I find it hard to get out of a regular bed. It's always sad in the morning.
You're like, I'm going to miss you. You were wonderful last night. I didn't want it to end.
We never want it to end, right? That's why there's the snooze bar. Nothing like starting
the day off with a little procrastination.
As my first decision of the day, I will go back to sleep.
Come to the plants. This is a snooze bar destroyed. You hear the alarm. You're like, you know
what? I'm not going to the gym this morning. Snooze. Eight minutes later, you hear the alarm.
You know what? I took a long shower yesterday. Snooze. Eight minutes later, you hear the alarm.
You know what? I always wanted to go on welfare. Snooze. The best is when you wake up, you
look at the clock and you see it still have time to sleep. It's like finding a thousand
dollars. This is my lucky day slash night slash day.
Silver city's rise, the morning lights, the streets that lay there. And sirens call
them on with the sun. It's asking for the taking, training, shaking, all my heart is
shaking. We're coming to the edge running on the water, coming to the barb, your suns
and water. We're leaving the greatest home, stand on a star and place a trail of
love. It's asking for the taking, come run with me now. The sky is the cover of
the blue. You've never even seen in the eyes of your heart. My heart is shaking. We're coming
to the edge running on the water, coming to the barb, your suns and water.
It's asking for the taking, training, shaking, all my heart is
shaking. We're coming to the edge running on the water, coming to the barb, your suns
and water. We're leaving the greatest home, stand on a star and place a trail of love.
We're coming to the edge running on the water, coming to the edge running on the water,
coming sunny with a hot air 43 clear tonight, lows around 34 tomorrow,
cloudy chance of showers and thunderstorm size near 54.
The weekend showers and thunderstorms possible both days.
Right now it's cloudy in 39 degrees, right?
39 and I wore a very light spring jacket and I don't wear long sleeve shirts ever.
So I'm wearing a short sleeve shirt to boot.
What a dumb move that was this morning.
The Brawlers will take on the Pirates in Pittsburgh 505 here on WRJN tonight.
We have got Beth Heidorn from the Racine Zoo coming up a little later on about 750 Nish.
She is going to talk about some of the events coming up at the Racine Zoo.
That's straight ahead.
We've got some tickets to get boy to the state fair.
Your choice of three.
I held a four fingers just now.
Your choice of three shows that are coming.
You get to pick one which you want tickets for.
Why do I do that?
I just went in the studio.
I held up four.
I said three shows, but I held up four fingers.
And that's got to be some syndrome.
But I'm sure there's a medical name for that.
Three, but I held up four.
You know, they do that on Simpson's too.
And they throw it in our face.
You know, all the characters with the accepted of God,
exception of God in Jesus had four fingers on their hands,
because it just looks better in animation.
So when anybody on the Simpson says four,
they hold up one hand.
And when they say five, they hold up one hand and one finger
from the other hand to show the number five.
And they have five.
And yeah, God and Jesus have five fingers on each hand on the assumptions.
And they ask the writers who attack them.
They have five.
And their answer was they're perfect.
All right.
Good answer.
6-11.
WRT and radio today is a palindrome.
You know what a palindrome is?
Now, nobody told me today was a palindrome.
I actually figured that yesterday when I was working
doing some work, a palindrome is when something backwards
and forwards is exactly the same.
So if you write today's date on a piece of paper numerically,
it's four dash, 24 dash, 24.
Backwards, that's four dash, 24 dash, 24.
It's both ways.
So today is a palindrome.
You don't get many of those.
That's one now.
Okay.
So enjoy the day.
And you sound smart at work today.
Did you know today's a palindrome?
What's a palindrome?
Well, as being a member of Mensa, we know this kind of stuff.
A palindrome is, hold on a second.
Let me hear what Don said.
Yeah.
Don said that.
Yeah.
Okay.
It's the same backwards and forwards.
Four, 24 dash, 24.
April 24th.
Palindrome.
There you go.
A little smarter, aren't you?
Okay.
It's 6-12, 6-13 at WRT and I'm Don Rosen.
I want to thank you for joining us today.
You know, seeing articles like this cannot be a good sign for the economy.
Someone did a write-up on the best things in your house to sell for parts.
Like if you have an old junk or car in the garage, the old engine could get you 500 bucks.
Those airbags are expensive, $200 a piece.
Then you've got computers, board games, electric guitars.
And this one I didn't know about specific pieces for old Lego sets.
Go for a lot of money.
Who knew all that cash laying around the house and in your garage.
Finance buzz wants to pay a first time or a thousand dollars to watch all nine Star Wars
movies.
Huh.
They want someone to evaluate and rate the Skywalker saga to give an outside is perspective.
I've only seen the first Star Wars.
That's the only one I've seen and I was forced to see that.
Our radio station where I worked my first radio station in 1977, we held the premiere
for the Star Wars movie.
The people, you know, I guess Fox came to our radio station.
It was held at the center, I'm a theater long, I didn't the big center, I'm a screen.
And they printed up tickets for us with our logo and everything and they wanted us to
give away.
I think the center, I'm a theater held about almost 2000 people is huge.
So we had a thousand tickets to give away and we filled it, you know, got our thousand
and the staff went and I didn't care for the movie.
I just didn't think it was that big a deal.
What do I know?
I thought the Super Mario Brothers and Barbie movies were going to be flops.
So what do I know?
So maybe I can get the thousand because I can't ever remember the first one.
So maybe I can get that thousand dollars, but you can't watch all nine Star Wars films.
That could be, you know, that once asked Cisco and Ebert, they said, you have a real
push job because you think so.
We have to sit through bad movies all week long and you've got to sit in that seat and
watch that bad movie because you got a right to review of it.
So you've got to see all of it.
And when you have to sit through hours and hours of hours of bad movies, you won't think
it's such a push job.
I said to a bad movie once in a theater, I couldn't wait for the thing to end just please
and I was with a date so I couldn't walk out.
So I'm sitting there watching this movie, please let it end there early.
I just can't stand it anymore.
A third, a third of Americans wouldn't actually mind living in a van down by the river.
Thirty thousand people pulled 36% yeah, a van life is something they consider.
Now before you say yes to van life, there was a movie won the Academy Award for best picture
of the year.
It was called no madland with Francis McDormand.
My wife and I watched it about three or four times.
It's that good.
It's about living in a van.
It is not glamorous, especially when she had to take a lesson on how to set up a bathroom
in her van with a cup, a little thin can cup.
It's not a glamorous life.
It really isn't you live in a little van get together.
What they do is all the people who have the vans get together.
They live in a parking, you know, out in the desert somewhere then they move on to the
next one, move on, move on.
It is not glamorous at all.
You would think it would be living the hippie life.
It's not watching no madland.
You'll get a different perspective on that.
Odd but true.
Excuse me, odd but true.
Four percent of people have never had a headache in their life.

California might ban the clear feature in airports.
You know what that is?
The clear feature.
Unless you pay $189 a year to skip the security line.
Now the new bill claims it's just letting the rich people cut in line and, you know, get
ahead of the line.
So for $189 all the terrorists can just skip the line.
That doesn't make sense at all.
The whole idea of security is to check everybody out for the get on the plane.
Now I find out they're the guy next to me.
Maybe skip the security line for $189 bucks.
Here's a fun fact.
Your body contains .2 milligrams of gold before you get all excited.
It's only worth about a penny.
Thank you.
Don't drain your body to get the gold.
The 35 year old guy in England just proposed to his girlfriend while running the London
marathon with a refrigerator strapped to his back.
He proposed that the 25 mile mark can finish it in under six hours.
Now the cops had to stop him during a training run a few months back.
They thought he was stealing a refrigerator on his back.
He's actually doing to raise money for diabetes research.

He fell short of that.
They congrats on the engagement because she said yes.

You think you do, but you don't.
And I'll tell you why you don't because when you get done doing that,

I work it free.
Plays a song we can slow down so we want to hold each other.
Plays a groove so we hardly know.
Just let our hearts beat together.
Oh baby, cause it feels so good.

You know you got the love inside.
What would touch me when we're dancing?

That was the last hit song the carpenters had.
That's been well on dancing.
As a matter of fact, I think it was the last music video she filmed
during Carpenters for Japan's away.
That was so sad.
What a talented duo, her and her brother.
And by the way, they're not the carpenters.
The music carpenters made it clear.
The name of the group is just called Carpenters.
It's like the group pretenders or scorpions.
There's no law in front of it.
What she passed away, they were showing the music video on all the newscast.
Cause that was the last you could see in the music video how thin she was.
It was very obvious that she had just lost a ton of weight.
That's what did her in.
She just kept losing weight.
And you can see it on this video.
It's 623 at WRJN Radio.
I'm Don Rosen.
I want to thank you for joining us here at Civic Media, Home Down Radio, Refreshed.

Meth and Fedamines.
More on news.
All right.
What counts as old age these days?
Well, depends who you ask.
Today's middle age adults say it begins in your mid to late 70s.
I'm sure people in their mid to late 70s say it begins in your mid to late 80s.
You know, I remember when I was I wasn't 13 yet.
But I remember while my brother turned 13.
So I must have been about seven years old.
I said, well, if the life is over at 13.
Oh, you're so then it was 18.
Then I remember my brother turned 21.
I said, oh, that's the end of life.
21.
And then it became 30 from 40 and 50.
As you get older, that old age limit goes up and up and up.
Health officials in Australia telling people, if you're bitten by a venomous snake,

All the kids are, you know, getting together in the summer and they're just hanging out
eating ice cream and pizza after midnight.
So they want to ban ice cream and pizza after midnight.

There's an app called new new.
Let's recharge people $5 to vote and make choices for you.
Like we're to have lunch or would you go on a date with?
Then you do whatever, you know, gets the most votes.
So you got to pay $5 to tell that person what to do.

That can't be still around.
And this was just recently too.
That can't be still in business.
Who is paying?
And then the app people have to get money too.
I assume what a scam.
A bar just reopened in England auctioned off the first beer they poured in over a year,

You know, that's not a bad idea when a new bar opens up or into new ownership auction

That's not a bad idea.
Stupidest it sounds.
It's a good idea.

You're at Civic Media's hometown radio refresh.
Look something on your face at 10.
You leave it there.
You don't know the difference?
I thought I was getting glasses because I couldn't tell what my parents looked like.
Because every time I'd ask them other to buy me something, she'd say,
what do I look like, a bank?
And you know what I was thinking?
When you're 10, your parents are the bank.
You know what I mean?
If I'm 10, I need money.
Could I walk in and chase when I didn't get money?
The teller was just going to say to me, what do I look like?
Your mother?
Take the road for us.
I also had braces.
I'm wanting to get this picture now.
OK, glasses at 10, braces at 12.

So listen to your sound boy.
You're out of your mind.
Do you think I'm going to spend your mother in the rain?

Finance manager.
This jockey.
No, I threw that last one in.
It's really a job where you don't have to break it back to work.
You really don't.
You ask anybody in radio.
I mean, one of the reasons they're in there is because they don't want to work hard.
So they.
You know who works hard?
The engineers work hard.
They got a slip equipment in the building.
They got to lug it in.
They got to set it up.
And they got to carry heavy things.
And got a, you know, stick their fingers and sockets.
And, you know, they work hard.

Okay.
We want to play today.
All right.
I've been doing it so long that I forgot.
It's actually work.
What else I got for you here?
Hey, you never know what your angel is.
A nurse in Texas got on the ward for saving a guy who crashed his motorcycle last year.
She was driving when it happened.
Got to him immediately kept him calm for 20 minutes, made sure he didn't move his head.
Turns out he had a neck injury too.
His doctors say if she had not been there, he probably would have been paralyzed for the rest of his life.
My wife was convinced I had a guardian angel.
I'm going to tell you two stories here.
This was here in Racine.
Everywhere I went, this guy was there.
I don't think he knew me.
He was just there.
And he was a little different looking.
So he was very easy to spot.
He wasn't, you know, I can say normal or regular, but he just didn't a little off.
But he was everywhere I went.
And my wife said, there he is.
There he is.
We go to the supermarket.
We found some there shopping.
Then we, you know, be at an event or something.
There he was.
He was everywhere.
She said, he's got to be your guardian angel.
He's always there.
But how do you see him?
If he's my guardian angel, are you able to see him?
Anyway, so we thought he was my guardian angel.
My ex sister-in-law.
Really, she is just a sweet person.
But she said she can talk to the dead.
And she used to do it for people.
And one day, she says, I have to talk to you about something.
This is way back a long time ago.
And I said to her, what do you want to talk about?
She goes, I spoke to your guardian angel.
I said, oh, I don't want to hear that.
And she said, no, it's important.
And I said, I don't want to hear it.
She said, I really have to talk to you.
Now, keep in mind, Debbie did not know my, you know, extended family, you know, my mother's
side and everything.
And she said, I said, who's my guardian angel?
She said, you're Aunt Lil.
But I didn't understand it.
She said, she's really not your aunt.
Well, my grandmother's best friend.
My grandmother's best friend was Lily and Wine Trab.
And we just used to call her Aunt Lil because she was always around Aunt Lil, but she wasn't
really my aunt.
Okay, now you've got my interest.
She said, Aunt Lil said, something is going to be happening and you're going to think
it's terrible, but it will turn out okay.
What is going to happen that's so terrible?
She wasn't clear on that.
She just said, something terrible is going to happen, but it'll be okay.
Well, something did happen at a radio station I was working at.
There was a whole big problem going on there and it was really bad.
It really was.
It was really bad.
But turned out okay.
Everything went away.
It was really, you know, turned out everything was taken care of and everything was fine.
Now you've got my interest because it was a week after she told me that, that the
problem at work happened and all right, what else do you know?
So she said, Aunt Lil is my guardian angel.
Wow.
Isn't that something that she came up and said, something big is going to happen at work,
but it will turn out okay.
And one week later, look what happened.
So I told this to a person I worked with.
I told him the whole story.
He said, what else did she say?
I said, what do you mean?
What else does she say?
I don't know.
She said anything.
She said, can I get in touch with the sister law of yours?
And I said, please, it's nonsense.
He goes, but it all came true.
I said, if I tell you to pick the number three and that wins a million dollars, does
that mean I'm clairvoyant and I could, you know, pick the number three?
Anyway, it was kind of kind of interesting.
Wasn't it?
Yeah.
I thought so.

was nice out there and I woke up this morning at a deep freeze.
Now, keep that in mind when I talk you about our next story coming up.
Stuart J. Wattles watching our news for us today in our news center.
And here's what Stuart has for us.
Get ready for a freeze.
A freeze watch in effect for it to late tonight.
The early tomorrow morning temperature is as low as 28 degrees possible.
The watch covers a good chunk of the state, including the southeast Wisconsin area.
Frost and freeze conditions could potentially harm Crocs and harm crops sensitive
plants and outdoor plumbing.
And my wife's plants that she put out.
She's got to hustle them in the house.
You know, when I we were getting married, we had mums for our wedding.
And I had a condo I was living in by myself at the time.
And she gave me the mums and I had to keep them outside.
And this meant she worked for the police station.
She worked for the police in a late shift and she called me up one night.
And she's where the mums.
I said, they're outside.
Get him in.
Get him in now.
It's going to be freezing tonight.
Get him in.
I said, I'm sleeping.
Get him in.
Get him in now.
My underwear from the condo and hustled in all the mums.
That's my dog was looking at me like, what are you doing?
We're sleeping.
Get him in.
Get the mums in the house.
The 61st district rep wants to do the same with the 32nd district.
State representative Amanda Nedwesky, who currently represents the 61st district in the state assembly,
has announced her candidacy for reelection.
She'll be running in the 32nd due to a redistricting, which the modified district covering about 70% of the old district.
It includes the strawberry Creek subdivision in Kenosha, Wheatland,
Genoa City, and a small part of Lake Geneva in her announcement.
Nedwesky says she'll advocate for tax cuts and holding public schools and the UW system more accountable.
In downtown Kenosha, you could soon get a loaf of bread, a gallon of milk or a stick of butter.
The City Council has approved a plan brought forward by the operators of the Kenosha public market for a downtown grocery store.
They want to use the old Alfred building at 58th Street and 7th Street for a full-time market.
For now, only a portion of the long vacant building would get rehabbed and used.
The deal could knock down the price if a million dollars of improvements are made.
There's been a realignment in high school sports.
The WIA has changed up what schools are part of their conferences with some big changes around here.
Starting in 2025, there'll be a seven team south-eastern Wisconsin conference consisting of Kenosha and Racine High Schools,
along with Franklin Oak Creek.
Oak Creek will move by the way into a conference with Magwanago, Walker Show West, and five others.
Let me just repeat that.
Starting in 2025, there'll be a 17th south-eastern conference consisting of Kenosha and Racine High Schools, along with Franklin.
Now Oak Creek moves into a conference with Magwanago, Walker Show West, and five others.
You know what, we had the head of the WIAA.

Maybe I'll bring them back.

Here's your kid's dream job.
They're probably already doing it for free.
A company called Ubiquitous does brand marketing on social media.
They're offering to pay three people $100 an hour to watch TikTok.
Before you get too excited, it's a one off, not a full time gig.
Now, if you're one of the people they pick, you make a nice chunk of change.
In a single day, they'll pay three people $1,000 each to go on a 10-hour TikTok binge.
Do you think about that?
You better hurry up because I think they just passed a building, a rid of TikTok.
In a year or something like that.
So you better hurry up if that's what you want to do.
All right.
I heard this morning that I was listening to the farm report with a fabulous farm babe, Pam Yankee,
that there was a promo for, what's that, broken pencils that we air here on Civic Media.
And in the promo, they said, schools will now have the capability of scanning students' papers
to see if they used AI to write the papers.
So you always wondered, how do you know if ChatGPT is writing your paper?
Well, now they have a scanner that can tell them that.
Isn't that interesting?
Who knew?
Covered up, we're going to talk to Beth Hyder, an executive director of the Racinesoo.
Right here at WRJ and I'm Don Rosen.
