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. Got your host, James J. I'm joined by Melissa
K. Good morning. Seth Habagger. Good morning. And the best listeners in radio. Thanks for
joining us, everybody. Good stuff on the way for you. We're going to get in some entertainment
news. Talk about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, how Jervant, John Travolta got his career
back. A couple of other things in there. We'll get to all of that. But it is a Monday. And we
all know what that means. That's right. It's a Monday. And welcome to the kitchen's open
here on WFHR. This week, we're going to be covering some interesting topics. And James
is going to take this one away with the top three late night snacks. Yeah. Yeah. In appreciate
that, Melissa. Thank you. So I thought that this would be a fun one for us to dive into.
I've had this put aside for a little bit. And we'd love to hear from the audience about this
as well. What are your favorite late night snacks? There are things that just taste better at
night. They just do weird. I don't know what it is. But ice cream for me is a big one. I
really like it. Not alone. I don't know. I thought it was, actually, obviously. I really
did until I started to bring you up. And I'll like, yeah, everybody does. It's the best time
to eat it. I'm so used to being weird and being like the different that when I do things
that everybody else does, it throws me. It's a wait a minute. A recent study found 60% of Americans
regularly eat after nine. But that includes late dinners and a new survey. 30% also described
themselves as late night snackers. I think there's a lot of us. I know Terry and I have talked
about this for grazers. I tend to eat like that. Bed is the preferred late night. Bed is
to prefer late night snacking location from 44% of us, especially if you're young. 58% of adults
under 25 said it's the number one. And here are a few more stats from the poll. The top reasons
we snack include hunger. And sometimes we are just bored. I'm hungry. Yes. But I think the
boredom thing has more to do with it. Tell me more about this hunger eating from it. But I think
you're right. I think the boredom thing. I would think it's 50-50 almost. 66% of us usually snack
alone. So late night snacking is mostly a solo activity. Yeah, that makes sense. How many people
do it in shame? Yeah. Under a blanket. Nobody's around. I can eat this whole sleeve of
thinnets. Nobody will know. I can hide the evidence. And you do too. You do. You wrap it
into another wrapper like a throw it away. No, no, I got to put it under some garbage. Now,
let's put this other piece in a top of it so you can see. Yes. And you casually. So it looks
normal. And you think it'll work. Right. Yeah. 66% I'm sorry. Two thirds also said that they normally
watch something while they eat most said TV. But that also includes things like YouTube and
TikTok and all that. Right. That's that mindless eating though. Yeah. Where you're not really focused
on what you're eating. It's just there. Yeah. Sweet stuff is more popular than salty. 80%
said that they usually reach for something sweet. Wow. Just 20% said salty things.
Well, I'm on the other end on this one because usually if it's I'm more salty if I want to snack
at night. So yeah. I don't keep a lot of sweet treats in the house. So yeah, if actually I don't
keep a lot of salty ones either. Safe pretzels. Those are salty. Somewhat semi healthy snacks. Yeah.
That's a good idea. That's true. Especially, I mean, I think that a big part of this, what we do is
we grab what's convenient and what's in the house. And if you have healthier things, that's all your
options are, you know, chances are it's a smart move. That's a good thing. The grocery store is not
open at midnight. Yeah. I'm telling you though. I'm telling you. If you like it gets down to it
and you're looking for something, there's not much in the house. You've been pretty creative. Oh,
yeah. Oh, yeah. The maraschino cherries in the fridge and the juice. That's what I used to steal
when I was a kid. Oh, nice. The my my sister and I thought that my mother didn't know the chocolate
chips. We would steal out of her cooking bag. She would. Yeah. She she knew. They would know. They
always know. Yeah. Always do. Our top three favorite midnight snacks are cookies, ice cream and
chips. Okay. Yeah. What are some other options? What are your favorite options? What are your
go-tos? Seven one five four two four twenty six hundred four two four twenty six hundred. I
always, I think I mentioned before, I'd like to get a like a loaf of French bread and some
marinara and just go to town and just dip and eat. Dip and eat. Yeah. That's weird. So you're
back to being weird again, James. Yeah. Yeah. Right right where you belong. She I prefer like
oil with herbs in it. Oh, okay. Up there. Up there. That's good. Yeah. I'm sorry, Melissa.
For me, it's cheese. I go for the cheese, man. Yeah. That's that's my thing. Sadly. I would. Yes.
That is a good one. That is a good one. I do have some interesting statistics on maybe why we eat
late. So I found this article. It's called the Victorian era. It's a 19th century dot wordpress.com
if you want to read the whole article. But you know, we used to eat early in the like word I'm talking
like 1700s. You would eat early in the day because you didn't have light at night. But as the we had
more especially when it came to having electric power in homes, they could eat dinner later. So
like by the 1800s, the dinner hour had moved to like six or seven. Oh wow. That was a long time
to wait from breakfast till you know, you're last meal of the day. So then you know, they'd have a
tea. So ladies, when they get tired of waiting, they would have a light meal of dainty sandwiches,
cakes, and then and that that was established then to break up the time from breakfast to
supper or dinner, whichever you want to call it. And then by the 1840s, dinner had been pushed
as late as eight or nine. Because I'm guessing got a lot bigger bigger. They have more food. They became
a meal. They became a meal, right? But then with dinner being pushed that late, they would
because of of the electric lighting that they had. Now, this is mostly for the rich people. So
I am theorizing that those of us who eat late at night, we're just pretending we're rich.
Oh, I like that. That's good. I like that. Let's go ahead and take a call here. Good morning. What's
on your mind? Okay. So my late night snack is usually hot for a gypsy solver. That's good.
That's good. You're good. Not good. I try not to do that much after seven o'clock.
Because you don't really want to have a full stomach going to bed because all they're going to do
there is play in the music. And that was one of the things to do. It's a doctor told me. They try to
concentrate at night. You can have a seven o'clock so that you get your body a chance to digest that,
and then not be seen through the night. Hopefully you miss your body. They still digest it so that
they break it up. That was just one of my things. I tried to eat it at seven o'clock. Sometimes
it's not always that easy. It's a really good note, though. It's a good note. It's something that
we haven't gotten to. It's touch on yet. That's good. That's good note about it. Yeah, I mean,
chips itself is pretty much and popcorns might go to. Those are good ones. Not bad. Those are
healthier, actually. I mean, because you're you're usually probably not doing flavored chips with
the salsa. They're probably like a plain corn chip, right? Yeah, it's a corn chip.
And then usually I may be trying to make our own salsa, but you know, I make it a little
not so much more, you know, little bit of sugars and stuff like you do.
So I'm I'm used to under I've had to learn the hard way that I can't party like I used to.
Like I have a good friend night time when my friends are some like that and I'm feeling it for
like three days. Oh, yeah. That is one of those things that is a real awakening call. This weekend,
I realized some foods are like that for me as a as a kid. One of the things I used to like to do,
what Kevin's talking about there, I just have a big thing a nacho cheese and I grabbed like a bag
of those chips and just go to town and probably finished the chips and the whole bowl of cheese
or whatever. And me eating it this weekend, I'm like, oh, I haven't really eaten this since high
school. I could still do this. I felt like I was walking like I had no more gut. It was
where it was replaced by cheese. My whole gut was replaced by basically. And it just walking
like so apparently like there's some foods that I can't bounce back. Not anymore to either.
It's important and it was late at night too. And I felt horrible. I felt like it not only did
I felt like not in full, but I also felt like yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a good note about those
things about not only when you're eating, but what you're eating and all that. Will I change?
Here's hoping. Here's hoping. Try to be like Kevin. It's hard to change. Yeah. Yeah. And I've been
and I understand this as much as I it is difficult and it has cost me roles and different things
as far as trying to put on weight. I understand that it is societally wise. It is a privilege
that what I've grown up with with the metabolism I have. I'm also I grew up with my dad and my papa
and I saw when it hit them. When that metabolism stopped. It eventually will. Yeah. Yeah.
Coming for you, James. It is. There's I'm going to come in one of these days and you guys are not
even going to recognize me. Whoa. Whoa. What happened? Just he's just a ball now. He's just
right. He's a foot jogger. He'd be perfectly round. If that happens, you just got to think back to
the Santa Claus movie. Tim Allen. It was a big a beast thing. Right. A really big. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
They might see that. Be crazy. Yeah. Yeah. That's like crazy. Always good to talk to you, man. Have a great
morning. All right. Yeah. That's a great day. You too. You too. Best listeners in the radio call
up 424 2600. That is fascinating about the time or how our our our dinners shifted and when
we each shifted. I'm curious too of how much like did did the average work day? Did we work
around that or did the work day work around? Do you minute dinners and all this and everything?
I think we all know kind of probably how what the cause of well and and I've spoken about it
before working you know living out North Dakota around among the farms and the farmers for them
still the big meal of the day is the middle meal the dinner as they called it that lunches at
what we call lunch they had between between breakfast and dinner and then they had another one
between dinner and supper. Yeah. But that's because of the schedule. So much physical labor. Exactly.
Working on a farm. You need the calories to most of us don't need that many calories now. Exactly.
So that that was definitely because of the work schedule that they had to do. That's why that kind
of evolved that way. So and I think as most people you know came from I mean our ancestors were
almost all farmers. Yeah. So I think that had a lot to do with why we eat our eating patterns the
way we do it. So I think that's a good that's a wrap on. Yeah. Let's let's close the kitchen.
Thanks for the first pitch hit in today. Until your next snack we'll open the kitchen again. Yeah.
Nice reference Melissa. Nicely. I caught that nice and pitch it. That was good.
Sometimes I get it. Be listening every Monday for another opportunity to catch the kids to
drive into the kitchen open and of course with that segment this segment is looking for a sponsor

award winning. Yeah. We'll find out in two weekends. We want you to be a part of this show be a part

We're talking to a couple of our businesses that work with us over the weekend and just
glowingly about us. So even if you don't take our word for us you hear people advertise with us
go and ask them. Yeah. Ask them how they're treated. Ask them how we how they how it is to work

I'm very uncomfortable. But that's how much I believe in our station. I believe in segments like
the kitchens open and that we encourage you to be a part of the team. Everybody give our front
desk a call 424 1300 be listening next Monday for another opportunity to catch the kids open.
Tell me something good.
Welcome back everybody. Morning show here at WFHR. Locally grown radio.
A little bit later after our news break we'll get into the 15 badly named things that could have
been better named. Got that coming up. I like the headline. That's a little kind of awkward but I
like it. We'll get into that one looking forward to it. And again audience participation is
encouraged. We look forward to that. Also, Earth Day, the most and least environmentally conscious
states. We'll get into that one a little bit later as well. Find out where we rate. Time for some
entertainment news. But before we do shout out to the heart of WFHR Pam Hilke. Good to see you,
Pam. Pam popped in here and usually comments on some of the things we've talked about. She mentioned
she brought up the bar or soap in the mouth thing. And before she could say anything I just had
this shocking thought of like no way. And of course she said that she hadn't had it done. Right.
But nothing would have maybe shocked me more in my life than Pam telling me that she had
soap in the mouth. Like I would never. I don't know if I would have believed her Pam. I don't know.
We dive into entertainment news and during a 30th anniversary screening of Pulp Fiction last week
John Travolta revealed how he snagged the role of Vincent Vega. Now for those needing a reminder
because it's a little weird to remember now. But John Travolta has had about two or three
comebacks in his career. You know back in the late 70s early 80s his stars never bigger.
It fades after urban cowboy and some of that. And he bounces back with who you talking or
who's talking to the baby movies. Those movies and everything has a little bit of a rise in his
career and everything but then kind of fades away again. And Travolta wants to act more than
anything. He loves to act. This is his passion. This is what he likes to do. So Tarantino being
a huge fan of his reached out to John's agent and arranged a meeting. So John went to Tarantino's
apartment which coincidentally used to be John's apartment back in the day. Oh really interesting
fact. Wow. They spent almost 24 hours together. And the first thing they did was play John
Travolta's board games. Seriously Tarantino had the board game version of Senate fever. Welcome
back hotter and Greece. There was a welcome back hotter board game. I'm just learning this.
I'm just learning this and I need to own it now. I need to the other ones I can get. Those are
big hits and everything but the TV show. I need that game. I need it now. Well during each game
Quentin wanted John to randomly throw out lines his characters would have said. After they
were done playing games, Tarantino decided to help Tarantino with his finances since he was a
young struggling artist. So they sat down and went through everything and made sure Quentin was
on the right path. A week later he gave Travolta's uh Travolta pulp fiction. Why? He told John
quote, it was you helping me with my finances. You had this analytic theoretical philosophical viewpoint
than I need for that character. So John Travolta got the role that brought back his career and put
him where he is today by being good at finances. Wow. How about that? You knew. Just what?
What? That's that is pretty crazy man. Yeah. Yeah. Um and you and I Seth have kind of gotten on
this uh for a little while now about Tarantino and I'm not I've I've from a young me in my before
in my early teen late teens early 20s looked up to him. Me as a grown man. I can't say there's much
I take from him at all. Right. Um I like filmmaker. Yeah. He's been very disappointing to me and
not just as a filmmaker but as a human being. Um I found him and I found some of the the takes that
he's had. I've looked back at some of his work and be like why the feet why so much feet man? What
is with your problem? What is it like all of that? Like some of the stuff that he has done. It's just
is really really sad to see um that he has turned into kind of a caricature of him own
charity. Yeah. His best work is still pulp fiction. Yep. And for a guy who wanted to he is said
that in numerous times that he's only going to do 10 films because he believes filmmakers only
get worse the older they get and he wanted his legacy to be you know 10 great films 10 for 10.
I know. Look look he is a great director and all but there's there's a reason I think he has not
even started on the 10th one yet. It's it's not that different to George R Martin. Yeah.
And not being able to book he may never make it to be honest. He may never make it. So I don't know
but still but but for all those things being said there are things about him that I do appreciate
and I do like and I love a guy like him and his visit no matter where he how big his star has
gotten he's a big believer in giving other people without a chance a chance. Yes he brought Pam
Greer back William Forsyte he brought back so many great actors from the 70s that he grew up on
and a lot of us grew up on that couldn't find work he gave work. He did. Um he it is it is uh
costly because of some of the things I mentioned before but he also put Umat Thurman and kill Bill
in an action role and you didn't see a lot of that. So there's good and bad with a lot of what he
has done in his career. Right. This is part of the good. Yes. I think uh it did just a quick opinion
and and the movie that Tril to made immediately after Pulp Fiction get shorty my favorite performance.
Yeah it's so good. I love that movie. It is such a good movie. Yeah it is it is. Uh Kevin Bacon
visited the high school from foot loose 40 years ago. It's called Pacen High School and it is in
Utah. Kevin says quote 40 years that just blows my mind. Things look a little different around here.
I say the thing that looks the most different is me. Uh it's amazing the power this movie has had
to just kind of bring people together and connect on the basic ideas that are behind the movie
standing up to authority sometimes being forgiving to people who are not exactly the same as you
and standing up for your own freedoms and your own right to express yourself.
The students had been campaigning for Kevin to come visit and even offered to support his
foundation six degrees dot org. That's one of the greatest foundation. Yeah I didn't know.
That's one of the greatest names for an organization effort. Well done sir. They pledged to create
5,000 essential resource kits to contribute to the foundation's goal of 40,000. Kevin thank
the students for giving back to the community and to those in need. Quote I'm thrilled we're going
to be working here together going forward. So it's not the last time he's going to be there or
going to be doing something like this. Is Kevin Bacon like the coolest movie star ever?
I might be. I see him. He seems like like just the most down to earth like lunch, pale actor.
You know like blue collar like this is my job and I know that I get paid a lot and stuff like that
but other than that dude he gets all the jokes. He's in on like the six degrees separate the
Kevin Bacon thing with Guardians of the Galaxy. I mean we're related to him. Yeah you know six
degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon. He's never not been not gotten the joke. He's never
not been had a problem making fun of himself. Never taken himself too seriously. At six degrees
dot org we believe that we are all connected by six degrees or less. We connect people to resources,
share stories and amplify causes to make the greatest possible impact in communities. You can find
out more at six degrees dot org six degrees dot org. He's going to talk about that more. I never
heard of that. Yeah come on Kevin. That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool of him to do that.
And for those that have not heard the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class of 2024 was announced
last night on American Idol. As much as I joke and I make fun of reality shows very well done by
them. Very smart move to do really stand on American Idol. All the eyeballs on that. I mean even
if I'm not watching a lot more people are watching that's a smart move by them I think. I've never
heard of them doing that before so that was probably I mean to get this information out there where
would you go nowadays? Yeah your local news I guess but otherwise there's no MTV. There's no
yeah I know it exists but come on. It's not like it was right yeah. So in the performers category we
have Mary J blood share Dave Matthews band foreigner Peter Frampton cool and a gang
Ozzy Osborne in a tribe called Quest Jimmy Buffett and Diane Warwick are being recognized for
musical excellence same for MC five and one of Motowns creators Norman Whitfield.
Big mom of Thornton will be inducted in the musical influence category along with British
blues musicians Alex corner and John male. I'm at an enter gone Erigan Erigan thank you award
we'll go to Susie Day pass. She's the first leading female executive in the music business.
The introduction ceremony will take place on October 19th in Cleveland. It'll stream live on
Disney plus. It'll be available to stream on Hulu the next day and we'll get a special broadcast
on ABC on a later date. Cool. So I think this is kind of cool. Yeah. I like this year's list.
The class is awesome. I think it's kind of and like I'm not a foreigner fan but I think it's kind
of cool that foreigner kind of like got the got the people to get behind them on this. I think
that's unique. Neat. Interesting. It's wild to see a band like Dave Matthews band going into
the Rockwell Hall of Fame. I know this isn't the first time but him or any of these bands that we
grew up with is weird but it's where we are. It's where we are. Yeah. Yeah. They could make a
Hall of Fame separate for share and Mary J. Blige. They deserve their own. A tribe called Quest is
a long Republic enemy. My favorite hip hop group of all time. So I'm very happy to see that.
Excellent. I was very happy to see that. Cool and the gang probably should have been in before
but there's a couple in there that probably should have been Peter Frampton. I mean we talked about
a little bit again. How can you not have them? You know it was kind of a once in a one big one shot
but what a shot man. Yeah. It was huge. It's nice to see the Jimmy Buffett and Diane Warwick and
Norman Whitfield, you know notes and Norman Whitfield fan. Oh love Norman Whitfield.
But I unless either of you have any notes on this or any feedback on this one. Melissa,
do you got anything on this? No. I'm surprised that some of those names took this long to get in.
Yeah. Yeah. That happens usually every year. And on that front to piggyback off of that.
Ozzy Osborne I believe is in already with Black Sabbath. I believe he's already in the Rockwell
Hall of Fame. I don't believe that the Rockwell Hall of Fame mattered or was truly a truly
existed until now. You cannot talk about the history of Rockwell without Ozzy Osborne.
I understand that he's become a joke to some people or a caricature to some people.
I understand that a lot of people don't want to give him musical respect. I get all of those things
and I'm not begrudging anybody any of those thoughts but I will tell you that this is a man who
changed music. This is a true game changer. We were not alive for this. But back in the 60s,
mid 60s, late early 70s and everything, hippie music, everything is song and dancing. That is
what is on every radio. That is what the major popular music. There are kids around the world
including in London who are struggling, who are fighting, who are coming from blue class
societies and wanting to put something to a voice to this. I'm angry and I want to put a voice to
this. I need music that the music, this isn't my music. This is a mom and the pop is all this
hippie-dippy-lovy stuff that I think. I don't want to get into this. I need something that expresses
how I feel and there's nothing out there like it. So what do I do? I create it. I and my bandmates
make it happen and we come up with this band Black Sabbath. The two this day is the darkest
hardest band of all time. You can send out there any band you want to me. You can go ahead and
send this band, this band, this band that just came out and I will counter with this band. There is
no band that has ever been darker, harder, stronger than Black Sabbath. And Ozzy Osborne is the
main cause of that. Ozzy has gone on to how many guitarists do we know about because he discovered
them and got them out there. There is not many people in the music industry that are as loved
and respected as Ozzy Osborne behind the scenes by music producers, by fellow musicians, by other
people. This guy I've seen perform in his 70s and bring it. Give you more energy than Rob Zombie,
a guy half his age. The Oz Fest thing. Now everybody's got big shows. Oz Fest really got a lot of
that started. A lot of the blues, of course, before it. But Oz Fest really put it on the map and
on a different level. It's insane. The reality TV show thing. Like how big is reality TV without the
Osboards? It's incredible. This man's career and legacy. And I'm not even a giant gynecasi fan.
I'm not even a big Aussie fan. I just think that you give credit where it's due. And it's so easy
to make fun of him. It's so easy to just pick holes at his career. Oh, he's this. He's that.
This is a true musician. This is a true creative that saw an opening and saw something in need
that him and his that fellow bandmates, fellow, you know, people of his generation didn't have and
created it instead of just sitting there and whining or doing what record producers told him to do
or whatever. No, this was the true rebel of music. Ozzy Osborn. And he's still alive. We can
still appreciate him. We can still, you know, give him his nap and let him into the hall of fame.
Right. I think that's I think it's really nowhere. Yeah. Well, it's really cool.
And and that again, we'll be coming up on October 19th if you happen to be in Cleveland or
in catching on Disney Plus. Yeah, that's true. Speaking of Disney Plus, your favorite Muppet
podcast released a new episode segment, segue. We got a new episode of what the Muppet out.
Everybody encourage you to check it out wherever you get your podcast. Go ahead and download it.
Otherwise, if you'd like to check out the video, you can go to YouTube and type it in your search
bar, what the Muppet and check out team Pluto. I didn't know what this is going to be about.
It's a fun episode, everybody. And and James Rant just now just came probably gave you a taste.
Yeah. Yeah. Right. He has a cause. We had some fun with that.
That's good. And thank you so much to everybody supporting the episode.
We hit over a thousand listens and views. And for every thousand views we have,
we give away a t-shirt or something from our from our merch store. So help us get those views
up and maybe get something. Yeah. Yeah. Good shirts, by the way. I like the shirts.
Yeah, they're great. They really are. A breed did a great job on those things.
We appreciate that. We are going to get to our news break. We'll come back. We'll have some more
fun on the morning show. We'll get into these 15 things that uh named badly that deserve better
names. We'll come back with that on the morning show here at WFHR locally grown radio.
Welcome back, everyone. Morning show here at WFHR locally grown radio.
Seth, Melissa and James hanging out with you a little bit.
Hope you're having a good one. A rose by any other name would not be the same.
As we get into 15 badly named things that could have better names. That was brilliant.
Oh. That was brilliant.
No. Just out of the last second. I shouldn't have drawn attention to it but I couldn't help it.
That was really good. What something becomes known as one name no matter how they came that came
to be, those names are very rarely changed. But that won't stop the internet from fantasizing
and hoping that we could re-change things. In an online forum someone asked what is badly named
and what's a better name for it and a lot of people had a lot of fun with this one. So we're
going to get into 15 of these. All right. I think there's some good ones and we of course always
want to hear from all of you. 715-424-2600. Feel free to join us, everybody.
When button dialed in on the civic media. Yeah. How about dentures? Should be subtoots.
Substitutes. Substitutes. That's actually good. I like that one. I like that. It's hard to say
though. That's the only problem. It is hard to say. Yeah. Contractions should be birth quakes.
That's pretty good. That's pretty good. Some moms came up with that one. Shout out to them.
Absolutely. Good job, moms. I don't believe that I will be in a situation again with that,
but I've got it. That's great. That was good. Any bacon alternative should be faken.
I know that might sound derogatory, but I love it. I love it. Yeah. And of course, I think this
what has been said by every little kid for ages, Iceland should be Greenland and Greenland should
be Iceland. Yeah. Oh, yes. We've all understood that. Right. Greenland might need to be renamed again
in a few years anyway. Oh, shit. That's true. Thanks, Brittany. Yeah. Yeah. That's nice.
Similarly, a driveway should be a parkway and a parkway should be a driveway. Yes. Yeah.
Makes sense. Say what they do. Yeah. How does anybody learn English?
That is seriously. Unless you're born and you're forced to. Yeah. Right. Exactly.
And someone suggested that garbage men should be renamed pickup artists.
And that pickup artists should be called garbage men. Oh, I love that one. That one is awesome.
Yes. That's so good. That is so good. That is so good. I have to say, there's some really good
ones out here. This might be my favorite. I was going to save it for last, but I can't open it.
Jet skis should be Boater Cycles. Boater Cycles. Oh, I don't know why that got me so good.
You know, for someone who loads water jet skis, I still have to, I still have to give credit on that.
Really like that. Yeah. I really like Boater Cycle. Astronomers should be called a
Skyenists. Skyenists. Skyentists. Skyentists. Skyentists. Skyentists. There you go. That's not bad.
That's not bad. Donuts should be sugar bagels. I don't want to feel so bad about eating them.
Yeah. Yeah. They're just bagels with more sugar, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
And slightly different consistency. This one, I don't know why, but this one, like,
disturbed me a little bit. Milk should be cereal sauce. The sauce. No, no, no. What sauce in my
cereal? Yeah. It's a consistency thing, right, Melissa? Yeah. Because you think sauce is thicker
and stuff. I don't want milk that's like, oh, that would be weird. All right.
Probably went to turn at some point. I feel like putting half and half on your cereal.
Milk is pancake batter. Nice. Nice. Now, this one, we need everybody to put on
them mature hats. Okay. And on your mature hats, be mature. Hemroids should be considered
asteroids. You can go ahead and figure out them where you should focus the terminology on that one.
You're with two essence. Yeah. A randomized, I really like that one. That's pretty good.
A randomized double blind trial should be a trick or treatment. Oh, that's good.
That's pretty good. A lot of these are like, we have to get scientists on board with
these is what we have to do. I want them to start using it very casually, like when they're
just explaining something, they're not going to call any attention to them, but they're just
going to start using it. So people are like, what? Wait, what did he say?
Well, that's how we get new words as we just use them regularly. That's true. Yeah. Yeah.
We got to convince the scientific community. Hey guys, don't be so serious. Yeah, come on.
Head and shoulders should have a body soap called knees and toes.
Why aren't they on that already? They should get off. Yes, they really should. That's going to happen
in the next six months. Even if they only sell like four bottles, like it's worth it. Yes.
Worth it. And olives should be greases pieces. Oh, no, no. I got to say I got to like that one.
No, two puns. That's too drastic. And the fight of what I have here, a couch should be a human
shelf. I'm going to go sit on the shelf. Sit on the shelf. Watch some TV.
It's got a weird though. It implies certain things. You know, it's a shelf. How do you sit up so
high? You know, this is a fun, fun one. I got one. Oh, good, good. It's very, and I think all
kids know this one too. Like, you know, we were talking about that. Butterfly should be flutterbys.
Oh, yeah, yeah, because they flutter by nothing to do with butter, you know, that makes sense.
Unless you're reading Zance books. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Try not to where everything is. You can find
this complete. Yes, they don't hold up. I agree, but, but they're good though. You can find
the complete list at reddit.com, reddit.com. You'll see things like abbreviation should be a
much shorter word. Too long. You know, there is an abbreviation for the abbreviation.
Dislexia shouldn't also be easier to spell, but it really should. It really should.
Yeah, they're just taunting people with dyslexia now.
They really are, really. Which I'm not appreciative. No, but it's also, it's also, I get it.
It's a fun list. We'll love to hear your references and what you guys think on that one.
We'll have some fun with talking a little earthy in the most least and environmentally conscious
states when we come back on the morning show at WFHR where we are locally grown radio.
Welcome back everyone. Morning show here at WFHR locally grown radio.
Set Melissa and James here with you. We hope you're having a fantastic one out there.
We're going to take a red to the top of the hour. I encourage you to stick around for
Matt and Aaron on the air. Yeah, sure. Check out James Shultz, an awesome show. You get to hear one
of the best voices in radio along with some great banter and always a fun show. And especially,
she really knows how to kick off a Monday. You're going to have a great time with her.
Stick around for that. And all of our other great shows here at Civic Media. Let's dive into
this one everybody. And I think this is kind of a that a right story part of it. And part of
it's a good story of the day. So it's a good way to wrap up our with our final segment.
For some people, how environmentally conscious would you say you are? For some people, it depends.
They'd give themselves an eight when they're combining through the combing through the trash,
separating out bottles and cans and a two at other times. A survey asked 5,000 Americans.
Pretty good a number of people, including residents of every state to rate themselves on how
eco-friendly they are on a scale of zero to 10. The people in New Mexico rated themselves the best
with an average of five out of five point seven. Yes, a 5.7 out of 10 was the highest. At least
people were being honest, I suppose. It sounds like yeah, that would make sense, right?
Residents from California are second most environmentally conscious, followed by people in
Oregon, Delaware, Massachusetts, Vermont, Washington, Florida, Maryland, and Rhode Island. People in
South Carolina admitted being the worst with an average score of 3.9. Tennessee was second,
followed by Arizona, Ohio, and Alabama. Okay. So an interesting list. And I find that the list
being answered by the people of the cities of the states, it makes it a bit no word. It's a
little illuminating too. Yeah. I think it's never a bad idea to be hard on ourselves when it comes
to this subject, but also important to give ourselves some grace and understand that it can't be so
daunting that nobody wants to do anything. Right. You know, we can't get to that point.
If you're wondering, Wisconsin finished 27th in this ranking. Okay.
Title. I'm sorry. Actually, they were tied with Montana for number 26. Okay. Wow, with 4.7. So
almost 50, almost 50, 50. Yeah. There you go. Not bad. So not bad at all. Not bad. Not bad.
And it can always be better, of course, but I think that that's encouraging. And of course,
that that in right part of this is not a state. I'm not calling out South Carolina or Tennessee or
any of these other states. I'm going to call out all of us because we can all do better. Yeah.
We can all be a better store. We can all be the highest just 5.7 out of 10. Yeah. Yeah.
Obviously, there's room for improvement. And that's very high. That's not me trying to guilt
anybody like that's just that's just an observation. And that's something that I am talking about
myself as well. This is not any point of finger. This is me talking to myself as well. And James,
you need to be better too. I think so. Yeah. There's always room for improvement. Yeah.
All of us do the, oh, I should dump this out and recycle it. But it's so much easier to just
throw it in the trash. You know, and some days that is the choice you make. But then there's other
days where you know, I'm going to do this right. I'm going to do it the way I should that I know
is best for the environment. Exactly. And you make the better choice. But, you know, we all,
we have to give ourselves grace as you said, James, some days are harder than others.
Got a, I think a funny one to kind of wrap up on here. I'd say that to this guy, don't quit
your day job, but he doesn't have one now. So I mean, maybe find one. I mean,
using Germany announced that they had to fire an employee after he hung up one of his own
paintings in the modern art section. He's, he's 51 described as a former technician at the
museum. They say he was hoping it might help him break through as an artist. Uh, he, he went in
after hours, he went in after hours and hung the four foot painting on an empty wall alongside
works by people like Andy Warhol. Uh, they, they haven't said much else or, uh, if his painting
was any good, they're not commenting because they don't want to encourage other people to
try it. He, he did get some exposure. They noticed it. Uh, they didn't notice it until midday,
but decided to wait until they closed to take it down. So it was part of the exhibit for a full
eight hours for a full day. How about that? But all they've said is that the painting got no positive
feedback from visitors. Uh, we had to drill two, uh, he had to drill two whole small walls in
the wall to hang it. So on top of losing his job, he could face charges for property damage. Oh,
no. Oh, that's, that's so great. I love that. I just, oh, God, I love that though. It's like,
yes, right here, we have a, an Andy Warhol painting. And we have our go-gan right here. And, uh,
up next, we have a, uh, uh, alch mingle winds. What? I don't remember. Who is this?
Who is this? Is this in the book? Like, what are we looking at? What the what? Uh, let's get a
palette cleanser in and get some good stories of the day. And we'll kick things off with our
schedule. Be sure to join us, uh, of course, today from three to four for playmakers. Nobody
made a highlight from the sidelines. Get in the game. Our friends over our quality plus printing
sponsor. This hour for us giving us an opportunity to talk with you about sports. Uh, we'll be doing
that a little bit later. And at three thirty today, Mike Clemens is going to be joining us. Hey,
it's a head of Mike. Very cool. Yeah. Good friend Mike Clemens. I reached out to Mike and he was
nice enough to, uh, improv with me and pull an audible and join us to talk a little draft. Talk about
what Green Bay has gotten mine for the draft. Any draft memories he has and everything. We'll talk
about that. I've already heard from some of our listeners that they are going to be reaching out
and talking a little bit of, uh, Wisconsin is, um, actually, let me, I'm just going to read this
right from Kevin. Kevin reached out. Uh, we're going to athletic directors are voting on N I R N I L rules
for Wisconsin today or talk a little bit about that as well. So a jam packed hour. A big thank you
to quality plus printing sponsoring the hour. Uh, looking forward to that and the best listeners
and radio. You guys made that hour very popular. We appreciate that. Yes. It's going to be a lot of
fun. Just laugh a little bit about draft memories. The tragic. Your favorite draft memories. Oh,
my memories of the draft are so cherished. I, uh, I look forward to you, uh, calling up, uh,
I can't wait. She's not wrong. It's gotten insane. She's, no, a hundred percent, a hundred percent.
I own this. I'm a nerd. I am, I am, I am weird about the draft and, and my fellow draftites
are the same. It's true. She's so right. You're so right. I just hope they're self aware of it.
That's all. Uh, today at 455 on W I R I, or I'm sorry, tomorrow on 455 on W I R I be sure to check
Merrill at Wisconsin Rapids High School baseball. Uh, and we're looking forward to that and
Milwaukee Bucks basketball playoff basketball be on our radio as well. I'm sorry. I'm rereading
our schedule from last week. Oh, whoops. Whoops. Just caught that. As I was saying, and I'm like,
wait a minute. That doesn't seem right. I run for you to do that. I believe the bug. There's a
box game tomorrow, though, on Tuesday. It's a box game tomorrow. That's why I got distracted. I knew
there was a game tomorrow. Yes, there is. I'm looking forward to that. We will be covering a
high school baseball for you. Uh, be on the lookout for that ever. Yes. Uh, we got some local good
stories going on as well. Seth wants you to touch on one of them. Yeah, you heard Melissa talk
about this. In our news, there is a blood drive today. Everybody from two to seven at the former
East junior high school room 111, please park on Lincoln Street and enter off there. Uh, appointments
aren't courage call 800-280-4102-800-280-4102. Watkins are also welcome. Of course, if you get a chance
to do it, please do it to two to seven today at the former East junior high school.
Mm-hmm. Uh, keep in mind that going on today is the never forgotten honor flight central
Wisconsin airports. Well, that'll be taking place. Safe travels to all of our friends. Yes.
And this Wednesday is Heroes Cafe Across View Church. Be sure to check that out. We'll talk more
about that tomorrow. Do and remind everybody as well that our friends over at the United Way
are looking to build teams for the United Weekend, uh, event hunger event coming up. Uh,

and by giving them a call at 421-0390-421-0390. Email him, Ben at uwac.org, and be sure to find out
more at uwac.org. All right. Uh, looking at some world good stories, sometimes in Eagle Eye,
can see a needle in a haystack. Mm-hmm. A couple was digging up a fishing net that was caught in
the sand on a Texas beach. And as they were flinging sand and shells out of the way, they spotted
the diamond ring. The ring had been lost a month earlier by another couple. They had asked, uh,
they had tasked a group of local metal detectors to look for it, and they were also on the beach at
the time so they helped connect the ring with its owner. Even crazier before the ring was on Earth,
it was apparently, uh, buried too deep for the metal detectors to have found it. Oh, wow. How about
that? Kind of interesting. Fascinating. Mm-hmm. Two years ago, 47 cats were rescued after being
found crammed into a hot car at a, uh, a rest stop in Minnesota. Oh, no. Oh my, oh my. The cats were
piled from floor to ceiling, and their owner had been living in the car with them. The owner
agreed to surrender the cats to animal shelters, and now one of those cats is a model in an ad campaign.
What? For a target. Twist. Yeah. Uh, for a target, too. Not just anything. It's like a Pixar movie
and the main thing. It kind of does. It kind of does. Uh, and, and I have to say this too, uh,
target has done things like this forever. Uh, as long as there's been targets, they've been putting
into things in Minnesota and doing things Minnesota based and all that. Uh, I admire, very similar to
culverts, I think for us here in Wisconsin. Uh, target has always been very good about that shout
out to them about those things. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And a hospital in Spain is bringing dogs into the ICU,
their therapy dogs, and they're being brought into health comfort patients. It's optional.
And patients in the program receive two visits each week of 15 to 20 minutes each.
Oh, that's great. It's a nice story. Good story. Good story. Yeah. Very good story.
Be the good story out there. Everybody, we encourage you to do that. Spread the word. Uh,
and get us your good stories. We'd love to hear them. Uh, encourage a little love today.
