Future Stay at Home Papa (Hour 2)

Good morning, Wisconsin.

Morning, world.

It's a new day.

Thanks for kicking it off with us right here at WFHR.

Friday edition of the morning show, got your host, James here.

I'm joined by our head of news, our co-host, Melissa K.

Good morning.

What was that?

Good morning.

That was real emotional.

It was real.

Friday morning, I haven't had breakfast and I'm struggling.

We do real radio around here.

We do.

Not fake about that.

Somebody's got to represent the real out there.

The people feel it that way.

Melissa just did it.

Yeah, Melissa just did it.

Our head of production, our co-host, Seth Habagger.

Good morning.

And the best listeners in radio joining us.

A Friday edition of the show.

Thanks so much for joining us.

Everybody, we're going to have some fun today and we kick things off with our great friend,

Brittany Murlow.

Brittany, we're getting ready for the first day of autumn.

I know, isn't that crazy?

It's the last weekend of summer.

Oh my gosh.

You know, I don't know if this happens every year and I just don't recognize it or notice it or remember it or anything.

But it seems like Mother Nature is playing along this year.

Like we're getting these 80 degree temperatures

and then Saturday and Sunday.

It's a little bit to, and then Monday, right away Monday down to 60.

Like, hey, I said it was fall.

We're going.

We're doing this.

It seems like she's being very strict about it this year.

Isn't that awesome?

She is on cue.

She has.

She has.

She has.

She's playing.

Nice.

Well said.

Oh, gosh.

Yes.

Well, she's playing along.

We like it.

We're going to enjoy it.

We're going to soak up that sunshine today.

I know there's still a few clouds from misty conditions in the Central Wisconsin.

But the sun is working really hard to burn right through that.

And all these clouds are going to be pushing off to the east and leaving us alone for another bright beautiful day.

So highs today, reaching about 81.

We'll have some feisty winds out of the last to gusting up to 20 miles per hour.

But it will be refreshing with highs in the 80s.

And then tonight, we stay clear.

A little bit of patchy fog as possible tomorrow morning.

But another sunny, summery day.

We warm up a little bit.

Yeah, it's going to be great.

We warm up to the last day into those mid 80s.

And then everything changes.

So Mother Nature sends us a pretty big system.

One that we usually talk about with snow.

So it's that Colorado low that brings a good decent storm.

Well, the good news is it's sliding a little bit more to the south as we get closer and closer to it.

So I think we'll see some rain tomorrow night through the overnight and potentially into a good chunk of our Sunday.

But it does want to kick out at least for us up north by Sunday night,

leaving us with a beautiful Monday.

Actually some sunshine and highs in those upper 60s.

So yes, upper 60s by Sunday, Monday, and that even continues into Tuesday.

But I think the dreary dark damp weather on Sunday clears out quicker than we were thinking.

And we'll have a nice beautiful Monday.

While the southern part of the state gets soaked.

Nice.

Well, you know, we can take that.

We'll take it very good.

Brittany, thank you so much for joining us all week long.

Enjoy the autumn equinox this Sunday and we'll get together on Monday, right?

Sounds good. I'll talk to you.

I'd fall y'all.

Thanks, Brittany.

Nice.

The best of business right there.

Pretty good love.

Just every every time every morning in this time.

Appreciate her.

We got good things coming up.

Everybody, the El Café, Birthday and Anniversary Club is right around the corner,

looking forward to not only celebrating today, but Saturday and Sunday as well.

After that, we'll have a news break and then we're going to make you a star the day

with our friends from callvers.

Yeah.

We have a very fun theme song today that we'll be playing for you.

It's a TV theme song.

You get it right, which I believe you guys are going on.

And you'll win a family pack of four from our Wisconsin Rapids callvers.

And that is two kids meals.

That's two adults meals.

Free callvers.

Yeah.

We want that right now.

Oh, apparently she's hungry.

She didn't say she didn't have breakfast.

We had a weird moment last Friday.

I don't know if you heard.

That's right.

We were very close to being shut out on the star of the day.

And that was weird.

That was very strange.

It hasn't happened to me in a long time.

Yeah.

A long time.

No, I shouldn't do this because now it's going to happen.

I can't.

I would be shocked if we get shut out today.

I'd be shocked.

All right.

I purposely picked one that not only plays in historically for today.

But also is pretty well known, especially in this world.

So after that, we're going to get into some fun stuff.

We have got the, how much of the average parent gets me time?

How much me time the average parent gets?

Ten mispronounced words that make us sound silly.

Or just a day in the life of me.

Half a Gen Z years wish Tiktok hadn't been invented.

Whoa, that's interesting.

Interesting.

All that coming up.

And then that 9 o'clock hour we kick off with some entertainment news.

Hallmarks countdown to Christmas is coming.

Already.

We're going to talk about.

Have reality shows gone too far?

America has voted.

Let's find out what they have to say.

We'll also get into what's new on your small screen, new on your big screen this weekend.

And a little bit later in the 9 o'clock hour.

Now, I don't know if I believe we'll have time for this year's toy hall of fame.

We call this year.

We call this year.

We cover this better than most.

Yeah, I think so.

This goes very good.

Yeah.

Carl and I taking the show over.

Very nice.

Inmates running the Asylum at all of that.

We felt this was newsworthy.

And who covers the toy hall of fame better than us here at the morning show.

That's right.

Nobody.

No one.

And people before the people born before 2000 are sharing their quote trivial skills that nobody uses anymore.

Very dial skills.

I have the best.

Nice one.

That's a great reference.

Good reference.

What am I?

What am I children?

We were watching something.

An old movie or something.

And they did a dial phone.

And they're like, I don't get that.

How did that work?

I just don't understand how those rotary phones worked.

I want to say it's about five or six years ago.

We discovered this at a second city with an improv.

Where we would do phone conversations or anything.

We did the typical phone thing.

And the person that you're doing the scene with doesn't pick up on it and the scene is dead.

It just dies right there because they don't know that you're trying to talk to a phone thing.

They're asking almost breaking character like, why are you talking to your finger?

Why would you?

Why are you doing that?

Is your pinky special here?

What's going on?

What's the circle thing you're doing with your other hand?

Is this like some voodoo?

What are you doing?

Are you Dr. Strange?

What is this?

So the students actually taught Brian and I what they what they do now.

And it's basically just putting their hand to their face.

Oh, just like that.

Like a cell phone.

Okay.

A flat palm right to their face.

Similar to what we do with the fingers, but they just don't do the whole finger thing.

Which, let's be honest, what were we thinking?

It really doesn't look like a phone.

It doesn't know.

It looks like if you got big hands like me, it just looks like I'm doing hangtats.

Yeah, that's all it does.

It does.

Rock and dude.

I don't know that that was ever supposed.

It should have really been good for a phone.

I don't know.

I will use that for a phone for the rest of my life.

Yeah.

I still know.

I just did it just now.

Yeah.

Without thinking, just doing it.

Yeah.

But I do want to dive into the first day of fall coming up on Sunday.

Of course, we don't have a show on Sunday and Monday.

It'll be too late.

And I love autumn.

And I know I'm not alone.

In fact, when you look at people and the rankings of how it of seasons, fall tends to be number

if not number two, usually in those rankings, whatever time of year you ask.

And it's one of those fun seasons too, I think.

And I don't know many people that I don't know if actually I've ever heard somebody say they hate fall.

I think it's the only season I've ever heard.

I've never heard somebody necessarily say that.

Hate fall.

Now, I'm sure that exists out there.

But we're going to different direction to kick off the show because I want to know what are your favorite things about autumn?

What are your favorite things?

I want to hear from you too.

I want to hear from all of you out there in the audience.

715-424-2600.

You can just touch a two-way on the Civic Media app.

What is your favorite thing about fall?

Is it the cooler temps like Brittany was talking about?

We're going to be getting a sweater weather and all that.

You get to finally pull out those long sleeves.

Is it the changing of the colors?

Of the trees and everything?

Well, I'm set for you off the top of your head.

And I know I'm putting you guys on the spot.

Oh, that's right.

That's right.

What is this?

This is a hard one.

Is it?

You know, it's because I'm kind of stand alone on this one, especially with present company.

It's the sudden proliferation of candy corn.

Because I love candy corn.

So many people, for some reason, brag on it.

I'm literally killing Melissa there.

Oh, that was great.

That was good.

That's a good one.

Melissa, did anything come to mind for you?

Not candy corn.

She made it funnily clear.

I do love the change of weather to be able to pull out.

As you said, the sweaters, the long pants, the comfy clothes, as I like to call them.

Yes.

And being able to pile more blankets on me in bed at night.

Oh, I forgot about that one.

Really?

Wow.

I love that.

I love the, just the foods.

It's harvest season.

Oh, that's true.

Yeah.

It's wonderful fresh foods that are only in season now.

Very true.

It had to grow all summer.

Squash.

I can't wait to make one.

Squash is delicious.

Yep.

Love squash.

Acorn squash.

I saw a recipe that had like pecans in the butter and you bake it.

Oh, we can't wait to do that.

Oh, that sounds delicious.

Oh, my God.

You're able to turn my oven on would be real nice weather.

Thanks.

Let's take a call.

Good morning, you're on the show.

What's your favorite parts of autumn?

Okay.

Two things.

One.

My body temperature runs hot.

So I'm so excited about the cooler temperature.

That's a good one.

My fall is my favorite.

Easily.

Hands down.

No.

No contender, really.

But my favorite favorite thing.

I'm going to piggyback on Melissa.

It's food.

And the reason for it is soups and stews.

It's soup season, guys.

It's going to be soup season.

It's going to be so exciting.

That was real excitement about soup.

I've not heard that in a long time.

Wow.

I love soup.

I love making soup.

Soup is my passion.

Okay.

Wow.

She makes amazing soup.

If you've never had the pleasure of tasting the soup.

I have not.

And now I'm excited.

I want to try some soup, man.

Yeah.

The way she's talking.

We may need to have a soup off at the station, guys.

Oh, I think so.

Oh, I would.

I would just pay that.

Pretty good.

Yeah.

That would be pretty good.

Thank you, Laura.

We appreciate you.

Thanks for calling it.

Yeah.

See you soon.

That was good.

That was good.

So you actually hit on something there, Melissa, that I thought I was kind of...

I don't hear a lot of people bring up the food.

So you guys bringing up food is really interesting to me, I think.

Because I immediately thought of pumpkin pie.

And I had a lot of that.

And I thought I only did because I can't eat right now.

I am on a liquid...

I am on a liquid diet all week.

I haven't had coffee since Monday.

It does mean you could have soup, James.

Yeah.

It does.

It also means I can go insane.

I have lost my dang mind.

Oh, no.

Sleeping.

I am starving.

And everything.

I had a mac and cheese last night.

It's the first, like, really salad kind of food I've had all week.

It was the greatest food I've ever had in my life.

I did not know.

Because the poor man can't eat mashed potatoes because he hates them.

I will now.

I will eat all food now.

I will eat all food now.

I don't care what it is.

Jesus' perspective completely.

Wow.

I had no idea how much I missed food.

Do something right now, everybody.

Go to your refrigerator and tell it how much you love it.

Give it a hug.

Give it a hug.

We don't tell food enough how much we appreciate it.

Oh, wow.

I was looking forward to pumpkin pie, a lot of the food.

Very good.

Guys are saying.

The cooler weather is good.

I think that the fashion is better in fall.

There's a lot more you can do with layers.

Absolutely.

Fire pits.

That's a good one.

There's nothing wrong with fires in the summer.

It's not as nice because it's hotter out, of course.

But yeah, it's better in the fall.

And I do think that there's also whether it's subconscious or we feel it or not,

we all know that winter is coming.

And so we kind of even though the temperatures aren't 80s and 90s,

we're still getting out as much as we can.

We still want to enjoy being outdoors as much as we can.

And I think one of the things that we do really good here in the Midwest,

better than anybody, is appreciating nature and really taking nature in.

It's so beautiful around here.

You're going to see on your social media accounts,

billions of pictures of the trees changing colors and everything.

And while we do this stuff every year,

and for some people who may seem old and some of that,

every year we appreciate nature.

Every year we do.

We're taking it then and we're appreciating Mother Nature.

I didn't think about it.

That's pretty cool.

I don't know that they have a chance to do that in other parts of the world.

They know how east they do a pretty darn good job of it.

But I don't know.

I think we do a better job here in the Midwest.

We're so much cooler.

I have to bring up since you mentioned fire pits and cooler weather.

You guys this year, I want to try savory s'mores.

Savoury s'mores, huh?

Yeah, I think spicy salami s'mores.

Oh, I'm intrigued.

I'm intrigued with some salami and some melty cheese and olives on there.

Oh, I see what you're talking about.

Cheese and bacon s'mores.

Oh, cheese and bacon.

I want cheese and bacon.

I want cheese and bacon.

I want to make a poor pie.

God, am I hungry.

I'm so hungry.

Yes, sorry James.

Oh my God, that sounds amazing right now.

All of it.

Give it to be all it was looking at your fall color report as we go to break.

Looks like Rapids area is still about at 5%.

That'll be changing over the weekend as they are predicting.

Yeah.

Door County at 20% there.

Also, Marshfield, Steven's point all around 0 or 5%.

So just getting there.

Just getting there.

Just getting there.

We'll keep doing this fall report all autumn long looking forward to it.

We'll be back with the LK, the LKFA pertain in a verse or club.

Now I'm thinking about their food.

Yeah, now you're thinking about fourth food.

You just can't get away from it.

Food's so good.

We'll be back with more morning show here at WFHR.

You heard the fam for?

You know what time it is?

The LKFA birthday and anniversary club.

One of our favorite parts of the day we get to celebrate our good friends

over at LKFA and all of you.

Not just Friday.

Nope, Saturday and Sunday this week.

We get to get them all in.

Visit our friends at LKFA at 221 Market Avenue and beautiful poor Edwards.

Stop on over there, check out their great menu and keep in mind they got an express menu

that is pretty cool over there.

Yeah, just came out.

Oh, that's cool.

It's a really smart idea.

Very smart.

Man, they're good over there.

You know, breakfast and lunch burritos, wraps there, things that you can make quick

and great price for them as well.

They got such great deals, good ideas over there.

And one of the most original menus you're going to find in a whole area.

Telling you.

And among all that, the greatest thing about them, the people.

Yeah, and out over there.

Mm-hmm.

Thank you again to everybody getting us these birthdays and anniversaries.

We take a look at our celebrity list real quick.

First up on the list for today.

Philip Phillips is 34.

I would be so angry at my parents.

I know.

Why would you do that?

I believe that is his real name, too.

I think it is.

I think you're right.

Yeah.

I mean, did you just phone it in?

Did you put any thought into this one, guys?

It could be a family name.

True, but no, no better time to break it.

Because if that's a family name, that's a family

with a weird sense of humor.

I wonder if you ever went bed.

Fred, John.

Fred, John.

Nice.

Well done.

I wonder if he ever goes by Phil.

Phil Phillips.

Just Phil.

I think he probably does.

I hope his middle initial isn't P.

Yeah.

The great John Bethrel is 48.

Shane on the Walking Dead.

Frank Castle in the Punisher.

A fantastic actor and a really good interviewer.

He has a podcast.

One of those, you know, like everybody does.

Everybody does.

It's very popular.

I've watched a couple episodes.

Great interviewer.

Really good interviewer.

Interesting.

Wow.

Really interesting guy, too.

I'd like to hear him.

He's fascinating.

It's a really good actor, too.

Man, is he good?

Gunner and Matthew Nelson is 57.

Oh.

I got to interview one of them.

You did.

Was it Gunner?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Both of them great guys, though.

Really good guys.

Gunner couldn't have been a cooler guy.

Couldn't have been more laid back.

How long you need me, man?

How long?

How many questions you got and all that?

Just couldn't be more giving with this time.

We really enjoyed them when they came to town here.

It's a couple years ago now.

Yes, it was.

Let's see here.

Also, we should have your birthday, too.

George R.R. Martin is 76 today.

But don't wait for that 77th birthday.

It's never common.

I don't know.

I don't know.

You got to make the joke.

I don't know how many people get that.

I don't even know if it was a good joke.

But I had to try.

You got to try.

I'm sorry.

He did it to himself.

Come on.

Exactly.

I didn't feel himself.

My sister has completely given up.

Yeah.

She's like, he's not coming out with it.

She was so like heartbroken when she was telling me this, too.

She's been waiting for years, and I know she's not the only one.

Oh, she's not the only one.

I'm the only one.

You've never gotten into that series, and I'm so glad.

I am too.

You haven't actually.

You guys, I went through a big chunk of it, and then I got...

I just couldn't...

Even before all this, long time ago, I was like, I'm done.

I just...

I just...

I couldn't get past the first three chapters in the book.

Mm.

Yeah.

I can understand why.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, thank you.

Wonderful character actor.

Gary Cole is 68 today.

Oh, my gosh.

Kent on Veepe.

Andrew on Entourage.

But, um...

Yeah.

I'm going to need you to come in on Saturday if you can.

I mean, he's so good in the office space.

Man, he just appears in everything.

Just wait.

He'll pop up in your favorite show.

Great actor.

He'll be in your movie.

Yep.

He need me steeper.

That's not the same actor.

This is my favorite.

I love office space.

I love that movie.

But that's always what I think of.

Yes, yes.

The great Steven Root.

Now, maybe the greatest character actor of all time.

He's up there, man.

Actually, I might stand on that one.

I don't know.

The wonderful Sophia Loren is 90 today.

Legendary Italian actress.

Wow.

Good for her.

One of the greats.

You go back and watch some of her movies and everything.

And you say, oh, this is amazing.

One of the wonderful actresses and everything.

And then you see her and grumpy, old men.

And you realize this woman's prime has lasted like six decades.

Yeah.

She's amazing.

I mean, certainly, yes.

You're going to hear a lot of people.

If you hear her talk about her today,

they're going to talk about her beauty.

And, yes, incredibly beautiful.

Right.

But she's even more talented.

Like just a great actor.

Great actor.

You can't hide it for that long.

And be as successful as she was.

Sorry.

Yeah.

And Anna Mera would have been celebrating a birthday today.

Jerry Stiller's wife.

Ben Stiller's mom.

Of course, Jerry and Anna.

I mean, a wonderful tag team.

Mary Comby.

Mary Stiller and Mera.

Yes.

Yes.

Just a great tag team.

I love that one of their bits.

Just Jerry opened it up with, I hate you.

Yes.

Yes.

It's so good.

It's so good.

It's so good.

It's so good.

It's so good.

Yes.

It's so good.

It's so good.

Their stuff was very funny.

Yes.

Very funny.

And, ahead of the time.

You didn't play that scene.

I hate you.

Well done.

So, Saturday, birthdays, we take a look at Liam Gallagher's 52.

Okay.

All right.

Oasis.

Yeah.

Luke Wilson is 53.

I like Luke Wilson.

Good actor.

Good actor, Luke Wilson.

Oh, yeah.

The nose.

Yeah.

Faith Hill is 57.

Oh, yeah.

That's right.

I prefer the singer.

And a pretty good actor herself.

Yeah.

Rob Marrow is 62.

Wow.

Numbers, Northern Exposure.

Yeah.

Another good actor, I like getting to.

Dave Cooley-A is 65.

Uncle Joey and Full House and Fuller House and so many other things.

And a voice actor.

And a great voice actor.

Yes.

Really voice acted.

He did the dubbing for Richard Pryor.

Like, back in the, I think it was only for one movie.

But yeah, back in.

That's amazing to me.

Yeah.

Wow.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But he's a great mimic too.

Yeah.

He can do lots of famous voices.

Richard Pryor famously would not go back and do Reese's shoots.

Oh.

Like, he was, he was a busy guy and it like, look, you get me when you get me.

I'm not coming back.

So when there were scenes that needed to be redubbed, they would often bring in voice actors that could do the best Richard Pryor.

Yes.

Dave Cooley-A apparently was one of those guys.

Which is amazing.

By the way, that happens a lot.

Yeah.

There's a lot of celebrity people who do that for a living actually.

Yeah.

So many of your favorite lines out there, everybody.

They've been dumped by someone else.

The great, the legend Bill Murray is 74 today.

Oh, certainly one of my bigger influences and one of second city's greatest accomplishments.

Alumni.

Yes.

Alumni, I mean, alumni, yeah.

One of the greatest authors of all time.

And certainly you can make the argument greatest author of our generation.

Stephen King is 77 today.

Wow.

I love this one because it's one of the few jokes that I can make my mom laugh at.

Stephen King is such a good writer and is such an amazing imagination.

Even his imaginary best friend is a best-selling author.

Richard Bachman, the name he went under and everything.

Like even Richard Bachman is a best-selling author.

Yeah, right.

Exactly.

Whether you like King or don't like King, you have taken in some of his material.

Oh.

Whether it's TV, movies.

So prolific.

Oh my gosh.

You know, parodies.

All kinds of different things.

It's incredible to think of his body of work.
