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. We got your host, James here. I'm joined
by Seth Havager. Good morning. And the best listeners in radio. Thanks for joining us,
everybody. We're going to get into some entertainment news and a little bit, get some fun stuff
to cover there. A little bit later, we're going to get into 15 signs, random signs that
you are getting becoming an older person. Oh boy. All that coming up for you. But right
now we kick things off and Thursdays with our pet of the week. We say a big shout out to
our friends over the South of County main society joining us today. Good to see you, man.
Thanks for being a tip. And we want to send a big shout out to our friends at Johnson
Chrysler Dodge and Jeep dealership, your hometown proud family own dealership. Need to upgrade
your current ride or find a safe vehicle for your new driver. We are here for you full service
from test drive to financing and repairs. We love this community in our area residents.
A big shout out to our friends over Johnson Chrysler Dodge and Jeep dealership. Appreciate
them sponsoring the segment and appreciate you being here, man. Tim, thanks. Good to see
you. How you been? Good. You good. We're doing good here, doing good here. What's going
on over at the main society? Let's get into some news and notes about that. Okay. First
off, we'll start with the pet of the week. Yeah. Yeah. I know you always pull them up.
Yeah. By the way, we've had just tremendous success with adoptions lately. So wonderful.
Everyone has responded well. And most of our long-term residents are gone now. Wow. Yeah.
Excellent. That's wonderful. The other sponsorships are really good to hear. We came in
donated and so the pets are moving. Oh, and the cats. So very cool. Today is a, it's
spotlighted, a tiny little thing, but pretty energetic. She and Axel is her name. She's
one year old. It's just about 40 pounds. She, if you go on a website or the Facebook page,
she's also on pet of the week on Facebook. Very cool. She needs a special home. She's
had some trauma in her past. She does love people and toys. I can tell you that. She can
chase a ball. Yeah. Yeah. She looks special needs as you'll see on polls. Yeah. I encourage
you to look into her, look into it, know that all the animals at the Humane Society
are chipped. They are all spayed, neutered, all of them. So keep that in mind. And anything
as far as Axel goes and when it comes to like an animal like this, especially Tim, there's
this is an animal that if you're unsure of, you come meet, you can, you can see if it's
a good fit. It's not something where they just throw the animal in your lap. No, this
is something that is made sure that both parties, the Humane Society and you will feel good
and comfortable going forward and it is the right fit. That's a good point. What our
process is you put an application in first because we do not allow anymore just everyone
coming in looking at the walk through it. Just excite them too much. Yeah. So you get
your application when or you get approved, you set up a meet and greet. We have people
trained. They won't let you meet. If you have other pets in the home, we encourage
either bring them in or a second visit. So you can see how they're going to interact
or with children. Yeah. Because a lot of the dogs and cats we receive are what we call
strays. Yeah. Our dogs, we don't know where they come from. We really about their past
anything. And it's kind of hard to tell what they're going to do. Yeah. Yeah. These are
unpredictable in some ways when it comes to some of that. But it's not from a, it's
the best thing for the animal. And that's always got to come first. And I appreciate that
and respect that about the Humane Society. Yeah. It's not an easy thing to always pull off.
But it is something that when you do it right, it goes well. And I'm glad that this came
up about the way that you can take in these animals now. Because I've talked to a lot
of our listeners about this. And this was a long time. I would say at least a year ago
or so that this kind of conversation came up. And one of the comments was, well, but I
want to see the animals. I want to go see them. You can see them. They're online. They're
all online for you. You can see any of them there. And that's a really cool thing to be
able to offer to the community. And a lot of Humane Society's, in fact, almost all the
main societies I know of are doing the handling things this way now. It's just better for
the animals. It's, it's a little, it's a little tense to walk into these Humane
societies. All these animals seeing you, especially these dogs seeing you. And you walk past
every single one of them. And every single one of them is thinking, oh, am I going home
now? Correct. That's cruel. It just, I'm just, it just, just me talking. I'm not talking
for anybody else, just me. It could be kind of cruel. So I think that this is the right
way to do this. And it's really cool to hear our Humane Society taking that initiative
and do handling things that way. Well, would you do that? Also, if you have 20 plus
dogs, they're all barking. Yeah. Right. So then people leave. Then another person comes
in five minutes later, 10, whatever. And then the dog you all riled up again. And because
we walk them twice a day, sometimes they figure, oh, we're here for a walk. People walk
by and they don't know what's going on. And they have a lot of anxiety already. Yeah,
be honest. They're absolutely. You're living in a, you know, a lot of them, they might
have been in a home. Yeah. And all of a sudden, you know, you're sitting in this kennel.
Can't see anybody can do anything. You know, it's pretty lonely life sometimes. It, you
know, it doesn't take a lot of empathy to do this. But if you need to, put yourself in
a closet for a minute, just a minute, just a minute. Go ahead and sit in a closet for
a minute and see how different it is. Right. It's, it's not that different. And that's
your life. Yeah. Yeah. You can find out more about Axel and all these other great animals
over there at SWCHS.com. Tim, I know we have some other information about the society
that we wanted to talk about too. Yes. Well, this is the only a couple of days left until
Saturday of National Dog Bite Prevention Week. So, um, people don't realize any dog
or cat can bite. I mean, some people say, Oh, no, my dog cat would never do that. Well,
under any circumstance, people have to remember that's an animal. And if provoked the wrong
way, they can bite. Yeah. Yeah. So we have a lot of tips on our Facebook page and signs
and signals. How to avoid? I know with dogs, they will let you know. Yeah. Before. Yeah,
usually. Yeah. Yeah. They show the teeth a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. All different signs.
So they will give you an awarding. And if you don't pay attention, yep. You're going
to get bit. Yeah. Probably. So I wanted to cover a little bit more too, because we had
kind of a rash of bite cases. And just to let the public know what happens when there's
a bite. Yeah. And these were specific dog bites. And there was five actually on the day
before Easter. Wow. Wow. Yeah. It came about one postal delivery person was bit. The rest
were just general in the house or in the arts neighbor. Um, what happens is once a bite's
reported. Okay. Now this is for reporting where it goes to Wood County dispatch. Hmm.
The humane officer has to be involved because there's a protocol for rabies. So the dogs
have to be quarantined for 10 days by state law. Okay. Now there's a couple of options.
If you have been a, I should say responsible pet owner and you paid the $35, $40 to have
a rabie shot. Right. You can quarantine at home called self quarantine. You just have
to make sure the dog doesn't get out. Whatever. If you don't, the dog has to come to a licensed
facility, which is the only one statute allows is a veterinarian office or the humane
site. And if you've been most of the vets don't have the facility. So it's pretty much
us or marshal area pet shelter. So that by county statute is going to cost you $300.
Wow. Well, that's the fee they set of $30 a day 10 days. That makes sense. In addition,
you have to bring the animal in dog or cat. Most of the typically is dog. You put them
in the kennel. Our staff is not allowed to have contact with them because we don't know
if they're going to bite if they have rabies or not. Right. Right. So that's why we have
inside outside kennels now. You can put them outside, close the door, clean, let them
in, close the door, clean the outside. Very cool. Go back and forth. The owners are also responsible
for three veterinarian chicks, which can be a little ex costly also. Oh, yeah. If you can
even find a vet to do that now, they are so booked out. I know I took my dog and made
an appointment. You're looking at two months. Yeah. Typically to get a report. Yes. And
just getting in can be tell. Yeah. Yeah. They're not taking new, new clients, patients.
Yeah. We're here. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. So if you're, if they bite, you're live over a lot.
Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot to keep in mind with that. So what it comes down to basically
and tell everybody you're, if you get the shot to pay the 35, 40, whatever it would be
depending, or do you want to spend about $500 and have your pet locked up by us for 10 days.
Yeah. Yeah. It's something to keep in mind when it comes to all of these factors and
it's something to keep in mind when it comes to animals in general. It's something to
do though. There is, it starts with the owner. It starts there and it starts with responsibility
of that animal. But I do think that there is also a lot to be said to for us as a society,
you know, and how we handle these things. We know animals. We know how to approach animals.
And there's something to be said for that too. I think that there's a bit of a mutual
street there, especially the legal responsibilities comes to the owner. I'm not debating that
or anything, but I do think that, you know, I get a little frustrated sometimes with society
when they get mad at the dog for being a dog. Like it's a dog. That's what they do. They
park. You know, you can't get mad at an animal for being an animal. So it's a mutual kind
of thing where I think that we as a society can be better about this and we can also give
some grace to these animal owners as well. It comes down to, if you have a little kid
and you know, they like to pull a dog tail, don't let them do that. Exactly. Yes. You know,
these things, it's stepping up when when we're asked to as adults to be able to do these
things. You're exactly correct. It's a great point. It's a great time of year to be able
to bring this up too. Thank you very much for touching on this thing. We never get
to touch on this subject. I think it's a really cool one to bring up. That's important.
Well, I'm trying to find different things to talk about. That's excellent. I noticed
that better. I didn't know any of that enough. I appreciate that. We are very appreciative
of this community. They are so good at having our back and having our animals backs in our
humane societies. And we had a great matching offer or come up recently. Yes. One to touch
on. Anonymous person has put out $2,000 of their own money and they are matching every
donation dollar for dollar up to the 2000. Wow. So that's a very, very generous, nice
offer. Yeah. And that goes a long way. Oh, I can imagine. Unfortunately, this, well,
it's fortunate, but unfortunate. Also, I received two phone calls this week that in one
day, within a half hour, that we, some people had passed away and two people left a center
will. Wow. Oh, so that has been, it's a pretty much, you know, it's a win. Yeah. But
lose. Yeah. Yeah. It's not like Holly kind of feeling, because yeah, we, we had to lose
locals, of course. But that is a beautiful thing to be able to do with your legacy, with
your legacy, for sure, that they think that way. Yeah. Exactly. Yes. That they thought
enough of the shelter or the animals and it could have been the adoptive from us. Sometimes
we don't know. Yeah. Yeah. And that's, that's one of the, I think, interesting parts of the
job for you guys. You know, you, you get so close to these animals, you care so deeply for
this cause and these animals. And then you let them go. And you wish them well and you hope for
the best and everything. And that's all you can do. And it's a tough thing to be in the middle
of. But it's something that we appreciate the work that is done by you, that staff over
there greatly appreciate the work being done and really appreciate you joining us when you can.
Well, one, if we got time, quick, you know, the, your friend, Gator. Oh, yeah, that was one of
those moments when Gator went home. Yeah. Yeah. We, it was so heartbreaking in a way to see him go,
but it was so good. The family that adopted him also has a little yorky. Oh, cool. And we had
that meet and greet. Yeah. And everything and it worked out. And it was about two to three hours
later. The new family sent us a video of Gator. Cool. And their dog and how he has taken and it
was really, uh, it made you feel good that what you're doing is the right thing. It's hitting me
and I wasn't even a part of it. That's really cool. Watching Gator jump up on the couch by the
husband was just I don't write in there. I was, uh, it was a great video. It's a good. We appreciate
that. That's one of our lead good stories of the day. Thank you for that. I appreciate that.
And I always appreciate the time from you. Again, you can find out about Axel and all these other
great pets over at the South of County Main Society encourage you to reach out to them. If you'd
like, you can email them SWCHS at SWCHS.com. Give them a call at 715-423-0505-423-0505. Be sure to
follow them on social media. It's a great follow. Great way to keep up the day and all the good
things going on in our South of County Main Society. We'll talk next week. Tim, thanks for the time.
You bet. I want to send a big shout out to our friends at Johnson Chrysler Dodge and Jeep dealership.
Your hometown proud family ownership dealership. Need to upgrade your current ride or find a safe
vehicle for a new driver. We are here for you full service from test drive to financing repairs.
We love this community and our area residents by local support local Johnson Chrysler Dodge and
Jeep dealership. Seth and I'll be back with more show on the Morning Show at WFHR.
Welcome back everyone. Morning show here at WFHR where we are locally grown radio.
Vagely. Only vague idea of what she means. What does she mean? Let's go ahead and take a call.
Maybe they know. Okay. 424-2600. Feel free to call up and join the conversation anytime.
Good morning. What's on your mind? I have an entertainment question. Before you guys,
you guys had a bumper from Tommy Tuton. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Anybody ever called that number?
Yes. Yes. That's such a great question. Oh, I'm sure. I'm sure.
Now, it's 555 something, right? No. Oh, no. Oh, I'm thinking of the 8675309.
That's what I was thinking. Yeah. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. How are there not more songs with phone
numbers in them? Yeah. I would have thought that that would have been a more of a trend.
Right. Or because it was done once, it was like, no, we're not doing that again.
No, there was the old one from, I think it's, I want to say Wilson Pickett.
It was the old-style phone number Beachwood 457. It was very similar, actually. Yeah.
But that was another telephone number one, but there's not a lot. No.
I couldn't do a whole set face of the music on telephone numbers. I couldn't. I was just going to
ask you that. That's good. There's not enough. There's not enough. That also seems like one of
those ones that we get really old doing in kind of 863, I don't know. Yeah.
Phone number, nobody's ever had fun saying a phone number before. Not really. No. That's an
interesting one. Good call, man. Appreciate you. All right, guys. Have a great day. You too.
You too, pesky listeners and radio. Keep it coming, everybody.
One of the things that I think is kind of interesting, but also kind of cool about movies,
especially action movies and all that is being able to see people do things that you and your
head and your imagination you can think of, but you probably couldn't ever do or pull off and
envisioning yourself in that role. And sometimes we see some of these things, especially as we're
getting longer in the two. And we're seeing some of the actors that we grew up with still not
only doing it, but doing it in action movies. Yeah. I mentioned Denzel Washington in his late 60s
is still an action star. Liam Neeson and all these things and stuff. Grizzled.
And it helps every once in a while when we hear one of these great action stars are just as
human as the rest of us. I've mentioned before, I am a big fan of Keanu Reeves. I studied his career
in college and admire what he does for those that don't know Keanu Reeves has never had an agent.
Never had an agent. Fascinating. He's always chosen whatever role whether for better or worse,
the roles he chooses are of his own choice. Yep. He works when he wants to work necessarily.
I just I think he's had one when it's all said and done and we take a step back,
going to have had one of the most interesting careers in the game. It's already fascinating.
I mean, yeah, it's really something. While he has never been credited as and has never considered
himself or tries to be a thespian, I think he is a way better actor than he has given credit for.
And he his approach when I say that it's not just about accents or dialogue or any of those
things. It's the dedication he has to the craft. If he if his character does kung fu, he learns
kung fu. Right. Like it's really impressive to me the layers that he goes to to be this person
and everything. And then there's this. Remember back in January when Keanu Reeves was seen using
crutches on the set of an upcoming movie called Good Fortune? Well, director Aziz Anzari revealed
just how this happened yesterday. He said, quote, about 15 days into shooting with me, I said,
go chill in your trailer. He tripped over a rug. Oh, no. That's it. That's it. Tripped on a rug.
Neo tripped. Like that's it. That's it. That's it. It's a very human thing to do.
Now when he tripped, was it done in bullet time? Was it? Oh, you see it from all the angles and
everything. All of a sudden he just, wow, that was an amazing thing. We have all experienced this
when you're falling or you trip or this happens to me with slide on ice where you slip and you
have that couple of seconds where you're in the air and you're in the air. It really feels like
you feel like like everything stops. Yep. And you have that moment of like, oh god, I know this
is going to hurt you're bracing for impact. Yep. I would love to see bullet time of Keanu tripping
on the rug. I'd like to see that. Oh, no. Yes. So he tripped on a rug poor guy. He was such a
trooper and he fractured his kneecap and continued to do all the scenes. Oh, no. So when you do see
that movie, good fortune. No, that Keanu was a begged up throughout the hall.
Aziz also brought up a good point in all of Keanu's action movies like John Wick and Speed.
You never had to go to the hospital or anything.
But in real life. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think of all the stuff he's been through and he got
beat by a rug. Good fortune is more than likely a comedy. Aziz is a fan. He's a stand-up comedian.
I know him from Parks and Recs and then the movies are going to start Keanu Reeves, Seth Rogan,
Sandra O. Kiki Palmer, all great actor comedic actors. Kiki Palmer, man, I really like her.
I really, really, really like her. She's good. That's awesome. That's a great story. That is a great
story. I like that they share that too. Yeah. I want to do a touch on this one too. They are
bringing back Melrose Place. Yep. Now, please call up 715-424-2600. Do you know what Melrose Place is
for one and two? Did you want this to come back? I'd love to hear if anybody did. I never watched it.
Ever. Yeah. I knew of course what it was because everyone heard about it back then with the
three big networks. Yeah. So we knew what it was. But or four big networks, I should say.
But I know. Why is there so is there a call? Why can't they just come up with a similar show now?
Well, and you know, I noticed they're not bringing back the hits. They're bringing back
niche things like they had their moment and then they faded away and they almost rose and ended
on same day. What was the joke about Melrose Place? Slapping each other. That was the thing. Everyone
got slapped in it. Heather Locklear's face is still a little red. That's all that. Speaking of,
Heather Locklear and Laura Lighten and Daphne Zunga are some of the original stars. It
seems like there is no word if they're coming back or not. We'll see. The original Melrose Place
ran on Fox from 92 to 99. There was a reboot on the CW in 2009 that featured a younger cast,
but that did not end well. That didn't go very good. It didn't do well ratings. No, not at all.
Like that. So let's try it again. Yeah, right. That doesn't make a lot of sense.
It's an interesting one. Eminem is asking his fans for their help with an upcoming
documentary. It's untitled, but it seems to be all be about all of his fans. He tweeted out a
link to an online survey with questions like how the fan first heard about Eminem. If they
considered themselves a Stan and if they collect his merch or write fan fiction or any of those
fun things, or if they've seen him in Detroit before, it's also asked for a one minute video
explaining why they're an Eminem big fan. Stan is referenced to his 2000 song, of course.
But this is one of those things that he has been working really hard at over the years of kind of,
like there's people who try to rebrand their image or try to redo their image. And then there's
people that kind of like look in the mirror one day and like, oh, I'm in my 40s and I do not like how
I acted in my 20s. I did not feel good about how I treated my fans. I did not feel good about this
or that. And instead of kind of like just feeling that and like just, you know, that's it.
Right. Trying to do something about it. I think it's pretty cool that he is. I think it's pretty
unique of him of the way he is doing this as well. And it's interesting because it's almost,
there's you know, in some recovery programs, there's something that's called making amends.
And it almost sounds like that's what he's doing, which is really fascinating for someone
because he didn't have to. Yeah, he doesn't have to do it because people are still as going to be
his fans. I mean, he's got fans from way back when. But it's interesting that he's now showing
concern about that and wanting to give. And I'm first of all just doing a like a famous person
doing a movie about their fans. Yeah, I've never heard that before. Yeah, that's new. I like what
he's doing with his career. You know, it's really interesting. I've always respected him as a
lyricist. He is by far and away one of the greatest lyricists in hip-hop history.
Mm-hmm. Here he is. There's a reason he was so popular. He was good. Yeah. Yeah.
Where there are a lot of artists in that industry that when they're white and they have a hit song
or something like that, that propels them up there. He got propelled. He stayed up there
because of his lyricists because of his talent. Yeah. There's not a lot of rappers that you can say
that about. Like there's not a handful. Most of them got a good DJ or hit song or a good refrain,
a good hook, something like that. He had all those things and the respect from the industry.
One of the hardest industries to get respect from for his lyricists. So it you don't do that if
you're not a thinker. And if you're a thinker, this kind of starts to make a little bit more sense
of what he is doing here with this documentary and everything. Right. And I think it's so cool that
the idea of fans of his seeing this on the big screen. You know, that's pretty cool. It's a unique
way of that. That is cool. Yeah. I appreciate it. That online survey, if you're curious, you go to
bio.site and a stands film is where you'll go. Alright, dot site standsfilm.com. I want to touch
on this one real quick just because we don't do. This has been going on since we were kids and
newspapers were much bigger. But I come out with this story. You know, James got caught doing this
on page one. And then when it turns out that I actually didn't do that and all those things were
not actually true on page 10. Retraction. The retract. Yep. I try as art with our show. I try
really hard to do those things in page one. Okay. The retraction on page one. There has been a lot
of talk about show. Hey, Otani and the the situation that he is in with his translator. Oh, yeah.
Show a Otani is not only innocent in his former interpreters gambling scandal. But the feds
found that he was also a victim of fraud. The interpreter gambled away at least 4.5 million
and claimed Otani covered the debt. It turns out that that was a lie. And he actually
embezzled money from one of Otani's accounts. He'll be facing federal charges soon. So there
is that and it does look like show a Otani has been cleared on all fronts when it comes to this.
There's obviously gray area to this. There are all of those factors and everything. I'm not
getting in any of that just legally as far as the legal books go. Right. This is where this case
is going and ending for him in some ways. Right. Right. And this is from the investigation. Now,
this is the actual government investigation. I know MLB is doing their separate investigation as
well. I don't think they're going to find anything much. You know, there was a there was a video
that was going around of the interpreter coming to the Dodgers and telling everybody what
was going what what had happened and all this kind of stuff. Yeah. There's there's a moment if
you watch that there's a very profound look at confusion on show Hey Otani's face because he
didn't understand what was going on. Yeah. That to me was like no, he didn't know what was going
on. And and that so that I mean, and that just kind of, you know, bears it out with the investigation
and everything that yeah, he was his quote unquote friend was dealing money from him to cover
gambling debts. It's such a vulnerable thing to think of. I understand this guy's got more
money than Solomon. Nobody's going to feel any empathy for him. But if you could just take a
second and have a little of your own putting yourself in those shoes of what it must be like
and everything, that's a pretty messed up situation. A friend someone you thought was like one of your
best friends was stealing from you. Anyone can relate to that. Now, it's just the the dollar
amounts were bigger because he's a rich guy. Yeah. But still he thought he was his friend, you know,
and any from a culture they come from where honor is ever is so and not everything. But it's
very important. I mean, it's just wow. It's just fascinating. I think we we could do a lot better
as a society when it comes to these things too of of waiting to see things play out. Oh,
absolutely. The idea that we you know, we do this as sports fans every football fan knows you
see the big play. What's the first thing you're doing? Where's the flag? Any flag? Okay, good. I
can celebrate. I can't celebrate until I know there's no flag because we're so used to a flag
coming out and celebrating and everything. Can't we do that with stories? Can't we do that with
for? Can we wait to see the flag? Yeah. Before you give that that opinion that you think everybody wants
to hear, you know, maybe take a second, take a beat, let it let it play out. You would want that
done for you. That's a I mean, what are we saying here? Yeah. Why do we have such a hard time
doing for others? Well, we want done for ourselves. Exactly. I know I read that somewhere.
Did I hear that somewhere? What a bumper sticker was that? We got to get to our local
at state news. We'll come back and have some more fun at the boarding show here at WFHR. Oh,
I remember now.
I want to know what you're thinking. There are some things you can't hide. I want to know what you're feeling.
Tell me what's on your mind.
Welcome back to the show, everybody. Morning show here at WFHR, locally grown radio.
Seth and James here with you. 80s Jansson. I'm telling you, man. Strong 80s presence around here.
I love it. Let's be honest, some of these songs feel good. And you have that moment of nostalgia.
You remember them and everything. And then for some of us, there's a beat or two later where you're
like, oh, God, I'm old. I always comes up, man. I remember with this song premiered. Like that kind
of feeling. And Gen Z loves reminding us that we're old. They really do. They take a lot of
joy in it. That's I think every generation does it. And honestly, I think that someone asked
people to name random signs. You're officially, quote, old now. For example, we found out last year
no one dances with their hands in the air anymore. But when did that stop? Raise your hands in the air.
Wave them around like you just don't care. Like what you can't do that if you're not hands
are in the air. What do we do? Here are a few more signs we're getting older. Like you eat
thumbs like candy. Oh, God. Yes. Yes. Oh, that's so me. Oh, that nailed me, man. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Harper and city. Do yourself a favor. Don't get the cheap generic version of thumbs.
Look at the real Tom. Yeah. It's really worth it. I did it. I saw I'll save a buck or two.
Yeah. No, it's chalk. It's just chalk. It all I swear. I feel like it is really. Let's get a little
calcium there too. Because times are full of calcium. Very true. Very true. You still print your
boarding pass just in case. I probably wouldn't do that alone in the wild. I probably would. We
still kind of do that sometimes for our kids. You know, so they have something that they can, you know,
buzz in when we go on the plane. Oh, that's fun. Yeah. But I think for I'm moving away from that now
because they're older. So now, yeah, we're using our phones. But still we did it for a long time.
Yeah. Yeah. This next one. You snap your fingers when you're trying to remember something. Oh,
dang it. I just oh, no, it's not so much when I'm trying to. It's when I do when it comes. That's
it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I do that. Yep. Totally there. Or do the repeated snap. What is that?
Yeah. Oh, that's the one. That's the one. Yes. You can't stand or sit without making some sort of
noise. Now, hold up. Hold up. Now, that's a difficult one. That's a tough one. It's very true. It
is very true. However, have you been around little kids that don't want to move? Oh,
true. Like they make tons of noise when they're moving. So, so we're just confirming that we're
going back to childhood. Yes. That's the older we get. The more close we get to be. That's actually
what's happening. Yeah. Yeah. Um, you use your speaker phone for most of your calls.
Yeah. Ouch. Ouch. But hey, who wants to hold this next to their head? I'm telling you,
um, I, I'm telling you a dare. I don't do that as much as I use my headphones when I'm calling
and talking to people. That's fine. I do that a lot. Uh, it's just as easier. My ears after 20
some years of between radio and putting headphones on for multiple hours in your drum zone.
And to be fair, the osfests that I went to and stuff as I mentioned before. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
What? That's it. Um, you're, you judge parents if their kid isn't wearing a jacket. Like
it's April. The kids should have a jacket on. What are we doing? I, I, I, I don't actually,
I don't do that because I have a child that doesn't want to wear a jacket ever. I, I'm, so he's
always like, Oh, it's going side. What, wait, what temperature is it? Tell me, you get, you need
a jacket out there. I don't take a lot. I, I, taking pride in it seems feels like a weird way to
say it. But I, I will say that I, I do take pride in the fact that I don't judge other parents.
I can genuinely say I have never done that. And you shouldn't. That's not my thing. I don't
understand. You've all made mistakes as a parent. We've all have done. Yeah. So yeah. I don't judge.
You watch the local news every night. Bonus points. If you say things like what's the world going?
I got, where's the world coming to? What is happening with the world? What do we? Oh, I gave up on
local news a long time ago. So I can, I can gleefully say that I don't do that.
I do not. You've recently stood outside a store in the morning waiting for it to open.
Yeah. Yeah. Been there. Been there. That's a good one. You start conversations with strangers in
public. No, no, I still have trouble with that one. Yeah. Yeah. That, that one's not one that I
usually, like, usually it started for me. Yeah. If someone like approaches you and starts talking,
then yeah, that's one thing. But, but, or I mean, I'm guessing that you've talked about this
before. Your dad's one of those people though that starts conversations with everybody. Yeah.
My grandpa was like that too. He's, he was absolutely like that. Yeah. I actually admire that.
I do too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think that that's really interesting. It's interesting too when
you work and talk radio and you're, you're probably experiencing some of this Melissa probably is.
It takes a couple of years, but you start to realize there's two kind of ways you hand it
to yourself off air. One, you know, when I'm talking, when I'm doing this show, the way I've always
done it, at least the only way I know how to do radio is for you out there. I'm not doing James
Radio. So these 16 segments or whatever we're doing, I'm not talking about what I want to talk
about. I'm talking about things you guys would, I find, would hopefully find interesting or entertaining
or something like that. Right. So when you finally do get the chance off air to talk, you want to
talk about the things you want to talk about. And you want to talk about them endlessly because
you're used to having to fill time. So you just keep rambling and run on sentences and driving
the people in your life crazy or silence. I'm done. I'm done talking for the day. I know it's
three o'clock in the afternoon. I'm not speaking anymore. I am, you know, I'll say something like I
got to rest my voice. Which I do. It's true. But I'm just people doubt. You just get people doubt
sometimes. Yeah. And it's part of the whole thing of working on radio. It takes a lot more energy
than you may think. It really does. Yeah. Yeah. You know exactly where your heating pad is.
I don't really use it, but I do know where it is. Yeah. Just in case, you know, it's back up. It's
a break glass in case of sore back. Yeah. Yeah. You leave the plastic on things to keep them new.
Not I've never done that. No, and I'm not going to do that one now. You've recently said,
how do you work this dang thing? Probably. I've probably said that. Yes. Yeah. It's tech savvy as
I imagine myself to be. Yeah. There's, there's times when I get out of there. You've told a server,
hey, please get my compliments to the chef. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Wait, how does that make you old? I don't
know how that makes you old though. Yeah. Yeah. I just peeped that one. You cut your juice with
water because everything's too sweet these days. I've never done that, but I do that for kids.
Like that. Do that for kids. I've done it. Mike kids and my brother sister. There is something about
that about the sweetness thing. You know, and I've never been a big sweet guy. You know, I like
desserts now. You know, it's fine. Nothing wrong with that pie. Of course, big, big for me.
But there are, I say it a lot. Man, this is too sweet. It's too sweet.
And finally, you drive by a nice house to say, well, that's a nice house.
That's a nice house. I do that a lot. I do that too. But in my defense, I've done that my whole life.
Yeah. I've always done that. I don't know. Is it just because because youngsters don't do that
anymore? Maybe it's just because they weren't raised in it. I don't know. Well, and to be fair,
youngsters, they probably realize it's very, it is very long. It's a big stretch to think that
they'll be able to own house one day. So maybe to be fair, I just realized we refer to them as
youngsters. I have that. There's another sign. There's another sign right there. Yeah. We just
proved it. Yeah. We're all right. You care about your socks. You know, you start having like
care for an adamant objects more, like a little bit. Very important to me. My socks are very
important to me. These things. Yes. And we'll do this today and tomorrow, everybody. What are other
sides that you're feeling older or something? We'll take them. We'll take them. Because guess what?
That's a good thing. It's better than the alternative. Well, or if you're like James here, where you
have to grow a beard for a role. Yeah. And I'm guessing every day you look in the mirror,
just the horror of the color of your whisker. Here's the thing with that, man. They told me last
week, hey, we want you to dye your beard. So I'm filming this weekend. So I'm sorry, on the 18th
we're filming. Okay. Our first day of filming is on the 18th. So I have until then to do that.
I'm hoping they change their mind again in between them. Because I don't want to do it. I don't
want to do it. But I also like I came out of that and I got a pretty good like self-esteem with
this gig just because I've had everything in the world said to me. And I've got to you have to
build up a tolerance to these things. I come out of that meeting with my agent and immediately go
look in the mirror. And I like, well, I thought it was, oh, wait a minute. Oh, I just like I've never
felt older in my life than after that meeting. And I like, I just can't like, I didn't think it was
that bad. I looked that much older with it. Like, it's just a numper on you. That's true.
That was that was not something I saw come. I'm telling you. And I don't know if I'm going to do it.
I really, I mean, I'm going to have to do it. It's I'm under contract. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't
really want to. Yeah. Maybe they maybe they'll they'll switch it again. Maybe we'll be lucky.
I got some time. Yeah, you do. We're going to come back and we're going to get into this study about
pat on the back. I want to touch on that. Oh, yeah. Some more fun stuff. We got some local things
we want to get to coming up on the morning show at WF HR.
Welcome back, everybody. Morning show here at WF HR. Seth and James taking it right to the top
of the hour. Some good stuff on the way.
It's realized something I really like about this song is the way she hums right before she goes
into singing. There's that little thing. I think that's really cool. I do. Yeah. That is
really cool. I don't think I thought of that before. So you saw this in every March madness game
when someone missed a free throw and their teammates would reach out and high five them anyway.
A study just found encouragement like that really does make a difference. This is maybe the most
unshocking thing I've ever read out here. Researchers looked at hundreds of free throw scenarios from
women's basketball games to see if it actually helped players make next free throw and it did.
They were more likely to sink their second shot if a teammate reached out and high five or
padded them on the back. Chances rose even more when multiple teammates did it. It didn't make a
huge difference when they made the first shot only when they missed it. Researchers think it's
because touch conveys a powerful nonverbal signal that were with you even when you miss. We have
your back. It definitely applies to other scenarios too. So remember in the next time your kid or
your friend or someone you care about feels like they failed at something. Pad them on the back.
There you go. I don't know. I think that there's two main things that pop up in my mind here.
There's literally no reason to shred me. There's no reason to get me a hard time when I mess up a name
or something like that because there's nothing you can say that is bad is what's going on in my head.
Right. Most of us are our own worst enemy and most of us need to think of that before we open our
mouths because whatever you're about to say to this person that just messed up in front of you or
something like that, you've been in that position before. And you should know that they're already
doing plenty of damage in their own brain to themselves. And even if you haven't been in that
specific situation, we have imaginations for reason people. You can get to that point where it's
like, yeah, look, yeah, you did something silly in front of two people. How about you did it on
national television? Yeah. Or you missed that that crucial. I mean, come on. Yeah. Well,
you know, put ourselves in that position. And the more like because we've heard the phrase before,
you never know what's going through another person's head or heart. You never know any of those things.
And we've heard the phrase before we are our own worst enemy. You've never heard anybody say
we're our own best friend. You never hear that. It's just a reason that's not a saying.
Yeah. Yeah. We need to try to do that. You can rewire your brain. I've done it. You can do
this. It takes a lot of time, takes patience, but it can be done. It can be done. And we can do that
for each other in society. We can rework how we do these things. In fact, it makes it a whole lot
easier if you have the reinforcement, the positive reinforcement. Nobody's talking about like,
you know, just a pad on the back, everything's okay. Even when you mess up, there's plenty of
accountability in your own head. That's what that's my main point here is that you don't need to
be the person to make this person feel accountable or any of that stuff. They're doing it. And if they
aren't, they're going to show it by messing up again and again and again. Right. That kind of
thing. Exactly. It's important how we treat each other. Yeah. It goes a long way. That's a good
story. Yeah. And so there's no segue for something like this, but just we employ, you know,
one of the things we like to do live radio for is being about to cover, cover breaking stories.
Okay. And having this one just break minutes ago, former NFL player OJ Simpson has passed away at
the age of 76 after undergoing cancer treatment. Okay. So that is a noteworthy. Yep.
This it is. I didn't want to get to some other stories and we have a lot to cover in a short
amount of time. So that's all right. It's a couple of big things going on in our area. Like I
wanted to we yesterday we had a friend Steven and Katrina hitner from Family and Natural Foods on.
They have a wonderful thing going on in just a couple of hours. India's health secrets. It's a
a great presentation that Steven and Katrina are going to be doing over at Family and Natural Foods
today. I have find out more about that and head on over there at FamilyNatureFood.com or go
ahead and like their Facebook page and Instagram pages. It's a great way to keep up the day and all
of things they're doing. Yeah. Like things like this. I head on over there and check out you can go
to India without going to India. Yeah. That's right. It's all kinds of cool stuff. Yeah. Yeah.
And big supporters of ours and we're big supporters of them. Shout out to our friends at Family
and Natural Foods. Also one of them mentioned this at the Central Wisconsin Cultural Center is a
wonderful event going on today where you can meet the author. Those are always fun. Yeah.
Visit us. Visit them at 530 today at Central Wisconsin Cultural Center. Arthur Rathburn is
going to be there. Arthur is the to a better place author. Okay. Local author. Opportunity to meet and
greet and talk with him. Very cool. That is pretty cool. And also pretty cool being able to
support your Central Wisconsin Cultural Center at the same time. You know. We're arts people as I
think by now everyone should know. We talk about it enough. So yeah. Support artists.
Encourage you to do that everybody. And help mark their 75th anniversary this year at St. Luke's
Lutheran Church in Wisconsin Rapids. They have invited Reverend Ryan Clark, a former pastor to
speak on April 13th and 14th. Pastor Clark served at St. Luke's as the associate pastor from

Assumption softball. Yes. And a quick note on that. We actually the game that they were supposed

UW Madison extensions Matt Lippert, Ag Agent over there going to join us in part two. Good stuff.
We have got some really cool fun stuff going on with our afternoons that we're working on
behind the scenes everybody. I just want to tease that to you and let you know that that is in
the process of being worked. Yeah. I do want to do a quick promo for trail tunes tonight because
I am starting a kind of a series here. I found a list from the Western Writers Association of
the top 100 Western songs of all time. I'm going to go through the entire list starting at 100
tonight everyone going through the first because of time it's going to be kind of weird but 18 the
first 18 songs I'll be playing tonight. So tune in to trail tunes at WRI from 7 to 8 and we're
going to start on that. That is very cool Matt. That's a really good idea. I like that. Let's get
to some big stories like a retired science teacher in Rochester, New York is in the news.
I just love this story. I want this story to be spread all over the place. Okay.
100 of his former students showed up to watch the eclipse with him on Monday. His name is Patrick
Moriarty. Obviously it seems a little familiar. That's great. Starting in 1978 he told his
students he'd throw a big viewing party for the eclipse in 2024 and they were all invited.
He made good on the promise this week. Had glasses for everyone and the whole thing was catered.
He says it ended up being less about the eclipse for him and more about something bigger. Oh wow.
Quote. It's about sharing. It's about the impact of teachers. It's about so much more.
Can you imagine that said and that was what what yours at 78? Yes that was yours born.
Those are 40 some odd years ago. That is so cool dude. You're going to be hard pressed to find
a better story. That's a great story. Shout out to the great teachers out there to the great
that's a beautiful story. That's wonderful. Spread the word on that story. Yes.
Spread that out there. In Happy National Pet Day again there's a place in Nashville called
Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary that takes in senior dogs that have medical issues.
It opened back in 2012 and it's completely funded by donations. Wow.
Senior year is your 12th year in school. So for their 12th anniversary this month
they threw the dogs a senior prom and called it the Geeser Dog.
Employees and everybody was dressed up for it. So were the dogs. They even elected a prom king
and queen. Oh of course. There's some great pictures out there if you'd like to see us.
Oh that's too funny man. Great show brother. We're nicely done. Have a good day.
Yeah you too man. We can do each other and we'll talk to you soon and later and get you ready for
