Good morning, Wisconsin. Good morning, world. It's a new day. Thanks for kicking it off with us right here at WFHR, locally grown radio, 904 in the clock at your host, James J, I am joined by our head of, uh, I was gonna say our head of volunteering.
I was gonna say our head of volunteer. I mean, whatever you got, it's better than something you could say.
Uh, at least it is a little bit. Terry Johnson's with us. Terry, good to have you with us. Good morning.
Appreciate the company. Thanks so much for hanging out with us. Terry, we're gonna have some fun this hour. We got good things coming up. I'm gonna dive into some entertainment in a little bit.
I also want to get into the latest terms that make you sound old. The latest term that makes us sound old. We're gonna get into that and see if we can make ourselves sound younger. Yeah.
Um, you could get up to $10,000 just by giving up your smartphone for a month. We're gonna tell you about that. That's coming up along with an update on the United Way and plenty more.
We're gonna get into this hour, looking forward to it. Let's dive right into some entertainment news here, Terry. And this kind of hits home close to a kid's a little close to home for you and I.
Andrew McCarthy, you know, from pretty in pink, scene, almost fire. Uh, he has made a documentary called Bratz about the cultural phenomenon around the Brat Pack of the 1980s. Really?
I cannot wait to see this. Yeah, I would like to see that too. He says, quote, the Brat Pack has a has cast a long shadow over my life and career. All of these years, I was curious to see how it affected my fellow Brat Pack members.
What I found was surprising and liberating. Andrew interviewed other members like Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, Ali Shidi, Emilio Estevez, John Crier. He also sat out with New York magazine writer who coined the term Brat Pack in 1985 cover story.
Sounds like you did a really diligent job. A release date hasn't been announced yet, but it's expected to premiere on Hulu later this year.
I'm totally watching. I am gonna watch this immediately, like immediately. I'm gonna watch that. That's cool.
As a young person in the 80s growing up and wanting to be an actor, those actors right there that I just mentioned, all of them I learned from, all of them I watched, enjoyed all of their careers.
Was Molly Ringwald on the list?
I just thank you so much and I apologize, Terry. I think you've been around me too long because we have been doing this all day.
I'm thinking so scary for me, folks. I cannot imagine how scary it is for you. I feel for you so much. If it was the reverse, it'd be a good thing.
I mean, I could probably use to be a little more like you. Where's Molly Ringwald? Where's Molly Ringwald? You can't have this without Molly Ringwald.
That's very interesting.
That really shocks me a little bit. I can't imagine why she's not on this list. She was a part of that group.
She was totally part of that group. She was bigger than Demi Moore back then.
Oh, yeah. Big time.
Hopefully, she's not there because she refused.
I hope it's not that. I mean, I don't know how he could overlook her. Maybe they'll say something about it. Maybe we have to wait and see.
I understand that Demi Moore has become probably the biggest star out of this group eventually she did.
The Demi Lee West have had probably one of the better careers out of this group. But you can't have this without Molly Ringwald.
She was the queen of this group back in the day.
So in sociology class in high school, like right now, my daughter is in it.
And they just watched the breakfast club.
Oh, awesome.
As part of sociology, right?
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
And I love that movie. Right?
I'm like, what would you think? She's like, because they watch half one day, half the next. Right? So this is halfway through.
She's like, well, they're just sitting there.
I mean, that was like a, that was a big movie.
It's still an iconic movie to me.
But I just started laughing. She's like, yeah.
And then just was talking about, because I was like, well, tell me how they're pulling this into your sociology class.
You know, that kind of thing.
But you know, it was, it was a lot of like, which of the characters do you associate with?
Or do you know, like, like those kinds of things?
But it was so funny because she's like, yeah, they're just sitting there.
I'm like, yeah, that's the movie. That's the point.
There's so many great parts of that movie and aspects of it.
But that movie was one of the first to really try to do that, to try to go, okay, we're going to have the jock.
We're going to have the crappy.
We're going to have that, you know, this.
And not just in the traditional 80s sense of, here's these characters, watch them have great lives.
No, you're going to actually see a little bit of what makes them that.
And I think, yeah, for me, that's the first movie that, you know, that I think of where it brings the curtain back a little bit.
And it's, and it is helping you understand why these kids are the way they are.
Now, you don't think about that when you're a teenager watching it.
But when you're thinking about, you know, the, the, and I can't remember that I don't know the actor's name,
but, you know, where his dad was, was the drunk and he was, you know, in the smoking.
And I don't know, it just, it was very, it's very, yeah, very interesting to me how that all,
how much they were sneaking in, you know, that psychology, sociology stuff.
I, that movie was, I love that movie.
It's one of my all time favorite movies.
And I would say that it was influential.
There was a lot I liked about it.
I always, I really, really had a crush on Ali Shidi.
I really liked Ali Shidi.
And it would be, it would be a side of things to come as I would date a lot of Ali Shidi's in my life.
There you go.
But to me, it was Emilio Estevez's character that was so eye-opening to me because I grew up in a sports family.
And I know a lot of what my, I grew up in a very different sports family.
My papa, my nana, the way they supported my dad in sports was, was really like, this is an added bonus to whatever else he does.
Where it's his character was everything.
First of the pressure.
Yeah, instant pressure.
I don't, I think it was actually eye-opening for me when I moved out here.
And I would be a lot of my friends were athletes, especially in wrestling and that and the pressures and the different things that would be on them.
And I understood that a little bit better because of that movie I swear.
Like it, it was interesting how there was so much fun and just silliness and weirdness about that movie.
But there was also some parts of it that were like.
But it wasn't, maybe as far-fetched as, you know what I mean?
Like, I don't know.
I thought it was funny, but when she brought that up and I still, and because of Molly Ringwald, one of my favorite parts of that movie still is when she takes out her diamond earring.
And puts it in his hand.
Yes.
You know what I mean?
Like that's just, oh, that's so good.
It's so good.
And I cannot hear, don't you forget about me and not put my fist in the air.
I have to.
I have to at some point.
And that song is just that movie.
Psychonics.
Yeah.
Selena Gomez, we talked about her, I believe last week.
Last week.
She's going to be doing a Linda Ronstant biopic.
They have not started filming that yet in part because she is busy with her former co-star, David Henry.
And the reviving wizards are way, really, place.
They're with an update take.
The show originally ran for four seasons from 2007 to 2012 on the Disney Channel.
The new series follows David as a grown-up Justin Russo, who's ditched his powers for a magic-free life with his family.
But what changes when a young wizard needs help?
Selena will make a guest appearance in pilot and the pilot episode as sister Alex.
She and David also serve as executive producers.
So I will totally watch that because that show was popular when my kids were little.
So we watched that show.
So I'll watch that.
This comes from like a part.
Apparently this is also something that the fans have been wanting.
Like they didn't just come up with this on their own.
Fans have been like, hey, we want this back.
And especially with her star rising more and more.
It's so often actors are taught by their agents or by industry executives and everything.
Don't talk about that movie you did in the past.
Don't let anybody know about that.
Scratch the earth of it and everything.
I love when actors give credit to where their careers came from.
Drake did this quite a bit.
He was on a TV show.
DeGrasse Heights or something like that.
I always thought it was cool that he did that.
I think the best example for me is George Clooney.
Where George Clooney, he's got the ER fame.
And he's just starting to turn into a big-time A-list star.
And they try to embarrass him.
Like, hey, George, you know, your first movie was Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.
And he's right away.
Oh, I love that movie.
I had such a good time on the set.
We had so much fun.
It was awesome.
I love the way he flipped it.
Yeah, because then what's the retort to that, right?
Like, oh, great.
Yeah, good for him.
I got a break, man.
Yeah, I got my foot in the door and look what I did with it.
And nothing that you see today would be here without that.
Exactly.
Yeah.
I thought that Bruce Willis was always really cool about this too.
Bruce Willis got his start on General Hospital.
And they tried to embarrass him once with that.
And he just looks at the interviewer, looks him straight in the face and says,
that's how I got here.
Yeah, what are you doing?
Like, what are you trying to do?
That's not working.
I never understand that with interviewers.
You will never, ever catch me as an interviewer trying to do a gotcha moment
or embarrass my interview in the person that I'm interviewing or something like that.
That's ridiculous.
It's the opposite of the job to me.
It's the opposite of the way I learned it from Carl and Conan and all the people that I've seen do it.
Let's take a quick look at what's new on your small screen this weekend.
Not really big, not too much in movies.
Too many big movies being released.
Most of your big hits that were already out in the last two weeks are pretty much in the big things in theaters.
So what's new on your small screen?
Well, on CMT tonight, need to breathe guests on the CMT campfire sessions.
Should be a good one.
I've heard good things about that.
Yeah, it's pretty good.
I mean, I can't say that I watch it regularly, but like sometimes there's a certain artist that I want to see
so that I'll just hop out and record it so that I can watch it later.
I've caught a couple of them.
I like them.
I'd like to get, I'd like to actually pull some of the music from some of them to play on WI or I don't think there's some good stuff there.
The second season, the 22nd season premiere of the real, real time with Bill Marr premieres on HBO.
He'll have Gavin Newsom on with him.
Friday on Amazon, the second season finale of Reacher comes out.
That's a fun show if you just want to see some, some people get beat up.
Like if you just want to see a big towering man come to a town and like just, you know, rework things and make things happen to all this.
It's just one of those mindless kind of shows if you like action.
Saturday on ESP on ABC, the NFL division will play off again.
The Baltimore Ravens versus the Houston Texans, Lamar Jackson versus CJ Stroud football.
Saturday also at 630, you know what I'm talking about.
The NFL division playoff game between the San Francisco 49ers hosting the Green Bay Packers.
Nobody needed me to tell them that.
Not in this market.
So you know something I've said something fun about that.
The at Lincoln High School this weekend on Saturday.
There's a basketball game that was rescheduled from one of the snow days and it's sport team at night.
So if you've heard about that, you know, it's a class that plans it and everything.
So sport team at night also got moved.
But then when the Packers won, I think they panicked a little bit because how can we have all of this going on?
And it's important it's important to the school community.
Yeah.
So they're actually showing the Packer game at the event.
Nice.
So I mean, wait a think on your feet, right?
Absolutely.
So people can check in on the game.
They can watch, but they can be part of the event.
So you know, just a shout out to all the kids that have worked really hard on that event for tomorrow.
And you get the best of both, right?
Right.
You get the event.
You can catch the Packers and cheer on Lincoln High School basketball.
Be sure to check out sport team at night, support your local high school, support your local organizations, and especially these kids.
You're supporting these kids.
Wait a think on your feet.
Really smart, really smart.
It makes you feel really good about the future when you hear things like that.
Honestly, I love stuff like that.
Shout out to them.
Well, be sure to mention that again before we wrap up the show.
And Niners and Packers.
I mean, this is a great one.
These two teams have been playing each other.
I don't know if you can call them rivals, but it isn't as if they don't know each other.
You know, these organizations have played each other multiple times.
Sometimes one team winning, sometimes another.
I don't believe that anybody, San Francisco is a 10 point favorite in this game.
And I think that you're playing with house money if you're green Bay.
Yeah, you weren't expected to be here.
You didn't know what you had in Jordan Love.
You didn't know what you were going to do defensively with that coordinator with Barry and everything.
The fact that you are here icing on the cake, baby.
I mean, you won if you're a Packer fan.
You've already won.
You wanted to come into this season to what do we have in a quarterback?
Looks like you got one.
Looks like you got a quarterback.
I think you're working out okay.
No matter what happens in this game outside of a horrible injury or anything knocking on wood.
We don't want anything like that to any player.
You've already won if you're a Packer fan.
You can go into 2024 season already feeling pretty dang good.
So whatever happens in this game, if you win, you know, sky's the limit.
How cool would it be?
This is my dream.
And I got nothing to get some San Francisco 49ers.
And I really have no dog in this race.
But what I would love to see is in the NFC Championship game,
the Detroit Lions versus the Green Bay Packers.
Yeah, would that be fun?
All NFC North NFC Championship.
That'd be awesome.
I do want to just tell you you don't ever have a dog in the race.
Oh, boy.
Oh.
And that would be really cool, wouldn't it?
It would be very cool.
Okay.
Maybe not never.
Rarely.
Is that better?
I'll have you know, Terry.
I'll have you know that the Chicago Bears in 2034 are going to be in the NFC division.
All right.
All right.
No way, Matt.
I double check my math.
2044.
Oh, I was going to say I just wrote that down.
So that's, you know, no, that's 10 years too early.
You know, wheeled in in our walkers.
It is a little time here, you know, 2044.
We're going to get this whole thing figured out.
All right.
All right.
Oh, it's rough being a Chicago fan, especially in such a Wisconsin.
On Saturday, on the, on your small screen at 9 o'clock on the own network, own spotlight,
the colorful interviews, Oprah and Daniel Brooks.
I kind of want to see that.
That's interesting.
Yeah, I'm curious about that too.
Jacob Elberby hosts Saturday Live with Rhino Rap as a musical guest.
And then on Sunday, more football, Detroit hosting Tampa Bay.
Nothing against the Packers fans or anything like that.
I'm really pulling for Detroit.
I really want to see Detroit.
I'd love to see that.
And then on the big game on Sunday night, Buffalo versus Kansas City.
That's going to be a good one.
Should be a great game right there.
Also on your TLC and Max.
The Sears from Mirror of Love and Translation.
Three Americans traveled to Paradise to meet 12 women who can't speak English.
My God, what are we doing?
What are we doing?
Wait, so this is Survivor?
This is Bachelorette Paradise.
I mean, it's Survivor and Bachelorette.
This is real housewives of...
Actually, Terry, you just gave me, you gave me maybe the first reality TV show I would ever watch.
You just came up with it.
Or we just came up with it.
I want Survivor and the Bachelor to combine.
I still wouldn't watch, but...
Oh, no, I'm not going to ever watch that.
I wouldn't watch any reality TV.
But that might be interesting.
That might be curious to check it out.
We're going to check out a break before we do.
We want to remind everybody about Port Edwards Community Game Night going on tomorrow night.
From 6 to 730 over the Port Edwards United Methodist Church at 411 Wisconsin River Drive.
Board game based on the classic game show.
$50 gift certificates for the winning team.
And have some fun with that, everybody.
Enjoy. Enjoy a great night out.
That's fun. I like family food. That'd be fun.
That'd be a lot of fun.
I'd love to do family food.
I'd love to do that show.
Wouldn't that be fun?
I would be afraid to bring my dad on that show.
I'm going to be honest.
I'd be a little afraid.
Because of what his answers would be?
Or because of his interaction with Steve Harvey?
Literally all the above.
Literally.
Because of his outfit?
Yes.
Yes. All of the above.
My dad and Steve Harvey would become instant friends.
I know this in my heart better than I know my own name.
I'm positive they would become good friends.
I'm positive of it.
I just also know that we would we I don't know how well my family would do.
And we wrap up with the Wisconsin Rapids rafters having their hot stove event tomorrow.
Join the rafters over at the hotel meeting conference center from 6 to 10.
It's going to be a great time.
The program will feature a comprehensive preview of the rafters roster,
upcoming promotions and other thrilling insights into the team's plans for the upcoming season.
And it makes you think of spring.
Yeah. Very cool.
The hot stove event is not only a great time to catch great information about your rafters
and to think of spring and plan ahead.
But to support your rafters, support your your local team.
And now for all of you who say there's nothing going on.
We just heard three great events for tomorrow.
We've got the hot stove.
We've got game night imported words.
We've got sport team at night at Lincoln High School.
Or if you're a football diehard football watch the Packer game.
But there's a lot going on.
Got a plenty to do in the area here.
I couldn't agree with you more Terry.
We're going to take a quick time out.
Come back and have some more fun on the morning show at WFHR.
Welcome back everyone.
I want to hear a modern artist cover this.
What do you?
Yeah, I kind of do.
I kind of do.
I love to hear that.
Let's go ahead and get to the phones before we get to our opening topic here.
Good morning.
You're on your mind.
James, I'm glad you came back on the radio.
I think Terry just gave you all.
I mean, a true friend wouldn't have done that.
You know, they would have felt your pain.
Talked you through it.
Really?
You know, I can't talk him off the ledge every time I'm here.
How excited are you for this game Sunday?
Saturday.
Saturday.
Saturday.
I'm going to hopefully be off the ice.
You're fishing.
Showered up and ready to go.
He's in front of me.
And you're ready to watch the football again.
You talk to him like this.
If they get limited mistakes ahead of everything.
I think it could be a good game.
Hmm.
Um, do you, do you, do you,
do you look at this as a fan that you guys are playing with house money?
Or is it?
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Because I was curious about that.
Most of the pack of fans.
I know that's with the, that's where they're sitting with this.
They'd love to see the team win.
Of course, they want to win.
But there's also the kind of like feeling of, well, we can't lose really.
Uh, we've already won this season.
I think I think I've got friends.
You can say if they lose.
It's close.
I'm all right with it.
Mm hmm.
If they go to San Francisco and just get.
Founded.
Then I guess it would be.
More disappointed, especially the way they played.
Those those last months and so far.
I mean.
Five.
Well, yeah, because if they get.
If they get pounded on it, then everybody's going to say Dallas was a fluke.
You know, like I mean.
Yeah.
It's going to be.
You know, no matter what, they're going to have, they're going to find things to pull
that pick at and everything.
But I'm really curious about what he's saying there is if the defense doesn't show
up in Barry and the coaching situation there.
I agree.
And where they go with that.
Uh, I don't know.
To me, if I'm Jim Leonard, I'm still, I'm reaching out.
I'm reaching out and seeing.
Hey, you guys know any interest in a DC over there?
You're because I, if I'm Jim Leonard, I'm looking to get back in state.
Yeah, I mean, I mean, that's, I mean, that's, that's kind of cool.
But even if, uh, they were stuck at a, uh, he doesn't get interviews.
But Mike rables that he wants.
Oh, yeah.
You'll be, you'll be trying to find a fine of, uh, coaching defense.
And it be interesting, uh, with the, you know, he, him and LaFloral work together in Tennessee.
So him and Vrable working, they've worked together before.
So that actually isn't a bad fit either.
And might, have a Mike Vrable on your staff is a nice to get.
Yeah.
Now we'll see how that goes.
So I really called.
Hmm.
The reason I really called you.
So you're talking to last and the last segment about big, great interviewers.
Yeah.
And stuff.
Um, I mean, I don't know how, I don't know how great this one is.
But, and I'm kind of curious.
And if you, if you would do it.
Yes, I, you know, if you watch on somebody's training services, you watch them.
Um, I, the, they got it.
Those sevens that does the.
Half ones.
Um, yeah.
Yeah.
I'm a little familiar with that.
Okay.
Um, that was, I mean, well, I kind of, you know, pinching it a little bit.
And the other night, that's my oldest Ava time.
Oh, really?
And.
Oh, my God.
That was probably one of the best interviews of Paul.
I mean, he's interviewed some great people on that, that show.
Mm-hmm.
But that was my oldest Ava's one.
Oh, my God.
I was probably.
I don't.
I'll have to check that out.
You're talking about, but I love Violet Davis.
I love Violet Davis.
Yeah.
I'll check out any of you with her.
That's the one where they enter.
He interviews him and they eat hot things, right?
Hot.
Yeah.
You do the hot wings.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That is just dumb.
Yeah.
This guy gets some big names on that show.
He gets some really big names on that show that people love that one.
Who was eating him or the people who are the guests?
The guests.
Oh, they both are.
That's right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That guy gets some big gets on that show.
All right.
Let's check that out.
Thank you so much for the call, man.
Enjoy the game.
Can you do that though, James?
Oh, would I do it?
Yeah, I would do it.
Yeah.
I would do that.
Yeah.
I would probably feel better being the interviewee in that situation.
Okay.
Like, if I come in and you have like ghost pepper cheese sitting in front of me,
like, I'm not eating.
First of all, I'm not eating it.
Mm-hmm.
And really, you would not.
Join us next Friday to find out everybody.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because, because Seth will be here.
Let me know how that goes.
That's right.
I appreciate you, man.
Thanks so much for the call.
See you, Kevin.
Yeah.
Have a great day.
Have a great one.
Have a good week and enjoy the game, bud.
Best callers at radio.
We appreciate it.
I was actually going to ask him what kind of pizza.
Because he said he's going to be sitting there with a pizza.
Yeah.
That's right.
What kind of pizza he was going to be eating.
I just show up over there.
There you go.
The kids on TikTok are still obsessed over outdated terms that make you sound old.
And here is another one, just in case you wanted to sound a little bit younger.
Or you just don't care.
If you step away from your computer and you type BRB or be right back.
Apparently, according to them, we are ancient now.
Yes, that is true.
Young people claim that they never really use it.
And maybe there's a good reason.
Because they're never really away from their computers.
Everyone has their phone on them constantly.
So there is no be right back.
Because if somebody says that to you, it's not because they're not on their phone.
It's because they're avoiding you.
It's so right.
Just so right about that.
The discussion kicked off after someone posted a photo of what using a computer used to mean in the early 2000s.
It's a shot of an old computer desk with a tower computer keyboard, monitor, mouse pad and everything.
So like the desk we're at?
Yeah, pretty much.
Yeah.
I just kind of looked over.
Yeah.
It's even got a built-in CD tower.
Those desks always had.
Which we too have, I think, somewhere around here.
I mean, I kind of actually miss having that drive on my computer.
Another person retweeted the photo and said something that resonated with a lot of millennials and gen-exers.
Quote, it was kind of nice when the internet was a single solitary, unmoving place instead of all that it is now everywhere.
You want to be, you want, you went to this specific spot to go to the internet.
And when you left that spot, you left the internet.
It was a place.
And I am not one of these people that romanticizes the past or tries not to romanticize the past.
But I do hear what they're saying.
I also, I think even back then, we kind of understood that this was going to be the way the internet was was growing.
It was only temporary, really like that.
But do you think before when it was more stationary, it was like a tool, right?
Like you went there, you used it, whether that was a desk or you were sitting in the chair with a laptop, whatever.
But now it's like an appendage.
Yes, oh yeah, well said, yeah.
And that's a big difference.
You know, we use hammers all the time.
You don't want to be walking around with a hammer on you all the time.
It's the tool aspect of it.
I think we lost sight of it.
Yeah, for sure.
And it is still used as one plenty by plenty of people.
But it is probably used more if you had a pie chart.
I imagine that it's more fun and leisure stuff than it is the technical or the work things.
It's an interesting way to look at it.
We will be right.
BRB.
See, it's another side of being old.
You can't even use it right now.
Well, BRB.
Well, BRB and little batch.
On the morning show.
I can't.
What's our tag line?
Luckily, drone radio.
Welcome back to the show, everybody.
Morning show here at WFHR.
Locally grown radio.
Fab for playing us in.
Terry and James here with you.
We hope you're having a great one out there.
You have to do that from now on.
I've got I wish we were on camera.
Terry flew into the room doing a nice ballerina.
There is a reason that we are not on video.
We will be.
I'm with you.
I didn't fall.
It's great.
It's just a little leap.
It was a nice leap.
It was a good leap.
Later.
You have a note for us.
Well, I mean, I'm just saying I was wondering what kind of pizza Kevin was going to be eating.
And he said frozen packer pizza from Walmart.
I might have checked that out, but Kevin, you might get to because we might just show up over there.
Make room.
Make room.
Would you be willing to give up your smartphone for one month in exchange for $10,000?
Yes.
You would?
Yes.
Easily 100%.
There's a new campaign inspired by dry January that will give 10 people $10,000 each for giving up their smartphone for a full month.
Okay.
Can you keep your laptop though?
I mean, you're not not accessing.
You're just not using your phone.
Especially.
Is there a job anymore that doesn't involve?
Yeah, that's the first thing I thought of.
Yeah.
It's from the fancy yogurt brand Siggies.
And they say they're doing it because the average person spends 5.4 hours on their phones each day.
That's so irritating.
Yeah.
And they believe, they believe in the power of living a simpler life with fewer distractions.
Cool.
If you're interested, you can apply on their website.
I'll give you that web address in a moment here.
And from now through January 31st, so you got to apply before January 31st, you'll need to write a 100 to 500 word essay on why you need a digital detox.
And the quality of that essay will be a factor on if you get picked.
That's what I was wondering.
I was like, what could the criteria possibly be?
So you need to have the ability to do a little creative writing, right?
Yeah.
It's our bad gig.
Yeah.
You think you can save the money?
Like, could you, would your cell phone company not charge you for that month?
I'm just saying.
No, you're getting 10 grand.
So, yeah, but I am going to go out on a limb and say, no, the cell phone company will not care.
And they may be against this.
And they're not like documenting you 24 seven, right?
Right.
Right.
No, I mean, like, how are you going to have to be on video?
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.
You're not using your phone?
That's a great question.
You'll also get a one month prepaid flip phone to you so you're not without a phone.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
So you have a phone.
You're just losing all of the smarts.
I get the ability to speak.
A three month supply yogurt and a lock box for you to put your smartphone in for a full month.
Winners will be announced by February 15th, but it's unclear when the actual quote digital detox would start.
So that might make a difference for some people where it falls in the calendar year, right?
Yeah.
Like, if you, if you'd be willing to be without it or not.
And I think that lock box is hilarious because what if you like, could you just see like it's made
20th and you open the lock box and all of a sudden it's like, yeah, you know, like there are alarms and sirens and
Imagine all the updates or it implodes.
No, I'm just saying because you opened it.
You know, to get to the phone like all the ways that they would be setting you up to not use it.
So you get the 10 G's, you get the smartphone lock box, a good old fashioned flip phone,
one month of prepaid SIM card and three months worth of sickies yogurt.
I kind of like it.
That's, that's for, you know, being a part of the contest.
It's not, they don't really have a winner for this.
It's just all 10 people do it and they're going to see if they can do it for them.
I'm sure they're going to document some things about it.
There's got to be some of that.
You know, for their promo material.
And, you know, it'd be really fun to write one for someone else.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
No, that'd be great.
Because we're all thinking of people that we know really.
But because you imagine though, all of a sudden they get noticed.
Oh, yeah, you want, you know, you've been selected blah, blah.
Lock up your phone.
I like the idea too of like somebody doing this too.
Like in that situation, but them also not that it works out.
Like they, they don't come back now.
They leave the phone in the lock box or something like that.
That'd be great.
Save this one because I wanted to get your take on this Terry.
When I was a kid or when I was a kid, I moat a lot of lawns.
I did a lot of lawn mowing.
It was a big, you know, way of helping my dad and helping the family
and also making a couple bucks.
And, and then they, I saw writing lawn mowers.
And everything changed after that.
You know, people, people like, it just seemed different to me.
Oh, old one to heck.
There's a kid's clean car electric scooter that just came out.
It's called a kid's clean car.
It's an electric scooter that kids can ride around the house on flat services.
And it will clean the floors as they're having fun.
God bless America.
It's not agreed.
It's not that sophisticated.
You change the car and the kids between the ages of two and eight can ride.
It's probably just like a swiffer cloth underneath.
Why do we think of this ourselves?
I really mad at myself.
What is going on?
There's a mop plate that can be put on the front and you can wrap a paper towel around it.
Yeah.
As you can imagine, this is more of a novelty, though, than a true cleaning device.
You can't expect it to do too good of a job.
Oh, I think it's good for spot cleaning in between deep cleans.
They're selling it on Amazon, but it's currently sold out.
You can bookmark the page and check back or you can email kids clean car at gmail.com.
Kids clean car at gmail.com.
You know, here we are, a day late.
Yeah.
We should have come up with this.
Yeah, absolutely.
You're 100% right.
Well, I'm going to show Terry a little bit of the video of it.
And it looks like a true scooter.
The kids got his feet up out of everything.
Fabulous.
And it looks all fancy.
Seriously, all it is is a swiffer.
It is.
Yeah, it's complete.
They just, if I'm the swiffer company, I want in on this.
I want my money off of this because that's awesome.
It's just like literally like a microfiber cloth, you know, thing across the front.
Now, the funny thing is is you'd have to set up some kind of track for these kids so that they're covering more of the.
Yes.
Look, could you just see like you walk in the house and you've got a perfectly shiny like track.
You know, I mean that they've been going to rob, but they've never deviated from that area.
Now, you're going to have very clean floors and a bunch of holes in your walls or bumps in your walls.
All these scuff marks all over it.
Did you see how fast it was moving?
I think they would have to slow down to actually clean.
But that's, that is smart.
It's kind of like when I think it's like dirt devil makes like for littles.
It's a, I think there's a broom and a mop and a vacuum cleaner that actually works.
And it's like, oh, kids, grab your vacuums.
We're going to clean.
Enjoy it.
We enjoy it while we can.
Well, kid, there's that there's a very small window where kids will help with chores and enjoy doing them and stuff and everything.
We enjoy that moment.
We enjoy it long as we can.
You know, when you were talking about lawn mulling before, I was thinking about I used to ride my bike from my parents house to my grandma's house about five miles.
Um, mull her lawn and then ride my bike back or sometimes I'd stay overnight and then you know ride my home the next day.
I think seriously.
And this is, this is my, this is against myself.
But like, if I told my kids to do that when they were like 12, ride your bike five miles to go cut the grass.
And that, you know, they'd probably be like, yeah, pass.
That was just normal.
I mean, we just, oh, I don't know.
I would, um, especially when we first moved out here and where we were living on 23rd, I used to live on the other side of town on 23rd right by Washington school.
And there were some apartments that opened up a couple of years like a year or two after we moved in.
And those apartments had moat lawns that needed to be mowed.
So I dragged the mower like three, four blocks down there didn't think anything of it.
I can't imagine trying to ask a kid doing that nowadays.
I can't even, I didn't even know how that would go unless you want to laugh.
You know, I guess that's the only reason I don't know.
Um, that, that's fun though.
I like this.
This is a fun idea.
The idea of more items like this, more things like this for fair.
Got this grand brand new game.
I mean, this is what you do.
Okay.
You spray this mist on the window.
And then you've got to get rid of the mist.
Go on and get to it.
There's more than that.
Yeah.
I mean, you know, child labor laws fall five.
I think they probably see right through that one.
There's this new game where you go over to the garbage can.
You see if it's full.
Yeah.
So like that, I could handle.
I don't think I could have a four or five year old clean my windows.
I think I'd be like,
Oh, no, no.
You don't even want a 46 year old in me doing it.
I can clean just about anything.
I am horrible at cleaning windows.
I don't know what it is.
I, people ask me to do it because I'm tall all the time.
Yeah.
But I'm bad at it.
I don't know why.
I try, I try.
I don't love it.
Yeah.
I do it.
I don't love it.
What's the cleaning thing that you do that you hate the most?
For me, it's probably that.
It's probably cleaning windows.
I don't mind doing dishes.
I don't mind that.
Mine is showers.
Oh, yeah, I can see that.
I hate that.
I can see that.
But I think probably we have like, just because we have like hard water.
I mean, we have a softener and everything.
But you still, it just, you got to, I got it.
You got to scrub a lot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're going to take a time out.
We're going to come back and wrap up the show.
It's the morning show on WFHR.
Locally grown radio.
We just played that one.
Here we go.
Oh, wow.
Yes.
Yes.
Welcome back to the show, everybody.
Morning show here at WFHR.
Locally grown radio.
Believe it or not.
Oh, now we did, we did a threes company earlier.
But this one is another one of those TV theme songs.
Oh, yeah.
It just gets stuck in your head.
And even if you don't know what it was from, you know it's from a TV show.
It's hilarious.
It's more popular and has had longer life than the show did.
Believe it or not, I'm walking on it.
I never thought I could feel soon.
At that point, that show.
I would love to see Marvel or DC or one of these big superhero companies
bring the great American hero back.
Good point.
And they got to have the hair.
He's got to have the hair though.
What are they waiting for?
Come on, do it already.
Let's see here.
We got a right story to touch on.
And it's kind of a funny one.
We haven't been doing those.
No, we haven't been doing too many of them.
The whole show has been the right story, really.
When you order food delivery now,
you can usually customize the drop off like contactless deliveries
during the pandemic and things like that.
A restaurant in the UK recently got an amusing request
into the delivery notes though.
It said, not quietly, I'm supposed to be on a diet.
Right.
Whenever the diet was, there was definitely a cheat meal.
The order was a nine inch Texas barbecue style pizza,
a double chocolate ice cream waffle with chocolate sauce and a doctor pepper.
Wow.
I'm surprised.
Go bigger, go home.
I'm surprised wasn't a diet doctor pepper.
Yeah.
The restaurant posted a photo of the receipt
and said that they made sure the driver honored the request
because they didn't want to, quote, betray the customer trust.
So, all right, let's unpack this.
At first, I was like, that's weird.
But then I'm thinking, so do you think that there's someone else
in the home that they didn't want the attention drawn to?
You know what I mean?
So, this person's totally sneaking the food.
Yeah.
From someone else, from someone else knowing.
I feel, I think that's what it was.
That's what it feels like it was at least.
I don't know.
Who's at the door?
No one.
Wrong address.
What the movie love actually?
Where she opens the door and he's standing out there
and he's like, don't tell you.
I remember seeing, I heard people hyping that movie up
before I actually saw it.
And everybody talks about that scene and how romantic it is,
how beautiful it is.
She's got her boyfriend in the house.
This guy is standing out there.
I mean, she's basically with her boyfriend five feet away.
She's thinking about being with this other guy.
I'll keep it down.
But look, Andrew Lincoln's handsome for all the days.
I get it.
But, come on.
What are we teaching here?
What are we doing?
What do you think she did with the pizza box after?
Oh.
I shouldn't assume it was a sheet.
He or she.
He or she.
Either way, that's a good question.
I mean, wouldn't that be funny in the delivery notes?
Please put it in inconspicuous container.
Remember when you were a kid and you tried to hide evidence?
It's exactly like that.
I guarantee you it's like that.
You go way, way above and beyond farther than you need to.
We shouldn't laugh.
Clearly there's an issue.
But.
I wish I'm well with it.
Good luck.

I've got a good story to just wanted to get in because it's fun.
And it talks about dogs.
A dog in Philadelphia kept digging holes in his owner's yard.
And his owner didn't know why.
Turned out there was an underground gas leak that could have caused a huge explosion.
It took workers three days to fix it.
They say if the dog hadn't found the leak,
the woman's whole house could have blown up
and maybe even their neighbor's house and who knows what else could have happened.
Isn't that amazing?
Yeah, just amazing.
Just incredible.
I never heard anything like that before.
But I thought that, geez, that's just too darn cool.
Yeah, and you're probably like, you know,
reprimanding the dog.
What digging holes?
What digging holes?
Usually it's the dog that has its tail between its legs.
The owner of this time has got his tail between his legs.
I'm embarrassed by that.
And a woman in New Jersey posted a video after a dollar tree employee
offered to hold her screaming toddler while she checked out and paid.
She wrote in the caption,
we need more angels like this in the world.
That's pretty cool.
That is hard, especially if you have to shop with your littles.
You know what I mean?
If you don't have anybody else that can help you and you have to do it.
That's sweet.
And they have off time.
So yeah, that's awesome.
That was nice.
Terry was great hanging out with you.
Thank you so much for everything.
You have yourself a great weekend.
You too.
We'll talk to you guys next week.
Enjoy the weekend.
Be good to each other.
And we'll talk to you soon and later right here.
Oh, I like what cat does it.
