Woody the Cat (Hour 2)

Good morning, Wisconsin.

Morning, world.

It's a new day.

Thanks for kicking it off with us at WFHR.

Got your host, James behind the mic.

Thank you so much for joining us, everybody.

Seth will be back with us in a little bit.

We'll talk some entertainment.

We'll have some other fun topics for you as well to get your Thursday morning going.

But it is the Thursday in the 9 o'clock hour.

That means we are joined by our great friends from the South O'Coney Main Society and our

pet of the week.

We have Denise with us.

Good to see you, Denise.

Good morning.

Good to see you.

Thanks so much for being here.

And you brought a friend with you.

Judy is with us.

Hey, Judy.

Good morning.

Thanks for having me.

Thanks for being here.

Appreciate the time.

Denise, would you guys mind telling us, because actually, Denise, you had a great line

earlier.

I got to get to the audience.

You brought a human in instead of a dog.

Yes, I did.

Is this easier?

It is much easier.

Good.

Maybe not.

Maybe a little bit.

A little bit.

A little bit.

A little bit.

A little bit.

Give it time.

But Judy, would you mind telling us what you do with the Humane Society and your involvement

with them?

Well, I started volunteering for the Humane Society about four years ago.

So I come in in the mornings and help the dogs get fed.

Get them all out so we can get their kennels cleaned.

We'll take them for walks in the nicer weather.

The winter is kind of challenging because we can't leave them out long and we've got to

get their kennels cleaned.

So it's in and out as quick as we can get them.

Yeah, we don't like them outside too long this time of year.

So it really helps having the volunteers being able to do these things, get the dogs the

exercise, let them do their business, all of those things.

We've got some wimpy dogs right now, as far as the cold feet.

They don't like it.

Oh, yeah.

Completely relatable, too.

And we'll get to some of the needs over at the Humane Society and a bit and everything.

But Judy, part of the reason I imagine that you're in today, too, is we want to encourage

not only more involvement with our community, but remind the community that the people that

are involved are community members and part of this community, like everybody else, they're

your neighbors, they're the people you see at the grocery store, all of this.

It just speaks to how not only connected we all are, but how anybody can be doing these

jobs.

And we really could use all hands on deck when it comes to weekends, like coming up here

and everything.

Agreed.

We love our volunteers, walk in the dogs, they get to know the dogs, and don't know if

you're pet owner, but it's just good for your mental health and your day.

I'm glad you brought that up, because I think a lot of times with volunteering, we don't

necessarily get to focus on the positives of it.

We are encouraging people to do it and the things we could use them to volunteer about.

But it's something I actually, and I've worked at a handful of, you made societies and

shelters in my life, and I got, I didn't grow up with animals, so it was something that

I really grew into and fell in love with.

But it was actually doing meals on wheels that really showed me this, that showed me how

rewarding volunteering is and what it means to do it.

And I swear to this day, there was two homes that I delivered meals to.

I'm almost positive.

I got more good mental help out of it, and my soul got filled more from it than those

individuals did.

They were getting the meals, but I was getting the nutrition.

It's a little addicted, isn't it?

It is too, yes, that too.

That's a great point, yes.

That feeling, you want everyone to feel that, it feels so good, deep down when you're

helping a human being or an animal, it just, yeah.

The closest comparison I have is it's like laughter, like it is contagious.

It is something in a good kind of thing, where it really is something that you are going

to feel good in the soul about.

I always like to encourage younger people, our retired community, all of the above to

really look into this and see what you can do.

And keep in mind, too, that this isn't a shift you're clocking in for, your work, you

know, this, or it's, it's volunteerism, and it truly is that.

They will work with you on this, whatever hours you're available, right, Denise?

Absolutely.

And if it's for 15 minutes, if you want to stop by and volunteer time, or two, three

hours, whatever you're available to do, or whatever you're wishing to do, we can put,

we can put you to work and find stuff for you to do, that's fulfilling from cats to dogs

to laundry, rabbits.

Yes, yes, yes.

You got rabbits.

I love to mention to the rap, it's kind of mentioned though.

And Judy, if you don't mind me mentioning as well, you're a board member, right?

I am.

Yeah.

We're always also looking for people to be on boards, whether it's with the human society

or any of our nonprofits or any organizations out there.

Again, something that I did not realize, I never thought of myself as somebody who would

be on a board.

I never, I didn't think that for one, anybody would ask me, let alone that I had anything

to offer to a board.

You would.

But, well, thankfully, somebody else saw that too, because Sue and Deb over at the Wisconsin

rabbits family center saw that, and they saw how passionate they was about that cause.

And I've been on their board for a couple of years.

And again, it's some of the most rewarding stuff I've ever done in my life.

Thank you.

And there's so much to do.

Yeah, yeah.

And it's something that I am incredibly busy.

I've got two, three different jobs.

I'm always going to auditions, doing all these things.

I got a family as in my kids and stuff.

And I want to spend time with them.

I still have plenty of time for the board.

I still really do because they don't ask a lot from me.

Most of our boards are like that.

There's not a huge time commitment.

It doesn't take that much out of your day.

It adds to your day.

It adds to your soul.

True.

Agreed.

One hundred percent.

There's a few things that can do that, like being on a board.

I feel like our board, everyone's got their little area of expertise, and it all blends

together.

Yeah.

And the best way that these things work, a community, any of these things, is having multiple

different people with different thought processes and different experiences in life that they

can bring to a board and really encompass all of that.

Exactly.

We always like to have that, and we look for that in our boards going forward.

So anybody out there listening, encourage you to, you know, be a part of a board, join

a board, and certainly help out at the Humane Society any bit that you can.

When it comes to things that you can do over at the Humane Society Denise, what are some

of the bigger needs right now over there?

The bigger needs pretty much are volunteers to help with cat room.

We're kind of down a few people.

We just had an influx of cats coming in, a bunch of little ones and some adults.

So we need help with cat room, socializing cats, even if you love cats and you're not

really sure what you want to do, you can come in and spend time with the cats.

That's our biggest need right now.

Of course, we always need, you know, detergent, cat litter, dog food, cat food, things like

that.

And, you know, the biggest, most profitable thing is time.

People, not profitable, valuable thing is time.

So if you can afford to give any time at all, we're very appreciative of that.

You can go online on our website and you can fill out the volunteer application.

I believe there's a board application there somewhere too.

And also a foster.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Bosters are dear to us.

Yeah.

Especially when it gets pretty busy over there and a capacity can happen pretty overnight.

Yep.

Absolutely.

And we're pretty close with dogs right now and getting close with cats as well.

So we're getting involved.

But they're rolling out the door.

We have wonderful people supporting us and we're very grateful.

I like to, that drag things out, but I like to make the audience wait some time for one

of their favorite parts.

Everybody looks forward to the pet of the week.

Denise, let's not make them wait any longer.

Who is our pet of the week?

Oh, wait, you know, one more thing.

Non-joking.

No, no.

Who is the pet of the week today?

I've got a cat in mind today named Woody.

He's been there a short amount of time.

He does have a respiratory, respiratory issue that requires him to be, have medication,

but it's nothing other than that that requires.

We call him a special needs cat, but it's just medication.

It's not, you know, expensive surgeries that he requires, but he's been there a while.

He's, I'm going to say middle age.

He's white cat with gray spots.

Very loving and sweet.

He's not loud or boy stress like some of our other assassacities, but Woody's in need

of a loving family.

So if you're interested, come on down.

Yeah.

Woody is a, sounds like a fantastic cat, a very sweet one too.

And one of those, a beautiful coat, by the way, a very good looking cat.

He's pretty, yes.

That's a good looking cat.

Encouraging to find out about Woody and so many of the great animals over there.

Not only the ones that we mentioned in highlight, but certainly there are all kinds of, we

only scratch the surface of not only the needs of our human society and the good that they

do in our community, but certainly the animals, when we talk about them, I could spend

literally the two hours we have on the air here talking about every single one of these

animals.

And I don't think the audience mind too much.

There are so many great ones on there, encourage you to find out more about these animals

about not, not, not only how you can impact the human society, but how the human society

impacts you and adds to our lives of our community so very much, which is why we appreciate

the time and a day like this you coming in you guys.

Thank you so much for doing that.

You can always call in, appreciate that you just stop and though.

Thank you for that.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It leads to a stronger segment and appreciate that effort, that going above and beyond.

That's something that the members of our community and society do all the time.

Keep up the great work you guys.

Thank you again for the time Denise.

Thank you for the shirt, by the way.

I love this one.

Anytime.

Thank you so much for having us and all the great support you do for all the nonprofits

around here.

We appreciate it.

We're looking forward to hanging out with you again next week.

And do want to send a quick reminder to any businesses out there.

We are always looking for sponsors for this segment, one of the better things you could

do for your business, PR 101, marketing 101, attach yourself to a great nonprofit.

It always adds.

You don't want to believe me, go ahead and talk to any business out there, they will tell

you the same.

I encourage you to do so.

Give our front desk a call 424-1300 and be a part of the team and sponsor the segment.

And reach out to our humane society anytime.

You can email them officeatswchs.com, officeatswchs.com.

Again, Denise Judy, thanks for being here.

Appreciate the time.

Thanks James.

You guys have a great day.

Seth and I will be back with more morning show coming up on right here at WFHR.

Welcome back everybody.

Morning show at WFHR.

Seth and James back with you.

Thanks so much for joining us.

We're going to dive into some entertainment news in a moment.

Big shout out to our friends over at the South of County Main Society, Denise Judy for

joining us.

Yeah.

As well as featuring Woody.

Woody the cat.

Woody the cat.

Pet of the week.

Check out those and many, many more of our friends over at swchs.com and be listening

next Thursday for another pet of the week.

Yeah.

And what it get into this entertainment news and we're going to start with the news and

notes about the California wildfires going on, the L.A. wildfires.

Leading out of the cabrio is giving a million dollars, which will go to various charities.

He is also one of those people that makes darn sure every penny of that does go to charities.

That's good.

There's one of the first celebrities that really got in on this back in like before Katrina.

Like, so I can't remember what I believe it was there was a devastation.

There was devastating.

Nothing happened in Haiti right before Katrina, and it was around that time that I first

heard about celebrities like a lot of celebrities like to give, but they just give or they have

an assistant doing, hey, give to this and the assistant takes the ball, but they don't

always look into.

They traditionally used to not look into these things.

Now, basically, every celebrity almost has a person lined up to look into this particular

charity and make sure, hey, is every penny going to this or where it is?

That makes sense.

Part of this is good for the good of it and everything and part of it is PR because you

don't want to associate yourself with a bad charity, right?

Right.

Exactly.

It's a survival thing as much as it is a good thing.

And I think that's fair.

Yeah.

I think that's fair to look at both sides.

I totally agree.

Yeah.

When you see a name like his giving and almost any name nowadays, but especially a name like

his giving to things, I'm not a big Leo guy or anything like that.

I just, I admire that and I think it's incredibly smart.

Yeah, it is.

The Eagles, the rock band, not the NFL team, are donating 2.5 million to the upcoming

Fire Aid Benefit Concert.

Okay.

2.5 million.

That's a lot.

Dave Grohl spent his 56th birthday making chili for firefighters and victims.

Wow.

Good on you, Dave.

YouTube and Google are pitching in 15 mil.

Okay.

It actually seems small to me considering how much money I agree.

But I mean, yeah, I admit that I'm talking about other people's money.

Yeah.

But I'm talking about companies.

Look, it's one thing if you're a celebrity and especially a successful one likely in

order to Caprio to donate, you know, certain amount of money.

That's cool.

But when you're a corporation as big as Google, you know, come on, come on.

If you guys have like your swimming and money, don't give me that, you know, I should,

I should be honest here too, though, I don't know if there was a number they were going

to say that was good.

I wouldn't have said that.

That's true.

I have to be honest.

I have to be honest.

Considering.

Considering.

Yeah.

If it was in the 50 range, then I might not.

Then?

That would be something.

And they could afford it.

They could afford it and they wouldn't even notice.

No, wouldn't even notice.

A charity collecting clothing for fire victims says it quote, the most incredible amount of

stuff, the huge amount of donations from Jennifer Lopez.

Really?

Donated a ton of clothing and some things like that.

Very cool.

With a celebrity like her, old clothing is she wore at once, you know, and she'd be the

first one to admit that.

Yeah.

She'd be the first to say that.

Yeah.

Meghan Markle donated clothing and beauty products as well to teen girls.

That may not, the teen, the beauty products may not seem like a big deal to some, but it's

a big deal to those kids, it's a big deal to them.

State Farm California's largest insurer has canceled a planned Super Bowl ad and instead,

I believe they're donating the money to Arnold Schwarzenegger's charity.

So there you go.

All right.

Yeah.

And there's a couple of others out there too, of people doing good.

And then there was this, and make of this what you will.

Okay.

Lots of celebrities have been seen in out in public helping victims of the LA wildfires.

Also a lot of celebrities have been seen being victims of the wildfires.

That's true.

And Kelly Osborne has a message for them go home.

She posted a video saying, quote, isn't me being my usual cynical self or is it really

disgusting seeing these celebrities using others?

People's pains and suffering as a photo op to say, I'm helping, I'm doing this, I'm doing

good.

Quote, I don't believe you.

You should help them because you get, you're just helping them to get attention.

I believe you help because you want, don't, you don't want to.

I'm so confused.

I think it's so wrong.

No one asked you to come out and give hugs, go home.

Now, this is easy to say from your home, and I'll say this, name me any celebrity name.

I don't care who it is, Mel Gibson, you can say, is out there doing this for good PR.

I just mentioned Dave Grohl.

The last time Dave Grohl name came up, it was because he cheated on his wife.

So is Dave Grohl doing this, celebrating his 56th birthday out there handing out chili

to people in need, strictly for the PR of it.

Maybe.

I don't know what's in Dave Grohl's head.

I don't know the conversation that he's had with his agents or anything like that.

That's right.

And I don't care.

Is he doing it?

He's out there doing it.

You're not out there, Kelly Osborne.

I'm like, who cares?

Yeah.

I don't care.

I don't care if they're out there and Dave Grohl is literally playing Foo Fighters

music while he's doing this and trying to get people to buy CDs.

I don't care.

He's out there doing good.

That's what matters.

Whatever PR comes of it or whatever is what it is.

Do you think how unintelligent does Kelly Osborne think human beings are?

Yeah.

Do you think we don't see this?

Do you think you're seeing something and you have some insight that we don't have

to this or anything?

So what is he supposed to do?

Like where I fake mustache, you know, it makes people don't recognize who he is.

Oh, I love that.

I mean, because yeah, it doesn't matter even if they're going for completely altruistic

reasons.

Yeah.

They recognize them and people are still going to say, oh, they did it for PR.

So what are you going to do?

Just not do it.

I mean, yeah, that's a fallacy.

That's an argument that just doesn't hold any water.

It really doesn't work.

Say leading out of the Capitol came out today and said, you know that $15 million that $15

million that I'm donating or whatever?

I did it strictly to talk to you.

I did it strictly so you would talk about me.

So I would be out there.

I haven't had a new movie out in a while.

I got to get my name out there.

If he said that in an interview, I still wouldn't care.

He still gave a million dollars.

I guess what?

He still gave a million dollars to think the families that are getting this money, the

families that are being benefited from this are sitting there like, boy, I don't want this

money.

It was even made for PR.

Get out of here with that.

What a place of entitlement to sitting in, you can sit there on your high horse and

say, well, look at, looking down on people, how, who are you?

And I would say this about any celebrity that said this, anybody that said this, like

who are you to be for one, to think you know what's in people's heads and hearts?

And for two, to not be in a situation where you need this help.

And so for you, it's very easy to say, well, they shouldn't be doing this or how dare they

do this or point your finger or any of that.

Right.

What are you doing?

Yeah.

What are you doing to help?

Well, I mean, so going back to Leonardo DiCaprio, he gave us a million dollars.

So he could do it anonymously and say, you know, like an anonymous donor gave one million

dollars to you.

That's cool too.

If that's what he wants.

But it could be one of those things where like, hey, we find out Leo's given a million,

oh, wow, maybe I should give a little bit of money, right?

Exactly.

You know, exactly.

It could have that effect too.

We don't know.

For better or worse, people don't talk about that part of it nearly enough when these

things come up.

And we do have to question, are they doing it for the PR or are they doing it for the

good?

For one, that's the job, man.

That's the job.

Like you have to stay relevant.

You have to stay out there.

People go to see movies nine times out of 10 or eight times out of 10 because they see

an actor they like or they know the actor or something like that.

100%.

That is how you stay relevant.

Right.

This is part of the job.

But doing these things, whether anonymous or not, doesn't take away from the fact that

it's still done.

Exactly.

It's done.

It's still done.

It's still done.

The work is still getting done.

And that's the important part.

And I may have less issue with this if we actually saw her doing something.

We actually knew she was doing stuff.

It's almost, it's almost like, well, I'm going to do this instead of doing something like

she's trying to cover that.

I don't know.

And to your strong point, Seth, when I see, if I'm a celebrity and I see somebody else

doing something, hopefully that encourages me to do it, or maybe it says, hey, they're

doing something.

I'm going to do something too.

I don't care.

They're getting it.

Don't care.

It's encouraging others to do stuff.

Yeah.

It's a recognizable name encouraging people to do things.

And one thing that it doesn't, like Kelly Osborne is not going to start a whole fleet

of people, a bunch of celebrities doing this, is that the hope that you get a bunch of

other celebrities really showing you and agree with you that they shouldn't be doing

anything?

There's one phrase she said in there that I think sums it up.

I'm so confused because I think she's thinking one thing, but at the same time she's, I

don't know.

And this is such what you don't do is go on social media and do something like this

because it's going to come back and bite you.

Just because you think it doesn't mean everybody needs to hear it or everybody cares.

Exactly.

Timothy Chalamet needs to do a better job of parking his bike.

Imagine being eco-friendly by riding a bike to your own movie premiere.

You're one of the biggest actors in the world and you're doing this because you are trying

to be environmentally conscious and all those things.

Very cool.

Timothy doesn't tend to go to these things with a date or anything or if he does it's

his mom that he brings or something like that.

In order to be trafficked in the Linda premiere and to be eco-conscious to the premiere

of a complete unknown to Timothy Chalamet wrote his bike.

Well, apparently he didn't park it correctly, so he got fined 73 bucks.

And I got to let everybody know too.

This is one of the, I think, one of the more cooler looking human beings on the planet.

This kid has a good style to him and everything and I think he has a very cool look.

This bike is not that.

It's the opposite of cool.

This has to be the most uncool bike I may have ever seen.

It's right up there with Peewee's bike and Peewee's big adventure.

It's up there with that.

Oh, wow.

It looks a little like that to me in some ways too.

Man, I honestly, I really hope that he just continues to let his freak flag fly, man.

I hope he never changes.

Just stay, stay you, Tim.

You're doing a great job.

I really do hope that he stays this way.

That fame and fortune doesn't ruin him.

Yes, 100%.

And I'm starting to think more and more that he's going to, he's got to get his speech

ready.

I'm looking at these awards, whether it's the Sack or the Oscar nominations for Best

Leading Actor.

And right now, I would say he's got the betting favorite.

He's got the inside lane on it.

Yeah.

Kid at that age.

And he's going to have an Oscar to his belt like that.

Love it.

Looking at what's news on your small screen tonight, Sirius, from Mayor of Hollywood Squares,

it features your Mary Morris center square and Nate Burleson is hosting.

Nate Burleson is basically doing whatever he wants at CBS right now.

And he has got just an open playbook of just go ahead.

He's such a, he's so natural and so charismatic.

I mean, it's a no brainer.

I like seeing these athletes being able to get a second.

There's no retirement plan in athletics, like no, there really isn't.

Law and order returns at seven o'clock.

Law and order SVU will follow it and to go on forever.

It really is.

And I love it.

I love that it will.

And just as much as I, the only thing I love a little bit more than that is the 55th

season premiere of Sesame Street on Max.

Wow.

55th season.

55 years.

Amazing.

But Jim Hansen had no clue when he started that show back in 1969.

And there's a premiere of the behind the scenes, a limited series, SNL 50, Beyond Saturday

Night on Peacock.

That is on tonight.

That's already on there right now.

Okay.

Okay.

Really got us curious.

The one thing that is going to bring me to that more than anything else, they're, you're

going to be seeing audition footage that has never been seen.

Wow.

Like Harvey or Chevy Chase or like the auditions that they, I'm getting goosebumps right

now.

I'm not even kidding.

Yeah.

Origin stories.

I cannot wait to see that.

That, that sounds really good.

And a movie that came out that didn't get a whole lot of hype, but is getting a lot of

critical claim and a lot of like people that I know are talking very highly of it.

The streaming premiere of a real pain on Hulu, Jesse Eisenberg wrote and directed this movie.

Karen Culkin plays his cousin.

They reunite for a Holocaust tour through Poland to honor their grandmother.

Wow.

Certainly some notes there that are important, but it's the dynamic between the two of them

that I think is very, if you've ever had a good friend, if your cousin has ever been

one of your good friends or like for me, my cousin Lisa is like a sister to me.

She's more of a sister than a cousin.

Right.

In fact, most of my cousins are that way.

Right.

I think that you can get into this one.

There's that part of it that pulls you into.

That's cool.

And Jesse Eisenberg is getting a lot of credit for his directing and writing in this.

Which is, I didn't see that coming with him.

No.

Not really didn't.

That's really cool that they gave him a chance though.

And we encourage you so strongly above anything else we have shared to make plans to check

out seven brides for seven brothers, the teen play, taking place in the Millen libraries

Fine Arts Center.

Yes.

That's right.

That's coming up tomorrow, I believe.

They got two shows for you tomorrow, two o'clock matinee and a seven o'clock show.

All right.

Very cool.

And make plans at MacmillanLibrary.com or dot org at MacmillanLibrary.org.

Be sure to check that out.

Keep in mind as well.

They've got some other fun things going on over there that they have their cool colors,

adult coloring club.

Oh, that's this morning.

Yeah.

It's coming up in a half an hour.

Yeah.

Get ready.

Head on over there from 10 to 11 and enjoy some adult coloring.

Relax.

Yeah.

That's going to be fun.

We'll have some fun when we come back after our news, sports and partner break.

We'll come back with rock albums in turn 50.

All right.

I'm ready.

I'm ready.

Coming up on the morning show at WFHR.

Welcome back, everybody.

Morning show at WFHR, locally grown radio.

Seth and James hanging out with you.

Hope you're having a fantastic Thursday out there.

I do have to play something really quick.

Last hour, we're playing a little bit of the meteorite sound of the first audio we

have of meteorite sound, which is pretty darn cool.

We actually had a couple of texts and messages from our listeners.

We had one of our listeners think that it'd be a good sounder for our stat of the show,

for playmakers.

That would be good.

Kevin mentioned that watching the video and it's amazing how it just hit behind the

wall in the concrete of it.

Seth and I were known a little bit of that too.

But there was something else that I couldn't put my finger on it and I finally caught it

in the commercial break and it is this.

Long time wrestling fans will know that that is the intro music for Stone Cold Steve

Austin.

Let me just play this one more time real quick.

Just the intro.

Yep.

It's the breaking of the glass and then listen to it's similar in my head it's almost

playing over and over again.

It's like when you get a song stuck in your head sound you got stuck in your head.

That's interesting.

I went from this morning I went from having some Miles Davis in my head to having Ethel

Merman.

No business.

No business.

To now just that just the audio of those playing over and over again in my loop a loop

game.

Oh man.

Maybe this next segment will help get that earwrap out of your head if you have one.

Yeah.

Because we're talking music and we're talking older music.

1975 was a pretty eventful year Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Paul Michael Paul Gates

and Bill Gates and Paul Allen founded Microsoft.

Wow.

And the music loudwire.com put out to you put a list of rock albums that turned half

a century this year and here are 20 of these soon to be 50 year old albums.

They are not in any particular order so we're going to kind of go through these.

Okay.

From CZ Top Dreamweaver from Gary Wright.

Oh God.

That one I actually would have thought I would have thought it might have been a little

older.

But born to run from Bruce Springsteen.

Oh that's right.

The ear he exploded basically.

Yeah.

Wow.

That's a pretty interesting.

50 years ago.

Magnus.

If I want my father to ever speak to me again I have to remember mention Richie Blackmore's

rainbow.

Mm hmm.

And my dad.

Do you think that nobody had ever heard of Richie Blackmore to wait my dad talks about

to me.

You got to hear this.

Nobody talks about it.

And he's been a very successful guitarist.

I feel like people know Richie Blackmore's knighted the opera from Queen.

Oh that's a classic one.

Yes.

Absolutely.

Wish you were here from Pink Floyd.

Oh my gosh.

What an iconic album cover.

Oh one of the greatest of all time.

So classic.

Yeah.

Top 10.

The guy on fire.

I mean it's one of those things where you do a double take when you first see it's

like, wait a minute.

It's fire.

It's so good.

Yeah.

It's so good.

I think it tells a story that you know a good picture like a good album cover and tell

you a story.

And that is also by the way that is their love letter to their one of their founders.

And his name is escaping me right now.

Sid Barrett who kind of had some issues with some mental illness and some drug stuff and

he had to leave the band.

So that was kind of wish you were here kind of thing.

So yeah.

Very few bands whether they realize it or not were ahead of the game on mental health

like Pink Floyd.

Interestingly enough.

Weirdly enough.

Weirdly enough.

Not intentional necessarily.

But through the storytelling of the band, the band's story really there are origins and

stuff.

Whether it's wish you were here or the wall or any of these things.

There's a lot of mental health conversation in Pink Floyd music.

Yes.

Very interesting.

I get in trouble.

Every time I do this, especially with my family members, there is no band more universal

in my family than Led Zeppelin.

And I will continue to die on this hill.

My favorite Led Zeppelin album and I think the best one is physical graffiti.

That is turning 50 this year.

You may.

I'm trying to think of Led Zeppelin fans in general, which is, you know, there's a very

hardcore lot, right, of Zeppelin fans out there of all ages.

It's kind of a universal band.

There's not a lot of people I think that would agree with you on that one.

I'm no stake in this game, but I think that's interesting.

There is, to me, it's just the most unique Zeppelin one also still being Zeppelin.

Yeah.

And the light, there are certain songs on there that are game changers.

And it's really their last real like effort.

Real album, right?

Yeah.

And it was, they were really stretching at that point, you know, trying to find something

new.

And that's why a lot of people didn't like it because they kind of got away from some

of the, you know, what made them famous kind of stuff.

Alive from Kiss turns 50.

Man.

Man.

That is something.

Oh, man.

Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirk Cowboy from Elton John.

That's a good one.

Classic album from him, yep.

Frampton from Peter Frampton.

I was expecting Frampton coming from the live, but I think that was earlier.

But yes, Fleetwood Macs, self title album Fleetwood Mac.

That was the band's 10th album, but the first with Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham.

That was their rebirth after back in the day when Denny Lane, I believe, no, no, Peter

Greene.

Peter Greene started Fleetwood Mac.

The only thing that stayed the same is their namesakes, the drummer and the bassist,

you know, Mick Fleetwood and John McVee, which was strictly so they could keep the name

Fleetwood Mac.

Yeah, no, I'm joking, I'm joking, I'm joking, but incredible band.

Face the music from ELO.

One of these nights from the Eagles.

Okay.

And welcome to my nightmare from Alice Cooper.

That was 75, huh?

I didn't realize that was 75.

Wow.

I thought that was a late 70.

I thought that was later than that.

Yeah.

Interesting.

Young Americans from David Bowie.

That's a good one.

Classic Soul.

Mm-hmm.

Sabotage from Black Sabbath.

Straight shooter from Bad Company.

Wow.

We as a band, I've heard it like that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Nobody.

There were a couple of tapes that my dad played over and over again.

That bad company one was one of them, man.

And the top two are maybe they're going to be like, oh, yeah, of course, but they're still

interesting.

Toys in the attic from Errol Smith.

Okay.

That was their big breakout, if I remember correctly.

Dream on.

Yeah.

Sweet emotion, I think, is on there as well.

And TNT from ACDC.

Oh, geez.

Wow.

That was the original iteration of ACDC with Bon Scott as their lead singer.

And interesting that you listened to that and then you listened to maybe money talks

on one of their Thunderstruck or something, the later songs, and just virtually the same.

Like, it's impressive when they were able to do.

For every band that tries to be so different and try different things like we were saying

was Zeppelin.

Yeah.

You know, famously, or at least I mentioned all the time, the Beatles going from out of

course.

Yeah.

It's something to be said for not only, you know, string relevant for four decades.

Amazingly relevant, yeah.

And having your music still played in stadiums and all these things.

But it's basically the same.

I mean, I'm not casting as persons on their songwriting.

It's just they found something they really enjoyed and were really good at and they just

kind of went with it.

But I mean, there's variety in their music, of course.

There's still variety in this.

It's not the same song over and over again.

It's the same kind of, I guess, for lack of a better term vibe that's through all their

stuff.

And while also being just as much of a showman as great as a showman as he was, just as

great of a guitar player, Angus Young, who is a pretty well-known name and still underrated.

Yes.

Like, because I don't think that he ever in that band got to show what he could really

do.

Yeah.

Let's go ahead and take a call.

Good morning, you're on the air.

Wow.

He has three years old when a lot of these albums came out.

Yeah.

And the thing is, though, I didn't really start listening to music.

I was telling a little older, those, most of those albums that you read off were popular

still.

Mm-hmm.

Even probably seven years later, I mean, wow, it's kind of funny when we, you know, we

talk about the albums that turned 50, you know, six packs and footnot in there, you know,

longs after 35 this year are turned 40 and just like you sit there and listen to music

tonight.

Wow.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

You know, we can't, I mean, you're still prevalent today, you know, always.

Yes.

It's like, yes, very well done, Joel.

I think it speaks to something that we talk about a lot and how we all take in music

and how we all start off with, you know, our parents or whoever our guardians are.

That's the door.

They open the door for us.

Yep.

So much of this music was stuff that our generation, our parents were listening to.

So for them, they were listening to this and we were listening to it too.

So it's really our music just as much in some ways.

Mm-hmm.

And this is going to make you feel old in a different way than it does them.

Exactly.

But it's still, it's a great point, Kev, because this stuff was just as relevant by the

time we were able to understand what music was and stuff.

And I think, I didn't, of all those bands I mentioned, I guarantee that there was a handful

of those that have our generation.

We still listen to.

Absolutely.

Right.

I mean, there's at least five or six bands in there that I've got in my playlist right

now that I listen to and everything.

So it's pretty cool to think of.

And it's also interesting how we go away from this stuff, like maybe in your teen years,

you push back a little bit.

Yeah, right.

And you don't listen to it as much.

And then you kind of come back to it as you get older.

You do.

Oh, 100% agree with you.

Oh, yeah.

If it wasn't one of those bands or albums, it's the one that stands out to you that wasn't

mentioned.

And it doesn't have to be 50 years old.

It's just something that you think of when this kind of conversation comes up for you

of Kev or you, Seth, is there one that comes up?

Oh, gosh.

Oh, I mean, that's hard.

I mean, I'm thinking of an obscure one.

And mainly, I'm thinking of it because Seth, you've brought it up with your parents before

but the Moody Blues is one of the first bands I think of.

I never really sought out their music myself, but my parents played it so much.

I know all the Moody Blues songs.

Right.

So I'm guessing they had one that came out in 75.

I'm just not sure which one it was.

We'd have to look that one up.

But yes, that would make my list, yeah.

We mentioned before, bad company, but all of those bands, the bad company, the foreigner,

there's another one that was in there.

Well, what was Rand Funk doing in 75?

Yeah, they were around.

I mean, what did they?

Yeah, stuff like that.

Like the bands that aren't necessarily household names, but you remember them as soon as

you hear them.

Yeah, like that kind of.

Right.

Yeah, I mean, that's the current kind of where I'm at, you know, if I heard their music

and then, you know, all of a sudden, you say that was off 50 years ago, and I'm like,

really?

You know, she was like only yesterday.

I guess if you listen to those on TikTok, and, you know, they do the, like, the 45 or

I guess the 30 or whatever, and then I was like, wow, that was that long ago.

You know, and it's just like, man, I am guess I am getting old.

But you know, like you said, you know, you pass it down.

I mean, my oldest son, he listens to a lot of the 80s rock that I listen to.

And some of the 70s and stuff, and he knows those songs, and I look at them, I'm like,

what?

You know, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's just another obscure, sort of obscure, but one that I wouldn't have thought of right

away until we were talking about this.

But the guess who is another one of those bands.

Oh my gosh.

Yeah.

The who?

We all know.

But guess who?

Oh, my dad.

Oh, my dad.

Right away.

My dad, a big fan too.

Yes, my dad love.

Guess who, yeah.

It might be wrong, but it might be, it might have been later 70s, wasn't that flippered

kind of coming into that.

Eight, 79 was, I think they released their first album of an 83, so they probably would have

been around in the late 70s.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think photograph was, I know photograph was like 80, 81 or something like that.

Which means it was probably like 83, but I know it's always a couple years off.

I've always a couple years off.

There's a reason I don't teach history class.

There's a reason.

Cap, we appreciate you safe travels out there.

Stay one.

We'll talk soon.

All right, guys.

Have a great day.

You too.

You too.

You too.

Seth and I will be back with a bunch of good things going on in their area.

Good stories of the day.

Nothing but good coming up on the morning show.

Seth and James here with you, everybody.

Thank you so much for joining us.

One more segment for the day.

We're going to get in here.

We'll get into our schedule and some good stories of the day in a moment.

But we have breaking news that we have to share with you and heartbreaking news.

Yeah.

And this comes from the Milwaukee Brewer's website.

We are heartbroken that to announce that Brewer's icon in baseball Hall of Famer, Bob

Euker has passed away at the age of 90.

Just on the Mount Rush more of Wisconsin sports of Wisconsin people you may say.

I loved Bob Euker, like many of you out there.

Absolutely.

I'm looking at his bobble head right now.

It hurts.

But I would say that Bob would be one of the first to tell you the show must go on and

whether that means that you're on the air or you are just living your day to day lives.

You know, as sad as that news is, absolutely.

I can't help already but thinking about how much joy he brought to so many people with

his humor, with all the baseball games that he broadcast throughout his career, the acting

he did, I can't help but smile.

And I think of Bob Euker, he's just, he brought a lot of joy.

I can tell you right now, as soon as I have the chance, I am going back and I'm listening,

I am watching a bunch of clips of his from Mr. Belvedere and Major League.

I'm going to go back and find as many interviews with him because God, if you never saw

Bob Euker on the tonight show, look up Bob Euker on the tonight show with Johnny Carson.

It's one of the greatest interviews you've ever seen in your life and part of what we

loved about this man, the charm, the genuineness, the originality.

There is literally nothing like Bob Euker.

We got the opportunity as kids to hear Vin Scully and Bob Euker, man.

You may not find better voices than that in baseball history.

I'm telling you, remember he was kind of a joke when he first started doing it calling

himself Mr. Baseball.

He was Mr. Baseball.

Go up and listen to any conversation Bob Euker has about Bob Gibson, anything, anything.

It's some of the greatest stuff I've ever heard.

Shocking to remember he played with Bob Gibson and how much Bob Gibson loved him.

Yes.

I love to Bob Euker.

Part of the reason Bob Euker started cheering stories was because Bob Gibson said, how come

you never talking about us?

That's awesome.

Think of Bob Gibson doing like just what a life, what a legend and not only will be missed

and we're thinking of his friends and family, but we're thinking of you out there.

We know you're fancy.

You're part of it.

The whole state of Wisconsin is part of his family.

I think one of the best ways to honor this man is to get excited about baseball, get excited

about the Brewer's disease and be supportive of that team.

I think this coming into this year we're all going to be brewer fans.

I think so.

There is no segway.

There is no way to move on from something like that when you lose an icon like that.

We do want to know, we're feeling with you this one out there.

Let's get into some good stories of the day Seth.
