Message in a Bottle (Hour 1)

Good morning, Wizcats. Morning, world. It's a new day. And thanks for kicking it off with us here at WFHock.

Got your host James J behind the mic. I am joined by our head of production, our co-host Seth Tapphacker.

Good morning, everyone. And the best listeners in radio. And we're not just joined by all that today or our good friend Brittany Murlow.

We are joined by our old friend, the son. Yes. Hello, son. Good to see you. Hi, you've been.

I walked into the studio just running around this morning and everything. And I get here before the sun comes up.

And I walk in and I haven't gotten to see the sunrise in a while. I got to watch it. It was fantastic, Brittany.

Oh, that sounds so serene. I'm so excited. This big old happy high pressure. That's what I always call it.

It's always difficult to smiling. It's moving in. It's taking over today, tomorrow, and even into portions of Friday and Saturday as well.

It's just going to be a gorgeous end to the week. And I will say, if you're feeling anxious or stressed or anything in any way, my recommendation, something that works for me, is going out for a walk.

Really just get outside, feel the fresh air, enjoy the sunshine. You know, that vitamin D definitely helps things.

And today's the day to do it. If not tomorrow, we're good to go. We are looking at temperatures today, reaching into those low fifties.

And then the mid fifties tomorrow. So some above average temperatures comfortable out there. And the wind is barely going to be moving too as well.

So just a gorgeous next few days. Perfect. Fall weather over under how many people we see in shorts tomorrow.

I'm going to say at least three or four. I'm going to say at least three or four we see. Is that include you?

Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yes.

Pretty real quick before we let you go.

Seth and I are opening topic today is why does 60 degrees feel colder in the fall than it does in the spring?

We're going to dive into this one a little bit, but I thought this was an interesting topic.

Yeah. I know that really is. I feel like it's our bodies are just so used to the heat that the cold kind of cuts right through us.

And it's harder for us to adjust and get those red blood cells really built up to handle the winters that we're used to.

And then when you come off of the crazy winter, your blood is ready and thicker and all of these things and you're used to that.

60 degrees in the spring feels like summer. Absolutely.

Yep. We appreciate your printing. That's good. Very good stuff. We're going to find out. We'll find out how good we're where we're lying down that one.

Brittany, thank you so much for joining us. We'll get together tomorrow. Get people ready for the weekend.

So good. Can't wait. Have a good day.

You do. Best in a business. Our friend, Brittany, we're going to be joining us every morning right in this time slot.

Seth and I are going to get into new relationship trend using chat GBT to win fights.

What? I don't know what that is. Well, I think that's a start looking for a new relationship.

Yeah. That seems like a really good. That seems exactly where that was going to go.

We got that one coming up for you. We're also going to talk about Steve from Blues Clues has got something for us.

We have got the 9 o'clock hour kicking off with our, of course, what we do on Thursday is our pet of the week.

Looking forward to talking to the Southwark County Mates Society today.

Yeah. Seth and I got a bunch of entertainment news for you.

We're going to talk about a couple of movies that are going to be made one off of an old children's toy that I never would have guessed in a billion years.

Okay. And a George Clinton biopic. I want to get into that one.

Oh, that coming up peaked my interest.

And also all the Pixar movies ranked. We've got this one just sitting here.

I don't know. We've been looking to get into this. And I was talking to a couple of listeners last couple of days.

And they were looking for palette cleansers and for things to kind of just throw on the TV to, you know, just zone out.

Yeah. Just basically that. I don't feel like I know I need to think enough to breathe.

Okay. But outside of that, I just blank slate, right? Yeah. Just wipe it out.

I'm not even sure blinking is going to happen. I don't know about that.

You just want movies to be able to, and this is one of those things that a lot of people go to a lot of the Pixar movies, a lot of anime and movies.

Makes sense. Yeah. We'll get into some of that. We'll get all those things coming up for you.

It has a NDL cafe birthday anniversary club is right around the corner.

As I mentioned, does 60 degrees in the fall somehow feel colder to you than the same temperature in the spring?

Someone asked whether experts would up with that. And here, I hope they asked just like that.

Yeah. What up meteorologist guys? I should have asked Bernie that way.

Yeah. What up? Well, come on. I should have really pressed her. Come on, Bernie.

Here are the four reasons 60 might feel like t-shirt weather in April, but sweater weather in November.

The humidity level. It tends to be higher in spring when the humidity level is high. It tends to feel warmer.

Right. Exactly. I think that was the first and the only one that I was thinking of, honestly.

Right. Right. It's usually a lot drier as we head towards winter. So yeah. That makes sense.

This article comes to us from Reader's Digest and a big shout out to them.

I will always owe them a grud of gratitude. They were the first people to publish me.

But also this is one of those articles. I'd probably just read the first part. I'll be honest.

Oh, humidity level. Well, that's all I do. But there's so much more to it actually.

I would have been this. I would have been. I would have not been informed.

Right. The ground is colder. The air temperature might be 60, but how cold the ground is matters too.

If you're talking about a 60 degree day on May 7th versus November 7th, the temperature of the ground is a lot colder in November of course.

Great. As it starts to cool off, I had never thought about that. But man, that does have a lot to do with it.

And of course, the humidity to at least in Wisconsin, in the Midwest, to the northern Midwest, as the snow melts, that increases the humidity by a lot as it starts to evaporate.

So gosh, that makes sense.

By parents' house, we recently had a part of the roof read done. And it's a huge, like kind of like, whoo, kind of thing.

Especially right before winter, everything. And then oh, the very next day is when we started getting all that rain.

So that was really nice timing. But then my dad's next big project is he wants to put up a fence.

And we've been talking and building on this and working on it. He's actually done a lot of the homework on this one and everything I'm really proud of him for.

But we are getting, gearing up for it and they're like, oh, we got to wait till spring.

We could probably get him into the ground now when everything and realistically put it up.

But we want to take our time with it and the ground much more, you know, as far as my brother who's put up a fence before was saying, be a lot better to do in the spring.

Exactly.

We're just going to plan it out.

That's good.

That ground is definitely a lot colder.

The wind, the wind is next.

It fall tends to be windier.

It might be 60 degrees, but not wind, the factor in the wind chill.

Yeah, I mean like the last couple of weeks, we've had tons of strong winds.

And that does cool things off considerably.

And you're used to the previous season.

Of course.

I'm pretty sad.

Yeah, our bodies take time to accumulate, accumulate.

So 60 degrees can be, feel balmy if it was 30 degrees a few weeks ago, but it can feel pretty chilly if you're coming off a recent warm spell.

Absolutely.

That's because we're warm blooded, man.

That's the whole thing.

I don't know if it's, okay, top 10 most hated things.

But low on the list.

We're not talking real hate.

You just strongly dislike.

It is winter.

I get in the shower and getting out.

Getting out.

Yeah.

Just that cold.

That one, that blast.

Yeah.

Cold just.

It doesn't last that long, but still it's like jolting.

I'll figure out a way to do radio with the shower.

Because I do not want to get out.

I just want to stay in there.

I'm in the shower now.

All of my paycheck on my water bills.

I'm not getting out.

I know what's waiting for me.

I know no matter how warm I am right now, as soon as I turn that water off.

Tell me, yeah.

And shower curtains for the love of all that is.

Like this.

Okay.

No, no.

Oh, now you're on it now.

Yes.

Shower curtains, man.

I don't know what it is.

My parents cannot seem to have a shower curtain that does not want to like get with me.

Like flirt with me.

The shower curtain will not leave me alone.

All I'm trying to do is wash up and get out of there.

And it's on me.

It's on me.

Get off me.

And it drives me nuts.

That is one of my biggest pet peeves.

Yes, the shower curtain.

I thought I only had like one or two pet peeves.

I think I got like three or four of that.

Yeah.

Maybe you get older.

You get a few more.

I guess collecting more as you get older.

Just getting closer and closer to just a you're going to just find me.

Where's James?

Outside yelling at a club.

Yep.

He finally lost it.

He finally lost it.

Yep.

One day.

It's not today.

Not today.

And let's go ahead and dive right in.

We've got two possible qualifiers.

We need a one or two.

Let's do one today.

All right.

It gives us the qualifier and getting right into it.

I want to wish a happy birthday to Laura Bennett.

Laura.

Happy birthday.

Enjoy your day.

Hope it's a great one for you.

She's a mutual friend of my sister and I.

Oh, really?

She's awesome.

Laura, that's an interesting name.

It's a great name, isn't it?

Yeah, it's a really good name.

She's not an Android-ish.

You know what?

She's a Star Trek reference there.

And you know what?

She's a Trek.

Oh, she is a Trek.

I should check.

I should find out.

Enjoy your day.

Laura knows what's going on.

Yeah.

New birthday anniversary, Lauren and Paula.

Lauren and Paula.

Lauren and Paula.

Happy anniversary.

Enjoy.

Lauren and Paula, Evanson.

I wish you guys a happy anniversary.

Yes, indeed.

Evenson.

Sorry.

Lauren and Paula, Evanson.

All right.

They are our qualifiers today.

Okay.

And we don't have a number, but we do wish them a happy anniversary.

Doesn't matter.

What are numbers, you know?

I like the idea of getting married in early November.

When the elections do come around, you've got something to look forward to.

You got it.

You got it.

What happens with the election?

We'll be happy.

Yeah.

That's good.

I like that.

And we wish you guys a great wedding.

You're our qualifiers today.

Mm-hmm.

We take a look at our celebrity list of birthday and anniversaries.

And first up, Lord.

Like, what is with the Lords today?

The L.O.Rs.

We got the Lords.

Lords.

All right.

Yep.

What is her real name?

I was curious about that.

I can't remember off the top.

I know I heard it.

Yes.

And I believe she's Australian, right?

Is she Australian?

I'm English.

She's one of the two.

Oh, gosh.

Huh.

You know what?

Oh, she's New Zealander.

Oh, she's New Zealander.

She's the Kiwi.

Oh.

That's cool.

Ella Marja Lani.

Yellow.

Yellow O'Connor.

Wow.

So, Lord seems like.

Lord's better.

Yeah.

You know.

It seems like a good idea.

With some entertainers take a nom to gear.

I think that's, it makes sense sometimes.

Yeah.

If you're supposed to have a name like that.

Like, I'm very adamant about, hey, you should stick with your real name.

Mary Steenburgeon.

Mary Stewart Masterson.

Yeah.

A Benedict Cumberbatcher.

There's plenty of actors that go by a real name.

Yeah.

It is very difficult.

Then there's an eight, like we're, like, every letter in the alphabet is in there.

What are you going to go by?

I mean, especially as a, like a musician.

It's just easier to go by the single, the single name.

So, yeah.

She's fantastic.

Great singer.

She is, very good.

A low-course royals.

Her big hit.

Her big hit.

Inspired by a picture of George Brett.

How about that?

Of all things.

Yeah.

And a lot of people, it's funny when that first came out.

They thought she was English and thought that she was speaking about royals.

Family and all that couldn't be farther from it.

Nope.

Nope.

Let's see here.

Bethany Motta.

A YouTube fashion expert is $29 today.

Adam Devine is $41.

Andy, on Modern Family.

Adam, on Workaholics.

Bumper in the Pitch Perfect movies.

He's been in a bunch of commercials, too.

Yep.

He's been in nice careers.

Yeah.

Having a solid career.

Let's see here.

Christopher Knight is 67.

Peter Brady on the Brady Bund.

That's right.

I know that name from where there it is.

Took me a second.

Yep.

Let's see here.

Joni Mitchell is 81.

Wow.

Big yellow taxi.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Great singer, songwriter.

Even more so.

I think Joni Mitchell's career was almost bigger than her music in some ways.

Just because of what she was doing with folk music and rock.

There was such a time there where the James Taylor, the Carol King, the Joni Mitchell.

Yep.

It was its own genre.

Basically it was.

Yeah.

And she is one of those that was not afraid to explore different genres.

Her version of a good by a pork pie hat.

Yeah.

That she played that she recorded with Charles Mingus.

That she added lyrics to.

It's such an inch.

It's a really cool tune.

It's really neat.

I believe if I remember right, she sought him out.

Something like that.

Yeah.

And everything to do that.

I mean, that's understanding not only great musicians, Charles Mingus, one of the greats.

One of all time, right?

Yeah.

But also understanding that this guy would know would be able to put what needs to be in this song.

I'm telling you.

It was a good singer.

A good songwriter.

Yes, he wrote some great, some standards.

Yeah.

Joni Rivers, 82 today.

Wow.

Secret.

Poor side of town and sway into the music's low dancing.

It's interesting.

Joni Rivers was a songwriter, but he didn't like to record his own stuff.

There were other people that recorded his songs, but he liked to record it.

I don't know what he explained it once, but I can't remember what it was.

But that's really interesting.

You don't see that very often.

I'd never heard that.

Yeah.

That's interesting.

Morgan Spurlock would have been 54 today.

Born in 1970, passed away just a little recently.

Back in May, from Battle with Cancer.

Right.

Of course it did supersize me.

It did some other documentary work there as well.

But that supersized me movie.

Every once in a while there's a doc that comes out that it seems like everybody sees,

and at the very least everybody knows about.

Right.

I remember very distinctly.

It was a big news when it came out.

Now it has not aged well because we found out some certain things about.

He wasn't 100% honest about some of the premises that he did with it.

It was still an interesting doc.

And I would recommend people still watch it just to see the filmmaking aspect of it.

But yeah, so you don't have to necessarily take its conclusions to the bank though.

And at the very least it certainly showed the importance of these documentaries and journalism.

Of course.

It changed McDonald's.

It did.

That movie changed McDonald's.

They never, they don't do the supersized thing anymore.

They haven't since.

And it got the whole country to start thinking, not that movie,

we're already trending this way.

But it got us to start caring a lot more about ingredients.

Yeah.

And I think it did.

It's the important work that needs to be done.

That's why documentaries are so important.

Exactly.

And they need to be done well.

Yes.

Because 100%.

Keep them interested too, right?

Right.

You tackle it.

We've seen this happen before where there are a documentary about one topic,

but multiple documentaries about it.

And those first ones that come out if they're not accurate or they know do a good job,

people get, oh, I'm not going to bother with you.

It's important.

Yep.

Like journalism's important.

Exactly.

King Kong Bundy would have been celebrated birthday today, born in 1955.

500 pound wrestler fought Hogan in WrestleMania 2, I think.

Two or three.

And I'm pretty sure it was two.

What a great man.

Those wrestlers from the late 70s and early 80s, they had the great names.

They had some of the great stuff.

Oh, I love it.

But there's one or two, you know, maybe a handful of exceptions,

but otherwise all the greatest wrestling names were in the 80s.

They were.

All of them.

All of them.

Junkyard dog.

To get, yeah.

Tito Santana.

Yeah.

Some, some a little less apropos today.

Iron cheek.

Oops.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I did age well, but.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's that's the best ever.

You never going to get me to think I will die on this hill.

Jimmy Superfly Snuck.

I know.

It's the greatest wrestling they've ever.

Hacksaw Jim Duggan.

That's up there, but I think you may be right.

Yes.

Brunner's the barber beef cake ain't so bad.

That's not a bad one.

It's going to spread the rest of the out.

Just talking about him.

He's wrestlers names.

That's all we're going to do.

Dana Plato would have been celebrating a birthday today, more than 64 past

way in 99.

I really, I watch different strokes as a kid.

And I like to her a lot.

I like to her as Kimberly.

It's a shame.

You know, drugs are horrible.

And we lost a good one there.

It would have been interesting to see what her career would have been without the drugs.

Without that happening.

Yeah.

And we wrap up with Joni Crowe, one of 1944 past 2006.

I'm just going to turn my mic off.

And let me talk about Joni Crowe.

We're talking about a baseball player.

I just flew out of the way and let you do it.

So he was the younger brother of Phil Necro.

Of course, they were both knuckleballers.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We are both knuckleballers.

Both had very long careers.

Phil got into the Hall of Fame because he was a little bit better.

But Joe also had a very good career.

He played with the twins.

He's probably best remembered in 1987 for having a piece of sand paper in his pocket.

What?

What?

I don't have a piece of sand paper here.

Oh, what is that in the ground?

I don't know.

I haven't seen that video.

You have to see it.

Look it up.

Because you will see a grown man turn into a seven-year-old in two seconds.

And it's so casual the way he does.

He tries to get rid of it and it's like, and the umpire sees it immediately.

He's like, what?

Come on.

Even though the ump sees it right away, it looked like something, I don't want to say he

practiced it.

But the baseball players can be sometimes with the routines and everything.

He felt like he had a, okay, if I get caught, this is what I'm going to do kind of thing.

And he got caught.

Yeah, me sure did.

But he had a great, I don't want to just, you have one thing in his career.

He had a very good career.

Yeah, and a very long one.

So kudos to you, Joe.

And one more time, we shouldn't have a birthday to Laura Bennett.

Happy birthday, Laura.

And a very happy anniversary to our qualifiers, Lauren and Paula Evenson.

Laura and Paula, congratulations, have a great anniversary.

Have fun.

If you look over something to do, we encourage you to head on over to El Café.

Absolutely.

They're open right now to 21 Market Avenue, beautiful port Edwards.

Head on over there, check out some of their specials for today.

Even make plans for tomorrow.

They got that fish fry that's getting more and more popular.

Roman, they're nice.

Be sure to check that out.

If you're interested in dining or carry out, you can give me a call 715-887-2233 and visit

them at 221 Market Avenue in beautiful port Edwards.

Yeah.

We will take a quick time out, check in with our news, our local news, we've got some sports

for you.

Take care of our promos and everything.

And we'll get back here and talk a little bit about this chat GPT thing with the relationships.

I want to get into that.

I haven't re-pre-read it, so I'm curious.

Well, this will be fun.

On the morning show here at WFHR.

Welcome back, everybody.

Morning show here at WFHR.

Sorry.

I love the four tops.

The temptations are fantastic, but every time I hear the spinners, man.

It's the, I mean, the harmonies in the voices are fantastic, but I just, they had a great

band.

Their arrangements were so, uh, one of a kind.

It's so, yeah.

They're just different.

There's some about them.

And this is different.

This is a different way, but I, um, I, the older I get, the more I realize, I don't think

I was really built for relationships.

I don't know.

Like, at least, especially modern ones, uh, modern love, the new relationship hack that

they're saying here for 2024.

But is this fair?

I don't know what this is.

So, uh, especially young couples are doing this right now.

They're now using chat GPT to officiate their arguments and help them win fights.

So, what you do is you feed at the details of your argument, along with each person stands.

The idea is, it's a robot, so it's a new, it's neutral.

Uh, they have an imposed, uh, talk to a few experts who said going to chat GPT for relationship

advice might not be the worst idea for some stuff, especially if you can't afford a therapist.

But be careful because it's not really that neutral.

No.

Um, this isn't a, I'm okay.

So it could be a good tool if you just need it to vent or get general advice on how to

have more productive arguments, uh, because we're all going to fight.

We're all going to argue.

Yeah.

But you want to, you want to solve something or do you just want to bark?

Well, see, that's the thing when, when they, they, they say, you know, to win an argument,

that should not be your goal, everybody.

If you're in a relationship, it is to solve the argument to, to, to, I mean, that solve

is a great work.

But you know, I mean to, uh, to find the common ground, right, figure out what the problem

is, communicate and then get, you know, say, okay, here we are.

Let's move on.

What do we need to do to get back to snuggly?

That's, that's what, so this is very important stuff.

Yes.

Yes.

It could be, it could be helpful for those reasons, but maybe not so much else.

And, and again, it is biased.

For example, there's a good chance it'll back you up.

If you phrase it like, I think they're being a jerk and my nuts, you know, something like

that.

You're already making the, the algorithm, the, the computer system bias towards the other

person.

You're leading.

You're leading your witness.

You're leading if, if we're doing an illegal sense, yeah, you're leading.

So, and, and remember, okay, these, these, these large language models, I really dislike

calling them AI, because they're not really, yeah, anyway, uh, they're, they're only as

good as the information that they have already collected.

This is, you know, and yeah, they've got the whole internet, but the whole internet is

an unbiased.

I mean, they're, so come on.

My sister, my papa was the first person I knew to have a home computer and got one of

those old PCs and everything.

I was back when my sister and I were, we're living with my non-apopuses a while quite

a long time ago.

Yeah.

And, um, they had a game for my sister to play and my sister was struggling with and she

just yells, Papa, this computer is stupid and he just comes over to her with the, with

the kindest, gentlest voice in everything.

It's like, honey, the computer's only as smart as the person who's in it.

And she'll just stare at him like she did not understand.

And she did not understand.

It's the truth.

Yeah.

These computers can't turn themselves on.

They, they can't, they can't type for themselves.

No.

They, they, they, they, you know, they are only a, they're only going to do what we do

with them.

Right.

Um, so a 25 year old guy went to Reddit for advice because his girlfriend constantly

uses chat GPT to win arguments.

He said she'll pause a fight, go to another room to ask chat GPT about it and come back

with a well-constructed argument, breaking down everything he said or did.

He doesn't think it's a fair way to fight.

So he asked her to stop, but she ran, uh, ran that through chat GPT and it said he was

being insecure.

Of course.

Now, that's one thing I can, I can see actually chat GPT and computers being like,

hey, no, you're not getting where to be.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Uh, the replies to his post that got the most, uh, was like, uh, respond with chat GPT

until she gets the point, um, like, I don't, like, I actually, I would think that, okay,

so any, anytime they're like, hey, where do you wear it?

Where do you want to go for dinner tonight?

Well, let me go to chat GPT.

What do you want to watch tonight?

Let me go to chat GPT.

Like, I don't know if that would work because this seems like this is not going to work.

Like, I don't, I have no relationship with my six expert there.

This, this reminds me, and this is always a bad sign, okay?

This reminds me of an episode of the twilight zone, okay, bad sign, first of all.

It has actually stars William Shatter in it and, uh, he, in his young wife, they get stuck

in a town.

They've never been to their car breaks down.

So they have to bring it to a shop and while they're waiting, they go to a restaurant

to kill some time.

And, uh, at the, at the booth they're at, there's a little fortune telling machine.

You put a penny in, you get a little fortune and it turns out the, uh, machine can

actually predict what's going to happen in the future.

Well.

And so, uh, they, the moral of the story is, okay?

Um, William Shatter's character doesn't want to leave because he can keep getting his

fortune from here and it's always going to be right.

But they can't, they couldn't leave the booth and you see other people come in.

They're like, like nervous and they're like, oh, we got to find out what's happening,

you know, kind of thing with this one thing because other people know about it.

And the idea is if you don't, if you know the future, you have no hope, right?

Yeah.

By not knowing we have hope, right?

That's the whole idea.

That's interesting.

This is something, it's not exactly the same, but this is very similar.

You're leaning on this to say, I'm going to chat GPT.

What do they say?

Yeah.

Like, oh, I got to go chat with you.

It's like, no, no.

You're talking more to chat GPT than your partner.

Exactly.

Like, I don't know.

Uh, as a side note, I, I feel like that's a bad business model to build a restaurant

around.

So I'm like, I mean, who's going to want to eat there?

Who's going to want to eat?

I mean, maybe I can keep, keep, keep the coffee company.

Yeah.

Oh, maybe that's what it is.

Maybe shop.

Yeah.

That would be where you have to be.

But even that, you're not really drinking.

People are just going to stick around.

I think you're almost better off just opening the store, built around that to what.

Right.

I feel like that.

I think I believe the name of the, if you want to watch it, it's a good episode.

If you want to watch it, I believe it's called Nick of Time is the name of the episode.

So, yeah.

Oh, that reminds me of a good movie, Nick of Time.

Oh, that's a good movie.

I know what you mean.

That's a good movie.

That's a great one.

You get a chance to see that one, anybody.

Christopher Walk in Johnny Depp.

They filmed it in real time.

So the length of the movie is, is actually in time of, of the movie.

There's a cool thing to do that.

It's a cool thing to do that.

It's a cool thing to do that.

It's a cool thing to do that.

It's a cool thing to do that.

It's a cool thing to do.

You only have so much time to do certain things.

It's a good movie.

Well done movie.

That's cool.

Let's see here.

I wanted to talk about this one too, Seth.

All right.

So if you miss a deadline, we all miss deadline.

We do.

It can be, you know, frustrating.

Researchers at the University of Toronto found that if you submit a piece of work late,

people will think that it's lower in quality than if you were to submit the exact same work

on time or early.

Wow.

So in other words, not only do you take a big hit for being late, but the extra effort

is immediately canceled out by the late work, seeing, seeming really worse than because

you missed the deadline.

Wow.

And the reason is simple.

It makes you less competent.

Hmm.

They did a series of experiments where they showed people in management positions the same

examples of work, including advertising flyers, art, business proposals, photography, and

S then to rate it.

They also noted if the work was submitted early on time or late, and managers consistently

rated the late work as worse in quality compared to the same work which was labeled on time.

So there was no difference other than this label.

And they immediately thought that it was worse work.

Wow.

And there are a few more interesting details with that, although that one right there is

pretty interesting.

That's pretty interesting.

It didn't matter if the work was early, the work scored the same as the stuff that was

submitted at the deadline.

Wow.

So getting early doesn't really help.

It doesn't help either.

It doesn't help either.

It ain't real points there.

Interesting.

And it didn't matter how late the work was, late was late.

It doesn't matter if it was one day late or one week late.

Hmm.

So that's kind of...

That's really interesting.

Hmm.

You know, James, we're in an industry where if you missed a deadline, you know about it

right away because it's a dead air.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We can't really...

Of course we're sometimes late with stuff, but it's one of those things.

We have great motivation to make sure everything's on time.

I don't know if I was ever necessarily late for things a lot, but I grew up with a father

that was very adamant about Jimmy.

You know, you won't go into a party be there, you know, the last person.

You want to show up late.

Really?

And everything.

Yeah.

Wow.

He's very adamant about like, that's the cool way to enter and all that stuff.

Fashionably late, right?

Yes.

Yes, exactly.

But there is...

As soon as I started in radio, like I've been...

I've been a much more of a timing person.

And I have no excuse to be late for things because everything in my brain is such a time

thing.

Right.

I can't help it.

You get into this business and you do this for a long enough time.

And there are certain parts of it that stay with you.

Right.

I almost guarantee any old radio head out there is a very similar place.

You know, and it's...

It's one of the nice things.

One thing I do have is a very good sense of time.

You know, I'm one of those people that...

Even if I don't look at a clock and I kind of have an idea, I know what time it is kind

of thing.

I'm really good at that.

Or like, how much time it's something's going to take, how long it's going to get there,

I'm very good at that.

And don't think...

I'm not just trying to do my own or the inverse of that, I have a horrible sense of direction.

So because I have a good sense of time, I have a horrible sense of direction.

That was how that one worked up.

But...

You get one of the other.

That's how it works.

That's how it works.

But even with that, you know, it was being in radio is something different, man.

You really got to learn, like, down to the second sometimes, you know, how much time

you got kind of thing.

It really is a second by second.

It is.

So, it didn't matter how late it was.

It was still, you know, looked at as late.

However, the reason behind the missing deadline mattered.

If there are forces beyond an employee's control, such as jury duty, evaluators didn't

end up with a negative view at all.

So if it was something that out of your control, then it was fine, like, you know, a hurricane

hit or something like that, right?

That makes sense.

I guess.

Wow, that's interesting.

And kind of encouraging.

Yeah.

You know, that's kind of encouraging.

Right.

And finally, researchers also found that negative effects weren't as severe if they described

the deadline or the work as, quote, not particularly important.

So if it's late, but, you know, get it to me when here's your deadline, but it's a loose

deadline.

Right.

Right.

So in other words, I think what we're getting here is that if you have an important project

or something like that, something that's deemed very valuable or something like that, make

sure you hit your deadline, because apparently that makes it look a lot better than if you

like, say, miss it even by a short period.

I was kind of hoping to learn something from this.

I don't know if we did, but I feel like we confirmed what we all know about the next

time.

At least sensed, right?

Maybe we didn't know it, but we did sense that that makes, that actually does make a

lot of sense.

So that's nice.

It's good to know, though.

I'm curious.

I want to read more about this.

You can go to fives.org, that's phys.org, but they didn't have a hard time getting that

one day.

That was probably just sitting out.

I guess it's a physics.

It must be a physics website.

Yeah, I think so.

I think so.

We'll take a time out.

We'll come back and we got some more fun stuff for you lined up on the morning show here

at WFHR.

We are locally grown radio.

So 80s.

Oh, man.

That is so 80s.

Welcome back to the show.

We're about to set the James here with you.

Hope you're having a good, good Thursday out there.

Happy Friday Eve.

Yeah.

We are here to have some fun, take you to the top of the hour.

We will kick off the 9 o'clock with our friends from the South O'Connie main society.

Yes.

I have real quick.

And I just learned this recently.

The pointer sisters grew up in Oakland.

In that same neighborhood, we're also, let's see if I can remember all of the people there.

At least three baseball players, Frank Robinson, Kurt Flood, and Vita Pinson, Ponson, Bill Russell.

Also grew up in that same neighborhood.

And that is also the neighborhood of Ricky Henderson.

Oh, all in the same neighborhood in Oakland.

They all went to the same school.

Oh, my God, man.

That talent show.

I'm telling you.

Yes.

In the heck of a talent show.

And the pointer said, and their brother, by the way, I don't know if you know this, their

brother was a NFL official for many, many years.

Oh, oh.

I didn't know that.

That was also in the area where John Madden grew up too.

Okay.

Nice.

Nice.

Any relation to Buster Point Dexter?

Any?

No.

It's pointer.

It's pointer.

You're right.

His name is David Jansen.

Come on, man.

You should have thought that joke through.

Not bad though.

Louis Vuitton is one of the more popular brands and expensive brands in the world.

I've actually only seen Louis Vuitton things.

I've never, like, touched anything, you know, seen any of that.

Right, yeah.

So, what if I told you that you could get a brand new house for just $60,000.

But hang on.

The next part is important because Louis Vuitton is now selling a designer doghouse for 60 grand.

Oh, wow.

So you would have to live at a doghouse.

But it is Louis Vuitton.

It is.

The whole thing is covered in the tan and brown Louis Vuitton pattern they use for their

purses.

It's technically a kennel, so an indoor doghouse.

Oh, wow.

It's not even an outdoor doghouse.

It's not even an outdoor one.

Oh, come on.

If you left it outside, you'd ruin the cow hide leather trim and a monogram coated canvas.

It also comes with a golden-toned hardware, a removable door, and a hidden hatch on the bottom

for easy cleaning.

Oh, okay.

It's part of the fact like the person that buys this isn't going to clean it.

No, they're not going to clean it.

Exactly.

It's part of the fashion brand's new pet line that includes a $2,200 dog bowl, a $2,300 pet

flask, and a $470 poop bag holder.

Wow.

I don't care what the scenario, who the person is, I walk into their house and I see this doghouse.

I'm walking right out.

You and me are not going to get along.

Okay.

I agree with you more.

But I've got to say business-wise, not a bad idea for Louis Vuitton to do the pet

started and the pet thing, man.

Yeah.

I'm telling you.

I'm sure there are people that can afford this mind you, but I don't know.

It actually looks like a doghouse, like an outside doghouse, but you can't put it outside.

Yeah.

I need to say something to it.

This is not going to be popular.

The Louis Vuitton pattern and all that is very ugly to me.

Yeah.

It's extremely ugly.

I'm not digging it, especially for a doghouse.

I could see it working if it was cheaper.

100%.

It's one thing to have to pay these prices, but then you put out the fact that it just looks ugly to me.

It's an ugly color.

That's a really interesting brow go.

Dark brown.

Yeah.

I don't know.

I don't get it.

Maybe a bit.

We're just not fashion guys, I guess.

That is very clear with me.

That is very, very clear with me.

Louis Vuitton may have just gotten actually a raise and just by me not liking it, actually,

might have helped me.

Oh, wow, wow.

We know it must be good taste to that.

I've got to see what a almost $500 dog poop bag.

Yeah.

It's just a little bit.

It's not even a bag.

It's open in there.

It's like a duffel.

I mean, it's supposed to carry the bags, I think, that your poop bags, I think, those stay the same.

Yeah.

I don't know.

I don't know how you could do that.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know how you could see that that's a good idea.

Not sure.

You have more money than cents.

Now.

Most people have a lot of money.

Don't have a lot of cents.

Let's put it there.

I think this guy might have had a good idea.

Okay.

An Oregon man hollowed out his prized 1,214-pound pumpkin and plunged it into a Washington river

for a record-breaking 45.67 mile paddling journey.

Really?
