The Don Rosen Show (Hour 2)

A lot of weird shows. Some have to be said about these people who claim to talk to dead people.

I mean, that whole thing.

They're always doing it in front of a group, which just shoots their odds right through the roof.

Did anyone here lose a friend or family member, or know someone who did, or hear about something like this on television?

You did. In the mezzanine, yes, I was getting a strong signal.

This person passed on recently. 25 years ago. That recently.

Getting an M. The letter M. His name was Bo Ziffer. Mr. Bo Ziffer.

He died of natural causes, yes. He was shot in the face by a bazooka, so naturally he'd be dead.

It's a heartache. Nothing but a heartache. It's you when it's too late. It's you when you're down.

It's a foolish game. Nothing but a foolish game. Standing in the cold rain. Feeling like a clown. It's a heartache. Nothing but a heartache.

Love them to your arms break. Then he lets you down. It ain't right. We love to share. When you find he doesn't care for you.

It ain't wise to meet someone as much as I dependin' on you. Oh, it's a heartache.

Good morning. Get 708 at WRGN Radio. Home town radio. We're a French sergeant. Christy Wilcoction. We're seeing PD. We're seeing police departments here. Thanks for joining us again. Thanks for having me.

Good, good, good. I have to have you here. You have to be out of here at a certain time. No. Okay, good. I'll be here till noon today.

Before we get into love, we get everything. I was telling you, I watch all these police shows on TV. I watch on patrol live. I watch all these police videos.

It makes my life seem so much better when I see how miserable other people are, but their lives.

And every time they pull over a car on patrol live, they seem not to hit. First of all, they always have guns and drugs in their cars.

Even if they pull them over for, you know, if I had drugs and guns in my car, I wouldn't speed and make sure all my headlights and tail lights work on the car.

Because they always get pulled over for these things that have nothing to do with what they eventually get arrested for.

Also, they nobody seems to have a driver's license as valid anymore. They don't have insurance and they don't have a registration that's valid.

Am I the only person to go walks around in my wallet with everything? And when you stop them, when they get stopped, they can't find anything.

They go to their glove compartment on the old insurance certificates from six years ago in there.

I mean, to people really not take care of their business when they're driving a car.

No, many don't. There are some that do and those are.

That's me.

A very police officer. Very appreciative of those people, but no, there's, there's a lot that don't.

And here's the thing too. I always love it on these shows when they pull somebody over.

Now they, they passed a red light. They were going on. They were weaving all over the road. Then they get stopped and they say,

what did I do? I didn't do anything. I didn't do anything wrong. I didn't do anything wrong.

Then they won't get out of the car and they start fighting with the cops.

Some of these police officers have the patience of job. I don't know how they do it.

I don't know. I would be screaming at these people. I just taste them right away.

I would even bother with all the niceties of, can you please get out of the car?

Well, that's frowned upon these days.

Yeah. Well, that's why I wouldn't be lost. It's galore.

That's why I'd be sued. The other thing is I like when people, do you know who I am?

I mean that like that's going to work. First of all, if I was a council member and some, there was one council,

I wouldn't want people to know my council member who just got pulled over and arrested.

The last thing I do is say, do you know who I am? I try to hide my identity.

And my wife used to work for the police department. She used to be a dispatcher and used to call her in, check this ID.

Nobody by that name. Check it again. Another one. Nobody by that name.

Three times you're out and they bring you in. Don't people know that if you give a fake name,

that you're going to get caught? Don't they, are people that stupid?

And you're going to say, now you won't say it on the air, but yes, people are that stupid.

All right. We've got something going on. It's called Love Week.

This reminds me of the 1960s when we had lovins.

Peace, love, everybody with flower power. Here's a go.

We're going to love in the world. And so what is Love Week?

Love Week is the brainchild of Officer Travis Brady.

He's one of our community-oriented policing officers of our COP unit.

And he thought, this is our second annual Love Week.

So he came up with the idea that there's people in schools, whether you're a teacher, a janitor, a teacher's aide,

someone in the lunch room that embodies love.

And they're always positive. They're always showing love to everybody.

And he thought they needed to be recognized.

So, Love Week. So for the next three days starting tomorrow,

we will be going to every school and we're seeing unified.

So this includes even the ones now that aren't within the city.

And we have a presentation forum. They get presented a certificate.

From the police department, they'll get flowers from Unified.

Educators has partnered with us this year where they've bought $100 gift cards to subashions for each recipient of Love Week.

And I believe Hairbow also has candy.

They're, I mean gummy bears, that each recipient of Love Week will get.

And it's all a big surprise to the recipient.

They don't know that they've been nominated or voted for.

Who nominates them?

I'm not, each school nominates their own person.

So I don't know if it's a poll that they take amongst teachers or how they're actually chosen,

but each school has their own way of nominating.

And this is middle high school and grammar school?

Correct. And Central Office. Central Office gets one too.

Wow. Look at that. He just show up unannounced.

Unannounced. Like it's planned. Like there are some people know that we're coming.

Some have a whole school assembly planned for where it's a big surprise.

Some it's just within their classrooms or a meeting or however it is, but yes.

That's nice that people think enough of you to nominate you for something like that.

Yep. Yeah, absolutely.

You know, I told the story on the air. I think it did anyway.

The National Honor Society in high school, my grades were so so.

They were okay. They weren't great.

But in our high school, we had the H track, which is the honor track gifted people were in that track.

By the way, later in life, they weren't that gifted.

But in high school, they were gifted.

I mean, I've seen some of these people. I've seen their rap sheets and not that gifted.

Anyway, they were the gifted people and they had A track.

These were the exceptional kids and you had the B track with the average kids.

And the C track, these are the people that slept through school,

didn't show up for class. They were in the C track.

That was the lowest you can be. I was in the B track.

My grades were okay. They weren't anything to scream about.

And at the National Honor Society meeting, you know, in the assembly,

I was copying a vocabulary book because I didn't do my homework.

So I had my kid next to me. I took his words, your important book.

And I had mine. I was copying them.

And they were calling off all the students to come up on stage,

again, the National Honor Society.

And I said, um, copying the book here. And they said,

Rosen, they called your name.

Hey, Rosen, the kid in the back me wrapped me on the back of the head with a book.

And so they called your name, get up there.

So here I am walking up into two books.

The one I'm copying out of in mine.

I walk up, they give me a candle to hold.

I look back and see all these kids laughing.

They were sitting around me.

I said, oh my goodness, they're going to be one candle short.

The principal is going to say, Rosen, what are you doing up here

with all these gifted kids? What are you doing?

Lights came on, I saw my parents in the back.

So I was in there.

Years later, I went back to the school.

And my high school's not there anymore, but when it was there,

I said, how did I get into the National Honor Society?

And she said, one student could be nominated.

And all the teachers nominated you.

Even though your grades didn't make it.

Yeah, so I know how good it feels to be nominated.

You know, I got in through personality instead of grades,

which is okay.

But yeah, when you're nominated for something,

it gives you a feeling that this is what people think of me.

Yeah.

Because you know, you go through life.

You say, well, yeah, I'm okay.

I do okay.

And I'm nice to people.

But when people recognize you, that's good.

So how many people are you going to visit?

Let's see, the schedule is jam packed.

Hold on, she's doing the calculator.

Yeah, let's see one.

Carry the 12, carry the two, multiply square root.

See, I got this going on here.

Hold on, carry the six.

Let's see, that's...

30?

Around 30.

Whoa.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's jam packed every 45 minutes.

We moved to another school.

Wow.

I didn't realize there's that many.

That's very nice.

Yes.

Well, that's going to be a lot of people surprised.

Very much so.

And they don't know it's coming.

They do not know.

That do you film it or anything?

I will take, I mean, because since I'm the PIO,

I go and take pictures.

Some of it, I'll film like during the big assemblies,

because there are schools that have assemblies planned for it.

So it was a big success last year.

It seemed to be very well received.

So that's fantastic.

Yeah, that's such a nice thing to do.

Yeah, it's fabulous.

It was really heartwarming.

Do you also have days where you go in and talk to kids

when the police go in?

Because you don't want kids to be afraid of police officers.

Yes.

Sometimes they see on TV, they see bad things happening,

and they're afraid of cops, and they don't want cops near them.

You have to go in there and kind of re-educate them.

Yeah, we go in.

We have different stuff a lot of times.

It depends kind of on the schools.

If they have certain topics they want us to talk on,

I know last year, Wadowitz had a reading program

where they were trying to get as many kids to read

and log their hours.

And then there was a prize at the end.

And so officers were going and read to the classes a lot of times, too.

So there was a schedule for that.

So yeah, we try and get involved with the schools, with the programs.

I know.

Do you have a drug talk?

If they ask us to have a drug talk,

I don't think there's anything specific that we do on a regular basis.

Yeah, we had that in our school.

We had the police come in, and they brought samples of what we were not supposed to.

We know what to see, what they look like.

Yeah, it was back in the 60s.

What marijuana cigarettes look like, and all that kind of stuff.

And they told us about heroin and all these drugs.

Scared everybody in the classroom.

Yeah.

Some kids weren't scared somewhere.

I've never had a cigarette in my life to this point.

They really scared me.

I didn't want to even near that stuff.

But that's good when you get out there, and you got to get them when they're early.

Yes, very much so.

Because they're corrupted real fast.

You know, they're out there in the world, and friends are corrupting them.

And just try this and try this.

I remember the kids when I was growing up.

We had a bunch of kids.

I still remember their names, too.

They would go after school, go block away, and start smoking.

They said, yeah, I don't want to smoke.

That's why I don't like the way it smells.

I'm sure I wouldn't like the way it tastes.

So I never picked up a cigarette in my life.

But, you know, a lot of kids did, and they were sorry they did because I'm looking now.

And they're not doing well, health wise.

And, you know, I wish they could change it now.

Sergeant Christy Wilcox is here, receiving police department.

We're talking with her, more covered up at just a moment.

Stay right where you are.

This is $1,400.

All right.

$1,400.

A 99.9 FM, 98.1 FM, WRJN, hometown radio, refreshed.

It's $7.19.

I want to thank you for giving me the most wonderful summer.

I want to thank you for giving me the most wonderful summer.

I want to thank you for giving me the most wonderful summer.

I want to thank you for giving me the most wonderful summer.

I'll have my life.

I'll never will forget that summer day we met.

You were so sharp and yet you still fly hard.

The wind, we scrolled along the sand.

What can I get in here?

It's been about summer.

Sergeant Christy was telling me that the only last year it was freezing cold when you did this.

Freezing cold, yes.

Last year it was Valentine's week that we did this.

52 today, 59 tomorrow.

I was saying the meteorologists who we got this room couldn't bring themselves to say 60.

I'm going to say 59.

Who is going to get in their hopes up if we say 60.

They're not going to walk out with winter coats, they're going to go spring coats.

We're talking about schools and so forth.

I think all my teachers are no longer with us, but our principal was a guy named Mr. Dodd, Lawrence Dodd.

He was tall guy, very tall, very nice guy, soft spoken, very great principal.

I had him in grammar school about 10, 12 years ago, maybe a little longer than that.

I called the school and he said, how do I get in touch with Mr. Dodd?

They don't want to give out that information.

I said, I was there from all the years I went to grammar school, that school.

And I said, he was my principal.

I like to touch hands with him again, touch with not.

He touched up with him again there.

And they said, okay, he's living in Pennsylvania with his daughter.

I'll give you his phone number.

And I spoke to Mr. Dodd.

This guy, I'll tell you something about teachers.

They remember everything.

Mr. Dodd not only remembered me, and this is, I mean, I get left that school in 1966, and here we are in the 2000s.

He remembered my name, remembered my parents' name, remembered my brother's name.

Wow.

And I tell you something else he remembered.

I was the crossing guard monitor, and I was the captain of the monitors.

So I had to go out there first and make sure everybody was at the street corners surrounding the school.

I had to do a walk around.

We just put a new addition onto the school.

And the banisters were nice and shiny.

And you know what you do with shiny bands?

You slide down them.

So I'm sliding down the banister from the second floor to the first floor.

And Mr. Dodd is at the bottom.

And you can't stop.

Once you're started, you're committed to going the full length.

I said, oh no.

And I couldn't stop.

And I get to the bottom.

And he's like six foot six.

And he's looking at me.

He says, Donald, I think you're late for your monitor's post, aren't you?

But he remembered me sliding down the banister.

He said, yes, I remember that day we are a crossing guard.

And this kid, this teacher must have this principal must have seen thousands of kids come through that school.

But he never forgot.

Isn't that something?

That's something.

So we became pen pals.

And we wrote, and then he moved to with another daughter after a while.

And then he passed away.

But I have the letters.

And I said, I am so glad.

I kept in touch.

And maybe you should keep in touch with your teachers.

I have some of my high school teachers on Facebook.

But all my grammar school teachers are long gone.

But I remember them.

I can remember all the kids I went to school with.

One of the kids was Jerry Seinfeld, who was in my kindergarten class.

So I remember him, of course, remember him.

But I remember all the faces of all these kids.

And I'm so glad you're doing that with the schools.

It's fantastic.

It's really heartwarming.

Have anything else coming up?

Let's see.

I can't think of anything off the top of my head.

No ticket week where you know it's going to get a ticket.

You can do that.

No, I don't think we want anything like that.

No ticket week.

No warrant week if you have warrants.

We're ripping them up this week.

No, no.

Did you have a lot of stuff like that in Racine where you have to serve warrants and do that kind of stuff?

I see that all on these in the bigger cities.

But do you have a lot of that kind of stuff going on in Racine?

No.

I mean, we don't have any specific groups that serve warrants or anything.

A lot of it is if they get stopped for something or we have some sort of interaction with the person

and we run their name out and they come back with a warrant.

Typically that's how the warrants get served.

Now I was telling you before we went on the air, I don't have the story with me.

I was trying to look it up.

This woman had over 600 warrants, outstanding warrants.

300 of them were felony warrants.

The rest were misdemeanor warrants.

How does she get away with that so long?

I mean, how do you avoid these felony warrants you figure they want to serve those?

No, I don't know if they were all in Wisconsin.

I don't know where they were.

Right.

I don't know where they were located.

But still.

Well, and you don't know if she used the same name.

How do people live lives like that?

I couldn't do that.

I was telling you that once I get my sticker for my license plate,

if I'm off by one day putting that on my plate,

I'm going down dark alleys, I'm going down side streets,

I don't remember to see it.

So that's the kind of life I live.

I never drop a litter on the ground.

I never do any of that stuff.

I just don't want to get in trouble.

I know people that got in trouble.

A lot of my high school kids got in trouble and so forth.

And I don't want to get in trouble.

So I avoid that.

I don't make eye contact with police officers.

I don't...

I see a car right during the other way.

But isn't that what's crime in Racine?

It depends.

Yeah.

It ebbs and flows.

We're doing good right now.

Now the cop houses.

Yes.

One of those.

RCOP houses are houses within certain communities

that are underserved.

And those houses bring programs to each of those neighborhoods.

It puts a face, a friendly face in there,

which I hope is a friendly face with the officers,

that allows people to go and meet and greet the officers.

They have programs.

A lot of them have food pantries out of their COP houses.

Really do.

Some have game nights out of their COP houses.

Grocery giveaways.

So each house has different programs going on

within their neighborhoods.

You know, when did police cars...

There are no more police cars on the streets.

The whole police SUVs.

Yes.

When did police cars...

I just noticed that not too long ago.

Somebody was saying to me,

why was the last time you saw a police car?

I said, there's one.

He said, no, that's a police SUV.

When was the last time you saw a police car?

You know what?

I can't remember.

Yeah, it's been a while.

But we have more equipment that needs to be housed.

The other thing I got asked is,

and I watched some of these COP shows,

it looks like they're walking around with 60 pounds worth of equipment.

This utility vest they wear.

How do you...

How do you even walk around?

How do you drive a car with that stuff on you?

Yeah, it's...

I mean, it's challenging.

And over the years, it's not probably the healthiest forest.

But the vests actually are healthier

because it takes some of the weight off of the belt itself.

Do our police officers here have body cams?

Yes, all of our officers have a body cam.

You know, those are so helpful because people will say,

well, I didn't do it.

Yes.

Yes, you did do it.

We have...

And the camera doesn't lie.

You did do it.

I like when they stop them and they say,

you weren't wearing a seat belt.

Yes, I was wearing a seat belt.

No, you weren't.

I have an on camera, you weren't wearing a seat belt.

You're a liar.

People can't tell the truth.

No.

They love lying to police.

You want to hang in?

Do you have some fun here for a few minutes?

Sure.

All right, we got some fun.

Sergeant Christie Wilcox is here

from the Racine Police Department.

And then we've got some...

I think we have some tickets to give away to something

in a few minutes.

Yes.

We do.

Wisconsin State Fair.

And we also have some fun things we're going to talk about here.

Stay right where you are.

728-729 now.

At WRJN, hometown radio refreshed.

A civic media station.

Stay there.

Stay there.

Stay there.

I see it.

Just it woo-woo-woo.

I see it.

All right.

You weren't born when the song came out, wasn't it?

I was.

Actually, yes.

Yes, I was.

Probably a little offended at the time.

You don't remember.

No, I played it with it.

No, I played it with it.

On to Cover Angel, Alan O'Day.

I think he had one or two songs that made the charts.

There's no shortage of this, Jackies.

We have plenty of them.

If you need it, we can govert them over.

Sure, absolutely.

Let's see what we got here this morning.

You're not old enough to remember the Mickey Mouse Club.

Maybe the second Mickey Mouse Club.

There were two of them.

The first ones back in the 50s.

Right, the black and white ones.

Yeah, then they had the 80s.

They had the Mickey Mouse Club.

And thanks to the Barbie song, I'm just Ken.

Ryan Gosling is now the 15th former member

of the Mickey Mouse Club to make the hot 100 charts.

Wow.

Can you name any of the others?

From the new one.

Yep.

Britney Spears.

Britney Spears.

Britney Spears.

Christina Aguilera.

Very good.

That's two.

One more.

Justin Timberlake.

Oh, sure.

A lot of people don't realize that Britney Spears.

Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and Ryan Gosling.

Well, the members of the Mickey Mouse Club.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Back in the day with the first batch and it funded Chelo.

Yes.

She was the main one.

Yeah.

She had a lot of hit songs.

And then they was Johnny Crawford.

He was the on the TV show, the rifleman later on.

He had a song.

Paul Peterson.

Now Paul Peterson was on the Donna Reed show later on.

Okay.

He had a hit song called My Dad.

You don't remember that?

I don't remember.

My dad.

Now there is a man.

I remember that song.

It pops up every Father's Day.

Some radio station plays it.

Maybe we will on Father's Day.

So anyway, yeah.

Mickey Mouse Club.

A lot of big people came from that show.

Yeah.

I could remember the original Mickey Mouse Club people.

I used to watch in reruns.

I don't remember it originally when it was on.

Yeah.

But yeah.

And that funded Chelo.

She was the big one.

She was the big one.

Yes.

I remember.

She was in a lot of movies.

Those ski party movies with Frankie Avalon.

Yeah.

They were just terrible.

But people want to go see them.

One of the beach beach party with Frankie Avalon.

Yeah.

There's apparently a new scam where thieves are replacing QR codes on parking meters.

Talked about this before.

What they do is they put the QR codes and people are pretty, you know, they just scan it, put their money in.

And it goes to them.

Oh.

Not the city.

Kind of nasty.

That is nasty.

All right.

If you're a child of the 80s, you might have fun with this movie web.com, but together a list of the best kids movies of the 1980s.

My daughter says not only this on the list.

I didn't notice it the first time I read it.

All right.

These are the best kids movies of the 80s.

The little mermaid.

Yeah.

People love that one.

Beetle juice.

Which is coming out with a sequel.

Beetle juice too.

Yeah.

Beetle juice.

Beetle juice.

They're calling it ET the extra terrestrial.

Yeah.

Gremlins.

It's got a cold following that film.

Yeah.

The karate kid.

And they have the karate kid too.

Three.

The new karate kid.

And then they have that streaming series they have now.

Oh, do they?

I don't know.

Yeah.

With Martin Cove is on it.

He's from the original movie.

I forget what the name of that is.

And the never ending story.

That was my daughter's favorite movie growing up.

The never ending story.

Ghostbusters.

Yeah.

And they've got another sequel coming out this summer.

Yeah.

That's right.

They do.

Oh, he's good.

There's nothing going to take the place of the original.

No.

My dad used to work in Manhattan.

And one day this traffic.

And there was filming movies there.

When they film movies, they generally do it on a Sunday.

Because there's no traffic.

But this particular day it wasn't a Sunday.

And they had traffic backed up all the way down.

And when he finally got to the front of the line,

he noticed there was a fake street built above the other streets.

And the cars were into the fake street.

It was built up about six or eight feet.

He said, instead of filming a movie,

didn't know what it was.

It was Ghostbusters.

And that's when the cars were going into the streets.

And they said he used to hate that when they built those.

All those stuff.

Back to the future.

Oh, yeah.

One of the biggest ones.

They had two sequels.

And after that, no more.

And the goonies.

Now, there's one.

I would have thought that the breakfast club would have been in there.

Yeah.

Well, any of those.

I was at pretty imping.

You're pretty imping.

I was 16 candles.

Pretty imping, yeah.

Footloose was 40 years old.

Yeah.

Footloose.

Yes.

Footloose from the 80s.

Footloose dance.

Another one from the 80s.

Yeah.

Was it a movie?

I think it was a movie.

It was a movie.

Yeah.

Then you know, that was the movie.

And yeah.

The very first of all is a TV show.

Interesting story about flash dance.

People of Paramount's shelved it.

And the wife of the president of Paramount screened it.

And she said, oh, you have to release this film.

And he said, no, no, no.

There's got no story, it's got nothing to do with.

She goes, you have to release this film.

And of course, it was one of Paramount's biggest hits.

Yeah.

In the 80s flash dance.

So listen to the wife.

Exactly.

Sometimes guys don't know the answer to these things.

The other one was Molly Ringwald.

The pastor of my church, Spencer DeBurg, went to North Hollywood High.

Molly Ringwald was in his class.

Oh, that's cool.

But a lot of famous actors were just class because it was North Hollywood High.

And Molly Ringwald said, did you know her?

I said, yeah.

I knew Molly Ringwald.

I said, well, okay.

Yeah, so I was called a pastor to the stars.

Because he knew all these people.

Odd but true.

Freeze dried astronaut ice cream.

It was a real thing, but never eaten by any astronaut in any mission.

It never made it into space.

Freeze dried ice cream.

Maybe they wouldn't like that.

They tell you never use self checkout.

One credit of the fan's attorney says it's too risky.

You can get falsely arrested for shoplifting.

It's going to be a huge legal nightmare.

It must still use, you have to use it.

He says use it on small orders.

Use your credit card for proof that you paid and get your receipt.

And go slowly so the camera see everything you scan.

I never yourself checked out.

I do all the time.

I hate it.

I hate it because I know this is going to be a mistake.

The one time I used it, I had to bring someone over there to reset.

I had to rescan everything because it was a problem with the machine.

I hate it.

I hate it.

I hope more people use it because that means the regular checkout lines will be shorter.

Sure.

More people like you.

Yeah.

Here's a strange crook.

A guy from Georgia broke into a church in Florida.

The baptize himself.

When he left the baptism, he robbed the place.

It was just stupid.

They're just so stupid.

All right.

Some of the biggest artists in the world never had a number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The following people never hit number one.

One direction, the boy band.

That I can believe.

Chennai and Twain, REM, Metallica, Green Day, Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen.

Now Bruce Springsteen had a song that hit the number one position on the chart that he wrote.

But it never no song by him.

The Backstreet Boys never hit number one on the chart.

Cheryl Crowe and Imagine Dragons.

Huh.

Chennai and Twain.

That's surprising.

Never had a number one hit.

There was trend for brides as black wedding dresses.

Now, I used to watch this show called Say Guess to the Dress.

Yes.

That's you.

Oh, yeah.

I used to watch it all the time.

Oh, it's my wife watched it.

That's why I'm going to tell you anyway.

It was good.

And they had people wear buying black dresses.

Yes.

And they look like that girl from Beetlejuice who had a black wedding dress on.

Oh, no, no.

I keep thinking El Vaira though.

El Vaira, huh.

You know, black wedding dress.

Spokesperson for the chain.

David's parietal says just to have to custom order a black gown.

But now they're so popular to stock them.

Other wedding dress colors trending right now.

Blue purple and red.

I guess white is out.

Well, one of the first couples to get married,

meet and get married over Zoom.

They're now divorcing.

They still have never met in person.

The woman says she never met her husband.

And he was unfaithful.

He's back with his ex now.

I can't believe that didn't work out.

Yeah.

That's surprising.

Meet over Zoom.

Never meet and get married over Zoom.

How do you...

Never met?

I can't get a drink here.

Hold on a second.

A little dry.

Hmm.

Can you just get an annulment?

I would think in that situation since it's not consummated.

I would just say it's not really a marriage.

Well, there's that too.

But...

Oh, met over Zoom.

Got married over Zoom.

You got to be kidding me.

I'd be true if there were a hole going through the entire earth.

And you fell into it.

How long would it take you to get to the other side?

I don't know how they figured this out, but they did.

How many of you think it would take?

If there was a hole going right through to China.

And you're just free falling?

Yep.

Oh.

I have no...

Not as long as you think.

38 minutes.

Oh, that's it.

Yeah.

Well, you're falling through a hole.

I think I get that.

But out of the how you get through that center core that's all like lava and stuff.

I mean, but...

I mean, how do you get through that thing?

That magba in the middle of the earth.

Or all the volcano stuff comes from.

I guess you have to get through that.

You ever see one of those delivery robots they have now?

Yes.

Okay.

If you've never encountered one, this person did.

They photographed it.

It was lost in the woods.

Didn't know where to go.

They just have the spot in the woods.

Oh, my goodness.

I don't think they perfected that AI stuff yet.

No.

I think we have to...

Yeah.

I think we have some stuff to give away now.

Let's do that.

Okay.

We're spreading the love.

Spreading the love to every school in Racine Unified.

Even those outside of the city limits this year.

It is to honor and surprise employees who can be described in one word.

And that word is love.

These employees.

Infectious, enthusiastic personalities are no secret to those around them.

And so they are nominated.

And there's a big presentation.

And it's all a surprise to that employee.

We partnered with educators this year who has donated $100 gift cards to Sebastian to each recipient.

Along with flowers from Unified, candy from hairball.

And certificates from the Racine Police Department.

Sharing the love.

This will be the second year.

It started last year.

There's six houses.

All together throughout the city.

Yeah.

Well, that's great.

Yeah, it's fantastic.

Share the love.

They do not know.

Nope.

I don't know each how each has been nominated.

But yep, they've been nominated.

It's a picture of that.

Put them online or something.

Yeah, I'll definitely do that.

And these people.

Yeah.

They're nominated.

It'll be on our Facebook and our Instagram.

Hopefully they won't be cheating on their vocabulary books like I was when I was nominated.

You watch a lot of movies.

You go to the movies a lot.

Have you seen any of the best picture nominees?

No.

Okay, really none of them?

No.

Because Barbie wasn't nominated.

I did see Barbie.

He's nominated Barbie.

Is it?

I thought the director wasn't nominated.

Right.

The director was nominated for Best Picture.

Yes, I did see that.

You did.

I did see that.

I did see that.

I did see that.

I wasn't.

It was good.

I went in.

I didn't have any expectations.

I'm afraid to go into a theater to go see Barbie.

I was afraid.

You know, when I had my daughter, we used to go to daddy daughter and I took a four million

movies.

And you know, I used to see all these films.

But I had my daughter with me.

So that was okay.

Yeah, I could say, well, I came with my daughter.

I didn't want to see this picture.

And I, you know, we saw some really terrible movies get back in the 80s.

The smurfs of the magic flute and here come the littles.

All these horrible movies.

I just did through.

They didn't have good movies like Barbie back then, but it was good, huh?

Yeah, it was good.

When we watch a movie at home, actors that he tend to mumble.

They don't.

They.

At the moment.

They realize, yeah.

There's a good turn of yours, subtitles.

66% of people say they turn their TV subtitles on.

When they're watching movies, they can't understand accents.

They can't understand the mumbling from the actors.

And we do that a lot at home.

And it's not because we're getting old and we're hard of hearing.

I mean, you can crank up the sound all you want to.

The mumbling.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The word is saying like that.

Somebody brought up something interesting.

A Godzilla minus one is actually nominated for an Academy Award for technical, technical

nomination.

A Godzilla minus one.

And they say it's prequel.

Oppenheimer is nominated for Best Picture.

I thought that was really good.

Here's a nice story for you.

CNN did a story speaking about Barbie.

On a former fashion designer in New York named Barbara Lincoln, she restores old Barbie dolls.

It makes clothing for them and then donate them to a place called the Little Shop of Kindness,

where asylum seekers and immigrant families can shop for free.

That's fair.

I've heard a doll, Dr. Doll, you know, doll hospitals where they restore these dolls and so

forth.

That's kind of nice to do something like that.

Yeah.

I wish I could do something nice for somebody.

For the first time, America's credit card debt levels have surpassed $1 trillion.

I wonder how much you contributed to that.

All right.

Olivia Dunjan, she's long gone.

It supposedly has been appearing to family members as a blue orb.

The same color as an aquamarine necklace she used to wear.

Both her husband and her daughter, Chloe, said they have seen her in the orb.

Oh, interesting.

Who knows if that's really happening.

Maybe people want to see that kind of stuff.

All right.

Comedy albums.

I don't think do they make comedy albums anymore?

I don't know.
