They definitely help out your neighbors, shovel and ships because with the cold air blasting
behind the system, whatever you don't get up might turn into a big block of ice by Saturday
afternoon.
So, good tip.
Good tip.
I would just focus on shoveling and relaxing and enjoying the snowfall and having a snow
day.
Yeah, if you don't have to be out there, it's a good day not to.
I know we have some mid-date magazine guests lined up and stuff and I think we need to reach
out to that.
You can call it.
You can phone it in maybe today, you know, that's something like that.
We'll figure that out and we appreciate your Brittany so much.
Thanks so much for joining us this week, keeping us up to date, keeping our listeners safe.
We appreciate you be safe out there and we'll talk again Monday.
Thanks.
Thanks so much.
Have a great weekend.
Take care.
Take care.
She's the best.
Brittany's the best.
We really enjoy working with her and feel much more up to date on these things.
There's nothing like being able to talk to a real weather person in these type of times.
Wow.
And I mean, we must be kindred spirits.
Yeah, I think you guys are.
I thought it the second she started talking to her friends immediately.
We got a lot of fun things to get to this morning.
We're going to, especially a lot of you staying indoors and stuck inside or what have you.
Well, we're going to keep you entertained.
We're going to keep you having a good time today.
In this hour alone, we'll have the WFHR Morning Show birthday and anniversary club.
We're looking forward to that.
We'll be getting into that one in just a little bit.
I also want to touch on a couple of other things with you this hour.
Terry, I have got a football fans wife turning his game day reactions into something pretty
fun.
That's that's what I think a lot of people are going to be able to play with.
I can't wait.
Yeah, we're going to take notes on that one for a lot of people out there.
We'll get into a couple of other things too.
And after our news break, we're going to make you a star of the day with our friends
from callvers.
We've got a jam packed one for you here.
Terry and I will play a famous TV show theme song.
You call up as long as you haven't won anything in 30 days and you'll win a free family
pack of four from our friends at callvers and a shout out to the Wisconsin Rapids callvers.
Big thank you to them.
We'll go all that coming up.
Nine o'clock hour.
Want to kick things off with a little bit of entertainment news.
Let you know it's new on your small screen, new on your big screen.
Then we got to get into this is a dicey one, ten unspoken office rules you should never
break.
Yeah, I can't wait to hear those actually.
Make me interesting.
Should be a pretty interesting one, but I think that's good staff meeting material.
It does feel like it, right?
It does.
That's something that I think again, we're going to be taking notes on that one.
And we will be getting an update about our United Way and in fact, Terry, I want to
I want to hit on that right away with you if you don't mind because I wanted to thank
you personally.
I wanted to thank you and your team for hosting such a nice dinner the other day.
Our own Pam Hilke was at.
That was a really fun event.
Did you guys and did you enjoy it?
They were able to have a good time with it.
Yeah, it was fabulous.
So on Wednesday, we had our annual campaign.
Thank you celebration event and one thing that you brought up was food.
Of course, there was food and drinks and that makes it fun.
And that was sponsored by a couple of the companies that are represented on our board
of directors.
So Dom Tarr, Westrock and Econ Electric.
And so certainly a shout out to them for helping us make this happen so that people had something
to enjoy while they were there.
But really what we focused on was thinking, anyone who had anything to do with the execution
of our campaign, right?
So we have our campaign chair.
This year was Brian DeWitt from Irko Worldwide.
And he did a tremendous job and really, I mean, really made himself available with a very
busy calendar that he already has and was really, very present, you know, with campaign.
And so, you know, so thankful to him.
We had nine loaned executives this year from different companies that called on other smaller
businesses in our community.
And so, you know, we showcased each of those nine.
And then from there jumped into looking at loyal contributors.
So people who have been giving to our United Way for more than 10 years.
We actually had had someone in the room who had been giving for 42 years.
I will say to though on our list of loyal contributors, we actually have two, there's
a couple and then an individual that have been giving for more than 70 years.
Wow.
And so, you know, that's super exciting.
So, you know, talked about that, about, you know, loyalty, loyal contributors is what
we call, but you know, kind of that loyalty and that longevity and why that's important.
We showcased them.
We showcased our leadership givers, which is households that give $500 or more per year.
And then we also featured companies that had high levels of participation of employee engagement.
And we also restructured our company awards this year into what we call Community Corner
Stone Partners.
And so, this is looking at how we recognize companies, but being inclusive of all of the
ways that they support United Way.
So, corporate giving, employee giving, fundraisers, you know, so they might have a broad fry that
benefits United Way.
So, anything that has to do with money in that way.
And then we also looked at in kind, kind of donations that they might have.
And then also sponsorships.
So for, we don't do a lot of sponsorships with events, but we do have summons.
So we rolled all of that together to look at, you know, and really feature companies.
And the cool thing is you can find this on our social media.
You can also find it on our website.
You can look at giving communities and hit Community Corner Stone Partners.
And you can see those companies who are really supporting United Way at a really high level.
So, I mean, it was all just about celebrate, celebrate, celebrate, celebrate, which is fabulous
and super fun.
So we are within $10,000 of our goal right now.
And so that is fabulous.
And you know, I got to just tell you something because this just warms my heart.
And it's, and it's certainly not expected, but it's so fun when it happens.
So I announced that on Wednesday and just said, you know, hey, we're within $10,000.
I fully expect, and I still feel the same.
By the end of this month, we will be there.
You know, we've, we've got some donations that I'm still expecting.
But afterward, one of the couples that was present, they are leadership givers and their
company gives.
So they, you know, we had presented them with an award.
But afterward, they came up and handed me a $1,000 check and said, we're going to get
you a little bit closer.
You know, and they said, we want this to just be anonymous, you know, it's just, we're
just adding it to help you get there.
But I was, you know, it's just heartwarming that they can see, you know, they can hear that
and just see the value and understand the value and be willing to do that.
And I understand not everyone could do that.
And I would honestly, I would feel the same if they had given me a $100 check.
Like, it's just, it's, it's just very moving when, when people are willing to, to do that
for the good of the community.
So we had a great event on Wednesday.
And as always, Bullseye did a fabulous job, you know, they, they, they're very attentive
and willing to serve and, and, you know, make things happen.
And our United Way staff that did all the legwork to get us to that point for Wednesday
night.
So it just was great.
And it's always fun.
Yeah.
It's a fun event.
And we, we know how much you and the team and even our staff look forward to it every
year.
It's a wonderful thing to be able to thank people and I, I, I, I, I can feel what you're
saying so much, especially that latter part there about that, that couple and about people
seeing what you do, you, your team put so very much into this.
And there's no guarantee that when you're doing these things, you're going to get people
like that.
You're going to get a response like that out of people.
You never know if you're hanging out there on your own on these issues or, or ideas
or anything.
And the fact that this community supports every one of these initiatives and supports
the United Way so darn much, it is a credit to the United Way and at the organization that
has been around for a very long time.
But I, I, I'd be remiss if I didn't say and throw this back at you and your team.
It has a lot to do with you and your team that this community is responds that way to
these things.
So big thank you to you guys and all the work that you put into this community and how
much you care, because that shows.
When I see something like that, it makes me want to, I love working with you, but that's
the reason we spend the time on these segments.
Sure.
You and I could be talking about anything right now.
We spend time on the United Way on this station for a reason.
We back the United Way like they do us, like they do this community.
Find out more at uswac.org, got a lot of other great things coming up with our United
Way.
The Terry now be talking about as we get closer to them.
Be sure to follow them on social media as well.
And we got to get to this real quickly, Terry.
We don't have our National Day of Calendar over here, but I wanted to let people know that
tomorrow is public radio broadcasting day.
Awesome.
This is our day.
One of our days.
We got a couple of radio days.
There's some good ones out there.
The power of radio, the beauty of radio is still alive and well and I ain't going nowhere.
We appreciate everybody out there that helps us keep doing this.
This day is awesome and I encourage people to enjoy, you know, not just radio, but check
out other radio stations and float around and that's the opposite of what I'm supposed
to say in this job.
Now, radio is radio and I love radio and I support radio.
If you support radio, enjoy it, enjoy that day.
I encourage you to support Wisconsin Public Radio and certainly civic media and all of our
wonderful, wonderful, wonderful company or radio stations that we have here.
Stick around for McNamara on the air, won't Terry and I are done.
But isn't it cool, just just radio in general, I mean, we talked about this a little bit
on the other station, but you know, the longevity of radio, but then also you can be anywhere.
Yeah.
I mean, you might not be able to find the station particularly that you want, but you could
literally be anywhere right now and you could be listening to the radio, something coming
over the radio waves and that's just, it's just remarkable.
It used to be very surprising now.
It's almost common.
We almost expect it to get messages from people not only outside of Wisconsin, but outside
of America, like the way we get heard and how we're here and the ability, the power that
radio has is still so very meaningful as well.
But the thing that I always will come back to with this medium that I love so much about
it is it is the great equalizer as far as mediums go.
Not everybody can afford a TV, not everybody can afford cable streaming, not everybody
can afford a newspaper subscription these days or something like that.
We're free, baby.
Most everybody's got a radio laying around or in your car.
You could download the safe media after you can build one.
You can build one.
It's very cool.
There's nothing else like that.
Not only that, but the ability that we have here to be able to reach people is so vital
when you combine it with that part, rich, poor, doesn't matter.
Everybody's listening to the same stuff, same radio type of radio and the wavelengths and
all the, there's so much cool science behind this too and you can have it with you everywhere
you go.
I mean, that is a little bit unique.
Yes, you can watch TV on your phone, but you're not carrying around a 32 inch TV everywhere
you go.
That's the radio with you always everywhere.
I did use to carry a boom box.
I love shocker.
No way.
No, shocker.
That was my gig though.
That was my main thing.
Here's the important question.
Do you still have it?
No.
God, I wish I did.
I wish I did.
Come on.
It was a double deck.
It was a two deck boom box.
I hear you, man.
What I really miss when I was in high school, I had a double deck, a table, or, you know,
set, yeah, but it had one of the five disc changers.
Uh-huh.
I have one of those still.
I think.
I mean, yeah, I do.
Okay.
Yeah.
But it was not really a boom box that you carry around.
It's more like when, when I think it was Iowa, first came out with, you know, like you
had the little, it wasn't the ginormous theory.
No, no, no, no.
It was, it had a five disc changer, two cassettes.
And then I had the speakers.
You could attach them or separate them.
Yes.
And then there were two more speakers.
So you could actually have surround sound.
Oh, yeah.
I remember the other two.
Yeah.
And you could take those separate speakers.
I mean, we were all that, right?
Oh, that was awesome.
That was a good day.
It's a good day.
I think I still have it.
I know I still have it.
I got to see that.
You have to take a picture of it.
We will take a quick time out.
We'll come back and we'll do some celebrate with our birthday and anniversary club coming
up right here on Morning Show at WFHR.
It's time to do some celebrate.
I feel like really doing an uppity voice, but it's time to do some celebrate.
Celebrate.
It's time.
And we're going to have some fun with this one, everybody.
For right now, this is still the Morning Show birthday and anniversary club, but coming
up very soon, we've got a wonderful new sponsor with this coming up.
So we're very excited about that.
You're holding out on me.
I'll tell you during the break.
I'm going to say on the break, I'm going to sit on you until you spread it out.
I can't keep anything from you.
I'll tell you the break.
But we're very excited about it.
Be on the lookout for that, everybody.
And a big thank you to everybody that sends us these birthdays and anniversaries.
Keep coming.
Get in these.
Get them to us by sending them to info at WFHR.com, james.mailoff at civicmedia.us.
You can direct messages on our Facebook pages as well, the WFHR and WIRI Facebook pages
are right there for you.
Like and subscribe to those.
And of course, call up 424-2600.
If you got the civic media app, you're just the touch or two away from calling up and joining
the conversation.
Love hearing from you.
Today you could come right in the snow.
Yeah, there you go.
But tell us because it'll fill in really fast.
Yeah, probably it would fill up really.
And especially if it's a long name, it might take you a while and by the time you get to
the last letters.
Let's see.
Terry, I need, well, this one that we've already got covered, but I do need a one or two
from you.
Two.
All right.
That gives us that qualifier.
And a one through three.
Woo.
One.
All right.
It gives us that qualifier.
We can get right into this celebration.
And first up, we want to wish a very happy birthday to my oldest cousin, Deb King.
Happy birthday.
She is like a more of a older sister than a cousin.
And when it's a girl, you shouldn't say oldest.
I shouldn't.
No, you're right.
Yeah, yeah.
I totally can.
She doesn't care.
Love my cousin, Deb.
She is, she is just like her mom, my aunt, Nate, just a definition of a spitfire.
You do not mess with her.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, just one of those people always look out for it.
You know, to that point though, it probably has something to do with the oldest.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yes.
Oh, no.
A little bit about that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, a very happy birthday to our qualifier today, Jim Van Dooser.
Happy birthday, Jim.
Enjoy your day, sir.
It's a mighty fine name you got.
You enjoy your day.
Hope it's a good one.
On Saturday, we wish a very happy birthday to Amanda Wilkes.
Happy birthday, Amanda.
I hope it's a great day for you.
And we also wish a happy birthday to our qualifier Renee DeWitt.
Happy birthday, Renee.
Wishing you the best of days.
Renee, congratulations on being a qualifier.
And then we move into Sunday where we have got JJ Halfermann celebrating a birthday.
Happy birthday, JJ.
Enjoy your day, sir.
Hope it's a great one for you.
Another good name, JJ.
14 on the 14.
Nice.
Nice.
That's very cool.
Well, from one JJ to another, happy birthday to you, JJ.
Also happy birthday to Jessica Fine.
Happy birthday, Jessica.
Hope it's a good one for you.
And we wish a very happy birthday to our qualifier Dale Dal.
Happy birthday, Dale.
Wishing you the best of days, sir.
And congratulations on being a qualifier.
Isn't that interesting?
It's all birthdays.
No anniversaries.
None.
None.
That is weird.
We don't have that very often in the weekend.
It's different early January.
Maybe it's because it's early January.
I don't know how, like, I completely out of my depth when it comes to when people get married.
I feel like I hear like three times a year.
Oh, it's wedding season.
Like, wait a minute.
Like, I thought seasons were once a year.
Well, I mean, I mean, you know, now.
Yeah.
It doesn't seem like that.
I don't know.
Great list.
Thank you for getting it to us, everybody.
Big thank you to Pam collecting so many of these names for us as well.
We look at our celebrity list and Zayn Malik is 31.
Boy band?
Like, isn't he in boy bands or something?
Oh, one of the boy bands is something like that.
Oh, yeah.
I think he is.
I think he is.
I'm like, I feel like I've heard that name.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I know.
My blank look that I usually have during this.
Right.
Out of our, out of our wheelhouse.
I mean, yeah.
I don't know.
Let's see here.
Nick Juan is 54.
One of the members of Wu Tang, an amazing, amazing hip hopper.
Zach De La Rocha is 54, lead singer, songwriter for Rage Against the Machine and a couple of
other solo projects of his.
I think one of the more, one of my favorites, singer, songwriters of all time, honestly.
I love the work that Zach does.
Him in that band, a really, really impactful band.
Keith Anderson is 56, country singer.
They're not much about Keith.
I'm sorry.
They're not much about that.
He is 59.
Of course, former, former creator of White Zombie and turned, kind of went away from music
and gone into directing and a lot of that, in fact, directing even his wife.
His wife, Sherry Moon Zombie, is in a lot of his movies.
And she's a good actor actor.
I think she's a good actor.
She does a nice job.
Oh, man, it's, this is so hard for me to say.
Wait, I'd be like, if I'm going to marry you, I'm not taking Zombie.
Yeah, I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it.
Sorry, I was still hung up on that.
Here's Rob Zabi and his wonderful wife, Smith, because, yeah, I don't know.
Dominique Wilkins is 64 today, and I bet Nick could probably still dunk.
I bet he could.
The human highlight reel, when we were kids, I generally, and I know I'm going to get
in trouble with my Chicago people about this, is great as Michael could hang in the air
longer than anybody.
Michael could do the single move better than anybody, but nobody could dunk like Dominique.
Not Sean Kemp, nobody, nobody dunked with the, not only the artistry, but the force.
And the fact that like, the thing that I remember about Dominique so much is these dunks
weren't not only in the game, but often like him coming into the lane.
Him and Yannis are very different size wise, but when I watch Yannis sent to the cupo,
he takes two steps and he stood the basket.
Like he's a deer just running to the basket.
Oh, I love it.
I cannot get enough of it.
I can watch it all day.
Dominique was a little similar to that.
Just not, didn't have the long stride that Yannis does.
The force with also the beauty, the artistry of it, it's why I love basketball so much.
It's the only sport you really get to see that on display, almost every play.
Almost every play, there's somebody doing something that's artistic and also an incredible
forceful move or something like that.
Dominique was the, one of the best ever at it.
Oliver Platt is 64, Chief Psychiatry in NBC, Chicago, Med.
I guarantee you that if you look at a picture of Oliver Platt, you know him.
You've seen him in movies and probably enjoyed his performance as a great character.
Well, I don't know him by his name.
Yeah.
Howard Stern is 70 today.
That's it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And still doing his thing.
Still working.
I find this, so a little bit more on this in a little bit.
So whether you like Howard Stern or not, I ask that you
put that to the side for a second.
Everything I was saying earlier about radio, he's an important part of it.
Howard pushed the envelope and did things that nobody else was doing.
Whether we agree with it or not, that's here or there.
It worked and it kept radio in New York alive and well at a time when there wasn't as
much of that.
And he is an integral part of that.
Well, and don't you think, I mean, he's, he's one of the ones that kicked the door open,
right?
Yeah.
You said of the front line of kind of a trailblazer, you know, making, but it was like,
okay, yeah, you might not agree with it.
You might not love him.
You might, you may not love him, whatever, but I mean, he, he really was and is somebody
who, who helped create change in the industry.
I've studied this and, and you can, and you can go ahead and look into it yourselves and
everything.
But up until Howard gets big and not, not when he starts, I mean, when he starts becoming
a bit more of a national, his show gets syndicated, those things.
Everybody in radio was handling everything this way and every morning show was, I tell
a joke, everybody laughs, we play a sound effect next, next joke, and that kind of thing.
It wasn't a conversation.
We weren't interacting with audiences anymore.
We got away from what radio really was.
Again, whether you like him or not, Howard talked to you real.
He talked like I'm talking right now and that is, that was the future of radio.
That is where we are now.
I don't think without that, we have during the pandemic, the trust that people have in
radio, the, the belief that I can trust is, especially in this day and age, it all ties
together and you got to take the go with the bad sometimes and, and I only say bad if
you're not a fan of his or anything.
I don't like a good 50% of this stuff he's done in his career.
If not more than that, but I support him, I believe in him and I, I am very thankful
for him as somebody that loves radio and wants to keep radio alive and well.
So Ricky Vance, Shelton celebrating his 72nd birthday today, William Lee Golden, 85 for
the Oak Ridge boy who just retired, Terry, that's a good note by you, good for catching
that.
And then some people no longer with us, like Kristi Alley born in this day in 1951, passed
away in 2022, would have been 73 today.
And every year we do this and it never gets, it never is normalized to me.
So Howard Stern is 70 today, Rush Limbaugh would have been celebrating a birthday today
too.
And the fact that Rush Limbaugh and Howard Stern, they just awesome to be, this is hilarious.
That's kind of a, karma, like a cosmic kind of, right?
That's life.
That's awesome.
Also Joe Frazier, one of the greatest boxers of all time, born in this day in 1944 and
Jack London, born in 1876, wonderful, amazing author, The Call of the Wild, a lot of good
work for Mr. London over the years.
That's going to do it for our birthdays and anniversaries.
We take a quick look at the 13th, let's go and see what Saturday birthdays we got.
Liam Hemsworth is 34, younger brother of Luke and Chris.
Shonda Rhymes is 54, Grayson Anatomy creator, she's also the power behind scandal and how
to get away with murder.
And she shares a birthday with Patrick Dempsey.
That's interesting.
Of course, Grayson Anatomy failed.
Maybe that was part of the screening, right?
When she was looking for a lead, it was like, oh, only if you have this birthday.
I think that'd be great.
I love it.
That's how we got the world.
If it worked out.
But could you imagine if you did that and that it's like, okay, and what if you're birthday
tomorrow?
We're just going to go ahead and try something else.
Maybe this wasn't the greatest format to do this.
Julia Louis Drive is 63 tomorrow, happy birthday to Elaine from Seinfeld, Selena Meyer from
Veepe and so many other great roles.
I love, love, love, Julia Louis Drive is huge fan of hers.
And then just a quick look at Sunday, see if there's any big ones on there.
Dave Grohl is 55 on Sunday, Nirvana, Foo Fighter, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer.
One of my favorite actors of all time, Jason Bateman is 55 on Sunday, Marty from Ozark.
May know him from The Horrible Bosses movies, Michael Bluth on Arrested Development, God,
big fan of Jason Bateman.
L.O. Cool J is 56 on Sunday, do you know what L.O. Cool J stands for, Terry?
I feel like I tell you this every year because I do totally, I mean, I know, but I guess
I know it.
Ladies love cool.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ladies love cool.
Of course, you would know that.
I would remember that one.
You probably have it on the back of a show.
Sure.
It's actually tattooed obby.
It's a no.
Tebow, Tebow Burnett is 76 today.
No woman would ever kiss me again if I had that tattooed obby.
No one.
No, you might get, you might get kisses, but as soon as the shirt comes off, you might
be a trouble.
Where you going?
What?
Ah, you can't please anybody these days.
It's a nice piece.
It's, but it's actually just like ladies love and then there's an arrow like to your face.
Yeah, because I don't have a very, I like that.
I have like no packs.
So like I try to get it on my pack and it's just not enough room.
Tebow Burnett is 76 on Sunday, counting crows, producer, and of course, one of the masterminds
behind O'Brother were out though, which of course, it was released on this day.
The movie was released on this day.
He won an Oscar for Best Original Score and co-writing the theme song to Crazy Heart,
which was also a Cohen Brothers movie and how we got the dude Jeff Bridges with an
Oscar.
And on Sunday, Fade on Away will be 83.
Johnny and Clyde, Chinatown, Red, just a, well, one of the, she's a good also voice actor
too.
Fade on Away.
Good actor.
Good.
I just sitting there thinking about her career just for a second.
I don't think I've really thought much about her career before.
Quite a career.
Quite an impressive.
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
Impressive.
And that is going to do it for our birthday and anniversary club.
But thank you again so much to everybody that got these to us.
We appreciate you.
Keep in coming, everybody.
Looking forward to doing some more celebrating next week with you.
I think we need to go to break because I need to know this super secret news.
Yeah.
We're going to do that.
We're going to come back.
And we're going to make you a star of the day with our friends from Calvars.
That's coming up.
Terry and James taking it through your morning on WFHR.
Welcome back to the show, everybody.
I don't have my normal music to do for this, but lights, camera, action.
It is time to make somebody a star of the day with our friends at the Wisconsin Rapids
Calvars.
What Terry and I are about to do is playing famous TV show theme song.
To call up 424-2600, get the answer right and boom.
Just like that, you're going to win yourself a family pack of four from our Wisconsin Rapids
Calvars.
That is two kids meals, two adults meals.
That is free Calvars.
That is fabulous.
You can't beat that.
Get ready to call 424-2600-715-424-2600 and tell us what TV show this is from.
This might be a tough one.
I wouldn't have got it.
If I weren't, oh, maybe not.
No, I think not.
Now it should start coming home to some people.
Of course I'm watching it, so let's go ahead and see if we have ourselves a winner.
Good morning.
What's your answer?
I'm going to guess, Martyr Sheerol.
You're guessing.
Nice job.
Absolutely done.
Nicely done, sir.
Where are you, a fan of the show?
Well, I've seen it a few times.
Yeah.
That's great.
It's a great guess.
Nicely done.
We appreciate that.
What's your first name?
Ron.
Ron?
That's all right.
Ron, thank you so much for listening and playing along.
Ron, you and Rapids here?
Grand Rapids.
Grand Rapids.
I was close.
We love our friends and grand Rapids.
How's the snow looking over there?
Yeah, yeah.
It looks like there's plenty of it there.
I mean, we have the luxury.
We've got big windows here in this studio.
And it's like we're in a snow globe.
It's so pretty.
Well, you can even see it through a small window.
Ron, thank you so much for listening, playing along.
We appreciate you, sir.
Hang on a line.
I'm going to get a little information from you.
Thanks so much for being our newest star of the day.
Thanks for Colvers, too.
Yeah.
Enjoy your Colvers.
Yeah.
Thank you to Colvers.
Yep.
Murdershoe wrote.
I wanted to just find the stats on this one, because it came out September 1984.
It went till May of 96.
I kind of thought it was a little longer than that.
That's pretty long, though.
It is.
I mean, and you know, when you, when you were playing that and we get to watch the starting,
you know, so we're a little bit, we get to cheat a little bit.
But I was looking at Angela Lansbury and how, um, how young she looks on there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I like her.
Oh, huge fan of Mr. Lansbury.
My goodness.
One of the greatest performers I've ever seen.
Like, uh, that was what one of the things as a kid with this show.
I like murder mysteries.
My not a love, love, love murder mysteries.
I grew up on Alfred Hitchcock and, um, all of that stuff.
And, and one of the things that I loved about that show was to me.
I thought we are seeing like one of the greats every week.
We got to see her in an episode, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That woman doesn't, has never done a bad performance in her career.
Go back and look at the old, some of the, especially young Angela Lansbury.
Wow.
What?
Not only beautiful for all, for all day, but incredibly talented.
I almost feel like younger, our audiences like us Terry,
that don't necessarily didn't grow up on her, grew up on some of her older movies.
Like, we don't even, we can't even wrap.
Even though you and I both respect her and think she's amazing.
We still don't know how great.
Don't have a good appreciation for all of it.
Yeah.
Um, she did, uh, what was the mentoring candidate, uh, with uh, Sinatra back in the day, I believe.
And, and she's the best part of that movie.
Like, I mean, I just love her voice and beauty in the beast.
She's great beauty in the beast.
She's awesome.
She's great.
She's great all around.
Uh, again, big, thank you to Aron, our newest star.
The day be listening next Friday.
We'll make some, we're gonna make somebody else a new star of the day.
Have some fun with that.
And a big, big, big thank you to our friends at the Wisconsin Rapids callvers.
Uh, they are so awesome.
We appreciate them so darn much.
Thank you to Wisconsin Rapids callvers and get some callvers in your life, everybody.
Uh, it seems like a good, uh, good weekend for that.
We're gonna go ahead and take a quick break.
We'll come back with nothing but fun on the morning show at WFHR.
Welcome back, everyone.
Morning show here at WFHR.
Terry and James hanging out with you.
Thanks so much to the best listeners and radio for joining us.
Hope your Friday is treating you good, everybody.
Terry, I want to do, uh, start this segment off, uh, reminding everybody
that our friends over at the Aging Disability Resource Center of Central Wisconsin
will have their meals, uh, senior dining and meals on wheels closed for today.
Uh, we appreciate everybody out there keeping a lookout for their fellow neighbors.
If you happen to know people that, uh, you know, use these meals to take advantage of this, um,
check in on them.
It's a great day for a checkup.
If you can bring something to eat, that's great, but...
But yeah, be checking in on your neighbors, though.
Yeah.
We appreciate everybody doing that.
And a big thank you to Aaron Wells with the ADRC, always keeping us up to date on things over there.
Let's go local with this next one.
Candy Brand Hasbro broke a Guinness World Record when it used a Gold Bear gummy candy to create a
350, 353.1 square foot, uh, Moesick, uh, Moesick of the company's mascot.
Oh, that's cool.
The company used approximately, uh, 150,000 gummy bears to create the image of its mascot Gold Bear
in the gymnasium at the University of Wisconsin Parkside.
Cool.
And this is, and stay, Stephen.
Uh, so that's pretty cool.
The Moesick, uh, uh, was created over the course of four hours by about 300 Hasbro employees,
accompanied by friends, family, members, and members of the Boys and Girls Club of Kenosha
and local restaurants.
You know, and they used, and they used gummy bears.
Yeah, yeah.
So, like, that's a lot of sticky hands.
Yeah.
This would be difficult for me.
And do you think they had enough extras that you could pop them in your, you know what I mean?
Like put three in the Moesick, pop one in your mouth, like that kind of thing.
I am positive that the reason I didn't get invited to this is because they only had so many gummy bears
because I'd have been one for me, one for the record, one for me.
And then we find out we're a little short of the record.
And I'm sitting there with a full mouth of gummy bears.
Could you even imagine, you got like chipmunk cheeks because your whole body is already full,
but you're still shoving them in your mouth.
I would, I would so do.
I love gummy bears.
Love gummy.
You like gummy worms too, but gummy bears are, they're purple.
I like them.
I don't love them.
Red ones.
I love that they included the boys and girls club of connoisseurs and shout out to our own
boys and girls club.
They do such great work.
This was in state.
This is pretty cool.
I'm a little surprised.
I didn't see anything in the news about this though.
I watch a lot of Wisconsin news and I didn't see anything in the Wisconsin news like on TV about it.
I was a little surprised.
Thank you.
You heard it here first.
Yeah.
The finished Moesick.
Moesick.
Moesick.
Yeah.
Moesick was examined by a Guinness world record, a judicator, and confirmed as the world's largest jelly gummy candy.
That is weird.
That's pretty cool.
Pretty awesome too.
You can find out more at the official Hasbro website.
I go ahead and check that out.
Okay.
So to that point, when you mentioned the person from Guinness, right?
Like someone has to come and validate this or, or maybe they don't have to come, but they have to somehow validate it.
Can you imagine how much stuff they have to be like in the know-on?
I can't.
But you have to be nice.
Because it's so adverse, right?
Like you think about the game.
Oh, yes.
Oh, yes.
Oh, yes.
This is the largest jelly structure.
Yeah.
Right?
Just having this knowledge.
Because why would you know that?
That is super cute.
Yeah.
I'm showing a picture of it that Terry is.
Awesome.
Most of us have seen the logo before, but you've never seen it like this.
I was expecting it standing up.
They laid it on the ground.
That makes a lot more sense.
Yeah.
That's a lot smarter.
But it doesn't even look like it's individual gummy bears.
I mean, like that's really cool.
Yeah, yeah.
Awesome.
It reminds me of when you see in the sports game, you know, sporting events or something.
Everybody puts up a sign.
Oh, yeah.
It all matches.
And it's so neat where it says something.
Yeah.
Or, yeah, I love that.
It's always cool when that happens.
We will take a quick time out.
When we come back, a football fan's wife turned his game day reactions into Bingo.
We're going to tell you how she did that when we come back on the morning show at WFHR.
Welcome back to the morning show, everybody.
The WFHR, locally grown radio, Terry and James here with you.
Brittany is awesome.
Brittany's also walking on a racer with that line right there.
She's close.
I love it, actually.
I love, love, love the energy that she brings to the weather.
It's so fun.
And it should, I think that weather, that's the way weather should be.
Going forward here, that's the way everybody should be doing it.
Well, you can't do it like Brittany, but try your best.
And sometimes there's just some tongue twisters in our world.
There are, there are.
Listen closely the next time.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It's a good one.
She does a really good job of that.
I want to go, I got to ask her off here, like how many edits that if you took a bunch of.
Or maybe, too though.
I mean, she takes her job very seriously.
So maybe she didn't even, maybe she just didn't even hear it.
May not have.
She's got a great energy.
It's fabulous.
We've really enjoyed Brittany joining our radio station.
It's been a lot of fun.
Love it.
Is your spouse a football mega fan, but you're not?
Here's a fun way to get through the NFL playoffs while also mocking them.
A woman in Frisco, Texas named Mackenzie Waters.
Great name.
Made a list of her husband's go-to reactions when he watches the Cowboys,
like making the first down gesture or yelling, let's go.
And she's turned them into a bingo card.
She shared, she made it a drinking game.
So she takes a drink each time she crosses one off.
A video of it blew up on TikTok this week after ESPN shared it.
And here are a few of the squares she came up with.
I am going to see if I can find.
I believe there is a picture of this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it's just the simple one.
She just made it herself.
It almost looks like it's on like a napkin almost.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So that's cool.
I like having the picture to go along with it.
So how did this go?
He makes a touchdown gesture.
He pretends to throw a flag.
He yells, get him.
He yells, oh, he, or quite clap.
Yeah, that's nice.
That's nice play.
Nice play.
Oh, he yells, why?
Head down, eyes closed.
They usually say that like a running back running through the lane
or something.
He yells, what are you doing?
He gets up and walks down the hall, crosses his arms,
or aggressively pets the dog.
That's a good, no, I never thought about that one,
but that's what I do.
I do that.
No.
Not aggressively, but like if my team is behind
and they're marching down the field and they're like in the red zone
and I'm panicking a little bit, Sam is right there
and petting him for some reason that calms me.
Makes me a little calmer.
So when, you know, people in general,
but specifically this woman's husband,
when you are yelling, like, who are you yelling at?
I don't know.
I don't know, but I will do it this weekend even.
Yes.
I don't know who I want to hear me even, but I will be doing it.
Also a football fan, I mean, I am.
I wouldn't say, I mean, I think she's taking this approach
like she's trying to get him to shut up or she's making fun.
Right?
Right.
But it's different if there's other people in the room
who are appreciating what's happening on the TV,
but when you are seriously by yourself
and you're yelling at the TV,
now if I was her, I'd probably say,
I'd put it out as a challenge back to him.
Like, dude, if I get any bingos, you have to do this.
Yes.
You know what I mean?
Yes, that's what I wanted to do.
You take me out to dinner.
I mean, maybe she ups the ante.
I'd go for like jewelry or something.
Oh, yeah.
Especially it's a cowboy's fan.
Come on.
It deserves it.
No, after kidding.
No, it does.
There's no kidding.
That's true.
I think that when it comes to something like this,
I like what you came up with there.
That's what I thought.
Because this is the end of the article.
Oh, if you get a bingo, you have to chug the rest of your drink.
Oh, yeah.
So that's here or there.
You're probably going to do that anyway.
I say she should win something for her.
Eyes?
Yeah.
You bring up such a wonderful point about the sports fan.
Because most of us, if we're at a bar watching the game,
we're sitting at home with friends watching the game.
Yeah, we're going to interact.
We're going to yell at the screen.
We're going to communicate about the game.
Oh, when you're there alive, you're, you know, I mean, like, yes.
Sure.
I don't know what it is about the sports fan.
And I am one of the big, the biggest culprits of this.
I am not pointing fingers.
I am pointing them right back at me.
I have been this way my whole life.
I will talk to the screen.
I will yell at the referees like they can hear me.
And I know better.
Even when I'm doing it, I know better.
But I can't help myself.
I do.
I mean, it just is.
It's funny.
It just seems to be part of the human nature, right?
I got to think that it's got to be even funnier.
In certain circumstances, without it going too heavy, of course,
to be the person, the flag of the wall, seeing this happening.
And seeing, you know, this person that you, you love it respect
and just completely fall apart.
Because their team had one bad player.
I mean, so thank goodness for multiple TVs, right?
Yeah.
If you really are a sports fan, you can just get away from it.
And not witness it at all.
We got a couple of minutes left in the hour here.
715-424-2600-424-2600.
Didn't get a chance to really do this on playmakers.
I would love to know, as Packer fans out there,
I got to think that this is, you know, but this is just added icing
on the cake, you're getting into the playoffs.
I don't know many Packer fans that expected that this year.
So what are your expectations going forward?
Do you want to see, obviously, you want to be Dallas?
It's Dallas.
There's a great rivalry right there.
But do you think you got a team that can win it all?
Do you think you got a team that can keep going and doing this?
I'd love to hear from people out there.
424-2600.
I'd like to hear about that.
And I'd like to also hear, are you just really happy to have this playoff game?
I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
So while we're waiting for some calls, I have to tell you,
the other day watching that game, I was like, oh my gosh, James,
I mean, it was like actually close.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I knew better.
I was getting a little like, I was like, oh no.
I will be completely honest as I always am with the audience.
I didn't think for one second Chicago was going to win that game.
Well, right, but it was close.
I mean, not that I thought I didn't think it was going to be like a huge blowout,
but I just didn't think, you know, at one point, was it within three?
As a Chicago fan, I knew, yeah, I knew that it would get close enough
and be competitive enough for that man to keep his job.
Because that's the last thing that we want as Chicago fans.
So of course, that's what's going to happen.
Of course.
But I was laughing because I'm like, oh, I suppose I better snap James.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
It was probably a little closer than most thought at first.
And then it just got a course away the way that most of us were.
Well, when I was watching it was close.
And so I was hoping I wouldn't have to hear about it.
Yeah.
I will say this.
I don't have a lot of expectations with that team ever anymore.
They've made me numb to being a fan of them.
And that's about the ownership, not about the players.
Not even really about the coaching staff.
I got none against Maddie, refluse, or anything.
But with that ownership, I have no love for them.
I love Virginia Mckasky.
I have a lot of love with respect for that woman.
And I'm very appreciative of her and her family.
And George Poppa bear hell is her dad.
The Mckaskys themselves.
Boy, if I was ever around them.
Ooh, if I was ever around them.
I lost track of how many fights I was in before I was 13.
I've never thrown a punch in my life.
I've never started a fight once in my life.
George Mckasky walks in this room.
Ooh.
Ooh, it'd be tough.
It'd be tough not to.
I'm very curious to know how people feel.
And if you're excited about this game,
we're excited about the 9 o'clock hour.
Got some great things lined up in there.
We're going to kick things off in a little bit of entertainment talk.
Talk a little people's choice awards.
And let you know what's new on your small screen,
new on your big screen, get into that.
We will also be touching on the 10 unspoken office rules
you should never break.
I'm looking forward to that.
That should be an interesting one.
I think I didn't get a chance.
I didn't pre-look at that purpose.
I want to be in real time with you kind of experience
and see what's fun about that.
We will also have some local good stories
that the day will get an update on our United Way
and talk a little bit about our schedule for today and this weekend.
Got some great sports on the radio this weekend.
Wanted to let you know that tonight right here at WFHR at 630,
Wisconsin men's hockey hosting Lyndon Wood,
the great rivalry of Badgers and Lyndon Wood.
No, I don't know.
It's Badger Hockey.
That's all that matters.
Badger Hockey right here on the radio.
I was only halfway listening to you because is our friend Bob look still?
I believe so.
Commentating those games.
I believe so.
Yeah, I think so too.
Shout out to Bob and Safe Travels if that game is still going.
I am not 100% sure if the River Kings are still going to be playing tonight with the weather.
But if they are, we will have them on WIRI.
Our pregame will start at 659 as they host the Chicago Crush.
This is go time for our River Kings.
