These Dreams (Hour 1)

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.

I am joined by our head of news.

Our co-host, Melissa K.

Good morning.

Our head of production and co-host, Seth Tabhacker.

And the best listeners in radio.

We see you out there.

Thanks so much for joining us, everybody.

Let's kick things off the way we like to.

With our friend, Brittany Merlot.

And Brittany, we love talking with you.

But it feels a little important to be talking to you today.

Certain days stand out more than others.

Yeah, sure does.

I'm going to say, are you guys ready to rumble with Mother Nature?

Let's get rid of the rumble.

That's the vibe I'm feeling today.

Because this storm is a mess.

I mean, I know March brings messy storms, but wow.

We're right in the middle of it.

So obviously that winter storm warning has been expanded into the Rapids area.

This storm has started to shift a little bit south as it's moving closer and closer to us.

And it's going to put down a heavy line of snow.

It's going to be a narrow strip throughout the state.

But it does want to swipe right over us right here in a central Wisconsin.

So what we're looking at is the day goes on.

Obviously it's cloudy.

It's kind of the comb before the storm.

Because we are looking at rain rolling in by 11 o'clock this morning.

It will start to flip to a winch remix right around 1 to 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

That could include some sweets, some freezing rain, some snow in there.

This is when the roads are going to start to get really bad and deteriorate starting at 2.

Then it flips to all snow.

A heavy wet snow from about 3 o'clock this afternoon through midnight.

And we're going to have winds gusting up to 40 miles per hour on top of that.

So this is going to make it near Whiteout conditions.

There's blizzard warnings in Minnesota.

They stop at Wisconsin.

But that doesn't mean we're not going to have those conditions.

It's just not going to last as long.

So that's why it's not blizzard criteria.

It is going to be near Whiteout conditions.

This is going to be very dangerous driving on the way home this evening.

And then it's going to last about the night.

We are looking at about 2 to 4 inches of snow throughout the day.

Another 1 to 3 inches at night puts our totals anywhere from about 4 to 8 inches

is likely through our area.

The good news is this tomorrow is sunny.

It'll be calmer and it'll hit highs above freezing until about 40 degrees.

So we'll start to melt some of that snow.

That's significant snow hitting us today with some bad conditions that are going to be very slick and slippery on those roads.

So be careful.

No merch.

Yeah.

So Brittany, you got me a riled up.

Let's get rid of the rumble and everything.

I am the son of a boxer.

And you say something like that.

I immediately think, OK, I got a face off against my opponent here.

Now, my father raised us that, you know,

nothing used to be feared.

Anything could be defeated.

Everything is a weakness.

Mother Nature doesn't seem to have that, Brittany.

So we should just probably stay indoors as best we can.

Just kind of just buckle down.

Yeah.

Yeah, it seems like a pretty good idea for putty just to go.

That's cute from the window.

Yes.

Give her this one, James.

Just give her this one, all right?

Yeah.

You win this battle, Mother Nature.

Every battle.

But Brittany, you had to share such, like, I don't know, a sad, terrible news with us.

Share something fun that you like to do in the summer.

Like, give us hope for summer coming.

Oh, well, I mean, personally, I love spring storms.

I love the thunder rolling through and then the grass greening up.

And then you get to go out there and hike pretty soon.

And then before you know it, you're out on the water doing some canoeing kayaking

and stand up paddle boarding.

Around the corner.

Thank you.

That was what you were doing.

There you go.

Just very good stuff.

Just right there ready to go with it.

Yep.

Absolutely.

I will piggyback on that.

I cannot wait to be barefoot again.

Just barefoot feeling the grass, the sand, the grass under the toes.

That's good stuff.

We're not that far from it, everybody.

No, we're not.

We are that much more prepared.

Thanks to Brittany.

We appreciate you.

Have a great morning.

Thank you, Brittany.

You too, thank you.

You are a great business right there joining us every morning.

And yes, listen to her, everybody, please.

Go ahead and be safe out there.

If you've got to get a traveling done, try to get it done early,

and certainly look out for each other on the roads out there.

And all of our friends out there and your neighbors and all that.

You know, our friend Phil Hartley pointed something out to me the other day.

It seems like all the storms we've gotten this year are on Wednesdays.

Yeah.

Surprisingly.

Yeah.

And I realize, oh my gosh, he's right.

You said for Bingo.

Yeah.

That is sad.

We got some fun stuff to get into.

We got the L.K.A. birthday anniversary club right around the corner.

We're also going to get into a Tesla that could not out trick the Looney Toons characters.

A hotel canceling your reservation for maybe the longest of reasons.

Oh, no.

And then a little bit later, which of these 12 common dreams have you had?

Oh.

We've got that one coming up in a little bit.

As Seth just mentioned, teaming us up perfectly.

We will be joined by Phil Hartley a little bit later with our wicked, awesome mortal Wednesday.

Mm-hmm.

Plenty of entertainment news for you to kick off the 9 o'clock hour.

I'm going to talk about a couple of fun things.

There are some concerts coming up.

My old boss has another job.

We've got some other fun things in there.

Tracer Morgan, we will touch on as well.

And get into our WFHR newsletter.

Mm-hmm.

And we have also in the 9 o'clock hour, what was the biggest flop that was hyped as the next big thing?

Ooh, love it.

Yeah, this is one of your kind of...

Oh, love these things.

Yeah, yeah.

We'll get into all of that a little bit later.

We do.

We forget these things and we need to remember.

We need to remember.

So we don't do it again.

That's right.

And we can point and laugh a little bit of both.

A little bit of both.

Brittany was preparing us very well for what's coming up.

And we've been talking yesterday.

We were talking about how many days till spring, some of that stuff.

So this may be a good time to bring this one up.

There is a brand new app called Touch Grass.

And it forces you to literally go outside and touch grass before going on social media.

Oh, wow.

Here's how it works.

Touch Grass asks you to choose two apps that are your biggest time suckers.

You're biggest, you know, you spend your most time on.

And that you want to limit.

It then blocks these apps.

The only way to unlock them is to take a picture of yourself outside actually touching grass and submitting it.

Then you'll choose how much time you can have on each restricted app.

There is a couple caveats.

Of course.

Touch Grass is only available as a pre-order now.

It doesn't come out until this next Friday actually.

Okay.

And it's only on iOS in the Apple app store.

The developer plans to release this as an Android app in the future.

And he also wants to add ways for you let users touch snow, sand and other kinds of environments.

Hey, that's cool.

Another thing the app is free, but upgrading it will cost you six bucks a month.

The premium version will let you block an unlimited number of apps and give you periodic skips

and provide detailed screen time reports.

As of last week, the app supposedly had around 30,000 pre-orders.

Oh, wow.

That's an interesting case study if nothing else.

And even app to help us with our apps.

Wow.

That's where we're at, man.

Let that sit there for a second, everybody.

And to help us like not use our apps, which is, I mean, to get outside, which is.

We've hit like a weird level of irony here that I don't know.

I don't know if I can really articulate it, but trying to wrap myself around the meta of this.

Yeah.

Everything.

Yeah.

The other thing too is submitting a picture of you touching grass.

What did they do with that picture?

You know, sadly, Melissa, you have to ask that question now.

Yep.

About anything like that.

Yep.

You do.

And that's good.

Yeah.

That also seems like one of the weirder fetish sites too.

You know, a touch of grass.

I don't know what you're doing with that.

I don't want to know, actually.

Yeah.

I don't want to happen if you look up touching grass.

I'm good.

I'm good.

Oh, that's not.

I'm not googling that.

Google in there.

Google in there.

It's a family show here.

So with this, there is, there is a good intention with it, I think.

Unfortunately, when you don't know enough about the creator and some of those things that does hold me back.

Well, and also all the small print that they have on every single one of those apps that nobody reads because it's impossible unless you're a lawyer.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

It's unintentionally.

I don't know what you're agreeing to.

Everybody just hits.

I agree.

Yep.

I understand that.

I understand addiction pretty darn well.

So I'm not saying this lightly, but I do think that part of the purpose of this, you can certainly do yourselves and trying to find ways around this yourself.

There are screen time, you know, things you can put on your apps yourself.

And there is a, I mean, routine.

Our brains love routine.

So instead of the app doing this, make yourself do this.

And keep in mind, this is not something that's going to happen overnight.

It's going to take your time.

It's going to take your time to get into the habit of doing this.

But if you say you have a rule, I'm not looking at my apps on the apps on my phone until I'm out of bed.

That does seem like a big deal.

It doesn't seem like, well, wow, James, way to keep the bar low and everything.

Well, look what we're talking about.

Yeah, I mean, in order to defeat an addiction, you are trying to defeat something in your own brain.

You are trying to defeat a chemical imbalance.

There is literally no way around that.

I brought this up earlier for a reason.

My father always taught us, hey, everything is a weakness.

There is nothing to be feared.

He also struggled with addiction more than I've seen anybody in my life.

And part of what he finally had to realize was, this is something I can't do alone.

This is something I have to do.

I have to choose to do myself for myself no matter how much he loved the rest of us.

He had to choose to do it for himself first.

That is essential.

And he needed help.

What we're talking about here is addiction.

What we're talking about here is people being addicted to phones.

Now, we like to categorize addiction.

We like to say, well, this addiction is worse than this addiction.

And this addiction doesn't deserve any help.

And this one does.

And all these crazy things.

Addictions, addiction to the brain.

It is.

The brain doesn't separate these things.

The brain doesn't separate your addiction to alcohol any more than your addiction to your apps.

This is the way the brain works.

And in order to defeat that, you have to embrace it.

You have to understand it better.

And what you can do to work around it and work with it and defeat it.

Right.

And if you really want to stop using your apps that much, I think that using another app is maybe good for some.

But I would think that the majority of people, you got to do this on your own.

You got to choose to do this.

Choose to go out there and touch grass or sand or concrete for that matter before you decide to open up.

No Twitter or whatever you're going to do.

And everyone deals with addiction in different ways like you touched on their James.

I mean, we all have, you know, our little things to help us.

You know, even if we don't have, you know, quote-unquote addictions.

You know, there's things that you tend to do more than that you don't like.

You know, it's like, have bad habits, that kind of stuff.

But yeah, so like you said, maybe this will help a few people.

Who knows, you know, but I don't know.

It's not a cure all for sure.

No.

And if you need some help to get you over that hump of, okay, I do need to do this.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Asking for help.

That's right.

You can help reaching out, getting a support group.

You know, we have alarm clocks on our phones.

All smartphones come with with a clock thing.

Set a timer.

You know, set yourself a, okay, I can, I can do this for 30 minutes when the timer goes off.

Shut it off.

Yep.

You can also maybe disguise your apps on your phone.

Isn't there a way?

I think there's a way.

Don't look them on your home screen.

Yeah.

You have to actually have to go into your menu and look for that.

Look for them, right?

You know, I'm kidding, but actually there's a little bit to that considering most of these get used

because I've convened it is to just touch and go away.

Exactly.

Yeah, there's something to that.

Make it a little harder for yourself.

The touch grass app is available at the App Store.

And again, they are looking to build the Android version.

And shortly see how well this one does and that will probably lead to it.

If you're not, they do create an Android version.

We'll be keeping an eye on it.

We'll be coming up with a birthday and anniversary club from our friends at Elle Café on

the morning show.

Woo-hoo.

It's time to do some celebrating with our good friends over at Elle Café in the birthday

and anniversary club.

One of our favorite parts of the day we get to talk about you and our great friends over

at Elle Café.

This is them today, 221 Market Avenue and Beautiful Port Edwards.

Wish them a great day from all of us and check out some of the great posts.

They got some great specials going on today.

Yeah.

Yeah, that pork belly Benedict, I really want to try that.

Oh, that sounds good.

Oh, that sounds good.

Yeah.

Yeah, just looking at the picture they put together too is great.

They got a great post up, everybody be sure to check that out.

You don't follow them?

Follow them.

Yeah, exactly.

Not telling you what to do, but I'm telling you what to do.

It's a good suggestion.

It's a good, fine suggestion, Melissa.

Fine.

We encourage you to get us your birthdays and anniversaries as well.

Everybody, you can email us info at WFHR.com.

Of course, feel free to DM us on our Facebook pages WFHR or WFHR and like those pages.

Yep.

And you can call up.

That's right.

715-424-2600.

Just a touch or two away on the Civic Media app and just between all of us, everybody.

You might want to keep that app handy because we might have a text to win contest coming

up real soon.

We too.

Yeah.

Listen to that, everybody.

It's right around the corner.

It is.

Let's go ahead and dive into our local birthdays.

Mel, it's our year last time with us for the week.

So I'm going to make you do it one through three.

Mmm.

Two.

All right.

Good one.

Pickle in the middle.

Pickle in the middle.

We get to celebrate Andrew Edmunds first.

Happy birthday, Andrew.

Happy birthday.

Great name.

Yeah, yeah.

It's a good name.

Enjoy the day, man.

Enjoy the day, Andrew.

Mmm.

We also wish you happy birthday to Kim Leach.

Happy birthday, Kim.

Happy birthday, Kim.

Wish you a good day, Kim.

And of course, our qualifier, Tracy Lee Dean.

Aw, congratulations, Tracy.

Tracy, congrats.

Enjoy the day, Tracy.

Yes.

It's a good one for you.

And you're our qualifier.

We encourage you to brag to all your friends, family, animals, strangers, everybody.

Let them know you're our qualifier.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And who do these people share their birthdays with?

Let's go ahead and take a look at our celebrity list.

Clayton Kershaw is 37 today.

Yes.

Yeah, Los Angeles Dodger icon.

A regard of this one of the best pictures in MLB history.

He'll be a Hall of Famer when he finally hangs up the spikes.

One in the long line of great Dodger pictures.

Especially left handers.

Yeah.

They got a history with that.

We stick with sports with Andy Reed is 67 today.

Oh my gosh.

Head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs.

I think better stories in the NFL when you think about how it wasn't that long ago.

Andy Reed was looked at as the coach to couldn't win the big game.

Right.

And he's got that.

That's shocking now.

Yeah.

He's got the reason.

Plus great mustache.

Oh yeah.

The walrus mustache.

Love it.

And either Andy Reed is one of our greatest commercial comedic actors in the world.

Or he has no idea that they are filming him.

It's one of the other for me.

Coach Reed is not known for doing commercials.

But in the last couple of years with the Chiefs winning and everything he's been doing more.

And there's like one or two that aren't that great.

But the majority of them are hilarious.

Yes.

Just hilarious.

He's outacting everybody on the set.

I don't know if he's always had this in him.

I don't even know if he knows he's being filmed.

I don't know.

Yeah.

I love them.

And I like coach Reed.

Second favorite action star of all time for me.

Bruce Willis is 70.

Oh.

I remember they Bruce.

The return of Bruno.

You know, go ahead and listen to some Bruce Willis.

No, what?

No.

That's what you tell him to do.

No.

You weirdo.

Go ahead and watch any number of.

You know, one of the things that I like about guys like him about Bruce Willis.

Almost everybody has a favorite Bruce Willis role or movie.

And I say go ahead and watch some scenes from that today.

Yeah.

All of them.

Perfect element for me.

It's a perfect one.

It's a perfect choice.

A very odd role for him is.

It was.

His agent told him not to do it.

And like being Bruce Willis.

No.

I'm going to do it.

If anything, he might have done it because of that in some ways.

It's the whole blinding him up thing.

Yeah.

He looks so different with blonde hair.

It's just weird.

He's fantastic.

Oddly enough, like some actors, it only in that debt.

Not only they can't pull it off, but it just doesn't look right or whatever.

Look fine on him.

Yeah, he looked fine.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He could have gone with that more.

That I can never be blonde.

I look terrible as a blonde.

My mother said that.

Yeah.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I think I'm trying to think about it now.

And I'm like, I don't know.

To her credit, I was wearing a blonde wig at the time.

So she had a complete, you know, like she really, that was her opinion.

Okay, well, there you go.

With the visual right in front of her.

She's like, no, no, no, no.

You should never wear that.

No, don't do that.

Yeah.

I do, I make a point to never argue with moms.

Just period, just period, whatever it is.

I don't know.

I think he's one of the, I don't think you could talk about the history of acting and not

bring up Bruce Willis.

I think he's that big of an actor.

There's so many good movies that he is in.

That are good because he's in them.

His career is amazing.

And I think one of the best ways to honor him is paying attention to what he's going through

right now and his moments of clarity and how he spends them like with his daughters,

his family.

Yeah.

The story to me more in him should also be noted.

While there were some rough times there and everything, those two really came back around

to just focusing on the kids and being good parents.

And regardless of how much they might disagree or things that were said in the tabloids

or anything, they always cleared the air.

Hey, what's going on here?

Talking face to face.

Not on the phone, face to face.

And I've heard both of them talk about this in interview.

So that's just what I'm saying here is repeating that.

And focusing on the kids.

It's a good example of that.

And also one of the few times you see that in Hollywood couples where they actually are friends

still and everything.

Yeah.

And it's not common.

The last time we saw Bruce Willis recently, he was having a moment of clarity, was in the morning.

And he was spending time thinking Los Angeles firefighters.

That's what he was doing with his time.

Very cool.

Glenn Close is 78.

Oh, wow.

Fabulous actor.

My God, one of the actors.

He is so good.

My God, one of the actors.

Glenn Close can both like have me in the palm of her hand and at the same time scare me.

Like she is one of the few actors I can say that about.

She's good.

Ruth Pointer is 79.

Pointer sisters.

Oh, yeah.

Yes.

Fire.

He's so shy.

Slow hand.

Jump.

Automatic.

New trondance.

I'm so excited.

I did not give the Pointer sisters nearly enough credit.

I did not realize I knew all of those songs.

Right.

I never really thought about it all together before.

But I couldn't tell you who sang them all.

No, no.

And they all came from the same neighborhood that Ricky Henderson and a whole bunch of other

famous people from Oakland, the one neighborhood in Oakland.

That one neighborhood in Oakland.

Amazing people came out of there.

Yeah.

My buddy Will is like from four blocks from there.

And it drives him crazy.

It drives him nuts.

We joke about it all.

It actually has been a while.

But we used to joke about it all the time.

I got to bring it back up tonight.

Well, by the way.

I got to open it.

I got to open it right there.

Who's who's from your neighborhood?

Who's who?

Some people no longer with us.

Paul Atkinson born in this day in 1946.

Zombies, lead singer.

Or well, a songwriter.

And part of the zombies.

Yeah.

Because they had a different singer.

Yeah.

Colin Blumstone was their lead singer.

But he was part of the group.

Yeah.

Teller knows she's not there.

Time of the season.

wrote some good songs though.

Yeah.

Amazing songs.

Yeah.

She's not there.

I love that song.

I don't know why.

I just always love that song.

Oh, listen.

Oh, oh, oh.

You got to listen.

There's a spot where Colin Blumstone mumbles some lyrics.

Hmm.

And you have to be careful.

And listen very carefully.

Well, he's talked about that.

He said it was like four in the morning.

They had been working all night long.

They couldn't get it.

And he gets to this part.

He forgot the lyrics.

And but that was the take they went with.

Because that was the best one.

That's funny.

Wow.

That's funny.

I wonder what it was like in concert.

You know, when he was doing the concert.

What did he actually say?

What does he say there?

I don't know.

Maybe got it clear in the concert.

That's a missed heard lyrics.

Yes.

Oh, I love.

That's a great category.

Crap.

Best missed heard lyrics.

Carlyce go over that one.

Oh, let's see here.

Fred Berry born in this day in 1951.

Pestway in 03.

Re-run.

Freddie re-run stubs from what's happening.

Oh.

Nice.

He loved the beanie.

Oh, my God.

Yeah.

Yeah.

A man re-run.

Yeah.

God, what's happening?

It just took a long time.

It just took a long time, man.

It was.

There was no real plot to that show.

There was it, Eddie.

Unlike, like, good times or Sanford and Son or some of these where it was all about the

plot.

Right.

Right.

Like, the story really revolved around the jobs or that kind of thing or good times the family.

Yeah.

I don't know what's happening was about.

I don't know what was happening.

I don't know what was happening.

I don't know what was happening.

I just remember loving it.

I just remember loving the show.

Oh, the dancing.

Oh.

Yeah.

Yes.

The dancing.

And born in this day in 1848, passed away in 1939, legendary US, Marshall, tombstone, Arizona.

Why it, erp?

Why it, erp?

Why he lived that long?

There is, um, it's interesting as we are learning more and more in combing through history,

how we are, uh, understanding these legends of history more and how some like in Shakespeare's

case, we're not sure if it was one person or multiple people, um, there are certain things

that we're learning.

We're like, oh, I don't know.

The history of this person or this individual is very different than what I might have thought

of.

Wider, same, same, hadn't changed, hasn't changed, yeah, and understandably so, uh, if you

want to know what, uh, what a true legend, what a law man truly was, look at these meant,

these gentlemen back then and look at what white erp accomplished, um, not a perfect human

being, but perfect for the day, perfect for the job and perfect for tombstone, Arizona.

Uh, I may romanticize these people a little bit.

I'll admit that, I'll admit that, I'll admit that a little bit, I'll tell you one thing

about Wider, his legacy was very much protected by his last wife, he was married like four

times, uh, so, but his final wife was very protective of his legacy.

So that's some of us, you know, the remote romanticizing that was, uh, because of that.

So, yep.

Josephine Erp.

Yes.

That's right.

We will take a time out.

We'll come back.

We'll have some more fun.

We got a couple of things to get to and, of course, our wicked awesome word of when's

that wicked awesome coming up on the morning.

Show.

Welcome back, everybody.

Morning show at WFHR, locally grown radio, of y'all are having a great one out there,

everybody.

Um, Melissa, Seth and James here with you, we're going to have some fun in the next couple

of minutes here.

We'll be joined by our friends from quality post printing with our wicked awesome word

of Wednesday looking forward to that.

Some fun stuff lined up for you in the nine o'clock hour, including some breaking news.

We're going to give us a little bit of time to go ahead and put this together a little

bit.

But the WBAs, the Wisconsin Broadcaster Association, I had some announcements recently.

Yes.

Maybe getting into that entertainment section, listening to find out, um, could become

some fun stuff coming up.

Yeah.

Popular YouTuber Mark Roper is going viral after he tested a Tesla self driving feature to

see if it could handle some loony tunes technology.

He blocked a road with a fake wall, the size of a movie screen and painted it to look

like the road kept going.

He wanted to see if it would trick the Tesla into crashing through it and it did.

Oh, the car never slowed down.

Oh, whoa.

Aye, aye, aye.

Now the road runner had no trouble with this.

The road runner was able to figure this out, but apparently Tesla's, it's too much

for a Tesla.

Yeah.

Too bad.

I don't, I'm going to say something very unpopular right now.

Oh.

We don't think we've earned self driving cars.

Yeah.

Oh, that's a, that's an interesting way of looking at it just because we have the technology

does not mean that it needs to be used.

Right.

Like there might be uses for it in society.

Yeah.

But it doesn't mean to be everyday use.

Right.

Uh, it doesn't, I don't, I don't, I, I understand how some people might not like that

of everything.

And I'm not, I'm not saying that it's, you know, going to win, win me popularity contest,

but I don't know that we've earned it.

I don't really feel like we have.

It's a little like how I feel about flying cars, we, we can't even get planes to get

along.

Like, you want to put a bunch of cars up there?

Oh, dude.

Huh.

We can't, we can't even, like, we, like, I'll tell you what, we can go, give me, give

me a week, give me a week, we know car accidents, just go week, one week, one week, that's

it.

One week.

Yeah.

And, you know, we start talking about this a little bit more.

Yeah.

I feel like we have not earned this.

Right.

And I'm not saying that there should be somebody who judges whether we've earned this

or not.

I'm talking about as a society.

Yeah.

We kind of decide, you know what?

We haven't earned this yet.

Yeah.

Well, and, and I think, you know, like the, the, the true self driving cars, I don't

obviously, we're not there yet with some of the stuff we've seen.

You know, some of the, the things that help you like stay in your lane, you know, help

you park and that stuff, that's cool, you know, that's that can, that can help, you

know, alleviate some accidents, you know, that if they, it's warning you, oh, you're

going out of your lane, baby, baby, you know, that kind of thing.

But the whole, yeah, self driving car thing.

Yeah.

No, thanks.

We're not there.

Well, and, and, you know, with self driving cars, that's one thing.

I want a car that pays for itself.

Hey, how about that, especially with how much it's costing to do certain things like

parking.

Any, it's in, so there is a park, a single parking lot spot in Boston that just hit the

market for $7,500.

It's in a parking garage in Beacon Hill around the corner from Boston Common and right

by the famous Cheers Bar.

If 750 grand for a parking spot sounds like a lot, a lot, it's actually more than that.

The garage also charges $400 a month in fees and the property taxes are $291 a month.

Whoa.

And if you think no one would be crazy enough to, to pay for that parking spot, it looks

like there's already at least one buyer, red friend list as contingent.

So the owner accepted an offer, but it's not finalized.

Right.

The site, car scoops says the same parking spot sold in 2023 for over five G's.

Oh my God.

Insanity.

Man.

Insanity.

You, you hear every once in a while about those people that they get an apartment in New

York, that they're like, that they, they, they have had kind of like grandfathered in

rent wise control and control, yeah, they're paying $750 a month or whatever for an apartment

in like right across the street from Central Park or something like that.

You hear about that every once in a while, right?

Um, I don't know why this reminds me of this, but it reminds me of the craziness of some

of these things in bigger cities might as well live there, live in a parking spot, just

live there.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You don't have to pay for anything else.

Well, even that, you'd probably have to share with two other roommates.

You know, they're like, they're all living in a van.

Yeah.

No.

See, see, Farley was way ahead of this.

Yeah, you was.

By the revot soon, we will all be living in vans down by the river.

Farley was trying to warn us.

He was trying to warn us.

Matt Foley was trying to warn us this whole time.

Um, I, I, I, I, I got to actually, I was going to do this.

I don't think we'll have time entertainment section, but while we're waiting for Phil here,

I'll go ahead and throw this in there, got the chance to see a little bit of the Americans,

the show on peacock that one of our listeners, Kev suggested and everything to our audience.

Tom Hanks narrates it.

I got to watch it.

And I, I will, I will say in all honesty with everybody, it's one of the most beautiful,

like, nature documentaries I've ever seen.

And at least four times in watching two episodes, no, five times I said, I've never seen

that before.

Oh, wow.

From seeing a, a, a, a pinkish like snake in Mexico to seeing an eagle, a barrel roll in

the sky.

Oh, cool.

And it's done in slow mo.

And it's, and it's not, not spoiling anything.

I feel funny saying that there with a nature documentary about, but with, but to the,

do you know what Eagles could do?

I didn't know that five o'clock, I learned so much, it was so amazing.

And, and not for nothing, Tom Hanks, you know, and nobody out there is going to say

that Tom Hanks is one of the best actors they've ever seen.

I don't care how old you are, how many movies, TV shows you've seen, everyone of us is

pretty much saying that.

It is not fair that this man is also maybe the greatest narrator I've ever heard.

His punctuation, his, his, his timing, his pace, the way that he just kind of leads into

things and teases stuff and everything.

So much emotion.

Hmm.

He's, it's not fair.

It's not fair.

Mr. Hanks.

It's just to whatever he wants.

It's like, man, the man is, is up there like he should be retired, he should be leaving

work for others.

No.

He obviously loves it so much because I want, I want to ask Tom Hanks, yeah, right, I

want to ask Tom Hanks and I'm sure he'd be honest about this.

What can't you do?

And he, I'm sure he'd like, give you a few things like he's really bad at and just, just

out for, for humor sake of nothing else.

We've seen him do literally just about everything except action.

Uh, okay.

Well, well, uh, Joe, Joe, first of all, cano and man with one red, one red shoe, we're

a little action.

Little, yeah.

And, uh, splash, he's doing a bit of running, he's doing a little bit, doing a little

bit.

Like, like, in first goppy runs a lot, but, uh, but it's just running though.

It's just running.

It's just running.

It's nothing, you know, nothing, jumping through windows or anything.

What are action movies?

It's just running.

It's just a bunch of running, it's, I like the idea of that.

Yeah, right.

Yeah.

All action movies are just basically running.

Right.

It's all it is.

Running and explosions.

That's it.

We just summarized it.

Every unit put a super cut of just running.

I mean, if all that has to happen to qualify it as a Christmas movie, is that it happens

in the Christmas season, why wouldn't run it?

I hate you got a valid, you got a valid point there, Melissa.

It's a fair point.

A good argument.

I'll take it.

Let's have, here's some more fair points for my great friends over at Quality Plus Printing,

getting your words out here in Wisconsin Rapids.

They join us every Wednesday, whether we could also word a Wednesday, Phil, how you

doing?

Hey, good morning.

Come before the storm.

Yeah, that's right.

Yeah.

A nice reminder to everybody out there, get done what you need to now, so you're not,

you don't have to be out in that mess.

Get over to Quality Plus Printing now, get on over there now.

We can actually hear you walk into this bill store from Phil's, we get air, we get air

here from this.

That's kind of fun.

I'll be outside, we're trying to blow the storm north of us.

Thank you, Phil.

I appreciate it.

Now, to be fair, Phil's from Maine, he knows what he's doing.

That's true.

Yeah.

That's true.

This a lot in Maine.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Phil, how are things going at the shop?

Oh, doing really well.

No, staying busy, golf season comes over a lot of business from San Valley over the

last couple days.

Awesome.

And in our friends over at the doctors, Ken's been in several times getting ready

for the baseball season.

Hopefully after today.

Nice.

Yeah.

Hopefully.

I was driving past Winterfield the other day and saw the bunch of the boys out in the

outfield throwing, just playing catch, but in your uniforms out there playing catch,

it was all, man, it was good to see.

Nice.

Yeah.

Wonderful.

So spring activities are spring summer activities that are starting to give us our busy

again, too.

Anyway, we do a lot of business with the local restaurants in town, too.

So Kathy might as is over here yesterday, and then we help them with their menus, and

we do a lot of local menus.

The Tracy helps design them, and of course, we print them up here.

So, you know, they're all kind of some of them are changing their menus and getting ready

for spring and summer as well.

So kind of neat to see everybody starting to get all the hopefully a little off to the

stuff.

Hopefully.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Right on.

I've been chewing on this one for a little bit, and I did not get a chance to bring it up

last week, but I'll bring it up right now since we have a second.

We've been thinking about intro music for this segment.

What about word up?

Word up.

Word up.

I feel like it's sitting right now.

Word up.

Yeah.

But just that.

That's all we do.

Just one little clip.

Just one little clip.

Just one little clip.

Just one little clip.

Just one little clip.

Just one little clip.

Yes.

That is.

No.

Good call, Phil.

You're right.

Good call, man.

Yeah.

We'll work on that.

We'll work on that.

Phil, we also want to encourage everybody to get us their hometown heroes.

We have incorporated this another part of quality plus printing, and with we have incorporated

Phil is collecting local hometown heroes and giving us a hero of the month kind of

thing that we've been having a lot of fun with.

Yeah.

Get my shirt and some recognition and let them know what they matter.

So we have to bring it on.

And bring it on.

Yeah.

All you got to do is write up a couple of sentences about one of our local hometown favorites

and go ahead and send that to us or Phil and, you know, if you send it to us, we'll

make sure Phil gets it.

And maybe we get you on the air here.

One of our hometown heroes.

We have a lot of fun with this one.

Yeah.

See you too.

Phil, what is our wicked awesome word of Wednesday?

Oh, look at that.

It goes off.

Hey, when that happens.

I made a watch dilemma and went off here when you said that.

It seems to have been tibing yet.

So it is.

I'm going to hopefully say that's right.

Propecious.

Oh.

Mm-hmm.

That's right.

You said it right.

Propecious.

Yeah.

Propecious.

Yeah.

That's a tough one.

I asked you if you want to say profitious purposes.

Those P-R-O-P-I-D-I-O-U-S. Propecious.

And basically means favorable.

Things are going your way type of stuff.

Propecious.

All right.

Nice.

Very good.

Mm-hmm.

Very cool.

Yeah.

So yeah, hopefully the Raptors will have a profitious year.

I think they're going to have a profitious year.

Yeah.

Very good.

We're hoping for that.

We're hoping you guys too, as well, fill over a quality

plus.

That's a fun one.

Yeah.

I was thinking, when Phil says these,

I try to spell them out in my head.

This one, I didn't even try.

Yeah.

No, no.

Oh, this is not filled to take care of this one, right?

Yeah.

All right.

At the background that I went over it

like 10 times before I called, and it's still

I'm going to say it wrong.

So.

I appreciate it, Phil.

I appreciate you being brave and taking

out of that one, for you.

And we appreciate this community supporting those that

support us and support this community like quality

plus printing.

We say by local support local, we're

talking about businesses like quality plus printing.

Be sure to support them with all your printing needs

hand on over there.

And after you're done working with them,

be sure to leave a comment in their reviews and stuff.

Let other people know that you appreciate the work

they're doing and buy local support local.

Phil, we appreciate you.

Yeah, right back at you guys, thanks for bringing

the local out to everybody over the airways

every morning in a fun way.

So I appreciate you guys too.

And you're right.

Helping out a local business, what's all about?

We look to do that every chance we can.

How can we partner?

How can we help each other market and keep people

buying here local?

So yeah, it's a big deal.

And then listening locals, a big deal too.

We appreciate you, man.

Have a great one.

We'll talk next Wednesday.

And be sure to follow them on social media.

Their Facebook page is fantastic.

Be sure to follow them on that one.

Yeah, we'll take a time out.

We're going to come back and we're going to talk about what

common dreams have we all had.

Common dreams.

Yeah, coming up on the morning show.

Welcome back, everybody.

Morning show at WFHR, locally grown radio.

Melissa, Seth, and James hanging out with you.

Thanks so much for joining us.

We're going to kick off the 9 o'clock hour

with some entertainment news and some breaking news.

We're going to talk a little WBAs with Wisconsin

Broadcaster Association kicked out there, finalists.

Is the correct term for that, yes.

So we'll get into that a little bit later.

Right now, it is sleep awareness week.

What's that again?

And we're just talking a little bit about this.

And no one has the exact same dreams.

That would be a little weird.

But there are certain types of dreams

that lots of people have had.

A casual poll online asks people if they've experienced

these 12 dream themes, over 20,000 people weighed in

and here are the results.

Okay.

A dream where you're being chased,

89% of people have had that one.

Okay.

Yep, I'm there.

I've been chased in many of my dreams that I remember.

I haven't had that, but I've had dreams

of people coming at me.

And I'm not running from it.

So I don't know what is that mean.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, I'm running.

I'm running.

It was actually very recent that I had that one.

So I don't know.

I don't know.

A dream about falling, 87% of people have had that dream.

I've really never had that dream.

Me neither.

Really?

No.

I've had a few.

I like, I like falling?

No.

Oh my God.

I've always wanted to go skydiving.

Okay.

So that's not a scary thing for me.

Okay.

A dream about someone who really hurt you,

75% of us have had that one.

Yes.

I believe that is.

Yeah.

Sadly, but yes.

I'm sure it's your subconscious working through some stuff

is my guess.

So yeah.

And certainly we always look for audience participation

in these kind of topics.

Feel free to call up.

Join the conversation.

Call us and tell us what terrifies you at night.

Right.

Right.

Yeah.

It's a good point, boys.

Yeah.

What monsters come to you in your dreams?

Yes.

Maybe you want to text it in.

That's good too.

A dream about running late to something super important,

72% of it that one.

Yes.

Usually it's, I need to be on stage for something

and I have no idea what show it is

or I haven't reviewed my lines in months.

Oh, oh, Melissa, I have had that every show I've been in

before I have it.

I have that same dream with about that show,

whatever it is that I have that, yeah.

It's like, oh, I'm not ready.

I'm not going on stage and I'm not ready.
