The Don Rosen Show · Fri Mar 22, 2024

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

Oh

It's 6.07 at WRJM. Thanks for joining us here on this snowy morning

The fleet we're even talking about snow this morning

Snowy morning

In spring it's March 20 say what happened, you know, I was talking to my daughter yesterday who lives in Florida and she said

Well, yeah up until the three pretty can get snow. I know, but it was like 65 degrees the other day

And we put all our snow shovels away. We put all the salt away

We put even the snow shovel here at the building was put away

And now it's snowing actually it's not that bad

Part of the road when I came in this morning you're the lake, but just wet they weren't

I mean once you get past downtown south of downtown it was just wet

But there's snow on the road. It's a little slippery and there's that wet snow on the car a lot on the car this morning

I was surprised of that

I was like two inches of snow three inches of snow on the car this morning

But you know just drive carefully and it should be gone by this afternoon

They say in the forecast another two to four inches today

Heisen here 35 which kind of means to me it'll be melting cloudy tonight lows around 26

sunny tomorrow with a high-tier 34 and Sunday cloudy with a high-tier 41

41 definitely be building on Sunday right now

It's snowing in 32 degrees right at the freezing mark

I'm Don Rosen I want to thank you for joining me here this morning at WRJ and hometown radio refreshed a civic media station

We have

Chief of police in we're seeing coming in this morning Rick Teller

We're going to be talking about the summer camp. I know it's you know, it's snowing outside. We're talking about summer camp

It's the Royal Family Kids Camp and the four tickets were auctioning off

To the Buck Celtics game coming up. I think on April 9th at five serve form comes to the whole bunch of VIP special

Special treats too. So we'll be talking about that at 706 today

It's opening up. We'll talk about that with Brett Hoffman. We'll get some sports updates local sports updates

We've got March madness. We'll talk about that with Mike Clemens

That's all coming up in the seven o'clock hour this morning this hour. We've got some

Real news for you the real fun news that we want to hear about the real fun news

Also, we'll talk about the local real news to the local stuff going on here in town

Stuart J. Wattles watching our news for us this morning

And of course, let's start off with the real morning news this morning

Let's see here. Oh, oh, wait a second here. Hold on. Got my pages all mixed up here now. They're in order

Gallup pole just released the results of an annual study on how happy people are in their lives around the world

The United States is

23rd amongst all countries in happiness. We're not a happy bunch of people

Number one is Finland by the way

Afghanistan came in last that I can understand. So what's going on in Finland where people are so happy

Why are they happy in Finland

That's what we should be checking up on not all this other garbage. They're doing in

Washington these days. Let's find out why Finland is so happy and we're not

Someone on social media asked the question if you could receive a lifetime 99% discount

in any single industry

Which one would you choose and there were six choices

More than 2000 people weighed in and number one 32% of people said they wanted that 99% lifetime guarantee a knife time

Discount in luxury goods like jewelry designer clothing and iPhones

20% said transport like ubers

flights gas even car repairs

17% was smart. They want a 99% reduction in taxes

And that's on top of all your usual deductions and credits. That's not bad

Why may take that

16% said utilities like gas electric water internet bills. I didn't know internet was a utility bill

7% said they want that 99% lifetime discount in insurance like health car life home

And 6% said entertainment concerts movie streaming services and even fine dining and cruises

See originally I was going to take the entertainment one when I was pre reading this

Then I kind of thought well the tax one is good. I mean if you can get a 99% discount on your taxes for life

Think about that someone's not bad odd but true and this one really surprised me hold on

Hmm

Little choke there

This one really surprised me the US merchant marines had the highest casualty rate of any branch in the military in world war two

One out of every 26 merchant marines were killed that surprised me

According to a recent survey the average American spends $61 a month on four streaming services

But 48% of people said they will cancel the service if the price goes up by five dollars a month

So I hope the people at max Disney plus paramount plus and Netflix are all paying attention to that one

Serve me as people about several controversial food

Don't want to know whether you think they're nasty or delicious

Most people thought black licorice was gross

Blue cheese gross olives gross beats gross

Tofu gross and 18% said sushi is gross. Now I never tasted sushi

But it looks gross

So I wouldn't touch it

A poll asked people how old they were when they first started swearing under regular basis

10% said they were dropping profanity by the age of 10

Now I know this is going to be hard to believe. I didn't do my first curse word till I was like 19 years old

And it wasn't even bad one either. It was I think

Hell I think I said

I mean, I never cursed that's just you know my parent my father did

But I never did and my brother never did either and where do they start cursing not in high school

Not in college at the first radio station. I worked at leaving up to the DJs to teach its curse words

That's really where I started cursing first radio station. I worked that

Let's see a guy who got Elon Musk

Neuralink chip now we've been talking about this there's a neuralink chip it planted in the brain

You know say what you want about Elon Musk, but nobody else was working on this

This guy who had it put in his brain

Moved a cursor with his brain. That was it. He played games like computer chess too

Particularly breakthrough for him because it's a quadraplegic, but now he can do it with just this brain

It's like

Amazing

Vermont State University offering a course on weird al yankovic

He will analyze what makes a good parody. I'd have paid tribute to another artist al's lyricism

And the context of the world

With which the songs were written

I don't know. I went to college. I had to learn English. We took Spanish courses. We took

History

We took all those courses not once if we have any courses like that when I went to college

All right, a series of movies based on the never-ending stories in the works. Do you remember that movie from 1984

That was my daughter's favorite movie growing up to his four years old. It's song actually came from that movie

But never in the story

40 years ago the original came out followed by two sequels and most people have forgotten about but now they want to make a whole series of films

Because if it's one thing Hollywood loves more than remakes and reboots its franchises

And by the way the sequels you don't remember because nobody remembered them 1990 and 1994 never ending story

What if my daughter ago see it? Yeah, that was her favorite the favorite movie. I kind of liked it too

Wasn't that bad a movie odd but true if you plan on drinking going out and having a good time

This weekend

Mixing alcohol with diet soda gets people drunk 18% faster than mixing alcohol with regular soda now the reason is the sugar and regular soda slows down the effects of the alcohol

Now this is a weird story a

Couple in Oklahoma had quite a shock recently when a roofing company called them

They were away and said they accidentally removed the roof of their house after getting the address wrong

They made it right they installed an upgraded brand new roof free of charge of course

And they did such a good job

They were so accommodating about the mishap the couple is now recommending the company to others

Just make sure you they have the right address

Well, what are you going to do? You think the person's a roof off that I got to replace it

But they did the upgrade on it no charge

I will take a quick story here. We were putting a we were looking to get new fences in our backyard this is years ago

And we were talking to a couple of companies and we called this one company

I don't think they're in business anymore, but they were a big company at the time

So I come home from work one day and our fence is missing

I mean the backyard fence is gone

Just a you know large portion of it

Like one half the fence in the backyard gone

And we had dogs and I need to the fence up because they used to run around the backyard. We had three dogs

And I called my wife. I said do you know anything about the fence being gone

And she said the no

Where is it? I said, I don't know. There's no fence here. No pieces of it nothing

So I called this fence company who we wanted to quote from

And they said yeah use you know, we were replacing the fence

I said I never said to replace it. I said wanted a quote on what it would cost

Oh, I said we'll put the fence back. Well, we can't we got to put a new one in

And we'll give you a 10% discount on it

You believe that they removed my fence and I said show me the contract

Where it says I sign on with you to put a new fence and show me that contract

Well, we don't always do written contracts. I said well, I do and the the courts do

So show me that written contract. Of course, I don't have it because I never agreed to new fence

So now they got me stuck because I got three dogs and they want to go out all hours of the night and I got to have a fence up

So I agreed to a 10% discount now shortly after that he went out of business

Yeah, I can understand why it was a big company too if I said the name you'd know it

But I'm not gonna say the name

But what a scam that was what a scam now this company did it by mistake, but look what they did

They replaced the whole upgraded roof not even the old room upgraded

Huh

Okay

The latest exciting trend in the workplace is something called dry promotions everywhere of it

That's where you get a new title new responsibility

But no new money

Yeah, a dry promotion. I can't believe they have a name for it

Eyes near 35. It's a real heavy wet stuff. And I was out there this morning cleaning off the cars

It's heavy

You really got out push a little bit this morning. That was my workout for the day by the way

Cloudy tonight lows around 26 sunshine beautiful day tomorrow with a hundred thirty four

Cloudy on Sunday with a high-tier 41 snowing 32 degrees right now

At WRJN

Yeah, it's a you know something surprisingly enough for all the snow that's on the cars

It's uh it's not that much snow on the roads in the sidewalks. You would think it'd be more

It's kind of a freezing rain snowy thing falling where I live

And it's just it was kind of like pellets and stuff. It wasn't really you know

They said heavier times. I don't know. I was watching the uh

The weather people last night and on TV and there was you know almost a run for your lifestyle of thing

But it wasn't really that bad out there this morning

This is odd but true

Back in the 1980s Russia gave Pepsi the soda company Pepsi Cola

Submarines and other naval ships to cover the cost of stocking the country with their soda

They gave Pepsi such a big fleet at one time

Pepsi control the sixth most powerful military the entire world

odd

But true

Curric the coffee

Cup company and people to make the coffee machines

Have come up with a more sustainable way to make coffee pods without plastic

But guess what

Requires a brand new coffee machine say that's how they get you to do it

Chips a hoi using a new cookie recipe. They claim it's less bad in the current one

He improved cookies are hitting the shelves within the next month

So all the chips a hoi we bought before will what junk these are the these are the better chips a hoi cookies

I thought the old ones were pretty good showbiz news

Ah, you don't know this guy's name may be but you will recognize his face if you see him

Long time character actor M. Emmett Walsh passed away Tuesday 88 years old

There's a lot of movies slap shot the jerk blade runner blood simple good movie critters

Harry and the Henderson's a ton of movies M. Emmett Walsh

Kathy Griffin hired a private investigator to track down her husband she wants to serve him with divorce papers

I'm a witch at her TV show

Her husband was always on the show. I guess they're not happy anymore

I could check out the trailer for a new alien movie it's called alien Romulus

Hollywood doesn't know when to stop do they

There's a movie in the works based on the Sims computer game Margot Robbie's production companies

She made the Barbie movie is behind it and Paul Simon finally talking about the end of his friendship with art garfungal in a brand new documentary

We don't know where that documentary is. I

Would imagine it's gonna be on some kind of streaming service

There's a historical inaccuracy in the movie up in Heimer. Did you catch it?

Okay, there's a scene set in 1945 where people are waving American flags remember that it was at a rally or something

The flags all have 50 stars on them, but in 1945 there should have been 48 stars on the flag

Mm-hmm. I have a flag at home with 48 stars on it

It's very obvious when you look at it because if you look at the American flag with 50 stars

The the stars don't line up in perfect columns

There's there

You know jagged columns, but if you look at a flag with 58 stars

They line up perfectly in columns. So it's very easy to spot

All right, here's how hot the inside of your car gets in summer

A study found that after an hour parked in the sun on a 100-degree day

Oh, don't you miss those 100-degree days the average steering wheel is 127 degrees the average dashboard gets up to

157 and you lock your animals in those cars while you're shopping shame on you

Talk about a bad decision not Damon

Turned down the original avatar movie the deal included the percentage of the profits if he had said yes

And then in the avatar movie he would have made 250 million dollars, but he turned it down

Universal pictures got fined for pruning trees that were riding shade for striking actors and writers recently

And if they 250 bucks

You can afford it a 24-year-old man in Pennsylvania ordered three cakes from a grocery store with photos of himself printed on them

Then he went through a self-checkout. He didn't pay for the cakes. He did buy some candles

Candidums and some cupcakes. He paid $12.99, but he didn't scan the cakes

They were about 90 bucks

Police is still looking for him. It only matter time because the ID and based on the security footage and

The photos. He submitted

Half put on the cakes stupid of these people

That is good

All right, let's see what else he got for you this morning

Ah time for the annual story about how chubby dudes don't have to worry about their beach bods

So in pulled over a thousand Americans and found that dad bods are still trending even sexy

So what he presented women are fans of the dad bod three quarters of people to find it as a guy who's still somewhat fit

But that's some extra padding. Well, how much extra padding are we talking about here can you have a lot?

A man walked into a burger king in Pittsburgh. I know one was working there even though was open

He was looking all around

Word has it one person did show up, but they quit on the spot

Burger King said it was a fluke situation

That must have been weird going into someplace and not a person around anywhere

All right

Are some co-workers going nuts these days?

Got a list of things here

that

That are making co-workers lose their cool

unreasonable colleagues

Hard to believe a big workload when the computer decides to do an update at the worst time

I hate that the printer not working inappropriate work conversations dirty bathrooms

The IT department someone else pointed out a mistake you've made colleagues taking personal calls on work time

I leave you dirty cups and bowls all around the office

That could make yeah, that's a bad work environment

Now I don't blame the workers for that. I blame the managers for letting that get out of hand. I mean

Talk to your workers

All right snow two to four inches today highs near 35 degrees cloudy tonight lows around 26 Sunday tomorrow cloudy on Sunday

Temperatures above freezing each day 41 on Sunday. That's not bad six 29 WRCH and all down to radio refreshed

The next time you're at a birthday party with one of your guy friends and they bring the birthday cake out

After everybody finishes singing happy birthday and right before he blows out the candles you blow out the candles

He will be really upset, but he'll be embarrassed as to the reason that he's upset

He stole my wish I was gonna wish for a challenge pony

and I found it yesterday and I have no idea what those notes mean

I wrote 225 dash 23 and I you know circle it and

we'll let the explanation point 225 dash 23 what the heck did that mean

it was important to me I don't know when I were I says here uh 2022 but I think I wrote it way

after that yeah I wrote it way after that because it was over the red pen I didn't have a red pen

till like last year 225 dash 23 I have no idea why I wrote that and what it means

so I've been looking at that for the past 10 minutes what is that and it was important to me to

have to circle it and put an explanation mark next to it huh okay this is

but true the last Salem witch was pardoned about a year or so ago by the state of Massachusetts

the witch's name was Elizabeth Johnson Jr she was sentenced to death 329 years ago in the year 1693

that was during the Salem witch trials the governor back then stopped the execution

but she was never cleared of the charges of being a witch until now a group of eighth graders made

it happen by researching what the state had to do to officially pardon her so Elizabeth Johnson

Jr is no longer a witch a girl's juniors I didn't think so but anyway uh they accused they accused

everybody of being a witch and they didn't like your look on your face you were a witch if they

didn't like the way you walked you were a witch wow what a horrible time to live in Salem

Massachusetts whoa they were just burning people at the state and I'd be careful of that whoa

all right travel chip here you go a few ways to make your bags come out first after your flight

if you check at the last minute your bags beyond the plane last so let me first off

you can ask where a fragile sticker when you check your bag I heard those don't work but they claim

they do since those bags are loaded late or you can fly fly first class will work toward getting

airline status and those bags will get your priority tags on your bags that's just something

the other day somebody posted on Facebook they were taking a video of the baggage handlers and

there were I guess boxes with live fish in them I mean they're like goldfish type of fish and

they were in containers it's a handed with care live fish and they were just throwing them

dropping them they were upside down so much for those stickers all right here's some great news

you know we need 12 minutes of exercise a week to stay healthy a study found people who worked out

intensely as possible for four minutes three times a week so significant improvements in their

health don't believe it for a second but then we had a story about a pill you take that you don't

need to exercise ever two out of five people say they've gained weight because of their job I believe

it most say at least 10 pounds the two main reasons are stress and sitting all day yeah let's talk

about people in radio we all we do is sit a top five jobs where people gain weight and administrative

assist our administrative assistants engineers teachers nurses IT workers and let's face it

disc jockeys so there are all the DJs I know are fat don't have a lot of friends here are five

explains happened I'm going to do any of those things and people still don't like me so I don't

I can't I don't know and a survey 58% of people say they're either somewhat or very underpaid only

two percent of people say they're paid too much the occupations people feel are underpaid include

factory workers disc jockeys farmers nurses disc jockeys restaurant workers retail employees day

care workers disc jockeys and people teachers rather people say the most overpaid occupations politicians

and pro athletes yes yes I agree politicians away because those that's the only job I know

where the employee the politician can vote themselves a pay raise could you imagine going to your

boss and say oh by the way right here in the office is voted themselves a pay raise so that should

kick in oh tomorrow you do imagine doing that politicians do it all the time in Congress they've

bought themselves pay raises what they should do is have the people vote a pay raise for them

they wouldn't give up a raise they're making too much now for what they do a massive new American

theme the muslim park was supposed to be coming to Oklahoma last year just off route 66 it's going

to be called American heartland theme park and resort it's opening they say in 2026 cost two

billion dollars it's around the same size as disney land even the layout is similar some of

the designers used to work for Disney so that might be why it's not clear how much tickets will

cause but they say they want to make it more affordable than Disney or universal studios tours

all right so it's coming to by route 66 to local home I've been there that does it say then say

the town though yeah American heartland theme park and resort all right good for them

hope it works an assistant manager to Burger King and South Carolina got fired and he's

facing up to 20 years in prison yes for this guy did he didn't steal anything he intentionally

served french fries out of the garbage pale I think if those people got a good lawyer

in the lawsuit against that Burger King odd but true because there's a toy in every happy meal

McDonald's is the world's largest distributor of toys on a similar note the largest producers

of tires in the world not firestone not good year Lego but true a survey has people to name the

time of day when they're least productive the average answer is 255 p.m that's about halfway

between lunch and getting out for the day the most productive time of the day is 1026 a.m

this summer bad service or in friendly staff uncomfortable beds everything's too expensive when

you get there and bad food and noisy people boy I just I'm not you know I like hotels you know

nice hotels and stuff but I still never get a good night sleep in a hotel I can't explain why

I know one of our engineers here Eric he's like all over the state with our

with our radio stations and he's always staying in hotels and I can ask him do you really like staying

in hotels Eric I mean because he's always in a hotel because he's traveling around the state

we can get him a little tent in a sleeping bag

a lot of saves of money I can ask him if that you might sleep in hotels all the time

question you always get a good breakfast in a hotel those breakfast buffets they are really good

I do like those according to a former designer for Google an easy way to make your phone

less addictive is to make everything black and white scotier settings change your color filters

to grayscale and it usually is in your accessibility menu obviously it's not pretty to look at

but that's not the point subconsciously you won't care as much if it's in black and white

you won't be checking it all the time huh I need to do this like ASAP I have always checking my phone

I don't think the color thing is going to matter they say it is though we'll give it a shot

what's the number one thing you have to do each morning to get your day off to a good start

a survey found the top five things drinking coffee never tried coffee in my life getting

enough sleep taking a shower eating a light breakfast and listening to music

I never hit this news button so I hit it on the other day but I can go back to sleep

I was still in the room you know I was awake doing stuff but I just wanted it to remind me

that you know time is running out that's so yeah let's see what else we got here for you this

morning uh Walt Disney's last words before he died this is weird when Walt Disney passed

what I think he died in um then say here but I think it was 1960 60 passed away Walt Disney's last

words were Kurt Russell huh he lost the ability to speak so he wrote them on a piece of paper

we was probably thinking of some movie ideas since Kurt Russell has decided 10-year contract

with Walt Disney but I'd like to be Kurt Russell and the last thing that Walt Disney set or

wrote down in his entire life was your name that's got to be spooky or you know you feel honored

what are the other I said and by the way Walt Disney was not frozen he's buried somewhere he was

everybody said oh cryogenically frozen and you know they'll try to wake him up someday and never

happen a survey found the average parent spends 11 minutes a day trying to get their kid to eat

fruits and veggies the most popular tricks they use hiding them under other dishes come on

kids know that I know that too my wife tried to with me all the time giving kids rewards for

finishing them making up stories about their benefits you know my mother always said eat the bread

the whole crust at the crust is the most important part where all the vitamins are what a crock

I bought that hook blind and say because my mother told it to me of course I'm going to believe

that was a big lie I think I told this story before I'm not a big vegetable leader I never was

and my mother never used to serve me vegetables at the dinner table because she knew it would start

a fight so she wanted peace in the family one day she slipped up and she put some peas on my plate

and she knew as well she went to take him off my father said no leave him there he's gonna eat

them and I said I'm not gonna eat them I can't eat them I'm gonna throw up if I eat them

and my father's you're gonna eat them or you're not leaving the table I said okay I won't leave

the table I knew I wouldn't be able to hold them down so they went down to the family room in the

basement and they watched TV for two hours and I sat at that table I just sat there I didn't do

anything I just stayed at the wall and I didn't eat the peas my father came upstairs after two

hours with my brother and my mother and said go to bed I have never eaten because I eat them

in vegetable soup but I've never eaten I've never had broccoli cauliflower any of that stuff I did

I think I told you the cauliflower story once I'll tell you some other time I did have to take a bite

the bad ones that can make good people upset and ruin their lives absolutely how about those two

you know I and my problem is I want to all these police videos on YouTube with these people

getting arrested for shoplifting I was watching when yesterday Walmart seems to be the store

they're stealing from I don't know why maybe because there's a lot of Walmart and they tend to steal

from those self checkout things because easy what they do is they hold two things in their hand

they scan one and put them both in the bag it's hard to see it on the on the security monitor

so they catch them and they get them outside once they leave the building we get to their car they

wanted to think oh I was going to pay for it yeah what after you got home what are you going to do

and they oh I didn't take anything can you have a receipt for this oh yeah I've got a receipt
