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, get your host James J.
behind the mic. I am joined by our head up production, Mr. Seth Habagger. Good morning,
all. And we are joined by the best listeners in radio. Thanks so much for being with us,
everybody. We appreciate the company. So it's a little bit nicer to do it that way than,
you know, by ourselves. It's a little bit more fun. Hello, anyone out there? Yeah, we've
tried that. Didn't work. We are going to kick things off with our good friend, Brittany Marlowe,
talking a little bit of Mother Nature. Good morning, Britt. Good morning. How are you guys?
We're doing good. How are you doing? Good. Good. I have beautiful, sunny skies, but I think it's
cloudy by you. Yeah, it is. A little rain on the way in too. Yeah, we had a bit of it coming in,
and it's gone now, but yes, it is incredibly cloudy out there today. Clouds on top of clouds.
Yes, it is. Yes. What else do we have in store? Yeah, so we have that low pressure system still
flinging into the Ohio Valley. So this is why the further south you are in the state, the more
clouds, the more rain chances, all of that. Now with us being in the central parts of the state,
we could see a few sprinkles earning off here earlier this today. But I have learned shower.
Those chances clear out. And in fact, some of the clouds are going to start to clear out tonight too.
So more and more sunshine expected the later arm in the day, or if you just want to come
hang out with me and Laughboth. That would be a nice surprise for you. Sounds good. There you go.
We'll be fine. We'll be something. Yeah, we'll figure it out. Well, yeah. It sounds like a plan.
We'll talk to you around noon, something like that. We'll get some stuff to do around here,
but we'll see you in a bit, Britney. Pretty freaking out like the whole after doing like,
is he going to show up? I'll be waiting. You're the best. We appreciate you, Britney. Have a great
morning. You too. Bye-bye. Britt will join us tomorrow. Get you ready for the weekend.
Looking forward to it. Appreciate the time for her. We got good stuff lined up for you, everybody.
Seth and I will get into El Café birthday anniversary club in just a little bit. Looking forward
to that. That'll be a lot of fun, as always. I love celebrating you guys' birthdays and
anniversaries out there. We're also going to get into a couple of other things. The world's
most stressful tourist trap. That one, that's been an interesting one. The opposite, right?
Do we want for vacation? Yeah, yeah. Anyway, I think. Four bad morning habits and four good ones.
Okay. Got those lined up for you as well. And what age do we start feeling aches and pains?
That one, that one I want audience participation in. I want to hear from all y'all about that one.
Do you remember? That's the question. For me, it was just appeared all of a sudden. I
don't even remember when it happened. Wait, where did this come from? All that coming up for you.
We'll kick off the nine o'clock hour talking about our pet of the week with the South of
County Maine Society. Seth and I will be covering that one. Tim is not able to be with us,
but he did send us his pet of the week. Nice. We'll get to that. Some other notes. Tim had
for us. We got some entertainment news we want to touch on. We're going to finally be able to
address this. The beef Drake Kendrick. I want to get into it a little bit. We'll talk about
that. There is an office spin off going on that we want to touch on. Okay. And an interesting thing
a bunch of Swifties did. And I think it speaks on some larger things. Seth and I want to get into
a little bit. Sounds interesting. All that coming up for you. Along with some of that eight
right stories, good stories of the day in plenty more to get to. Seth and I are going to touch on our
weekend lineup a little bit as well. Get into some of that programming. But I wanted to start right
here a place where we used to go all the time our National Day of Calendar. Oh cool. There is
some fun stuff going on for the National Day of today. And one of them happens to be. Well,
one of them is mental health awareness for children for kids. Oh, okay. And I think that's an
important one. Encourage more and more people to be comfortable with talking about those things.
And the way you get comfortable talking about those things is talking about those things.
Yeah, it's repetition. Yeah. The more we do it, the better we feel about that. Exactly.
Everybody's got something. And we we got to get over this whole, you know, the younger generations
blah, blah, blah. Younger generation blah, blah, blah. Don't get me wrong. There's things that we
could pick on. Of course, generation. Every generation. But the idea that the younger generation,
every time the older generation gets into a certain age and they start picking on the younger
generation that they can't do this or they can't do that or whatever. Right. How things were better
in my day and stuff. First off, number one, we romanticized the past. 100%. Every single one of
us. We do. This isn't even me just an opinion. This is fact. This is science. We wrote
romanticized things from our past. And we don't know what it is like to be young today. That's true.
I don't know what it was like to be young in the 1930s. Nope. And I don't know what it was.
It's like to be young in the 20s. Yep. You know, I mean, there's certain things. Yeah.
So we want to talk to me about the 80s and 90s. Let's talk. Then you know, of course,
you only remember the good stuff. Yeah. And that's what you were talking about before. We always
just remember the fun and good stuff, right? Yeah. I work with and talk to a lot of the younger
generations all the time. And they give me. They inspire me. They give me hope about a lot of those.
I'm more worried about our generation than I am of them. To be truthful. Yeah. Another
part of our national day of today is when I want to take a little time with tearing the tag.
Tear the tags off the mattress day. Oh, jeez. Yes. Tear the tags off the mattress day.
To this, my fellow rebels out there when you would see that tag on a mattress as a kid
and the temptation to pull it off just because it says don't pull it off. I'm done telling it's
like a red flashing light right there. Do it. Do it. Don't push the red button.
Don't push the red button. I want to push the red button. I want to push the red button.
Well, I actually think that there's some interesting history to this to those that may not know.
I would think like 90 some percent of the audience out there, that tag was for me the consumer.
And I was not allowed to tear that tag off. I was I learned something over the last overnight
because I was up all night. I had nothing. I was getting into my zone learning something.
Right. I was mind as well work. Yeah. This is so this is not an event for the timid. So if you crave
excitement and like living on the edge, for go those posted, posted warnings from the government
and rip off those tags. Now I do the pillows too while you're at it. Everything. But keep in mind
that ain't even for you. Removing a tag is illegal in some states. So keep that in mind. The
notification that the removal of mattress tags is published punishable by law is not directed
to consumers, but to mattress manufacturers. If you ever wondered what the purpose of that
mattress tag is, well, it's to let consumers know exactly what's inside the mattress. I eat what
it's made of. They are they are to serve the consumer. And this is because before the early
20th century mattresses are made of a lot of different materials ranging in quality.
A manufacturer may claim that a mattress is made of the finest cotton money can buy,
but could just put whatever you wanted. Yeah. Right. So this tag was put there. So that people,
you know, would know exactly what was in the gun. That's a good thing. When the government
required that manufacturers add tags to a mattress ingredients, there are some who weren't using
high quality materials. And of course, didn't want consumers to know. So they ripped the tags off
before the mattresses hit the retail showrooms. Ah, it's for that reason that a required notice
was added to every tag starting stating that it's punishable by law to remove the tag. Very good.
I'm going to see I did not know that. That's very cool. I'm not any of that. Surprisingly
interesting. Actually, it's it's it also speaks to something we get need to get we also need to get
better about I think. And this includes me. All of this always includes me everywhere. I hope
that comes across. I am never ever going to preach to y'all. I'm never going to talk down to you.
I am one of you and I am like you in this regard. It is so quick and so easy to take shots at our
government. And that is our right as Americans. That is our right as with a stream of speech and
all of these things. It is just as important that when they do things like this that we note them
because they do things like this throughout our holy lifetimes. And how often do you hear
somebody say, Hey, do you hear what the government did? That was really cool. You never hear that.
You never hear that. Yet we and every political season, what do we do? We end up just half the time
we're deciding between the lesser of two evils. These things add up people. You do how many people
want to do a job if nobody, nobody is saying anything nice about that except for their
their fellow colleagues. Right. Exactly. You know, I'm going to take a page out of James
book here and I'm going to do a sports metaphor for this. Okay. It's like the officials in any
sporting event. When they're doing their job right, no one says anything because they're doing
it right. But as soon as they make a mistake, that's when everyone jumps on them. Yep. And it's
the same thing with the government. You know, we got we got all these we have regulations. We have
things and they're there to keep us safe. You know, not all of them are written well and they
don't always work fair. That's true. But when we see something, you know, crazy, I remember
back in the day when when there was this big stink about, you know, the government is measuring
how fast ketchup flows. You know, that wasted money kind of thing. So yeah, sure. Yeah, that's
a little silly. But they all think of all the other things that that that all these things that we
need in order to keep our society functioning. It's true, everyone. Like most things in life,
there is there it's great. It's very great. It's bad. There's plenty of things that we can point
to and say, Oh my God, how did you do this? Or why aren't you doing this? And there's plenty of
things where, man, thank God they did that. I think we're thankful they did this or something. It's
true. You can you can do two things at once. Two things can be true at once. It's one of those
things you have to learn as an adult. Yes. Now, as people in a democracy that vote for, what we
should be doing is trying to correct those mistakes. Let's get people that we think will be the
best to make the right legislation in order to fix these mistakes. That's what we should be doing.
Speaking of sports metaphors and those things, do a hot take at 813 in the morning. I
generally think eventually there aren't going to be any more political parties. I really don't
think there will be. And I think it's because of the people. I think the American people are
getting sick and tired of the divisiveness of the idea of, well, we're not going to, you know,
it's a it's a political year. So we're not going to help you. We're not going to help the
American people. And by you, it should mean the American people. They're talking about Democrats
or Republicans. Right. Exactly. But it should be the American people of the ones that suffer.
Right. It ain't the people in a office. No, they ain't suffering like they're doing fine.
They're doing okay. And that's Democrat and Republican. So eventually, to me, I can't see,
look, we didn't get this start, this country started because we were hesitant or we were afraid
to make changes or do something different. Big bold moves, right? Yeah. We didn't,
you know, the idea of doing things just because we've always done it that way or something like
that. That's not how America started. That's not how this, that's not what our country's built on.
That's right. And we're not built on politicians. We're not built on parties. We are built on
democracy. That's what we are built on and freedom. And these things will never die. I believe
that you can't kill an idea. You can't kill something like that. Okay. It doesn't. That's one
of the beauties of it and everything. And I think whether it is through ranked choice voting,
which I strongly support, or it is just us deciding, you know what? I'm out. I'm done with this.
I am not playing this game anymore. If you are a divisive candidate, if you are out there,
and I have no idea what you stand for, all I know is it's usually like to wine and sound like a
little baby complaining about the person you're running up against and everything. I'm done.
I'm done with that. I don't care who it is. None of us are dealing so much of the masses. Look at
the numbers. Look at the stats. Look at the surveys. Over 70 to 85 percent of Americans are sick
and tired of the divisiveness. I ain't supporting that. Right. And I don't think you should either.
Right. Hey, I got a bold idea. Let's talk. Let's talk bold ideas. Yeah. And I'm saying this
in an industry that actually political advertising is its lifeblood. So I could get trouble for
saying this. We should only have like a month of campaigning for office. Otherwise nothing. Yeah.
You have a certain window that you can do your ads that you can stump around and tell them
people what you want, that kind of thing. And that's it. Like right before the election,
we have a limit of what you can do. Is that the WBA calling? Oh, no. Oh, we got to take that. Okay,
we should probably take that. We'll be right back with the LKFA birthday anniversary
love on the morning show here at WFHR.
Does seem like a good excuse. Yeah, it does. Why? Why did you party so hard?

They're twins. No. And it's a Thursday. I say celebrate all into the weekend. Yeah.
Just start now and never stop. Let's take a look at our celebrity list here and it is thin.
Okay. But hey, speaking of baseball kicks off with Prince Fielder's 40 today. Wow. He's only 40.
Wow. I know he retired early, but man. Yeah. That's crazy.
Former Brewers and Rangers slugger who career ended unfortunately way too early with the neck injury
back in 2016. It doesn't feel like it was that long ago, but I guess he doesn't. Wow.
He and his dad Cecil are the only father son combination to each hit 50 home runs in a season.
They each hit about 319 in their careers and such a short career, Fielder.
And and you know, but I know that towards the end of the day, it got a little dicey and everything
with him, especially when he started going vegan and some of those things. But he was he was so
much fun in this state. Yes. When he was a brewer, he was awesome. Yeah. That was it was fun
having him in state. It was a fun player. There was this great ad they used to have on when he
was playing that he hits a baseball like out of the stadium and it flies around the world to which
he says, guess I got all of that one. It was awesome. I love that. That was good. Yeah.
One of my favorite actresses Rosario Dawson is 45 today. She is in rent. I mean rent.
Just rent. That's all I have to say is rent. Yep. But you know men in black too since city
grindhouse. She is a show. In the Mandalorian in the book of Boba Fett and her own show.
She's so good at that too. She really blew me over. That is one of the greatest fan casting
coups of all time forever. I mean as soon as that it was it was an animated character on the
Clone Wars of Soka. But then when the the rumblings were like, oh really going to make a live action
everyone. And I mean everyone was like, it has to be Rosario Dawson. And it worked. It's so
cool. I love it when that works out. It doesn't happen enough. No, it doesn't happen enough.
Because you're listening to the fans. I mean, that's really cool. If it works, go with it. If
John Krasinski makes a great doc, you know, doc fantastic. Go with it. You know, I love seeing
those things. And yes, you never nobody was ever hurt from listening to fans. No, I'm not saying
you got to do exactly what they say. But listening to fans has never heard anybody. Certainly works
pretty good for us. Yeah, it's true. Andrew WK is 45. Wow. He is partying all the time still.
Especially at his birthday. He made a lot out of that. He sure did. I mean, I think he had like one
other sort of semi hit. But what? One or two songs. And he's still pretty like out there.
He's still doing stuff. Good on him. Dave gone is 62. Yes. Whoa. Dave gone. Depeche mode lead singer,
songwriter. People are people enjoy the silence, policy of truth, personal Jesus. I believe that
the line in, oh, what song is it? I'm taking a ride with my best friend. I think he's talking about
EOR from the Winnie the Pooh. You can't prove me otherwise. I will die on this hill. That's okay.
If you listen to one song of Depeche mode, you get that. Yeah. I feel like the vibe is there. Yeah.
To too many of my friends out there. The cure Depeche mode, that music lead.
Yeah. As much as I was listening to the like public enemy or Nirvana or any of that, I was listening to that music.
Hey, man. We have our guilty pleasures, you know. Yeah. Dave has cheated death many different times.
In fact, four different times he survived a heart attack in 93, failed attempts in 95 in 96 and had a
malignant, a malignant bladder tumor. Oh, a malignant. Yeah. Thank you. In 2009.
Waza. Yeah. Through the ringer. John Corbett is 63. Aiden on sex in the city. Chris,
the disc jockey and northern exposure. He was in my, my big, fat, Greek wedding,
scale and all that. Hidden is the disc jockey and northern exposure. I, I never had any,
any inkling, any dreams of being in radio. I was just one of those kids that had a dual
tape deck and like to act like I was on radio. Right. Right. But I was always drawn to WKRP and Cincinnati
or, you know, like in northern exposure when they had the DJ, certainly when Frazier came around.
I even watched that. I've always just been attracted to those things. I still think WKRP was the
closest we ever got to anybody doing it right though. With, with the, you know, caveat of exaggeration
for comedy effect. But yeah, I think you're right. That was really close to how radio was back
at that time. It, it used to, and I even watched it in a decade or so, but it used to tick me off
on Frazier, like the way that they, they just didn't do it right. You know, and I didn't,
it was a little weird. Yeah. But that wasn't the focus of the show either. No, no, and they,
they didn't spend hardly any time in the studios and everything. You knew some of the characters
from the station. Yeah. Not really, you know, let's see here. Tom Peterson is 74. Happy birthday,
Tom. Cheap trick basis and founder of Rock Your Speech, a project that helps autistic kids learn
to communicate their music. Cheap trick. They're awesome. Yeah. Yeah. They're awesome. There are
us too. The Midwest zone. That's right. Yeah. Um, there are not going to be many bigger names and
you're going to hear this week. Uh, Billy Joel is 75. Wow. Uh, I don't even have to begin to name
the hits. And we would be here all morning. I have to apologize to Billy Joel. I believe I,
and the last set face the music. I said he was a disabled. Sorry, Billy Joel. You're only 75.
75. I'm sorry. I'm not trying to make you too old, man. 75 and still selling out Madison Square
Gardens. He lives there, doesn't he? Yeah, I pretty much. Yes, he moved when they do a basketball
game. But other than that, you know, imagine you're a New Yorker and, and you get the opportunity
to do a recurring gig at Madison Square Garden. That's pretty cool. Yeah. And then one day they,
they don't tell you they're going to do this and they put, uh, in the rafters with the championships
and everything. Billy Joel record and all this. Yeah. I mean, I can't even begin. Ooh,
that poor bird. We just had a bird flying to our window. Oh, no. Sorry, bird. Yeah. We got to
get those things. Uh, if you haven't heard of these, everybody, for your windows, there are these
little crystal things you can put in there. And they don't, they don't bother you. They don't mess
with you at all, but they reflect. So birds know, oh, that's a window. That's a window. Oh,
I had never heard of that before. They're like, they're cheap, too. Okay. Well, let's, well,
let's try that. Billy Joel's career is not only amazing, not only incredible. It's still going.
It is. That's incredible, man. That the amount of energy I'm telling you. And these concerts are not
short. Yeah. They're long. Yeah. Man. Incredible songwriter. Very good songwriter. I, uh,
I would say Alan Towne is my favorite song of his. Uh, I love a good story and I like the way he
says it, uh, sings it and everything. He's got a number of songs that I love. But he has a song,
on one of his latest album, one of his later albums called Lullaby. And it's one of the most
beautiful songs I've ever heard. It makes, I cannot listen to it without thinking of my children
and just getting like, like, it hits you. It hits you. Beautiful song. Great songwriter. Happy
75th piano man. Calvin Murphy is 76, NBA Hall of Famer. Okay. The great, the wonderful Candace
Bergen is 78. Wow. Murphy Brown. Man, she, she, I've had such an interesting career. Yeah.
She had a fascinating career. Man, Murphy Brown, when it was at its height, was like one of the most
popular shows on television. Yeah. Uh, it was in some of those episodes where I must watch TV.
And that being said, it's legendary as that show and her, she was and some of the actors on it.
They had a really good cast on that. Yeah. It was an excellent cast. I don't think there was a
weak link on that show. I loved the, uh, the cameos with her secretary. I love that running
bit. It's one of my favorite running bits in TV history. It was such a great idea. She's so hard
to work with. It's so demanding. They keep changing to secretary almost every episode. So you get
like a Paul Rubens and people like that. Yeah. That, that was a, that was a classic gimmick. I love
that. By the way, she was also the daughter of the great Edgar Bergen. Yeah. The Ventura
Quist Charlie McCarthy. And it should be mentioned one of the early SNL stars. Like, I know she
wasn't a recurring cast member, but she was on a bit and hosting and stuff. And one of the
few people that was brave enough to do it or in the early days. And her sketches with, with Dan
Acroid. Yeah. I got a bag of glass. You see new toy for kids. It's back of glass. You see,
it's a bag. It's got glass in it. There you go, kids. Like those bits that she would do playing
the straight man in those bits. Yeah. Like the interviewer. Yeah. Fantastic. Uh, she was so good.
Got some of my favorite stuff as a little bit. And some of my favorite stuff as a little kid was
brought to me by this man. James L Brooks, 84 years young for one of the three developers of
the Simpsons. That's true. Uh, Mr. Brooks would also like me to mention that he's the co-creator
of the Mary Tyler Moore show and taxi. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. James L Brooks. Pretty dry. He's also
directed a couple of very, very good movies broadcast news. He directed. Uh, I believe, uh,
as good as it gets back in the 90s, he was the director of that one too. So he had, he could
do it all. TV movies. Forget it. He was, he was great. I liked as good as it gets because I really
liked Jack. And I liked his performance and that. But broadcast news is to me. It's still the best
you'll ever see about TV news. Mm hmm. It's still to this day. I think they came out in the mid 80s
or whatever. And it's still wasn't the early 80s. I believe I still haven't seen anything that
touches on TV. Uh, um, there was a TV show that did a nice job of it. I can't think of. Uh,
but Jeff Daniels was. Oh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, newsnight or whatever that was. Yeah. That was
like just recently. So yeah. And that one did something different where they were kind of like
doing stories that happened, uh, already. Mm hmm. And they were kind of giving you almost like a
artistic interpretation of what it was like exactly in the newsroom kind of thing. But broadcast news,
there's still been nothing done better than it and in a fun movie. Good movie. The people no
longer with us, the great, the legend Albert Finney born in this day in 1936. He was a five-time
Oscar nominee. Wow. Uh, Julia Roberts's boss and Aaron Brockovich. Uh, he was uh, in the
born ultimatum skyfall before the devil knows you're dead. Um, you've seen him murder on the
oriental express is one of his greatest roles. Uh, the 70s version 74. Yes. That is an awesome,
you know, I, I really enjoy the Kenneth Bran, I ones are doing now. Yeah. Yeah. But that one
is so good. The cast is amazing on the 70s version. Anytime you see Kenneth Bragg,
his name attached to something you can count on it. I believe that. Uh, one of the five greatest
creatives in the world, not just actors or directors creatives. Yep. Um, uh, at the top 10,
maybe at least. Uh, that was a little much fun. Yeah. But, uh, but Albert Finney, um, his work in
murder on the oriental express, those movies still holds up. Yep. Uh, and big fish. God, I mentioned
big fish, his performance in big fish. I, that's one of those weird movies. It's people
believe they seem to just hate that movie or love that movie. I'm in the love category.
I love a fun movie. I love a fun heartfelt movie. Whimsical movie. Yeah. And, uh,
that you and McGregor's performance in it. Billy Kudraff's performance in it. Albert Finney in it.
I just boom, boom, boom, boom. Just such great performances. There's a, there's a scene where
you and McGregor's talking about the world. Everything standing still when you see the one you love
and everything. And he's pushing popcorn out of it. It's so magically done. That's so well done.
Albert Finney as a narrator is perfect. It's great movie. Albert Finney is one of those actors
who everyone has a different favorite performance because he was so good and he was so versatile.
And in so many darn movies. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He was a lot of movies. So that that worked. Uh,
Mike Wallace born in the state in 1918, passed away in 2012, 60 minutes, legend, uh, so many great
stories, so much great reporting over the years. I have a, uh, sort of Mike Wallace story. I was
when the Duluth superior dukes were a team in, in the 90s and in Duluth. Uh, they, they had the
distinction of having the very first, uh, woman picture in professional baseball, Isla Borders.
My dad and I got to go to a game that she pitched. And it happened to be the game that 60
minutes was doing a story on her. Wow. And so we're sitting there at the pat. I mean, the stadium
is packed. She's pitch. It was really, it was really cool to see it. She got shelled. But other
than that. Um, so we're sitting there and I look over sitting, you know, standing on the,
the entrance where you go up to the field and leaning up against this Mike Wallace. Wow.
Watching the game. Wow. And people were coming up and asking him to sign baseball. I thought
that was kind of weird. It's like, it's a baseball player. It's a, have a son like a program or
something. Not a baseball. Mike Wallace. I mean, where's a microphone? I got a microphone for Mike
Wallace to sign. That's pretty cool. But that's, yeah, that's my white wall story. Yeah. I always
thought he was a great reporter, great reporter. And one final one for you, Jay M. Bari,
uh, one of the state, 1860 Pestway in 1937 is the man who wrote Peter Pan. Yep.
It's full credit for anyone named Wendy as well. Really? Yep. Before he called one of his
Peter Pan characters, Wendy, no one was giving their daughter their name. Look at history. Look
at the timeline. There's no Wendy's. And then after Peter Pan, bunch of Wendy's including
whole restaurant. I was going to say they make great chili. So yeah, that's awesome.
Yeah, quite like there's a Shakespeare's got one or two of these two where there's,
there's one thing to like, hey, I created Peter Pan. That's a pretty good legacy. But I don't know,
there's something about like a name you created a name that became more or less popular like that's.
I had something right. That is cool. We encourage you to celebrate with our friends over at L.
Cafe. They're open right now to 21 market avenue. Beautiful poor Edwards.
Get on over there. Wish them a great day from all of us here at WFHR.
Welcome back everybody. Morning show here at WFHR. Locally grown radio.
Seth and James, welcoming him in. Welcome into our house.
I don't know. Still holds up to me. It's a fun song. I think it's still a good song.
It's a good wake up song. Still think it's a good song. It's a fun song.
We are going to get into some other good habits right now.
Studies have found waking up to the radio is a really good thing.
All right. Yeah. And then we got some bad things.
If you woke up on the wrong side of bed this morning, you might just have one more of these
bad morning habits. Here are four ways you shouldn't start your day according to experts.
And then we have four good morning habits for you.
Okay. Now here, I'll let you guys all in on a little life hack.
Okay. And we got to keep this between ourselves, though.
All right. Because I don't want everybody doing this.
That's okay. All right. You want to avoid waking up on the wrong side of the bed.
Don't go to sleep. I've been doing it for years.
Yeah. I can't figure this was going off.
And I don't wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Don't have to worry about it.
Um, uh, the views of Mr. Malaaf are not
just, believe me, believe me, believe me, the whole disclaimer on that one.
We probably should have one. We're not supported by civic media now.
Get that on the hotkeys over here on disclaimer.
Did the jabuse of James made all of you?
Actually, would just do James Malaaf in case my father ever joins us.
It's like, I guarantee you, if my father's ever on the air, he's something's going to have
something on that. I'm the tape version of him.
I'm the poor man's version of my dad.
So here are four ways you shouldn't start your day according to experts.
Don't wake up to an alarm.
It causes immediate anxiety.
So try something more soothing.
Studies have found waking up to the radio is much better.
Yes. Radio for the wind.
Oh, yeah.
Nice.
In an all honesty, yes, it sounds very biased coming from us.
But we're not telling you you have to turn on us.
You know, that's true.
Radio is radio.
And if you're turning it on, it is a much easier way to start your day.
This is something that I'm trying to incorporate.
Okay.
Because I've always been an alarm guy and I'm the person that usually wakes up before my alarm.
But even then, it's still, it's still a rough way.
Well, you know, it's coming too.
That's the other thing.
So you get all anxious about it ringing, you know, that kind of thing.
If you're writing a story, how would you start the day?
You know, I mean, it's your story, write it.
Yeah.
Don't immediately try to problem solve.
Oh, this is a bad one for me.
The droggy feeling is called sleep inertia.
And typically last about 15 minutes to an hour.
So let yourself ease into your day before you start trying to solve anything.
There's the joke.
Don't talk to me before I've had my coffee.
Right.
But that really is kind of, that does come from some true intent of,
yeah, don't talk to yourself.
Right.
Get yourself going.
Let yourself wake up.
Your, your body has just been in like an inert state for like several hours.
Give it, give yourself a chance.
You will have 23 hours left in the day to get to that stuff.
You will have plenty of time.
Don't dive straight into emails.
Research, reaching for your phone to read news is one thing.
But you shouldn't be checking your inbox as soon as you wake up.
Again, it immediately causes stress and you're not ready to just problem solve yet.
Your brain is not woken up.
Don't focus on what went wrong yesterday.
Try your best to start, start fresh.
Yeah.
It's okay to look back and reflect at some point, just not the first thing.
Because that's, that's like a great way to start off the day on the wrong foot.
I mean, it really is just thinking about all the bad stuff.
It's not really given yourself that the greatest first step.
Yeah, exactly.
Now here are some for good ones.
Okay.
I don't know.
I want to hear from the audience what you guys think of those four ways you
shouldn't start your day.
Four, two, four, twenty, six hundred.
Because I'll make good sense to me.
Yeah.
Yeah, I really like the alarm one.
I like that.
I really, I got to try this stuff.
And look at what we got now with phones.
A lot of people use their phones as alarms.
You can set it to any radio station you want.
Yeah.
And it'll go off when that.
So yeah, I mean, you should be listening to WIV HR.
But, you know, I mean, I don't know why you would listen to any other radio.
Right.
I mean, it seems very counterproductive.
But if you want to, I suppose there's a lot of other stations.
I like this if it be the Apple show you.
That's right.
I didn't want to look at something really quick.
And yeah, okay.
So our, our app has a lot of cool features to it.
But one of them is the open sleep timer.
Yes.
Which works pretty well for this or, or if you're looking for that,
you go to sleep to music or radio or something.
But you don't, I don't turn off.
Yeah.
There's a, that's pretty cool.
That's good.
Turn that out, everybody.
And here are four good habits to, you might want to start incorporating into your morning.
Like listening to WIV HR.
Focus on what you want to achieve and make a list.
It's a good way to organize your day and your thoughts.
Start with some deep breathing.
Meditation is great.
But even just stopping to take a few breaths can calm your mind
and set you up for a good day.
Yes.
We shout out Jackie Carantini.
This is something she popularized at the station here with us where,
you know, three second, three second rule.
I, I do a four second rule because it's easier for me to remember.
But, you know, got anxiety, got stress,
beginning of the day, middle of the day, whenever.
Breathe in for three seconds.
Breathe out for three.
It's amazing.
How simple is that can help.
It won't take all your problems away.
But it'll give you a chance just to stop for a minute.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I wouldn't have believed it until I actually started to do it.
Yeah, pretty remarkable.
It really does help.
Look at something that makes you smile.
Think about hanging something in your bedroom that sparks joy.
Like a picture from a fund vacation or just a piece of art you really love.
Visual reminders like that can put you in a good mood.
Oh, cool.
It's not something that you have to read.
You have to dissect.
You look and boom, immediately good feeling.
There's a painting that I have.
Homestickness from John McGott.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and just there's something about it.
It's just this guy looking out over a bridge with a lion right next to him.
I don't know what it is about the painting.
But it eases me.
That's kind of cool.
It makes me feel very in tune.
I don't know why.
That's great though.
It has for a long time.
And it's one of the first things I see.
I got my kids pictures of them right there.
Oh, pictures of kids, especially in their little.
Oh, that's awesome.
I defy you not to smile looking at your kids first thing.
Yes, I mean, it's hard not to.
Especially not the ages they are now.
Yeah.
And get moving.
It doesn't have to be a full workout.
Just some light stretching can help.
You get started on the day on the right foot and it feels good.
Yeah, it does.
Stretching is a good, you don't think of stretching as a workout.
It kind of is and certainly can be for many.
Move your muscles.
Yeah, get your muscles ready to go.
Yeah, and chances are in the day,
you're probably going to be moving those muscles.
You probably are.
You're going to be really thankful by the end of the day.
You did that stretching at the beginning of the day.
As we get to the next topic of aches and pains.
I mean, yes, and that is coming right up on the morning show here at WFHR.
Welcome back to the morning show, everybody.
Locally grown radio.
God, I used to play in the sock.
Just probably why I put it in play.
Oh, yeah, definitely, definitely.
And we are in the heat of the moment right now.
Seth and James here with you.
And we left the last segment talking a little bit about stretching
and yeah, how good it can be.
First thing in the morning.
So I was fortunate to grow up with an athlete for a father
and working out was always really big to him.
And stretching was always an important thing.
I wanted to work out, get right to it.
No, we got to spend five, ten minutes stretching first.
And one of the things I'd work on the punching bag for a little while
and then we get to it.
And as I've gotten older and have less and less time,
I still make the time to do some stretching, not nearly as much as I should.
But I have to.
I feel it throughout the day if I don't.
These are things that we learn as we get older.
We just kind of adapt to our bodies and everything.
But if you're 36 right now,
you might want to hang on tight because you're in for a while, right?
A new poll found the average person starts feeling aches and pains at age 37.
That's when your back starts barking and your knees start to buckle,
according to science.
715-424-2600.
If you're here to call up and join the conversation,
hold where you when you first started noticing.
When you remember start that, like I said before,
I don't remember, but all of a sudden they were just there.
It's like, wait a minute, when did this happen, man?
I just remember one morning, and I don't know how old I was,
but I remember one morning bending down to put my shoes on.
And that was the last time I bent down to put my shoes on.
I sat down to put them on every day ever since.
It's nice of your body to let you know.
You know, it's like, I'm done.
It was not doing this no more.
My back tapped me on the shoulder.
It was like, hey, hey, I'm about to do some work back here.
You're not going to like.
So you might want to stop doing it that way.
Or I'm going to get up and leave.
I'm just going to leave.
Yeah, I'm just going to be out of here.
I need a backyard.
I would gather, I wouldn't be surprised if anybody said the teenage years.
They started feeling pains and stuff.
I know a one good example of when did you start making the grunting sound sitting,
standing up off a chair?
That's a good one.
That's another one because I think it ties in with this, I think.
Now I find myself trying not to make noises when I stand up now.
No, drag not to go with it, man.
I've got to just go with it, I should.
Let's find out what's on your mind.
Good morning.
What's up?
Hi, Clarke.
He's just calling in on the floor.
Yeah, actually, you know, it wasn't too bad.
It's probably when I hit 40 is when I started really feeling a
pace more.
I mean, what's the job that I do climbing it out of the truck all the time?
I mean, I mean, as long as I've been doing it,
it happened more frequently.
And I think of maybe when I did hit 30, it kind of was a little bit more like that.
Well, or when I hit 50, everything went downhill from there.
It's just like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Where this comes from?
What?
Wait a minute.
You know, it's like going to the doctor every other day because,
you know, it's like, come on.
Yeah, it's not right.
It's not right.
My, my, my Papa Joe semi for 40 plus years.
And he would talk about some of that about getting into
that of the truck, you know, loading the truck, some of that stuff.
And for him, a lot of it was that being that position for so long and the driving.
I don't know how the new rigs are or anything, but I know for him, the old ones,
you had to, you had to be in good shape.
You had to be at least in somewhat decent shape because the work that it took to push those,
the gears down all that stuff.
The clutch, yeah, all that stuff, yeah.
To the, to his dying day, my Papa rock hard calves.
Oh, that was strong calves.
Was in rough shape, but raw strong calves and good calves.
There's, there's pluses of minuses with that job,
edgy job, I imagine, but the aches and pains,
it's interesting.
You say that age range, man, because I would say that's similar for me.
Probably close to me to, yeah.
Now, I think I went through my 30s,
not really caring as much about my body or any of those things.
I didn't work out nearly as much or anything.
Just let life take over.
It was hitting 40 and starting to feel some of this stuff that maybe like,
oh, I'm going to start caring about that a little bit more.
I should probably do that.
Maybe it won't hurt so much.
Put that on the, on the to-do list.
Care about your body.
You climb out of bed in the morning and it's like,
where does that thing come from?
Yeah, that's new, right?
There's certain things about getting older
that you just couldn't explain to a young person.
It's waiting up and you see on your arm, there's a bruise.
And like, where did I get that?
Where did that bruise come from?
How did I bruise myself?
And I didn't even know how did that happen?
That kind of stuff happens too much.
Wait too much.
Yeah, great.
And my boy's giving me a hard time,
bought it all the time.
They're like, oh, dad, you're getting so old.
You can't even get off the couch while grunting or get out of your chair.
Or get out of the car, you know, it's like, you know,
wait until you get to my age.
I was going to say, just wait.
Yeah.
You'll get there.
You'll find out all about it.
May have your fun.
Yeah.
Have your fun now.
We have some exciting stuff coming up in the start
the 9 o'clock hour, everybody.
Anna Kendrick is going to be, Anna is going to,
Anna makes music is going to be with us.
She's going to be performing the live.
That's right.
Oh, yeah.
They've got a great show coming up on Mother's Day
that we're excited about.
She's going to be with us in a moment.
And I'm actually going to let Seth go,
so he can open the door because I didn't open the door.
I didn't do that.
Cap, thanks so much for calling.
Always appreciate talking with you, man.
Have a great morning.
You guys have a great day.
You too.
You too.
Let's hear from you.
715-424-2600.
Let us know.
Well, when did you start feeling some of those aches
and pains and everything?
Because there's some other stats here
that are kind of interesting.
All those aches and pains are slowing us down too.
When we wake up sore,
it takes us an average of seven extra minutes
to get ready in the morning.
So another good reason to kind of take it easy
to ease into the day while also getting
some stretching in when you can.
And 28% of Americans said that they deal with
some sort of chronic pain on a daily basis.
Less than a third said that they've been
totally pain free for the last past month.
And 22% of us would give up social media
to feel fewer aches and pains.
18% would give up cheese.
25% would give up coffee.
Now, that's too far.
All right, wait a minute.
The cheese thing, I get it.
But people giving up coffee,
just to avoid aches and pains.
I don't know.
Like it's not worth it.
I don't think so.
I don't think it is.
I think I take the aches and pains.
I don't crazy that sounds what I think I would.
Yeah, yeah.
I, yeah.
So for you, is there a certain pain
that you feel Seth
because some of the stats here are saying
it's all focusing on the back.
Oh, really?
Oh, okay.
Back in knees, I should say.
Well, knees, yeah.
I'm, I can, I can, I can, I can relate with the knees.
Yes, for sure.
100%.
Definitely.
So everybody, we got something really fun and exciting
coming up at 9.30 today.
We're going to kick off the 9 o'clock hour.
We're there.
Pitted a week himself.
What kind of you mean?
It's exciting.
Got a little bit of entertainment news.
We'll touch on.
And then at 9.30,
Anne is going to be with us.
And she's joined us a couple of times
on a morning show here.
She's been on directures with us.
Incredibly talented.
A musician.
She and her partner got a great show coming up
on Mother's Day.
We want to celebrate that.
Let you know about it.
We're going to talk with her at 9.30.
It's going to be a lot of fun.
Yeah, looking forward to it.
Thanks for opening the door.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I can't wait to get in here.
So rude.
I feel sorry.
My mother is screaming in the back.
By Jimmy.
Jimmy.
You know, when you're in trouble,
when your parent says your name,
and it sounds like a swear word.
Yeah, Jimmy.
I don't think you could say that, mom.
That's filthy.
Ah, this is a good one.
Someone created a huge radio flyer wagon
that you could actually drive.
Oh gosh.
And by huge, I mean, it's like the size of an SUV.
The wagon is fully road legal and has a top speed of 60.
A man named Fred Keller built this unique vehicle
using the chassis of a 1976 Mazda pickup truck 14 years ago.
Unfortunately, he's no longer with us,
but his wife has decided to sell it.
It's been auctioned, it's being auctioned online
as part of a Mother's Day classic car auction.
And bidding is open through Sunday.
Last we checked and I checked it just this morning.
7,600 people are, that's the last bit on this.
Whoa.
It comes with an enclosed trailer for travel
and an eight-foot handle.
It's easily removable for transport.
The purchase includes full documentation of the build
in the original VIN plate and manual for the truck.
I'm just going to show Seth a little look for a look of this
and you can find it online if you'd like everybody
to put a visual to it.
It looks authentic.
It's a pretty cool.
Yeah, it's a pretty cool looking thing.
I never had a radio flyer growing up.
I did, I actually did have one.
My sister and brother did.
I didn't have one.
I feel like this is a way of like making good on that.
Yeah, right.
Getting one of these now.
That seems pretty cool.
Right, right, do it.
Would you, I don't think any of us,
well, we work in radio.
We can't afford this.
We want to.
We want to, yeah.
If we teamed up, I don't think we can afford it.
But if somebody was like, hey, you want this?
Hey, do you want to take this?
I'll take care of this insurance.
Okay.
Or an avid.
Would you take it?
Because it's fun.
But it has a shelf life, it feels like.
Yeah, yeah.
It feels like it's cool for a little while.
And they're like five, six years later.
Like, wow, we still got that radio.
Yeah, what are we going to do it?
It's not really, he's never moved that thing.
No, no, no, no.
It's something like a great idea and paper.
You know, I don't think I'd want to,
want to be stuck with it, though.
I, um, I would say if you move a lot,
yeah, I think it'd be pretty cool.
You know, you got, oh, we got the new neighbors moving in
and they move in the big old radio flyer.
Yeah, right.
These people seem pretty cool.
Yeah, wow.
And then when are they going to move that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Monstrosity out of third yard.
Five or six months later, it's like,
well, we're done with it.
I, you're charging like a quarter of the kids sit on it,
just trying to make your money back.
You know, that would know that.
I could see that when there you go.
Get your picture with the giant wagon.
We got some great stuff coming up in the nine o'clock hour.
Everybody were really excited about.
Stick around good things on the way for you.
Also, our pet of the week, don't forget about that.
Our friends at the South of County main society
send us a pet of the week or are here with us in studio.
Every Thursday at the nine o'clock hour for that.
We want to send a big, big shout out to Johnson,
Chrysler Dodge and Jeep dealership sponsor in the hour.
We appreciate them putting back into their community,
support local, support those that support us
and support the community.
That's right.
We'll take a break.
We'll come back more fun on the morning show here at WFHR,
locally grown radio.
