

By the big tree

Yeah, the tree fell down by the way

But the wall is still there

And it's interesting if I'm a big fan of the movie

The Shawshank Redemption

And to see all the scenes in that Mansfield correctional facility where they filmed it

It was really fun

We took a video of it

And the warden's desk where he committed suicide

Is there and looking out the window

Where the police cars are coming to get him

Was all right there

The desk was right in front of the window

So you should have a good time

But don't shut the jail doors

Because they don't

Have the keys

Looking to get your kid a guitar for Christmas?

All right, here's a list of guitars you might want to think about

Loudwire compiled a list of the most expensive guitars ever sold at auction

Here's some of the list

Kirk Cobain's acoustic electric guitar used on MTV Unplugged

6 million

Kirk Cobain's 1969 Fender Mustang

From the smells like teen spirit video

4.6 million

Eddie Van Halen's custom Kramer guitar

From the hot for teacher video

3.9 million

Johnny artist like Mick Jagger

Keith Richards staying Paul McCartney

Brian May from Queen and Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin

All to race funds for Asia

After a devastating earthquake in tsunami in 2004

2.7 million

You think this next guitar would be worth more

John Lennon's acoustic electric Gibson guitar

2.4 million

And you think this would be worth more

Jimmy Hendrix White

1968 Stratocaster that he used

On Woodstock

2 million dollars

And Jerry Garcia's custom Wolf guitar

1.9 million

I would have thought that John Lennon and Jimmy Hendrix guitars

Would have been more valuable

That's just me

Got a couple of fun facts for your rainy Tuesday morning

The shortest commercial flight in the world is in Scotland

It goes between two islands

And the entire flight is 90 seconds long

It's almost worth swimming from island to island

The average person burns about 0.19 calories a minute

When they're laughing

That comes out to about 17 calories

During a standard 90-minute comedy movie

So here's why I'm going to tell my doctor

I have to go for a physical tomorrow

I'm going to tell him

I'm giving up exercise

I'm just going to put comedy's on and laugh at them

And lose weight that way

See what he says

He missed your dog while you were at work

When I had my dogs I always missed them

The dog phone

Let your dog initiate a video call with you

At work by shaking a toy

They tested it

With their own dog for several months

Apparently they say it works

And 74% of people say

They be fine with all sides

And no turkey at Thanksgiving

Most important signs we'd be disappointed

If we don't get mashed potatoes

Stuffing sweet potatoes

Grandberry sauce and mac and cheese

Become a traditional Thanksgiving

Side dish

I mean it's gay, I like mac and cheese

But I don't know when it became traditional

And by the way

All sides no turkey

Come on

We bring some of our food in on Thanksgiving

From a restaurant

I always have the turkey dinner

The traditional turkey dinner

Other members of my family

Not so much

I like to have turkey on Thanksgiving

Because that's the way I was raised

Gotta have turkey on Thanksgiving

I have turkey year round

But you gotta have an on Thanksgiving

Some members of my family have burritos

Some have eggs over easy

Oh good food

But Thanksgiving, come on

I'm Don Rosen

A lot of thank you for joining us here

I really want to have a degree

In the last 20 years

I don't want to be a photographer

I want to be a photographer

I want to be a photographer

Over and over again

What I would not give in fall

Know what that song is about

What's I tell ya?

I can't untel you, okay?

Paul Simon was at a restaurant

A Chinese restaurant

And he was serving chicken and eggs

The mother and child reunion

Every time I hear this song

That's what I think about

So I told you once I tell you

I can't untel you

I'm Don Rosen

Who has some other color days they have

They had the brown

Saturday or something brown Friday

Today you need the plumber

That's what they called it

I didn't make it up

Okay, got a new survey

Here for you has 52% of people

Worst part of the entire holiday season is

Oh, do you think people coming over having to shop

Now wrapping presents

More than half say they go out of their way to buy presents

That will be easy to package and wrap

I like wrapping presents

Matter of fact, I do the wrapping in my family

My wife gives me the presents and I wrap them

Not my own but I wrap, you know, other presents

I like wrapping presents

I'm pretty good at it too

Well, I need his paper, tape, and scissors

And I'm ready to go

Remember the malls used to wrap your presents for free

Those days are over

What else do we have for you

This, ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, feeling a little down

We've got five little things to lift your mood

In the colder weather months ahead

You ready for this? A hug

Now be careful here, you just don't walk up to somebody and hug them

It's got to be someone you know

And consensual when you get a hug

Hanging out with friends, yeah, that's good

I like doing that

Kurt Folman and I, a friend of mine

He worked here for...

Every few weeks we go up for a Monday lunch

The Monday lunch brunch

We go out and have lunch somewhere

And gossip about everybody

Going out to walk

I like doing that when I had my dog

I used to walk on the lake front every single day

Oh, I love doing that

I wanted to keep it up

But I didn't, maybe I should

Go back to walking again

We walked her in the snow the cold

If it got like 10 below zero

We didn't walk as he had trouble walking in that cold

But other than that

No, we walked all the time

Listening to music, watching television

A long time with a significant other

That came in sixth by the way

Having a stiff drink on a cold day was 13th

All right

That's good

What else do we have for you this morning

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes

It's time when people heard the phone ring

And picked it up

But telemarketers, robocalls, and scammers

Have made so much of that

80% of us don't like to answer the phone

If it's an unknown number

Remember when you had the

Regular landline phone in your kitchen

The phone rang, you picked it up

I never not picked it up

First of all, you didn't know who was calling

Because you didn't have any calling features on there

So you just picked it up

Here's something else

You were you were

On the phone because they know where you were

They're calling you in the kitchen

They knew you where you were

Never had to ask anybody where they were

In a little poll, 54% of people say

They never answered calls from unknown numbers

Another 27% say it depends

They don't say what it depends on

Maybe in those cases when they're expecting calls from people

They don't know personally or for work

Only 20% of people say

They always answer all the calls

On my phone

If you're not in my directory

Or a haven't placed a call to you in the past

You will go right to voicemail

And I tell people that

Some of our guests I call

I say listen if you call

Leave a voicemail, I'll call you right back

It's just the way the phone is set up

So I don't get those

Extended warranty calls every 15 minutes

I got a call once that said

Your college loan is overdue

Now if you don't pay up

Well, I went to college back in the 70s

So I'll tell me about my college loan

It's all paid off back in the 70s

So anyway

What I was saying is

The calls to my guests

Will go right to voicemail unless

I've called them before

Have a lot of problem with that

I do and my phone tells

It says spam risk

And there are certain cities in Wisconsin

When I see big bend on there

I get calls every day from there

My phone never rings

It just shows that was a call

According to a brand new poll

59% of people say

Something if someone cuts in line

Ahead of them

27% will be annoyed

But never say anything

6% will say nothing

And not care

How many people will say

Something if someone ahead of them

Keep letting people cut into line

But I've never said anything about it

I don't

Like for at the supermarket when we're there

If one person's got one item

Or two items

I'm not going to make them sit in back of everybody with a loaded shopping cart

So I let them in line

And nobody gripes about it

I even ask sometimes

Okay, we just get ahead

And they say, I'm going to go to one item

What I didn't know was

He had six people with him all bringing one item

Or two items up

Now that didn't happen

Okay, so that's

I don't have any problem with people cutting in line

If longs they have one item

Now when you're in an amusement park like Great America

And a couple cuts in line

A family cuts in line

Then I care

Here's another thing

When you're in line

But it could be two lines

Melding into one

But it's really not

But it may give the appearance of that people cut right into line

The little things in life that make them happy

Here are some little things in life to make us happy

Getting a compliment

I got a nice compliment yesterday

It did make me feel good

Getting an unexpected gift

Sunny days

We have those coming up

Not today but we will have them

And finding money in your pocket

Now to me the higher denomination you find in your pocket

Probably the happier I'll be

That's the way it is

I found money

I haven't found money recently

But I remember once I found 10 dollars in my pocket

And it was bragging about it all day

To people I found 10 bucks today

Wow I found 10 bucks

I was screaming I was so happy

Because it's unexpected it's like I made 10 dollars

Hey coming up this morning

At 7 o'clock

We're going to have Captain Eddie Williams of the Salvation Arby

They're more than red kettles

Let me tell you

They are much more than those red kettles out there

And we'll talk to Captain Eddie

And find out plus I've got a surprise

I think he might not even know about

The Salvation Arby

And you will find out with Captain Eddie

This morning at 7 o'clock

You're at WRJN

Rain today with a hundred forty-five

Cloudy lows around thirty-four

Tonight sun shining tomorrow

Or just day highs near forty-five

Beautiful on Thanksgiving

Sunny with a hundred forty-four

And Friday partly sunny

At 6.29 at WRJN

More coming up right after CBS News

At the bottom of the hour

If you really love me

You tell me

And if you really

Want me to tell me

Then I will have to be

Playing up on

At 6.35 at WRJN

Some drizzle right now forty-two degrees

Look for rain most of the day today with a hundred forty-five degrees

Cloudy tonight lows around thirty-four

The outlook for tomorrow sunny

With a hundred forty-five

Thanksgiving day plenty of sun with a hundred forty-four

And Friday partly sunny

With a hundred thirty-seven degrees

Again it's drizzling in forty-two

And I'm careful out there

Don't be tailgating like the guy

He was tailgating me on the moral drive this morning

Stop tailgating out there

And then he whizzed by me

How to be going forty-five fifty miles an hour

Because he vanished into the distance

He was like the road runner

And he took off

That's what it was like the road runner

All right, are you a criminal?

Now before you say no

I'm not a criminal

Let's find out

Here are some minor crimes

We're most likely to commit

And we don't even think of them as crimes

How about this?

Returning something after wearing it once

And asking for a refund

Not that it doesn't fit

Not that it's nothing you don't like

You just had to wear it somewhere

And now you're going to return it because you wore it to the affair you went to

Taking a sick day when you're not really sick

Not illegal

But this is illegal

Downloading music or movies

You can't do that

It says right down there

The warning of every movie

FBI warning

Do not do all that kind of stuff

Do you know even if you have like a party outside

The public is invited

You can't even play music

You have to pay royalty rights

To ASCAP CSAC and BMI

Any time you do a public performance of a song

You're supposed to be playing the rights to it

Playing the rights

Even churches when they perform music

Have to pay BMI ASCAP and CSAC royalty rights

Everybody's got to do it

If you do a public performance

That's how the publishers make money

They write songs

They perform songs

They play for it

People on social media talking about things

That people hate when they were kids

But love as adults

For example, getting socks

As a gift

I told my family what

I need underwear this couple of years ago

And my mother said

When I'm getting you underwear

I said but that's what I need

You're going to buy me something I totally don't need

I'm not going to use

And to lay in the corner of the basement

But as a kid if you got underwear

My goodness, it'll be like that movie

A Christmas story when you got that money outfit

Remember that?

About this going to bed early

The other night

I went to bed it was like

Six o'clock by 36

And I got to get up at 4.30

And I was tired

But I said I used to make fun of my parents

For going to bed early

And there I am going to bed early

Taking baths

For grocery shopping

I still don't like it

I do it because I want to eat

And if my wife asked me to pick up stuff

At the supermarket on the way home

I do it because she does a lot of work

She cleans and she re-arranges the house

So I can't find things

She does all that kind of stuff

Moves the furniture around

And it does that all she works hard

And she works hard at work all day

So she asked me to pick something up

I do it

I have no idea where they are

Now she tries to remind me where the aisles are

But still the other day I had to get a rum extract

And it's a tiny little bottle about an inch and a half high

And I'm looking

And I'm looking and I'm looking

And finally having to stumble upon it

But that's why I don't like shopping

Because I can't find anything

And then I go from the right side of the story

To the right side of the story

Back and forth

People are thinking you were younger

Oh people think you are younger than you actually are

And eating vegetables

I don't eat vegetables

People think I'm younger

Only because I don't have gray hair

I always tell them the outside may look

Younger but the inside feels my age

MovieWeb.com

But together a list of 20 sequels

That should never have happened

I never knew some of these sequels

Even existed like Mean Girls 2

The Mean Girls movie with Lindsay Lohan was a huge hit

I never knew Mean Girls 2 was a movie

Mean Girls was also a Broadway musical

They did well

Home Sweet Home Alone

Or is that like the fifth sequel to Home Alone?

Son of the Mask

I assume they're talking about the Mask with Jim Carrey

The sequel must have been Son of the Mask

Mulan 2

Mulan was a movie from Disney and animated film

Honey I blew up the kid

Yeah, I remember that

The worst Jaws movie is on the list here at number 8

Jaws The Revenge

It was so bad

They cut it cut it cut it

It was only I think an hour and 20 minutes or something

It was really a short movie

And it didn't make sense

Because they blew up

The original shark in the first movie

They electrocuted the second shark in the second movie

And in Jaws The Revenge

They would say

Well this

And for what you did to him in the first two films

How could that be?

So it didn't even make sense

Michael Cain started that with

Lorraine Gary

She was in the original one too

Grease 2

Now John Travolta

And Olivia Newton John were not in this movie

I think it

I know who the stars were

I just can't think of their names

Michelle Pfeiffer was the female lead in there

She was very young in the movie

Space Jam, a new legacy

The original Space Jam was a huge hit

Not so much with the

Seagull

And Legally Blonde 2, Red, White, and Blonde

I have a book

That describes the weekend

I think I threw it out too

Maybe I shouldn't have thrown it out

Anyway, I threw out a whole bunch of stuff recently

It was a good book

It talked about

The weekend that that

Terminator Judgment Day I think came out

And there were a whole bunch of movies

That came out that weekend

And the book analyzed

The movies that came out that weekend

Legally Blonde 2 did very well

I didn't see it

Reese Witherspoon

Gangbusters

They even spawned a Broadway musical that was a hit

Someone asked 30,000 people

If you were having a mugshot

Taken, we would just smile

Now recently we saw the 19 people

Who were arrested in Georgia

And there were mugshots

On there

Some people smile

Look at them having a great time

Some people look

Sad like the end of their life is approaching

Some people look mean and stern in the picture

And some people look like

Yeah, I just woke up

But yeah, there were a few of them on there

People just smiling

I don't know what they

I mean, it's a mugshot

You were arrested

It was a mugshot time

The best mugshot I ever saw

Taken

Was, oh I forgot his name already

He was Mad Max

He was in a movie with it

I saw Mel Gibson's mugshot

And it actually looked good

He wasn't smiling so much

But it looked like a

It looked like a headshot

That you take for your Hollywood portfolio

He took a good mugshot

But those 19 people in Georgia

They were on vacation

But never had to worry about it

Hope I never do

Never go to work sick before

I have

At this radio station back

In my prior incarnation

And I had a cold I came in

Which is bad because we all use the same microphone

We all use the same equipment in front of us

We all touch the same things

And we just circulate our colds

All around the building

This is way before COVID

We circulate all our germs and everything

And you know

We all continually got colds

So I have come to work sick

I shouldn't have done it

But a survey found only 11% of us

Never do

33% always go to work when they're sick

No matter how sick they are

Atop reasons we do it are

Just too much work

We don't want to burn off a sick day

But isn't that what sick days are for

The only sick days

I took one sick day

In 24 years

And when I had my heart surgery

I had to take a couple of weeks off

Three weeks off

But then that one sick day

Where I just

My cold was so bad I had no voice left

There was no use coming in at that point

That was only sick day every time

Here's a good reason

Not to over drink during the holidays

The average person loses

A year

What are we losing?

Our phones, our keys

And our cash

Probably some brain cells as well

Nice to watch that show parking wars

If you see that show on A&E

People are Philadelphia and Detroit

Is where they filmed it

And people left to go get their cars

They were partying the night before

They didn't know where they left their car

And it was towed away

They don't have their phone

So yeah, it does happen

About the top things the average American needs

For a perfect morning

Everybody likes to have a perfect morning

Right

Here's one of the concludes coffee

Now I've never tasted coffee in my life

My wife doesn't drink coffee either

So we have no coffee in the house

But I used to love the smell of coffee

And my mother used to make it for my dad

Every morning before I left for work

Oh, love that smell

Good breakfast but I have it when I get home now

I tried to make it before I left

In the morning at five o'clock

And I didn't want to do that

So I have it when I get home

Very good breakfast

Too good

Let's see what else was on the list here

Time to catch up on the news

You can do that by turning on WRJN

At the top of the bottom of the hour

And time to listen to your favorite radio show

Now do I have to say anything right then and there

Come on

I hope I'm your new favorite radio show

If not, I will get there someday

A man is suing universal

Now this is universal studios

Where he takes you to take the tour

He's suing them because he bought a cup

With unlimited soda refills

At one of their theme parks

Then he found that

He can only refill it every 10 minutes

Now you've seen those big cups

There's like a big gulp cup

How much soda was this guy drinking

Where he wanted to refill it before the 10 minutes

Every time

How much was he drinking

Not to ruin your day

I got a list of things here that's supposed to cause you

To die faster

You want to hear it?

I'll tell you

Being single

That's surprising

You would think being married

But no, being single

Sitting for long periods of time

That's why you shouldn't sit in front of a TV all day long

Being lonely

Will do it

Watching television

And not having a job

I had a job

After I left

A WRGN

Back nine years ago

I still worked in radio by the way for nine years

I never stopped

I just worked from home

In radio, what you could do now

You couldn't do it back years ago

But you could do it now

I did with one radio station

I worked that

But I wasn't leaving the house for the most part

And you really have to get out

Even if you don't have a job

And you're retired

You should get out and walk around and do things

How about a fun fact for you

You know almost

Frado Corleone from the movie

The Godfather John Cazale

John Cazale appeared in only five movies

When his career started in 1967

He died early

In 1978

All his movies

All five were nominated

For best picture of the year by the Academy

The Godfather

The conversation

The Godfather Part 2

Dog Day Afternoon

And The Deer Hunter

I don't think anybody else in the history of motion pictures

Can claim that every movie they were in

Was nominated for best picture of the year

His girlfriend at the time he passed away

Was Meryl Streep

Cazale, he was great actor

He played Frado Corleone

He also played in Dog Day Afternoon

He was Al Pacino's partner

And robbing the bank in Brooklyn

He was in a lot of movies

Five of them

Five movies

That's something

That's a fun fact for you

61-year-old guy in Michigan has been playing the same lot of numbers for 30 years

He stuck to it

Finally hit big

18 million dollars was the jackpot

To do numbers a while back but decided

To stick with the normal ones

Paid off

Never give up, I guess, right?

18 million dollars

In 30 years

I guess it's worth it, right?

Yeah, that's not a bad deal

Alright, 648

At WRJM, the weather forecast for today

Rain not all day but it will be tapering off

Just drizzle

Highs near 45 degrees

Cloudy tonight lows around 34

Tomorrow

Thanksgiving Day plenty of sun with a 1-year 44

Partly sunny on Friday

It's drizzling

And 42 degrees coming up at 7 o'clock this morning

Just a few minutes from now

Captain Eddie

Williams from the Salvation Army

The Salvation Army more than just

Red buckets of Christmas time

Trust me, you can hear all about it

At 7 o'clock

Something about the Salvation Army

I don't think he knows

And I don't think you know

That's coming up, I'm Don Rosen

It's 649 at WRJM Radio

Have you been around

Have you done your share

Are coming down

On different things that people do

I have you been aware

You got brothers and sisters who care

About what's going to happen to you

Any ever now

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand

That'd be given away

When we all live together

I'm talking about together now

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand

At 6.51 at WRJM

And I'm Don Rosen

Thanks for joining us today

Rain most of the day with a 1-year 45 degrees

Coming up at just a few minutes

We'll talk to Captain Eddie Williams of the Salvation Army

This will be interesting

You'll learn more about the Salvation Army

It's just red kettles at Christmas time

A lot more than that

That's straight ahead for you

Hey, you want to make some money?

I need big money

All right, quit your job

I got a new job for you

This woman, she's a mother of four

In Dallas, quit her full-time job

Because she's making around $1,000 a week

Dumpster diving

She mostly looks for merchandise

That was tossed from stores

And then resells it

You know, and she's not

It's absolutely true

You go to some of these stores

And they throw out stuff

That they can't sell anymore

They can't move whatever

She picks it up and resells it

$1,000 a week

Maybe when the wrong business here

All right

Got a few more items here

Before Captain Eddie comes in

New dating term

Now I am so glad I'm out of the dating business

Because I would never survive

In the dating world today

Here's a new term

Roaching

It's when you find out someone's cheating on you

With a bunch of other people

It's called roaching

Because of the gross feeling you get

When you turn on the lights in a room

And see roaches scatter

Roaching

I am so glad I'm out of the dating world

A couple, I would never survive

This is why

Triastan Michigan lost a court case

I must pay their son

$30,441 plus attorney fees

This is why

They trache his pornography collection

The value of the collection was determined by an expert

The sun by the way

It's 43 years old

Living with a pornoclection

And his parent's house

And they trached it

And I guess throw them out

And now they have to pay 30,000

Of the pornocollection

The heck did this guy have?

We're $30,000

All right, you're about to freak out at work

Everybody has a time with

The rate of the freak out

Here are three ways to calm down

Breathe in for 10 seconds

Breathe out for 10 seconds

And do it 10 times

Stir it something blue

Squeeze between the knuckle of your pointer finger

And your middle finger

Okay, squeeze between the knuckle

Of your pointer finger

And I can just squeeze between them

Squeeze between the knuckles

Oh, I know what you're talking about

Squeeze the knuckles of your pointer finger

And it's right down there in that little valley area

That's supposed to calm me down

Well, I'm not upset now

So maybe I'll try that later

I show there's something today

That I'll need to do

Or get through something at the wall

Because I hate to say this

There is a tiny little scratch

On the wall in the studio

I'm in

Back around in the 1990s

I got upset and I threw something at the wall

That little scratch is still there

I forget what I was

It's probably something stupid

But whatever it is

It upset me at the time

Here's a fun fact for you

Fall leaf colors

Are actually there year round

You know the orange leaves and the red leaves

They're there year round

The red orange and yellow pigments only show up

Once chlorophyll

The chemical that makes them green

Breaks down in autumn

In other words, those existing colors are just masked

By the great amounts of green chlorophyll

But they're there year round

When the chlorophyll runs out

You see the red, the yellow

And the orange colors of autumn

I love that

I love autumn colors

The orange and the tree

And it's all surrounding the tree in the backyard

I just love looking at it

Not raking it, just looking at it

There's good news if you wish everything tasted like a candy bar

Twix flavored seasoning

Is now a thing

You can get Twix seasoning

Grocery stores will

Get it over the next few months

It's mostly meant for things like ice cream and shakes

To sprinkle on there

It's good for fruit too

Only a way to eat fruit without being

That's funny

All right, we've got some real excuses

If you want to get out of work

Especially like if you don't want to come to work on Monday

Make it an extra long weekend

Oh, maybe not want to come to work tomorrow

And they get an extra long weekend

Here are some excuses

I gave up my plane seat to an elderly person

And can't get back for a few days

My dog didn't wake me up

My dog hid my car keys

By the way, do those dog excuses work

Like my dog ate my homework

My wife got a bad die job

And have to stay home to provide moral support

Well, that's a good excuse

These are, by the way, excuses people have used

If you asked most women

Whether they'd marry a tall guy

Or a short guy, what would you think?

Most people would say a tall guy, right?

A study found that short guys

Have a significantly lower rate of the voice

And tall guys

Sure, guys are also more likely than tall guys

To make more money

And their wives

Well, I'm six with three

You know, I look around at church

And I see some of the tall guys there

Like myself

And all the wives of tall guys are short

There's a guy sitting in front of us at church

He's got five daughters

And his wife is so tiny

She barely comes up to the

It's elbow

She's very tiny

My wife isn't tiny

But she's a lot shorter than I am

I'm gonna see if I have time for this

Stop drinking soda

Now I stopped drinking soda about six or seven years ago

I don't think it helped

Get a dog, didn't help

Cook more, didn't help

Snack on raw veggies, not gonna happen

Don't bring junk food into the house

Stop putting sugar in your coffee

And drink less alcohol

I don't drink alcohol, I don't drink coffee

I do bring some junk food into the house

That I do

So I guess I'm guilty as charged with that one

Coming up at the top of the hour

We're gonna have some news from CBS

And some local news as well, local sports

And also, Captain Eddie is gonna be here

From the Salvation Army

We'll talk to Captain Eddie

Coming up shortly right here
