Uncle Snoop <3 (Hour 1)

Thanks for kicking it off with us right here at WFHR, locally grown radio, 804 on the

clock.

Got your host James J. I am joined by Beth Habecker today.

Good morning.

Good to have you with us, Beth.

Good to be here.

We got the best listeners and radio joining us as well.

We're excited to have a great show today.

We got good things on the way.

The O.K.A. birthday anniversary club is right around the corner.

We'll get into that.

Also, we've got some, we got to talk Olympics.

We got some other viral moments to win about.

We're going to catch you up on what you might have missed overnight in a couple of breaking

stories this morning as well.

And Gorilla Sofas.

Gorilla Sofas.

I don't know what this is.

I didn't look into it.

I wanted to be surprised if you were too.

It seems like you are.

Yeah.

This is a big thing on TikTok.

We're going to talk a little bit about that.

Oh, hey.

Got that coming up for you.

It's the most outdoor friendly U.S. cities and the least outdoor friendly.

Okay.

Get into that one too.

Of course, 9 o'clock hour.

We've got some entertainment news for you.

We'll talk a little rafters.

I want to talk about Dollywood.

That just had a flooding incident.

Oh.

It's a big show biz auction as well.

I want to touch on.

We'll let you know what Olympic coverage will be going on tonight.

And a little later in the 9 o'clock hour, the top mental load tasks, moms, handles and

dads ignore.

I plan out a lot of our shows, a lot of our segments, sometimes weeks in advance and

everything.

This story just popped up this morning, so that would just pop right up.

I had a chance to look at it.

I did want to thank you for being here.

I did want to let you know how much we appreciate.

When you do pitch it for us and everything, thank you so much for doing that.

For our new audience members and might not know or haven't heard Beth on with us before.

Beth is the Reverend over at the Moravian Church.

And we always appreciate the time for you, Beth, and wanted to start things off right there

if you don't mind.

You guys have a number of things coming up.

Oh, we do.

We have our book, book an out to collect books for our book sale that we have every October.

The book sale this year is going to be October 10th, 11th and 12th.

That's a Thursday through Saturday.

But we do collect books from the community.

So if you are cleaning your house, if you're getting ready to do a garage or a rummage

sale, that kind of thing, and you have books and you're going, I don't know what to do

with them, bring them down to the Moravian Church.

It's 310, 1st Avenue South.

Our parking lot is off of 3rd Avenue, and there's a bin there.

So you can put books in there any time if the office happens to be open, which we are Monday

through Fridays from 9am to 1pm.

You can bring them into the building and we will take them and then we sort them out and

then we will sell them back to the community.

And all of the proceeds that we make from this sale go to a scholarship for non-traditional

students at Midstate.

So we're excited about that coming up.

We've got a couple of other activities coming up that we haven't advertised yet.

So this is breaking news, I guess, for here.

Yeah, we love breaking news.

Real breaking news.

We're going to start to get some posters out into the community, but we are going to

be having a rummage sale ourselves at the church on August 17th.

Now that is a Saturday.

It's the same day that you have your farmer's market.

And we are right by the farmer's market.

So while you're at the farmer's market, come down that extra little block and see us by

the big cross tower there on 1st Avenue.

And then when you're done looking through things, you can go around to the back of the

building because we're also going to be having a broth fry that day.

So come get your lunch from the Moravian church on August 17th.

It's a great idea.

I want to go back to the book sale.

How much this helps and impacts the community.

You know, there's the simpleness of, well, I have a book.

I'm done with it.

Nobody else wants it in my house.

I want to take care of it.

I don't want to just throw it away or something.

You know, you donate it to the books, a company.

But then there's the, which I think just all lovers of books and readers can enjoy that.

I think there's something so cool and almost repurposing about it.

But there's so much more behind this and what this does and the impact it makes on the

community.

It's something that I know is not only important to you personally, but to the Moravian church.

We are facilitating the community, helping the community is what we're really trying to

do here.

Last year, we were able to raise over $3,000 and so this fall, there will be $3,000 scholarships

given to students at mid-state.

That's awesome.

That's so cool.

That's so cool.

And we can't imagine necessarily what that might mean to that individual.

Right.

It's just an impact and it also is an investment in our future, which we always like to highlight

around here and appreciate.

It's good work, Beth.

It's good work.

Well, we do our best.

We're able to continue to facilitate and offer this to the community.

You can find out more at www.muravian.org and I'd love to remind you all as well that Beth

does a service every Sunday and they put it on YouTube.

You can find it and check it out from your own house at just typing into your search

bar on YouTube.

It was constant wrap as a Moravian church.

Subscribe to their page.

Keep up to date and the cool things they're doing over there.

Yes.

I do an amazing job with those and I know how much my dad enjoys them.

My mom has watched them before.

Oh, wow.

I love you over there.

That always works.

That helps.

All are welcome.

Will we say that?

We mean that.

That's what I did.

I teed you up perfectly.

I think there.

Because I did want to remind everybody of that too.

I know that that's something that I hold dearly and I appreciate that you guys do over

there.

As somebody who is not necessarily religious or a church-goer, I have such a...

I think there is this bias towards people like myself that we think that we don't have

a love of religion or religious people or anything like that and it couldn't be farther

from the truth.

Not just for me, but a lot of people I know that are in my elk, if you will.

There is a...

Almost a...

I don't want to say a longing, but there is a bit of a, you know, a kind of a look and

I don't know.

I think that everybody hits things differently in life and it's nice to know wherever you

are, wherever your heart is in those things that there are organizations like the Moravian

Church that are open to all.

I don't think we have enough of that in life anymore and we need more and we're fortunate

that we have that in this area.

Glad to be here.

www.muravian.org.

Beth, you also got to...

We didn't get to...

I haven't gotten to see you since your birthday.

Happy birthday.

They belated birthday.

They've been happy birthday.

And I don't know necessarily what you guys did for your big B day or anything.

I had a party over there and stuff.

Yes, the Saturday before my husband threw me a party.

That morning is when I fell down the stairs and everything.

That was my luck.

I did.

I was planning on being there.

But I know that this would be something that also would be pretty fun to have happen

on your birthday or something in a stroke of luck that almost slipped away.

A couple from South Carolina is now searching for their dream home thanks to a $200,000

win from the South Carolina Education Lottery.

The couple who wish to remain anonymous purchased a $5 lottery ticket at Circle K on

Main Street in Spartasburg, South Carolina.

Upon scratching the ticket, the wife initially believed it was a non-winning tip-1 and discarded

it.

Little did she know that moment nearly cost them a life-changing prize.

Wow.

Her husband spotted the discarded ticket in the trash and realized there might have been

a mistake.

He called out to his wife, pointed out a critical detail.

You have a 12-on-it discreened it, which we have no context in normal life, but this

time it meant something.

She retrieved the ticket, scratched it further, and uncovered the $200,000 jackpot.

The odds of winning such a prize in the double-sided-dollar extra-play game are slim 1,500,000.

There's also only one more top prize remaining, and they almost didn't have it.

Oh my goodness.

I don't know much at all about lottery tickets or lottery tickets already of these things,

but it does seem like one of those things you don't just want to glance at.

We really want to take time.

We want to make darn sure that every number and everything is set.

Especially if you've got, because some of these don't you, if you've got three out of

four, you win some in and everything, so I would think you're really intensely looking

at that.

Right.

I don't know, but I'm happy for them, happy for them that they found that.

I wonder in that moment, if you have this kind of like, she's looking at the ticket.

The first time she's looking at the ticket, and she's excited and hopeful, and maybe

she, they just won.

And then there's the disappointment that she didn't enthrone away, and you kind of let

go of that feeling after a moment or two easy come-easy go, who knows?

But then with the realization that you did win, oh my goodness.

I wonder if that's almost better, like winning that way, it's almost if you won twice in

some ways, it just feels like it would be even more impactful.

Yeah.

I don't know.

I think you just happy to win.

Well, there's that, but yeah, when you're disappointed, and you think nothing's going to happen,

and then all of a sudden, it actually does happen.

There is just that burst of hope and excitement, and yeah, good for them.

I don't know if I've had a lot of experiences like that, but I will say at the recent WBA awards

and everything, there were twice where it was

Melissa and Seth, when they won, that I went into it, and I was so certain they were going

to win.

And then they did.

And it was almost kind of like, well, I didn't think I was right.

It was almost, I bet money on it.

I was so certain, but then at the same, once it did actually happen, and I see them going

up there and everything, it was just kind of like, oh, wow, it really hit twice over

almost.

It doesn't feel like it's actual reality.

Yeah, yeah.

And I even won a lot of things in life, so I don't know much of this experience or feeling.

But I'll say that it does seem like it's one of those things where you almost get kind

of a double win there.

And it seems kind of cool.

That's a fun story.

We got more fun stories in store for you coming up throughout the day.

We'll also get into the LKFA birthday and anniversary club right around the corner here

at WFHR, locally grown radio.

It's time for the LKFA birthday.

Day and anniversary club.

One of our favorite parts of the day.

We get to talk about all of you, and we get to talk about our friends over at LKFA.

Treat yourself.

Get on over there.

There are 221 market avenue and beautiful board Edwards.

Wish them a great day from all of us here at WFHR, and they are celebrating International

Friendship Day.

They're open till two.

Laurie, Katie and Fidel are working hard for you in the dining room while Ezekiel and

the team are cooking up something special for you in the kitchen.

They're wishing everyone a wonderful week.

You wish them one in person.

Stop by and buy over there and wish them a great day from all of us and enjoy yourself

You will not be disappointed.

No, no.

I could not agree with you more.

So good.

It's such a unique menu.

And all of that is fantastic.

The prices are great.

The atmosphere is good.

Those people, man.

They got great people over there.

Head on over there.

Wishing them a good one from all of us and find out more at their Facebook page.

Just type in your search bar, LKFA, like their page.

That's also how you can get us birthdays and anniversaries through our Facebook pages.

You can go ahead and hit us up at WFHR or WIR's Facebook page and send us your birthdays

and anniversaries.

We'd love to have them.

You can of course direct message us through email, james.mailfetsivicmedia.us, is it

easy way to get a hold of us?

And of course, you can call up.

Yes, 424, 2600.

I didn't want to put you on the spot, but I thought it would be the opportunity to nail

it.

You nailed it.

Nicely done.

I got it.

Does that mean I made the audition to get cast?

Yes.

You made the audition years ago to get cast.

I should have told you, actually, I probably should have told you that a long time ago.

I'm so sorry about that.

We appreciate all of you getting those birthdays and anniversaries to us.

And please feel free to call up and join the conversation we'd love to hear from you.

We have four possible qualifiers today, Beth.

Wow.

Give me a one through four.

Well, since my husband took three yesterday, I'll take four today.

Well, there we go.

That works.

That is good.

And we, of course, want to first up wish a happy birthday to a big close friend to us

through this station, to this community, Miss Pam Ross.

Happy birthday, Pam.

Pam, of course, many know her from the ODC and her decades of work over there.

Pam is also part of the Antoinettes with Ben and Sarah and a great band, great local

band that a lot of people, I believe, have heard around here and everything.

But I have to do this and sometimes I embarrass her with this.

And I've told the story many times and I will never stop telling the story because of

how much I believe in the ODC and the work they do over there.

My Aunt Pat had a, my Aunt Pat, people asked me recently why I'm so into the Olympics.

And when I was a kid, I first up grew up in the 80s, when I get a huge in America with

the 80s, with some of the stars we had and everything.

But my Aunt Pat was actually on course to compete to possibly be in the Olympics as a gymnast.

She was very talented and very energetic and had a lot of great energy, beautiful smile

all this.

My Aunt Pat was hit by a drunk driver and it altered her brain.

She has, her maturity is, cannot go higher than 16, 15, sort of like that.

Her body healed, but her mind never did.

Right.

And when my grandparents moved out here, my Aunt moved with them and she was just, that

was pretty much going to be her life.

She was going to live with my Nana Papa and, you know, she'd have good life, but she

wasn't really going to live the life of a, where she was going.

The direction her life was going and everything with my, my Nana Papa found out about the

ODC.

They reached out.

And these, I don't want to say it's the early days of the ODC, but a much earlier version

of the ODC that we have now with the team that they have over there and milkweed market

and ink splashed and some of that.

And Pam, Pam came to our house, Pam came there, sat with my Aunt Pat, worked with my

Aunt Pat one-on-one.

Over time, built her confidence up and helped her understand a little bit more of her own

brain and her own life.

And my Nana Papa and myself helped us understand what she was going through.

And eventually, she got a job at Chopco and was working there for a couple of years.

And then ended up meeting a guy and moving back to Illinois.

And right now, I am, I am not 100% where my Aunt Pat is.

I believe she's in the South somewhere, but her and her husband travel all over the place.

Wow.

None of this happens without that.

Right.

I can't imagine where my Aunt Pat actually would be without the ODC, without Pam.

So when I talk about Pam Ross, I'm not just talking about somebody who has impacted this

community or done some great entertaining with music and everything.

I'm talking about one of the people I first think of when I think of the, what Wisconsin

rapids is.

Absolutely.

It is.

She, to me, is a great example of that.

And I just read what I had written, Pam, I just know.

We appreciate you, Pam.

Have a great day.

Happy birthday, Pam.

I want to wish you a happy birthday to Tommy Ganon as well.

Happy birthday, Tommy.

Happy birthday, Tommy.

Wish you a happy birthday to an old high school friend of mine, Marcella Hernandez Garcia.

Happy birthday, Marcella.

Marcella is awesome.

Marcella is beautiful.

What a beautiful name.

Oh, yeah, that's a pretty name.

Yeah.

So a wonderful soul.

Wonderful soul.

Enjoy your day, Marcella.

Our qualifiers got in at the last second, Pam.

They did.

The last second, but you got it into us and thank you for that.

We want to wish a very, very, big happy anniversary to Bill and Lacey.

Lennese.

Lennese.

Thank you.

Lennese Hofferman.

Happy 75th.

Yes.

75 years.

Gotta hit that.

Gotta hit that.

Gotta hit that.

I'm pretty sure I've been racking my brain.

I don't know if we've had a higher number before for anniversaries.

I'm pretty sure that's the highest we've ever had.

75 is incredible.

I can't wrap my mind around that.

They are both in their upper 90s and still live in a great life.

They are just some of the sweetest people who are very active at the church.

So it's great to be able to celebrate them on air.

Happy anniversary, Bill and Lennese.

Lennese is one of the prettiest names I've ever heard.

I don't know if I've ever heard of one.

It's a unique name.

It's great.

We got to bring that one back.

That's a good one.

That's a good name.

To both of you, happy 75th.

You make all of our romantic hearts happy and enjoy your day and enjoy your anniversary

you two.

You deserve it.

And you're our qualifiers.

We take a look at our celebrity list.

Gina Rodriguez is 40.

She is Jean the Virgin and the voice of Carmen San Diego.

Yeah.

And she's also on a new show called Not Dead Yet.

Yes, I just seen that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And she plays an obituary writer who sees the ghost of the people that she's writing.

Ooh.

Yeah.

It is a hilarious show.

It is a comedy kind of a dark comedy.

It's a dark comedy kind of thing.

Yeah.

I like to check that out.

Yeah.

It's on Hulu.

It's so if you've missed it.

It airs on ABC.

But it's on Hulu if you've missed it.

I highly recommend it.

It genuinely sounds interesting to me.

It sounds like an original story.

Like an original concept.

That's kind of cool for TV.

You don't get to see that much anymore.

That's a cool idea.

I hope that show does well.

It seems like it's doing well.

It's hilarious.

It's hilarious.

I guess she's good.

She is good.

Yeah.

She's also a great example of the acting game has changed so much.

It used to be TV is where you went.

It was like AAA.

And then you went to TV and if you were good enough, you get to movies.

Right.

You're Bruce Willis doing moon lighting.

And you're a big enough star with enough charisma in that jaw.

And eventually you're doing die hard.

That kind of thing.

Now the game has completely changed.

You can not only have an established career in TV in multiple roles

and multiple things, but also have movie casting directors

looking at you and pulling you.

At the same time, you could be a movie actor, do a TV series,

and go right back to movies.

That changed not even that long ago in the early arts.

That started a change.

I could not be happier about that.

And you're starting to throw in theater as well.

No.

You're starting to go all back and forth.

Hope Solo is 43 Olympic and World Cup Hero

who was one of the greatest female goalkeepers in the world.

Wow.

Part of why we won some Olympic Games there is because of hope Solo.

Deva Zappa is 45, Frank Zappa's youngest daughter,

sister of moon unit, Dweezle and Ahmed Zappa.

She seems like a fun person.

And has been doing some interesting things creatively.

But I say this with every bit of compliment and somebody

who is carrying my father's nose as well.

She has got her father's nose.

She has got so much of her father's to look to her.

And it just is cool to see.

She's an interesting person.

Jamie Pressley is 47.

Jill on mom.

Joy on my name is Earl.

I think one of those character actors you'd know if you saw.

I'm a huge fan of Jamie Pressley.

She is very good.

She's so funny.

And she does attitude.

One of the best I've seen doing attitude like on TV.

And her breakout role I think was on my name is Earl.

She had done some TV stuff before.

But that's really where people got to know her.

Criminally underrated show.

Yes.

Got to love that show.

And I almost wish they would just bring it back for like one

episode just because of the way things ended.

Like they landed it on such a cliffhanger.

And they told NBC told the writing staff,

you'll be back another season.

And of course they weren't.

But they wouldn't have ended it that way.

Exactly.

If they didn't know.

It don't gangers me.

Good show.

Good show.

They need to do a reunion show.

Yeah.

I think so.

I think so.

Hillary Swank is 50 today.

Good number.

Yeah.

Yes.

Yes.

She won the best actress Oscars for a million dollar baby.

And boys don't cry.

She was also Julie Pierce in the next cry to kid.

And incredible actor.

Incredible actor.

Not sure necessarily why she hasn't been working as much.

But I know she did a TV show on Hulu a little while ago.

And mom and dad Alaska something.

Okay.

My mom was all glued to it.

She really liked it.

But this again to the point of that's a two time Oscar winner.

Yeah.

And she goes and does TV and she's still getting movie work.

Absolutely.

It's very interesting the way that works now.

Tom Green is 53.

Writer, director.

Of course the Tom Green show.

Yeah.

And so many other shows.

And cancer survivor.

Yes.

I'm glad you mentioned that too.

Because I really admired the way he handled that.

Yes.

She was in Zoolander.

Zoolander too.

Dodgeball.

Her and Ben Stiller were married for quite some time.

Yes they were.

And she was Marsha on the Brady.

Yeah.

I was going to say the Brady bench movies.

Yeah.

She looked perfect for that role too.

She did.

She's funny.

She's a funny actress.

Again, another one that that kind of became her breakout role.

She had done some TV work before that.

Christopher Nolan is 54 right now.

Director of the Dark Knight Trilogy.

Dunkirk.

Memories.

Yeah.

Christopher Nolan is 54 right now.

Director of the Dark Knight Trilogy.

Dunkirk.

Memento.

Inception.

Oppenheimer.

Yes.

Just one best director for Oppenheimer.

Yes.

I want to use this as an opportunity to audition for him.

Just a case he's listening.

No.

Just one of those directors.

Anybody worth it would love to work with.

Yes.

There are actors that go out of their way to audition for his movies.

Just to have a chance at a future project even.

He's one of the more sought after directors.

Not just when it comes to production companies, but actors.

Like wanting to work with him.

He brings out the best in you.

You get better when you work with him.

Yes.

And I think that that's very noteworthy.

I look at Robert Downey Jr. in a close regard because of being near him working with him.

And also just enjoying his career and his arc of his career.

The role that Downey won in Oppenheimer was not something that Downey auditions for everything.

He refuses to be handed a role.

So Christopher Nolan went to Downey's house to talk to him and tell him,

look, you're the only one I want for this.

Your type of energy is amazing, but it only works for certain characters, I think.

And really broke it down with him and broke down Downey's acting like he had never heard before.

Wow.

And really got into it with him.

They talked for a long time, convinced Downey that this is a good project for him.

And Robert ends up winning his first and maybe his only Oscar.

I don't know how many opportunities he's going to have at that.

It's just pretty cool to see and a cool story.

And just speaks to how much this means to Christopher Nolan to get the right person for the right part.

And regardless of box office sales and some of these things.

Well, and that's a gift to be able to look at the project as a whole as the most important thing,

rather than just the money that you can make from it.

I've gotten back to studying directing a little bit more,

looking at doing it next year.

And he's one of the top people I've been looking at and researching and finding out more and more

what makes him tick and how he does what he does.

And the more I read about him, the more I'm like, my God, I just want to be in the same room with that guy.

I let alone have him direct me.

Because when you get directed by certain directors, you get better.

Right.

And to me, that's one of the best parts of acting.

I can always get better at it.

I can keep working, keep working.

I can be 95 and still learning and growing at the craft.

There's not many things you could say that about.

I think that's one of the joys of acting to me.

Right.

Simon Baker is 55, Patrick Jane on the mentalist and dead reckoning.

Riley in land of the dead.

Terry Cruz is 56.

Terry Cruz, not only Hale on the expendables.

It was in the old Spice commercials for a while.

Brooklyn 9.9, he's on as well.

Okay.

Great character actor, great actor.

I personally am a big fan of Terry Cruz also for his silence breaking in the Me Too movement,

where it was focused and it should be on a lot of the women that came forward

and very proud of that moment in time and everything.

Terry Cruz came out and talked about being abused as a man.

And as a man who was abused, this is something that where guys,

we're not supposed to talk about these things.

We're not supposed to share this stuff.

And it hurts our machismo and everything.

I am just as much of a man as I was before you knew that about me and after.

And I guarantee you, go ahead and try to tell Terry Cruz he's not.

Go right ahead.

Look him in the eye.

Go ahead.

Good luck with that.

It's important and it's cool to see.

It's also unfortunate that it has caused him a lot of jobs.

Absolutely.

But thankfully still working and still doing some good stuff.

Just saw him at the Olympics doing some stuff there in Paris enjoying that.

Vivek A. Fox is 60.

Candice on Empire.

She was in the Kill Bill Moose.

Ella enchanted Independence Day.

I mean, great actor.

Great actor.

Lisa Kudrow is 61.

How is that possible?

Yeah, that's a wow.

Phoebe on Friends, of course.

She starts in Time Bandits right now as well.

She's doing a really good job on that.

It's a good actor, good actor.

Her and she's a great interview too.

She's a really good interview.

She was just on Conan O'Brien show.

Lawrence Fishburn is 63.

That voice.

Man, that voice.

Morpheus in the Matrix movies.

Pops in Blackish.

Just actually child actor.

Lawrence Fishburn.

Going back to Apocalypse Now and everything.

Fantastic actor.

Fantastic actor.

One of the best out there.

And let's see here.

Kate Bush is 66.

Running up that hill, Worthington Heights.

So many good songs.

Wonderful, unique voice.

The great Delta Burke is 68 today.

Miss Suzanne Sugar Baker.

Absolutely.

Oh God, I love her.

Delta Burke's awesome.

And what a great name too.

Suzanne Sugar Baker.

That's a good name.

Anita Hill is 68.

Frank Stallone is 74.

Okay.

And Arnold Schwarzenegger is 77.

Incredible.

77 for the Terminator.

And it's not a tumor.

It's not.

You do the job.

You do the job.

He did a great job of making fun of himself

with those commercials.

I admire anybody who can take a joke.

They can make fun of themselves.

We need more of that in life.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has done that

over and over in his life and his career.

Yes.

And when we talk about arcs of a person's life.

I mean, there aren't many more wild ones in Arnold Schwarzenegger's.

Oh my goodness.

Yeah.

He comes to this country, can barely speak English,

is getting roles like Conan and some other ones

where he's not speaking very much.

He does a body builder movie.

All of that.

And then like just flash forward a little while

and he's governor or California.

Right.

Like what the what?

Yeah.

There are there's a great debate that goes on between

is is a Sylvester Stallone.

Interesting that his brother Frank has a birthday shared

with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

That is Stallone or Schwarzenegger.

The biggest movie star.

Right.

The biggest action star of all time.

Right.

And these two have become friends

and talked about this a lot and everything.

And they both push back.

No, you are.

No, you are.

It's kind of cool to see this happen with their lives

and the arc of their career.

Well, you have to wonder did they make each other better?

Absolutely.

Because they were constantly up against each other

at the box office and up against each other for roles

and to see how far they both came because of that.

And it was a friendly rivalry.

Yeah.

It wasn't that they talked bad about each other

to get what they wanted.

It was that they made each other better.

Yeah.

They've talked about this recently in a document

that they both did where they kind of interviewed each other.

And Stallone's talking about how he won

he won like a people's choice or something like that.

And how he wanted to make sure that Schwarzenegger felt it

and everything.

And Schwarzenegger was like, I didn't even, you know,

I thought it was cool.

I was cheering for you.

They didn't realize they were both fans of the other

all these years.

Oh, wow.

And it wasn't until they got older

and their career has kind of faded a little bit for a while.

Right.

That they were able to kind of put the egos aside

and hey, wait, you two.

And so they've done expendables together

and some other things.

I know that they're both way up there.

I'm kind of hopeful that they'd like just those two

star in an action vehicle.

Just one more.

Just one more.

One more.

One more less ride.

You know that kind of thing.

Look at me go.

Paul Enka is 83 today.

Put your head on my shoulder.

Lonely boy.

Some big hits.

Dick Wilson would have been celebrating a birthday

on this day.

Classic Charmin T.P.

Spokesman.

Mr. Whipple.

He was Mr. Whipple.

Don't squeeze the Charmin.

The great Henry Ford born in the state in 1863,

passed away in 1947.

Thank you, Mr. Ford.

And Emily Brote born in the state in 1818,

passed away in 1848.

British author who wrote,

Worthington Heights,

the classic novel that was inspired by Kate Bush,

who turned 66 today.

All kinds of tie-ins.

Oh, Emily Brote is wonderful if you get a chance to read her.

Really good writer.

Really good writer.

One more time.

We shouldn't have happy birthday and anniversary

to everybody out there celebrating.

And especially to our qualifiers.

I want to wish them one more time.

Happy anniversary.

Happy anniversary, Bill and Lynne.

Sofferman.

We wish you a great anniversary to Beth.

And I'll be back with some Olympic coverage.

And more on the morning show at WFHR.

Welcome back everybody.

Morning show here at WFHR.

Locally grown radio.

Beth and James hanging out with you this morning.

Thanks so much for joining us.

We hope you're having a great, great start to your Tuesday morning.

Thanks for hanging out with us.

I'm going to dive into the Olympics right now.

I've got to run down to some of the fun moments

from the past day of the Summer Olympics in Paris.

For starters, Simone Biles is amazing.

Yes, she is.

That's all we're going to talk about.

That's all I want to talk about.

I don't know the men are up there too.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

I'm just completely a complete sucker for this woman.

Enjoy watching her so, so much.

And honestly, I think a lot of us thought

that last Olympics were her last Olympics.

And she had the breakdown and was not able to compete.

And it was a shame to see the greatest of all time kind of go out like that.

Seeing her come back, I honestly, I went into these Olympics thinking

she is there.

She wins.

Right.

Just being there.

Just competing.

Just breaking through that little loan at her age

where most gymnasts are done.

Yeah.

They're they're they're commentating the Olympics now.

They're not actually competing.

Right.

The fact that she's competing is almost on the same level

of a 40 year old LeBron James averaging a double double

or dominating the Olympic Games right now in basketball.

It's on that same level.

Simone's performance on the uneven bars is trending.

If you get a chance to watch it, do yourself a favor and do so

because you're just not going to see anybody else on those bars like her.

And I think of all the like there's there's that.

There's the horse.

There's the course of the floor routine for gymnasts.

Out of those, all of those, those uneven bars are the one

that always freaked me out the most as a kid.

It wasn't so much the flipping around.

It was and they don't do this as much as they used to.

They kind of gone a different route.

But back like when we were kids, there was the smashing yourself

on the bar stuff and everything.

And it's just always thought that like, oh,

that couldn't feel good.

Sixteen year old Hezley Rivera is the youngest member of Team USA

and she is pretty awesome herself.

Yeah.

She could be the next up and comeer when it comes to gymnasts.

Really looking forward to seeing where she goes.

Snoop Dogg was everywhere.

Yes, he was.

He may be moving to Paris.

I don't know.

You got to hear his commentary during a badminton match

between the US and China.

It was incredible.

And I would love to see this like his career go to commentating.

Okay.

Snoop is a big hockey fan.

And he is commentated for a handful of hockey games.

Oh, really?

And I personally, I think that the hardest game to do commentary for is hockey.

It's the hardest one to follow.

It's the hardest one to keep the pace going.

To keep the audience understanding what it is.

Hockey is one of those sports where they're always getting new viewers,

always getting new listeners.

And you really have to be good at this.

And you don't know who you're turning on to the sport.

Right.

Snoop was incredible at it.

He was very good at it.

I don't necessarily, I think he's a color commentator.

I don't think you want him for play by play.

Right.

But if you're just having him in there to just add to the story, if you will,

he's great at that.

He's a great improvver.

He's very quick on his feet.

And something I don't think a lot of people would realize.

He is polite.

Yes.

This guy has some class to him.

Yes, he does.

And he carries that well.

And he understands like how much, what Snoop do you want me to be in this situation?

He is not, he is always himself and at the same time can pull back a little bit in certain areas

like he did on this and like he's been doing with the Olympics.

He understands the expectations that come with the different situations he finds himself in.

It's just an incredible career, incredible life.

If you can find footage of it, he interacts with the women's team during their qualifying.

And they notice him and they get excited.

Yeah.

And he notices them and he gets excited and to see them play off each other is hilarious.

It's so cool to see some of these things about the Olympics.

I'm not a big Tom Cruise guy or anything, but I saw Tom Cruise there.

Yeah.

And he was like like a little school boy running around asking for autographs and stuff.

Like Tom Cruise, this guy who always has people around him and is such a bubble and everything.

Yeah.

Even he was out there doing some of that stuff.

It just speaks to how much we still love these games and these athletes.

Yes.

And what it means and in a day and age and not just here in the US.

This is around the country, this is around the whole world.

In a day and age like this to see that that flag still brings out pride in people

who represent that flag, who are from that flag.

That means something still.

Like I don't let that get lost on anybody in these moments and everything.

With all the wins or losses or any of that, the fact that not just us here in the States,

but around the whole world, people are still taking pride in their country.

Yes.

That's beautiful.

That's really something to see.

Because for one, no country is flawless.

Right.

Every country's got some issues and some protesters about this or that or whatever.

But even regardless of any of that, we still are waving our flag.

We are still proud of where we're from.

And that will never get lost on me or refuse to let that be normalized.

I think that's so cool.

This is also pretty cool.

After winning Olympic gold in the women's 100 meter fly American Tory Husk,

invited her teammate, Gretchen Walsh, who got silver to stand on the top of the podium

with her on the US National Anthem.

Oh.

I don't know if I've seen that very often.

I don't know what the rules are on that or anything.

But what are they going to do?

Take away the gold.

They're going to take it away from you.

Go ahead and bring your teammate up there.

I think that's pretty cool.

Yeah.

And there were a couple of interesting moments too here and there and everything.

But just kind of awesome.

And who says grandparents are not hip to skateboarding?

There's a video online of American skateboarder Paige Hayan, checking in with her grandpa virtually.

And her grandpa kind of like, okay, well, you know, you got to make sure you do this move.

And this move, the grandpa knows his skateboarding.

Yeah.

Like, that's pretty cool.

And viewers noticed the Dutch artistic gymnast, Kasmeer Schmidt,

was, has the Super Mario character, Toad, and the Pokemon character, Nuke Mu, tattooed on his arm.

And that got raving.

That got all over the place and everything.

And my boys will watch the Olympics if they knew that.

And there is a new American icon.

Everyone is freaking out over this kind of nerdy, pummel horse guy named Steve.

Yes.

Who came through in the clutch and to deliver a bronze for the US men's gymnastics.

This is noteworthy because every medal is noteworthy in their performances.

But it's also the first medal in 16 years for a US men's gymnast 16.

And that is the only part of the gymnast, that's the only element.

That he competed in.

He was the last person of the team in the last event.

So he spent the whole time getting water, cheering on his teammates.

And when it came down to it, it was down to him.

And he pulled it out.

That's so cool.

That's so cool.

And Stephen and Neterole, Neterozik is his name.

And yeah, I've watched that performance like two or three times now.

It's really cool to see.

Well, and what makes it even more powerful for me is both of his parents immigrated from Poland here.

So that he could have this kind of an opportunity.

And here he is competing for the USA and getting the bronze.

And this is the power that our country has.

Absolutely.

We are power.

I don't know what you would necessarily say.

There's a lot of things that you could say.

Well, this is the greatest export America has.

This is the greatest thing that America offers.

What have you?

It's a long list.

And I'm very proud of everything on that list.

But I think the thing that I would hope, and most are proud of, is that word, hope.

Yes.

We are a beacon of that in the whole world.

And especially to countries, not just third world countries, but a country like Poland.

That is a proud country and a beautiful country and everything.

But even with that, there are opportunities here that aren't there.

And we still have this.

The Statue of Liberty has not shut her doors, everybody.

And let's not forget that.

It's important.

And if you were a proud American, I would think you'd be proud of that.

Right.

And it wasn't just him.

I should mention also Paul Judah, Brody Malone on the parallel bars, Fredrick Richard as well,

and Asher Hong, all competed and held on.

They nailed it yesterday.

Well done.

Well done, everybody.

Just a quick look at the team USA snagged eight more medals at the Olympics yesterday.

But no goals.

We did hold on to the overall medal lead with 20 after day three.

But if you just go by the gold medal count, we ended in six place.

Japan was first with six goals.

Then France, China, Australia, and South Korea with five, US with three.

We added a silver and bronze and skateboarding, a silver and bronze in women's swimming,
