Hour 1: No burnout here!

Charon W.I.R.I. News Good morning, Wes Katz.

Good morning, world.

It's a new day.

Thanks for kicking it off of us right here at WFHR, locally grown radio.

804 on the clock, got your host James behind the mic.

I am joined by our head of news, Melissa K.

Good morning.

Head of production, Seth Haback.

Good morning.

And the best lesson is in radio.

Thanks for joining us, everybody.

We hope you're having a great start to your day out there.

We got good things coming up for you.

We'll get into that in a moment.

Let's talk weather with our good friend Brittany Marlowe.

Good morning, Britt.

How you doing?

I am fantastic.

I just didn't want to get out of bed because you know, rain sounds,

just so comforting.

Hi, one of those mornings, we should all have been able to start our day

like two hours later.

I have everything we should have just gotten an email or a text, a chain

or something like, hey, everybody, you know what, come in an hour late.

Forget the four day work week.

Let's figure out a way to adjust our hours as needed.

That would be awesome.

Should any of you shake on the weather?

Yeah, anybody really be working before nine.

Like any, can we just all agree as a society agree?

We're just not going to do anything until nine o'clock over.

Just completely going forward.

I agree.

Let's see what else I can say.

I want to see a politician run up that.

I want to say that's the only thing they're running on.

That's the only policy that you have.

Brittany, what is what do we got in store for weather today?

Because it has been a crazy one the last 24, 48 hours.

It sure has.

I mean, rainfall totals down into Wisconsin Rapids and Stephen's point area

is anywhere from a half an inch to an inch already.

And we've probably got another quarter inch to a half to go.

So we saw some heavy downpours this morning.

We're going to start to see some more moderate rain.

So not as heavy, not as crazy.

We could still hear some thunderstorms, but they're not going to produce anything

strong, to severe like last night, down south.

We stayed away from all of that, thankfully.

Winds are calming.

No more 50 mile per hour guns.

That was crazy.

Yes, it was.

Yeah.

Oh my gosh, I was driving on the highway.

And I have, you know, a Jeep Wrangler.

So it's kind of like a kite.

Yes, yes, and I was getting thrown across the lanes.

Oh, I've got a liberty.

And it was dealing with the same thing, Brittany.

Yeah, yeah.

I love I love not for their aerodynamics, but no, no.

Between that and how light I am, I really am surprised.

I'm still here, right?

Seriously, and I was worried the cops were going to think I was intoxicated

at one point, but I saw the others doing the same.

So I figured they can't get us all.

Yeah, yeah, that's a way to do that.

That's a way.

Oh, but today just just about 20 miles per hour, much more tolerable.

We'll see Arminov scattered showers winding down by this afternoon.

We'll be dry by tonight, but we do have a chance for more rain tomorrow

before we really start to see some sunshine and calmer, you know, conditions.

So about another day or so of scattered rain,

high, today we'll hit 60 degrees, and tomorrow we'll be into the mid 50s.

Right.

Nice.

And we certainly needed this rain.

So I can't complain too much about that.

With the winds being gone, I can handle any thing of this rest of the stuff.

That wind was insane though.

It greened up overnight.

Yeah, I'm really green here.

Yeah, I really did.

Yeah, lighting dust that is good because oh, I don't know.

That's a good quiet guy.

Didn't I know I always thought as a kid.

Oh, you know what?

I'm just going to choose to believe it.

I don't believe it.

I think it's cool.

I like that.

Brittany, we appreciate you.

Thanks for the time.

Thank you.

Have a great day.

You too.

You too.

Best in the business right there.

Our friend Brittany Marlowe joins us every morning right in that time slot.

We got good things lined up for you today.

Everybody.

El Café, birthday and anniversary club right around the corner, looking forward to diving

into that.

The big ones we got to get into.

How many bosses out there think their employees are burnt out?

I want to touch on that one.

The top three late night snacks we go for.

Ooh.

We got a very nice.

Very nice.

We've been.

Are you a salty or a sweet?

Yeah.

Yeah, nice.

Nice.

We as well have to get in the National Pet Day.

We are the finalists for that.

We also have a little bit of entertainment news.

And in the night of clock hour, we're going to kick things off with, oh, I should mention

as well.

In about 8.45, we'll have our quality post printing.

We could also more to Wednesday.

Yeah, looking forward to that.

That's going to be fun.

And of course, in the top of the night of clock hour, we're going to have some great guests

joining us.

Lincoln High School students, Josh, Jonah and Olivia are going to join us.

They are Deca students who will be attending the Deca International Career Development Conference

in Anaheim, California at the end of this month.

Wow.

Oh, wow.

How cool is that?

They've been doing awesome this year.

Yeah.

Big fan of the Deca program and looking forward to meeting these great young minds and

having them join us in the airwaves here.

It's going to be a lot of fun.

Of course, 9 o'clock hour getting to our schedule.

That ain't right stories.

Good stories of the day.

All those things coming up for you, everybody.

Hope you are having a great start to your day out there.

And if you're looking for an energy boost, we might know a guy.

Might know a guy.

No, we might be able to help you out with that actually.

James, how did you say that on the radio?

I know a nutritionist.

What do you want?

Oh, I know.

All right.

A family natural foods.

What?

What?

You were talking ginseng.

Oh, my goodness.

Yes.

Yes.

So a lot of people have a tough time getting going, especially on a Wednesday on a hump day,

the middle of the week.

You're still looking at the week ahead and that what you've accomplished into some of those

things.

Well, here we have three things.

Nutritionists say you should eat to get that going in the morning.

Oh, okay.

All right.

Coffee.

Yeah, coffee.

That's it.

Wow.

I, unfortunately, don't see coffee out this list, but I highly recommend it.

No.

How about complex carbohydrates, including things like wheat bread?

That's not a mouthful.

Just saying that word.

Yeah, right.

Including things like wheat bread, oatmeal, brown rice, beans, and potatoes.

They break down more slowly than simple carbs, so the energy boosts less longer.

Quarant, quote unquote, simple carbs basically means sugar, things like white bread, candy,

and most breakfast cereal spike your blood sugar, and they give you a short burst of energy,

but then the crash is even worse.

Yeah, wears off very quickly.

So basically a lot of the things you've been doing already for breakfast, you know, like

it's your sweet toast and you're trying to be healthy.

Including our next on this list is high fiber foods, including fruits, vegetables, grains,

and nuts.

They're especially helpful early in the day.

A recent study found less than 10% of us are getting enough fiber.

Mm-hmm.

That sounds about right.

Can I put in a guess of what the last thing is?

Yeah, okay.

Perotene.

Mm.

Heart healthy fats.

Oh.

Okay.

Close.

That works for me.

I give it to it.

The judges?

Yep.

You got it.

Meaning the unsaturated kind of found in things like nuts, seeds, avocados, and dark chocolate.

Oh.

Dark chocolate.

Oh.

Look at that.

See?

Now those yogurt additions are okay.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So these are dark chocolate and nuts.

Right.

Yeah.

The time of day and of course your own diet and your own body and all that and understanding

that.

I think that a lot of those things can be.

I honestly, I think that if you, what's the harm in having a big bowl of cocoa pebbles

if you've got some fruit afterwards, if you're, if you're eating some fruit afterwards

or something like that.

Oh, you're reaching now.

I can't get into that.

It's not dark chocolate.

No.

No, it's not.

Come on.

The milk afterwards is chocolate milk.

It's milk chocolate.

That's the problem.

All right.

I don't understand science.

I don't.

Food's just, I don't know.

However, your granola with dark chocolate would fit in this, James.

Oh.

Okay.

So you do.

You're good to know.

Just put some milk on that and you're good to go.

If none of that sounds good to you, you can also reach for a beverage.

Let's skip the red bowl and the fourth cup of coffee.

Studies have found that just drinking more water each day can make you feel more energized.

Water.

Water.

That one, I think, takes a lot of us a lot longer than it should to realize.

So wait a minute.

Water is, I mean, it's, yes, it doesn't have sugar, caffeine, because it doesn't need

it.

Right.

Exactly.

It's an energy booster.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's how amazing water is.

That's how great water is.

I do think, though, that it's interesting to look at these things every, heck, I don't

know if I was going to say every couple of years, maybe every couple of months.

It's fascinating.

Have any of you looked at like the food pyramid in the 80s, like I went back and looked at

this a little while ago, and it's just insane how much these things change and grow.

And I don't, it's very easy to point the finger at this or blame that.

The data, we get more and more data, more and more things change.

And it's just, of course, this is going to evolve.

It evolves, yeah.

The food pyramid or square or rectangle or whatever you know, it might be when we first

started learning about the four food groups.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And then I changed it.

I remember when they changed it to the pyramid.

Everyone was like, oh, well, it was a big news, right?

It was a big deal.

That was big.

Yeah.

It's interesting.

Mm-hmm.

I want a food octagon now.

No.

I want to be the octagon.

Yes.

We got to stick with shapes because it's more fun to have shapes, you know?

Of course.

Of course.

Seven one five four two.

It does.

No, I want pizza for some reason.

Oh, it does.

It's a big one pizza.

It's the perfect food.

Seven one five four two four twenty six hundred.

What kind of a healthy way do you use to wake up and get going if it's not a food or a drink

or something like that?

I know a lot of people like their shakes.

Their job of juices and stuff like that.

Yeah.

Maybe a smoothie that they make less than that I was trying to think of.

Well, because you can make smoothies out of basically anything.

Yeah.

And you can make some really healthy ones that way.

If you throw in some, you know, like a couple few handfuls of spinach.

Yes.

Investibles in there.

Yeah.

Protein powders or way powders that you can add that are some of those healthy fats they're

talking about.

Yeah.

Makes sense to me.

I have a bit of an arch rival in Tuesday, I think.

And I have nothing against Tuesday, but I think it dislikes me because my Tuesday has

been very rough for about a month now.

And I keep forgetting coffee on Tuesday morning.

Oh my gosh.

So I've been lucky for us.

We've got a great water here.

And we do.

I really do like the water we got here.

So I've been drinking a lot more of that.

And I honestly have not.

I felt a difference certainly like the routine part of my brain and all of our brains misses

that routine.

Where's my coffee?

That kind of thing.

I don't.

But your kidneys have been saying thank you.

Yeah.

Yeah.

A hundred percent Melissa.

Especially.

I got like between my two kidneys got like about 25% of a kidney.

Right.

Right.

You're so right about that.

And please, please, everybody, do not tell coffee.

I said this, but I haven't noticed a big difference.

I really haven't.

Wow.

I haven't noticed the gigantic difference.

Which I hate because I love coffee.

I would love to be able to say no coffee has saved me.

They know all these things, but that doesn't mean you need to break up with it.

Honestly, it's true.

It's true.

Honestly, I've done that similar times when I just haven't had coffee like for a couple.

You know, the first day or two, I might get a headache because of the caffeine I do.

But after, but I think you're right, though.

I don't think it's much of a difference.

At least not to me with the caffeine part, you know, feeling a way to get kind of thing.

I haven't noticed a big difference when I've done that in the past.

I don't.

I often do it on the weekend.

Like they're at least one day on the weekend.

I usually don't have coffee.

And I think that's healthy for us.

Same here.

Probably.

Yeah.

And I think the same thing Melissa.

Part of it why I did it too was also to get me to, like because I felt like I was drinking

coffee so much, it lost, it's, you know, flavor to get.

It's fun to me.

It's sad.

It's a fact.

Oh, it's sad.

Yes.

We need that.

We're used that word more.

Yes.

Yes.

Oh, please.

I think that part too is nice.

You know, taking a break from it makes you appreciate like it more that kind of thing.

Yeah.

I think so.

It's fun.

We will take a time out, checking with our partners.

We'll come back and we got the LKFA birthday and anniversary club lined up just for you on

the morning show here at WFHR.

Welcome back everyone.

Morning show here at WFHR locally grown radio Melissa, Seth and James.

We're here and we're ready to do some celebrating.

I was supposed to kick it right there.

Yeah.

A second earlier.

Doesn't mean the same.

Just hit the same.

All right.

You're done now.

You're done.

No, we don't know.

I messed it up.

You're not.

It's time to do some celebrate when you're friends over at LKFA and the birthday and

That's great.

Yeah.

They get some really good meals going on over there.

really good, actually.

Yeah.

They've got a couple of really cool fruit dishes there.

Yeah.

And their wraps are awesome.

Yes.

Their wraps are very good.

Yeah, they're really good.

Tastes really good.

Some of the best food you're going to find and some of the best atmosphere and the

Happy birthday Angie.

Happy birthday.

Wishing you a great day.

And hope it's a good one for you.

We wish a happy birthday to our qualifier, Marty Fisher.

Oh, happy birthday, Marty.

Happy birthday, Marty.

Marty was a M.O.B. coach for it.

No, he wasn't.

Doesn't that sound like he...

Marty Fisher.

Yeah.

Like Marty Fisher is like a baseball player.

Very baseball coach.

Marty Fisher.

Yes.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

Marty, we appreciate you.

And Angie and whoever got to see his birthdays and anniversaries, keep in coming.

Everybody.

Love celebrating with all of y'all.

Keep in coming to us.

Let's take a look at our celebrity birthdays for this April 17th.

Rooney Mara is 39.

She was the girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

She was Mary Magdalene as well in Mary Magdalene.

Great actor.

She...

I have only seen her in a couple of things.

But that girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a tough watch, but...

Yeah, it is.

She is intense.

But her and Daniel Craig are so good together in that.

And she does such an amazing job, like a fearless actor, really impressed with her performance.

And she does not act much after that.

I'll still remember her performance from that moment.

And the books were...

The part of the reason why I haven't watched the movies is because you can't skip over

scenes in the movies as easy as you can in books.

Yeah.

Right.

Here's some scenes in there.

Some rough stuff.

The one I really want to see her in is Carol, Kate Blanchett, because Kate Blanchett

is just phenomenal.

She's awesome.

Couldn't agree with you more.

Love Kate Blanchett.

I was just talking about her this weekend.

She...

She is one of these celebrated actors that we have seen get to do some really, really

thespian feats in those things.

But I love when actors like that get a chance to bring that same caliber of talent to

a fun role.

And if you haven't seen...

Which Thor movie is it that she's the villain in?

She's...

Oh, it's Dragon Rock.

It's Dragon Rock.

It's Dragon Rock.

It's Dragon Rock.

She's one of the best villains I've ever seen in my life.

Like I went into that movie wanting to see Thor and Loki and all that.

I know.

She was great.

She stole this show.

She really did.

You know, it's funny, okay?

This is how good she is.

All right.

Monday, Beth and I went to the library to watch the Philadelphia story, a classic movie.

Oh, yeah.

We're starring Carrie Grant, Jimmy Stewart, and Catherine, the great Catherine Hepburn.

Gets me.

That was...

I mean, acting in is just absolutely fabulous.

But while I was watching it, and I was watching Catherine Hepburn do her thing, and then

I remembered that Kate Blanchett played her in the aviator.

Oh, yeah.

And I realized how good a job Kate Blanchett did playing Catherine Hepburn.

Yeah.

It just...

The fact that I was watching the actual Catherine Hepburn, and then I thought of that was just

how good she is.

He can help her playing.

Yes.

That really is impressive.

I don't know if that's ever happened to me with somebody.

That's really cool, actually.

And good movie.

Good movie.

Oh, it's an awesome movie.

That Philadelphia story.

There are certain movies that I tell people, like if you want to see that acting can

be an art.

Watch this movie.

That's one of them.

Should we store it drunk?

It's healthy.

It really is.

It really is.

It's so fun.

And also a side note.

How awesome that our library does that.

Oh, 100%.

Yeah.

We love it.

We love our library.

Shout out to McMillan, big fans of our friends over at McMillan Library.

Just wrapping up Aruni here because she is in a feroilty with her sister.

Their dad's family are the maras who own the New York Giants.

Their mom's family are the Arunis who own the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Wow.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's just a crazy thing.

I knew the mara that name was familiar and I couldn't remember where I was from.

Victoria Beckham is 50, posh spice is 50 years old.

Jennifer Gardner is 52.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Jennifer Gardner has really done a really good balance with I love acting, but I love being

a mom more.

How can I do both?

Commercials.

Let's get a save.

Capital and commercials.

Yeah.

She's making a killing at that.

Oh, I'm sure she is.

Yeah.

It also gets to go to all of her kids like soccer practices and things like it's a pretty

good gig.

Not a bad gig.

Not a bad gig.

And she deserves it.

Good actor.

She's still doing movies here and there.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Red Man is 54.

Wonderful.

Rapper from the late 90s.

No, 90s in general.

I'm still doing it.

It's still working.

He's not really associated with Method Man a lot.

Oh, that's right.

That's right.

Those two are still touring and stuff a bunch.

The great Adam McKay is 56.

The legend.

And he is a legend director and co-writer of Anchor Mantel, a day-to-night step-brothers, the

other guys, done a billion things with Will Farrell.

Then he kind of like, he saw everything that's going on in the world.

Adam McKay, I can't think, I apologize.

I cannot think of the medical condition he has, but he, I want to say it's a form of Parkinson's

or something like that.

He does these interviews on the Dan Levitard show all the time.

He talks about climate change and a lot of these things.

And I really admire his spin, his pivot in his career, because he saw the way the world

was going.

And he wants to make people laugh, but he wants to make you think too.

And he has done some great movies since then.

I think the movie on Netflix will lead him out of the Capitol that he just don't look

up.

Fantastic movie.

Important watch.

Great.

Well, entertaining, funny, and an important watch, and one that makes you think of the

big short.

I haven't seen the big short.

Like there are a handful of movies I tell people you have to see, especially, you want

to know why journalism matters.

Do you want to know why it's important that we don't have conglomerates owning newspapers?

Why we don't have politicians, bullying reporters, and journalists, and threatening journalists?

Watch the big short.

What?

Think about that.

Watch the Philadelphia story.

I mean, all the presidents men watch these movies and let's remind ourselves what journalism

truly is and what it means and why it matters so can't do.

Think about without those people, without those journalists.

Think about that.

What is...

Wouldn't we know?

Yeah.

I'm seriously.

And I don't care, even if you were a fan of Nixon, I would think you'd want to know

what he was up to.

I think so too.

So to those kind of things, it's incredible.

That work that was done.

And Adam McKay really put a spotlight on that and also won himself an Oscar co-writing

the big short.

Yep.

Which he directed as well.

This is Ferris 57, supernova, divorce song.

Oh yeah.

I can't die.

I love this, Ferris.

Great guitar player too.

No, she's good.

Very good.

Uh, this is an interesting one.

We got three lost actors all celebrating a birthday together.

Henry I.

I.

Q. Sack is 50-70.

He was Desmond Unlost, also win the 100 in McGiver, William Mahor, 59, Tom Cruise's cousin.

He has a small part in Mission Impossible 2 and he was Ethan in Lost.

Oh, okay.

Interesting.

So what we got called well is 74 rose unlost.

That must have been heck of a day if they were filming then.

They have party for everybody.

The budget.

And this happened a while back where there were a whole bunch of, there's just that many

people that were unlost.

Yes.

I think it was.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

And we all have like grouped birthday.

Yes.

Well, you know, I understand that people might not get this and everything, but for a lot

of people, for a movie, the TV show like that where you have an insane budget, it's

just cheaper if everybody has the same birthday and you only got to get one.

One cake, right?

Yeah.

That's right.

It makes a lot of, a lot of TV shows are done that way.

All in the family.

That's it.

You know, a lot of people don't realize.

I love that idea.

I love that idea.

Birthdays on this date.

Please show up.

Our budget is just getting out of hand here.

We need to group our birthdays for the cake.

Okay.

Budget is insane.

Why did your business go out of, why did your TV show kick cats out to get the cake

in your budget?

Have a Diane.

No.

That's right.

Nice.

Lila Roshan is 60, great actor, waiting to exhale, Harlem nights, why do fools fall in love,

really like her work.

Boomer a size in his 63, 4, NFL quarterback, one that I football commentator now on CBS's

pre-game show.

Here replaced Don Eimes on WFN, the fan back in 07.

That's right.

One of my favorite characters of all time, Sean Bean is 65 today.

Sean does not simply mocks more dogs, he's so good.

He's Ned Stark.

He is a Boromir, 006 in Golden Eye, EN in...

He's a national treasure.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Always usually a bad guy.

When he plays it, he's so good at being a bad guy.

He's so good at it, but this is also why I recommend the movie Equilibrium.

If you are interested in a good sci-fi movie that is going to give you like a Sean Bean

or something, it stars Christian Bale and Tay Diggs and it came out like right around

the matrix kind of thing and stuff and it's basically like Fahrenheit 451 with action.

Like it's a lot of that and it is such a good movie.

Oh, it's so good and Sean Bean really sets the stage and he doesn't play a bad guy,

doesn't play a villain.

Does he live?

He hadn't.

And moving on because I can't spoil it.

I know, but still he dies in most of his movies to a TV show, he really dies all the time.

All the time.

Nick Hornsby is 67, a British author of High Fidelity about a boy in fever pitch.

Oh, cool.

Let's see here, Jan Hammer is 76, composer of the theme Miami Vice.

Oh, yeah.

Do one of the best theme songs of all time.

I agree.

And a rowdy, rowdy, piper was born on this day as we have people no longer with us.

Born in 1954, Pestaway in 2015, WWE Hall of Famer, Star of Cinematic Classics like they live.

They live.

One of the better blinds that he has had in that is gone on to his life of its own.

I'm here to into bubble gum and I'm all out of bubble gum.

It's become a famous line.

It has a really kind of bad movie.

And his big of a wrestling draw as Hulk Hogan was and somebody, some of the great wrestlers

of the 80s and everything, I don't think that you have the wrestling where it is today

without guys like rowdy, rowdy, piper in particular, him in particular.

He not only was good at playing the heel and the bad guy, he enjoyed it.

He had a passion for it and I think that matters in those things.

He was way ahead of almost anybody else on the microphone.

The Hulk Hogan was not even close to what rowdy, a piper was on the microphone.

He may have been the best at it back then and he may have been the best of all time at

it on the microphone.

They had piper's pit for a reason.

They gave him a microphone and then even asked him the wrestle.

That's how good he was on the microphone.

And he was one of the few wrestlers.

One of the early wrestlers to get a lead role in a movie they live was, I mean, it's

kind of a cheesy film, but he did a good job in it, you know, this kind of thing.

And you know, I know Andre, the giant, was in Princess Bride and stuff, but he was kind

of a side character.

Roddy, piper was the star of that movie.

And he had towards the end of his life and everything, he was dealing with a lot of health

issues, like a lot, unfortunately, so many wrestlers do because there is no retirement plan

or anything like that.

Vince McMahon is one of the most evil people in human history and the way he treated his

wrestlers.

But he had some, the guys I know he's sunny in Philadelphia are big wrestling fans and

they wrote a character basically for him and not to say to give him a paycheck, but to

give him a paycheck.

Yeah.

Give him more.

And it is some of the funniest stuff I've ever seen on TV, like his, his performance is

not always sunny.

It just steals the show.

He stole the show from those guys every time.

Great.

Great.

Great.

That's going to do it for our B day and anniversary club, everybody, but we want more

of those birthdays and anniversaries, get them to us.

And if you happen to see Angie Billings today, wish her a happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

And wish you a happy birthday to Marty Fisher, our qualifier.

Happy birthday, Marty.

Congratulations.

I like Marty.

It's a great name.

We're going to check in on our news in the local and state.

We also have some entertainment news I see in there.

Yeah.

I didn't know.

That looks new.

All right.

I guess entertainment news to everybody.

It's our break.

It's just going to be 20 minutes long.

If we have time, we'll come back with our quality plus printing wicked awesome word coming

up here on the morning show at WFHR.

Welcome back, everyone, to the morning show here at WFHR.

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, I'm begging of you, please don't take my

man.

I just don't know how anybody would have a chance, man, woman, alien, I don't, I don't

really get stolly.

I mean, just a cartoon drawn character, I mean, anything.

Welcome back to the show, everybody, Seth Melissa and James here with you.

We're going to be joined by our friends from quality plus printing.

Any men and now looking forward to that while we're waiting, let's celebrate banana

day.

Banana.

Banana.

Banana.

Banana is our.

Nice.

Nice.

I couldn't remember it.

I'm so glad you did.

I'm so glad you did.

But yes, bananas are botanically berries because they grow from a flower with a single

ovary and also contain seeds, but all berries are fruits.

In a recent poll on bananas, 29% of Americans say that they like to eat bananas when they're

at least partially green, 6% prefer bananas to be mostly green, about 50% of people like

to time it so that they're eating a banana when it's perfectly yellow.

With no green or brown spots, as you probably know, bananas become sweeter as they ripen.

They do.

Banana is our mostly purchased item in the produce department.

Oh, I didn't know that.

That's cool.

I didn't know any of the either and I honestly, I just hadn't thought about it much, but

I did want that one to sit there for a second because I think that is pretty no worthy.

And they are among the most popular items in the supermarket overall.

They're behind bread, eggs, meat, milk, and coffee.

But they're head of chips, juice, pasta, frozen foods, and yogurt.

Oh, that's good.

That's good.

Yeah.

Yeah.

They're also the top impulse purchase, produce purchase by the impulse produce purchase.

Wow, that's hard to say.

That was the bad one.

Yeah.

I'll be honest.

I said it in my head before I said that.

That's a good idea.

You did it.

They plus today too.

Yeah, that was very good.

Don't know what's happening.

I love bananas.

I'm big fan of bananas.

I know some people, though, and I don't know if this happens with a lot of things like fruit

or cherries, but I know people who like bananas, but can't stand artificial like gum-flavored

banana.

Or the artificial banana flavor, like it runs like banana runs.

Yeah, good example.

That's a very fake flavor.

Yeah.

The only fake banana flavor I like is banana laffy taffy.

No, it's a good one.

It's a good one.

It still doesn't really taste that much like banana.

Well, it does.

It does.

But it is different.

It's an artificial banana flavor.

It sure does.

Who keep up with that?

Yeah.

Was that like the taster that like really made the big mistake?

Yes.

Yeah, it's like, because you know, they taste test all this stuff before they send it

out.

And they're like, yeah, that tastes like banana.

Okay, let's go with it.

Let's make a hundred thousand runs.

This doesn't taste like banana.

It tastes like a little.

No, no, no.

Well, Frank said it did.

So we had to go with it.

Banana that.

Banana that.

Banana that.

We every Wednesday are luckily joined by our great friends over at Quality Plus

pretty getting your words out here with scots and rapids.

We're going to get our wicked awesome word of Wednesday from Phil Hartley.

Good morning, Phil.

Yeah.

Good morning, guys.

How's everybody doing?

Pretty good.

Pretty good.

How's it going over there, Phil?

Good little lap.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey, talking.

Everybody's finding out how good their roofs are.

Yeah.

Everybody.

Everybody.

Phil, we appreciate you.

Yeah.

Exactly.

We always appreciate you joining us, Phil.

I want to take a moment and remind everybody that we are looking for heroes.

We are calling all heroes.

We have the bat signal out, Phil, and we are looking for hometown heroes.

Yeah.

Bring it on.

We picked our first one, which I got to get with you so we can make a formal announcement

here.

But maybe we can do that next week.

But let's play.

If you're free next Wednesday.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, let's do it.

We'll have to see if we can get her on the air.

It's a female.

I gave that away.

But I'll let you know more.

Right.

But we've gotten in several people and not needing their heroes.

Bring it on.

Bring on more because we're going to keep him hold on to him.

If you don't win this month, that's a good chance like to win next month.

But we want to honor some local people that are doing some good things.

So keep keeping coming.

Phil, if we have these people, we all do have somebody in mind, have multiple

people in mind.

And we want you to hear that person.

Should we just write up a couple of sentences and send you an email?

How should people get those names to you?

Yeah.

I mean, my email here, we can use this fill at qpprinting.com, fill at qpprinting.com.

So there's two P's in there.

Or just give us a call, a couple of phone number, someone 5, 4, 2, 3, 7, 4, 4, 0.

It's a phone number of quality plus printing in WAM.

And just give us a call and we'll write it down if you meet me on the street, whatever.

I don't care.

I've texted to me in a Facebook message.

Whatever we can take it or call you guys, just relay the message to us and we'll get

those people answered.

Our friends over at qpprinting are 35, 15, 8 streets south of Wisconsin Rapids.

It's an awesome location, drive from past 8th Street, always be sure to check out the

sign.

They do a fun job with that.

One thing I will not recommend is trying to shout the hero while you're driving past.

I've been doing this for weeks and I don't think anybody's heard me.

I'm pretty sure.

So it's probably better to do what Phil told you.

Just email them.

It's a lot easier.

I'll get better shot.

I'll get better shot.

I encourage everybody, we all know a hero out there, a local hero, be sure to get that information

to Phil and his team.

And if you can't, go ahead and get it to me and I'll make sure that Phil and them get

it.

We also want to take a moment, Phil, to thank you and our friends at qpprinting, putting

into the station, putting into our community.

Of course, for those that don't know, qpprinting is our main sponsor of playmakers, our support

show.

One of our more popular shows that we have.

They has sponsored that for a while now.

We greatly appreciate that, Phil.

The show is made better because of having a local presence like your business on it.

So thanks, Dave.

I know I truly believe in what you do locally and of course being a sports lover myself

and very active in local high school sports, too.

I want to be sure we keep getting a word out about what's being done here locally and

nationally.

I mean, the boxing brothers are awesome, too, but they're really, you know, again, the

local sports teams are the high schools and colleges locally that place from great athletics

that we can all go see.

Yeah.

I want to make sure the word out about them and I'm proud of the sponsor that show, so thank

you for that.

Speaking of sports, nice job on those river kings shirts and everything with celebrating

the champion of the division.

That was great, man.

Yeah.

Nice.

Thanks.

That was fun to go.

I went to their kickoff before they went on the back.

A couple of them are wearing those shirts.

Very cool.

That's pretty cool.

We're doing some shirts for our function stop all team right now and that's for the

lower.

That's a beautiful place.
