Good morning, Wisconsin. Good morning, world. It's a new day. Thanks for kicking it off

I am joined by our head of news, but listen, hey, good morning. You made it, Belle. She made
it. You are I skitted in you. This is how I want to enter my death. Like sliding in
at the last minute. My hair is a mess. My coffee is practically tap gone. Tom Cruise and
Risky Business. Belle just slides it. Just slides it. I like it. Well, we're not going to
talk about my underwear. But yeah, yeah, I love what you're thinking. It's great. We
appreciate you so much. Yes, Melissa. It's working hard this week. I'm funny. We appreciate
it. Got our head of production set. Have anger to my right. Good morning, everyone. I am
well rested and nice. I am just so perfect. Just shut up. That's not entirely true. I
have been taking two care of two boys this week. So that can be a little bit much. You both
have been putting in a lot of extra work this week. I appreciate both of you watching
been doing it. We have got a lot of work to do today. We're going to make sure the true
week and is set and ready to roll everybody. We got a lot of great local things going on.
The arts are popping. The sports is popping in this area. We want to get to all of that
for you. We got a lot of local good stories that the day we're going to cover throughout
the day. Also get into our LKFA birthday anniversary club. Little after our news break, we're
going to make you a star the day with our friends from callers. The three of us are going
to play a famous TV theme song. You call up and get the answer right and boom, just like
that. You win a family pack of four from our Wisconsin rapids callers. That is two kids
meals, two adults meals. That's free callers. That is good stuff. Get any better than that.
No way. That's all coming up for you. Also going to get into this. Authorities had to
destroy a bathtub because of because of a guy that was because of something he was
doing. And it sounds like a breaking bad episode. I had to read it like three times to make
sure it was something we can do on the air. We're going to talk about that. We change
our clocks on Sunday. We have four more things you should do this weekend to go along
with that. Good. Good stuff. That's coming up. We're hoping to be joined by Mike Clemens
to kick off the nine o'clock hour. Talk a little sports. He was at the combine last week
and some of that got brewers in action. And also going to touch on some entertainment
news. We've got the Roseanne houses for sale. I want to touch on that. Oh wow. Jake
Paul is an idiot. I'm sorry. I say that part out loud. I didn't. Oh, sorry. Well,
I know what you're talking about. It doesn't take a lot of digging in the Jake Paul's life
to realize what a piece of scum he is. Yeah. We'll talk about that a little bit later
too. And we got some local great things to cover. Our Wisconsin rapids River Kings are
starting the second round of the playoffs tonight. Puck drops at seven at the South
of County Rex Center. Yes. Let's show him what home ice advantage. Yeah. Help the
Kings build hockey up and down to River. Get your tickets at River Kings hockey.com. Playoffs
baby. Yeah. And our our some of me to me playoff action on this theater stage is going
on this weekend as well. It was Council Ravis Community Theater because you guys got
a couple of more shows to be able to live. Yeah. To leave it all out on the stage. Yeah.
Our favorite actors are going to be back at it tonight. Be sure to join them at seven
o'clock for a great another great run of the Glass Manager. You got to show tonight
two shows tomorrow. We'll talk about that a little bit more later too. Yeah. All that
coming up. Let's do that. Our playoffs. That's it. We're the finals. We're in the finals
now. We started. That's why I feel so exhausted. Exactly. That is exactly why Melissa. Yes.
Oh good. I was wondering. Only that. There's nothing else. We've got a couple of things to
touch on to get before we go to break. I want to get to this one first because well there's
a handful of things we cover around here. Dolly Parton get us real records and of course
state and local news and those things. We really expected to push back. We cover
it. Sorry. Penguin news here. Penguin. We do. Too busy trying to mainline coffee right
now. I don't blame you. You do what you got to do. A New Jersey aquarium is asking for
the public's help choosing a name for a newly hatched blue penguin. Oh how many names
have you submitted James? Twenty. The third member of its species to hatch at the facility
in the past few months. So congratulations on that. That's very good. Very good.
Penguin. Adventure aquarium in Camden said the chick hatched just before Valentine's day
and the facility's veterinarians have now determined the baby is female. Okay.
The aquarium is asking members of the public to vote on its website for one of four potential names.
Okay. Love. Lovey. Rose. Valentina and Venus. Okay. Oh yeah. I get that. I get that.
Okay. Two chicks hatched shortly before the latest arrival were recently named
Bananas Foster and Kiwi. Oh. That is foster. I don't know why but I love those names. What do you
call it for short Nana? Yes. Yes. Baby Nana. So I did do this. I voted Rose. I like Rose.
Oh okay. I thought that was a great name. She looks like a rose to me. But I think all of them
are great names. You can't go wrong with all of them. I would choose Venus. You know like Venus.
That's good. As soon as you said Valentine's Day I was like Val and they said Valentina.
So I think I'd have to go with that one. I think that's a good one. Yeah. That's too corny.
I did say- Have you met me, Melissa? No.
Hopefully. I did suggest them the name Robin but that was just because of Rob Williams and him
starring in Happy Feet years back and it was a deep cut. That was a deep cut. I don't think they
even knew what I was talking about. But it's not a Robin. It's a penguin. It's a penguin.
It doesn't make sense. Well it's also not a rose. Yeah. He's not far-fetched in that one.
It's a cute penguin. I'll tell you that. You can find out the whole article if you'd like
at UPI.com. UPI.com. I look forward to- We'll do a follow-up on that word. We'll see what name-
Find out what the name is. Yeah. But we want to know. A name of any other name is just the same.
No. Rose by any other name is just the same. Rose names. You know, let's get into names a little
bit here because today as we get into our National Day of Calendar on the Sunrise show,
today is National Middle Name Pride Day. Oh. Middle Name. Okay. Been a theme this week of taking
pride in their names and that. There's been a lot of that this week. I thought we'd have some fun
with this one. We all have one. Yeah. The majority of us certainly do. If you ever met somebody
without a middle name though, that's always interesting. That's fascinating. Yeah. And you do
that everybody does the same thing. Everybody does the same thing. Yeah, you do. You don't believe it.
Like it could be your father telling you this and you're like, you don't believe it right now.
What did you misplace it? I know you had it. You lost it somewhere. I mean, come on. I don't know
why that's our first reaction, but it is all of our first reaction to that. No, and it's cultural
here. There's other places where people don't have middle names. Yeah, it's true. You're very,
it's very true. So let's have some fun with this one and to the greatest audience in radio,
you guys have the morning show play at home version. We want you to call up and join the
conversation. Give us your middle name. Maybe how you got it. Do you like it? All of the above.
I go by James J. Meila. And so mine's pretty, mine stands out for a reason. My middle name is
John after my grandfather who had four daughters and they wanted his name to be passed on.
And John Lennon, because my father is insane. Say Beatles fan. Yeah. He wanted it to be Lennon.
He wanted my middle name to be Lennon. I'm guessing your mom put her foot down on the
phone. Yeah. Well, she immediately was like, well, there's there's other famous Lennons.
Might might be a little dicey for the kid. Yeah, Vladimir. Yeah. But they're, but for me,
part of the reason I put both my names in my whenever I sign my name to anything, even just James
J is to take pride in the two, you know, the two names that put me here. I take a lot of,
both my names come from my great grandfather's basically my grandfather's, I should say.
And I take a lot of pride in that. Although I have one of the most boring names ever.
James John. And yes, I know Jimmy John. I know. Yes, I know. Make good sandwiches.
I do not have a copy right with them. And the, you, let me tell me, I love this audience. You
guys can get away with anything with me. You've already done it. I've taken a lot of heat from
you guys over the years at bed. I love every word of you for it. Not a dang one of you
are calling me Jimmy. Not a, not, no, let's useth. They can get away with it. Pam can get away with it.
Chuck can get away with it. But I'm sorry. We got to know it. We got to know each other for a while
here. We, that's the name I don't go by. My sister, she can call me it otherwise. No, no.
If you want to, if you want to be able to call him, Jimmy, I'll tell you how. Bring him a bacon
double cheeseburger. That might do it. Actually, that might do it. Yeah. Yeah. I'd rather call
him night writer. And I shut her from that one. Well done. How about you guys? You want to share
your last middle names? And maybe they need the history of the movie thing? Seth, how about you?
I have, my middle name is Anders. And my parents decided to do that because of my mom's
maternal grandparents. Their last name was Anderson. So they just, they decided to just shorten it
to Anders later on when my, my mom has done a lot of genealogy and she's gone back to the old
country, Scandinavia, Sweden and Norway and stuff like that. We have found a just a massive
Anders in the family, like it was a generational thing. Like every generation had an Anders in it.
And she didn't know that before. We did not know that before. That's really cool. And of course,
that is also my son's name. My youngest is name is Anders. So, so we're kind of keeping it alive
without knowing this kind of stuff. So I actually like Anders better than my first name. I'm more
Anders than Seth. And there's times when I wish my family would have called me by my middle name instead.
But, you know, I like it. I do like that. That's awesome history. That is very unique, very cool.
It's Melissa, how about you? My middle name is Elizabeth. And that is after my grandmother on my
dad's side. All of us children, the first four born in the family, what I should say, of my mom
and dad, because my last brother is a different father. But the first four of us all have middle
names after our grandparents. So each one of us has a middle name after our grandparents. And
that's how the tradition was, I don't know if that's tradition, but it's honoring our grandparents.
That is beautiful, Melissa. Thank you for sharing that. I love the name Elizabeth too. It's great.
I'm really glad that I got my grandma Jean's middle name. It is actually her middle name.
So it's also my middle name, but she is my theater muse. Oh, that's awesome. That's awesome.
She was very much into theater. And I'm very saddened that she couldn't see this performance
of the glass. I would love to hear her reaction to it, because this is a challenging character
that she would have loved to play too. She's got one of the best seats in the house, I bet.
Watch it. I'm sure she is. That's really beautiful, Melissa. Thank you for sharing that.
Do you guys notice that all of our mental names come from like relatives or honoring a past
relative or something like that? I never thought about that tradition, but it does seem like
that's more of a thing than I think that I realized at least. It makes sense, but I just never
really thought much about it. That's really cool. I know a lot of like more upper-class families
back in the day would use the mother's maiden name as the middle name. So like famous example,
John F. Kennedy, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, his mom's maiden name was Fitzgerald. You see that a lot
back in the day. Not so much anymore, but that's a tradition I would love to have seen kept going.
Yeah, that's kind of cool actually. It might have been nice and my mother might not have had
20 hyphens in her name. Pamela Jean Stern, may love the third. Yeah, we're all ready to go.
Well in some ways that you know is coming back as you know like women aren't changing
their last name and then the children's names are being hyphenated. I have a friend that has
done that. Well that's true. Her last name is his middle name. And then he has his father's
last name. Oh, very true. Very cool. As a side note, do you guys think that we freaked out
anybody out there by using our full names? And usually that only happens when our parents are
mad at us. Yes, James job. Oh, Jesus, but yes, anything. I'll do anything, please. Just hear
that combination. It's like, what? What? My mom and dad didn't have what me like the tone
and the voice they use that got my experience. Oh, yeah. Yeah, my mom was the same way.
You got a dad as a boxer. The word makes you up really quick. Yeah. Just the threat.
We want your middle names, everybody sharing with a 715-424-2600-424-2600 cheer your middle names
with us in the history of them. We'd love to celebrate you and your names and your history of
your names and all that and our audience. I do want to warn the audience though. From this point
on, we're pretty much given stuff away in almost every break. Yeah, we have so much stuff. We've got

We dive into our celebrity list. Time will go through the whole weekend here.
For today, happy time, 45th birthday to Tom Chaplin, lead singer and songwriter for Keen.
Some are only we know, I think, as their big hit. Yeah. That's vaguely for me.
That's a song that I get you. I'm sorry. Well, I don't know if that's that's cool
me to say or not, but that's one of those songs. You're all right.
You know, if you're in the right, if it catches you in the right mood, it'll hit it'll hit you.
It's a guy. I don't know much else by them, though.
But hey, let's see. James Vanderbeek is 47, Dawson from Dawson's Creek.
Wow. He's 47.
Yeah.
Freddie Prince Jr. is 48. Oh gosh.
I know. It's 90's guys and they're all age. What the heck, man?
I really, I think that it's impressive to have seen what Freddie Prince Jr. did with his
career in the fact that he even wanted to act and perform with his father and the history
there and everything. It's obviously the son of Freddie Prince. And if you know anything about
the history of that great actor, great standard comedian, it would be understandable if he wanted
nothing to do with acting and Hollywood and all that stuff and everything. I think it's kind
of cool that he went into it, had a good run, you know, whether he never acts again or not.
I mean, he seems good. Yeah, exactly. Sarah Michelle Geller still working. So I mean,
you know, they've definitely got a paycheck coming into the house. Right.
And he seems good with it in life. So I mean, yeah, more power to him.
Good. Absolutely. Oh, let's see here. Cameron Myham. Mayhem.
Mayhem is 63. Great, great, great character actors. Eleanor in the practice. I think that's
where most people remember her from. Yeah, Della on Ghost Whisperer. She was in persons of interest.
And she was also, she came in second place on the 27th season of Dancing with the Stars.
I didn't know that. Oh, very cool for her. Yeah, good act really. What a career man. Yeah,
wouldn't I want to career like that? Eight in Quinn is 65. Captain Gregson on elementary.
Did a good job on that from what I heard. You know, he was like back in the in the 80s.
He was like the next big thing. And it just never quite worked out like the next big superstar.
I mean, he's had a great career. He was here. We have right. But he was supposed to be the next
big thing and never happens. Legends of the fall was kind of like the last like chant, like
they do that. Okay, he if he doesn't do it with this and in Brad Pitt, it ended up being the big
thing out of that. Exactly. Here in my car. I'm going to run, run, run, run, run. Gary knew
the six. I don't know the lyrics. So that's what you don't know. I did before I do. I feel
safest of all. And that says all I know. Yeah, here in my car, I feel safest of all that.
So that's about it. Car. No, the course though. Yes, yes, definitely no, the course.
Little peggy. Do all impersonations that way.
For some reason, you're also dancing like David Burns in my head. Oh, it was moving a little
bit. I was moving a little bit. I would love I would give anything to be able to just even for a
moment, try on one of those big suits that the talking heads had. I'd love to do it. David
Burns was like, yeah, I'd love that. Little peggy March is 76 today had a massive number one
hit. Well, I will follow him when she was only 14. Wow. Wow. Another artist that got their
start young Mickey Dones of the monkeys is 79 today. Drummer and singer songwriter too. I'm a
believer pleasant Valley Sunday last train to Clarksville here. The monkey's theme song. We'll get
stuck in your head about now. Yeah, child actor before that. Yeah, yeah, you get started on Hollywood
really. Good actor too. Some awesome hats. Yes. Yes, Mike Nesmith and him. I think we're really the
more all-around talented ones. Although I know that the star kind of went towards David Jones.
David Jones. In Understandable, I get that and everything. But I always thought that those two
were the ones that really seem to have not only like a songwriting and musical talent,
but acting talent as well. Mike Nesmith was by far the most talented musician of the group by far.
Really, and it's kind of cool to see guys like him get their do a little bit now later in life
and stuff. I think that about Ray Maserick with the doors. I always think of him. He's one of those
artists that I think of like I know Jim Morrison is Jim Morrison and great songwriter and all that.
You're never going to hear of Jim Morrison without Ray Maserick. I believe no matter how great
Jim Morrison was or anything. You needed the key. You needed there. That's what made the doors.
That those keys, some of the lyrics that he wrote. Yeah. And there's keyboard playing.
His face playing because he did both. Oh, that's right. That's incredible. Let's see here.
Suzanne Clark is 81. Emmanuel Louis's mom on Webster. Oh. Oh, man. And that's going to,
oh, oh, and people don't look at us. Alan Hale, Jr., the skipper, and Gilligan's Island.
Oh, man. He was in some great B movies in the 50s, though. He always played like a cop.
He was like the sheriff, you know, and but he doesn't get him up right. I was a little confused
when I watched Gilligan's Island and then I saw him on other things. I'm like, how can he be a cop
and a skipper? I'm so confused. I mean, I was like eight. Right. Exactly. Yeah. That's interesting.
I like that. Well, thanks for mentioning that. Let's take a quick look at Saturday,
birthdays. Let's see here. Matthew Gray-Goobler is 44. Dr. Spencer Reed on Criminal Minds. He's
the voice of Simon and Elvin in the Chipmunks movies. Oh, really, really good actor.
Wow. Cool. Very good. He got it. One of the, he, there's a lot of great parts of criminal
minds. He's pretty much stole the show. He's a great actor. Did a great job on that show.
The great Oscar Isaac is 45, one of the best actors in the game. Oh, yeah.
Marvel's Moon Knight Poe in the Star Wars movies. X Machia. A lot of great movies. A lot of great
performances. And I feel like Oscar Isaac's one of those actors. He's only getting better.
Like he's only working even more and more at the craft and getting better and better out of.
If you check out some, I don't know if they have any videos up. It's a great picture of him and
Pedro Pascal together. Yes. They're like, they're like the Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds thing going on.
It's really good. Yeah. It's very good. Good. Check that out.
Emanuel Lewis is 53 today. Oh, right. Tomorrow. Webster himself.
Wow. Now that actually seems young for how long he's sitting. Yeah. Wow.
Brian Bosworth is 59. Geez. It's rough. That's a rough one. Let's see here.
He was a former football player that got that had a lot of hype behind him. A lot of hype.
And and didn't really last in the league very long. His career ended when Bo Jackson ran him over.
Yeah. I mean, and he had it hurt. I mean, to be fair, he'd get injured. And that's pretty much why
he wasn't able to. But yeah, he never panned out. And then he did some some really bad movies.
Yeah. Some really bad movies. He'd play the thug. Yeah. Yeah. He was he kind of and he kind of
leaned into that whole thing too. Okay. A couple more birthdays for us on Saturday or the great
Raul Julia would have been celebrating his birthday born in 1940. Gomez Adams for in the Adams
family. So many other great one of the great actors of our generation of that generation. I
shouldn't say. And underused. Yes. Absolutely. We were talking about the one of the good actors
from Gilligan's Island earlier. And one of the things that used to happen a lot in Hollywood
was typecasting. And and with that, a lot of it also became a lot of casting directors.
Yeah. The same amount of casting directors doing and making a lot of these calls. So for them,
I see Raul Julia. And for a lot of these people, all they saw were a Latino. And okay,
so I'm only going to think of Raul Julia for Latino roles. Nowadays, that's completely different.
But that is part of the reason why we don't have more of a body of work of Raul Julia. Yes.
It's not because of his talent. It's not because of his skill because you can't watch Raul Julia
and not realize, oh my god, this is this man is a natural. He's born to do this. You didn't see him
more because he wasn't used more. Thankfully, we have got where we're getting better about that now.
And it's not because of Hollywood. That's because of more opportunities and more and more
companies having the ability to make movies, make TV shows. And there's and there's just so much
stuff. There's so many roles out there and everything. Cannot figure out how I haven't got a break.
Yeah, man, there's a billion roles. And Bobby Fisher would have been celebrated birthday on Saturday,
born in 1943, passed away in 2008, chess prodigy. He became the world champion at age 18. Yeah,
he was 18. Wow. And a great movie too, searching for Bobby Fisher, Ben Kingsley, Lawrence
Fishburn, really good movie. Right. Right. And we are going to get into one more Sunday. Let's
cover Sunday's birthdays real quick. Let's see. Carry on to where it is 41 on Sunday. Wow. Yeah.
Do you know how he said that? I do know how he said that. That was hilarious. But happy birthday to
our state. Great singer songwriter. Yep. Wonderful. Danny Pudi is 45, Abed on community. He's in the
last airbender. The movie, the TV shows, the series, yeah, everything. Great, great actor.
Cool. I like him a lot. He's one of my favorite young actors out there, although I shouldn't
call him that he's 45. Well, he's technically younger than you. But, you know, it's kind of got a
baby face. Thank you. Yeah. He looks a lot younger. Yeah. John Hamm is 53 on Sunday, Don Draper and
Mad Men. He is a clown in each and our block commercials right now. He's interesting trajectory
after his show. He, like they say in here, he could have been the next Clooney. I disagree with
that. He already is. Like John Hamm is doing so many different things with his career. And he's
doing what he wants to with it, whereas opposed to where what they're saying here is what he was
supposed to do. Oh, I see. John, John, John, John Hamm is doing what he wants to do with his
work. Exactly. And he's having a hell of a fun time doing it. John Hamm is okay. John Hamm's
all right, you know, and he's got the, he's got the chops to do whatever he wants. Yeah, he can
literally do it all drama, acting, comedy. Got it. I love how he just pops up in things. Yeah,
you're like, whoa, wait, that's John Hamm. What's going on here? Hey, I love actors that it's not
about the paycheck or the name, their name being out there. It's, oh, I want to work with Daniel
Radcliffe in this little IFC show that nobody's going to see, but I'm going to do it when I'm at
the height of my career. What they're talking about here is him not doing more like big, big,
bug-chip film, all this stuff and being the next James Bond or something like that. Like,
John Hamm's career is going fine and he's doing it the way he wants to. Yeah. Well, and it's not
the same, I would say, as, you know, 20 years ago and what the expectation was because it wasn't
about the actors. It was about the producers and the movie makers. Now it's about the actors.
Yeah. Yeah. Excellent boy. It should be. Yeah. Yeah. Page and Brewster is 55 on Sunday.
Amazing actress. Lover. Lover work. So darn good. Good voice. Oh my gosh. Yeah. She's done,
she narrates a series of documentaries on Disney Plus about the Disney Parks and she does a great
job. She's so funny. Another actor. Yeah. She was great on criminal minds. Was able to do a lot of
the drama and everything on community. She was hilarious. She's also doing this thing right now because
I follow her on Twitter. She's just letting her hair go gray and she was kind of asking people,
you know, what they thought, I love it. God, it looks good. That's so awesome. I anybody out there
go gray. Yeah. Go ahead. Go white, everybody. Like, just go for it. Just do it. Maybe you'll
finally force this stupid casting people like it like regular people looking like regular people.
I mean, to anybody that still. Can we just change that, please? Yeah. Yeah. I know, I know what
that's sound bad. If you still die, you're here. You go for it. You do you. I know whatever you're
comfortable with. I just mean, if you don't want to, I was going to say you shouldn't have to.
Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's definitely becoming more, have you seen all of the young women trying
to bleach their hair gray, silver, like you said, and a thing. And it's actually really tough to do
and very difficult on your hair. So those of us who are naturally turning gray,
as I have discovered how much gray I have in this show, just letting it go. I love it. It's
going to go. It's not staying guys. Sorry. I might keep a stripe of it because I've been working
that in, but no, not. Okay. My mind. There is no salt and pepper. It's just snow. It's just,
it's just white. It just goes white. I also feel that that's the way to do it. Yeah. I'll go with it.
We're going to go into the break and get to our news here. We'll come back and have some fun. But
again, a happy birthday in anniversary to everybody celebrating out there. We wish you a great one.
Whole weekend. Yes. Not so much fun this weekend. Yeah. And thank you again so much to everybody
out there, getting us these birthdays and anniversaries and a special shout out to our friends
at El Calfego. Visit them right now. They're open at 2.21, a market avenue and beautiful
ported towards wishing them a great day from all of us right here at WFH.
Lights, camera, action. It is time to make somebody a star the day with our friends from
Calvars. What Melissa, Seth and I are about to do is play a famous TV theme song. You call up
as long as you have a one anything in 30 days, 424, 2600, 715, 424, 2600. You call up, you get the
answer right. Boom. Just like that. You win yourself a family pack of four from our Wisconsin
Rapids Calvars. That's two adult meals, two kids meals. That's free Calvars. Yeah. You can't
beat that. Yummy. You can't beat free Calvars. No. And I have free Calvars. I want free Calvars.
I just want Calvars. I'll pay for it. There you go. What are we doing here? Why are we getting
free Calvars? All right. I'll take care of the game. Yeah. Yeah. Come on. We'll take care of the
audience. Get rid of the call up, everybody. 715, 424, 2600, 424, 2600. Let us know what TV
theme song this is. Wow. That was fast. Yeah. I expected a quick one on this.
Let's go ahead and see if we have a winner. Good morning. What's your answer? I'm going to
take a yes up to Jefferson's. Yeah. Congratulations. Yes. You knew that one pretty quick, sir.
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. What you want to do is somebody doing it. Yeah. There you go. Did you
watch Jefferson grow? I guess. Yeah. That's a channel surfer. I guess. Nothing wrong with that.
Even back when there was only three channels. Yes, yes. Do the surfing. You know.
Okay. Can I get your first name, sir? Donald. It is, Donald. How are you, Donald?
Great. Good. Good. Yeah. Yeah. Here's hope. Yeah. We could. Yeah. We could definitely use it.
Yeah. Donald, thank you so much for listening, playing along, hanging along,
getting a little information from you. You're our newest star of the day. Thank you.
Thank you. Appreciate you. Best listeners in the radio. Appreciate you all. Yeah. The Jefferson's,
of course, spinning off of all in the family, which we did last week. We're going to keep doing the
whole spin-off thing, everybody. Oh. And again, a big shout out to our listeners out there
who have been sending me a bunch. Oh, really? Yeah. Cool. We've got some really fun ones coming up
and everything. I think we're going to have a lot of fun with including even some local,
a bit of a local touch to them, some of the ones coming up. Nice. The Jefferson's simply put
one of the greatest and longest running TV shows of all time. Really? Period. I don't think a lot
of people realize this. It lasted 11 seasons and total 253 episodes. Wow. I had no idea. Yeah.
It's one of the longest, it's the second longest running series with a primary African-American
cast by an episode count behind Tyler Perry in his house of pain. But I think it, to me,
sorry, nothing against Tyler Perry or anything, but it meant a lot more then. Exactly. Yeah.
Plus, it was on the big networks when that was the main thing, man. No, now it's not the same.
And an incredible cast. Wonderful cast. It wouldn't change one actor in that whole cast,
but Sherman Helmsley, man. Sherman Helmsley, all four foot three of a bad.
Something about that guy. He had some of the best timing, man. Really?
The best comic time I've done. He was something. That was a great show and we got a great listener.
The one, some free callers. Be listening next week for your opportunity to win more free callers
right here in this segment with our star of the day and a big shout out to our Wisconsin
rabbits, callers. Wherever you got a callers near you, you've got a callers that puts back
into their community. I put my name on that. We appreciate the team at callers and the
ownership of callers. Yes. Yeah. Good people. It makes me want to go ahead and get myself a
bacon double cheese burger. We'll come back and we'll have some more fun. On the
morning show at WFHR.
Welcome back everybody. Morning show here at WFHR. Locally grown radio. Melissa,
Seth and James here with you. We hope you're having a good one out there. Thanks so much for
joining us everybody. Good things going on as we take you right to the top of the hour.
Remember, we're going to hopefully be joined by our good friend Mike Clemens. Talk a little sports
with him to kick off the 9 o'clock hour. We'll get into some entertainment news. Let you know
what's new on your small screen, big screen and the local stages in our area. We'll be getting
into all that. Yes it is. A lot going on this week and I want to make sure that we spend our
entertainment section talking a lot about those and highlighting those and giving people the
opportunity to win tickets and where to get tickets and all of that. For now, we're talking
changing our clocks back on Sunday. Yeah, daylight savings time starts this weekend and here are
a few things you should do besides just changing the clocks, changing batteries and your smoke and
carbon monoxide detectors, things like that. One of the things that they try to, or not try,
one of the things I think that is actually work that has helped is the idea of, okay, combining
these with another routine that you already do. I already have to flip the clocks and all that
on that same day. I'm going to make sure to test my fire alarms and please, please, please everybody
check your fire alarms. I'm not even in this, I'm not even in this chair right now without that.
Yeah, right. That's right. Yeah. And the carbon monoxide detectors because that's even
yes, scarier in my opinion. Yes, it is because that's the silent color. Well, I know I don't have to
because I think every single fire detector's batteries have already died this last year.
So I've had to change it. You know, you get that beeping sound and you don't know where it's coming
from. Which one is it? Is it this one? Wait, did I have a fire detector there? I didn't even know that.
And I don't know if you've experienced this Melissa or not, but I know Seth and I have as tall people,
it's always our job to get the fire and those things don't just pop off. No, like I know they're
supposed to, but they never just pop off. It's just so the command is a twist or the thing with that.
I don't know if you do this, Seth, but I'm the kind of tall where I can touch most ceilings.
And so if it's like an intro to a way, I'm still trying to do it on my tiptoes,
even though I should just grab a chair and I always end up having to grab a chair.
So it takes longer to grab the chair. Maybe this time, maybe this time I can get
still not. So with daylight savings time going on this weekend, we change the clocks,
the clocks and lose an hour of sleep on Saturday night. But here are four other things you should
also do this weekend that may add to your weekend, like changing the batteries in your smoke alarm.
Or as Melissa mentioned, a common carbon monoxide. It's a really good note. It's a good idea
to change the batteries once a year, so doing it the same weekend as changing the clocks is an
easy way to stay on top of it. Yep. Good reminder. Yeah. Another thing you can check is your
furnace filter if you haven't done that. Oh gosh. Actually, that's a great idea. Thank you, Melissa.
I'm going to go do that right now. That's a good idea. Oh, you're still on the morning show, Seth.
I love the idea of you just got up and left. Just go check my furnace filter. Bye everyone. He really
meant it. He really re-stocked your emergency kit. If you already have an emergency kit at home,
go through it to make sure nothing is expired. If you don't have one, well, now might be a good
time to have one. Yeah. Yeah, we're into flood season here. Yeah. Yeah. Clean out your fridge,
pantry, and medicine cabinet. Toss anything that's expired or you're no longer using and use up
anything that's expiring soon. Good idea. Look at those condiments. Yeah. And do us have
condiments in our fridge from 2020. Yep. Yeah. That we're expired in 2020. Hey, honey, are we
eating this relish? We never bought relish. Oh, oh. I think I could throw the pickles out.
I think it's a special ferment. Flip your mattress. Flip your mattress. If you can. Yes. Yeah,
if you have the kind that flips. Yeah. Exactly. Some mattresses should be flipped once or twice a year
to avoid irregular wear. And it's easy to remember if you do it the same weekend, you change your
clocks. That's true. I flip my mattress like once every other month. I feel like I got it's just
a single. Yeah. It's just a basic mattress and everything. It's nothing special. But I feel like
the way it is much moving around is I do with the little bit I do sleep. There's like
indentations and stuff. I don't know what I do in my sleep. I really don't. Gymnastics, I think.
Something like that break dancing. I don't know what I'm doing. But I feel like I have to move
it around. And I notice a big difference when I do on my back, especially my lower back. I
notice quite a difference with that. That's a really good note. But I don't think that's when I
think about very often. Oh, man, my oldest is the same way. And I used to joke with them before
because I would look at the state of his bed while he's going to bed. And I'm like, what do you do?
And so I try to figure out a new thing that he did. So I was like, what do you do at night?
Juggle chain saws. Do you wrestle alligators? Oh, that's great. That's really good.
Yeah, you can find out more at goodhousekeeping.com, goodhousekeeping.com. I'm trying to think if
there's any outside the lines here, any other things to mention with this one. I think insect traps,
maybe looking around at those. That's not a bad one. It's funny that you mentioned that.
Oh, yeah. I've been fighting a moth invasion. Oh, no, whoa. Yeah, they're pantry moths. They're just
little ones. Kevin loved it. He is a moth hunter. But he's not here right now. So the moths are
to have this week. Seriously, guys, I kill like 10 of them on my seawing at a time. It's ridiculous.
Wow. The fear of leaving for vacation and coming back in my ceilings are just covered with moths.
Watch out for moth, man. Just like a horror movie. I like that a little bit when moths attack.
So I spent a day earlier this week like washing the walls and the ceilings and the floors
in my living room. That's as far as I've gotten. And I cleaned out my pantries because they
recommend that. And you're supposed to wash all the walls and ceilings and floors. Well,
I don't have time to do that. But my dad did bring me moth traps last night when he came to
see the show at Wisconsin Rept community theater. So I will be putting out moth traps. That's
cool. That's good of him for doing that. I've never dealt with moths really. Really? It's
interesting. I'm going to keep note of that, Melissa, because I've never dealt with them if I do.
I'm keeping note and I'm calling you. Be careful, man. They will cut you.
Moths, very good at the martial arts. Yes, very, very good. A little of those facts.
Very good to take one, though. Yes. Let's go to this one right here. I think this is a fun way
to wrap up the hour. And if you are going to dream, dream big, I mean, big don't let anybody tell
you you can't accomplish something. You're dream, you're, you're as big as your dreams and your
dreams are as big as you. You can accomplish anything. There, there is nothing impossible in life.
Look at what we've done as human beings. It's incredible. We have gone to the to the moon. It's,
now it's not even a big deal for us to go to the moon. We went to the moon again. Yeah, outer space
the depths of the ocean, the things we've created. I mean, it's amazing what we've done. And then
there's this guy. This week, a radio host in the UK was talking about the 200th anniversary of
the R N L I, the Royal Navy lifeboat institution. They're kind of like the Coast Guard. This week,
we also celebrated our own Coast Guard's birthday. We send a special shout out to the Coast Guard
and begin with all the great workers and them from the dawn of the Coast Guard to today to the
future. So this guy was trying to explain how dedicated they are and did so by telling a story
about a very strange man in his bathtub. Someone at the R N L I told him about a guy in southwest
England who kept trying to row a bathtub all the way to Scotland. Oh my. He always had his dog
with him that he always had his dog with him. They'd get about a half a mile out to see before
they'd start sinking, but he kept doing it. They were rescued once they were rescuing him once
a week and bringing him and his tub back to shore once a week. Side note, what the what man,
why'd you got to bring the dog? The dog didn't want this. That's the true that a right story.
They ultimately decided the only way to save this guy's life was destroying his bathtub.
Destroy that tub man. They smashed it in the middle of the night and he never even tried again.
So in the end, he lived, but his dream passed, you know, this dream died. Bath tub sabotage.
I want so badly the video footage. Oh my gosh. It sounds like a movie guy.
Like actual like official like royal navy lifeboat members. Like in uniform.
Right. Yeah. And then how did they break it without making noise?
Like that's I'm kind of curious about that. I'm not a little afraid of this group.
Yeah. Yeah. They're walking. They wow. That's impressive.
I didn't know they were also ninjas. Yeah.
Really impressive. That's very impressive.
There's so much to take for the story. There's so much. Again, the dog shouldn't have been out of the boat.
No. On the tub. Yeah. He's got me doing it now. Wow. You know, man.
That's that's a tough one. It's supposed to be three men in a tub.
Do they find out? Was he the baker? Yeah. Yeah. The candlestick. Candlestick maker.
Maybe it's distraught about not no one wanting candlesticks anymore.
Yeah. He definitely wasn't the skipper. He definitely wasn't the skipper.
This is now of all the things to like, okay, I'm making a boat myself and I'm going to use something
in my house or whatever. I get the idea of the bathtub.
Well, it's the right shape. Like for five seconds.
Like, but after that five seconds, it's kind of like, well, of course, this would never work.
It has a hole in it. Forgot. And it doesn't have a rudder. Yeah. I was wondering that too.
The best thing that my biggest takeaway from this whole thing is, okay, we're used to this stuff
in the United States. The thing that gets me is they all did this with a British accent.
Is that going out there on a tub? Is that a tub that he's on? I can't believe that.
We got to go stop him. We want to stop him over there. I don't think we should let him do this.
This is bloody dangerous while he's down. It's a dog with him. He's got a dog with him.
Bloody right. I love you're so right, man. Man, we have to destroy the tub.
Now, what going to do is be very quiet about this.
We all look like my two great fine guys together.
I love this story. This one stayed under that eight rights. This is going to their classic
that eight rights. It might be an end of the year review one, I think. At the end of the year,
we go over all of our that eight rights stories. This is going in there, man. That's a good one.
We got a good bunch of plays going on this weekend in our area. We want to highlight
as all of them as we can. And one of them I want to make sure to take a note on is the
Grace Luthan player's hotel pickle. And Tresinski is directing this one. And awesome.
The players are awesome. Great people over there. Wonderful actors. Check out this two
act play. It's a lot of fun. And it's an opportunity to help out the Grace Luthan players
continue to do the great work that they do in this community. Greatly appreciate people like that.
And you know, all of our local churches are like this. I don't want to say that they're the
only ones. All of our local churches are so hey, come on over. Yeah, but I'm this faith.
No, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. We're all comers. You know,
you want to show up? Come on by. You want to come and take a play. Come on by. That's not the
world that I grew up in. And I am so appreciative of that. A big shout out to all of our local
churches and all of our good people out there. And especially the hotel pickle cast and break a leg.
Have a great run. Yeah. Have fun. Grace players are performing the hotel pickle. They are doing
that tonight. The 9th and the 10th. So it'll be going on right until Sunday. But yeah,
weekend. They have a show tonight, 630 show tonight. And then Saturday of the dinner show at 6th.
Sunday, they will have a show at 1.30. Nice. It's going to be a lot of fun. Visit them at
Grace Luthan Church at 1531 Wittrock Avenue in Wisconsin Rapids. And if you would like to go,
well, Anne was nice enough to give me four tickets. Yeah, you want to go. You go ahead and give
us a call 715-424-2600-424-2600. Do you like pickles? Yes or no? That's all you've got to do.
Oh, you guys. There's no wrong answer here. Yep. No wrong answer. No wrong answer. You'll get
your one yourself. Four tickets to see who tell pickle from the Grace Luthan player. Grace
players. And shout out to them. Break a leg. Have fun. Everybody. Yeah. We'll be back with more
fun on the morning show right here at WFHR. Locally grown radio.
