SMOKED SALMON (Hour 1)

Good morning, Wisconsin. Good morning, world. It's a new day. Thanks for kicking it off with us at WFHR. Sing it better, Marvin.

Can't hear myself in my headphones. Oh, no, throw me off. Throw me off.

Let's start to come in now. I think I need a different set of headphones over here.

Good morning, everybody. Hope you're having a great start to your week.

Thanks for kicking it off with us. Have your host, James here.

Join by our head of news. Our co-host, Melissa K.

Good morning.

Head of production and co-host, Seth Habhacker.

Good morning.

And let me double check.

Yep, best listeners and radio.

All of you guys out there. Thanks so much for joining us, everybody.

We are here to have some fun over the next couple of hours.

We're going to get into our LKF Abertane anniversary club in just a little bit.

We've got some other fun stories lined up for you that we will be diving into.

Let's see here. How long it's science says it takes to actually form a habit.

We've got that one lined up for you.

Beginning into that.

Got some entertainment news for you as well.

We will be getting into, including famous albums that were banned by Walmart.

I always made the news too, but whether or not Walmart would ban an album back in the day.

I remember a lot of you said the list and I remember a lot of those happening.

We say goodbye to a local legend, Wisconsin, what legend, and what every day's skill

becomes suspicious if you're good at it.

Why are you so good at it?

We'll get into all of that.

It's a Monday, of course.

That means in a then-a-clock hour we'll have the kitchens open for you all lined up.

All of this and just between you and I, okay, just between the three of us.

Probably going to give away some tickets today.

That's yeah, but don't tell them listeners.

I want to be surprised at the listeners.

So just keep them in the room.

It's weird, it's weird, yeah.

Thank you.

We kicked the show off though.

Well, we just a quick note.

We've talked about this over the years and Carl and I used to get a real kick out of this.

We've got a handful of listeners in the Florida area.

We have our friend over in Alaska, at least a couple of people in Alaska.

Got people around the country that listen to us.

And in a lot of our areas, it tends to be a lot warmer.

And these wonderful individuals are now dealing with something that they are not used to in snow.

Yes.

Indeed they are.

Because we are.

Because we are set in my aunt Debbie, who is a proud Chicagoan and everything.

She and her husband moved the Florida while back.

We got pictures over the weekend of their palm trees with like just a couple of inches on it.

Her doing the whole thermometer thing with the tape measure of how much snow.

Oh, no one ever says.

So I thought that hey, this is our wheelhouse guys.

This is something we can help with.

So when our other listeners and our warmer climate listeners are listening,

I think every once in a while throwing out tips.

Throwing out tips.

That's a bad idea.

Help them out throughout all of this and everything.

You know, because they're going to need it.

They're going to need it.

Right, yeah, like snowblowers.

Seth and I have a business idea.

We're going to get a plow.

Just one snow plow.

Drive down to Florida.

Threaten people.

No, I mean, persuade people to use our service.

We will do your driveway for 500 bucks.

Well, I mean, they got no snow plows over there.

Supply the man, right?

Supply the man.

So I went.

Distortion.

I think.

Oh, yeah.

Just admit that I love it.

Why should politicians be the only ones to get away with it?

And they will come.

Nice.

I do think also it's.

It'd be fun for the listener.

So the listeners feel.

Please feel free to chime in with it.

It was things.

715-424-2600.

Keep in mind, we are a PG-30 Joe.

Yeah, that's right.

And with that said, I didn't want to start here.

Anybody got a case of the Mondays?

Anybody got a case of the month?

No, I'm really thirsty.

I was asking does anybody have a case of the Mondays?

A case of the Mondays.

A case of the Mondays.

A case of the Mondays.

A case of the Mondays.

Do you know that was a drink?

It is now.

It should be, right?

There should be a beer just called the case of the Mondays.

Yeah, Mondays.

Yeah, just a beer called the Mondays.

Exactly.

Yeah, there should be that.

I mean, there's a bar called the library.

Come on.

Yeah, that's true, that's true.

There's like 20 bars called work.

Yeah, you know what I'm going to work.

Yeah, you know what I'm going to work.

Yeah, you know what I'm going to work.

Coors like got made fun of this week for an ad

with an obvious misspelling.

It was in print ads and on a big screen in Times Square.

It said, mountain cold refreshment,

but they spelled it refreshment.

And now it looks like the whole thing

was a clever marketing stunt.

Oh boy.

They just announced that they're temporarily changing

their name to Monday's light.

So people can go out and buy a case of the Mondays.

Nice.

There is a photo to go along with it.

Oh, yeah, Monday's light.

Yeah, and the same script as Coors,

you know, everything looks basically the same

except it's called Mondays, you know.

The refreshment.

They're press release kept up the claim

that the typo was a mistake,

but they had a whole ad campaign locked and loaded.

They even did a poll that found 41% of people think

that the Monday after the Super Bowl is one

of the worst days of the year.

They're selling 12 packs a Monday's light nationwide

for a limited time.

You can also win some by posting a photo

of their ad runs during the Super Bowl.

There you go.

Everything's a marketing campaign.

Yeah, I like it.

I got a little credit for this one.

This clever.

I'll give it a cleverness.

Yeah, yeah.

I need you.

I think they should work out their flavor more

than that marketing.

Oh, Coors light.

Yeah.

I don't know many beers to take more shots than Coors light.

I don't think there are many that do.

If you've ever had what Coors light in your life,

I mean, it's pretty obvious.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

I don't think that even like red, white, blue,

or like, all right, slots or like any of those.

Schlitz and Blaster, you know.

Blaster was the one I was thinking of.

Even the Locky.

Yeah.

They don't even take the shots that Coors light do.

No, it's kind of funny.

It's kind of funny.

I mean, you can try to do it with like,

Paps Blue Ribbon.

But even that, I mean, at least their can is cool, you know.

Yeah, yeah, right, right.

It's just lightly flavored water.

Basically, yeah, it really is.

It's, it's like, you would not surprise me

if the same people that make Coors light

are the same people that make skim milk.

Like, it's a couple.

And we all know how you feel about skim milk.

There is a group of people like, this is the real worry.

This is the real concern people.

This now, to be fair, if you if you want to drink all day long,

this is a good option because there's really not much in it.

It's true.

That's very true.

Yeah, I mean, we get to a certain point, man.

You're going to be like, you better be close to a bathroom

because they're going to need it.

But yeah, for everybody that likes Coors light,

more power to you, you know, you drink more of it

than I, than I don't have to.

Absolutely.

Yeah, like what you like.

But I think that they are missing a real marketing campaign

here of just being like, hey, are you getting enough water?

Are you getting enough?

Like, wouldn't you rather have more water?

Like, how about the beer that hydrates, right?

Yeah, there you go.

I mean, just lead it to it.

Just lean right into it and everything.

There you go.

I mean, with all the mashups of things nowadays and everything,

I see, I feel like this is just marketing what a one day should

just be dive right into that.

That seems like a really easy one.

I did want to touch on a couple of other ones too here.

We do have some food ones we're going to get into a little bit later.

But this one would seem a little interesting.

Cincinnati, we go to.

Did you, Ohio based ice cream brand graders just released their newest flavor,

Cincinnati chili flavored ice cream?

Skyline chili is an institution in and around Cincinnati.

Their chili on spaghetti is famous in Ohio

and infamous everywhere else.

Infamous, yeah.

They teamed up with graders for a new flavor called Skyline Spice

that's supposed to remind you of the chili without actually being chili.

They even put real oyster crackers in it.

Oh, wow.

A popular top in the ice cream?

In the ice cream, yes.

Crackers and ice cream, I don't know.

Oh, no, no, it's amazing.

Yeah.

Actually, think about graham crackers in.

That's true.

In like a, you know, with fudge and caramel.

I think I think most of the stuff.

The crunch in there is good.

Right.

But most of those are like sweet things,

you know, that you put in not just because oyster crackers are basically

flavorless.

Yeah.

You know, with a little stable salt.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah.

So they're just, they would add a crunch, but not much else.

And while we're adverse to a savory ice cream,

it's popular as like Japan.

Yeah.

Oh, yes.

The savory ice cream is huge.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yes.

A green tea ice cream.

Yeah.

Actually, it's quite good.

I've had it myself.

Or even, I think there's like an oyster ice cream.

They're probably a flavor.

There's, I mean, there's all sorts of savory ice cream flavors.

So I guess we shouldn't knock it till we try it.

Yes.

I had chili the other day, and it was so excited

because I got, this doesn't happen much to me,

where I get a full pack of crackers myself.

Oh, and they're not even open.

So I'm excited to sit down.

I got everything all set up.

I opened up the crackers and take a big bite.

Crackers are stale.

No, stale crackers.

Man, oh, there's, I just love stale crackers.

Oh, what are the, like, you don't expect much flavor

from crackers, but crackers as it is.

But don't be stale.

That's not like the one thing we ask of you, cracker.

You can, you can save them with chili.

You just crumble them into the chili.

Yeah, you can save it that way.

But other than that, yeah, that's kind of a bummer.

And, but it degraded chili a little bit.

I, and two of Melissa's point,

well, at least what she was mentioning

with other countries and everything,

that's starting to become more and more popular here,

with these ice creams having a little more space

or hot to them, or something.

And I see ice cream.

I guess we've got bored with ice cream,

but even ice cream has got boring to us.

When you said chili, I was thinking like, you know,

like chili powder.

Right.

Yeah, yeah.

The, the goulash chili soup stews thing.

That we made right here.

Yeah.

I would think like chili,

because they add chili to hot cocoa.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I would think like a chocolate ice cream

with a, with a chili.

That works.

That works.

And there would be kind of fantastic.

Yeah, I, there's a recipes.

I've made it myself of chocolate chili.

You put a chocolate in the chili, it works.

Yeah, it works.

Yeah, you had me a chocolate.

So it's second to chili.

Yeah.

We will take a quick break.

We'll come back.

We'll talk some more food with our friends, El Cafe.

That's coming up for you with the El Cafe Birthday

and Anniversary Club on the morning show at WFHR.

It is time to do some celebrating with our great friends

over at El Cafe.

We encourage you to treat yourself tomorrow.

When they open their doors, yep.

They'll be open tomorrow, everybody,

to head on over to the El Cafe tomorrow

when they open those doors.

You can go ahead and check out the menu now, though.

You can, go ahead.

Wow, yeah, Seth, give me a one through five.

Ah, four.

All right, gives us that number.

So we can get right into the celebrating.

We also want to wish a very happy birthday

Happy birthday, Phil.

Happy birthday, Phil.

Phil of the Southwood County Historical

Corporation and Museum.

We appreciate the work that Phil does,

one of my favorite people to talk to.

Great little historian.

Oh, man, hours and hours I can talk to Phil.

If you are looking for any information

about the history of Wisconsin Rapids,

encourage you to check it out.

But there is no future without the history.

And that's why we need to keep our,

you mean, our local historical side around.

We need more and more good people over there checking that out.

And, you know, volunteering from time to time.

Big, good morning to you, Phil.

We appreciate the work you do, sir.

And our qualifier today, Steven Pickett.

Happy birthday, Steven.

Steven, enjoy your day.

Hope it's a great one for you.

Congratulations.

Enjoy the day.

Hope it's a good one for you.

We take a look at our celebrity list.

Let's see here.

Ah, one of our, Hannah Tetter is 38.

Female snowboarding superstar.

She earned a gold medal for the US with her skills

in the half pipe and 06 winter Olympics.

Cool.

Picked up a silver medal in the half pipe in 2010.

I don't know if I'll ever forget her routine.

I didn't know who she was.

And I want to say 06 was some of the earlier years

for some of these winter sports.

So it was all locked into those.

And she just kind of came out of nowhere.

That's cool.

I love those stories.

And just a real quick side note.

Shout out to American tennis.

Madison Keys pulling off a win for the Australian Open

for the women this year.

Haven't had a lot of Americans win in tennis lately.

No, it's been a while.

It's been a while.

So shout out to her for that.

That's cool.

And happy birthday to one of our favorites.

I don't know if you're a fan or not, Melissa.

I know Seth and our huge fans of Patton Oswald.

He is 56 today.

All right.

Spence on King of Queens and narrated

the Goldberg principal dubbing on AP Bio.

Patton Oswald's been in a ton of stuff, acting wise.

But one of my favorite stand of comedians

and I know one of yours.

Yes, absolutely.

He's one of the smartest.

And he's his word play.

It's some of my favorite.

He's very good at that sort of thing.

Yeah, excellent.

I probably appreciate him more for his voice over work

that he has done in like Ratatouille

and the secret life of pets.

He's got other voice.

No, I'm not super.

I recognize him, but he's got a voice

that's very distinctive.

Yeah.

He was on A&E's and Native Indian.

I was in down Periscope.

That's where I recognize him.

Oh, there you go.

I forgot about him.

I love that movie.

Absolutely.

Great cast movie.

It does.

Oh, that had an amazing cast, that movie, yes.

That script didn't deserve that cast.

No, it did.

It wasn't great.

But oh, it was a great cast.

A great cast.

That fun movie.

It's a fun movie.

Yeah, he was on A&E's and Native Indian prom back in the day.

And I haven't just watched him ever since.

One of the smartest comedians I've ever seen.

And a great storyteller and completely predicted

almost half of the Star Wars stuff.

He's got a rant in Parks and Rex, where he goes up there

and he's filibustering.

Now, the writers, Amy Polar, all these people

have been friends with Patton Oswald for decades.

So they know him.

And they know who he's, this character is built for him.

And he's going to go up there and like, hey, Pat,

we need you to rant for a little bit about Star Wars.

Well, you know, whatever you want to do,

just go up there and say whatever you want to say.

So he goes up there and he starts basically

ranting about what he thinks should happen

in the Star Wars universe.

And a lot of it has happened.

A lot of it.

Were they secretly listening to him?

I don't know.

I don't know.

It's hilarious.

And I give him his royalties, man.

That's considered one of the highlights of the whole show.

His filibuster rant.

It's really cool.

It's great to see the actual cut of it.

The TV cut is great and everything.

But if you see just a straight up cut where they're laughing

and they can't believe it's still going

and it's going, he's going.

He actually filibuster, that's great.

Tracy Lawrence is 57, country star.

Very nice.

One of the most unique voices of all time,

Mike Patton is 57, genius and singer,

a songwriter from Faith No More, Mr. Bungle,

peaking so many other bands to him.

And as I know, I mentioned it before, but Mike Patton

also, he has like an album out where it's just two,

it's a double album and it's just him making

these weird noises.

And then this may not seem like a big deal,

but that helped him get like,

into voice work and movies and TV shows

where the movie I Am Legend with Will Smith,

he does all the voices of all the vampires.

Really?

All the voices of him.

Wow.

And he's kind of been one of his gigs since.

I don't plan him.

He's got an amazing vocal instrument, Mike Goodness.

Yeah, I mean, he can sing one and a half to two octaves.

Yes.

Oh my gosh.

And no, no, no, that's the average.

He has like, even more than that, six.

He can sing six octaves.

Wow.

Yeah, he's taking very good care of his voice too.

Thankfully, because man, he is something.

And I think one of the most underrated stars of the 90s,

like easily.

Alan Cumming is 16, Eli Gold and The Good Wife,

gutsy and smurfs, night crawler in the X-Men movies,

Dylan and Instinct.

And he is, I thought he was the host of that new show

that reality show, The Traders or whatever.

He's also the couple of shows, if I remember correctly.

He was the, or he, I don't know if he still is,

but he was also the host of that, yeah.

He's also the host of American.

What is it?

Oh, masterpiece theater mysteries.

Oh, that's who he was for a long time.

He was the host of that too, so.

He's a good actor.

He's a good actor and a very good host.

I love his accent.

Oh, he's got a chance.

I love it.

Great accent, great accent.

Bridget Fonda is 61, single white female,

like placid singles.

Just a bunch of stuff for him.

I always enjoyed her.

Good cook's the one.

That's hard to believe.

Yeah, well, it took me back a little bit.

Underrated role and underrated movie, City Hall.

Yes, he's very good in that one.

Thank you.

Yes, QSAC, Pacino.

Completely underrated movie, and especially in these times.

I would like to see that movie actually get a little more

popular with the times we're in right now.

Danny A.L.O.

Oh, Danny A.L.O.

Man, I love Danny.

That is a completely underrated movie.

That's a great one.

Mimi Rogers is 69 today.

She was in the Austin Powers movies X-Files.

She was agent Dina Fowley.

She was Tom Cruise's first wife as well.

Yes, that's right.

Let's see here.

Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason is 81 today.

Oh, wow.

They're all get so old.

Pink Floyd is so old.

One of the Hall of Fame great character actors of all time.

The wonderful, the incredibly tall James Cromwell is 85.

Love James Cromwell.

All six foot seven of them.

Yes.

American Horror Story.

Some of all fears.

The Green Mile, six feet under.

I mean, just a lot of great roles.

Of course, most people remember him as the farmer from Bay.

Bay.

That's right.

That'll do pig.

I don't know.

And of course, LA Confidential.

He plays a great role in that.

It's so, yes, another underrated movie.

LA Confidential.

Oh, come on.

And some people no longer with us.

Like John Witherspoon, one of the funniest people

you'll ever see.

Born in 1942, he was pops in the Wayne's Brothers.

He was granddad in the Boondocks.

He was Mr. Jones in the Friday movies.

But he put some water in that.

He's so funny in that movie.

God, I love John Witherspoon.

Oh, man.

Man, just like one of those go-to things for me

if I need a laugh.

It's just like looking up John Witherspoon highlights.

Just if you can't laugh at those,

I don't know if we can be in the same room together.

There's something about, I'm not saying

that everything he did was funny.

But 90% of the best stuff is hilarious, yeah.

Him as the granddad on the Boondocks is underrated.

It's so good, it's so good.

Donna Reed, born in this day,

Mary and it's a wonderful life.

Yep.

Had her own TV show.

She'll be in the show for a while too.

Yes, yes, yeah.

She was so darn good in that movie.

So darn good.

And Wolfgame, Ahmed Ace, Mozart,

born in 1756, Pestway in 1791.

Everything has been said about him

and it's still being said.

And I think that that's important to know.

Still probably the greatest opera composer of all time.

And I mean, think of all the time that's passed

since he was alive still,

some of the most amazing music ever created.

Oh, you know, I think I like it for a lot of us and stuff

and we think of like the Beatles or something like that.

And I'm like, oh, that's a pretty universal band.

Man, that music's been popular for a long time.

That is pretty impressive.

Oh, who's this Wolfgang guy?

Oh, wow.

Okay.

His music has been popular for centuries.

So that's a legend.

Okay, that's what the real like.

Because we throw the word legend around all the time now.

It is nothing to throw that around.

We throw on goat all the time.

Like that is an actual legend.

Yes, that is actual genius right there.

And I don't know if you guys were aware.

The one of his operas was just performed

at Wisconsin Rapids last week.

It was the magic flute.

Yes.

It was at the opera for the young performed it

at Howe Elementary on Wednesday last week.

They hit the other ones because I believe on Fridays

when they hit me.

So yes.

Yeah, yeah.

So they've been performing in the area.

It's such a, I didn't know that that's

where some of those songs came from.

Because I recognize some of the songs.

I've never actually been to an opera.

It was really neat to see.

And the fact that our kids get to see that

at such a young age is so cool.

That's very cool.

I think one of his more underrated ones too.

Is that one?

Magic flute.

I figured out.

But I don't know how many Beatles cover bands

there are anymore.

There's probably some around the world.

Probably some but probably not too many.

But this again, still getting.

And this is how many people are performing these still.

I mean, it's amazing.

It's amazing.

Just amazing.

And that is going to do it for our birthdays and anniversaries.

Get to get to our new sports and partner break.

We'll come back and have some more fun on the morning show.

Welcome back, everybody.

Morning show at wfhr.

Seth, Melissa, James here.

Thanks so much for joining us.

Let's dive into this one right here.

As we are, of course, are still in January

where we have a lot of people working

to keep those new year's resolutions

or just start the year on a good front.

Start on a good front and everything on the good foot.

You've probably heard people say

that it takes three weeks to form a new habit.

So if you're still clinging to your news or resolutions,

well, you might still be struggling.

Yeah, there might be wondering about that.

Well, in reality, the 21-day thing,

well, it probably takes a lot longer than that.

New research has shown that forming lasting habits

typically requires two to five months of consistent practice.

We do.

And it could take closer to a year.

Wow.

Researchers say if you're serious about wanting

to form a new habit, it's more important

to understand the process than to be fixed on a certain timeline.

OK.

And here are six major takeaways.

OK.

The first step to forming any new habit is repetition.

Yes.

Come be your friend.

Going to be your friend.

The old reps, right?

Yeah.

Early repetitions lead to the biggest gains.

And that's probably why it can feel like the habit is locked

in about after three weeks.

They compare it to learning a language.

Process is rapid at first, but then it

plateaus as we reach higher levels of proficiency.

Right.

OK.

I just said that whole sentence.

That was pretty good.

I'm pretty proud of that.

Get your rep, pretty darn proud of that.

Sementing new habits takes an extended period of reinforcement.

And you should be prepared for it to take up to a year to have

built.

OK.

So then it gets to the point where it's truly automatic

and requires minimal conscious effort.

OK.

What's the memory?

Morning habits tend to form more successfully than evening

ones.

Oh, interesting.

Simple actions will clear triggers,

like flossing every day, becoming automatic more rapidly,

readily than complex behaviors, like sticking

to a new workout at the gym.

Right.

So the simpler, the better, in other words, gotcha.

That makes sense.

Yep.

It does.

It might even be not a bad idea when it comes to some of these

things that, OK, I want to lose 20 pounds.

Well, maybe knocking it to five, maybe, or just

bringing it down a notch or something like that.

And new behaviors that you want to add a show stronger

habit formation than those assigned to you by others.

Right.

That makes sense.

Because if you have that desire to do it,

I would make sense that you'd be able to stick to it better.

You're also more likely to stick to a new habit if you enjoy it.

This sounds obvious, but it can be important in how you design

your habits.

There is a carrot at the end of the stick, right?

There is something there for you.

Bottom line, the median time for forming new habits

takes between 59 to 66 days, but it's highly variable

and can take up to 355 days to lock in.

Wow.

So in other words, be patient.

Be, uh, forgive yourself, you know.

Don't give up, you know.

Keep trying.

Keep, don't give up.

It's, uh, keep going.

It's a journey, not a, not a destination.

Yeah, that's right.

Yeah, it's one of the processes, the important part, yeah.

And I, I think it's important, too, like you may think

that this is difficult, whatever it might be.

But, uh, think about the things you have done.

Think about the things you have accomplished

that seemed impossible to do at first,

because I generally believe every single perk

that's out there listening has done something like that.

I agree.

You've all done something that nobody thought you could do

or you didn't think you could do and you did it.

Mm-hmm.

So keep that in mind, like anything is possible.

We've walked on the moon.

Yes, I mean, why should this be any different?

Right.

You want to lose 10 pounds.

Okay, it's doable.

You can do it, like it takes this.

It takes more.

It takes all these things.

But it certainly is an impossible.

No.

And I think that word is becoming less and less needed

as we go along here in society for a better and worse.

Um, here it is.

That's true.

Very true.

It goes both ways.

If you just keep that in mind,

I think, I think a mindset for this is so vital, too,

is so important.

With the repetitions is also, like you said,

not beating yourself up or some of those things,

but also just really reminding yourself, too,

of the wins that you have had,

of wins you've already had with this.

You know what, if you've been at this,

you're 27 days in, you know,

you're doing pretty good.

Right, right.

Whatever the case might be.

It's kind of easy to get stuck on the negative things.

You know, I think some of the other studies

that we've done on the show, I think,

is how much more negative things stick with you

than positive reinforcement does at times.

So it's, that's a great idea of like,

you know, thinking about the stuff

that you have accomplished, you know, wow,

I did this and that means one,

I could try to do this, right?

Keep it going.

And keeping in mind, you know, you're the rule maker.

Like you're making the rules, you're in charge here.

You decided you wanted to do this.

So you are the one to keep,

you don't owe anybody anything.

This is all on you and for you to be able to like,

as far as judgment and all that goes and everything.

Exactly.

And I don't know, to me also,

that means it's where you have the,

we've talked about accountability buddies

and some of those things too,

but you also have the grace of, okay,

today wasn't my best day.

I'll get back on the horse tomorrow.

Yep, try it again.

There's a lot of, a lot to be said for that.

Exactly.

Okay, there's a lot to be said when you've said that

for the last 367 days.

Right, right, right.

I'll get back on that horse tomorrow.

I'm just gonna keep saying that.

Mm-hmm.

All right, keep, keep plugging away Melissa.

Yeah, you can do it.

You can do it.

You can do it.

I formed a habit of saying,

I'll get back on that horse tomorrow.

I'm, it's, it's working really well, guys.

It's so good.

It's so good.

I just wanted to let us.

It's so good.

It's so good.

Ah.

Monday, like we're, we're having,

we're not even an hour in it.

She's on it.

She's on it.

She's on it.

Man's great.

I love it.

Oh, that's marvelous.

That's wonderful.

Uh, this, this is a, that ain't right story.

I'm just gonna, I'm gonna be honest with everybody right now.

All right.

I do feel like it's something we do need to cover.

Okay.

You know, we, uh, we are your break.

We have been for, you know, almost a whole time the morning show has been here,

but especially since Carl and I took it over back in the day and everything,

we want to be your positive outlook.

We want to be something different, something a break from the norm and everything.

And we try really hard to do that.

But every once in a while, there is a story.

We got to cover, we got to get into and everything.

Uh, and so bacon, uh, we're going to talk a little bacon.

Okay.

Uh, the headline, uh, bacon can raise your risk of dementia.

Oh, no.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's horrible.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

A team of researchers from Harvard School of Public Health just released a new report

with data going back almost 50 years.

And the bad news is that, uh, processed meats like bacon, hot dogs, uh, sausage, pepperoni

and ham increase the risk of kind of, kind of decline and dementia by 13%.

Oh.

That's even among participants who average just 0.25 servings per day or about two servings

per week.

Oh, wow.

Experts say this quote, increased risk could be reserved by re-reversed by replacing

bacon with salmon or any fish, really.

Okay.

Uh, for those that have not heard, I think that that's few people because most people,

I think, by now, have heard of the health benefits of fish, right, and in fish oil and

a lot of that stuff.

Uh, bacon and other processed meats were never considered to be peak healthiness, but

the rep for these foods, uh, has taken a seriously hit over the past few years.

Last year, the World Cancer Research Fund linked consumption of processed meats with an

uptick in cancer rates among young people.

And according to a study from 10 years ago, people who eat red meat, uh, red and processed

meat every day are 40% more likely to get bowel cancer compared to those who eat it

just once or a once a week or less.

Wow.

Wow.

Now, um, I, I think many out there have probably heard stories, two of people who say

you, um, you've eaten, you, you've eaten a normal American diet or whatever you want to

say most of your life and then I'll send you start going vegan and you do it overnight.

And your body doesn't handle that very well, body needs iron, your body needs certain

things.

So that's where supplements and some things come into play.

Um, but this is, uh, not very different than that.

If all you're doing is eating red meat that's your main course every day, it's probably

not great for you.

Yeah.

Just like any, almost anything too much of anything is usually a bad thing.

Usually not a good thing, right?

This isn't telling you you can never eat bacon again.

No.

This isn't telling you you can't enjoy pepperoni, um, but, but it is important.

Moderation.

Yeah.

Moderation.

And I think throwing some fish in there ain't a bad idea or getting a fish oil supplement.

I don't know.

Family natural foods.

Chuck them on.

Nice.

I like that.

I like bacon smoked salmon.

Yeah.

Oh, God.

Smoked salmon is so good.

I mean, it's, anybody wants to replace it.

Look, I will, for anybody that has an ad salmon and you're, you're dying to try it.

I will come over and I will grill it for you.

It only takes, it only takes like five minutes.

It's not.

It doesn't take that long.

It won't be at the house.

It's longer to set up and heat the grill.

I want you to take my shoes off.

Right?

I mean, but, uh, it's, it really doesn't take that log into this.

So worth it.

There are so few things.

It feels like that, uh, that you cook that, uh, don't take a lot of time, but are so rewarding.

Yes.

Salmon is a way at the top of the list for me.

Love that.

I'm not even a fish guy.

But, but salmon salmon, tasty, tasty.

Especially on a grill.

There's something, but there's a chew to it that is so good.

Um, and, and it's kind of fun to have, uh, different stuff in your, you know, diet.

Exactly.

If you've been, Ryan is always good.

Yeah.

Man, if Thursday has been meatloaf Thursday since like, uh, 1990, 1998 or something like that,

like maybe it's not a bad idea, uh, you know, change it up a little bit.

Yeah.

In fact, I think, uh, in my family today, we, we are trying, it's a recipe we've, we've

done in the past.

It's just been a while.

A, uh, lentil-based meatloaf.

Hmm.

We're trying today.

So we're gonna, uh, we're gonna be doing a little bit different, a meatless Monday today.

Yeah.

And there's what I just, I just grabbed meatloaf out of the, out of like the ether, just

because I thought it was a funny food.

And you're actually, we're actually gonna be, uh, that's why meatloaf made out of beans.

Yeah.

Mentals are very versatile and high in protein and very good for, yes, fiber and all
