Good morning, Wisconsin. Good morning, world. It's a new day. Thanks for kicking it off
of us right here at WFHR, locally grown radio. Got your host, James J. I am joined by
your head of news, Melissa K. Good morning. Our head of making noises when I'm trying
to talk. Set that back. Good morning, everyone. Hitting the microphone. Great start.
Great charge of this Monday. This is actually qualified for that.
We end, of course, the best listeners in radio. Thanks for joining us, everybody. We're
to kick things off with a good friend, Brittany. Good morning, Brett. How you doing?
Good morning. I'm fantastic. You got me laughing already. That keeps making noises. It's fantastic.
It's the job. That's the job. We work really hard at that. We got to go with who we're good with.
Good at you know. We thought, hey, Seth, I think a great way to start the show would just smash
the microphone. Back your microphone. Brittany, how did you get a smash mine?
Next, you're tomorrow, Melissa. It's just you and I tomorrow. Melissa, you can do that.
Have you have a good weekend, Brittany? Oh my gosh. Did I ever felt like summer out there,
didn't it? Yeah, definitely. Definitely got outside as much as I could. Yeah, it was beautiful out
there. Yes, that helped the stress level. That bright in the mood. Put miles on people's faces.
If you didn't soak up this weekend, you have today to do so. It's going to be sunny,
still high temperatures are going to hit 70 degrees again. Oh wow. Yeah, I'll take it. Yeah,
it's going to be fantastic. The only downfall is no burning. Watch for your cigarette butt.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah. It was very, very high risk today with those winds starting to increase
tonight. And it's going to be really, really windy tomorrow and wet. That's good news.
Hopefully this big rainfall. I mean, we're looking at one to two inches of widespread rain.
And our way. This is this is a mud boots, rain boots, umbrella kind of weather.
Yeah, all right, galoshes. We need it for sure. Yeah. Yeah, but where you find galoshes,
even nowadays. Sweet farm. That's probably true. We probably go to minars maybe.
Something like that. We appreciate you, Brittany. Your weather and shopping.
Yeah, we're just going to actually, if you guys don't mind, let's just start over.
Let's just start off that. Thank you, Brittany. We appreciate you.
She's the best of the business and the best they've put it up with me. She really is good at
always leaving laughing. Really good. Really good. We had a, we have a lot of show to get to today.
We're going to have some fun with it. We got the L Cafe birthday and anniversary club right
around the corner, looking forward to diving into that with everybody. We'll also get into a
couple of other things. It's tax day. Oh, God, no. Wait a minute. It's today. Yes. I haven't had
three and a half months left yet already. There might be some people that are surprised.
I'm sure there are. And I don't know how to feel bad for them. I really don't. It's every year,
you know, a part of it. Yeah. But I'll be honest, I forgot a lot. It took me, I've never,
I've never gotten this close to the dealt to do date as I did this year. And I, I have no excuse.
I not only talk about this stuff on the air, but I, our United Way has, am I free taxes? Yeah.
And I'm promoting the heck out of that. I got no excuse. None. I, so we'll talk about that a
little bit later, looking forward to it. We'll also get into the percentage. Yeah. This is one
just for us, you two. This is just for okay. All right. 30% of CEOs are thinking of shifting
away from the five day work week. Oh, okay. When this finally happens, because I do believe it
will finally happen, do we get to take credit? Do the three of us? Do we get to like really
a little slice? Just a little sliver. Sliver. You know, yeah. Austin Bernie Sanders. Yeah. That's
a good way to put it. He's got a bigger platform than we do. I'm telling you, you know,
and the eight o'clock hour here, that'll take us through to the nine. And of course,
it will kick off the nine o'clock hour with the kitchens open. Our wonderful segment, the Melissa
HasForce. We have a really, a really important one, I think today. To me, it is. I think it is.
And I think that you out there are going to want to hear it. We're going to have some fun talking
with that and kick off the nine o'clock hour. Have a little bit of entertainment news in that nine
o'clock as well. And I want to also continue the food talk a little bit unintentionally. Okay.
I can't say I plan that part. All right. Four healthy foods that aren't as healthy as you might
think. And the three healthiest and least healthy condiments. We're going to get an all that.
Okay. Talk a little food in the nine o'clock hour. Okay. Although I can guess what's the healthiest,
but I'll hold on. Okay. Okay. I'm looking for you to all of that. How is the week? Everybody's
weekend. Melissa, I was a week. Oh, it was beautiful. We got some outside stuff done and a lot of
resting. That's always good. Much needed. Yeah. Weekends are good for that. Oh, that sounds
really nice. They're really, really. Very cool. Very cool. How was your stuff? It was good. The
weather outside was delightful. And we, my whole family spent, especially my kids, man, they were
outside a lot this weekend, which is good for us. Yes. Yeah. Make some tired. Keep some out of the house.
You know, what can we do to get them to, you know, just get some energy out? What is it exactly,
man? I'm wondering if, you know, most people when they get those exercise machines, especially the
track or the running one, and then they have it for a couple of months and then it just sits in
it. It becomes a hanger. Yep. Just put stuff on. You hang things out of you. You had clothes out
of that kind of thing. Should we, should we, have we been like marketing those wrong? Like in the winter
months, should those be designed for children? Should they, like, just, just work kids like to the,
maybe find different ways to do it. Yeah. That's a good thing. You've seen the ones that are like a big
wheel that cats can run out. You need a big one of their kids. The old hamster wheel. Yeah. Yeah.
If you think about like Peloton and all those bikes and everything, all you'd have to do is just
read a little redesigning, like make them like cars and get exactly where the wheel can be like a
bubble. Yeah. Yeah. Just just turn it, like, make it a video game on the screen instead of someone
shouting at you, you know? Yes. Yes. Yes. You know, they're that instead. Get some energy out. Yeah.
I also feel like though, if they did all those things, adults would want to play on them more.
Adults would want to use the more. See? It's long advocated for workout video games.
You know, I don't know who I have to keep telling to do it to make these. They will sell.
We'll be rich. I would play that. That's very specific. Yeah. To me, and some video game,
at least I don't know. I really never thought. I think the only time I ever got it wrong with
a video game system because I've thought every one of these, well, they're going to evolve.
They're going to come out with another one. The Wii, I really thought was like, well,
I wasn't a big Wii guy. I didn't enjoy it that much, but the popularity of it and the way
people were able to enjoy moving around and everything, I thought, well, that's the future gaming.
Everything's going that direction. I was wrong. No, I didn't actually work out. No, no,
but I really did think that because in part also because there were so many, like, I remember
after about a year or two, hearing about retirement homes and in places like that, having Wii
bowling and people were exercising and getting out of their chair more and everything.
So I really thought, oh, this is the next. This is going to go so far. I don't know if you
mean people play the Wii anymore. Well, too many Wii controllers went through television.
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, man. I actually think Melissa, you'd have an easy sell on that if anything,
just the data from that, from the Wii and how many people were more active in using it.
But the problem is, is they did workout games. True. True. You don't need a workout game.
You need Tomb Raider where when you fight, you're doing a workout motion, but you're doing a game.
Mm-hmm. It's not a workout game. You're not peddling a bike down a trail.
Maybe VR. Maybe VR will help us that. Maybe. Maybe. Just don't do any living room. Watch out
everybody. Mark Zuckerberg is certainly hoping it will. They're putting into that well,
they call it the men. The men. The men. Yeah. The men. The men fail. Yeah. They might as well just
call it fail. Yeah. Just call it fail. Like that's all it is. At this point, we're just going with
one lettered things now. So. Yeah. Right. Right of. Last Friday, Terry and I were touching on this
subject. And I had to bring it back for you guys and our audience. In part because I just think
it's really interesting. And I love when this happens in society where it's something we feel we
know but we can't prove. Mm-hmm. And then science proves it for us. Ooh. New debt. New
debt is shows that grocery shopping on an empty stomach costs you an extra $26 per trip on average.
Wow. Is that all? Wow. It seems like yeah. Right. It's me more than that.
From your personal experience that may seem low when you're hungry, you go and think I need to
stay. I need to stick to my list, but you never do. 76% of people agree that they're more likely
to spend more if they shop while hungry. And about 60% say that they're also likely to buy more
unhealthy foods. Mm-hmm. The research also found that the average person makes two grocery runs
per week with a budget of 162, although that's vague because they don't break down how they maybe
change depending on the size of the household and all that. Right. I'm probably going to spend a
lot more than Seth is going to spend. I'm just buying for myself. You are I'm for four. You know,
yeah, right. Exactly. So don't get into the details of that, but that's not the important part.
The important part is that we were right. We were all right. Everybody has said. Yes.
Feel that joy. Take the win, everybody, because your brain has always been telling you, oh,
I shouldn't go to grocery shopping hungry, but we do it all the time. And in a lot of the time,
I think we kind of, I don't want to say beat ourselves up. That's a little too dramatic, but
we kick ourselves for like, oh, it's silly. I can still go grocery shopping. It's not a big deal.
26 bucks difference. Well, and look at that. If the average is 162 a week,
26, that's not, hey, I mean, that's a chunk of that. So that's that's insane. So you know, I think
of, you know, James, when I was single and I would say, you know, for me, it's more like, wow,
I'm hungry. I should have I have to go to the grocery store because I have no food. Yes. So
so that it was like, oh, now you're really getting yourself into trouble. I had a thing of arm
and hammer and chocolate milk in my freezer for the refrigerator. That was it. That's it. That's
pretty much for the longest. I think I had some waffles and some cheese fries. Like I was about it.
I'm pretty sure I had to think of merit error somewhere, but no noodles. Yeah, yeah. How old is that?
You know what we beat ourselves up more, though, for when when we're home from the grocery store.
And it's late in the night. And you kick yourself for not buying the snacks.
Oh, yeah. Because you're healthy self when shopping. Yes. And you're snack-y self then once.
Man, I want something. Yeah, give me some. I you're not kidding about that. I did that with
some cookies like last week. Oh boy. I still want. I still am kicking myself that I should have eaten.
I are bought. I you know, I wonder if if something like this, if we do take a little bit more time
to think about this before growing grocery shopping, this could lead to less food waste.
Because leave it to me to take it to a serious place. Of course. But it is an issue and it is
something that we do. We worry about, but we don't really put a whole lot of focus and time into
as a society. We are getting I think that like a lot of things, we're getting better about this
because we as individuals. We've all heard stories of a restaurant that at the end of the night
with their food, they give it to a homeless shelter. Right. Or a lot of a lot of grocery stores.
For those that don't know, that produce you see out there and it's going to be out there
tomorrow. Like 90% of that produce has to be either sold or you know just getting gotten rid of.
For a freshness, yeah. Right. And so much of it is for display. You know, they don't expect
to sell like 80 things of cabbage. They just have those sitting out there. So a lot of grocery
stores will donate those to food shelters. We're seeing more and more of these things happening.
So it's really cool to see. Yes. But it's kind of a correcting of shooting ourselves in the
foot sort of thing. It's one of those, I wonder if this would lead to more of that on a personal
basis. There's obviously the larger scale of this that, you know, I'm not sure how you tackle that.
But any chance we can try to find ways to improve on this and stop wasting so much dang food
yeah, seems like a good idea. Hasn't anybody seen Mad Max? I mean, the dystopian future.
I'm putting a gas for some reason, but I want to see one movie where the dystopian future is good.
Just one. Just just one. It doesn't feel like, oh, no, no, no, see there's nothing
you're inherently dramatic about that apparently. Yeah, it turns out all working really hard to
save the planet work. It worked. It's like a half an hour movie. Yeah, it's like, mostly just
credits. Yeah, we will be nice. It went nice. It went big. It's going to be nice to celebrate all
of you coming up with the L Cafe birthday anniversary club. That's on the way right here on the
morning show at WFHR. It's time to do some celebrating with the birthday and anniversary club.
Our friends over at L Cafe are waiting for you. Treat yourself head on over there right now.
There are 221 market avenue and beautiful poor dead words. We should have a good morning from
all of us at WFHR. Check out maybe their chicken dumpling special they have today or the Greek
scramble are on pita. I'm sorry. What was that Melissa? Sorry. She was drooling in the background.
Drooling about chicken dumpling because it's probably my favorite soup, but then you said what?
A Greek scramble are on pita. That's something even better. I'll meet you there, Melissa. I'll
meet you there. This will be good. You got this. You got this. You got this. It's all mine.
Here's the paperwork. I'm leaving now, Melissa. If you wait another 5-10 minutes and you'd
probably meet there on time. We encourage you to head on over to L Cafe everybody. We're saying
a great place. We encourage you to do so. Of course, get us those birthdays and anniversary. We
want to celebrate with you info at WFHR.com. You can email us to them. You can send them to us
there or james.mailoffice.media.us. Reach any of our staff using that kind of way.

715-424-2600. Love hearing from all of you. Love when you are able to join us during the hour
and celebrate these birthdays live. We have a lot of fun with that. Feel free to do so everybody.
Yes indeed. We have two possible qualifiers on our list. Seth, I need a one or a two.
One today. All right, gives us that qualifier. First up, we want to wish happy birthday to Pam's nephew,
Matthew Hilke. Hey, happy birthday Matthew. Sorry, Matthew. You are not able to qualify.
Because your mom is the heart of this. I'm sorry, your aunt is the heart of this station.
But we really wish you a happy birthday, Matthew. Yes, we do. Absolutely.
Have a great day, Matt. And we wish happy birthday to Amber Greys.
Happy birthday, Amber. Happy birthday, Amber. Enjoy your day, Amber. Hope it's a good one.
And celebrating their anniversary. We don't have a number here, so we're just going to go ahead and say
a wonderful anniversary. A happy anniversary to Bruce and Carlyne Rosenthal.
Happy birthday, Bruce and Carlyne. Yeah, congratulations.
I hope you guys have a fantastic anniversary. Wonderful, wonderful day to you both. Love that.
I want more anniversaries. Get more of them to us everybody. We love celebrating with you.
Wait, they got married on tax day. Oh, that's rough. Oh, wow. Now that's an interesting story.
I like to hear how they ended up being married. I want to hear that story.
Yeah, I want to hear that story. And I actually, you know, I mean, talk about a reason to look
forward to tax day. That's right. That would give you a reason to look forward to it.
Oh, taxes. But it's only one. Yeah, that's, that's, that's some celebrity birthdays we dive into
right now. Like Macy Williams is 27. Arya Stark on Game of Thrones. Stole that show. Stole that
show from everybody. There was, there were, there were some legendary actors out there and some
incredible Thespians on that show. And that young lady stole every single scene she was in.
In my opinion, just my opinion. I was blown away. I don't even know if I would have kept watching
Game of Thrones. If it wasn't for a couple of the actors that were so impressive to me. And she
is number one on that list. Very cool. I'm hopeful that she doesn't get tired of acting.
Or something like that continues to work because I would love to see her in her 30s, her 40s.
I'd love to see what she could do working constantly on the craft. She's got a, she's actually
been in a couple of music videos and done some incredible acting in those. This is a heck of a young
lady. Heck of a heck of an actor. And she's actually got to be impressive. I, I am DB page. Yeah. Yeah.
And another great young actor. And that is young anymore. But young we met her Emma Watson is 34.
Her mine, her miney is 34 everybody. Wow. Bella on the live action beauty in the beast. Emma Watson
still works quite a bit. But she's not working as much. I don't know if she unlike like there's
a couple of actors from the Harry Potter series. But you hear this from young actors from time to time.
They love acting, but they don't love the business. Oh, yes. Yes. And she's, she's got been
involved in many other things. I mean, if you could just look up just what she does. I mean,
she's involved in so much stuff. And then she acts what she wants to kind of thing. So yeah.
I, I've been tinkering on something and working with a couple of teachers at Second City to work
on possibly a director's cut episode about the, the shift at so many big name actors are making
the theater. There's more and more of that. It's not just Broadway. It's where we're talking
independent theaters, community theaters. Right, right. More and more of that. Which is, which is cool.
With it's, it's, it's, I hear this with athletes growing up a lot around my dad that you have a
passion and a love for something. And then you find out about the business part of it. And I,
I think like there, this is not me judging others or there are, are love or anything like that.
But I do think that you find out if you really love this game or not, like doing this. Radio is
no different. Radio, a lot of the time you find that out in radio because you start out with no
paycheck. You start out making nothing. Right. And you, if you really love the job, you find out
if you want to stick with it or not. Some, it's, that's not to say, well, if you loved it,
you would have stayed with it. Not everybody can. There are different factors to those things.
Right. But it really does show you. Hey, are you in it for the fame or are you in it because
you love this craft? You love this skill. They're doing this. Right, right, right.
Seth Rogan is 42. But so many movies, so many things we can mention. He is done a lot of voice
acting over the years. Pumba and a Lion King remake, Mantis and the Kung Fu Panda movies.
One of the greatest laughs you'll hear in entertainment. I genuinely, I would not be surprised if
we were watching an interview with Seth Rogan. And all of a sudden, he did one of those unzipping
things. He unzipped his face and all that. He turned it into, he was a muppet. Yeah.
I wouldn't surprise actually a muppet. It wouldn't surprise me. I enjoy Seth Rogan. I think he's great.
And as he jokes around, not a lot of Jewish Canadians, not a lot, he's representing a very niche
market right there. Luke Evans is 45, Gaston and Beauty in the Beast, the Bard in the Hobbit movies,
Dracula, Dracula, Untold Owen in the Festina Furious movies. Luke Evans is a good actor. Man,
he's working. Yeah, he's doing lots of work. I like him. He's a good actor. Chris Stapleton is 46
today. Country music superstar. Okay. We are playing Tennessee whiskey for him over on the
Sunrise show. He was fantastic on Saturday Live this weekend. Like he was really good on there.
Not only obviously performing live, he's very good at that. But he did a sketch and he was in
some stuff and seemed to have a good time. Seems to be really enjoying life. You're one of the things
about doing this show all the time or doing this segment. Is you realize people that are the same
ages you? And I say mages, Chris Stapleton, I didn't know that. Yeah. Crazy wouldn't that happen.
Ed O'Brien is 56, a band member from Radiohead. Oh, yes. Linda Perry is 59.
Linda Perry, of course, lead singer from 49 Blonds. Fabulous songwriter. Oh, she's been behind
the scenes in so many acts. She's worked with Katie Perry. I mean, I can't list them all,
but she's an amazing songwriter for songwriting partners with Arianna Grande, Dolly Parton,
Juan de Day, Adele, Christopher Hillhouse. Yes. She wrote what's up. Of course,
there are 49 Blonds, but again, but also pinks. Let's get the party started.
A Christian Aguilera is beautiful. And she is married to Sarah Gilbert. I didn't know that. That's
interesting. Oh, was married. I'm sorry. Ended in 2021. Yikes. Wow, they get update this. Yeah,
no kidding. I apologize. And another legendary actress Emma Thompson is 65 today. Mrs.
Pots in Beauty and the Beauty and the Beast birthday. Emma Emma Emma. You both have the same
birthday. That's kind of cool. I didn't know that so much. Yeah, I'm a Thompson. I actually just
watched an anime movie last night. Got so many kids that enjoyed that one. Of course,
the woman who wrote Mary Poppins and all that. That's a very good one. She was also in the
Harry Potter movies. Emma Thompson. I just realized that. She's with the other Emma too. Yeah,
she's in all this stuff. I love how she plays. She's not afraid to play characters where she
is like not necessarily the villain, but she doesn't. She's not pretty. I wrote. She's a gorgeous
woman. This is years ago. I got to see if I can find it. But when the dynamic fee, I think,
first came out or something, or it was one of the movies where she did. And she played
character with a bunch of makeup on and all that. And they were asking her about that. And she was
saying how it was a man interviewing her. And she looked at it and she said, I don't know if you'll
understand this or something like that. But there's power and there's a power in taking control
of your appearance and taking control of these things and not being controlled by them.
And there's something that was so wonderful. Yeah. I was just watching because I like her.
And I like hearing interviews where I didn't expect to be blown away. She's not just a great actor
at all that. She's got a heck of a brain. Like she's a really, really incredible smart person.
Let's see. And then some people no longer with us. Like the great Roy Clark, one of the
stay in 1933. He ha a superstar. We're just, we had he ha last Friday as our little Roy Clark.
Oh, man. He's great. Yeah. This is impressive stuff when you look at Roy Clark's career.
Elizabeth Montgomery born in this day in 1933, pressed way in 1995. Samantha Stevens on Bewitched.
Mm-hmm. And I think Sam.
Nicely not. Nice. And I think, you know, whether you realize it or not, one of your biggest
influences out there, everybody, because no matter who you were influenced by, they were
influenced by Leonardo da Vinci, who was born in this day in 1452, passed away in 1519. Yeah.
Almost every single creative person in for decades, for centuries, has been influenced by
Leonardo da Vinci. Yes. His notebook is a work of, it's poetry. It's poetry. It's incredible.
It's incredible. It's science. It's all, it's all everything. Oh, yeah. Very, very far ahead of
his time. At this point in the game, there are few people who were not influenced by him from
Shakespeare too, to just a million different voices, a million different people that we can bring
up and talk about. And so at this point, chances are anybody that has influenced you was influenced
by Leonardo da Vinci. At some point, at some point, yeah. I don't think that there are many
people, individuals in history, we can say that about. But yeah, that kind of influence.
Yeah. It's true. It was also pretty generally well-loved. Yeah. Yeah. There's not a lot of that
with, with a lot of historical people either, though. Because we always share like, oh, they did
amazing things. But as a person, they were. They were a jerk. Yeah. Right.
By all rights, everything that has ever been written or said about Da Vinci, not only a good person,
somebody that believed in sharing a lot of these ideas. Da Vinci was a big believer in, oh,
I don't need the credit. It doesn't need to be a, brought to you by Da Vinci. You know, it doesn't
need to be that stuff. It was a big up branding. Yeah. I got this cool idea. What do you guys think?
That's the way I, I don't know, that's, I love those are the kind of creative people I like
working with. I know if he was a Renaissance man enough that he used the word cool, but maybe.
I do like that. In fact, he was so good. He somehow, somehow, even though he had some pretty crazy
ideas, didn't get the church mad at him. And I'm not sure how he did that pull that off. But, you know,
the stats. There's a podcast that I listened to, our fake history. And they got into that a little
bit. And how Da Vinci was also really good at just, I don't want to say schmoozing, but at
understanding, hey, I got to, I got to, I got to wax this, I got to, I got to rub this wheel.
I got to kind of, you know, these things work diplomatic. Let's put it that way. Yeah.
I got attacked. Yeah. Exactly. We, one more time, wish a happy birthday to Pam's nephew, Matthew
Hilke. Happy birthday. Happy birthday, Matthew. Happy birthday to Amber and a happy anniversary to
our qualifiers, Bruce and Bruce and Carlyne Rosenthal. Congratulations. Happy birthday, anniversary.
Celebrate it all and joy and joy over to L Cafe. Yes, get on over to L Cafe right now.
Over a 221 market avenue in beautiful ported words. Wish them a great day from all of us here at WFHR.
Welcome back, everybody. We're very well done. Morning show here on WFHR.
Locally grown radio. Seth, you need to stop hitting James.
His timing was perfect. I know. We had it just right on the beat right in the
song. Good right. Welcome back to the show, everybody. Seth Melissa and James here with you.
We hope you have enough fantastic Monday out there. Thanks for hanging out with us on this
tax day. And that's what we're diving into right now. All right. The deadline to file your taxes
is today. Today. If you're doing them last minute, we will keep you company. You're working
seriously on them right now. And it's not like we're going to say a bunch of numbers while you
tried to do math. We're going to 35, 32, 65, I actually 13. You guys are mean.
Well, to be fair, if they're listening to us while they're trying to do their taxes,
I don't know. And it's tax day. It is the smartest idea. Three and a half months.
My first, how I got over at Second City is the silliest story you're going to hear. But I was
struggling. I wasn't doing that good. And I went up on stage and I had to come up with a character
right there, right then. And no time. Nothing. Go up there. Do it just by yourself. I'm
anybody to work from. And I'm up there. And I'm in doing this in Chicago. So my brain immediately
goes to my youth and hanging around my uncle and a lot of my family. And you know, I came from
a little bit of a came from an Italian family. So we'll just leave it at that. And a lot of nicknames.
Everybody in the mob, everybody in the Italian family has got nicknames and all that.
And I start thinking of, well, what's a weird one? What's a silly one? And for some reason,
Joey Numbers pops up in my head. And it's just a guy who can't every time, you know,
hey, how are you doing? I'm doing okay. 45. Like after everything he says, he says a number.
I had that character brought back a dozen times. Oh wow. I would say around January, February,
I had a student asked to bring him back. And I brought him back. And it was, it was, it was
Joey Numbers. Now, I wanted to do Joey Numbers do it as taxes, though. I never thought of that.
According to a new survey for tax day, 47% of us procrastinate or delay doing our taxes.
The average person spends eight hours just stressing about it each year.
43% of us will spend more time avoiding them than we would take time to buckle down and actually
get them done. So stop delaying or file for an extension to keep procrastinating for another six
months. There you go. We, this is interesting. So this, that we do, this procrastinating,
all this stuff, it actually, you know, and like they say here, it would take about as much time
to get them done as we do spending procrastinating. How many times do we do this with criminals?
Like the amount of thought and time it takes to pull this hustle off or whatever. And then they get
caught, of course. And we're like, well, God, if you put that much time and effort into actually
finding a job, you might actually, you know, be able to make a living and be free. It's kind of
funny. Yeah. Right. The amount of times we do these kind of things as human beings, you know,
is just mind boggling and not surprising at all. And we're all guilty of it. I think at some
point, you know, there's just something we don't want to do. We know we have to and we just put
a, I don't want to, you know, I don't think procrastinating is just a, like I think that it is
something that literally every human being can relate to. I think some are worse than others.
We've all been there. One point or another. Yeah. I mean, as your kid, no, I don't want to take a
bath. I don't want to take a bath. Right. Right. Do you want to pick up these two things off the floor?
Yes. Yeah. Take you 10 minutes to clean your room. But you've been up there for an hour.
Just complaining about cleaning your room. Right. I just want to get through this level. I just
saving a couple bucks won't make up for all that money. You may have forked to the government
or may not. But a bunch of places have tax day deals today. So kind of having some fun with the
thing. I personally, I like when people do these kind of things. It's not necessarily a day we
celebrate. But hey, here's some things to look forward to kind of thing like that couple with
their celebrating their anniversary today. Yeah. Right. Krispy Kreme is getting most of the press
for their buy one get one dozen deal. Buy a dozen donuts at full price and you get a second dozen
for just the sales tax who matter the state that's over 90% off. They say they also did it last
year. Wow. That's it. That's actually a decent deal. Yeah. That is. We got to like send a
shout out to Krispy Kreme. I don't know anybody who overall does but deals better than Krispy Kreme.
Like every time where they come up, there's something and it seems to be like user friendly.
Like you know, it works well with their customers and great PR. First of all, second of all,
I mean, donuts are not that expensive to make. Yeah. Especially when you have like the conveyor,
I mean, they have the whole system where they do it and some of the stores you can watch them
actually make them. Yeah. But I mean, yeah, I mean, it's like, dude, we have something that's
pretty cheap here. We can do stuff like this. It's not a big deal. Plus their donuts. Yeah.
Yeah. And Krispy Kreme donuts are really, really, really, really good. Yeah. They're so good.
It's, they're kind of scary how good they are. Yeah. It's true. It's funny. It's a good thing. I
don't live near one. Making making the donuts maybe think of the a different company, but the old
commercial love up time to make the donuts. Yeah. Yeah. Grubhub has a $15 deal for April 15th,
spend at least $25 and use the code tax break on qualifying orders. That's one limb,
that one's limited to the first thousand people who use it though. That's I hate when they do
those things. I know. Come on. BJ's restaurant in Brewhouse has a $10.40 deal, $10 off any $40
purchase. California Pizza Kitchen has a similar one with the $10.40. Okay.
Dave and Busters has 50% off all food between today and April 28th. If you're a rewards member,
White Castle has 15% off for April 15th. If you use the code, if you use a code with them and
the competitor crystal has a buy one get one slider deal. Who's crystal? What is this?
Weirdly a white castle. They're like White Castle a lot. Yeah. What foolishness
and my seek here of quote unquote competitor for for White Castle. White Castle has no competitor.
There really isn't. There is no competitor. No one wants to compete with this is partially true,
but yes. I actually know people who that is their favorite restaurant. Absolutely. I got
relatives that that's the only place they will eat fast food. They will not eat fast food anywhere
but White Castle. I have nothing against White Castle. Good stuff. I never eaten there. Look,
I mean, I don't know if there's really any even taste to a slider. I love it. They put the onions
on man. Yeah. The onions make it pretty good. Only thing I eat with onions on it. The only thing
I eat is a White Castle burger. Yeah. If you didn't, there wouldn't be you're right. I don't
think they're being flavor. And I don't even know if I taste the onions. I don't even know if I
really know it. If somebody like I've eaten probably more White Castle hamburgers than any other
hamburger possibly and I could not tell you what they taste like. I got here's something. Here's
something that I don't know what this says about it. You can go you know at the store. They have
frozen White Castle things you can heat up. They taste exactly the same. It's insane. They do. Exactly
the same. It's the only product like that. Yes. Any other product you buy from a rest or you know
the guy from home kind of thing doesn't taste anything like. Nope. Somehow. Yeah. Those taste
exactly. I'm not sure that means that's about White Castle burgers. But we will get to a time
out here. We will we'll love to hear from you guys though. Well, yeah. Not only about tax
deals if you hear of any or if there's any local businesses in town here that are doing that.
Please feel free to call us up whether you advertise with us or not. We'd love to hear from you.
Yeah. Maybe you might want to advertise with us. But feel free to reach out to us. We'd love
to hear from you. We'll come back and we'll have some more fun on the morning show. We're going to
get in when we come back. I want to get into this the five day work week. We're going to talk. Oh,
yeah. Yeah. Coming up on the morning show here at WFHR. Welcome back everybody. Morning show here
at WFHR locally grown radio. Melissa, Seth and James hanging out with you. We up here having a good
one out there. We are going to we're looking forward to taking you to the top of the hour in the
nine o'clock hour. We will kick things off with the kitchens open. Looking forward to that. Yeah.
An important conversation we'll be having with that one. And afterwards we'll have some entertainment
news. Then write stories. Good stories of the day. Plenty more we'll get into. I want to get into
this one though. And this is kind of like part 20 of our continuing series of four day work weeks.
Yeah. Was your two day weekend long enough or could you really use a third day off right now? A new
poll of 100 CEOs found 30% are seriously thinking about shifting away from the five day work week now.
So again, poll of 100 CEOs found 30% of them looking towards going away from that. That's how many
said that they're considering a four day or four and a half day week. Okay. Four and a half usually
means Friday and hour a half day depending on your job. Right. Right. A lot of us would even be
willing to work the same number of hours to make it happen. So more hours in the day. Got you.
Longer days. A poll in November asks people if they'd be willing to work 10 hour days, four days
a week. 77% said it would have a positive impact on their life, including almost half who said
extremely positive. Okay. A lot of businesses, especially in the textile industry and that are going
to the three day work week where you do 12 work three days, work 12 hours, get a couple days off.
Yeah. Right. It's a longer period time off. A lot of factories have always done that kind of work.
A lot of night shift jobs do that kind of work. So it's not like we haven't proven that we can do
this and it can work. Yeah. My brother-in-law is a police officer and I believe they do a six
on three off kind of thing. And those are normal eight hour days, but they have a little extended
and then they have extended break too. So yeah. How much of this do we have we've been doing
this way just because we have always been doing it this way? Oh, absolutely. Oh man. I think a lot of
it. Yeah. Yeah. Our parents and our grandparents lifetime. Right. Yeah. But that's just that yeah,
I mean, that's what I'm thinking here. Exactly. Because when I hear from CEOs or when I hear from
just individuals, even local owners of companies and businesses and stuff, so many of them
sound like they forgot what it's like to work. So many. Well, you got to do this. You got to do
that. You got to they don't they don't there's no self accountability. I don't remember the last
time I heard a CEO go up there and say, well, I did this wrong. I did this. When all we're taught
is everything starts from the top. We're taught that from business 101, like almost in grade school,
we are taught that. And yet when we hear from these CEOs, the only I mean, every single one of them
as soon as they open their mouths, they become a sound bite and say something knuckleheadish or
something like that. So I actually find it improved an improvement just that they're even talking
about this. I don't know if in our lifetimes, we're going to see it. I think we will. I believe
we will. But we're seeing it in other countries. Yeah. Yeah. It's it's starting to get more prevalence
elsewhere. So I mean, it'll be interesting to see the fact that that we have that that number,
that 30, which is up 30% of 100 to 30 CEOs. But yeah, it is. But I'm going to go back to what James
said. Okay. It's one of those things where you know, it's like, we've done it. Why? Because this
is the way we've always done it kind of thing. These were decisions that were made. This is not
an organic thing. Okay. The eight hour, the eight hour day, the five day a week, 40 hour work
week is not something that's in nature. It's not something that just appears. This is, this is
something that was created by a decisions. These were decisions that were made. So we can change
those everybody. They can be changed as what's the really wild goose go around on its eight hour
work day. I love the idea of the animals doing that. I'm done. I like the idea we learned
different animals. Yeah, like animals work eight hour, eight hour work. Yeah, like that. Well,
but you know, that was created from what was it before? Uh, you work from sun up to sun,
yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Because that's that's the daylight hours. People had to fight like heck
to change that. Yeah. They did. And and people died to use that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let's uh,
hear what you have to say. Good morning. You're on the air. I do. Do you want to hear what I say?
Yeah. Sure we do. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, where would you have your day off?
Would you want to on Friday or Monday? Hmm. Or does it matter in the end? If you're
get used to a four out of four day work week, does it matter? I'm 47. It doesn't matter to me.
Like, you asked me 20 years ago. I'd say Friday. Right. Yeah. Now it's like,
whatever. What would you prefer? You know, you know, that's the thing. You know, okay,
so you say your Thursday will be your Friday. But then so you get Monday. But then if you have
Monday off, then you're gonna like, Oh, I hate Tuesdays. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. It would just switch
the day, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think a lot of us do that. Whether it's in our teens or in
our 20s, one of some of those first jobs, we work our weekend becomes a different time of the week.
Exactly. It's a shift or what have you. Yeah. But for you, man, and where you're in in this
one, do you think that this is realistic? Do you think that something like this could actually
happen in our lifetime? See the whole four, going to a four day work week, that being normalized?
On some, on some industries. Yeah. I think some industries you can. Others, I mean,
transportation, I really don't think you're able to do that. I mean, the UPS postal, I mean,
it just, I don't think it could, you can go. Convenient stores, grocery stores.
Right. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, certainly. I think if you're looking at lawyers,
city workers, I mean, city workers, they probably get away with it unless, you know,
unless Mother Nature really screws that a little bit. Like the traditional white collar jobs. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think I don't think it could really do it. I mean, you see it,
you know, you do see it with some factory work, you know, how they, like you said, they do their
shift differently, you know, three out, two off, two on, three off, you know, that type of deal.
I, I want to send a shout out to 89.9 WSBT in the Great Week and they had with their trivia.
Great. We listened to it quite a bit this weekend. They did a really good job.
Some of those DJs were on the air for like hours and hours and hours. And I've never thought about
this before. But what if we did, they tried to do that with our job? We're on the, we're on the,
we're on the air for 12 hours and a shift. Oh, forget it. Oh, my God. That would be painful to
listen to. That would be awful. I can't imagine our eight. No. That's like, forget it, man.
We're talking weather again, everybody. We go over the temps yet. Here's the temps again.
Temps every five minutes. Yeah. That's all it is now. That's all weather radio now.
Uh, there's certain industries as you were saying. Yeah. I don't think that it would work very
well with, but I appreciate the feedback as always. You get a chance calls for playmakers later.
Oh, yeah. We'll do. Appreciate it. Have a great morning. Yeah.
I, I, I, that's an interesting part of this, I think. I'm thinking of the industries that
could and couldn't. And if I, you know, some, I almost any industry could do this if they
had enough people. Ah, that's the thing. That's the rub. Yep. Exactly. And why do people not work for
certain businesses, certain companies, most of the time it has to do with pay and then offering
a minimum wage. Yep. So I'm all like just had an epiphany here. And I can't believe this.
And I'm so glad I'm in the air to be able to share the word and please spread the word about
this, everybody. Maybe we should raise them in a wage. Wow. Just here, ladies, gentlemen,
you witnessed it. Yeah. Everyone's in a while. Thanks for solving all our problems.
He's so good at it. You're welcome, everybody.
She's taking victory lap. I had Fred joking with, uh, we were watching the, the, uh, the NFL
when they first started putting the end racism and the end zone in the room. Yeah, right.
And he's African-American. We're watching the game and stuff. And he's like, well, racism, salt.
Yeah. Hey, no problem. We got from the work past that. All right. Let's say NFL.
If only if only we were that easy. I don't know. I'm excited about the fact that we're talking
about this as much as we are because as silly as this may sound, it was about two years ago,
when we've, the three of us first started talking about this. And at that time, we were,
it was laughable. The idea of it happening. So in just actually being implemented in other
countries, in a lot of places. Yes. Yes. So I don't think we do this enough in life.
Let's take the win. Let's take some, let's, let's take some positive from this. Let's,
try to focus on that part of it. Right. Um, there are certainly a lot of negatives we can focus on,
but now I do want to put out there for the people that are worried, uh, about James specifically
and his, uh, work, holism. Um, uh, even if he didn't have to work, you know, five days a week here,
he, he'll fill the time with something. We know he will find something to fill the time with.
No, no, no, working. He'll find a job. He'll find something more to do. So if for those,
just relax everyone. It's okay. James will be busy. Thank you. No matter what. Thank you.
Thank you. I appreciate that. I put it out there. You know, people worry about you.
There, there is, uh, there is an overwhelming fear of, for people of,
can't do this. I broke, I broke, I broke. I broke in part, in part, it's not my fault, though,
because I was looking at her next story. Okay. Our next story. I, I defy any of you to look at
the pictures of from this story and not smile or laugh or what have you. Uh, we have one more
eclipse story for everybody. Mm hmm. One unusual soldier eclipse spectator who watched the sun
disappear in Arkansas is going viral for their, her particular tiny pair of protective glasses
and her feathered form, uh, Ted Fenley of Amity, uh, watched the eclipse of Monday with his pet chicken.
Gertrude. Uh, Gertrude was in his arms wearing their, her own pair of eclipse protection glasses
that he made. Oh my gosh. Uh, uh, Fenley sister Caroline, uh, snapped a photo of this scene and
posted it on social media, earning Gertrude several new fans.
Fenley told, uh, the, uh, local TV station there that Gertrude was so excited by her first
soldier eclipse that she laid an egg during the event. Oh my, oh my goodness. Funny. The brother and
sister said that they attempted to outfit their cows with eclipsed glasses so that they could also
enjoy the rare freedom. But the animals were interested in donning eyewear. No, for some reason.
That was not interested in sunglasses. I don't know. However hats love them. Yeah. They
love that. Big hat people. Big hat. No. Um, I, I just love this story. Uh, well, you know what?
It just shows you sometimes animals are smarter. Yeah. Then people because, uh, Gertrude, I call
her Gertrude. Yeah. Um, normally they don't look up at the sun. Right. Right.
Cows as far as I know don't just randomly. Oh, there's the sun. You know, I don't know why cows
sound like that. But, but it's their hats. It keeps the sun out of their eyes. That's what it is.
Think about how many animals can't look up? It's gotta be crazy for an animal that doesn't like
traditionally look like rabbits. You know, they don't necessarily look up very often. Once they
finally do, that's gotta be pretty mine. That's gonna be scary too. Yeah. Oh, what is that?
What the wait a minute? Where's the roof? Where's the roof?
But I have a question for you guys. What is our obsession with putting glasses on animals?
You're so red. I don't know. Um, I really don't know. What is our obsession with humanizing animals?
Yeah. Yeah. I don't think I, I don't want to delve into that too far. I really don't.
I'm worried. How do you guys feel about giving an animal like, like Melissa did,
and naming her cat, Kevin, like that kind of thing. I know there wasn't my choice. Yeah, we know,
we don't. That is good. That is that is important. I mentioned that a lot because I know people
that lose their mind when they meet up animal that has a human sounding name or has a human name.
Right. Bill or something like the bill. Oh, you can't name your dog Bill. Oh, wait. I like
Bill the cat. I think it's I don't think there's any wrong with it. But I think we should name
our people after animals instead. Yes. Yes. Uh, have you met Fido, my son? Your name is spot. Yeah.
Yes. Yes. We're going to break out of that. Yeah. Yeah. You're mittens now.
We'll come back more fun on the morning show here at WFHU.
