The Don Rosen Show · Tue Apr 2, 2024

Thank you very, very much.

Well, let's get the gray hair out of the way.

Because if I don't, you won't listen to a word I say for an hour.

You'll be out there. Did you know anything about the gray hair?

I'm just as befuddled as you.

I don't know what happened either.

COVID hit. I went into hibernation and came out of senior citizen.

Just as well. I was never comfortable in the hair color aisle anyway.

You always have to pretend like you're there for someone else.

Women, huh?

I like the difference in hair color names between women and men.

Women have hair color names like Ruby Fusion.

Chocolate cherry, butter scotch, men's hair color, brown, black, light brown, dark black.

For men, that is the entire color spectrum.

All in the street, been upon by the band, bringing its best happy feet.

Who's the head's the white bow, people just got a smile.

Who gets home to the base, and solo's for a while.

So far, twang, the rhythm, how, all this color can do.

And willing goes into a dance, doubles on the zoo, down on the corner.

Out in the street, been upon by the band, bringing its best happy feet.

If I'm not mistaken, and I could be mistaken, I've been mistaken before,

if I'm not mistaken, Creedence was one of the groups who performed in Woodstock in 1969,

but refused to be in the movie Woodstock.

I think they were one of the groups that wouldn't let their performance be in the movie.

Big mistake, huh?

Out in the street, been upon by the band, bringing its best happy feet.

At 609 at WRGM Radio, I'm Don Rose, and I want to thank you for joining me here on this

drizzly Tuesday morning, April 2.

And opening day to day, the rain doesn't matter, we've got a roof.

Unlike the New York Metz, who didn't have a roof at City Field in Queens, New York,

when the opening day for the, you know, Major League.

So it was postponed, but we've got a roof.

So it doesn't make any difference.

The twins will take on the brewers today of their home opener,

at 2.35 p.m., the game on WRGM, if you can't make it to the game,

you can tailgate in your own kitchen and listen to the game on WRGM.

How do you like that?

How do you put a couple of brats in the brother on the stove?

Yeah, that's not a bad idea.

Don't just think it about it.

Maybe that's not a, that's not such a bad idea.

Put a couple of, get a couple of brats today.

Go to the market, get a couple of brats, put them in the broiler,

and listen to the game.

Well, I like that.

I just thought of that.

All right.

So the twins in the brewers today, home opener at, at American Family Field in a

2.35 p.m. on WRGM, your home of the brewers, 162 games.

We're already down a couple.

This will, this will be a 2.35 this afternoon.

That's good.

It's drizzling right now, 39 degrees, rain, maybe mixing with snow,

ice near 38 today, tonight's snow, maybe mixing with rain.

I don't know what the difference is.

Loads around 33.

So snow, add rain tomorrow with either 38.

People say, you know, I was watching the channel 12 news,

and I love those meteorologists over there.

They're very good.

They're talented.

They know their stuff.

But I have a feeling TV meteorologists want to,

they want to create a little bit of panic.

Not a lot.

A little bit so you watch their newscasts.

And there's nothing wrong with that, I guess.

But they said, you should have three inches up to three inches of snow this morning.

Come on.

The ground is wet.

There's not even, there's no snow anywhere.

They always do that.

They always make, you know, well, you could have anywhere up to three inches of snow.

Yeah, we can have any from zero to three inches.

I don't mention the zero part.

They mention the three inch part.

And when it's 38 degrees outside, I don't think you're going to get snow on the streets

or the sidewalk.

38 degrees is not conducive to piles of snow.

But just in case they were right.

I didn't take my, my brush out of the back seat of the car to brush off the car.

Yeah, I kept them in the back seat.

I made a big mistake.

I put it away a week or so ago when we had the snow and I had to go dig it out of the trunk.

My wife put the snow shovel away again the other day.

And once you put it away the first time she had to bring it out because we had a shovel.

We had that slushy snow or whatever.

She put it away again.

They break this snow.

So we just leave it out through the fourth of July and we'll be safe.

All right.

So there you go.

Let's see, drizzle 39 degrees right now.

See, not going to get these snow when it's 39 degrees.

It just doesn't, you know, happen.

That's 612 WRJN radio coming up this morning at 706.

It's very interesting.

We have an interesting WRJN historical marker number six coming up.

Terry Bond is going to be our marker today.

Talk about the history of WRJN radio.

Terry passed away a little while ago, not too long ago.

I know enough about Terry's life to talk about it, but his wife, Linda Bond, who was one of the people,

I think VP over at the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association, is going to talk, you know,

I'm going to fill in the gaps.

The parts that I don't know because I worked with Terry for about 20 years.

And so I know a little bit about his career and she knows the personal part of Terry.

What a great guy.

What a fabulous engineer.

What a great human being.

Just a nice person.

When I first arrived in Milwaukee, from Atlanta, the first person I met in radio was Terry Bond.

I went to the radio station first thing in the morning.

I stayed at the Fister Hotel where I got my car broken into.

Somebody broke the lock and broke up the, I had my cocktail in the car two overnight in my bird.

And luckily they didn't do anything to him.

So I told the chickie the house dick over at the Fister.

I said, I can't leave him in the car.

I don't trust the hotel.

So he said, I'll put him in your room.

So we got him up there.

So anyway, when I got out of the Fister and I went to the radio station, it was WZW103.7 FM in Milwaukee.

I went there in the first person and I opened the door.

I saw was Terry Bond and that was in 1980, March of 1980, March or April of 1980, one of those two days.

So I ran it to Terry and we were friends ever since.

And when he left WZW and I left and I came here to WRG and he became our engineer here as well.

So yeah.

So I know Terry.

So we're going to do historical marker number six, Terry Bond today at the 706 with his wife Linda Bond.

He's a great guy.

Terry.

So we're going to talk about that.

614 WRGN radio again, rain, maybe mixing with some snow today.

Highs near 38 drizzle right now.

Kind of a misty drizzle and 39 degrees.

Happy 20th birthday to Gmail.

Google announced it on April 1, 2004.

And people thought, well, you know what's an April fools day joke.

Google already had history of pranking people on April fools day in 2000.

They posted a spinning wheel instead.

If you stare at it while thinking of a search term, Google confined it instead.

An error message would pop up with things like try again after removing your hat, removing your glasses and removing your shoes.

You know what the sad part is?

There's some gullible people out there who did it.

Doesn't that scare you?

These people all around us and they would do something like that.

All right.

So happy birthday to Gmail 20th birthday yesterday.

The world uses Gmail, I guess.

You know, when are we going to say so long March.

Hello, April.

Here are a couple of things.

Look forward to this month.

A lot in sports this month.

It's one of the best months of the year for sports fans.

The women's final four is Friday with a championship game on Sunday.

The men's final four is Saturday with that championship game next Monday.

Then the master's starts on April 11th.

The NBA playoffs start the 20th.

They're in the playoffs already.

And the Stanley Cup playoffs start the 22nd.

The NFL draft kicks off on April 25th.

So a big month for sports and theaters.

The new don't tell mom the babysitters dead remake lands on the big screen April 12th.

Sasquatch Sunset with Jesse Eisenberg and Riley Kio opens up on the 19th.

The Ministry of Unchitimately Warfare arrives that same day.

And Zondaya's new movie Challenger opens up on April 26th.

And we have the holidays.

The big one pass over April 22nd through the 30th.

Pass over used to coincide with each with Easter.

Not this year though.

National Beer Day.

April 7th National Pet Day.

The 11th.

Earth Day.

The 22nd in Arbor Day.

The 26th.

I remember the very first Earth Day.

I was in high school.

And Gaylord Nelson, the Congressman from Wisconsin.

Started Earth Day.

And it was April 22nd each year.

And it was the day to celebrate the Earth.

You know, thank you Earth for everything you, you know, you do for us all year long.

Anyway, so what we did our classes was a nice day.

So we did classes under the trees.

On the school grounds.

We had an Earth Day assembly.

We did a whole bunch and I really loved it.

I just love that day and every while I was in my junior year.

So the senior year we did it as well.

And yeah, we celebrated the Earth Day in school.

It was really nice.

We took all the classes were outside that day.

Happened to be a beautiful day.

So we did that.

And it was the center of the Gaylord Nelson, the Congressman.

Yes, center of the Gaylord Nelson from Wisconsin.

Started Earth Day.

So that was good.

That was good.

And don't forget Arbor Day coming up on April 26th.

Just a couple of days later.

Arbor Day.

Which is to celebrate the plants, the trees, you know, things like that.

That's where the word Arboridim comes from.

Or Arbor comes from Arboridim.

All right, there may be a new trend.

Get this trend posting online gift registries for people's divorce.

It's not as crazy as it may sound.

The idea is that people can be financially vulnerable at the time of a split.

And they may only have half of their everyday supply.

So you can help them out.

It's not a horrible idea.

So it sounds kind of goofy on the surface.

But it's not dropping Easter filled candy eggs from helicopters has become a thing.

But in the Indianapolis on Saturday, it was pretty dangerous.

What happened was the helicopter flew so low to the ground, it dropped 10,000 eggs.

But it was only a few feet off the ground when it did it.

Luckily, no kids got hurt.

But, you know, there are better ideas than that.

All right.

Let's see.

I'm going to get to this in a minute here.

I'll get to that one in another minute because it takes a little more time.

Journalists have been told to stop stealing from Air Force One.

They're swiping things like branded pillowcases, glasses and gold rim plates.

Which journalist are doing that?

I want names.

I want to know the names of the thieves out there who are stealing.

It's a tax dollars Air Force One.

That's where, you know, we're paying for that stuff.

And they're stealing it.

I want names.

I want names and news organizations.

I'm having so much fun.

Well, Bobby, we're just getting started.

It's not a terrible song.

That's not terrible at all.

I like that song.

They say it's one of the worst songs of the 90s.

I don't think so.

There was like a whole bunch of songs on the list here.

But those are the ones I picked out that I kind of don't think are that bad.

That Barbie girl's owned by Agua.

I remember that.

That says the 90s all over it, doesn't it?

Of course, it got a little bit of a revival because of the movie, Barbie.

Sometimes they really got away with that, allowing to talk about the Barbie toy on in that song.

Anyway, they did it.

Anyway, so there you go.

The worst songs of the 90s.

I don't quite agree with it.

Did you see this video about the saw blade going through the parking lot?

Did you see that?

By an Oregon is lucky to be alive after a runaway saw blade missed him by two seconds.

He was walking into a corner convenience store.

A four foot circular blade broke free from a construction site nearby.

It went at high speed, rolling through this parking lot and slammed into the wall of the convenience store.

So hard.

It rocked the whole building and missed this guy by two seconds.

Wow.

Now, one of the construction workers blamed it on a loose bolt and a potential operator error.

Yeah.

What's going on with bolts?

The bolts are falling out of doors on planes.

They're falling out of circular saws.

They are so lucky.

Nobody was in that parking lot crossing the street or in front of that convenience store.

This thing would have killed him.

It was huge.

It was four feet tall.

Big blade.

But it killed him.

They are so lucky.

Nobody got hurt.

But you got to see the video.

Look it up.

It's just put in the saw blade.

Misses guy.

And you'll see this thing.

They had a television.

They ran on one of the news shows.

This guy does not lucky.

He was a woman in Florida woke up to find her car destroyed.

Turned out several dogs did it after going after a neighbor's cat.

No one knows where the dogs came from because $3,000 worth of damage.

Yeah.

Blaming on the dog.

Dogs ate the homework.

Dogs ruined the car.

Yeah.

Somebody did not receive the memo.

Arizona named Pluto, the official planet of the state.

Even though Pluto was no longer considered the full on planet.

Officially now it's a dwarf planet.

So that's what they named their official planet.

All right.

She was a congresswoman or senator.

She was something big in politics.

Not really an adult.

But then she you know wise up and shifted her life.

You know, it was all over her at that point in the movies.

All right.

She became one of the subjects in that document series

Now Amanda Bines hasn't commented on the quiet on the set series.

But she did update fans.

Let her know she's doing better after battling depression.

She's one of the people who is mentioned or talked about.

One of the subjects of quiet on the set.

Hey, are you terrified of consuming food after the expiration date?

I am.

I'm trying to do a food expert.

There were some foods that are still safe to eat a week or more

after their best by date.

Milk, eggs, pasta, cheese, bag lettuce, and most canned foods.

Also dry ingredients like flour, sugar, and salt last a long time.

I remember the Jerry Seinfeld bit.

He said, you ever go into the refrigerator and see the date?

And it's tonight's date.

I mean, at midnight, it changes.

Oh, no, we got to drink a gallon of milk by midnight tonight.

Everybody get a glass.

Let's go.

If I see the data, oh, no.

I got to drink that milk by midnight tonight or it goes bad.

That's exactly what I do.

Our dating app for seniors called our time,

pulled a bunch of people 50 and up.

And asked how old they were when they felt the sexiest.

The average answer was 53 years old.

40% said they stopped worrying about other people.

Think of them.

This is that could possibly have something to do with it.

Here's a good news story for you.

I love good news stories and make you feel good this morning.

A woman in California went to CVS pharmacy to get pain meds

for an infected tooth.

But realized she didn't have the slip of paper saying was covered by insurance.

So she broke down when she realized she didn't have the $20 to pay for the medicine.

And she was in pain.

Then the pharmacist reached across the counter, swiped his own, her own credit card.

The woman tried to pay her back, but the pharmacist refused to accept any money

and said here, take the pain meds.

I'm telling you, you hear these, you listen to the news, the national news.

Your horror stories about how our politicians are, you know, getting indicted

and horrible things going on in this world.

Thieves, murderers, then you hear something like this.

We're a pharmacist.

The side of this woman is not going to live in pain another day

and swiped her own credit card to pay for her pain meds.

Doesn't that give you a little bit of faith in the human condition again?

Yeah.

5,000 parents were asked to name the top things they loved during outdoors when they were kids.

These were the top five.

Hide and seek.

Water balloon fights.

Tag.

Going to the playgrounds.

Playing sports and lighting dog poop on fire in the bag.

No, they never do that.

You always hear stories about that where they, you know, we put a bag of dog poop on their

step and we lit a lot of fire.

I never heard anybody ever do that.

Only on television shows and movies.

The top five hide and seek.

We used to play that.

We used to use water guns.

We used to shoot people with water guns.

Tag.

Going to playgrounds.

We did that and playing sports.

You know, my dad did.

He got a can of white paint.

And he painted bases on the street so we can play kickball.

And baseball, wiffle ball, whatever we wanted to play on the street.

And he was brand new street.

I got a bucket of paint and paid at home base.

The first, second and third plates.

And he painted them right on the street for a long time until they repaid the street again.

We all played on those bases.

It was great.

I got my dad probably broke the law by painting on the street, but he said, you know,

these kids need a place to play.

And that's what we did.

You ever pretend we do this a few times.

It was terrible.

One kid stands on one side of the street and other kids stands on the other and pretend

you have a rope and you pretend you're pulling on it like a tug of war.

And the cars come by and they slow down because they think you got a rope across the street.

Meanwhile, you don't have anything.

We did that.

That's not nice.

But you know, when you're nine years old, eight years old, I guess you do that kind of stuff.

Oh, well, odd but true.

A man in the UK has shoes tattooed on his feet because he started a paint for new shoes.

Odd but it is true.

Somebody did that.

Isn't that weird?

Someone asked people to name the worst purchases they've ever made in their lifetime.

A guy paid $20 to sign up for unlimited rentals at his local blockbuster.

Then it shut down within a month.

You know, those shape up shoes with rounded bottoms that are supposed to work out your legs.

Someone paid $100 for a pair of immediately spraying their ankle.

Never warm again.

A woman bought expensive crystal wine glasses when she turned 21.

Then realized drunk people in their 20s, 10th and knock a lot of stuff over and break them.

Someone paid a website $10 for secrets on how to become a millionaire.

They ended up getting a PDF with instructions on how to build a website and charge people $10 for secrets on how to become a millionaire.

So he's a scam out there.

Burger King once had a new burger in Thailand that didn't have any meat or toppings.

Just a bun with 20 slices of American cheese.

They're calling it the real cheeseburger.

There's no meat on it though, no burger.

A Paul found the average person experiences 140 moments of phone peril a year.

That's when you panic about your phone for one reason or another.

The top things that cause it include dropping your phone on the ground.

I'm thinking you left it somewhere absolutely phone peril.

There are some fuels to follow if you ever find yourself in a nude beach and I have.

Don't park your chair or blanket too close to anyone else.

No staring, no pictures.

And don't talk about anybody's body even if it's a compliment.

All right, you ready for this?

I was at a nude beach with my daughter.

Not as bad as it sounds. We were on a cruise.

And we're walking through the streets.

And one of our cruise people said to us, hey, you going to the nude beach?

I said, I am now. Where is it?

So it was down a ways.

And my daughter was wearing a bathing suit underneath her clothes.

I was not. And I went to the nude beach.

And sure enough, a lot of naked people there that shouldn't be naked.

And I'm talking to this couple.

They were from the town I grew up in.

And they were probably about in their late 70s.

Well, I'm talking to them. They take off all their clothes.

And they didn't know what to do with my eyes.

I mean, you don't want to look.

And I was talking to them.

And these two people all shriveled up standing there naked talking to me.

So I sat on this rock in the shade.

And this beautiful woman just took off all her clothes and laid down next to me.

And I snapped a picture to bring back home because I knew no one was going to believe me.

But most of the people of the nude beach shouldn't have been nude.

I had my clothes on.

I didn't bring any bathing suits on.

I wasn't taking off my clothes on the beach.

649 WRJN.

Thanks for joining us.

I was walking down a one way street just to look in.

For someone to meet one woman who is looking for a man.

Now I'm hoping, hoping, that the feeling is right and I'm working on it.

100.

If you'll stay for the night.

So I'm coming.

I don't want to be lonely.

Baby, please now.

I want to love you all over.

Do you believe in love?

Do you believe the truth?

Do you believe in love?

Do you believe in love?

Do you believe in love?

Do you believe in love?

Do you believe in love?

Do you believe in love?

Where does it go?

I'm going under under

So I'm letting you win

My woman, I don't want to be lonely

Baby, please let me

I want to love you all over

Do you believe in love?

Do you believe in love?

Do you believe in love?

Do you believe in love?

Do you believe in love?

Do you believe in love?

Do you believe in love?

Do you believe in love?

What ever happened to Huey Lewis in the news?

What ever happened to those guys?

They made a huge impact

when back to the future came out in 1985.

They had a few lot of hits on,

not a few, but a lot of hit songs,

and then gone they were.

What felt like Huey Lewis was my dad on stage?

He always had an older look about him,

like he, you know,

who's somebody's, you know, old dad.

What does that sound like?

He did have a couple of lines

in the movie back to the future

when Michael J. Fox's band

is performing for the Battle of the Band

or at least auditioning for Battle of the Band.

He says,

you're too loud.

Next, where was Huey Lewis's big line in the movie?

It was actually in a movie called Duets, I think,

where he had a leading role in that film.

It was actually pretty good when he came to acting.

Huey Lewis.

All right, like that.

653 WRJN coming up at 706 this morning,

Linda Barnes going to be here talking about

Terry Bonner, a husband

who recently passed away.

He was our engineer here at WRJN.

It's going to be WRJN historical marker number six.

And Linda Barnes going to talk about

Terry Bonn, her husband here at WRJN,

where he was an engineer.

But I worked with Terry years earlier.

We'll talk about that coming up.

A poll of young people found almost 3%

would rather sacrifice 10 years of their life

and give up social media.

It's going to strain that sense of priorities.

You won't feel that way

when you're like 60 years old

and somebody says,

well, you sacrificed the last 10 years.

You're going to live to 70.

All right, bye-bye.

You're going to say, no, no, I'll give up social media.

Yeah, you'd be surprised how quick you want to

change your mind.

Unfortunately, you can't.

I think VHS tapes have no value.

We're just talking about back to the future.

A sealed back to the future VHS tape

sold for $75,000.

But it wasn't just any old unopened VHS tape.

It belonged to Tom Wilson.

Biff.

Number two coats.

Biff from back to the future.

A tape was part of the first of its kind.

VHS only option.

160 tapes are sold including a copy of the goonies.

Or $50,000 in jaws for $32,500.

I have all my VHS tapes.

In mint condition,

including let it be by the beetles,

which is no longer available anywhere.

Unless you get a bootleg copy of it.

A fifth grader in Massachusetts named Xavier

went to state representative of the Orlando Ramos

with a concern.

You see, there was no lettuce on the tacos

that were being served at school.

Ramos contacted the food provider

and signed new legislation.

Now, from now on, lettuce will be included

on the menu for Taco Day

at his school, all schools.

The new bill extends distinct,

district wide.

Xavier says the tacos are much better now.

See what happens when you take things into your own hand?

Get involved.

Researchers have found that most people around the world

actually don't want to become billionaires.

As it turns out,

a lot of people could achieve their ideal life

with 10 million or so.

Or maybe just a little less, maybe, a lot less.

We'll find out a couple of days

because the power ball,

nobody won it last night,

so it goes up to a billion plus.

You know what I really,

the guy who won or whoever won

in New Jersey,

the $1.2 billion

from the mega millions.

Nobody walked out with $300 million.

That's not $1.2 billion.

What he did was he took the payout.

And he took it at like $500

plus million in taxes we're taking out.

It was $300 million,

which is not the advertised $1.2 billion.

You think you're going to walk out a billionaire

and you get $300 million,

a lot of money,

but it's not as advertised.

See, a radio did that.

We'd go to, you know,

get fines and stuff.

But I guess when the lottery does it,

it's okay.

He walks out with $300 million.

A lot, but not the advertised amount.

Sometimes people take the payout

because it's not the fact

there's going to take a long time over the 20 years.

Now, by the way, even after 20 years,

you don't get the, you don't get the $1.2 billion.

You think you do, but you don't.

It's still not $1.2 billion.

But they're afraid that over the course of 20 years,

some sleazy politician is going to pass a law

that says they can use the lottery money,

and they've got to take it back.

And you're not going to get your money

or absconding with your money.

And you know, politicians do that all the time.

They always take other people's money.

They don't do it themselves,

but they'll take other people's money.

OPM, other people's money.

Anyway, so that's why a lot of people

don't want to take this guy.

I didn't want to take the long payout.

He's afraid the politicians someday

will abscond with his money.

Anyway, take a chance.

He's not wrong.

You know, it could happen.

I don't know the exact amount.

It depends on how many tickets they sell, I guess.

Oh, let's see.

How is this even possible?

The homeless man was living in a car in Minnesota

with 47 cats in the car.

Again, how is that even possible?

So what they did was the cats were rescued

and made available for adoption.

Could you imagine the stink in that car?

47 cats.

Where did they go to the bathroom?

I mean, even if you have a litter box,

47 cats.

There's a long waiting line to use that litter box, huh?

658 WRJN.

hometown radio refreshed.

I'm Don Rosen.

We've got rain mixing with some snow

possibly today with a high-tier 38.

Snow possibly mixing with rains and I

lows around 33.

Rain and snow tomorrow with a high-tier 38.

They're talking accumulation,

but it's 38 degrees.

They're talking accumulation when you're nearing 40.

Anyway, right now, misty drizzle 39 degrees.

Don't forget, the home opener today,

the twins and the brewers.

235 right here at WRJN Radio,
