Hour 1: Music, like a time machine…

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

with us right here at WFHR, locally grown radio. You know, four in the clock, got your

host James behind the mic. I am joined by our head of production, Mr. Seth Havagger.

Good morning. And all the best listeners and radio. Thanks for joining us, everybody.

We are going to kick things off with our good friend, Brittany Marlowe. We're talking

weather with our friend, Brittany again. Good morning, Brittany. How you been? Good morning.

And happy snow day, Wisconsin rap. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. For some. For some. Yeah. Yeah.

Some of us say still as though, yeah, it's a snow day. It's a snow day here in town for the kids.

That's exciting. And it's exciting to have you back with us, Brittany. Thanks so much for joining us.

What does Mother Nature got in store today? Yeah. Mother Nature blew me back in with these strong

winds. I'm excited to take a week off. Stay away. No, it didn't work out that way. Nope.

But my goodness, winds are still going to be feisty here this morning until about lunch.

Crests are still peaking at 40 to 50 miles per hour. And the strong winds that are over in the

Green Bay area last night are switching towards us. So keep in mind that this morning

it's going to get worse before I get to better with possible potential power outages,

which is why I think that Wisconsin rapid school is closed because we're looking

at these winds another one to three inches of snowfall still to go. So the winter storm

morning has been canceled, but a winter weather advisory remains an effect until

one o'clock. So everything after lunch will start to calm down.

Winds will still be strong at 30 miles an hour, but not as bad. And you know,

those power outages will be a problem later on tonight.

And the snow will start to turn to flurry. But still going to be coming down on

occasion, even throughout tomorrow, two accumulations will stop around this

lunch. All right. Good to know. Good to know. Very good.

Appreciate that. Brittany, it does look like it's going to get a little nicer this weekend.

I was going to say there's light at the end of the tunnel. Friday and Saturday,

beautiful, sunny days, high temperatures, a little bit more mild into the mid-40s

to low 50s for us this weekend. All right. Excellent. Brittany, thanks so much for

joining us. Looking forward to hanging out again tomorrow. You have a good one.

You too. Thank you. Safe travels out there. Thank you, Brittany.

Pressing a business. Good to have her back. You know, this is how we do winter from

now on. You know, three days of snow and then two days of melting and sun.

Actually, I could think I can handle that. I mean, there's worse. There's worse

things. We've handled worse winters. It's the way worse. I don't know if we've

had weirder winters than this. That's that's a more of a question to me.

I was thinking yesterday. I was trying to count how many times I've actually

shoveled this year and it's only been like a couple. Yeah. Yeah. That's realized

that's like, wow. Yesterday or this morning, I mean, was probably my third time

shoveling this year. Yeah. That sounds about right. It's hard to complain.

It is. I mean, we understand Wisconsin weather and it's usually pretty

weird. This is a little weird than usual, but I mean, that's kind of also, you

know, just the way in the world now, apparently, like everything's a little

weirder than it used to be, including our show. And that's saying something

folks really. It really is. We did not. We had the weirder at a 10.

We don't need it at 11. That's what we did. We will get into some

election coverage in a moment. We also got to get into a fun one.

You lend $10 to a friend who buys powerball tickets in his jackpot.

How much do they owe you? That should be a fun one coming up. I want to

get more more old question there. Yeah. Here, we're going to get into, we've

touched on this actually a lot over the years, especially you and I, Seth.

Okay. We're going to get into why you still love the music of your teens.

Oh, this is a good one. I love getting into this. It's fascinating.

Some new data out there about it and we're going to touch on that one for you.

Of course, we've got the LCAP birthday anniversary club looking forward to

diving into that. Some entertainment news saying goodbye to a second city

legend today. I want to do a little bit of that, a little count Floyd going to

show up for you everybody looking forward. If you get that reference, you're my

people, you're my people. That is coming up as well as getting into this one,

Seth, the 10 things that are overpriced but still totally worth it.

Oh, that's nice. I like hearing that every now and then.

Everything is overpriced, but hey, that's okay.

There's some things I get something or worth it. Yeah. We'll get into our

schedule a little bit later as well. I want to touch on all that.

But first off, I want a voice that works. No.

Anyone out there? Can you can you lend them one?

Talk to classes yesterday and back to back after the day we had on radio.

And it usually my throat gets me. I have until Thursday before it starts to

give it away. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm I hope it goes. I hope it's understood by the

audience. I'm trying to take care of my voice. This is me trying. This is me working.

Excuse it a lot. That's actually working. Yeah. But we're looking at a little bit of

connection results. And of course, you can hear the complete results from Melissa

and her news breaks. Otherwise, I encourage you to go to elections.woodcountywi.gov

elections.woodcountywi.gov shut up to Wood County and the great coverage that they've

did and a big, big shout out to Melissa and the work she did last night.

That's why she's not with us this morning to tail off and we appreciate that

from her. And thank you to Seth for pitch hitting today jumping in for her.

And I want to thank all the poll workers out there. Yeah.

I made the rounds yesterday when I was doing my due civic duty.

Right. But I believe my civic duty in voting and great people, great attitudes

all over the place. Hope everybody treated them good and they had a good experience

as well as the rest of us did. Yeah. Just a quick couple of looks at the

mayoral races is what I'll do here since those were some of the it's weird to say

bigger ones, but certainly more where there were some contestedness.

Yeah, they're wise. Yeah. The Nikusa mayoral, the mayor for Nikusa with

all the precincts reporting. Of course, Daniel J Carlson with 262 votes.

Ellen, okay, Marco with 187. And Pitzville, Dale, Nicholson was

uncontested. He won the game and the scene. Okay. And for Wisconsin Rapids mayor

Matt Zacher is a Matt Zacher is our new mayor. Okay.

2229 votes to Tom Terry Muse 650. Okay. So congratulations to Mr.

Zacher looking forward to speaking with him and Mayor Blazer.

I believe that the next time I was talking to Shane when he was in last,

I think the next time he joins us, it'll be his last time joining us.

A lot he'll join and Matt Zacher will join him with us. That's right.

So we'll have both mayors on it. Believe it the same time the next one we talked to them.

At least that's the way they were discussing it. I want to thank everybody

that ran regardless if you won or not. And thank you for so much for being

a good example. Those of you that were out there, a good example of what it is

to run for candidacy and to treat each other with respect.

Absolutely. Let's take a phone call. Good morning around the show.

Hi, it's Tom Deere from the Oxlatch and Wisconsin Rapids. How are you all doing today?

Doing good. Good. Good. Good. Good.

I just want to report that we're not going to have bingo tonight because of the weather.

Oh, all right. Thank you so much. Really nicely done.

Thank you for calling up and letting us know. I really appreciate that.

Yeah. You guys, we appreciate the Oxlatch too.

You guys take care over there safe travels.

Well, thank you. You guys have a great day.

You too. Thank you. So there will be no more no bingo.

No bingo tonight because school was closed. I think that's what they go with.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cooler than the let us know.

But that's a good reminder. I hadn't thought about that like that. Yeah.

Speaking of Aaron Wells, our good friend over at the aging and disability resource center of Central Wisconsin.

Let us know that senior dining and meals on wheels will be closed for today.

Keep that in mind. If you know somebody who receives one of those meals or let's be honest.

If you know somebody in your neighborhood who, you know, if they even if they don't receive the meals,

they you're somebody that is a candidate for them. Check in on them.

Yeah. Check in on them. See other doing. You're outside shoveling anyway.

Yeah. It's like five feet. Go over. Check in on them.

You're going to feel good and you're going to wish somebody did it for you one day.

And it's just good. It's just being a good human being. Absolutely.

So please encourage you to do that. Check in on each other. Everybody.

Seth, let's start here with this one. Okay.

This one of these one if questions. A friend asks if they can borrow $10.

You hand them a 10 and they use it to buy powerful tickets and they hit the jackpot.

How much do they owe you? Someone asked and people voted. Here are the four options.

Okay.

Number one, just the original $10. You loan them.

Number two, half of the winnings. Number three, all the winnings. And number four, nothing.

The top vote getters. We want your answers. Everybody, seven, one, five, four, two, four, twenty, six hundred, four, two, four, twenty, six hundred.

The top vote getter was just the original $10. It got 72% of the vote. Wow.

If they want to give you more, great, and maybe they should, but they're not obligated to.

Half of the winnings is next with 15% than nothing at 12%.

2% think that they should give you the full $1 billion.

2%. Wow.

That's actually high to me. That makes sense. That seems, yeah.

I wonder if you were just joking around like, well, they got to give you everything.

If the roles were reversed, 64% say that they'd only feel obligated to pay back the original $10.

27% claim that they'd split the winnings. And 9% say, no, I'm a billionaire.

Here's your 10 bucks. I'm out of here. That's it. That's it. I've done. Who are you?

I don't remember. I don't remember any of my friends from 10 minutes ago when I went before I was a billionaire.

I don't remember.

For me, my vote, I'm not only giving them the 10. I'm putting a couple of zeros on there.

I mean, it's just not only, again, good car, but I think.

But I don't know. To me, I don't feel like I'm a good judge of this.

I've grown up with nothing. So if I won $10,000, I'd be freaking out, let alone a billion.

And I wouldn't know what to do with 10 grand more than one billion.

I think about this with athletes all the time.

Not so much that second contract, but the kid that's coming out of college that grew up with me.

That grew up with nothing. And they signed their first million dollar contract.

Yes. Like, we judge that stuff all the time and how they spend their money and all these things.

Man, you don't know what you do. Don't you don't act like you know what you do in that situation?

No. Well, I do this and that, please. You have an idea.

Yeah. You have an idea in a feeling of what you do.

What you'd like to do. But none of us know unless we're actually in that situation.

No. No. I do. The people that say you don't owe anything.

They was like, wait a minute. Yeah. You still borrowed $10.

You still have to pay them a good on the debts.

We've already got enough billionaires like that. We're good.

We're good. We don't need anymore like that.

Oh, nice.

Pretty much the whole top one.

Yeah. No, Kim.

One percent and everything.

$10. It's mine. Yeah. Yeah. This is what my $10.

I'll tell you. I asked you for that.

All right.

All right. Good luck with that.

I enjoy. I, you know, I'll say this too.

I just think it'd be kind of fun to be in that situation.

For obviously winning would be fun.

Right.

But even knowing somebody that won.

That would be fascinating. Yeah.

Like my best friend Chris wins the lottery.

Last thing I'm doing is asking him for money.

I want a party with him.

I want to celebrate with him.

I don't need any money.

Just let me just hang out.

Let me just be in the atmosphere of it.

Yeah. Really. Yeah.

That's how poor I grew up.

I just want to be around money.

I just want to look at it a little bit.

Hey. Wow. That's a lot of money.

All right. I've never seen a thousand dollar bill.

Let me see that.

Cool.

It feels like the other one.

It's interesting.

I'm smelling it.

Yeah. I'm not trying to steal it.

I just want to look at it.

I'm not a great criminal.

No.

But I'm a good friend. Good friend.

Good friend.

We will come back with some more fun.

We got the L.K.F.A. birthday anniversary.

Go right around the corner on the morning show here at WFHR.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday.

It's time to do some celebrating with our good friends over at L.K.F.A.

We encourage you to treat yourself, get on over to L.K.F.A.

They're waiting for you.

In fact, I'm on their Facebook page right now.

And Happy Wednesday, everyone,

They are featuring chicken dumpling and a wonderful cheesy potato.

They hope to see your smile in faces soon over at 221 Market Avenue and Beautiful Port Edwards.

Got fruit crepes as a breakfast special.

Oh.

That sounds really good.

That sounds really.

Crapes are tasty.

Yeah. Yeah.

Sneaky good to me.

I wouldn't have thought as a kid that I'd like them.

And as an adult, I do.

Yeah. That would be good.

Visitor, friends at L.K.F.A.

I wish them a great day from all of us, everybody.

And get us those birthdays and anniversaries.

That was a great day.

Yeah.

Congratulations, Bob.

Yeah.

And thank you so much for listening.

And everybody that got to see his birthdays and anniversaries.

Keep coming, everybody.

We love celebrating with you.

We take a look at our celebrity list.

And first up is Paris Jackson, is 26.

I believe daughter of Michael Jackson.

Okay.

She's been in the public eye, really.

But she's been doing some things here and there.

It seems a...

It's got to be an interesting person, I imagine.

I got...

I don't blame her.

Yeah.

If she doesn't want to stay under the...

Yeah.

After, you know, considering...

Yeah.

I'd be avoiding publicity.

Yeah.

By all means, extremely well-adjusted, it seems.

For growing up the way that she did.

It seems like dead.

Yeah.

You know, on the surface.

Amanda Bines is 38.

And part of the reason I said what I just did

is because of Amanda Bines.

I saw her name coming up.

I will be completely honest with the audience.

I knew who Amanda Bines was.

I had no idea about her talent.

Or the shows or anything she had ever done in her career.

And all I really knew about her was kind of the tail...

Not the end of her career, but what we have seen recently

with her recent struggles and everything.

Exactly.

I watched the documentary like a lot of people out there

quite on the set.

Side to the side as well.

As a kid who was abused, it was tough to watch.

I will say that it's an important watch.

And I'm very glad I did for a number of different reasons.

One, these kids, these people deserve witnesses.

That's always important.

And to get to see the Amanda Bines is incredibly talented.

Holy cow.

Like, that kid's good.

That she was a really talented kid.

Yeah.

And no idea.

Fearless.

Completely fearless.

Think about how much you have, like, that you worry about about yourself

when you look in the mirror before you go to school

from, like, early grades, late grade school

to the last day of high school.

Right.

Like, what that's like.

Every pimple you have, every one of those things,

how awkward all that stuff was.

And this kid is just out there just leaving it all on the stage.

I didn't, like, the comedy wasn't for me.

It was for kids.

It was for kids.

Right.

But I'm looking, I'm watching that.

And I'm like, holy cow.

This kid, like, what she could have been.

And not to say that her, I mean, she is only 38.

She could still work.

She could still do stuff.

I don't know if she wants to.

And that's her decision.

But there's been some years lost here.

And had she had some support.

Had she had a strong upbringing in some of these things.

And that's not a shot of her parents.

That's a shot of the industry.

Oh, 100%.

You know, I couldn't imagine what she could be.

You know, why couldn't she be Selena Gomez?

Why couldn't she be, you know, even Drew Barrymore,

or something like that.

It's a shame.

She gave a lot to the industry.

You could tell she loved acting,

loved making people laugh.

I don't know.

It's a shame, I think.

Well, and you know, it's something,

it was kind of watching that documentary, by the way,

was a companion piece.

I read a book recently called Burn It Down,

which is about the issues throughout,

for all creative people in Hollywood.

I mean, it's such in a lot of ways.

I mean, it's getting better.

We're starting to see it, but it's still a lot of it.

It's just awful.

Yeah.

Awful.

Yeah.

I mean, I understand why people, they love it.

And we see in that documentary, Drake Bell,

saying, you know, he loved doing it.

He wanted that was where he loved being and all this stuff.

That's why you're there.

But then there's people right there to exploit you

because of that desire, because of that passion,

which is just disgusting.

My whole life, I used to imagine,

I've never had any regrets, but I did used to imagine

it would be like to have an early break,

to be a child after.

Because that's a dream.

That was my dream.

I was seven years old.

That's what I wanted, was to be working doing that.

The older I get, the more I wonder, man,

maybe I dodge a bullet, maybe I know.

You might have, man.

Because I can't imagine something making me,

just something making me fall out of love with acting.

Something making me fall out of love with entertaining.

I couldn't imagine that.

Almost every one of those kids I saw it in their eyes.

None.

No more love for it.

Don't.

I couldn't imagine that.

It's really, wow, it's something.

All of the other things.

Kobe Smolders is 42.

Robin, and how I met your mother, Maria Hill,

and the Marvel movies.

And in the Lego movies as well.

She's awesome.

She really is.

She's great.

Very good delivery.

Very good, like, just a natural way of delivering lines

and everything.

The great, the wonderful Adam Scott is 51.

Ben Wyatt on Parks and Recks.

Reese Witherspoon's husband and big little lies.

Adam Scott is good at drama, comedy.

He's very, very talented.

He plays the husband a lot.

He's really nice.

I just realized that he's like the husband.

He really does.

I really, really like him.

He's one of my sneaky favorite actors.

But I got to say, I tried to watch the first couple of minutes

of that Madam Web movie.

And he's in it.

Yes, he is.

He's in the first couple of minutes or whatever.

And even he couldn't make me like, I don't know the last time

I've turned a movie off after five minutes.

Oh, no.

I don't think I think I'm like one hand.

I can count how many times I've done that.

And really, just really after it was partially on me.

Because I only watched a little of it after.

And it was after I'd heard what's her name.

Dakota Johnson's the Trashing Move.

Trash it.

Yeah, right.

And seeing what she was doing in the first five minutes,

I'm like, well, I could see why it wasn't that great.

I've never seen a more like non-performance.

Like there's phoning it in.

And then there's just today, birthdays.

It's like Stephen Wright on, you know, even, even on slow-mo.

Let's see here.

Jenny Garth is 52.

Kelly on Beverly Hills 902.

Oh, yeah.

I remember him.

I remember that.

Ben Mendelsson is 55.

Just such a good, good character actor.

Excellent.

You know him.

I promise you know him if you've seen him.

Death Star and Rogue One, Cereto and Ready Player One.

Pleased to villain a lot.

But what I really love about what they did in the Marvel movies

and they do this all the time is they take a guy who was a traditional villain in most movies.

And you see him and you immediately assume in your head that he is going to be a bad guy or the bad guy.

And then they turn him.

And then they turn him a little bit.

And like, I don't know.

Here's the other side of him.

And they give you a full thing.

And Ben Mendelsson is the right actor for a role like that.

He's so, his delivery is slow.

And it's steady.

And you don't see it coming.

But when he gets angry or when he hits you with something, you feel it.

That's why he's so good.

I think that's why he's such a good villain.

And that's why he's being cast.

Yeah.

Because he's just so good at it.

Yeah, I really, really enjoy his work.

I put him on the top 50 greatest character actors, I think.

Sebastian Bach is 56 from Skid Row.

18 to the life.

I remember you.

And another one of those that feels like he should be older.

Like, yeah.

Nothing.

Happy for him.

Happy 56 to him and everything.

But yeah.

Mike Ness is 62 lead singer of Soulset Distortion.

Oh wow.

Interesting couple of lead singers back to back.

Yeah.

And then we've got one of the bigger names we're ever going to have on this list.

Andy Murphy is 63 today.

Wow.

You're hard pressed to find a young person who was not influenced by Eddie Murphy.

And I don't care what they're doing nowadays.

I mean, like in any industry, I don't care if they're a mechanic.

They had some, like they were inspired or they laughed or they enjoyed Eddie Murphy.

Like one of those guys.

We forget.

He was one of the biggest stars at one point.

Yeah.

The 80s, 90s.

I mean, he could open a movie.

Yeah.

I mean, it didn't matter if the movie was good or not, people would go see Eddie Murphy.

Yeah.

Yeah.

What would they would do?

The something of Pluto Nash.

I forget which one it was, but it was like it's still like his big bomb and his career.

That still did well by today's standards.

Like that's the kind of career he had just as an example.

Like his bombs were even somewhat successful and noteworthy.

Yeah.

Because there were so few of them.

Exactly.

And one of those more versatile talented guys too, because we've normalized sort of a lot of this with him.

Great actor.

Great writer.

Great singer.

Not a bad singer.

Not a bad singer.

I should say not a bad singer.

Not a great singer.

But not a bad singer.

He had a hit.

Well, give him that.

Well, he had one hit, you know.

And just an interesting guy.

Also a real comeback story.

Yeah.

Well, it was kind of like left for dead there for a while.

His career and bounce back.

David Hyde Pierce is 65 today.

Now, it's Crane on Frazier and so many other great roles.

I really like his work.

He started the movie The Perfect Host.

That is one of the most like it's one of the more disturbing movies.

But it's not violent.

There's not a lot of there's no blood and gods or any of that or anything.

It's more of a psychological one.

Yeah.

And his performance is one of the most like incredible ones I've ever seen.

Wow.

The period.

It's a really haunting but really interesting movie.

Definitely worth a watch if you're into those kind of movies like the Hitchcock style of film.

Yeah.

That kind of thing.

I really impressed him.

He really impressed me.

He also was the voice of one of the main characters in the Hellboy movie.

Yes.

And Abe.

Abe.

Abe's APN.

I couldn't remember it.

And it was perfectly cast.

He did a perfect job.

He pulled his name from the credits.

Yep.

Because he didn't believe that he deserved credit for the performance given by another guy that we really like.

From Black Panther and Andy Circus.

Andy Circus.

He thought Andy Circus' performance was so good.

He's like, no, Andy Circus should be.

I believe it was Andy Circus.

It was someone.

I can't remember exactly who it was.

But yeah, he just did the voice.

He didn't do the body acting or anything like that.

Which I mean, consider.

Because I remember seeing that movie and listening is like, oh, that's David Hyde Pierce.

And nothing of the credits.

I'm like, was that David Hyde Pierce?

I don't know.

You never hear of actors doing that.

That's very rare.

You're a real credit to him for that.

Alec Baldwin is 66 today.

Incredible career.

When you think about it, like, you take a step back.

I understand that he's got some, you know, some, he's messed up a lot.

And it is saying, you're talking about Eddie Murphy's comeback.

How many has he had now?

Yeah.

Why is Alec Baldwin's talented don't get me wrong, but he has had so many comebacks.

I don't know.

He's not that, nobody's that talented.

Nobody is that talented to make that many comebacks.

There's a lot of other questions I got on.

Yeah.

Tony Orlando is 80 today.

Why do you know he's still alive?

Awesome.

And Wayne Newton is 82.

A couple of interesting birthday.

Yes.

Love it.

Doris Day would have been celebrating a birthday today.

Born in 1922, passed away in 2019.

One of the greats.

Oh, she was great.

Let's see.

Marlon Brando, born in the state 1924, passed away in 04.

Wow.

How many people born on this day?

My goodness.

Yeah.

Marlon Brando, not somebody that I would ever want to have a conversation

with off off stage, but I would give anything to work with on stage.

He's one of those guys.

One of those guys that growing up in my house and then with the movies I watched

and watching him and hearing good stories about him, you can't be in the acting game

and not watch Marlon Brando and not learn something.

Obviously not a perfect human being and not not even a good person in some ways

the way it looks and everything.

Yeah.

But looking at his skill and his talent, he changed the game of acting.

Marlon Brando is the only person I've ever heard that learned his cues, not his lines.

I mean, some of the things, some of the choices he made, only he could make

with the way his brain worked.

Right.

And if I could put up with the guy for a little while, I'd love to interview.

I would have loved to interview him.

I would have loved to talk to him.

I'm disappointed by the interviews I saw with him.

I never really saw anybody really get, really get into it with Marlon Brando.

And because I don't think he wanted to.

No.

Because he was very closed about that kind of stuff.

Yeah.

There's a lot of that nowadays.

You know, he was allowed to have his time, I guess, on that one.

Yeah.

Just watch him in Apocalypse Now.

That's a great example because almost all of his dialogue is improvised.

Yeah.

Just a few lines from like the original novel by Joseph Conrad.

But other than that, most of that is improvised.

Because for whatever, you know, Marlon Brando reason, he didn't learn, did the lines.

They just said, okay, we need to do this.

We'll do it his way.

And it's still pretty, it's a me, it's iconic.

There's certain lines in there that are amazing.

Yeah.

I mean, it's one of the great things.

He was.

You cannot talk about the theme of acting and not bring up Marlon Brando.

Incredible actor.

And also Washington Irving, born on this day in 1783.

Oh.

Epis way in 1859.

Great American author, Rip Van Winkle, the legend of Sleepy Hollow.

He brought us Ikebod Craig.

I would venture to say he's the first great American author.

Yeah.

He really embraced what America was.

And he was the one that did the folk, like you said, like the folk tales.

And the first ones that we had, you know, Rip Van Winkle, legend of Sleepy Hollow.

Those were quick, essentially American.

It's very vital to a country, obviously, important export.

But it doesn't just stop with goods.

The arts are gigantic when it comes to the history of your country and selling your country.

Yeah, you're making other people want to come to your country and visit it.

Every country needs this.

Take your culture, like be interested in what you have to offer.

Right.

Yeah.

Imagine starting from zero.

Basically.

Yeah.

No artists.

No, no traditions.

None of that.

It was all British.

Yep.

It was all British stuff.

But now then they started doing their own.

And I say he's one of the big reasons that he's one of the first one that started what American culture became.

It's really fascinating to look at and watch.

We will get out of here on that.

But we want to send a big, big thank you to our friends over at El Café.

Go visit them right now.

There are 221 Market Avenue.

In port Edward.

Stick around for a news break.

And then again, I know.

Well, listen to the news while you head over to El Café.

We should be good morning from all of us at WFHR.

Welcome back, everyone.

Morning show here at WFHR.

Hope you're having a good one out there.

Thanks for joining us.

Seth and James here with you.

We're going to talk a little music in a moment here.

But first, let's go ahead and see what's on your mind.

Good morning, you're on the air.

Boy, so I'm feeling okay now that I know Seth is on the phone.

I mean, I'm sure it was a rough day for him yesterday.

And it might be a rough day again for him today.

But I mean, this is a good example of why Wisconsin has a dome base wall field.

Yeah, that's true.

Definitely.

Because if you're a minister right now, I'm sure that both games will probably be canceled

or if they didn't have the dome down in Milwaukee, both games will be canceled.

Yeah.

We got a lot of people in our civic media family here that are big, big promote proponents

of every stadium should have a dome.

A retractable dome.

Yeah, right.

I haven't seen all the chats out of it, but a little bit I've seen it seems like there's

a lot of people behind this one.

And then I'm seeing on social media.

So many people are like, why don't they have a dome?

Why don't they have an retractable dome?

Yeah, dude, we did the dome thing and everyone hated it.

What do you think we made the park?

That wasn't a dome.

That was a hefty back.

That was a hefty back.

Did you guys stretch?

Inflated, stretched as far as you could.

They really did look like a hefty back.

They did, they did.

I can't even have my memories as a kid.

It's going to be a bucket rush.

I would get some hefty back and catching a fly ball.

I went to several games there.

It wasn't a great place to watch the game.

Yeah.

But it was still baseball.

So I didn't mind.

We had an opportunity to play there in baseball.

Oh, cool.

Yeah, that wasn't a very good place to play.

When you were in high school and even then you're not impressed.

Like that saying something.

When you look up at the ceiling, the same color as the ball.

You know, that's hard.

It's a little difficult.

Not a great artistic move.

No, no, no.

Enjoying the baseball season so far, man.

It's not only because, I mean, I know there's 169 or 59 more games left to go.

And stuff.

But or whatever it is.

But I just.

It's baseball.

There's just a lot of good young players in the league this year.

Yeah.

I mean, yesterday we saw probably our first pick up from.

Curial there and late in the game.

Oh.

Can happen.

I just.

Yeah.

I mean, here's it.

It's 20 years old.

It's still.

Each of you still in a junior year in college.

Yeah.

Wow.

Yeah.

It's.

Yeah.

It's fine.

I mean, I just have to solve.

I mean, it's something leads on myself.

It's remarkable to see that any of these kids like that age up, you know, we're so used

to 24s when we usually see them or some after a couple of years in AAA or something like

that.

It is impressive just to see him already in the majors.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, it's me.

I have an opportunity to host some of the some raptors and a few years in the past and

talking to some of these guys that get to play like that.

Texas, the NM, Georgia, Texas, you know, the big, bigger, especially the S.E.C. schools.

Some of those kids were pretty much told when they, if they got drafted like in the middle

rounds, they weren't going to rookie ball.

They were pretty much going to get bumped up to like low A, maybe high A.

Right.

Right out of college because I mean, S.E.C.

Ball is more a base ball.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, a reality.

And some of those D1 schools, when those kids get drafted in the higher rounds, they're

going to probably move up quicker than you get one of the kids from a decent school or smaller

school.

So I can agree with you now a little bit more often.

It should be interesting.

Yeah.

We got to get Phil on the phone here.

So you know, feel free to call back or give us a call on Monday for Playmakers, brother.

Safe travels out there.

Yeah.

I got my lift.

All right.

Already.

Oh, gosh.

We're looking forward to it, man.

Safe travels out there.

All right, guys.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You too.

Phil Hartley from Quality Plus Printing going to join us any minute with our wicked awesome

word of Wednesday.

Looking forward to that.

And looking forward to talking about some other things here with you.

But first, let's go ahead and check in with our friends at Quality Plus Printing.

Phil Hartley joining us on the phone lines right now.

Good morning, Phil.

Good morning.

You get a busy phone line going this morning.

We do.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We're getting popular.

Yeah.

It's been fun.

We're taking some calls today.

One of the top three morning shows in the state.

Thank you very much.

That's why.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Phil, before we dive into how things are over at the shop and our wicked awesome word.

I want to remind everybody that we are calling all heroes.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Bring it on.

We've got several in now.

We're looking for lots more.

So yeah, we're having a little honor.

Wow.

I want to say we're honoring our heroes.

And if you have a hero in your life that just did something right to you today or has

been there for a long time or he just knows does the right things.

Please get the word to us.

And then we're going to get them some honor and get them a free t-shirt.

And the Raptors River Kings are kicking in.

And I get some other local businesses.

We'll talk next week on this one there.

I think I'm going to get in on this too and help us out and give some small prizes to the winner of this.

So fantastic.

Really nice.

A neat thing.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, Phil, this is one of those things.

And being honest with you, of course, as we always are with each other and the audience, as I always am with these guys,

one thing that I think it needs to be said.

And certainly when it comes to almost any promotion.

But especially one like this, I give it time.

Have some patience.

This is going to take a little time to build.

In part because we're doing this in the Midwest.

In nobody.

Nobody looks to take credit.

Nobody brags about them.

That's true.

And we have so many good people in our lives.

But we don't necessarily think about it.

And you may be one of those people.

And you don't think about it.

That's a Midwest mentality.

That's kind of just the way we handle things around here.

So it's going to take a little bit for people to think of that.

Yeah.

I thought it one this morning.

It's kind of funny.

It's kind of a quick story.

But every one in the work, not every morning.

Because I try to vary it some.

But I drive down Lincoln Street a lot.

Instead of going down East Street, just take a break.

It's a big graphic area of our town.

And anyway, there's a house on Lincoln Street.

And I don't know the fellas name.

I don't know who he is.

But he sits in the garage almost every morning.

And waves at cars going by.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Just wave that meme before.

Yeah.

It's a good guy.

It seems like a good guy.

And I said, that guy, man.

That guy would be a good nomination for this contest.

Absolutely.

Hey.

Yes.

And go by there.

And you know what?

It's funny.

It's kind of like Pavlov's dog.

It's a guy's mouth.

I still wave at the house.

Yeah.

That's nice.

And because you're going to be watching somewhere, you know?

That's a great example.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's a great example, Phil.

Those are the kind of people we're looking for.

If you have a hero in mind, send an email explaining why your hero should be recognized

for our hero of the month with our forensic quality post printing in WAM.

Find out more about that by emailing them.

Follow them on Facebook.

And be sure to you can direct message them on Facebook or even get it to us and we'll

get it to them.

Or if you need to, let's get those hometown heroes to our forensic quality post printing.

And let's celebrate them.

Yeah.

Let's do it.

That's going to be a lot of fun.

Yeah.

But a lot of fun so far.

I got it.

It's like two in overnight.

So let's start.

Like you said, it's starting to take a little.

It takes a little time.

You're right.

And when you get, you know, some pictures out there and hopefully some people have

some fun with this and seeing that, you know, it's a really neat thing to throw under these

people will get more and more.

So it's going to be fun.

And once we pick one to this month, which I'll do this week sometime or a bunch of

us will get together and do it.

We keep everybody's with, you know, you don't have to do it every month.

If you come up with another one, bring another one too.

But we'll have how many next month as well, you know.

Very, very cool.

Phil joins us every Wednesday with our wicked awesome word of Wednesday.

Phil, what is our word for today?

Well, I think that's what we need more about your acting ability, James.

That's the old.

This word here.

They're trying to bite your thumb with this one.

So the word is, Deedle.

Deedle.

And it's spelled D-A-E-D-A-L.

It's pronounced Deedle.

Okay.

It means skillful are artistic.

Or even intricate is another definition of it.

But really, you know, it's like someone that builds those little tiny doll houses or something.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, okay.

The ship in a bottle.

Yeah, exactly.

Oh, that is a good word.

Oh, that is, I never heard that one.

Me neither.

That's a new one.

I like that one.

That's a good one, Phil.

Nicely done.

Yeah.

We appreciate that, Phil.

Did you come across that one in your word of day calendar?

Is that what that was?

That's a big calendar.

That thing man is paying for itself.

That thing is awesome.

That's a great word.

Yeah, every week.

No, no, it's been good.

I try to listen for words.

What's crazy is that I listen for words on TV and please, if anybody hears on, you know,

all our app, you just need to be here.

Yeah.

You don't hear every day that's kind of neat.

But by the time I get to write it down, when I hear something, then I go out of crap.

It wasn't.

Yes.

Yes.

No pad of my card.

Because, you know.

One of the more relatable things you're going to ever say about the year.

Exactly.

Yeah.

We've filled that one so much.

It seems like you know it's a good idea if you lost it.

Yeah, right.

That's a good idea.

Who knows if it actually was or not, but because you lost it, like, oh, that was the one.

That was the one that was going to make it me a million dollars or it was going to put me on

the mat or whatever.
