Is Bigger Really Better?(Hour 2)

Mornings with WFHR · Wed Feb 5, 2025

Welcome back everybody, to the morning show, here at WFHR.

Got your host James behind the mic, I am joined by Seth, good morning everyone.

And the best listeners and radio, thanks for joining us everybody, club you're having

a fantastic day out there.

We're going to have some fun, take you to the top of the hour, we're going to get into

some cool topics a little bit later.

We got prop bets for the Super Bowl, we're going to go over, how big a TV do you need?

We're going to get into what, what, what, what do you need a TV?

Yes, yes.

How about that?

It will see, so I have a big topic of Super Bowl commercials, I want to do this one with

you and Melissa.

Oh nice.

I'm not talking a little of it today, but we're definitely going to hit it strong on Friday.

Friday.

We lead up to the Super Bowl.

We got a bunch of Super Bowl topics for you on Friday, we'll be getting into and having

some fun with that.

We'll be talking about some of this on playmakers too, be sure to join us tonight for that.

We'll have playmakers for you every day this Wednesday and Friday.

Yes, when it's supposed to air.

Yes, no preemptions this time.

But we kick off with some entertainment news and Adrian Brody is a Oscar winner for

Best Actor and is up for Best Actor for the brutalist.

And I think it's really a two horse race.

Him or Timothy Shalamey that is going to win probably.

I will say that in years past, this has happened many times and then Colin Domingo wins, you

know.

Dark horse, right?

Yeah, they split the votes.

And well, nobody's going to vote for this guy so that everybody votes for that guy.

Yeah.

And then the second one, yeah, it kind of just climbs right in.

But I agree with Mr. Brody that there are no bad choices this year that all candidates

are great and whoever wins is notably good and deserving of absolutely.

Absolutely.

And the performance is Timothy Shalamey's Bob Dylan.

The character Adrian Brody plays in the brutalist are the top ones, but I'm not going to complain

if somebody else wins.

I don't think they're not who I voted for, but I'm okay with whoever does win.

But I will say that he's making the rounds again because of him obviously being up for

an Oscar.

And on Monday's tonight show with Jimmy Fallon, he talked about something that happened.

Adrian Brody had his nose mistakenly mistaken for a prosthetic nose by what?

By a makeup artist.

And some other people in the industry were kind of talking about this too.

There was actually when the brutalist was not big, very big release.

It didn't have a lot of money to have a big, you know, one of these big superhero releases

or something.

Right.

So when it started going, making the rounds, well, there was a number of people that weren't

familiar with Adrian Brody and other people who may have not seen him for a while.

And remember that he's got a big nose.

He's got a recognizable snout, man.

He sure does.

It's him, my dad, a couple of other people that are on this list.

And so he, he just thought that he was like dumbfounded by this.

Like of all the things that have happened to him in his career.

This threw him, man.

He's like, no, quote, it's funny.

They were removing this apparatus all over me.

And this woman was busily working away with a Sullivan on my nose.

And she's trying to like rub the makeup off his nose.

She just worked away.

And I said, are you trying to remove that?

Adrian had to tell the makeup artist that his nose does not come off.

Oh my gosh.

Quote.

And then she says, oh, I'm so sorry.

This is going to be, this is going in my diary.

Let's go.

But she should have got to get the girl joke.

Oh, got your nose, you know, one of the reasons I root for this guy and I look up to this

guy and I like him so much is you are not going to find many people in the industry that

are more like they just takes life as it is.

Like it could not be more like back relaxed and more like appreciative of being where he

is and how he gets to make a living.

That's really cool.

There is humble and then there are people like Adrian Brody that just they get it.

Yeah.

Like I get to play make believe for a living.

Yeah.

I get to do it.

Like he comes from a blue collar family.

He gets this that how fortunate he is and I think one of the good guys to root for.

Absolutely.

And I have heard some people say that if he wins, he could be the least talented two

time Oscar winner ever.

I will throw Hillary Swink in there for that if you're going to have that list.

But if I will also point to darn near any movie Adrian Brody has ever done.

Now Adrian Brody had the same thing happened to him that a lot of actors do when they win

an Oscar.

You get typed and you want to break that type.

So you try to do, okay, I did the period piece.

I'm going to go do an action movie now.

And this and that and everything.

And then you kind of get lost in the shuffle a little bit and people that may not forget

or know what your work is.

But I've seen Adrian Brody's other projects.

I've seen everything he's done.

And you could take a movie like Predator and see excellent acting in that excellent performance

in that.

You're seeing a guy who brings his A game every time.

Sometimes that is shown more through the writing, through the directing or what have you.

But good acting is good acting and he's a dang good actor.

He's solid.

He's way better than a lot of the people that are saying that he's the worst two-time

winner.

I don't know where that's coming from.

I get really upset about that.

For one, I don't like actors talking badly about other actors.

First of all, yes.

Unless it's Kevin Coffin.

No, that's my Achilles.

That's your old little thing.

I admit that.

No, I really don't.

I think it's low-hanging fruit for artists to rip on artists, especially in the acting

game, where we all we have is each other.

There's nobody looking out for actors than other actors.

Man.

Exactly.

This cannibalizing thing sometimes of crabs in a barrel, where I want a career, so I'm

going to tear it down in this person or whatever.

By the way, doesn't help you in negotiations, gang.

No.

No.

You have a union for a reason and you need to be solidarity, guys.

Anyway, he's doing his job.

He's doing his job.

He's working his, he's bringing his professionalism.

Like you said, he's bringing his A game every time he goes out.

He's there.

Because that's his job.

And unlike some actors, didn't need a prosthetic nose.

That's his real nose.

He had it ready to go.

That's his real nose.

Should he be going?

Is it typecasting to want him to see?

No.

Here's a cannibal.

Here's a cannibal.

It was surgery.

That's a big nose guy.

Oh, serrino, divergerac.

Serrino.

Serrino, that's a serrino.

Yes.

How about this?

Adrian Brody was never considered for Lord Voldemort.

How about that?

How would they have been able to...

Oh, that'd be bad.

Never happened.

There's not enough special...

There's not a...

For those that don't wait.

Right.

Because your Voldemort has no nose, right?

Yeah.

But it would have been...

For those that don't know the story, years ago, Henry Cavill, who was Superman for many

years, grew a mustache for the movie Mission Impossible that he was in.

In the studio, the DC studio were furious about this because Superman can't have a mustache.

But any filming to do, they brought him back to do filming for Superman and stuff.

Now that was on them.

They should have had that done before their schedule started.

But he was not going to shave that mustache off.

So they digitally removed it, poorly, and oh my god, it's so bad.

It's so bad.

It's really bad for all the money they had that it really didn't work.

I like the idea of them trying to do this, like how bad it would look if Peter Brody

is Voldemort.

Yeah.

Have them tried to remove that shot.

Side note, in the comics, Superman is wonderful, bearded before.

So get out of here with that.

That's actually a good point.

Yeah.

Come on.

Seize.

I've seen bits and pieces.

I haven't seen the full trailer yet.

I got to admit, they pulled me in.

Oh.

I got to admit, it got me.

It got me.

It looked, it was, I mean, James Gunn is very, very good at what he does.

He's very smart.

And the thing I think James Gunn is the best at is I'm not doing this just for me.

This is about the audience.

This is about the fans.

And I'm going to make this movie with my vision and my likes and certain things.

He does this with casting where he is his old stuff, cast his brother and some things

like that.

Nathan Filion, I know.

He's definitely going to be in it.

But there's also a part of him that realizes, you know, why he got into this because he loves

this stuff.

And there's other people that are out there that love it.

And I actually, I'm not a big DC guy, but I think DC's in perfect hands right now.

I think they're going to, they're going to make some noise.

I agree.

I, it took Henry Cavill himself got me into the Superman role, seeing his performance.

This, this young man playing the Superman looks part, looks like he's got the character

down and it seems like they're being able to, like they got crypto in there, but it looks

real.

It looks good.

It looks like it doesn't look forced.

Like so many of the things in the comic book universe are forced.

They just were.

Stanley would admit that.

Oh, absolutely.

But they're pulling it off and making it look believable in the movies.

They're pulling it off and making it look as close to believable as you can.

You got to go into all these things with a little bit of imagination.

Right.

Right.

Well, let's, let's put this out there.

Remember, James Gunn was the man who brought back Howard, the duck.

Yeah.

And made him people forget about that horrible movie in the, in the 80s.

Yeah.

See, he can do it with Anna.

For, I know what's him with animals, but he's good at it.

Oh, he's really good at it.

Perfect.

Uh, uh, uh, rocket, uh, from the guardians, uh, rocket or even Cosmo the dog that appeared

in, you know, so yeah, you're right.

Yeah.

Actually, yeah.

It's all James Gunn.

Uh, great.

No, it's there by the way.

Great.

Great.

Uh, and a great caster.

Maybe one of the maximum casting guys in the business to the point of Howard the

duck having Seth Green as the voice of Howard, the duck is perfect, perfect, perfect

casting.

Uh, the fire aid benefit concert last Thursday are, uh, are estimated to have raised

over a hundred million dollars to support recovery efforts in Los Angeles.

Wow.

Wow.

The, this came from donations, ticket sales sponsors and merchandise sales, uh, fire

aid, uh, streamed, uh, streamed across 28 platforms for free.

Uh, it included performance.

And from over 30 artists, Green Day, Stevie Nicks, Lady Gaga, uh, Pink, Billie Eilish, no

doubt in a surprise Nirvana reunion, which was amazing to watch.

I got goose bumps.

Oh, my God.

I didn't even hear about that.

I was incredible.

Uh, you know why you didn't hear about it and why you partly didn't hear about it is

because every single one of these artists that were a part of this didn't make it about

them.

They made it about the act.

They made it about the movement and what was happening there on that is not noted

enough.

Um, uh, you, we've, uh, most people have heard of the fire aid benefit concert.

You don't know who was a part of it.

Even though some of the biggest names in the world were a part of this, um, that's

what can happen when artists don't just shut up and dribble artists don't just, uh,

do what they're told when the artists are actual human beings and actual Americans and

try to help out fellow Americans.

And they use their fame and they use their influence to do something like this.

This, no one else could have done this this way.

I mean, no, no group could have put together a, to raise this kind of money with

that you needed the famous people in order to get people to pay attention.

And then they started opening their wallets.

That's why it happened.

And I want to do two things here because we are adults and we can chew gum and walk

at the same time.

You can do that, everybody.

And I think we need to be reminded of that from time to time.

I think so.

You can have two thoughts that are parallel in your head or more different in your head

at the same time.

This is amazing.

And every one of these artists deserve credit.

And at the very same time, the Grammys were going on and they raised some money, sure,

how much could they have raised if they did this or partnered or they could have done

any number of things with this.

Yeah.

It's not going to happen, but the Academy Awards, it's the same darn thing.

Don't even have them.

Instead, everybody, every bit of money you were going to spend on that red carpet outfit,

every bit of money you were going to spend you could have put into this or other causes

that could definitely need it.

And every award show going forward could be that.

And I'm even going to include the Pro Bowl, the NFL Pro Bowl.

Every one of these could be doing, every one of these organizations in sports or entertainment

affiliates, whatever you want to call them.

They all could use some goodwill.

They all could use a little bit more of, hey, we are just like you.

Hey, we are, we feel you, we understand you.

We understand that we are in a different position.

We do a different thing for a living, but we're no different than the person pumping, you

know, pumping gas or anything like that.

And instead, they've done the opposite of that, I think.

By going out there and putting out, you can talk all you want.

Ever Noah could have came on every break on the Grammy breaks during the Grammys and

said, given the number and how to donate and all that.

And it's still when they're still seeing Trevor Noah in a million dollar suit.

They're still seeing every one of these artists going up there and laughing and having fun

in all this, which is great.

That's how life is.

We need to continue life.

Life goes on.

Right.

We did it after 9 and 11.

We got to do it after this.

And after every other tragedy that happens.

But part of one of the things that we miss when tragedies happen is, this is our opportunity

to come together.

This is our opportunity to show how much more we have in common than not.

And instead, we have things like this happen where we miss the boat.

We miss the opportunity.

We could be taking advantage of this.

Is anybody, you know, going to be sitting there and be like, man, I'm going to really

miss the Oscars this year.

I really wish they didn't turn off the Oscars and then no, people attending the Oscars

wouldn't feel that way.

No, come on.

Like this stuff, this stuff, if you really want to make an impact, if you really want

to create some good, and as a side note, you want to maybe increase ticket sales.

You want to maybe get more people to come to the movies, make more people to download

your music.

Any of this, goodwill does it, good PR does it, and you can't buy good PR, but you can

with this.

Yeah.

I want to make a quick point.

Yeah, go ahead.

The only way to buy good PR is with good actions, with genuine good action.

Exactly, exactly.

I do want to point one thing out about this, okay?

The fire concert was put on by the artists themselves coming together to do it.

You know, they needed to organize and all that stuff to do it.

The Grammys is put on by the industry, by the corporations that actually make money off

of the artist kind of thing, and I think you're kind of seeing where the disconnect there

is.

Yeah.

Why?

There was a little bit of a different thing, so just keep that in mind as well.

There is also a 90 track benefit album dropping Friday for only 24 hours.

It's called Good Music to Lift Los Angeles, and it'll be available on bandcamp.com starting

at 12 a midnight.

It's 20 bucks.

I think I may be going and purchasing that because it sounds amazing, and I love just

it.

Not only for, you know, the 20 bucks going for what it's going for, but it's an amazing

artifact of this time.

People still talk about live aid, remember?

Yes.

Back, same thing.

This is going to be one of those times.

People are going to be like, hey, remember that fire thing they did?

That was really cool.

Every penny of this is going to help the people of Los Angeles and the people of California

and the expires, and it'll be, it'll have contributions from REM, Deathcap for Cutie,

Tenacious D, Modest Mouse, Interpol, and many other artists.

It's going to feature previously released music along with covers, remixes, and demos,

and I got, I hope, that Nirvana reunion is on there.

Oh, gosh.

This is, that sounds like an amazing piece.

So yeah.

Sign me up.

I think I'm going to do that one.

Sounds pretty cool.

Yep.

We're wrapping up our entertainment section here, and Australian landmark has been destroyed.

A developer has demolished the boyhood home of ACDC's Angus and Malcolm Young.

Oh no.

The house in Burwood, Sydney, had been added to the local register for historic homes

back in 2013, but the register didn't have the legal status to actually protect it.

Oh no.

Fans are not cool with this, but the company that did it says it wasn't on purpose.

The previous owner never told them about the house's cultural significance, and now

they're genuinely sorry, they knocked it down.

And they plan to build a bar or cafe on the grounds using material salvage from the

rubble, and they got to call it, they got to do something, they got to tie an ACDC to

it.

They have to.

Yes.

It has got to be the thunderstruck bar or the money talks bar.

Yes, something like that.

Something like that.

Man, they should have, like, nothing but memorabilia, maybe, maybe have, you know, like

a little museum attached to it or something.

Well, shake y'all night long at them.

I don't know.

I mean, you come up with something.

I did do it.

If I get an actual ACDC fan do it, we won't make you do it, James.

To the global fan base of ACDC, please know that we hear you appreciate your deep

admiration for this legendary band and are devoted to the making this right.

Like, if an American company had come in and done this, it'd be bad.

It'd be rough, but an Australian company, even worse, so bad.

Something I just said about what it takes to be able to buy PR, good PR, like, this is

the opposite of that, man, like, you, I mean, there are, you know, we don't, when you

don't live in a country, you just don't know what you don't know, and they don't know

what it's like living here.

But I, again, through my work and entertainment and everything, I've been fortunate to know

a lot of people from a lot of other countries, and I've met a lot of New Zealanders and

a couple of Australians.

And there are a few things that they will talk more highly of than their music acts.

Yes.

Some of the greatest of all time from down under, yeah, I can't imagine this is going

over.

No.

Like, one of the greatest acts that ever come out of Australia.

I'm not a huge ACDC fan, they're going to couple of songs I like and everything, but

I am a gigantic, angus young fan.

I love angus young.

Great guitarist.

Incredible guitar player.

Incredible.

Like, not just incredible guitar player, but he did something that, like, few, guitar players

have done, like Chuck Berry, a couple of them.

The Duck Walk man, like, like, the Duck Walk or his signature look or some of the moves

that he would make, like, this is on some of the riffs he came up with, I mean, those

are timeless.

ACDC gets known for a number of things, but it is, there is no ACDC without Angus and

Malcolm.

Like, that is what made the man to the point where they lost their lead singer and was

able to replace it.

And it didn't matter.

Yeah, it didn't change.

It didn't change anything.

It's a sad story.

I'd love to know, you know, how they make that right.

I'm going to try to keep up with the story.

We can keep up with that without the rest of that situation.

Yes.

We'll take a quick time out.

We'll come back.

And we're not only going to talk about the WFHR newsletter, but we got Super Bowl

prop bets to talk about.

All right.

Coming up on the morning show.

Welcome back, everybody.

Morning show at WFHR.

Seth and James hanging out with you.

We hope you're having a great day out there.

Thanks for joining us on this Wednesday.

Happy Humpty, everybody.

Yeah.

I've got a funk vibe today.

I like it.

Yeah.

Got the Super Bowl right around the corner.

And with that, we're going to, you know, you've got commercials that are everybody's talking

about.

Right.

You've got almost everybody, just plenty of conversation going on.

Very little about the game.

Very little about who's going to win or any of that.

The game is almost like side note for anymore.

I mean, and it's been going that way for a while now.

Yeah.

And I think also part of this is too when football, it doesn't get looked at this way,

but it is such a regional sport.

It isn't like baseball regional sport.

Of course, I think.

Of course.

Of course, I think it is a regional sport.

It is one of those things where if your team isn't in it very rarely, are you going to keep

paying attention to the sport?

Yeah.

And I think because of the ratings, because of the popularity of football that gets lost

in the shuffle sometimes, because there are so many average fans of the sport.

Right.

And it doesn't have as many average fans, but they have, I think, just as many regional

fans.

I think that's right.

And that's part of the reason I think people don't care as much.

Little alone, you don't have two big markets here.

You have Kansas City and Philadelphia that are medium-sized markets.

And you have a repeat.

You know?

They have just two years ago in the same thing, right?

Exactly.

Very rarely in life do people want to repeat in sports?

Even teams, even fans of those teams, very rarely do.

So we all, but we're not going to not pay attention to the Super Bowl.

We find other things to talk about, like commercials and all this other stuff.

And while you and I are not betters or anything, there are plenty of people out there that

are.

And this is the new way of things in sports, which is still difficult for me to wrap my

mind around how, how we've just kind of like overnight been okay with gambling in sports.

Right.

Just overnight, like everybody's cool with it now, like, although I mean, we've started

to see it now.

The MLB just fired an umpire, not because he was betting on baseball, but because he

had an association with someone who did bet it and and this is where this is uncharted territory

we're going into right now.

We're going to start seeing things like this, I think, more and more.

More and more.

Yeah.

Because it's not even just that you dropped it down, that you placed a bet.

Now it's, it's you shared even one little bit of information with somebody with anybody.

Yeah.

Exactly.

Uh, and this again just leads into the point of the whole idea of the referees and the

conspiracy of getting Kansas City of the Super Bowl.

I remember.

Your team wasn't good enough.

Your team.

I'm sorry.

You don't have Patrick Behoves.

Yeah.

Yeah.

What are you talking about?

Oh my gosh.

Uh, real quickly, everybody speaking of sports and I'm sorry to do a playmaker's episode here,

but a trade just broke through.

The Milwaukee Bucks are acquiring Kyro Kuzma as part of a deal with the Wizards for Chris

Middleton.

Ooh.

That's a big upgrade for them, I think.

Uh, I think that's a nice addition for the Milwaukee Bucks.

Go.

Who's in a fan favorite though?

Yeah.

With Chris Middleton.

Uh, yeah.

Yeah.

Chris Middleton is not the player that Kyle Kuzma is.

And or what?

What he used to be as well.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But Kuzma is a good player.

Yes.

And if you're a Bucks fan, they're making moves.

That's a good thing for them.

You got two of the greatest players in the NBA.

You should be doing that.

Yep.

Uh, and looking at prop bets, what are the prop bets in these Super Bowl?

What are some of the bigger ones?

But we're going to focus on the silly ones.

I love silly ones.

Those are my favorites.

Yeah.

These are my favorites.

If I were to bet on football, this is the kind of stuff I would bet on.

Travis Kelsey proposing to Taylor Swift.

Uh, the actuality of like the prop bets, they got a 16.7% on that one.

They had that one last year.

I remember.

I remember they had that one last year.

Yes, they did.

And I'm sorry, that's the probability of that happening.

Right.

16.7% chance of that happening.

A coach or player will cry during the national anthem.

81% of people, 81% chance of that happening.

Ooh, yeah.

I can see that one.

Yep.

That's got to be a good bet.

That's going to be a good bet.

They take that one.

Yeah.

A quarterback catches a pass.

I'll fill a special back then when Philly and New England played.

Man, I want to, I want to see that.

I love it when that happens.

It doesn't happen very much, but I love it.

And here's one.

And I'm bringing this one up for a reason.

The color of the Gatorade port on the winning coach.

Purple has the best odds at 32.3%, which is very interesting.

Oh, okay.

I don't know if I remember seeing purple use.

Well, see now, here's the interesting question.

Because, you know, of the team colors that we're dealing with here, do you go like the

chiefs?

Would they go with orange?

You know, because it's closer to their red, or I suppose they could use red Gatorade.

Ooh, the stuff would stain.

Oh, sorry.

Yeah.

A little side note there.

But that's a good one, though.

I like that one.

I'd be curious to see what they do.

Now I want to hear from the audience.

Not just today, but the rest of the week here, 715, 424, 2600.

And to all my Super Bowl fans and friends and everything out there, I want to hear from

you, but during playmakers.

I want to hear from you.

Ooh, five to six during playmakers tonight and Friday night.

There you go.

Join us five to six right there, your sports call and show.

For this hour, I want to hear from people who don't really care, or you know, I don't

know if they're that interested in it, but maybe these might interest you.

Not saying you're actually, here's the fun thing about betting, too.

I think the actual fun thing.

You can play, but not play.

You don't actually have to put down a bet.

You didn't actually use money, right?

Yeah.

Most of us are going to be watching this game with other people, have the bet with other

people.

Yeah, just have a, you know, hey, if I win, you got to go get the food.

Yeah.

Right, right.

Yeah, you got to get some more beer or whatever it is.

Yeah.

Exactly.

Why does gambling always have to involve money?

Yeah.

Why does, like, I think fun.

I think you could be fun to have.

I'm like any other human being on the planet.

I think that, you know, bets are, you know, this can be fun, but money just, money's

it all up.

I think money makes it.

Money ruins all relations.

I'm telling you, I know.

I didn't really think that, man.

Yeah.

Like, I think you could have fun with this and make these bets.

Hey, what's the opening coin to us going to be heads or tails, you know, there you go.

We'll have a gentleman's bet about this and the land on its edge now.

Yeah.

And if I win, you got to, you got to watch the whole second quarter upside down or something

like that.

I don't know.

Or person passes out.

Yeah.

During the commercial breaks, you have to go to the bathroom, like you have to.

You don't get the watch.

You don't get to watch the commercials.

That one would be fun.

I mean, you can have fun with this without actually putting like your mortgage out there

and stuff.

No, I don't know.

And I think the color, the color of the Gatorade one is a perfect example of that.

That's an excellent one.

Yep.

Who will be envy?

Who will the MVP mention first?

God or Jesus?

51% on that one.

That's actually kind of, that's an interesting one.

This one is an easy one to me.

And I'll help you all out here.

I don't know if any gambling experts going to be able to give you this advice.

Kendrick Lamar is doing the halftime show.

Kendrick Lamar mentions Drake during the halftime show, 25% odds of that.

Now, this is a, this is a gray area here because I do not believe in him.

I 100% I can tell you that he will not say the word Drake.

No, he will.

He will not say the name Drake.

But boy, Drake's presence, like he's going to be mentioning him in quotes because he's

got about two or three songs that are involving Drake and just shredding this man.

You know, I'm guessing that Kendrick Lamar has gotten over whatever it was, you know,

that initially, you know, but, but now it's become like a meme thing and he's just,

just, oh, it's just driving the truck through it because it's like, hey, why not, you

know?

And, and in part because this is like, he, he warned him.

He warned Drake.

You come after me and I'm bringing my full onslaught and this is a guy who has won a full

surprise in writing.

This is a guy, like the first music act to ever win, like, oh, first hip-hop act to

it.

I think Bob Dylan won one.

Yeah, he has.

But yeah, this is the, this is the writing level this man is on and you want to pick a

fight with him.

Like, that's on you.

That's on Drake.

And Drake shouldn't have been a creep.

He's a creep.

He doesn't, he doesn't deserve the fame he had.

The first celebrity cameo, Taylor Swift has the odds on this one at 33%.

That's all likelihood.

That's a good chance, yeah.

Interesting though.

Peyton Manning is second with 25%.

And so that isn't, that actually is a little bit, I think most people would think, and I

with them, oh, Taylor Swift easily, I'll put my money on Taylor Swift.

She's certainly going to be the first celebrity mentioned or that we should.

Yeah, right.

But I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know with the, with the celebrity of the mannings and stuff.

That's not a bad bet either.

I would still put my money on Taylor Swift.

Probably I would.

If I were betting, I would put it on Taylor Swift, yeah.

And what team will Jason Kelsey represent?

Obviously Jason Kelsey is retired now, but a former Philadelphia ego.

You don't want to super bowl with that team.

And, but his brother plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, right?

And since he's not a player anymore, right?

Maybe he can put his affiliation to one way or the other.

I don't know.

I still, I still see him wear an eagle gear.

It's going to be tough for him, man.

It's going to be tough.

And that's the odds on favorite of 59.3% betting line that he is going to wear Eagle's

gear and stuff.

I would not take that bet because I almost guarantee you he's going to have one of those suits

with the middle down split split in the middle one on each side.

Yep.

The old two face suit.

Yeah.

I can't imagine what it must be like to be the person that has to be in charge of this

stuff.

When I'm coming to the ticket line and I'm like, I think I won because Travis Kelsey had

green on and they're like, no, he had on red and green and you lose your bet.

The person that has to like define these things, there's so much gray area with this stuff.

The Kendrick Lamar thing with Drake is a big one.

Like if he does not like us, which he's going to do, that's about Drake.

So how is that?

But if he doesn't mention the name, like I don't know about the first time Travis Kelsey

yells at Andy Reed.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Nice.

And I will say the house always wins.

Yeah.

House always wins.

Just remember that one, everyone.

Yeah.

Just remember that.

Let's take a call before we go to break.

Good.

Morning.

You're on the show.

It should be how many times they show him with a shirt off.

Yes.

Oh.

Yes.

Absolutely.

You're so right about that.

Oh, excellent.

Yeah.

It's just these profits are so, you know, that's the thing with the profits because you

know dang well that some of these, to be in place, things are watching the profit.

So if I, you know, if it's close to the 33% or whatever, like, yeah, they're showing

Taylor Swift and Peyton Manning that 32% of no dang well, they're going to show somebody

else.

Yeah.

Right.

Yeah.

Right.

Right.

Exactly.

Yeah.

Exactly.

Yeah.

It's not, not, I feel like it gets lost on gamblers all the time.

This whole thing is built for you to lose.

This is not built for you to win.

This is not a, this is not the, the, the none of this is built for, for you to win a dime,

let alone win the big prize or anything like that.

That's not how they stay in business.

No.

No.

The house always wins.

Like the idea of you being smarter or, or being able to outsmart or outlock the house,

that doesn't happen.

Doesn't happen.

It's for a reason.

They're always in their favor.

Yeah.

You know how hard it is to bankrupt the casino?

You know how hard well that, you know, they're, I guess, unless you're a former president.

I'm not sure, unless you own it, we're terrible at it.

Yeah.

And it's really tough to do with that.

But it's hard.

Yeah.

It's really because the house always wins.

Like, I don't understand it.

It's the, what are the hardest things for me to wrap my mind around is gambling.

I don't get it.

I don't really know.

But I, I can, you know, just be smart and safe out there within everybody.

Have do you, do you care about this stuff, like, to the point where you actually put

a dime on, or anything?

I, I would put, the profits, I don't really, I mean, there are some guys I know that

put profits, but they put small amounts on it.

You know, you know, a couple bucks here, a couple bucks there, they don't try to put

too much on.

I think that's more.

I think that's more.

I think that's because, because you just never, I mean, yeah, you could get on some

of the profits.

But man, you're taking a bigger risk and, if I put money down, and it probably means

either, yeah, I've gotten over under, or maybe the, the points, yeah, which I really,

I get, you know, right now it's, like, kind of 30 favor by a point, uh, point and a half.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, how can you bet on that?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm looking at the, uh, one of the more popular prop bets is how long the national anthem

is going to last.

And, uh, John Patisse is going to be singing it by the way.

So that'll be good.

He does.

He's a great singer.

He's got the over 120 seconds, uh, that is the under 120 seconds.

So those are the options.

And it looks like most of the betting line is going towards the over 120, 120 seconds.

So right, right, which is just over two minutes.

It's supposed to be only, um, it's, there's a meter to it.

It's only supposed to be like two minutes and something.

I can't remember exactly what it is.

But, uh, but we'll, we'll see, we'll see.

Look at what we've done with this.

Ha, ha, ha.

This is the national anthem.

I know.

We're supposed to be locked in paying attention and on heart caring about this.

And what are, uh, the majority of Americans are a lot of Americans.

Look at their phones.

Look at their phone counting.

Counting the seconds.

Yeah.

How is that right?

How is that?

Well, that's where we are right now.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Uh, Kev, appreciate you, man.

Thanks for the call.

Uh, save that voice.

I'm going to use you on playmakers later.

I'm going to do it.

Yeah.

You too.

You too.

Appreciate you, Kev.

Appreciate all of you.

Thanks for hanging out with us.

We'll be back after our news break on the morning show.

Welcome back, everybody.

Morning show at W.F. H.

Ah, they call me Dr.

Warren.

Good morning.

How are you?

You.

Seth and James here with you.

Hope you're having a good one out there.

Thanks so much for joining us.

You know, I, I don't know if this happens as much as it used to.

But I know there was a time in our lives that maybe when we were younger, Seth, that it

seemed like when the Super Bowl week came around, uh, dads around America were buying

new TV.

That would happen.

Yeah.

No, no, they think about it.

You're right.

Yeah.

You look back at the sales of TVs in the late 90s early odds or even in the early, early 90s.

And there was a rise of that.

There was a lot of that going on.

And of course, it was always the big TV, you know, how big of a TV you could have and

everything.

And then flat screens came around and we were putting them on your, you know, walls and

all these different things.

TVs have evolved quite a bit over the years.

Noteworthy to them.

They big has always been the thing.

Oh, can I get bigger, bigger, bigger and better?

Yeah.

I think it's kind of cool to see where things are going now, where more and more people

are like, yeah, I want a big TV, but I want one that has high definition.

I want, it's more about the graphics, the 5K, the 20 little details, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

So here's an interesting one.

It seems like a lot of people do buy a new TV for the Super Bowl and there are a lot

of deals on big screen TVs around this time of year for that.

But a new survey asked people, if money was an issue, what is the largest TV you'd put

in your house?

I think that's a really interesting question.

It is.

Yeah.

I want to bring this one to the audience.

Okay.

715-424-2600.

Money is not an option.

You got a blank check.

Not the name, but he's supposed to check anymore.

They couldn't have been older.

Yeah.

You have a blank debit card.

No, no, no.

People will still be using that one, checks are completely gone.

True.

Very true.

And they'll be in front of you in line.

Yeah.

Money wasn't an issue, how big would you go?

And surprisingly, many people don't follow the bigger as better philosophy.

20% of people said that they wouldn't go any bigger than 65 inches, which is the most

popular answer, which is still gigantic, by the way.

That's still a big TV.

I think I might have one of those.

I don't remember.

But anyway, yeah.

18% said that they'd go up to 75 inches, and another 12% said 85 inches, and 6% said

100 inches.

And 7% said that they'd grab the biggest one they could find.

On the flip side, 13% of people said that their ideal TV is 50 inches or less.

And another 11% said that they wouldn't go any higher than 55 inches.

Okay.

They didn't ask why people would prefer smaller TVs, but not everyone has the space for

a big one.

Ah.

Or the desire to make their whole home lifestyle right about the TV.

Everything revolves around the TV.

My TV home, yes.

Let's find out what you think.

Good morning.

You're on the show.

I wouldn't go any bigger than a 50 inch.

I got, we're going to have that big of a house with that, that big of a wall there, and

I'm going to 8 feet across from it, so don't need no 65 inch TV.

Right.

That's right.

Yeah.

100%.

Boy, he's kind of, he has this point that I was, I was making.

It really depends on the room size that you're putting the TV in, because you can do too

big.

And like you said, you're sitting too close and just doesn't look right kind of thing.

You need to kind of do it to the room.

Yeah.

I, I do, I find it funny, the idea of you buy a TV that's so big that you have to get

a new home.

That you have to get a new apartment or something like that, and it does, it is the definition

of what is two, two big two is too big.

Two big is too big.

Yeah.

There's certain things that just don't, not everything is better bigger.

Yeah.

TVs are one of them, I think.

I'm with you, sir.

50 inches, that's plenty size, that is, mine is, I believe a 45 or 50 inch TV, and I'm

very happy with it.

Yeah, I got a 46 inch Sony, and I think Sony is probably the best, the picture on there

is just beautiful on that.

Yep.

Yeah, they are great.

Very nice.

I will say though, if I could, if I had the kind of money and the space and all that,

I've always thought that those home theater kind of things are pretty cool to like have

a projector in your house or in your basement or whatever, like, I'm saying this is different

because if you could afford like a whole room to set up like it, just go like whole

hog and like an actual movie screen in your house, right?

Actual projector and actual seats, you know, and that is something that I have always thought

is kind of cool.

That would be cool.

But that's a whole different thing.

It is.

It's not a TV, it's different.

Yeah.

Otherwise, I'm 100% with you, sir.

I think a lot of us are.

I think that's true.

Especially when you grow up the way, oh, yeah, go ahead, sir.

So I'm just going to say, thank you for my call, yeah.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah, thank you.

Appreciate it.

Time, man.

Thank you.

I do think there's something to be said about the generation he grew up in and how we grew

up and where we were.

None of us, either generation really grew up with these big, gigantic TVs and how common

they were for the younger generations and a lot of people that were entering this survey.

This is old news to them.

Right.

They don't care as much about the size of the TV, they're, they want the 51K and, you know,

the newest graphics.

Look and, you know, go back and look at pictures of the original TVs.

Oh, small.

They were.

The screens were tiny, just imagine, you know, this has got to be something crazy.

Let's take one more call before we go to break.

Good morning on the show.

Nope.

I think we lost them.

Oh, we lost them.

We'll have to call back 715-424-26.

All right.

Yeah, I would, so we're both pretty much on the same page.

I think so, yeah.

Everybody over there.

I don't know.

I, I, um, I wouldn't know.

I will say this though, I wouldn't mind watching the game on somebody else's, the

yellow 75-inch TV or something like that.

Then you don't have to pay for it.

Yeah.

You got to find the room for it.

Vite you over, you know?

Do you even put that?

Where do you even put that?

I can't imagine.

Like, I guess, I mean, you got the kind of money and the kind of home for it.

But I also love the, like, because anybody, I feel like everybody had this friend or new

somebody in high school that had a crummy car, but like a billion dollar sound system.

Yes.

Like 100%.

So I like the idea of that for this.

Somebody in like a rady apartment, but they got like a 75-inch TV, like, I don't know why

I like that.

It doubles as a bed.

I just sleep on it.

Yeah.

And it is my plates.

Yeah.

It's my table.

Yeah.

Everything.

Taking a time out.

We back in the board show.

Boarding show at WFHR.

Now is when we play.

Go back.

Yeah.

Welcome back, everybody.

I'm coming home, baby.

Now you need to drink.

I'm coming home now right away.

I'm coming home.

Coming home.

Bring him in home.

We're going to take you to the top of the hour.

Wrap up this show.

Thank you so much for joining us, everybody.

And a special shout out to our team that has worked incredibly hard behind the scenes to

pull this off.

Right.

Nice work by everybody.

Yeah.

That's a real quick note on the TVs.

Seth and I were talking and I was reminded of a moment when I was a kid walking through

the department store and I see this and I'm like, well, that's it.

We're never going to get higher than this.

That's a TV with a VCR in it.

A TV with a VCR to get out of here.

The combo.

The combo was just mind boggling, man.

That is the height of technological evolution.

We will never surpass this in like a week later.

We came out with flasks.

TVD is all the sudden.

Yeah.

It didn't matter anymore.

That shows what I know about that subject.

So I do want to mention our WFHR newsletter.

This is one of our favorite things we're doing around here.

We're having so much fun with this and our team is working so hard on it.

It is your one-stop shop for Central Wisconsin News, sports, weather, different interesting

Sadly, there's nothing else like it in the area that has this kind of news.

So you're really going to need it.

There are a lot of great resources out there and I show each one of them out.

I want to work with them, not against them or anything like that.

But I will say with a proudly that nobody is coming Central Wisconsin like we are.

No.

Really not.

And this is the most boring baseball offseason I can remember.

My gosh.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So dull.

Can't wait for the game to start.

I did come across a great article on Nestor Cortes that I encourage people to check out

at MLB.com.

Seth and I will talk about it on Friday.

Yeah.

We'll get to that more of that.

Cool.

For tonight at 6'10 Wisconsin Women's Basketball hosting USC, the best player, maybe the best

player, if not the best, the second best player in Women's College basketball, Juju, is a place

for USC and they just came off to a loss.

They're going to be coming into this game hot and the Lady Badgers, I think, are going

to be ready for it.

So be a good game.

Yeah.

It's going to be a really good game.

Tonight, right here at 6'10, be sure to check it out, everybody.

Coming up in just a couple of days, about five days away from Lincoln High School concert,

I'm happy to be sure to check that out, everybody.

Yes.

And of course, other great local things going on, we'll be telling you about those as we

get closer to them.

A wildlife rescue worker in Australia saved a very large bat that fell into a hotel swimming

pool and couldn't get out.

Yeah.

And there is a video of it that is pretty fun.

It's pretty interesting.

That's pretty great.

Very large bats.

Okay.

Be sure to check that out, everybody.

A study found bingo night could help your grandparents stay sharp.

Wow.

Look at that.

What a tie in, man.

Seniors who stay social through things like bingo and dinner with friends develop dementia

five years later than people who are less social.

Wow.

Going to church also does this as well.

It's just it's being out there doing stuff with people.

It's man.

It's not only is it good for your soul.

It's good for your health.

Yeah.

Health everybody.

Yeah.

And I've got like five or six different stories here about individuals helping out like a woman

rescuing a woman rescuing another woman who was trying to save her dog on a frozen

link.

Oh.

And firefighters and police officers showed up a deer rescued from an ice covered organ

link.

Wow.

Firefighters and police officers showed up.

It's just a note to all of our officers out there and all of our firefighters and everybody

and all the extra work that they do this time of year.

Yes.

And I'm not just saying that because Sheriff Sean Becker will be with us for an hour

today.

That's not at all.

I'm not at all trying to get points.

Do you think he heard that?

I don't know.

I don't know.

If you sure to join us for midday magazine today from four to five, we're going to have

fun.

Sheriff Sean Becker will be with us for the entire hour looking forward to that conversation.

We will have Terry Johns in with us tomorrow.

That's right.

That's right.

That's right.

Over the United Way of Southwood and the Ames counties.

Not only will we be having some fun getting the band back together, but we're also going to be

doing love on the air contest.

It's coming up.

We're listening for that everybody again.

You have got coming up here at the different hours, didn't we're going to be doing this and

having some fun with it?
