Hour 1: DIFTP

Mornings with WFHR · Tue Apr 30, 2024

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.

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

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

Good morning.

We up here having a good day, everybody, thanks to the best listeners radio for joining

us.

We're looking forward to hanging out with you, hoping to hear from our friend Brittany and

get a forecast update for you.

If not, we'll have some weather for you a little bit later.

We'll let you know what's going on.

It's cloudy.

Yeah, it's cloudy.

There you go.

It's got to cover it.

You can take the show off, Brittany.

You can.

Done.

We have got other good news for you a little bit later.

We'll also get into some other fun stuff.

El Café, birthday and anniversary club coming up.

Thank you.

Are you excited?

All that.

The whole anagrams from Gen Zers are changing, YOLO, LMFAO all of them are done.

They're all lame now.

We're going to get into new ones.

They'll stop being cool because we talked about them.

Let's make things uncool!

Yeah, yeah, it was our hoffe in life.

Here's how exactly how long you should spend sitting, sleeping each day.

We've got some science on that one.

We'll plot out your day for you.

How off we are, those is what I'm looking at.

All that coming up for you, 9 o'clock hour, we'll have some entertainment news for you.

I want to talk a little bit about some recent comments from Jerry Seinfeld.

I want to talk about some stuff that Sandra Bullock has come across or, yeah, in Halfway.

In Halfway is coming out well, talking about, we also want to talk a little bit about

local theater.

A lot of local kids shows going on and local main stage shows going on.

It was Councilor Abbott's Community Theater.

We went on Highlight.

Also in the 9 o'clock hour, the most exciting, boring adult things we do, we'll get into

that.

Okay.

And Melissa, I believe you sent this one over a little bit ago about this interesting stash

that they found at George Washington's area in Mount Vernon.

Oh, yeah, that one.

Yeah.

I want to get into that.

Yeah.

I look forward to all of this going on and we'll of course get into our schedule for

the day and then plenty more for you.

But it turns out today is the day to be productive, everybody.

Today is?

Today, yes.

Yes.

So if you had plans to be lazy today, you might have to switch that with Wednesday or something

like that.

If the four-day work week ever arrives, maybe we should get Mondays off.

If you believe in astrology, it might be a good idea.

Some astrology writer just did a big, big, big article on how the work week should really

start on Tuesday because it's the best day to be productive.

She says, due to the lunar influence, a Monday is really a better day to reflect, record,

and set the tone of the day's to come.

She claims our ancient ancestors spent Mondays cleaning, cooking, and staying naked all day.

Hey, I like that plan.

Hey, oh.

I mean, maybe not the naked part here in Wisconsin in the cold months, but...

If I'm all alone, it's fine.

If there's other people around me, that just feels like I'm hurting other people.

I don't want to do that.

Tuesday.

You're hurting other people.

Tuesday is...

I have offended your eyeballs.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so...

It's very hard to be motivated with...

Or maybe not.

Tuesday is ruled by bars, though, which supposedly means it's a...

You've got a war.

That's what I always thought.

It also apparently means it's a good day for bold action, direct confrontation, and

a healthy competition.

So her advice...

Those are all war things.

Kind of, yeah.

They do kind of...

So her advice is to try to be productive as you can today, and don't let anything stop

you.

Quote.

But it's not specifically the 30th of April.

It's every Tuesday.

Every Tuesday.

Yeah.

Quote, if you have an important agenda to push, a meeting to host, or need to fire a slew

of people, make Tuesday your day to do it.

Geez.

Fire?

Okay.

Fire people on a Friday.

Yeah.

I was just going to say, I mean, I only know this from the other side.

I only know this from big fire.

I've only been fired on a Friday.

Yeah.

I don't know.

I do know of some...

Like, there are some job situations where you stay on the job, even when you're fired

until, you know, such and such time or whatever, but I've never understood that.

That doesn't seem like a very smart management move at all.

But, you know, again, I've never done it, so what do I do?

But I took this very differently.

I thought the article, the way it was going is, hey, if you've got, you know, man, I

got to get a lot of things done.

I should do it on Tuesday, because that's a motivation.

That's a day that I have more energy, more productivity, more motivation and everything.

It feels like towards the end of the article, it started to get more about, you know, just

competing and things that take a little bit more, well, like she says, bold action.

So I don't know.

I mean, I guess you could do both.

You can, it can be bold things, but...

I suppose.

I think that most of us know logically that we are more productive on Tuesday because it's

not Monday.

Yeah.

Which, by the way, if we got rid of Monday, wouldn't that just mean that we'd do that

on Tuesdays?

No, I don't think so.

No.

I don't think so, James, because then we'd have, you know, like, we would have the three

day weekend.

We can have fun on Saturday and Sunday, spend Monday getting ready for the week, cooking,

cleaning, whatever, blah, blah, blah, go to bed early, wake up ready to go on Tuesday.

And you get to do it all in your birthday suit.

You get to do it all in your birthday suit.

Only if you want to.

Or you're free.

I would never clean naked.

That is never going to happen.

No, that's something...

Unless you're cleaning the shower.

Yeah.

Would you swap?

Yeah.

They were like baking soda.

Is there something innocuous?

Inocuous?

Mm-hmm.

Is there something different than innocuous?

Inoculation.

I don't know.

Ew.

Not in the shower.

Okay.

Real quick question.

Okay.

And let's be honest, we're all friends here.

We're all friends.

Okay.

This is a safe area.

This is all safe.

Seven, one, five, four, two, four, twenty, six hundred.

Are you...

Are you the kind of person that cleans the shower while you're taking a shower?

Like you see something, you're like, oh, that ain't right.

And I got to clean that.

You start to...

You stop what you're doing just to clean in the shower.

Sometimes, like if you pick up the shampoo bottle and underneath it, there's, you know,

a ring of whatever dust.

Yeah.

You know, the ledge where you keep the bottles, it's always like a gunk under there and it

dries your nuts.

Yeah, a little bit of gunk.

So I...

I will be in there an extra five minutes cleaning the gunk.

Like, I'll be in there.

Which is your hand.

Yeah, just...

Oh yeah, just my head.

Yeah.

Just...

I'll take the shower head.

Just gonna blast this off here.

Stay tuned for more information that you didn't need to know from James.

Stop messing all the hot water, James.

That's...

Yeah, that has been a issue.

Well, I was...

I was like, this is a gint.

This is a shower cleaner?

Why are you complaining?

Come on.

Show us later.

Come on, everybody.

How do you do?

It turns out Tuesday is today to be motivated.

One other interesting point of this Melissa that I hadn't really thought of and this is interesting

to me just because you and Seth and I over the last couple of years have really talked

a lot.

I think we've covered this whole four-day work week more than anybody else.

When we're talking about it, I always think of Monday through Thursday and then Friday,

Saturday, Sunday, those would be the off days.

This kind of model looks at it more of Tuesday through Friday we're working Monday...

Yeah.

Saturday, Sunday, Monday we're off.

And I kind of...

I don't...

I dig both of them.

I like both.

But I kind of like that one a little bit more, I think.

Both are great.

But also, there are people that it might have to cycle.

Some people might work Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.

I think in order to make this work, for certain jobs, they're going to have to.

They're going to have to cycle them.

There are certain jobs.

There's other jobs where I don't really know how we would do it.

I don't know how you would like this job.

I don't know how you would do that four days instead of five.

Outside of the fact that if everybody goes to this kind of schedule and it becomes the

norm.

But then I would feel bad for the people that are still working five days a week that

we're not here every morning.

So it's just a weird thing to be able to work out, but it's all worth it.

It's all worth working out.

Maybe we just need to go back to one day a week where most things are just closed.

Wouldn't that be...

You know, it's the perfect time to just disconnect from your whatever stuff and spend time

with family, friends, outdoors.

Maybe that should be Monday.

Yeah.

I love the idea of that.

We used to have a Sunday as a day of rest.

I don't know when the last time I rested on a Sunday was.

I don't.

I really don't.

I'm not exaggerating.

I don't think I'm alone on that.

It's clean house.

Do laundry and prep food for the week.

I mean, it's a busy day.

Yeah.

I like the...

I like what you're cooking there.

I like that.

You know, the idea of Monday's...

Let's just shut down on Monday.

Let's go ahead and see if we can get this one on some bill.

I got a representative crew coming in soon.

We'll talk to Scott about this.

We'll talk about this.

There you go.

And then let's talk to Patrick too.

Yeah, yeah.

We'll get him all out of this.

We'll get him tested.

It's a reach out to Katrina too.

I just get her out board on this one.

Yeah.

Why not?

She doesn't have enough on her plate.

Right, right, right.

And I love how all these people I'm calling my first name.

I like it.

Right.

Oh, I hope they understand.

It's all in...

It's all in French.

We will take a quick commercial break.

We'll come back doing some celebrating

with the El Café Birthday and Anniversary Club.

It's Melissa and James taking you through your morning.

Right here on WFHR, locally grown radio.

So nice, my birthday.

So nice, my birthday, when I party like that.

It's time for the El Café Birthday and Anniversary Club.

Enjoy your day, Tony.

Oh, it's a good one for you.

This is two days in a row.

We had a Tony with, it spelled differently.

And neither one tells me if it's a mad or a woman.

Did I love that?

I like that.

Well, how's this one spelled?

T-O-N-I.

Okay.

Yeah, so.

Because I've known men and women with that name.

So that's good.

It's fun.

Tomorrow.

Yeah.

I mean, you could use that for this weekend then.

Yes.

For the fifth, because they got like chicken or beef tacos,

nachos.

Ooh, that sounds like for five bucks.

Yeah.

You could feed your whole family.

It's so good.

And you might win this $2.20 gift certificates

from El Café tomorrow.

Be listening to find out.

You never know.

Yeah, never know.

Let's go ahead and take a look at our celebrity list here.

Travis Scott is 33, rapper and, I believe,

married to Kylie Jenner.

He does a bunch of viral concerts on Fortnite and stuff.

It's a big rapper right now.

I'll be honest.

I don't know him.

I don't know him at all.

I don't know much of his music or anything, but.

We'll recognize the name.

That's about it.

Yeah, yeah.

Anna D. Armis is 36, Cuban Spanish actress,

starred in John Wick in Ballerina.

She was in Knives Out.

She was really good at Knives Out.

No time to die.

Blade run her 2049.

And as she played Marilyn Monroe and Blonde,

and did her, from what I've heard, a very good job.

She's a good actor.

I really want to see Knives Out.

That's on my list.

The first one, I haven't seen the second one.

The first one, really good.

Really good.

I love a good murder mystery.

And man, it was good.

I thought it was a good one.

A couple of great actresses back to back here.

Gal Gadot is 39.

Wonder Woman is 39, everybody.

She's not on contract to play Wonder Woman anymore.

It does look like she has wrapped that up.

But I really hope that she, she, by all rights,

should, you know, see work as much as she wants.

She's a great actor.

It was really cool to see her as Wonder Woman.

For those that don't know, Gal Gadot is a born and raised

in Israel.

She is a Jewish woman and see somebody like that

in that role is something I never thought I'd ever see.

So I thought it was pretty cool.

And she's in all the faster, well,

most of the fast and furious movies, right?

Yeah, she's Jacelle in those.

Yeah.

She's good.

It's good actor.

Good actor.

Kristen Dunst is 42.

Mary Jane in the Spider-Man movies,

the interview with a vampire, she was in her first role.

Just like, Tom Cruise, the human being,

we could talk about another time.

But Tom Cruise, the actor, very, very strong actor,

very good actor, Brad Pitt, very strong actor.

Kristen Dunst at a young, young, young age,

like stole scenes from them.

Like, she's a good actor.

The interview with the vampire was just that,

the fact that it also terrified me.

But Jumanji, she was so good at that.

Yeah, she's really good at that.

Yeah, a year later, and then five years later,

she was in Bring It On.

Oh, yeah.

That's right.

I watched all of her movies.

She's good.

She's got the Virgin Suicides.

That's a tough watch.

That's a tough watch, but I'm very good at it.

Well, that's not something my parents

would have allowed me to watch.

Yeah, yeah.

Even in high school.

I feel for you on that.

I, that's one of those movies that I,

it's a tough watch, but I think it's a really important

and good one.

Sophia Coppola directed that.

And it was her first movie she directed.

And it's, it's a powerful movie.

It's very, very powerful.

Just incredible performances acting once.

Johnny Galecki is 49.

Wow, Leonard on the Big Bang Theory.

He was David on Rosanne, where a lot of us met him.

Good actor, good actor.

Let's see here.

Isaiah Thomas is 63, former NBA star and NBA coach.

I believe he's in the Phoenix Suns front office now.

He was part of the Detroit Pistons for many, many years.

And I won a couple of championships with them.

The bad boy Pistons.

They were, it was basically a hockey on, on, on the court.

The way the Pistons played.

And so much so that, so the Pistons are beating the bulls.

The way the basketball used to go, Melissa,

you really had to earn winning in the playoffs.

You, you had to have heartbreak.

And the bulls went through this like every other franchise.

And most of the time it was the Detroit Pistons

that beat the bulls up.

Michael Jordan, like lost to the bull, the Detroit

and the playoffs spent the whole off season working out,

getting buffer, getting bigger, getting stronger,

getting better at defense.

And I want to thank the Detroit Pistons,

because without them, I don't know if I have six championships.

That's just Chicago Bulls fan.

Um, the motivation, you have those championships.

Yeah, they're all, yeah, I could, I could say we.

Yes, yes, I could say we because I was bored of the city

that they, they happened to reside in.

It is hilarious.

It's got to be hilarious for somebody who doesn't care

about sports to hear people say we, and it's, it's got to be.

It's, it's really, it's my championships.

But that's, that's, uh, it's something

that I think is actually relatable for everybody.

Whether we like it or not, sometimes, um, in, in fact,

almost all the time, competition is what brings out the best in us.

Hmm.

You know, if there was one thing that I would like to see,

because that we've talked often about the fact that politics

kind of is resembling sports teams now.

Yeah.

If there's one thing I'd like to see cross over with that,

it's that ownership.

Yeah.

This is my politician, and they are doing things for me

and winning things for me.

Yeah.

You know, uh, I, I heard 100% of that analogy of that, but it just

occurred to me.

Well, you're so right.

I mean, if, if people are going to do this with, there's, uh,

their political parties and everything and where it like,

it's their sports team, why not take it that far?

Two and treat it that way.

No, they're stats.

Yeah.

What they've won and what they've lost and what they're running for and what

they're doing.

I could go up to any Packer fan right now and they're going to be able to tell

me some stats on any of the great players, uh, and that team's history.

Um, so I think that the same should be the least you should be able to do

that about your local politicians.

Hey, what bills have they passed?

Hey, what have they done?

Well, they've been on office.

Have they gotten anything done?

Because it has to come down to more than party.

I am so sick and tired of political parties.

Yeah.

They're worthless.

Political parties are worthless.

I will stand on that.

They are worth less, especially when they, you know, gone with the, the, the

Democrats now were the Republicans of, of, you know, Lincoln's era.

Right.

Yeah.

They've completely flipped.

Completely flip-flop.

Um, and it doesn't, uh, all people, all the only time that parties come into play is

when they want to use it to get their person in.

It's not about their views or their beliefs or their, or the most important part.

Or constituents.

Right.

It's not about any of those things.

It's about, we got to get a win, win at all costs.

The politicians have been treating politics like, like sports for decades.

Right.

Um, and it's old.

It's gotten lame and tired, and I'm so sick of it.

Even, even us, uh, whatever, you know, I vote for if I see people doing it, it bothers

me.

Like, it's enough.

Uh, just stand on your own name, stand on your own beliefs, your own, what you're

fighting for.

I'd love to see more politicians be like, yeah, I got an R&D in front of my name, but

that's not what I'm about.

I'm about you.

I'm about the constituents.

That's what I'm doing for the people in my district.

My party's going to do what it's going to do.

I'm going to do this for you.

I'm going to do right by you.

Mm-hmm.

And we do have a few politicians that are doing that.

Yeah.

Which I'm grateful for.

Mayor.

Not to derail sports talk in politics.

Let's get back to birthdays.

Where young is 84, uh, would have been 84 today, born in 1940, passed away in 2023.

Oh.

Rocky's no good brother-in-law, Paulie and the Rocky movies, uh, good, good character actor,

great character actor.

Good expressions.

Yeah.

And, uh, Chloris Leachman, uh, one of the greats, I love, love, love, Chloris Leachman.

Mama on Fox's comedy, Raising Hope, uh, you might know where I've missed Garrett and

the replacement Beverly Ann on Facts of Life.

Uh, she was Flaw Brutcher in Young Frankenstein.

Oh.

Uh, Chloris Leachman, just incredible actor, great actor.

So good.

Uh, and, uh, Al Lewis, uh, another great actor, uh, would have been celebrating a birthday

today, born in 1923, Grandpa Munster on the Munsters.

Mm-hmm.

It was a fun show.

I didn't watch a lot of that.

I watched the Adam's family.

Me too, yeah.

Yeah.

I didn't, and I didn't see much of the Munsters, to be honest, what a little bit I did.

It was okay.

It was, it was a fun show.

All right.

It was always a little more confusing to me, though, because they had like Frankenstein

with Mary to a vampire right, uh, and like the uncle was a wolf man or something, or

I like, uh, it just seemed like the Monster Mash, uh, song, like brought to, the brought

like this, uh, brought to life.

Yeah.

And it was a little more campy than the Adam's family.

Oh, that reminds me, Melissa.

I came across a, a, a new, good, bad movie we have to watch.

Oh.

It's called Monster Mash.

And it's, it's just a, uh, like a B movie of like just all the different horror monsters

brought together, but they're like doing it to the theme of the song, I think.

Like it, it looks like they're trying to make it like a, like a, like a, like a monster

convention.

Like a funny horror movie.

I don't know.

I didn't, I only saw the trailer like, I only like, I was half watching it, but it did

look like something that we, a good, bad movie, much like Lama Getten, uh, that, that

we have to watch sometime.

Yeah.

Check that one out.

So our time, we want to wish happy birthday is to Tony Summers.

Happy birthday, Tony.

And to our qualifier, Alice Nelson.

Happy birthday, Alice.

Congratulations.

Remember, be listening tomorrow.

We'll be announcing our winners for April.

Yeah.

They're going to win themselves, uh, two gift certificates of $20 from our great friends

over at L Cafe.

Go visit our friends at L Cafe.

They're open right now.

Yeah, head and head on over there.

Wish them a great day.

Remember that they're open from two to six, uh, on Sunday for, uh, single to mile.

And of course, uh, keep in mind a story time with Kathy McGrath is moved to this Friday

from four to four, forty five.

And even though there's construction going on, you can still get there, take Sonica Road

and head on down that direction.

And I think you turn, I had the directions here and I lost them.

Um, you know, I will say this, uh, when it comes to, uh, construction in the Port Edwards

area, they do a really, really good job of giving you navigation and getting around

everything.

Yeah.

And left on Port, then left on Verbunker, spent a lot of time in that area and I've always

appreciated, uh, when they do it, it's, it's, uh, um, it's not a clouded area, a crowded

area, but there's a lot going on.

And so when they're able to get construction done, it's, you know, and, and keep people

moving.

That's always great.

Yeah.

Well, and that's the main thoroughfare through there.

Yeah.

So it's kind of a, you got to just go, go around.

It's fine.

Yeah.

And when you get to see the water tower, yes, and when you get there, wish them a good

birthday, uh, good day from all of us here at WFHR, we're going to get to our news break.

We'll come back.

And we're going to have some fun talking a little bit about, um, uh, these expressions

that are changing, yolo and all this.

We're going to get into those, uh, coming up on the morning show here at WFHR.

Welcome, welcome back, everybody, morning show here at WFHR, locally grown radio.

We hope you're having a good one out there.

James and Melissa here with you, hope you're enjoying your day.

Get ready to call up four, two, four, twenty, six hundred because we want your participation

on this one.

Hmm.

Want to hear from you.

Yes, we do.

If you're over 50 and use any of these terms, you're going to look so, uh, uh, uh, Chigi,

Chigi.

That's the opposite of cool, I should say.

That's the opposite of cool.

So Chigi or cringe, uh, but here, here, there, but there we go anyway with some of these.

Someone pulled Gen Z ears and asked them to name the most outdated acronyms.

They think our quote cringe now, uh, for example, LOL is number one.

If you texted to someone in the early, in their early twenties, they'll think you're

a boomer, even if you're not.

So here are 10 more outdated terms and what a Gen Z ear might say instead.

Okay.

All right.

Here we go.

First judge people, but with their acronyms.

Okay.

Right, right, right.

Next, it'll be emojis.

Yes.

Go on.

Yeah.

Instead of YOLO, right?

D-I-F-T-P, uh, do it for the plot.

It means you're the main character in your life, so don't avoid things.

Do what it takes to move the story along.

And that's in replace of what?

YOLO.

I can't remember all that.

I can't.

I'm going to be honest.

I'm not going to take the time to remember these things.

I don't even know what YOLO means.

I'm just sending an emoji.

I'm just.

That's not in the loop of no, no.

I am googling YOLO.

What does that mean?

Um, instead of KK, right bet KK only live once.

Sorry.

Go on.

It means okay, like you're on board.

Bet means the same thing, like you bet, or okay, or a thumbs up, but actually somebody texted

me bet the other.

I think it was Laura.

Laura.

I was like, um, okay.

People, like people who have younger kids are, whether they realize it or not, do incorporate

some of these.

I have heard a lot of that.

I can always tell when a teacher has kids and young kids because they'll, they'll know

some of the things that the students are saying.

Right.

Yeah.

Obviously that's Laura.

Laura's got young kids because she just texted me Chouji.

Am I saying it right or is it Chou-

Chou-

yczou-

Chou-

Worse.

Chou Le Wheat

Chou-

for

Well, and then even some of them when you look them up, it doesn't even, it's not even like

Straight forward on what it means like L.K.R. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I had likewise likewise right what is that mean?

What does that mean?

This this happened ages ago. I don't remember how long ago it was but a student texting me and

Algorithm and I'm looking it up and I can't find it and I can't find it and so I just was like, you know

I'm just gonna fall into so I'm just gonna go ahead and ask and I because I needed to get things moving

I ask and she's like, oh spell checked it. I messed it up and it was actually this that she was trying to set

That's that's just my life. I just died laughing James. Go emoji. Scull emoji

Don't say or maybe it's I K.R. I know right. Oh, yeah

K.R. Nice. Yes, but I and L, you know, depending on if they use

Bigger little it's it. I'm almost positive. That's what it was. I'm almost positive

It was L.K.R. And if you look at L.K.R. together

It looks like somebody just smashed a bunch of letters. It doesn't look like it. It shouldn't mean anything

Don't say this say clap back

clap back

Yeah, stop calling things fire say lit, but I thought lit was lame. No wait a minute

I had a student tell me lit was lame

That was like not even a couple months ago

Ten minutes ago. I can't keep up with this now. It's now it's now it's back in again, James

Don't call things gross. Call them Ick like we did when we were children like we were

Alright, they're just running out of stuff

They the young people just recycling it just like fashion

I am not one of those people that believes that all the younger generation this younger generation that I I talked to the younger

Generation all the time and I got a lot of hope a lot of faith in the younger generation

Except when it comes to coming up with new cool slang terms because you guys are messing this up

You're thinking you're thinking maybe it's it's our fault. Maybe we used all the good ones. I don't know

But this is not I don't know see now. This is how you flatter right you you

impersonation or what what are they what is the saying it's the impersonation imitation is the fun imitation is the best form of flattery

Yes, that's it see they're just imitating us from how many decades ago

Yeah, yeah, wow for it to come back. I don't like mullets and and bell bottoms so true so true

Never say give me the four will one four one one no one under 40 knows that that's the number for directory assistance

Probably don't tell him the eighty six at either that kind of what that means either

I used to love saying that

I guess I should say that anymore

What's the tea or spill the tea is what most people are saying now it is

And what does tea stand for spill the tea I get I mean, yeah

It doesn't really have a meaning other than you know, I know in the south a lot of people

You know, let's have some tea. Let's talk and then they you know, they they talk about other families and stuff and yeah

Stop calling I'm just gonna tell them to spill the coffee there. I like that even better stop calling crazy people

Kray and 2024 they're Delulu

Delulu or short for delusional

Cheese I do like Delulu better than Kray Kray because that one drove me nuts

I think that um it's fair if you just want to start making up

Slang terms and just start using them. I just I do it all the time. Yeah, it's so cake

Well, exactly. It's not a made-up word. No, it's got a made-up meaning. Yep

From a list and I anytime we want to say like we're texting each other and something's cool

We just said a cake about you. It's okay. It's okay. So cake

We're making this a thing. I don't care. We're making um, I I challenged the young people out there to please

Push the boundaries and come up with some new ones please. Yes

Because otherwise, you know, I mean, I'll just throw out there radical nobody's using that and been used that one in a while

Rad was always yeah, yeah, rad was always fun. That's a fun one

Well, it's not that old. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this is I was I was gonna agree with you that it is that I started to wait

But in the in the broad scheme of of our actualize we are not that old james. No, no, we're not no

I mean if we're if you're looking at us at 10 yet world, but comparison there. Yeah, but otherwise not I don't

I refuse to think that 47 is old. I am not doing that. No

Ask me when I'm 57 probably say the same thing, but for now, that's where I'm standing. I'm standing on how you feel

We're gonna come back and we're gonna get into some fun stuff for you everybody. We got to speaking how you feel

How many miles do you drive a year? We're gonna see how you feel about that

We can get into that one and plenty more on the morning show here at WFHR locally grown radio

Welcome back everybody morning show here at WFHR locally grown radio

You

We hope you're having a good Tuesday out there. Thanks for joining us Melissa and James here with you

Got some fun stuff to get you to take you to the top of the hour

And here's an interesting one Melissa

Add it up the time you spend at work on the couch

Everywhere how many hours will you spend sitting today? A new study looked at the exact amount of time the average person should sit

Stand and sleep and exercise in a typical day

The good news is you should feel free to spend a significant amount of time or your life kicking back

The bad news is most of us are well over the ideal number already

Yeah, but we knew that so here's the healthy combo to go forward with

Sleep for eight hours and 20 minutes, but as little as 7.5 hours a day. Okay. Okay. That's a range

Know you're laughing at the end the rest of us are like yeah, that's reasonable

Oh stop it. I don't need help. No, I do. Oh, hold hardly. That's why I'm laughing holistically because I haven't got enough sleep

I just thought about what I would be like with eight hours of sleep, and I can't imagine I really can't wrap my mind around that

I wonder what I'd be like

Sit for six hours even seven might be fine

But if you watch a lot of Netflix and have a desk hour have a desk job

You're probably over that already

So maybe try to get more standing in your day, you know, your night or when you're out of work

Yeah

Stand for five hours and 10 minutes. That's just standing and walking around

It doesn't include time spent exercising

Okay, hmm interested

Four hours and 20 minutes engaged in some level of physical activity

Half should be light activity like walking or doing housework the other half should be moderate to intense activity

So two hours two hours of moderate to intense activity. That's what they're saying. Yeah, every day

Yeah, and and and they're not I mean, I don't know if it's obvious or how but they're not saying to do you know

You need to do this or should do this for two hours consecutively solid. Yes

You're right. They're breaking all these things up into time

So that sleep part say you get six hours of sleep a night try to get an hour nap in something like that

I'm just from what I'm gathering putting together here from the article

Mm-hmm

I mean, and now when you put it like that it doesn't seem as impossible

No, but when you're like for me who who has trouble getting 10 minutes of exercise moderate to you know

Intense exercise a day that two hours seems daunting. Yeah

Well, and and and I'll say on the other side of that male

I don't have any problem usually getting my workouts in but obviously I've trouble with sleep

So those workouts aren't being as beneficial for me because I'm not getting enough sleep. Right. So eight hours of sleep is daunting to you

It's just weird

So I and I do think now and maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way maybe with most of these kind of things we go over

You should be these are our goals. They shouldn't be something to beat yourself up

Oh, I didn't get eight hours of sleep. You know should be a goal to try to get that or something

But we are talking about our human health are in our mental health and everything and when it comes to that

Maybe we should be striving for getting exactly to these marks

Well, you know, we don't have to be exact, but I think you're right

We need to definitely something to strive for but you shouldn't beat yourself up too hard because guilt is not a motivator

No, it's not a good motivator

Now I've never known a person. I've never met a person who is motivated by fear by guilt those things

They they slow us down from our goals. They keep us from our goals to be fair if I'm running from a bear or a man

That's fear and I'm you know, that's a good motivator, but

Otherwise, no fear is not a good motivator. I have been in that situation not from a bear

but

Running from people before or situations before and it was never fear that made me ran

It was it was not wanted to get caught. It was it was you know certain things. I hear what you're saying. I think that

Fear I don't see fear ever as a motivator. I think that it is other factors that we you know that that keep us moving

You're not you're it's not that you're afraid of the bear you're afraid of dying. You're afraid of getting hurt

That is a fear. So, you know, they're they're but I think it's more about survival

It's a survival in the context of like exercising. I just I have multiple friends who have told me. Yeah, I don't run

Unless I'm being chased

But just to put this out there. I think I'm team bear. Yeah, yeah team bear

Yeah

I like that. Not that I'm on tiktok, but I've got team bear

The out of all these I think that they're all they can be difficult given you know who you are out there

I think it's hard to find the time to exercise. Yes

We live we have incredibly busy lives that we're and we're expected to to multitask doing everything

I I tried multitasking doing work and exercising at the same time

It didn't work James. Yeah, yeah, it didn't work. I uh, I was just doing sit-ups

It so

This yourself up off the floor. We're coming back on air. This is I just bring the mic down and this is uh

Actually, it's really good for pull-ups. I do pull-ups in between every set and so I say

One of the things that uh that that frustrates me and I think a lot of us when it comes to this stuff is this is all great

That sounds really good. I'll get on this right away

When I retire

Which I'm probably never going to be able to do

now i who

Who has the time to put all of these things first

When when we when we all know that things our life is time-sensitive and you all I got to work

I have to keep my job

I've got to keep a paycheck because I got to keep my apartment or my house or I got etc etc etc

I have to care my family or my pets or you know, I mean we are very very often we put ourselves last and and we've

We've done this the wrong way as far as a society goes like we have we have put

Work in the pay in the dollar bill ahead of uh our own mental health and our own office

Yeah, so I but I mean there's no there's no snap in our fingers and fixing that that takes us as a society changing that and

Changing what we're looking for in life what we want in life

But you know an interesting experiment and I would be curious to try this

If you know if I could find the time um

But to track like see okay one day. I'm gonna just track how much time I spend sitting

Yeah, you know don't try to track all of them in us at the the same day because you would I don't know how you would do that

Yeah, good luck. Yeah, I have a hard enough time tracking

Yeah, but no

Just one of those things how much time do I actually spend

Standing and walking I'm a little curious uh to you know the people that have the step watches or what?

And keeps track of all their steps. Yeah, I've always been curious

I've always been curious about doing that just to see how much because I I walk so much and I'm on my feet so much

I'd be a little curious about that. I had a fit bit for a little while

Um, I didn't find it to be a great motivator

Hmm, hmm, but you don't you you have like step their step apps you can get on your phone

Yes. Oh, yeah, there is yeah, you're right. Yeah, there's an app for everything. There's an app for everything

I mean how accurate they are is maybe you know, maybe a little more difficult questionable

I'll be a little different idea. Yeah, yeah

Uh, you know, uh, well, well, you're standing walking or not how much time you're you're in that you're spending in the car

Did you know that the average American drives 14,263 miles a year?

Are you over or under that mark?

Here's some data from the federal highway administration that ranked in states by average miles driven

It's no surprise that the states that drove the most are more rural the top five average miles while yelming

24 over 24,000 miles a year

Mississippi 19 new mexico 19 Missouri, Georgia also high up there

Um, and the states where people drive the least

Rhode Island, New York, Washington, Alaska, and Pennsylvania

Hmm

And here are three more fun stats there. I actually let's let's tackle those first list

Let's tackle the long and the short of that kind of funny that Alaska's in there except that I'm sure

All of the civilization in Alaska is real together

We for a long time had a listener out in Alaska that would call up and join us uh joining Carl and I ever once in a while

I'd love to hear from you again, sir

If you're out there still listen and reach out to us whether it's email or or any way you got to get a hold of us

I'd love to know what you think of this and uh, how you know what's life like in Alaska now nowadays

Uh, I haven't talked to him since the pandemic before the pandemic, so that'd be great to hear from

But yeah, I agree with you the New York thing throws people off

I think unless you know that most New Yorkers don't drive

Well, right. I mean there's there's public transportation um subways you can obviously walk a lot of places

There's other options than driving your own car. Yeah, I'm telling you we are getting closer and closer to even towns like ours needing a bus line

Um, it's just becoming more and more to the point where not in that and not everybody can drive and not everybody can afford a vehicle or a Ford gas or it is

It's so expensive to have a car. Yeah, yeah you

Estonishes me how many of us have uh, you know our own car and

You know, how much do we actually drive it? Yeah

Yeah, it's a great point. Yeah

So here are some other three fun staff fun facts

8.7 million miles of roadway in the U.S. There are 8.7 million miles

That's a lot of roads

Men drive and on an average of 6,000 more miles per year than women and Americans drive 3.2 trillion miles a year

Whoa trillion

Whoa, that's 5000. That's a tea. That's a big number. That's 5000 round trips to the moon

Whoa

5000

It's incredible. We's is a much more like

A number we can actually wrap our brains around. Yeah, Trillion is so big. Yeah

When it comes to trillions of zillions and those things I just go blank my brain just goes blank like I

Pretend number. It kind of is yet, but

Yeah

We drive so much we we are in our vehicles so much we have so much of these things going on it

It boggles the mind to see people fight against the need for good infrastructure

Yeah, good infrastructure and public transportation

We we've had we've seen our whole lives

And a lot in the last 10 years of bridges falling of roads falling apart of so many of these things

But yet when any politician goes out and says hey, we need better infrastructure

We might have to raise taxes to do it something like that people lose their damn minds

Um, this is the way the world works. If you don't like it there's there's other options

I guess go be a hermit or something in the woods. I don't know

Um, but otherwise if you are going to be better on those woods, he'd better be better because you're gonna be

You're gonna be your neighbors might be a little bit different than the neighbors you deal with in your your own community

You know, but yes, CC Melissa with the bear conversation earlier

Yes, I don't know. I find that quite silly considering how much we use our roads and our buildings and everything

We would think that infrastructure infrastructure should be sexy. It should be something that oh

A politician that cares about my roads. Oh great architecture is sexy. I did not that a strategy

That definitely is like I also architecture. Why are that's what our tax dollars should be going to pay for

That's what I want my tax dollars to pay for that in public education

And all the things necessary to make our society function. Yeah, I want um, I want our

Our single parents out there to be able to work and and help our taxes and everything

You know, I don't know if it's what common knowledge or not, but there is enough data out there

You can go ahead and throw it at any search engine

That the cities and states that are taking care of child care their taxes are lower

They're lower and that they're adding to child care that are helping with child care

That are investing in education that the outcome for those children is they're far more productive in society

We will take a time out. We'll check in with our partners

We'll come back and have some more fun on the morning show here at WFHR where we are locally grown radio
