Good morning, Wisconsin. Good morning, world. It's a new day. We hope it's
treating you good. Got your host, James J here. I am joined by Seth Hathack. Good
morning and the best listeners and radio. Thanks for joining us, everybody. We
hope you're having a great start to your day out there. We're to kick things
off right with our good friend Brittany Marlow. Brittany, good morning. Good
morning. How are you? We're doing good. How are you doing? Pretty good. I'm
trying to see you guys that I can't through the fog. Yeah, it's a little tough.
It's a little tough. We should all be talking with London accents. We
should all be, uh, Brittany, uh, before we get going too far, I did want to let
you know we went into our national day of calendar. And today, if you have, I
don't know if you've seen, it's observed the weather day. Is it? Completely
different than any other day of our lives where we pay no attention to the
weather at all. Yeah. But that's not a topic of conversation. Never comes up in
elevators when you're on uncomfortable silences or anything like that. Um, it
is, it is a noteworthy day, though. As hopefully we can all give a little
credit to you and your profession and the people in your industry. Uh, I
actually went down the rabbit hole of history of a weather in this country
and the way we observe it. And it all started grass roots. It all started
with just people wanting to share information with other people and look out
for each other. There's a tornado coming. Just letting people know, uh, usually
it was a lot of yellow. Oh, no, it's a telegraph. It's pretty cool. I
thought. That is super interesting. I love that. And thank you so much and shout
out to all those meteorologists. We have a tough job. We could take the rest
from you guys. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. I mean, not just putting up with me in the
morning. I mean, it's all the other stuff, too, that she's got to do. And
plenty in her profession. We appreciate your pretty. I should probably let
you do your job. Uh, what does Mother Nature God store for us today? Uh,
well, she's still on her mood slaying of course. Here we are in the hot
flat. Here we are in the hot flat. There's definitely a female.
You can make that joke. I am not making that joke. You can. I got a mother. I
have. I'm going to go through it eventually. So yes. Yes. Yes.
But oh, goodness. I mean, the warm weather here today, we're already
slightly above freezing, sitting at 33 degrees right now. But you put the warmth
over the snow. It's starting to melt it. Of course, we're stuck in the cloud of
fog. Dead fog advisory lasts until nine. So there are 55 minutes of it.
But the fog is still going to linger a little bit throughout the afternoon.
It just won't be as bad. What's going to happen is the rain is going to start
to roll in. So thankfully, our temperatures are at 33. They will rise to
highs into the mid 30s. So well above freezing. So we'll start off as rain right
around lunch hour if not a little bit earlier for some of us.
We'll start off light. But it's going to start to ramp up this evening. But we
could see up to a quarter of an inch of rainfall. So what it also wants to do
overnight right now for us into Friday morning and Friday afternoon. It's
targeting central Wisconsin. And that kind of goes up towards the
Marinette as well. But we can see a winch remix flipping over as the system
departs. So that means flash freezing. Yeah.
It's morning from all the rain and all the wet. It's going to be hard for
clouds to put salt down as it's raining because it'll wash it around too.
So keep that in mind. That small morning is definitely going to be flicking
slippery as our temperatures drop a little freezing with a winch remix.
Small morning. All right. Thanks for the update and the
heads up already. We appreciate it. I'll be safe out there and any
traveling you got to do. Maybe if you can get it out of the way
this morning. Yes. Absolutely.
Appreciate Brittany. We'll get people ready for the weekend tomorrow. You
have yourself a good one. You too. Thanks. Appreciate it. She's great.
She's great. We really appreciate it. She's pulling double duty for us today too.
She's filling in the news for the next couple of days for Melissa and she's
doing the weather. I mean she should have just stayed on the show with us today.
Yes. You could have filled it completely. You're right. Yes. You could have.
We'll ask her to do that the next time. We'll see how she feels about that
next time. We're looking forward to talk about Brittany tomorrow.
Tomorrow co-hosting alongside me will be Katrina Hittner from Family
Natural Foods. Looking forward to that. That's going to be a lot of fun. We'll
get into more of our schedule a little bit later.
Seth and I got a lot to do this morning. All right. Not only do we have our
birthday and anniversary club coming up in just a little bit. We got to talk
about our favorite seasons. What is our favorite season? We should not
winter. Yeah. Yeah. You are ahead of the game. Hi. This one.
It is National Irish Coffee Day. We'll talk about that as well. Okay.
Costco is doing. Got a big Easter bunny. We want to talk about it.
That they are selling. Here's how big. Yeah. Yeah.
9 o'clock hour. We're going to kick off with our friend Madison Rafter,
executive director of the South of County Humane Society and our pet of the week.
Looking forward to that. After that, Seth and I will get into a little bit of entertainment news.
We've got some interesting. I can't wait on this. If you haven't heard already, John
Stewart's back, baby. Easy is. John Stewart is back. Oh, wow. He has taken over as
executive director and a host of the Daily Show. He is going to host on Mondays.
I believe starting next week or the week after and going forward and he's going to be
just Mondays and the correspondence will do Tuesday through Thursday. It sounds like
I don't think this is temporary either. I think this is what they're going to stick with for a while.
They went through a quite a run on that. We'll talk about that a little bit later.
We're also going to get into a planned TV show reboots that got cancelled.
Oh, I've been dying to get into this moment. I think we're going to have some fun with that one.
That should be pretty cool. And a nursing home in Baltimore has a suggestion for Taylor Swift,
which he visits this weekend for the playoff game. Okay. I'm very curious. What is that?
What are they talking about there? Have you ever wondered why there is only two
escalators in Wyoming? Did you know that there are only two escalators in Wyoming?
That information has never crossed my path. So no, to answer your question.
Yeah, I can imagine there's about three people holding their hand up in the whole world right now.
But we're going to get into that and it actually has a tie into that.
Oh, okay. With another interesting story we'll get into. So we got some of that in the night
o'clock hour for you. We'll touch on our local good stories of the day. We got some great things
going on in our town from now and into the weekend. We want to touch on. How are you doing this
morning, Seth? I am doing all right. In spite of the weather, I am doing just fine this morning.
Good to hear. Ready and rare and to go. Look like you seem like it. And look like although you don't
have your coffee yet. So no, I already had my coffee. It's all good. I'm already jazzed up
right there. So in about let's see, 36 minutes, I'll be like, okay. We just get the most out of
you as we can. Exactly 36 to 37 minutes. I got it. I can work with that. All right. Let's go.
Some of us some of the most unusual items have ended up in the lost and found at Wisconsin's
Lambo field. I'm just going to go over a couple of these great articles that comes to us from
UPI dot com UPI dot com. Go ahead and check it out. Keith Cronin manager of guest services at the
home of the Green Bay Packers said that there have been slightly less than 800 items to end up in
the lost and found since April. Really? Yeah. It seems like quite a bit. I don't know what the
over under is for a loss. No, what a high or low number. Well, when you get that many people
in a building together, you know, there's going to be people who forget stuff. There's I mean, yeah,
that it's just it's got to be a lot of averages there. Cronin told Spectrum News 1, some of the more
valuable items include mobile phones, credit cards, and sometimes jewelry. Yikes. He said some of
the more unusual items to cross his desk in the past 16 years include a pair of shoes, a cane
walker, and hearing aids. Whoa. I really hope someone didn't leave their pacemaker now. Yeah,
right. Yeah. That would be very bad. Bar Van De Hei, who has worked for the Packers for 12 years,
has seen her share of strange items left behind by football fans can only imagine. I want to
interview her so bad. I quote someone lost their dentures once. Oh dear. That's yeah, a very
personal item, she said. Passports. We've run across a few of those and anybody that's traveling,
you got to have the passport to get to on the airplane. Yeah, exactly. Wow. That's tough. Oh,
hope they didn't just fly in for the game because then we're going anywhere after that.
More routine items include a color card because most packer fans don't understand that's not gold.
It's yellow. I'm joking. Just letting it go. Let it go. More routine items such as hats,
scarves, and blankets are kept at the lost and found for 60 days before being donated local
shelters, animal rescues, and veterans hospitals. There you go. And there's your good story.
It's one of your good stories today right there. That's pretty cool. That's really interesting.
I love the idea. I want to, it's cool to hear. It's interesting to hear these items. What I
want is the story behind them. Packers score in the last seconds of the game. You're
cheering in your hearing aid falls out. You jump it up and down. Yeah. And your dentures fly out,
you know, something like this. I want the story behind it and I want the people around that person
and I want their feedback. So I'm cheering because the packers just made it unbelievable. Come back
and I got these dentures flying at me. No, that's what I was going to say. They were way up
in the second deck and then, oh, no. Oh, boy. So I gave them back with a beer with the
beer. Great story. Great. Great. That is good stuff, man. Get UPI.com. If you're curious about
the whole list, have any of you ever lost anything at a packer game or at any game?
Any kind of thing, man, sporting event or anything like that. Well, it's thinking about this.
Okay, even you go into high school basketball game, you know, you get up on those,
those bleachers, you lose something underneath. It's gone because that's like a black hole.
It defies science, but it's, it's there. I mean, you're never going to get it again.
I don't think we're ever changing though. Like as much as life evolves,
we may even evolve from not sitting down anymore and we're going to have those bleachers.
Like we'll still have kids sitting on those same bleachers that we set out at high school.
They're never getting rid of this. They always, they have not changed the way of making them
since 1935 and they're still hard and very painful and and no one really wants to sit on.
But we have that's all we got. We got to stay there. Got to watch the game. It's, it's part of how
they get kids to stand up for the pledge allegiance. They're so uncomfortable. Let's take a call
before we go to break. Good morning. What's on your mind? Okay, so I used to work in a high school
and I used to work in the office. So that was where the lost and found is located in
Melissa can confirm this story for a good month. We had someone's hair in the lost and found.
It was left behind by visiting teams athlete. Whoa.
Well, who's picking that up? It was, I mean, unless it's a 30 or 40 year old man,
I don't see them coming by to pick up the hair that they lost.
Well, it was, you know, to be fair, it was kind of like a clip in extensions.
Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah. Sorry. It's, it's, it's excitable. It's understandable.
Yeah. That, okay. That makes a little more sense. That's, yeah. Yeah.
But even still, is that, is that a fun item to come back for? Is that, like, I lost my hair.
I could do. I mean, we did call the, the schools from which we recently had visiting teams.
That's good. That's good. It claimed it. So, you know, okay. So how long does it stay there
until one of you around the office starts wearing it? Like just for fun, just for fun.
Oh, it was there for maybe two days before someone had a haircut.
Oh, yeah. There you go. Awesome. Enjoy your morning. Thanks so much for the call. You have a good one.
Best listeners of radio. We appreciate it. It's better than just extensions than like a full blown
wig. Yeah. Because try to find the person that's going to pick that up. You know,
let's like under the bleachers or something like that. Well, it's either a blonde wig or it's a
blonde muskrat. And I'm not picking it up. I'm going to.
A.P. Great, though, if a muskrat showed up. Like, yeah, that's mine.
Oh, geez. Here we go. Interesting color you chose. Yeah. I didn't see that coming.
That's a very interesting choice. It doesn't match your fur, but, you know, we'll take
his commercial break. We'll come back and do some celebrate with our birthday and
anniversary club coming up on the morning show.
It's time to do some celebrating with the birthday and anniversary club name pending.
Next week, everybody, we've got some breaking news for you. Next week, we are going to be
kicking off with our new sponsor, our new birthday and anniversary club. We'll be starting this
on Monday. We'll also have a sponsor for our sunrise show on WizCountry 105, which you can
catch a seven to eight every Monday through Friday. Yeah, we're kicking off a bunch of stuff
next week. By the way, we've kind of been sneak previewing who it is the whole week. If you've
been paying attention, you probably know who it is already, but we're not going to say anything
until next week. Yep. And we're looking forward to that. And we are very much looking forward to
doing some celebrating with our birthdays and anniversaries. We encourage you to get us more of
these birthdays and anniversaries. Send them to info at wfhajr.com, james.mailofheadstifigmidi.us.

that way through the same way. Go ahead and direct messages on our Facebook pages.
You can go ahead and type in your search bar, wfhajr, wyri, and reach out to us that way.
And call up and join the conversation. They've got this awesome thing called a telegraph.
I want someone that, you know, we have no way of receiving it. No. We don't have a telegraph
receiver, but I would love it if someone tried to do that. You know what? I bet you there's an
atlet's see the telegraph app. I'll bet you that's on there. I'll look that up later.
Telegraph us your birthday information live on air. Oh, I love that. Yes. That's the next day
to we're bringing that to civic next. You know, we're going to be doing that. We're bringing
radio back. Let's keep moving. Let's bring back telegraphs. Call up and join the conversation
with the telegraph or you know, a morse code, whatever you want to use. We've got
enjoying the conversation. Everybody with your birthdays and anniversaries would love to hear
from you. Call up. You got now until the end of the segment and the other 10 minutes or so
before you, you know, we wrap this up. Get it to us. We'd love to celebrate with you.
And we'd love you to be able to share in the birthday with our other listeners, including
our own Melissa Kaye. Melissa Kaye's birthday today. I will be I will be nice to her. You know,
she's not here. I'll still I'll say nice things. But just today, just today, just today,
even just for this segment, even. No, no, no, no, no. I I mentioned this many times. I did this job
for a long time by myself. And now at this point, I could not even dream. Couldn't even imagine doing
this without you and especially without Melissa. Melissa's been an integral, huge part of things
around here. She joined us at an interesting time where we had new, we had a transition of
management, of ownership and everything. And Melissa came on as mainly as a co-host and she was
going to do news on the side. At the time, we were going to be more of a music station. Exactly.
With the buying, the changing again of the guard with civic media, buying us in civic media,
being a much more of a freedom of democracies network, a company, a company focused more on talk
radio. Right. Melissa was kind of asked to take over a bit more on news. And she didn't blink an
eye. She just, you know, she's the definition. You and her are the definitions of true team players.
And I appreciate that so much of her. Just as importantly to me, personally, I consider her a
very close friend, somebody that careful very deeply and get along with very, very well. Love
working with Melissa. She's one of the easiest, funnest people to ever work with. This is the theater
connection, everybody. And I don't know, we are all, the three of us are all connected through the
theater. That's how we all met each other and and everything. So I'm so that's why you should go and
try out for place. Absolutely. Yes. You'll never know what'll come from. Yep. Or blame it for
stuff, I guess. You can do that as well. Melissa is also one of these people that's got like a
billion skills. She does. She, and I have a, it throws me sometimes when I say something to her
and she doesn't know, you know, reference it or what? Wait a minute. She can't do it or something
like that. It shocks me. Unless it sports related. She's well known that her disdain for sports.
So that's our little thing we can, can pick on her. You are very appreciated around here. Melissa,
enjoy your time off. You've earned it. We also want to wish a very, oh, I actually need a one or
a two from you, man. Oh, we're going to have some work here. Let's do one today. All right,
there we go. So we've first up, wish a happy birthday to John Owens. Happy birthday, John.
John have a great day. I hope it's a good one for you, sir. It's kind of, it's got a country name
to it. Like a John Oh, John Oh, yeah, here's John Oh, it's not with. It's good name.
And Val Wilson is our qualifier. Oh, congratulations. Val and happy birthday. Another good name.
Yeah, I like that name. Val, we were, we were talking about names that aren't,
our Valerie is a good one. I like that name. Yep. Enjoy your day, Val. I hope it's a good one for
you. You're our qualifier. We dive into our celebrity list. First up, a good one.
Alisa Keys is 43. Wow. In quite a, she's 43 only. Yeah, she's been around forever. So
she was like a teenager when she started. Yeah, she was, she was really young. She actually
got started, even earlier than we found her, discovered her as a, as a society and everything.
She was doing a lot of songwriting, a lot of background work, studio work, I believe.
And then no one came out and everything was changed. Yes, amazing talent.
If I ain't got you is the one that really stands out to me. Empire mind is great.
Underrated piano player. She's fabulous. She is incredible. I've watched her play and there's
a couple of live performances. I've seen of hers where the camera goes in on her hands and shows
her on the keys. She is so quick and nimble on those. She's got some of the smarter hands you're
going to see. I really feel like she's an actually underappreciated piano player. She is beyond good.
And partially that's because of her fabulous voice and her songwriting skills. And I mean,
she's just all around talent. Yeah, yeah. Charlie Booley is 43. Dmitry in the Twilight movies.
He's also a character actor on Nashville. Oh, okay. Mia Kirschner is 49.
Good actor. Yes. Spock's mom on Star Trek Discovery. The assessment Mandy on 24 and Jenny on
the L word. Oh, wow. Nice career. Let's see here. It's getting thinner. Oh, dear. It's getting
thinner. Oh, boy. Let's see here. Yeah. Andy Cox is 68 guitars for the English beat and fine
young cannibals. Hey, this is a pretty good band. So I like those. They've got some good stuff.
He's no ranking Roger. But whoops, your reference. That was a good one. That was a great
scare reference. I like that. Diana Manoff is 68 Elaine on soap and Carol on empty nest. Oh,
wow. Yes. I remember her. Yeah. She was really good. Another good character actor. Yes,
exactly. And man, did that take me back? I those two shows that I just mentioned soap and empty
nest. Whoa. Whoa. That like my Nana loved the Golden Girls like all get like maybe more than
few shows at the time. And right after that was empty nest. I remember that was right. That was
right. Back to back. And soap was a game changer. Like soap was way ahead of its time. It really was.
There were some things in soap that have not aged well and everything. But there were also aspects
of it that were way ahead of its time. It was it was in a lot of respects. It was very meta.
You know, before meta was a thing. Yeah, it was it was very self-referential. And of course,
it was a satire of soap operas. So yeah. Yeah. You had a young Billy Crystal on there.
Yeah. A bunch of great. That whole cast was amazing. It's really good cast. Yeah. I think there
was an actor. I want to say, no, maybe there wasn't. I thought there was an actor that was on
both shows other than Diana. And then there was another actor that was on soap and empty nest.
You got me on that one. So people no longer with us like Dean Jones born on this day in 1931.
Legendary Disney star in the lovebugs. The lovebugs. Shaggy D.A. and saved by the bell.
Hawaiian style. Good. Good. I mean, if you got a you got to be the second bill to the car. Yeah.
That's kind of a rough gig. But he did good. He did. He did a good job with it.
I I've thought about this as an actor many times. I would not many times sort of thought about this
before because when I was a kid, I remember really enjoying the movie Turner and Hooch with Tom Hanks.
And at the time, this is long before you won a bunch of Oscar. Oh, yeah. I consider Tom Hanks
one of the more versatile actors I knew that I could think of and that I studied and everything.
I really enjoyed his work. And I would think, well, what's it like being, you know, Tom Hanks and
all this skill and talent and everything? You're you're you're second to this dog. And I don't know
what will be what will be more that or or or night rider or or the. Oh, yeah. I don't know which
one would be how would how you'd feel about either one. To me, I'm a working actor. I don't care.
I will be the 20th name behind dogs and cars and cats. Well, I tell you what, man, when they do
that, you know, we're talking about reboots that didn't make it. I know one that will. My mother
the car. You are going to perfect for that. The Jerry Van Dyke roll. I mean, you're right there,
man. I appreciate that. I'm going to definitely try out for that. I'm also trying to get a
version of my mother the car and shot shot stopper. My mom will shoot as a like a combination.
I'm trying to combine the two movies. Oh my god. We'll see how it goes. We'll see how it goes.
I saw that in the theater. I'm so ashamed to admit that. I saw that in the theater. Oh, sure,
there was another movie that was way better right next to it. You know, seven one five four two four
twenty six hundred. What's the worst movie you've ever seen in the theater? Oh, that's that's close
for me. That's got to be a tough one. Right. That's got to be a tough one. All right. That's a
roving question. We're keeping that story. We're keeping that one open for a while. You pay
good money. Yes. To go to a theater and you saw that turkey. Yeah. I generally have to think about
that. Wow. I have to think about that. That's a good one. That's a great one. And a legend one
coming up in our birthdays and anniversaries. The Legend Edit James Born in the State in 1938
Pest Wing 2012. Beyonce played Edit in the 2008 movie Cadillac Records did an amazing job.
She won a Grammy for singing Edit. Ed is singing it's your song at last. At last. Oh,
I love that tune. When she performed it at the Obama's first dance at her inaugural
at the inauguration ball. It was it was even better that birth. But Edit James's work
her writing her life stands out on its own. Yeah. No discursive. Beyonce did an amazing
job, but she didn't need to. And his work is good on its own. Well, without Edit James,
there is no Beyonce. Yeah. One could make the argument. So very true. Very true.
I'm going to definitely be listening to Semetta James today. And the great Virginia Wolf
Born in the State in 1882 Pest Wing in 1941. Novelist Musreads, Miss Dalloway,
To the Lighthouse Orlando, The Waves, A Room of One's Own, The Years. A Room of One's Own
was almost required reading in high school. And I recommend everybody read the light to the light
house. Yeah, that's a good one. Over best. Some of the best quotes ever came from Virginia Wolf.
Yeah. The truth is I often like women. I like their unconventuality. I like their
completeness. I like their and and an anemone and an amenity. Why are women so much more
interesting to men than men are to women? That's good question. Arrange whatever pieces come your way.
But my favorite of hers is for most of history, anonymous was a woman. Yes, that's probably
your most famous saying. Yes. And that's so so true. So true. It's so true. And there's so much
history behind that sent the simple sentence that's simple. It's part of why would I say the quote.
There's a good quote. There's it's like a short story. That's what I mean. Yeah, there's more
digging that needs to be done after you hear a line like that. Let's go and take a quick phone call.
Good morning. What's on your mind? Yeah, I'm going to be the only one to say this,
but I didn't care much for Will Ferrell and I walked out of hell. Oh, wow.
Hey, they teach strong man. You know, yeah, that's what I like that one. All right. That's a
shirt. I guarantee you're not the only one too. For every popular move, for every movie that
I'm the one I don't like Titanic. That's right. I don't have any interest in seeing that.
I'm the one guy. That's it. Everybody else has seen it by now. I hear you. Everybody has
their own taste. I appreciate the call of the feedback. That's good. That was a good one.
That's a good thing. I've never walked out of a movie. I don't think. Yeah, I never have. But,
but yeah, maybe I should have a couple of them, but yeah, yeah, I definitely should have.
But I've got a thing in me where how many times I've seen a movie that is horrible for the first
two hours and in the last 10 minutes, it's like something I've never seen. I didn't see coming
into it. It's amazing. I don't know what will happen. I stuck through Ishtar. Okay. I stuck
through that. By the way, not the worst movie ever. It's actually kind of a fun movie. It's
actually just got a lot of, you know, that press and all that. And it's a reference that was like
30 years ago. It was nobody. No one's like the Ishtar is the worst movie ever made. The
trope is gone. Yeah, nobody's made that joke in at least 25 years, except for me.
Hey, we got the DC universe, man. We had so much to pick from right now. Oh, yeah. That
you just hit on something right there. We'll be back with more. And keeping this question
going, everybody, 715-424-2600. What's the worst movie you ever saw in the theater?
Go ahead and share it with us. There are no bad answers. We're just having fun with this.
Call up and join the conversation. We'll be back after our local and state news on Wisconsin.
Oh, I did it. I did it. I was going to do it. I knew I was going to do it at least. It's been a
while. It's been a while. WFHR, locally grown radio. Welcome back, everybody.
Morning show here at WFHR, locally grown radio.
Getting funky around here. Man, on a good foot.
This is my favorite era of the temptations.
Leads 60s into the early 70s. Love it.
They were still, it was the tail end of them doing a lot of the dancing. They kind of stopped a lot
of the dance moves. They still did a little of it, but it became a little bit more about the music.
A little bit more. Absolutely. Their big producer and songwriter at that time was Norman Whitfield.
Good. Kind of stolen them away from Smoky Robinson. Because apparently they had an internal
competition at Motown. So basically, Smoky had a lock on the subject because he kept doing hits
with them. But then when he had a song that didn't go viral, what the heck, that back then.
What was it a hit for them? Yeah, yeah. Then apparently Barry Gordy said, okay, now Norman,
you get a shot. And then for the next like five, six years, it was all Norman Whitfield with all
some of their psychedelic stuff, which is like I said, my favorite stuff. That is pretty cool.
Yeah. A little bit of random history for me out there. I like that. Let's go ahead and see
what's on your mind out there. Good morning around the show. And morning gentlemen.
Morning. Morning. Talking movies that
that you walked out on or were not good to watch the movie theater. Yeah. Yeah.
I got Greg as a child with my mother out of Africa. Oh, that's tough. That's for a kid.
For a kid. That's tough. Stay goodness, though. The movie theater had a miss Pac-Man game.
That's perfect. Oh, that is such an oven era. Yes. Oh, my gosh. Oh, great one. That's a good one.
That was probably one of the worst ones I got. It's not going to as you know,
as a kid going movie theater, but there's another one I didn't really appreciate either.
If going to and I wait that you want with a bunch of friends was Robocop. Oh, yeah, I can see that.
Yeah. Yeah. I buy that for a dollar. Oh, that movie. Oh, that movie. Oh, that's that's that.
That one that would have had its place in history. That's absolutely. If the reboot proved
anything, it was it was that place in history, and that's it. Absolutely. Yeah.
Good call, man. Thank you for it. We appreciate you. You guys have a good day. You too. You too.
Have a good one. Oh, 424, 2600. Call up. Get us your favorite. The worst movie you saw in
the theaters. Yes. Yes. Everyone's got to have this story. I mean, like he did it. It was great.
It was a kid who's going to want to what kid is going to want to watch out of that. That's rough.
That's rough. We we wanted to go see I remember my cousin Lisa and I wanted to see inner space.
Real bad. It looked so cool. And you know, it was a it was a great I cast Martin Short and all
that. Yeah. Dennis Queen. Yeah. Yeah. Cast was fun movie. But La Bomba had come out. And my uncle
Rich really felt it was important for my cousin Lisa and I to see La Bomba. No richy valence was
in everything. And we were so angry and so and we went to it and being the the serious little
kid that I was, I ended up loving it. I ended up really. It's a great movie. Yeah. My cousin Lisa
was just the whole time fudzing in her seat and making noises. And it was very unhappy, very
unhappy. Oh, one of the great underrated directors, you're talking about airspace, Joe Dante. Yeah.
That's a great movies. Oh my gosh. She's so good. When I finally got old enough to like
because this is at the time where I couldn't just wait for it to come out on, you know,
download or something like that. Of course. You waited until it came out on the VHS and then I'm
a little kid at the time. So I can't just grab this movie any time I want. No, no, no. So it
wasn't till years later that it finally showed up on like HBO and I watched it like insanely like
50 times at a row or something like that. I got I got it. I don't know if this is my number one
choice, but I have to say because of the the night itself and the way that the events went cold
mountain. I forget when it came out some years back, at least 10, 15 years ago, Jude Law, Nicole
Kidman, Renee Zellweger, it's setting like Appalachian times in like in that era. Oh, now I remember.
Yeah. And you got like two English actors as the leads in this and stuff. It all takes place
in the water. Yeah. And it was I don't think it was a very good movie. I don't I don't remember
it being, but I do remember that part of the problem was and I learned this from this date and
Becky, I think her name was. I actually credit Becky because she was the one of the first ones
to help me learn. Nobody wants to hear me talk about random facts when I'm watching a movie.
See what the director should have done. What they were trying to do right here. It was use a
crane shot and where are you going? Why are you leaving? Why? You're okay. Bye. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. I learned that one real quick. Yeah. Nobody wants to hear me. Actually, Jude Laws
and English actor, what he did to trade for this role, like the movies playing shut up.
Oh, yeah. I'm not I'm not a Gary Dator. I'm not great at the day. You know, the the whole
dating thing, you know, not my thing. It's right. You know what, though, I most people are bad at it.
Yeah. I think most people are really terrible at it. So winters in the Midwest have seeming
milder this in recent years and they're but they're still terrible if you ask a lot of people
that are not happy about winters. A new poll asked people for their favorite season and where they
where they live and the most popular answer in the Northeast Midwest and West was summer.
Spring was number one in the South and it was a close second to summer out West. Okay. Winter
was the least favorite season for everyone everywhere, especially in the Midwest.
Haha. Only 8% of Midwesterners said that the Midwestern winters are their favorite.
Wow. Even with the possibility of a white Christmas, when asked about that, they still answered
the same win. Now, I think, you know, no, we have a resident winter lover in Terry Johns.
Yes. And I would I'm fascinated on her opinion of of this is winter her favorite season. I know
she likes snow, but I know there's also things about winter. She doesn't like so that I'm curious
about that. I don't know. I'd like to hear her take on that one. Yeah. Yeah. Now, I think
calling you out. She's got to join us here. She's got a couple that's all she does. Yeah.
So I'm I'm curious, like for you guys out there, seven one five four two four twenty six hundred.
What's your favorite season and why? What is it about it? I personally like a lot of people out
there. I love autumn. I like fall. I love the transition. I love the changing. I love how all
of this happens. How integral it is to our planet. And we just treat it like it's it's an
everyday thing. We just keep rolling. And I don't know. There's something about it. I really enjoy.
I like all the seat. Well, the all the other seasons. Let's maybe put it that way. I like spring.
Summer is probably my favorite, but I like you also enjoy autumn, except for what comes after.
That's the only thing I don't like about autumn is that it's telling us that oh, guess what's
coming next. But other than that, no, I like the other seasons a lot more than I like. The
adventures of Pluto Nash. It's oh boy. That was a bad one. That was right. You went to that one.
Yeah. Oh, wow. And he's admitting it. Nice. Yeah. I was in that one did so bad in the box office.
It was like me and 20 other people. It's still one of the biggest box office like bombs.
Yeah. And it's so weird to say because I love Eddie Murphy. He's one of my all-time favorites.
I love Eddie Murphy. Huge fan. I went into the reason I went to go see that movie. Oh,
Eddie Murphy doing a sci-fi movie. Cool. Let's go and see what could go wrong. Everything.
Absolutely everything. Oh, man, I don't care how talented you are. You have somewhere
the biggest star ever. You got some flaws in your resume. And that's fine. Nothing wrong with that.
I've actually studied this. I've actually looked into this with one of the classes I took at UCLA was
we take two actors, an older actor and a modern actor and study their careers. And I did it with
Dennis Hopper and Kiana Reeves and a couple of other actors. But those were the two that I mainly
focused on for my my report. And I just thought that their acting choices were very interesting
in the two actors that don't really let their agents choose their work. They tend to choose their
own work. And even those guys and not just them, but like Kerry Grant and Humphrey Bogart,
like even the legends have have misses. Absolutely. Everybody's got them on their own. Every single one.
Every single one. It's interesting. It's interesting to see because we don't always remember those,
you know, and I think it's also noteworthy. Like it just in life, like everybody has failures in life.
Absolutely. Everybody has, you know, things that where they don't work out like you think.
Even if it looks like someone's, you know, this top of the world perfect, all these guys,
no, no, they're not that good. Chances are, chances are they have to go nash in their history,
they do something like that. Take a break. We'll come back and have some more fun in the
morning show at WFHR. There we go. Got to change it up a little bit here. And people think they
coming into the last segment of everything. Confusing. Seth and James here with you. A little
prince to play us in. We got some good stuff to take you to the top of the hour. Nothing but
good fun entertainment. And it is a, it is national Irish coffee day. All right. Irish coffee
day. Everybody enjoy a new poll found 35% of American adults occasionally like a little booze in
their coffee. Little booze a little bit. I don't know who calls it booze anymore. I don't even
know who says that. People in Wisconsin. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. That's true. Watch the giant
spider invasion. Everybody. Nice. Nicely done. Hit the booze again. 25% of us like espresso
martinis now too. They got trendy the last couple of years. 25% is almost twice as many people as
when the same question was asked two years ago. Interesting. I've never heard of that.
Me neither. And it sounds horrible. I just love. No, I'm not interested. You know, I don't even
drink anymore. And it's like I love. Yeah. Yeah. The poll also asked about normal nine
alcoholic coffee. Here are a few stats on America's love affair with these that sweet sweet go to
juice. I call it mana. Mana. It is, it is, it is, uh, it is how my character keeps awake and
stays alive. That's right. 73% of Americans drink coffee every day. The most common answer was
a one or two cups, but almost half of us drink more than that, including four percent who said
that at least six cups a day, right? Whoa. That's too much. That's a lot. If I drink that much,
man, I'd be vibrating. This isn't in the article, but I'm curious to know. And I again,
our audience participation, you can go ahead and use the morning show play and home version.
Then we got everybody. All right. Listeners go ahead and use that. When you make your coffee,
do you do what my sister does where she like it doesn't matter. She's making four cups or
ten cups. She fills the whole thing, man. She fills the whole thing with coffee. Yeah. And I actually
thought like, wait a minute, Jillian, maybe Jillian doesn't know how to make coffee. And I asked her,
Jillian is a mother of two. And that's quite the backbone. Um, yeah, I took a lashing for that one.
What do you mean? I don't know. Make coffee. Yeah. I was like, Jillian, it feels like you're wasting
coffee. Like there's so much in there. She just likes it really strong. They like it.
Her and her husband. Wow. It's strong. There you go. Do you do that? Or do you just put like
what you need in there? Like because that's what I do. I don't. No, we're on coffee. I mean,
that's stronger coffee. You know, no, I mean, I don't mind strong coffee, but it's not,
it, you know, if you go east, okay, out east, the coffee is much stronger. They make it much stronger
out there. Then they do it generally in the Midwest. But, um, but yeah, so I can handle that,
but I don't want to drink it all the time. I don't. Just like a medium somewhere in between
is good for me. Every once in a while, yes, especially on the weekends, I'll have some strong coffee.
But otherwise, no, no, I like it just average. I don't usually like it. Um, I, my coffee shouldn't
be able to like wake up before me. Yeah. Like it's speaking to me or it's taught. All right,
just look at it. I'm already awake. It's already done. It's job just from looking at it. Like
next next time you go to your sisters and she offers you a cup of coffee to say yes,
but make it a small slice. Definitely doing that. I might just texture that.
51% of us will hit a coffee shop this week. Our favorite spot is Starbucks, follow closely by
Duncan. I mean, around here, we're big fans of from the ground up. Yes, that's it from the ground
up. We are indeed. We say good morning to them. That'll make more sense next week.
Shameless plug. Yeah, Shameless plug. 89% also make coffee at home at least once a week. 66%
said daily. So yeah, yeah, I was like, that makes sense. I think more people make sense to make it
because it's well so much cheaper for getting a coffee out every day is kind of expensive.
It can get expensive. Yeah. I admire the people that treat themselves a couple of times a week
and get a coffee. I think that's a good thing in life. Go ahead and do that. I do it every once in
a while too. I may do it more if I had more time. I just don't have the time in the morning.
My coffee is made before I wake up and that's the only way I know how to do because there's been
plenty of times where the thing didn't work. The machine didn't kick on or something and I'm just
running without coffee because I just don't have the time to stop. Usually or anything like that.
Otherwise, I would stop much more often. Get that coffee. I love a good mocha coffee.
I love a good mocha. And if I can have a mocha every morning before I start, but this would be
a, oh, it'd be even a better show, I think. I think it'd be a better show. He's England for
people to bring a mocha. Yeah. But I will say a big shout out to not only Duncan and Starbucks and
in Caribou that we have here in town. We think of how popular those are. Yeah, those are our
brand companies, but they are run by locals. Yeah, they're local. They're not operating yet. But also
all of our from the ground up and from the out of the box cravings, cravings, so many great coffee
shots. I mean, I thought that rabbits had quite a few coffee shops and he'd go up the point and
you just can't, you can't turn around and there's not another coffee shop. Well, first of all,
a college town, which means there are going to be a lot of coffee shops, but you're right. No,
there's tons. I mean, and that's it, you know, because it points a little bit bigger than
Rapids, but I wonder what their coffee shop to person ratio per capita thing. Yeah, that'd be
interesting. That's pretty above the head of season. Figure that out. But I bring this up because
not only do we show our love of coffee around in the central Wisconsin, I think it was
constant in general, because Madison is also like this. Milwaukee, you know, a lot of the places
up north, Appleton, Ashkosh, some of those spots are very similar to what we're saying here.
Absolutely. But it's also a nice opportunity to support local. That's right.
Go out, get a coffee and support a local business. Now there's a there's a weird verbal thing with
coffee that you've just demonstrated for us that have always been curious about. So you make coffee
at home in a pot and you say, I'm going to have some coffee. Yeah, but you go out to a coffee place,
I'm going to get a coffee. Yeah, yeah, you're right. Yeah, yeah. Is that is it just because like,
you're like, I'm pouring some coffee into my cup and I'm actually getting a separate, you know,
a thing. Is that why we say that? I guess I've always been curious about that. I wonder if it's
because with at home, we know we're going to have some more. Maybe that's it. I don't know. I don't
remember that. The energy boost isn't the top reason we drink it. 83% like the way it tastes,
67% need the caffeine, 43% say it makes them more productive in 28% 29% like the health benefits.
83% like the taste. Of course, we don't know how they, you know, make their coffee if they put
cream or sugar or both or neither or whatever. So I guess, however, they're just saying, however,
I make it. I like the taste of it, which makes sense. I do love the taste of coffee. And one of my
favorite things is to open up a new thing of coffee and just smell smell. Oh, I love that smell.
It's one of my top favorite. Especially if it's like a flavored coffee with the nice, you know,
hints of other things in there. It's so good. Who cares about drinking? I'm just going to smell it.
I want a candle. It's just that not not coffee smelling candle. I want a candle that's when
you open the the fresh bag of coffee smell. Yeah, get on that candle makers. Come on. Only 18% of us
take our coffee black now down 56% from two years ago. What? Wow. Whoa. That's crazy. 18% of people
take it black. Wow. Really easy to me. Amazing. That is weird. That is strange. Maybe it hasn't gone
down the amount of people that drink black coffee. It's just more people are drinking coffee and
could be it's kind of skewed the numbers. But they're only drinking go. Beth is a great example
of that. She never drank coffee until someone introduced her to lattes. And then she became a very
avid coffee drinker. So that might be some of that going on. 29% of us drink decaf at least
sometimes around one of five of those people switched to decaf late in the day. Terry does that,
I believe. I don't want to speak for her, but I believe Terry does that. Maybe she does it in the
morning. Maybe I'm mixing it up. She just drinks decaf, I think. The only time I do that is if
like I'm out at a place that offers, you know, would you like some coffee after dinner, you know,
with your dessert or something like that? Because usually the coffee they have is really good.
Even if it's decaf, because I'm not going to drink caffeinated coffee that late. But if it's usually
at places like that, it's even the decaf is really tasty. I really love a good like a good coffee
at night. Like I don't do it all the time. Right, right. But at night, like in with you, it does,
you know, it doesn't have to be caffeine or sugar or anything like that. Just good stuff.
And do you absolutely despise coffee? You're one of a very few select few who'd say that. Only two
percent of us say that they hate coffee. Only two percent. Wow. 87% describe themselves as at
least somewhat coffee obsessed. This speaks again to the numbers there. Can you be somewhat
obsessed? That's a contradiction in terms. It does seem to kind of make it a little, it does seem
difficult. If you're obsessed, you're obsessed. Go on now. It feels like you're really splitting
the atom there. Oh, good one. It's splitting hairs like to very thin. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know
about that one. I know that we got great stuff lined up for you in the 9 o'clock hour. We're
going to kick it off of their great friend Madison Raffer, executive director of the South
O'County main society with our pet of the week. Looking forward to that. Afterwards, Seth and I
going to get into a bit of entertainment news for all with you. We've got some fun things to dive
into entertainment wise, including some big, big news for late night TV. I want to dive into that.
Looking forward to it. And we'll touch on some other stuff like why there is only two escalators
in Wyoming. And why we're talking about it. Inquiring my needs to know. Yep. Yep. That's actually
going to take us around the world. Around the world. Those two escalators in Wyoming is going to
take us around the world. Around the world. Be listening for that coming up right here out of the
board. Oh, keep going. Yeah. At the morning show here at WFHR, locally grown radio.
