The Don Rosen Show (Hour 1)

Elon Musk just announced that the first human subject

received one of his Neuralink brain implants.

Yeah.

It's never a good sign when the headline

is the word's first human subject.

You know what I'm saying?

It's never a good sign when you wake up from the surgery

and the doctor says, oh my god, it worked.

In fast food, employment news,

Chipotle is hiring 19,000 people

for its busy burrito season.

In a related story, Chipotle is also hiring

30,000 bathroom attendants.

Well, guys, everybody's excited

about this year's Super Bowl in Las Vegas.

And I saw that tickets to the game

are the most expensive ever

with the cheapest ones going for $10,000.

10 grand is a lot for a football game,

but it's dirt cheap to see Taylor Swift live.

I will say that.

I'll do that.

Perfect.

Don't you love it?

Everything's right with the world this morning.

Come on, come my way.

I can live without love

and for walking,

do you want to sit on the bridge?

But I don't want to,

so I'll live it up to you

and watch your way.

Hey, coming up a little later on,

we're going to give away tickets

to go see.

Are you ready for this?

Lauren Dagel at the Wisconsin State Fair

to be on the main stage,

Friday, August 9th.

Lauren's soulful music is amassed

a billion world line streams

and sold out headline shows all around the world.

So performer hits like

you say, rescue and thank God I do.

Tickets are on sale now at

w-i-state-fair.com

that's w-i-state-fair.com

and all this week today and tomorrow

we'll give it away tickets.

To go see Lauren Dagel

at the Wisconsin State Fair

you can win a fair this morning

who might even give away two pair this morning.

Might do it, you never know.

Hey, coming up with God's Shae King,

head of business development

for the Racine Public Library.

Got some big news at the library.

Some things they're doing

that I didn't know about

until I read it.

Shae gave me a little list of things they're doing.

We're going to talk about that,

coming up at 630 this morning

here at WRJN.

But right now,

we're going to find out how middle-aged

you really are.

Just what you wanted to know, huh?

Hey, DJs are talking

over the music.

I just hate that.

It drives me crazy.

Also later on too,

we'll check in with

Stuart G. Wattles,

our news director.

He's in the news center

with local news.

We'll love those for you

next time.

All right.

How middle-aged are you?

Let's find out.

You can't sleep past 9 a.m.

Oh, that's true.

Yeah, but the problem with me

is I've been getting up early,

you know, for 50 years.

So it's not going to change much.

You can't start a movie

past 9 p.m.

That's true.

My wife and I will

never go to a late night movie

in the theaters.

If we generally don't start movies

if we watch them on

at home,

past 9 o'clock.

That's true.

You call your children

for tech support.

I do.

You used to fix typos

with white out.

I think everybody did, didn't

they?

Well, everyone who's

middle-aged now, I guess,

you've called a 30-year-old

kid.

You swap a little

element stories of your friends.

My sister Laura on the phone

about a week ago,

and we spoke for 40 minutes

about all our aches

and pains.

That is so true.

Once you're in your middle

age, it's all about,

do you get that pain in your

show?

I got a cramp in my leg the

other day.

My back, even gotten up

lately, it's really hard

to get up.

Have you seen this rash?

What is this all about?

Oh, look at this scam I

got.

That's what you talk about

with your friends.

You're on Facebook,

but not Grindr.

You write appointments

on a paper calendar.

Well, that I don't do.

I actually put it into

my phone.

Where's that middle-aged?

Yeah, I put on my boy.

When they want to give me

a card at the doctor,

I'll hold it.

I bring it up on my

phone. It's okay.

Give me the day.

I'm going to put it right

here right now because I

won't get lost.

You're not quite sure how

you got that bruise.

You gain weight just by

looking at food.

You go to the bank to make

a deposit.

I've done that before.

But no, I go through the

drive-through.

I know.

Some of my deposits are

made automatically.

Where the deposits

are just made and I look

at my bank statement of

there.

There's one or two where I

physically get a check in

the mail that I can't help

because that's the

companies I do business with

mail by check.

So, anybody's going to do

that.

If the business is going to

send you a check.

Although, I think my daughter

pays, she takes the check,

scans it, and it goes

right into her account.

So maybe that is middle-aged.

You've taken a keen interest

in Bunions and Corns.

Now, I don't have any of

those.

You've dialed a rotary

phone.

Well, yeah.

I grow it up.

That's all we had in our

house was a rotary phone.

You still have a

landline.

No, then I do not.

My wife maybe get it

taken out several years

ago.

I didn't want to get the

landline taken out.

She said, if you're still

having heart palpitation

six months from now, I'll

put it back.

We never had to put back.

And you can't find your

glasses because they're

sitting on top of your head.

I don't have that problem.

I never lose my glasses or

keys or anything like that

in my phone.

I know exactly where they

are.

So maybe I'm not

admitted middle aged.

I think I'm passed

middle aged.

I think it's me.

I think we're past that

stage at this point.

A 30 year old woman.

Yeah, make a 39 year old

woman in Colorado just

found out she's

running for president

and she's not happy about

it.

Apparently crystal

gable.

She's a marijuana

activist.

Is a member of the legal

marijuana now party.

And they put her name on

the ballot in Minnesota

without her permission.

Now it's too late to

change it.

So she's running for president.

She does.

All right.

You know what a prop bet

is?

All right.

When the Super Bowl comes

around, they do prop bets.

A lot of them have to do

with who's going to win the

coin toss.

Who's going to be the first

person to score a touchdown?

Who's going to be the first

team to get extra yardage?

Who's going to be the first

to get a penalty?

Those are prop bets.

They call them.

This year's prop bets have

a brand new element.

Let's just call it the

Taylor Swift Factor.

They're already Taylor Swift

Super Bowl prop bets.

They're already Taylor Swift

Super Bowl prop bets out

there.

But like these, well,

Travis Kelsey proposed a

Taylor after the game.

There's only about an eight

percent chance of that

happening.

Well, Taylor be shown

during the national anthem.

There's a 66.67 percent

chance of that, not

surprisingly.

Well, the MVP of the game

mentioned Taylor.

Well, there's only about a

22 percent chance of that

because it would have to be

Travis Kelsey as the MVP.

And only he has the

fourth best odds to get

that honor.

Taylor might not even be

there.

She's performing in Tokyo

the night before.

So she might be able to

get there.

But there's no guarantee

there's all these things

going around and circles

about all these conspiracy

theories about her.

Well, how do these things

get started?

Who starts a conspiracy

theory?

There's some really wild

ones about her.

All right.

We've got the Grammy

Awards coming up Sunday

night.

And let's share a little

love to our favorite

artist who have never won

a Grammy.

Now, the list is long.

I only took part of the

list here because

it really is long.

In alphabetical order,

Abba never won a Grammy.

The Backstreet Boys.

The Beach Boys never won

one.

The Anna Ross.

Guns and roses.

Journey.

Katy Perry.

Kiss.

And Queen.

I'm surprised Queen

never won a Grammy Award.

I'm surprised they all

didn't win Grammy Awards.

But they never did.

All right.

Hey, if you're on TikTok

songs from artists like

Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga,

Drake or Disappearing,

Universal Music Group says

it's a great song.

It's a great song.

It's a great song.

It's a great song.

It's a great song.

It's a great song.

Smash militants first and

further ahead.

Such a great song that

is considered possibly

possible because we

thought maybe the Bandit

has rolled fat

and sat across

steak like every chicken or

steak.

So you apparently fell into

the dumpster while taking

your trash out.

How do you fall into a

dumpster?

Don't you have to like

climb into it?

How do you just like?

Oh, I slipped them in the

dumpster.

How does that happen?

Come back in four times.

And she's going to be

okay.

But still, that's got to be

traumatic.

The oldest person in

America turns 116 years

old this week.

And we're all invited to

a birthday party.

Your name is Edie

Sessorelli.

Her hometown is in

Willards, California.

You're doing a parade

past her house.

Anyone can join it.

She's the second oldest

person in the world.

A lady in Spain.

Sounds like the song

Lady in Spain is set to

turn 117 years old on March

4th.

I would have thought

there's an older people

who were like 120

something.

You know, when you read

the Bible, those people

lived in the eight

hundred years old.

700 years old.

Old people lived a

long time.

Showbiz news.

Terry Hatcher got kicked

off a date.

Because they thought she was

a phony.

Then believe she was really

a Terry Hatcher.

Don't you get that blue

checkmark or something to

prove you're real?

A documentary about

Celine Dion's life and career

in battle with stiff person

syndrome is coming to

prime video later this year.

And Kevin Bacon and his wife

Kira Sedgwick are acting in

the movie together for the

first time in 20 years.

I looked up the name of the

movie because I couldn't

remember.

Cave Dweller.

Can you hear it?

From 2004, 20 years ago.

Cave Dweller.

That was the last movie

they were in together.

I'd never heard of that movie

before.

And I hear about all movies

except the ones nominated

for best picture of the year

at the Oscars.

And by the way, thank

Nell Minnow for joining us

yesterday.

That was a great hour of

radio yesterday talking to

Nell Minnow.

Even talking about her dad,

Newton Minnow, was appointed

chairman of the federal

communications commission by

John Kennedy.

I didn't know the fact that

she got to meet John

Kennedy when she was a little

girl.

That I didn't know.

She was nine years old.

She said, she got to meet

John Kennedy when her dad

was appointed chairman of the

FCC.

That's something.

You never forget that.

I got to see John Kennedy

once.

I was a little kid.

It was, I guess,

1960, two, 63, 62.

And he was headed down a

highway in our town.

And word leaked out, like

Barney Fife trying to keep

the gold shipment of

secret coming through

Mayberry.

So, word leaked out that

John Kennedy, president

Kennedy, was coming through

Massapigua on sunrise

highway.

So, everybody was down there

lining the highway in the

pouring rain.

I remember we stood by an

electrical box.

It was a giant big

electrical box.

And we were waiting and

50 miles an hour,

boom, when his motorcade

passed us.

He was in the car, supposedly

he was in the car.

He was in the car.

And we all started

waving, having flags

with us.

And my mom was there with my

brother and I and some

neighbors.

And we all started waving.

And John Kennedy went

past this it, 50 miles an

hour.

Did I see his face?

No.

There were tinted windows.

But he was in the car.

Same thing with Baracko

Bama, when he was in

Racine at Memorial Hall.

His car passed by me when

I was walking the dog.

I didn't see his face.

The windows were tinted.

But he was in there.

Closing up.

619 WRJN.

Old Town Radio Refreshed.

A civic media station.

I'm shine, what a day to

take.

I'm walking the path.

I'm scream, day dream.

Till the sky becomes

a blanket of stars.

What a day for

picking daisy.

And lots of red balloons.

And what a day for

holding hands.

I'll be with you.

Crazy day.

Just right for nothing away.

Crazy day.

Made for a straw in the

lane.

Maybe you and me.

And the honey bee.

She'll be with you.

Crazy day.

Crazy day.

Crazy day for you and me.

Blue sky sunshine.

Flowers bloom and children

saying hello.

Spanky inner gang.

Crazy day.

Her son.

1967.

If you remember that,

you're middle aged, right?

It's 621 at WRJN Radio.

I'm Don Rose.

And a civic media is WRJN.

Hope Jack Radio refreshed.

Where Shade King had a business

development for the

received public libraries coming

in.

Tell us about a whole bunch of

programs they've got just for

you and they're free.

Crazy day.

Just right for nothing away.

Crazy day.

Made for a straw in the lane.

Maybe you and me.

Hey, coming up in the next

hour.

We're giving away tickets.

Maybe two pairs.

We'll see how we feel.

Okay.

What's up everybody.

Saying.

Waiters over.

No, when there's not over.

It was, let's see, 13 years ago.

Tomorrow, we had 24 inches of

snow.

Remember, around Hague Day,

the big snow.

Yeah.

So in ain't over.

It's not over till the robin

sings outside.

Right.

Okay.

Alright, diet soda.

I used to drink a lot of

diet soda.

And,

I went,

four bottles a day.

When I worked here before on our

FM station, WZY,

I used to bring in these two

giant bottles of diet soda

because I don't drink coffee.

I mean, some kind of caffeine

kick in the morning.

And I used to drink the diet

soda.

And I used to drink it when I was

home too.

I just love diet soda.

Diet Pepsi was my favorite

diet Pepsi.

Drink it all the time.

And I guess I'd

grew up doing that because my

parents used to get tab.

Remember that horrible soda

tab?

It's still around.

That was diet pre-diet coke.

When diet coke came around,

tab kind of faded away.

But it's still there.

You can buy tab.

So I drank a lot of diet Pepsi.

And one day my wife said to me,

maybe you're drinking too much

of that.

You didn't say I couldn't drink

it.

She didn't, you know,

she said, you know, it's pretty

bad stuff.

It's all chemicals.

And that's true.

If you look at the ingredients

on diet soda, it's really not

very appetizing.

There's nothing natural in there.

So I stopped drinking it.

That was about seven years ago.

And at the same time,

I said, you know what?

Maybe I'll stop drinking all

soda, because I don't like

regular soda.

It's too sweet.

And if I can't have diet soda,

it's, well, I won't have any.

So it's been about seven years

since I had a soda.

So I stopped drinking it.

And if you want to stop

drinking it, here are some

reasons why.

It can cause migraines.

The artificial sweeteners

kill your taste buds.

Drinking it actually increases

your risk of developing

diabetes.

And it might not even help you

lose weight.

You know, there was a diet

soda.

They stuck the name diet on it.

So everything.

Well, I'll drink that.

I'll lose about 40 pounds.

I'll work like that.

Yeah.

Even when I was on for a

radio session, I worked at it.

They put me on neutral

system for a while.

And I said, I'll drink diet

soda.

And they said, no, you can't

drink that on neutral system.

It's not dietetic.

You think it is because they

put the word diet on it.

But that doesn't mean that.

It means it's got no sugar in it.

If you feel like this country

is getting dumber, pay attention.

This sure won't change your mind.

Seven percent of adults in this

country think chocolate milk

comes from brown cows.

Forty-eight percent say they're

not sure.

Where chocolate milk comes from.

That is a scary stat.

Almost half the people in the

poll said they're not sure where

chocolate milk comes from.

And which means less than

half of the people in this country

know that chocolate milk comes

from adding chocolate to milk.

That's frightening.

And all these people do one of

two things either drive on the

car in the road.

They're, you know, driving

amongst those or they go vote.

And that's scary.

If you can't get to the

point, it's not going to be

an accident, but it's not going

to be an accident.

It's not going to be an accident.

It's not going to be an accident.

And that's scary.

People who don't know where

chocolate milk comes from are

going to cast a vote.

For your aldermen, for your

mayor, for your senators,

congressmen, and what's even

scary for the president.

Whoa.

And they don't know where chocolate

milk comes from.

Are you into paid?

Let's find out.

90% of us think we deserve a

raise.

Only 10% of people think they're

currently paid what they're worth.

14% said they'd rather look for

a new job than ask for a raise.

Five percent would rather get a

root canal than have to ask for a

raise.

Why is that?

You think you deserve it?

You should be able to ask for it.

The worst they can say is no.

They're not going to say, you

know, never Oliver may have

more sir.

More.

You want more.

They're not going to do that to

you.

You want to raise?

Can I get a raise?

You want to raise?

They're not going to do that to

you.

Ask.

You might be surprised.

You might get it.

Who knows?

Apparently not everyone is

welcome at Saturday Night Live.

Buzzfeed.com released a list of

people who are banned from SNL.

They include Steven Segal.

For being a bad host and being a

jerk to the cast and crew, he hosted

back in 1991.

The next year, Lauren Michaels

supposedly told Nicholas Cage

that Steven Segal was the biggest

jerk who had ever been on the show.

And Frank Zappo was banned.

He did a terrible job of hosting the

show in 1978.

Okay.

Looking for some extra cash?

Here's some weird sign jobs that

require absolutely no experience.

A golf court, golf course, bird

remover.

Golf courses actually pay people to

keep geese off the greens.

A reason that should be obvious.

You can make good money working for

a goose control company or setting up

your own for that matter.

It doesn't know.

Probably not a lot of equipment.

Maybe a horn and air horn.

That's about it.

A pet show for pet owners are now

paying people to take their dogs

to the vet or to you obedient

school or whatever.

I think a vehicle in a driver's

license of the only requirements.

You can provide pet carriers if you

want to go that extra mile.

All right.

I found a job that I'm qualified for.

A pet show for the little dog in the

dog that lives in our neighborhood.

I got to meet her again yesterday.

I actually poked my beak outside for

a little bit because it was sunny outside.

And little Juniper.

Juniper, I think, is a pit bull mix.

She is the sweetest, sweetest

dog.

She saw me.

The tail started whipping at

150 miles an hour.

And then she blocked me.

She didn't want me leaving.

So Juniper stood right in front of my

feet.

And when I tried to move, she moved to

block my feet.

So I wouldn't leave.

Dogs like that.

You know, you can leave for three

months.

And when you come home, the dog is

all crazy about it.

Or you can leave for three

minutes and come back.

It's the same reaction.

They are just so excited.

It doesn't matter if it's three

minutes or three months.

That doesn't matter.

A little Juniper.

I love when I see her.

I miss having a dog.

I really do.

I had dogs all my life.

And now I don't have one.

Maybe you should get one.

Shea King coming into the few

minutes head of business development

for the Racine Public Library.

It's the latest.

It's the greatest.

It's the library.

And they've got some great things

going on there.

We're going to find out what they

are coming up in just a few minutes.

I know because I got to sneak preview.

I get their emails.

Yes, I get emails from the library.

So I know what's going on.

We're going to tell you how to get

those emails to.

A lot of people love those things.

Sonny today with a high-tier 43.

Sonny tomorrow.

Sonny Saturday.

Sonny Sunday.

I thought you thought the

son wasn't coming out anymore.

The Badgersman's basketball team

at Nebraska tonight, 6.30 p.m.

at WRGN.

The Civic Media Station.

Home count radio refreshed at 6.29.

Feel very great.

I come back bringing you.

And forgive again.

With love we want to.

Open up your eyes.

Then you'll realize.

Here I stand with my everlasting love.

Feeding by my side.

Want to be your bride.

You'll never be the night.

Ever last in love.

From the very start.

Open up your heart.

Feel last in part of everlasting love.

And love will last forever.

At 6.35 at WRGN Radio.

And you know what time it is?

Where I've driven loads for you.

And the place for me.

It's a local public library.

There are books and things that they lend for me.

It's the latest, it's the greatest, it's the library.

Today's public library is more than books.

And if you haven't been there lately,

you're missing plenty.

Read, listen, look, take part.

Learn, grow, enjoy yourself.

And your public library.

Education, information,

entertainment, that sensation.

It's a way of life.

It's for you and me.

It's the latest, it's the greatest, it's the library.

It's the latest, it's the greatest, it's the library.

Your public library.

Yeah.

And we've got Shay King in from your public library.

Good morning, Shay.

Good morning.

Look at you.

You came in with coffee.

Is that coffee?

Yes.

Coffee came in with some kind of energy drink.

Is that water or dinner?

It's water.

Bare minimum of two drinks at all time.

All right.

Well, yeah.

We have a bathroom here just in case you drink.

It's going to be ready for me to drink a lot of coffee.

And I still, I never had a cup of coffee in my life.

And I love the smell of coffee.

One of our guests here said, I wish you had coffee here.

I need coffee the worst way.

We do.

We have a coffee machine with tons of coffee here.

It's right around the corner.

And we walk by it every time she's in here.

But you've resisted the side of the car.

No, I didn't know what it was there.

I didn't notice it.

And I walked by it.

And so I texted her.

This is Denise Lockwood from Racine County.

Oh, hey.

And I texted her.

I said, do you know there's a, we walk past a coffee machine

that's loaded with little coffee packets all over the place.

It's right there with cups and everything.

How do we not see it?

I had to say why I didn't see it because I'm not, you know,

I don't have radar for coffee.

You know, people, basically coffee.

She does.

And she didn't notice it.

It's how are you this morning?

I'm pretty good.

I love you coming down.

I'm zooming down the road precisely three minutes late.

But I made it.

We're in the building.

That's good.

Now I get the emails for the public library.

Yeah.

And I get them, you know, a couple of times

about whatever they come out.

How do people kind of get that?

How do people, so somebody said to me, how do you get the emails?

Because I mentioned it on the air.

I don't know.

I just do.

How do you get them?

There's two ways.

If you sign up intentionally, then all you have to do is go

to RacineLibrary.info slash newsletter.

And there's a link right at the top of the page that you can use.

And then you'll start getting our emails.

However, whenever somebody signs up for a library card,

they automatically automatically enroll them to receive our newsletter.

That's the unintentional way.

That's the unintentional way.

All right.

I get them.

Everyone, I just got one the other day.

And some of the things on there were some of the things on your list today.

We're going to talk about.

That's right.

And one thing I didn't realize, we'll talk about it in the moment,

is the free COVID testing.

Remember when COVID first started, it was like,

everybody had like black reeds on their door to scare it away.

Everybody got to cross the, the exorcist cross and stuff to keep them away.

I remember when I heard that Tom Hanks got it.

I think it was in New Zealand filming the Elvis movie.

And he texted that he and his wife got COVID and people were saying,

his obituaries were being printed already because they had COVID.

Oh, no.

Yeah.

Cheat Tom Hanks was such a nice guy.

I liked all his movies.

And now we got COVID.

It's like getting a cold.

I got COVID.

I've got it, I've got it two times so far.

I haven't got long COVID yet.

Thank goodness.

Yeah.

I had COVID twice.

I had it once when they didn't have a name for it.

And the second time, by the way, both times I never stopped working.

Not from here, but from home.

Oh, well, you've been feeling okay.

No, I didn't feel okay.

Oh, oh no.

I used to put my head down on my desk in between,

because I was doing radio from home.

Oh no.

And I used to put my head down on my desk.

And I just, I said this is, but I got through it.
