Dance Hall Days (Hour 2)

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

Got your host, James behind the mic, joined by Melissa. Good morning, Seth. Good morning, and the best listeners and radio.

Thanks for hanging out with us, everybody. We hope you're having a great start to your Friday out there. Happy Friday, everybody. Yeah.

It's Friday. Yeah.

I honestly, I'm going to keep saying it just to remind myself and Melissa.

Yeah. I think we both keep forgetting. I don't know how Melissa knows what day it is ever.

It's true. There's no the show going on and all the traveling you did this week and yeah, craziness.

My teeth are clean. That's good. That's always positive. We have to talk about my chapsic collection, you guys. Oh, no, what happened? It increased.

Oh, no. Okay. I was at my dentist. Oh, that's right. We have to bring this up later because I got to go get them.

Okay. Okay. We'll bring it up later. We'll bring it up at such a Friday show. We'll bring it up a little bit later, but definitely that way we want to hear the rest of that one.

So diving into some entertainment news now. Tom Cruise was at Cinecon in Las Vegas yesterday to present footage from Mission Impossible, the final reckoning, the arguably from what they're saying.

And he's saying the last mission impossible. There's another mission impossible. Yeah. Yeah. How many is that now?

Oh, God. It's a lot. I think this is the eighth. I think this is the seventh goodness. What are we doing? Fast and furious here? I'm pretty much trying to.

But before he got started, he took a moment to pay tribute to Val Kilmer. And again, I do this all the time, maybe more with him than anybody else.

You can make the argument. Tom Cruise is the biggest box office star of all time and his numbers back that up with his movies and how they do in the box office and all that, especially considering he's still working.

Harrison Ford for decades held that spot because of the Indiana Jones movies, the Star Wars movies, the Jack, Jack Ryan movies.

So many of those that he had, I'm pretty confident Tom Cruise is top that by now. And certainly there is a billion things we could spend talking about him off the off the stage.

And all of that is noteworthy and I'm not making light of any of it. But I will say that I like to get credit where it's due, especially in these situations.

I think we need to be better about that in society, especially on a one on one level with our fellow, you know, people we work worth and we run into in day and day to day life.

So if we can do it with celebrities, maybe we can do it a little bit more with each other. And I don't know maybe more with our politicians and with our law enforcement and some of this.

It's important to be able to separate these things.

And say what you will about Tom Cruise. He gets these moments right. He really does.

He really seems to.

Now, whether it is a little bit of the showman in him and the actor in him, somebody writing it for him, any of these things, honestly, I don't care.

The moment is met and that's what we ask of our people in these positions. And he said, quote, I can't tell you how much I admired his work and him as a human being.

How grateful and honored I was that he joined Top Gun and came back for Top Gun Maverick. I think it would be really nice if we could just have a moment altogether and just take a moment because he loved movies.

He gave us a lot, gave us all with his performances with his films. If we could just all take a moment and just think about all the wonderful times that we had with him.

After that moment of silence and he made sure it was a moment.

Thank you, Val. I wish you well on your next journey.

And those two had a uncomplicated relationship. They both knew who each other were and respected that, liked it.

And Tom, Val Kilmer was not going to do the original Top Gun. Tom Cruise really got him to do it.

It's odd because you would think it might be the other way around if anything. But then the second one comes around and everything.

And Val Kilmer has all but retired from acting. He has voice problems, suffered from a lot of health issues lately.

Tom Cruise would not do the film without Val. He was adamant about this.

As adamant as he was and as much as we talked about him refusing to let it go into theaters during COVID or releasing it online.

And he bet on that and he was right. There's a lot of people smarter than me that will tell you he saved the movie industry in that regard after COVID.

This movie doesn't even happen really in many ways without him wanting to agree with this.

This is one of the first agreements that they had when they were first pitching the script and all that.

And without it, we don't get one more performance of Val Kilmer.

Yep. I'm going to be honest with everybody. I still haven't seen Top Gun Maverick.

I'm going to try to watch it either this week or one of these weekends coming up just so I can see Val Kilmer one more time.

That is his last role. That's right.

For me, it's the saint and the ghost and the darkness.

I'm going to try to go back and watch those.

I love the saint. In part, I was accused.

Oh, and Willow. You can't forget Willow.

Willow, maybe the greatest hair in movie history.

I'm sure it was a wig, but anyway, yes.

Yes, absolutely.

No, with both of those movies, I love the saint. I'm a huge Elizabeth Shio fan.

It's how I discovered what cold fusion was and interesting.

I'd never heard of it before.

And I thought it was a sci-fi thing.

In the rest of my life, I'll be researching and looking into cold fusion.

Not like actual scientists, but just as somebody who is very interested in that topic.

And it's a well-done movie.

I think it's a really amazing soundtrack, too.

It was hit, too.

And I'm kind of surprised that it didn't do more, actually.

But anyway, yes.

But the ghost and the darkness is maybe not the greatest movie you'll ever see,

but it's an important one. It's based on a true story.

And it's the movie that got Val Kilmer out of the Batman franchise.

It is.

It was the first movie that he had an opportunity to do that with Michael Douglas,

one of the finer actors any of us will ever see, had a chance to do the island of Dr. Monroe with Marlon Brando,

and then heat with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino.

And he turned down the Batman next Batman movie to do those.

Yes.

And while he got to do those movies, you didn't get to see Val much after that

because he got blackballed by Hollywood.

Because he offended Joe Schumacher.

And how dare he turned down Batman to do those movies.

And he did it and he, you know, there are interviews.

You can hear him talk about this.

He did it because, well, I got into this to be great.

And the way you get great is working with other greats.

So yeah, he do Batman and make two times what he would have from all three of those movies.

Or he did the thing we ask of entertainers, get better.

Care about this. Don't just phone it in.

Don't just be a caricature.

You didn't see Val Kilmer late in his life,

even when he was healthy doing caricatures of his characters or anything like that.

In fact, you could say he was still pushing himself.

Kiss, kiss, bang, bang is one of his best performances

and he's working his tail off of that movie.

Robert Downey Jr.

I admire that part of his life so much

and I will, it's one of my benchmarks of my life learning about that.

And being like, yes, yes, that's what it's about.

When I was looking up, because I wanted to know more about him when I heard that he had passed.

And I found out that I think he always held movies at arm's length.

He was very much a stage actor, very much in his career.

He always went back to the stage, which a lot of people don't know,

because he didn't just go to Broadway.

He went everywhere. He did his stuff in L.A.

He did stuff everywhere.

So I don't think that the movie star thing was big for him.

I mean, I'm sure he liked the money and all that that came along with it.

I think that for the acting, I think the theater was more his first love.

Well, and I think he showed that later in his movie career

with some of his movie choices of what he did too.

And one of his last performances was on...

I don't know if it was Broadway or off Broadway,

but it was a Ten Commandments.

He played Moses in the Ten Commandments.

Yeah, the musical.

By the way, tremendous singer.

Yeah, I mean, he played Jim Morrison.

And he sang all the songs.

He didn't even mention the doors.

I know.

I don't think I've mentioned that in the whole week

that I'm talking about him.

Yeah, that.

Just an incredible human being.

Yeah, he was.

This was announced on April Fool's Day,

but it is not a prank.

It is just Dolly Parton being Dolly.

Dolly Parton is Selon Jeans, everybody.

And the S there called Joe Leans.

Oh, no.

The pants are available for a limited time

through the Kardashian label.

Good America.

Good American starting today.

That's the name of the company, I guess.

Right.

Yeah.

You can get them online and in select Nordstrom stores.

And they are not cheap, of course.

Of course not.

Dolly says, quote, they make any butt look good.

Yeah.

If you've got any.

She went on on this one, guys, because it's Dolly.

She's not going to put on airs or anything.

No.

God, I wish I could do a good Dolly impression.

It's too hard.

Because me quoting Dolly Parton is going to sound hilarious.

Okay, I'm just going to do it.

They make any butt look good, especially if you've got a good butt,

they look great.

If you've got just an okay butt, they still look great.

Just an okay butt, all right.

Incredible.

Incredible human being.

Uh, whatever.

Well done.

I don't care what anybody says about this.

I think this is fantastic.

There is something about Dolly.

And this is what I think is so cool of the Carnival Barker in her.

Yes.

Yes.

And I think that is just tremendous.

She has never shied away from that side of her personality.

And she will tell you that little trashy side that, you know,

it's part of where she grew up.

And she has never gotten rid of that.

She's kept it all this time.

And that's why I think it's just, that's tremendous.

I love it.

But she manages to make it cute.

Yes.

Yes.

Absolutely.

Which is not something that you can always most women can't pull off.

No.

She can do it.

The charm that she has.

She is so charming.

Oh my gosh.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I really don't think there's anything she could not sell.

I really don't.

That's just incredible.

And not for nothing with what she's been through lately and everything.

I was a little worried that we might not hear or see her as much.

Yeah.

Just even seeing this.

That's fantastic.

Yes.

That's great.

That's great.

It's fun.

Also one of the touch on this one.

And let everybody know that I may not be here for a couple months or something.

I might be filming.

I am trying out and I'm in the running for a important piece that I think is very good.

And I want to put my time and energy and money into it.

The Looney Tunes franchise is doing a coyote versus acne movie.

And I want to play the coyote.

I have been training my whole life for this.

This is the movie.

I cannot tell you how many times I've fallen down or I've walked into walls.

It's a good thing you don't use dynamite on a regular basis.

And I've even got some experience with this.

I ran into a road runner once.

I did.

I've seen an actual live road runner in front of me.

It is close to Seth's.

Yeah.

There you go.

So I feel like I don't want to, you know, I don't feel bad for the other actors trying out for this and everything.

But I feel like I got a little bit of a win.

I got it.

Oh.

You got it in.

Warner Brothers spent 70 million making the movie in which Wiley Coyote finally sews Acme Company

over the many faulty products that hindered his attempts to capture the road runner.

He blew him up every time.

Yes.

But they shelved it as a part of a write-off.

They did.

But remember that.

But they had a change of heart and sold it to a company called Catch Up Entertainment.

Which is going to put it in theaters.

There's no word win.

The movie is a mix of animation and live action.

It stars Will Forte and John Cena.

Wow.

It's kind of like the Roger Rabbit one.

Yes.

Yes.

That's a perfect, perfect convalescent.

That is exactly what I've heard people comparing it.

That have seen daily's of it and everything.

I've been here like Seth was saying.

I've heard this for years about this movie.

It's the first time I heard about it.

I swear to God it was in the late 90s when I first heard about this.

I didn't realize.

I didn't think they were ever.

Anyone was ever going to see this.

That's really cool.

Yeah.

That they're finally releasing it.

Yeah.

I hope that we see more of this because there are so many movies that we don't see that this happens with.

And the movie companies are fine because they've got insurance and everything.

But for every actor that put their time and energy into it and it never got seen.

I was like a waste.

And I admit I'm a little sensitive about this one.

Yes.

That's happened to me.

But it's also great for just fans and people to be able to see these things.

I think it's pretty cool.

Oh yeah.

Seth, it's based on the 1990 The New Yorker Magazine article.

Coyote versus Acme.

God, this has been that long.

The infrasure.

Should be good.

I hope it's good.

I hope it's good.

I'm going to see it either way.

All right.

I would honestly like to see this in the theater.

It might be one of those ones.

Yeah.

I don't know.

I'm a big Will Forte fan.

He's good.

He's good.

The development began in August of 2018.

Okay.

Will Forte when he gets angry is on the level of like Farley and those.

Like even better than Will Farrell at that stuff, I think.

As popular as Will Farrell is some of that.

How cool is he to Bob Odenkirk?

Who's my favorite about that?

Oh.

That's a tough one.

Bob's the top.

Bob's got to be the top.

Yeah.

It's Bob and Farley.

One, two, one, a, one, b.

And he's probably in the top five.

There you go.

There you go.

All right.

Top five, top 10.

I'm like, especially.

Who is in it too?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And what's new in your small screen?

What's new in your email box?

Let's get into that real quick before we wrap up the entertainment section.

Here Friday, tonight on Hulu, dying for sex.

Starting Michelle Williams as a woman who is, I mean, she actually, she is diagnosed with stage four cancer.

And it's, it's more about that.

Gotcha.

Okay.

It catches you.

It catches your eye.

Jenny Slade is also in it.

She's really good.

I like her.

Let's see here.

Austin City Limits is celebrating 50 years tonight on PBS at 8 o'clock.

Wow.

Man, still one of the great music shows out there.

I remember when I worked at a public television station.

And I worked on the weekends.

I always made sure I turned out Austin City Limits.

I was there.

Yeah.

Always good.

On Saturday Live this weekend, Jack Black hosts with Elton John and Brandy Carlyle is music.

Yes.

Holy cow.

Oh, boom.

Wow.

There are already the cast and people online have been like, they've been in rehearsals and everything are talking about how Jack Black is maybe the perfect host

they've ever had.

Like, makes sense.

Yeah.

He's built for this.

He's built for this.

He's been doing his whole life.

Yes.

Literally.

And speaking of Bob Odenkirk and celebrating David Cross's birthday and Mr. Show, the first time I saw Jack Black was in a Mr. Show sketch.

Right.

And one of the first things he appeared in.

He stole the show.

Stole the scene.

Stole it out.

He's incredible.

Yeah.

Elton John and Brandy Carlyle have been actually creating work in Brandy.

It was Elton's partner, writing partner.

Brandy Topping.

Brandy Topping.

The three of them have been working together quite a bit.

And they haven't really been talking about this a lot.

But Brandy Carlyle has put a couple things out there.

I respect Sir Elton and all of that.

I am a gigantic Brandy Carlyle fan.

And I love the idea of these three working together.

Yeah.

I think they're releasing an entire album of stuff they worked on together, which is really cool.

And you can hear some of that on Sunday night at 7 o'clock.

And evening with Elton John and Brandy Carlyle is on CBS.

There you go.

And Sir Elton, man, he's still working.

He's amazing.

Where does he get all the energy from, man?

Yeah.

The third season finale of The White Lotus is on HBO.

I mean, people love that show.

I don't get it.

I have no idea what it is.

I have no interest.

No clue.

But teach their own.

New in theaters.

I mentioned this earlier.

A Minecraft movie.

Jason Momoa.

Jack Black star in this one.

Yeah.

It's all based, of course, on the Minecraft movie.

And limited released friend.

Naomi Watts plays a writer who reluctantly adopts a great day and after the passing of her best friend, Bill Murray.

Interesting.

I'd like to see this one.

Yes.

Yes.

Sounds interesting.

Yeah.

Naomi Watts doesn't work a ton.

She picks scripts.

And when she picks something, usually it's pretty good.

She's always fabulous.

Yes, she is.

No matter what she's doing.

Yeah.

And I really have enjoyed Bill Murray, the serious actor.

Again, where so many actors are going parody and playing caricatures of themselves.

Bill Murray going back to loss and translation has done nothing but push himself.

He's like the opposite direction.

Yeah.

And a movie that's getting a lot of hype behind the scenes.

The luckiest man in America.

Paul Walter Howzer stars in the true story of an ice cream truck driver who charmed his way into the game show.

Press your luck in 1984.

And one episode took them for the biggest payday in a game show history.

Still to this day.

Really?

Macy Williams from Game of Thrones is in this one.

David Statham is a straight turn.

Amazing character.

I love David Strand.

Yeah.

We don't see him enough, man.

No.

And Walter Goggins is really good in this too.

Yeah.

Because the game show host.

Oh, Walter Goggins.

Thank you.

I always do that.

Walter Goggins.

Walter Goggins.

Boy, that's a tremendous cast.

Yeah.

Man, I love Walter Goggins.

Based on the true story.

And just the trailer of it had me on the edge of my seat.

Again, another one of these things where I know how it ends.

And it's still.

It's such a cool moment in pop culture history and everything.

Yeah, that's really cool.

Love it.

Welcome back everybody.

Morning show at WFHR.

Locally grown radio.

Seth Melissa, James here with you, thanks so much for joining us everybody.

Hope you're having a good one.

And a little bit after our news break, we're going to come back and talk about how dancing can help relieve stress.

Cool.

Getting into that in a moment.

But this just in, people who use social media most of the day are more irritable.

Wow.

Yes, because social media is annoying.

And I'm also seeing in this article, water is wet.

Yes.

I'm also seeing that.

Ah, here.

Obvious news.

Love us.

More obvious news.

New segment we're doing.

Obvious news.

Thank you, Mr. Obvious.

We're tired of working so hard on this news and everything.

Is water really wet, James?

Or does it mean it is wet when it touches them?

Let's discuss.

Yeah.

Does anyone ever say, man, I was in a bad mood and then I went on social media

and suddenly everything was all joyous and every dream was at such time.

No.

A new study has found that people are significantly more likely to feel irritable, angry and annoyed

the more they consume social media.

Harvard Medical School collected data on how often adults, 18 and older use Instagram,

TikTok, X and Facebook, then they compared people's social media use to how they scored on various mood tests.

Those who said they use social media, quote, most of the day, scored three times higher on the irritability scale

than those who said they never use social media.

To be clear, the study didn't prove casuality.

So social media makes people irritable or irritable people just use social media a lot.

It could be a vicious cycle.

Right.

The researchers say past research, quote, really points in the direction of social media having an impact on externalizing emotions like anger and irritability.

Yeah.

I mean, and that just stands for reason, right?

Right.

It seems that that would make sense.

Right.

Because if you're, you know, taking in those things and then allowing it to affect your attitude and your mood, then yeah, it's gonna.

Quick side note.

Back in the day, when we first started doing this show and everything Carl and I went across, came across a study that Harvard Medical University did about is chocolate addictive.

And we had a very similar response.

Right.

Yeah, water is wet.

Yeah, right.

Like I mean, of course, you know, and everything.

And this is one of the more respected medical schools in all of the world.

Right.

Are they pulling a hustle here?

Are they like, I mean, some of these studies, they're doing over there.

In all seriousness, I think that for some people and for, you know, for many of the people that we're talking about here, having the data, having the facts isn't gonna matter.

It's part of where they are in life.

Right, exactly.

But I do think for those on the fringe, for those on the cusp of things, the more evidence and the more data you can give them that is just down the line and is just numbers, numbers don't lie, numbers don't vote.

They don't care about party sides or anything like that, numbers are just numbers.

The more we can do that, maybe this helps people, maybe this gives people something like that.

I mean, if all you have to, you're had to hang on in life is what some, you know, delusional individual is saying, I don't know what's gonna help you.

But I want, I don't think that it's a smart thing in society to close the door on anything.

Let alone those individuals.

Right.

I encourage those individuals to, you know, push the envelope and to look for things that are factual based and everything.

But, you know, at the same time, you know, anger and irritability are things that, if you're already walking in, if you walk around all day with your fists clenched, you're gonna get in a fight.

Right.

But James, I think that these are also important for, for our young people.

Because take a step back for a minute.

Do you remember being 16, 17, 18 and knowing everything?

Yeah, I'm right.

I did know everything.

You knew everything.

I mean, we all did at that age.

And that's what they're experiencing now.

And having these studies to look at that are unbiased, that are, you know, like this is just factual.

This isn't your mom and dad or your teacher saying social media is bad for you.

This is, you know, actual research, actual numbers, actual science saying, hey, you know, maybe if you take a step back from social media, you won't be so grumpy.

Yeah, right.

Exactly.

And that's important.

No, and I agree with you, Melissa.

And that's, and I think that, you know, we can, we can have a chuckle, you know, with that.

Oh, yeah, of course social media makes you grumpy kind of thing, but it is good to have these studies in the end.

Well, it's also, it's also a new thing for us as humans.

Right.

You know, I mean, this came about halfway through our lives.

These young people, it's been around their entire lives, right?

And think about the next generation after that.

Sure.

And you're going to, you know, happen with them.

It's such an important point and gives us an opportunity, especially those not in that generation to have a moment, have some empathy, have, try to have some understanding about that.

Yeah, right.

And I think it's a world we can't understand.

Nope.

I think it's also noteworthy that there are just, you know, going to be people that are, they call them in this article, rage baiting people who are looking for this.

Yeah.

People thrive off of it, just like some people thrive off drama and creating drama on their lives.

Right.

Again, this is years ago.

And I don't think you guys were, you know, this is long before you guys were here, but I did have an interaction with a listener once.

And they were very upset with me.

And they were, what, part of what they were upset about was that I had not responded to a comment on one of our posts.

And I was like, well, I don't read comments.

And I was like, well, you, but, but you know, well, I figure if you guys got something to say, I give you a million different ways to get in contact with me.

Contact me directly.

I post something, we put something out there, it's out there.

Like the comments, I don't take time on that stuff.

I don't even do that on my own posts.

I don't take a lot of time to read comments and all those things.

Because I believe that if you have something that you really want to be heard, you should be, contact me directly.

Be an adult and reach out to me directly.

That's this, that's the world we live in.

You have a billion different ways you can contact me.

If you want to, a dog that wants to bark, then go and you leave your comment.

Because it's about you. It's not really about anything else.

That's a great point.

It's just about you getting your words out there and being heard and all this.

But if you have something you want to directly say, you can say it right to me.

And to this person when I was having this conversation, so what did you say?

Uh, nothing.

Didn't, didn't want to say it to my face.

Didn't say it to my face.

Then why write it?

Exactly.

If you can't say it to somebody's face, maybe it doesn't need to be set.

Yeah.

Maybe it can stay right there in your dome.

Yep.

And you get what you put into life.

They say in this article and I will, you know, just get behind this.

It's possible to have a more positive experience.

The keys to avoiding over indulging or negativity, quote experts say,

if you truly are spending most of the day on social media, there are probably more beneficial things you can do with your time.

Exactly.

Definitely.

Yeah.

Read a book.

Touch the grass.

Go to coffee with your friends, right?

You know, treat it like.

Have conversations in person.

Yeah.

Those are going to be so important going forward for all of us.

A lot of, a lot of people can relate to this.

I bet when we were kids, Chris and I, my oldest friend, we were at Robinson Park, we were shooting.

And we couldn't leave until we both made our last shot.

Yeah.

I didn't take your last shot.

Yeah, right.

Talking basketball, talking.

Okay.

And I have taken that and used it in life with this show where we will not end the show on a non-positive note.

Right.

We have never done that.

We never will.

We try to do it with every segment.

And I treat social media that way.

If I'm on there and I am seeing something or I am looking into something that gives me a negative vibe or a feeling,

I got a folder in my laptop here that I will pull up of a line and a bear hanging out or a Simpson sketch that gets me every single time.

Right.

The stop at James, you have an entire folder of penguin pictures.

We all know that.

This is true.

Don't out him.

It's very nice.

You know what?

It feels good to get it out there.

It actually feels good to get it out there.

Thank you, Melissa.

Yeah, it actually feels good.

It feels good.

No.

She's not off.

She's not off.

Pictures of penguins are making a few better.

But this is, again, it's something that everybody can do.

And it's a great pellet cleanser.

And these things, these are counters that you have to have in day to day life and maybe with social media.

There you go.

You know, you get what you put into it.

Yep.

Okay.

And we all can make those choices.

You make a choice to look at social media.

Well, you also have to accept the consequences.

That's right.

That's true.

Good point.

And just because the dog barks doesn't mean you got an answer.

We will take a time out.

We will come back and have some more fun on the morning show at WFHR.

Welcome back, everybody.

Morning show at WFHR.

Melissa, Seth and James hanging out with you.

Thanks so much for joining us.

Get into this one.

Is that song got you grooved or moving a little bit?

That's a good thing.

Running or hitting the gym is a great way to relieve stress.

But an activity you might find a little bit more fun could be even better.

A new study found dancing might be the best way to relieve stress.

Because it combines four different natural stress relievers,

music, rhythm, movement, and socialization.

Okay.

Any of those things on their own can help with stress and anxiety,

but combining them is even better.

Dancing to music at home or even in this in your seat

while you're listening to the radio can help.

Dance-based exercise routines are also in very good call.

The article says.

But it's even better when you can dance with other people

and there's physical contact involved.

So go out, cut a rug, this weekend.

Find out if anybody's still saying cut a rug.

I don't care.

I want to bring it back.

And it might help you relax.

Nice.

Do you find the complete article at studyfinds.com?

Studyfinds.com.

Now, very a little bit similar to what we were talking about earlier.

I don't think that this is a shock to anybody out there.

Nobody, you don't fell out of their chair hearing this.

But it's nice to have the science and the numbers backing it up.

Sure.

And I think that at least to me a little bit noteworthy

was the idea of how this can be so good for you on every level

but even better for you in a socialization aspect.

And I didn't think about it that way.

Yes.

I don't know.

I thought that part is pretty unique to this.

You know, the four things that you listed, James,

I think the first three are pretty obvious.

I think most people would do, but the socialization aspect.

I don't think that is talked about enough

about how much of a stress relief that can be.

Just hanging out with people.

And I would even put out there, you know, taking a dance class.

Yes.

Because you're, you know, all those same things are involved.

Exactly.

And yeah, you do have to pay for it typically.

But you're also then, if you're not confident dancing,

that's going to help you.

Exactly.

To be a stereotype of almost every rom-com or anything like that,

I've always wanted to learn like ball dancing,

ballroom dancing.

Yeah.

And, you know, it was the other style.

I can't think of it right now.

There's a lot.

Tap dancing, but all kinds of different things.

Yeah.

All kinds of different things.

Any kind of dancing, I'd like to learn dancing.

Sure, yeah.

I'm going to break dancing.

Yeah, I got that one down.

He's got that one.

But now he danced like that.

He breaks something.

Yeah.

Basically, yes.

And not telling anybody.

Yeah.

I would strongly encourage any men out there to go take a dance class.

Yeah.

Because, number one, you're going to meet people.

Exactly.

And being able to dance is a fantastic skill.

It is.

And not one that many men have now.

Yeah.

Exactly.

Better than any cologne you're going to put on, guys.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Pro tip.

Don't put cologne on before the dance class.

The next thing, yes.

It's very good tips.

Very good tip.

Women, say that more.

Please.

By the way, women never ever compliment a man on his cologne.

Ever.

Yeah.

Because they will then bathe in it.

Double, double the amount.

Don't ever say a guy smells good.

Don't do that.

Take any opportunity to help us also.

But if you do it, maybe quantify.

It's your natural scent that I'm enjoying.

I don't know what this other stuff is.

Exactly.

You're just natural pheromones, really.

Fool them.

Fool them.

I feel like Melissa's been here before.

I feel like this is not a new conversation.

I hope this gets even just even if it's just one more person out there.

I hope it gets people dancing more.

Yeah.

I think more dancing.

Excuse today.

Exactly.

This is, boy.

Has there ever been a sad dancer?

I've never seen one.

It's one of the song's smile.

It's one of those things that I think that even when you're not in a great mood.

I don't know about you guys, but I know that I've been dragged out to a dance floor plenty of times.

And usually left smiling.

Yes.

It's true.

It's hard.

Open your body and you get the rhythm.

All those things you list it.

It's hard to stay sad when you're moving around.

And I understand this is maybe a loan on this one.

I know that there are amazing dancers and great dancers out there.

We've talked about them quite a bit.

I generally don't think there are bad dancers.

No.

I think if you're going to compare them to Gregory Hines, sure.

They may not seem like a great dancer.

He has worked at it.

Yeah.

These people work at it.

This is practice over and over and over again.

Are you out there?

Are you having fun?

Yes.

That's what matters.

That's what matters.

You dance like a lean bandist.

That's fine.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You give people a laugh with nothing else, right?

I would love to know if Julia Louis-Dreyf is kind of actually dance.

I would love to know if she's ever asked her.

No one's ever asked her.

Yeah.

Or she goes so good that she can dance poorly.

Yeah.

Sometimes that has to happen.

Yes.

It's a little like with Woody Harrelson, who are he's incredibly intelligent.

But he played Woody on cheer.

So perfectly.

So perfectly.

I wonder what's like that.

Yeah.

Get out there and dance.

Any chance to get everybody.

It's good for the soul.

Good for you.

It is.

And certainly not only good for the soul, but good for your whole body.

Some things going on in our area.

They want to touch on like one of them going on over at family natural foods next Tuesday,

April 8th, 5 o'clock, digestive health and cleansing.

Dance on over there to that.

Learn from Dr. Tracy, a vital planet.

She will be discussing all things digestive health and cleansing.

Dr. Tracy is so good at this.

So smart.

And just a wonderful natural, you know, present a way she presents these things.

But I think one of her greatest gifts is being able to make such a sensitive topic.

Very just kind of like you're just going to ask.

Yeah.

Especially go to the presentation and you get there for a couple of minutes alone for the whole thing

and stuff.

And when she's taking questions at the end or something, you're going to feel so much more comfortable

and relaxed asking anything that might be a bit uncomfortable question even over the phone.

And a lot of fun too.

Yes.

When is that again?

It is April 8th, 5 o'clock, over at family natural foods and 9, 10 West Grand Avenue,

right here in Rapids.

Next Tuesday.

Next Tuesday.

By local support, local support those in support this community, everybody.

Yes, indeed.

And speaking of which are good friends at the United Way of Southwood in the M County,

you can protect yourself from identity theft by bringing in your sensitive documents,

old tax returns, big statements, and all of the above.

Get them shredded at the community shred day.

That is coming up.

It is Thursday, April 17th from 9 to noon, over at Pervail Bank.

A shout out to them for hosting this.

Now, as Terry will remind you everybody that this goes quick.

Like, you don't want to wait to get to this one and everything.

Yeah, so get there before they fill up.

Exactly.

Bring those sensitive documents and while you're doing that and having the peace of mind

and knowing that your information is shredded, you'll also know that you're doing some good in your community.

Thanks to their sponsors at Bank Account Corp, Pervail Bank,

well, one dollar will be donated to the United Way of Southwood in the M counties

for each pound of paper shredded with a max of two grams.

That adds up quickly.

That adds up very quickly.

Some great stuff going on in their area.

Among those things, those stuff that we mentioned there,

and of course, one of the touch on this one, Southwood County Main Society's soup or spring spectacular.

Having a bullseye golf club, a Saturday, April 12, 10 to 2.

Join them for food, raffle baskets, kids games, music, and more.

All attendees will be entered in a free drawing for a chance to win one of three great door prizes.

Cool.

This is a great one.

Our Humane Society doesn't get a chance to do a lot of these events.

Be sure to show up and get to this one if you get a chance, everybody.

Yeah.

It's going to be a lot of fun.

And they're hoping to have a couple of animals down there with them.

No.

We'll see.

Oh, wonderful.

But it's going to be a great event either way.

And encouraging to make plans right now, market on your calendar and we'll meet you there.

Mm-hmm.

We will take our final time out of the week.

Come back and wrap up the show Morning Show here at WFHR.

Welcome back to the show, everybody.

Melissa, Melissa, set in James here with you.

I'm going to wrap up the week.

Thanks so much for hanging out with us, everybody.

It has been a fun long week for many of us out there.

It's been a heck of a week right now, yeah.

And can I take a moment to mention personally inviting people to participate in their first amendment rights?

Yes.

Go right ahead, please.

So please come down and join me on Saturday at in front of Spiris Hospital there on East Riverview Expressway.

We're going to have a peaceful protest at noon.

Everybody is welcome.

Come express your point of view and how you feel about what's going on in our country.

It's our first amendment rights, peaceful protest.

And everybody is welcome.

Appreciate you taking the time for that, Melissa.

Thanks for letting us know.

Mm-hmm.

A Missouri museum.

Oh, boy.

That one.

I can tell you how many times I've worked on that.

I couldn't say it.

I couldn't say it.

Gather 309 people in banana hats to break a P.A. Peeling Guinness World Record.

Oh, she eats.

And a Peeling World Record, darn it.

Oh.

The City Museum in St. Louis took on the title for the most people wearing banana hats at 530 on a Wednesday.

Oh, okay.

An official Guinness World Record adjudicator was on site and confirmed the museum took the record with 309 participants.

Wow.

Is there a record to be broken?

Yeah.

I'm double checking here.

No, it doesn't look like anybody had ever done this one before.

Okay.

We gathered a bunch of friends to set the Peeling Guinness World Records title for the most people wearing banana hats with 309 participants.

We couldn't have split this record without the help of Explore St. Louis Slalom and St. Louis Rasta and Pasta costumes.

And of course, you, the museum, said on social media.

Very nice.

We're going to split this record.

All the puns.

All the puns.

So, I mean, I don't know if everybody else is thinking this or not, too.

But, what, cheeseheads?

We use what cheeseheads?

Oh, yes.

Surprise that hasn't come up.

I think that they missed their opportunity.

They all should have been singing together.

You scream ice cream.

We don't have scream for ice cream.

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

You missed that one.

Yeah, that would have been good.

That would have been good.

And then have the ice cream truck show up.

Come on.

As a quick side note, this brought a lot of attention to this museum that does not always get that.

Sure.

And I implore a lot more museums to do things like this.

And we're, you know, the reminder community said how important our museums are and heading on over there.

We know our good friend Phil and the gang over at the South of County Historical Museum.

That's right.

We have on the air with us all the time.

They just got their Laura Ingalls Wilder traveling exhibit.

I can't wait to go see it.

I love.

I can just set it up and she knocks it out.

She's got it.

I knew it.

I knew she would.

Boom.

Appreciate you mentioning that Melissa.

Yeah.

All other kinds of great things over there as well.

And that exhibit itself took some work to get over here.

Yeah.

The more you get over there, the more traffic they get over there, the better everybody.

Yeah, exactly.

And on over there.

Check it out.

Yeah.

Well, I fell on with us sometime soon here.

Looking forward to that.

I want to get into our weekend lineup and our schedule.

We got some other things going on this weekend as well.

Mm-hmm.

So first off, I want to remind you that this is the last day everybody.

Yeah.

We're doing Civic Media's break in the spring.

Text to win contest.

Last try.

Jane and Greg will be coming up in a little bit.

They'll have the next word for you in the 11 o'clock hour.

That's right.

One more time at one and another time at four and then that's it.

Mm-hmm.

Be listening for your chance to qualify and get in on some of these cool prizes.

A big thank you to all of our sponsors, our sales and marketing team and all of you out there.

Mm-hmm.

It's been a lot of fun.

Really hard on this one.

Yeah.

We're on the works right now, everybody, on a promotion, a contest that I came up with.

Yeah.

And I'm only saying that because it may be the only time I ever get to say it.

I never do that.

That's not my thing.

It's not my wheelhouse.

I come up with stuff and everybody's like, James, we're not doing another Simpson's thing.

Sit in the corner.

Yes, please stop.

This one's actually good.

Nobody wants a really tall blue wig, James.

Yes.

Right, right.

People like this one, James.

Yeah.

So this is going to be big and I am so excited when we finally come around to doing it.

It's going to take some planning, but man, it's going to be fun.

Looking forward to that and doing even more with our community out here and getting out there and more.

Taking the morning show on the road this summer and stuff.

Yes.

Yes.

And if you're a business or somebody out there that would like to host us for a morning show, let us know everybody.

Love it.

We can make Darnier anybody, anywhere, work.

We made the front entrance of Quick Trip work.

We can make it in the day or anybody wants it out.

I only bring that up because it's so busy.

It's so much like having traffic thing.

Shout out to Quick Trip.

We like our friends over there.

Playmakers, brand new tonight, everybody.

But before that, we will have Midday Magazine and we got a great lineup for you to wrap up the week.

We'll have plenty to talk about.

And in part two, Father Weller will be joining us.

Assumptions Talent Show is coming up.

We're going to talk about it.

Yeah, they're a big talent show.

Looking forward to talking with that.

That's going to be a great one.

Of course, you've got Sunshine Polka Show at 7 a.m. tomorrow.

And we want to hear from all you creatives out there.

If you want to be on the show, reach out to us.

And then set faces.

Music from six to eight.

One of the most fun, unique hours you're going to spend.

A couple hours you're going to spend.

Yes.

You got a good one this week.

Yes.

The color white.

I've done numerous colors.

Yeah.

And I keep doing this.

It's like, wait.

I haven't done that yet.

Oh, why?

I can't believe I haven't done that yet.

I've not done that yet.

Now I'm going to do it.

There are classics, ladies and gentlemen.

I told you.

I'm not doing the howler monkey one.

Oh, come on.

Not happening.

Do you know how hard that was to say in that commercial?

It's my favorite part.

It's my favorite part of that commercial.

It's my favorite part of that commercial.

It's my favorite part of that commercial.

I struggled the most.

That's funny.

Oh, you nailed it.

That's great.

Yeah.

Check it out.

Got some great tunes for you this week on set faces.

Anything by the white stripes?

No.

No, actually.

Oh.

White or shade of pale?

No, actually.

I did not do that one.

But I did play my folks favorite song.

Knights in White satin by the Moody Blues song.

So I wrap up the show with that one.

Find out if he plays the short radio edit.

Or the poem version.

Oh, no.

I'm not going to do that.

I only got so much time, man.

Come on in minutes long.

Yeah.

Thank you for coming this week for my two-hour show.

Here's the one song.

Yeah.

It's a good song.

Good song.

Yeah.

And from eight to nine unlabeled, I got a new one this week.

Yes.

We'll a little pop-ish.

We'll love it.

We'll love it this week.

Oh, love the songs, man.

Great choices.

Give you a taste.

It kicks off with a distance from cake.

Yep.

Give you an idea.

The kind of music we'll be having for you on that one.

Just as a side note, it won't be this Sunday.

But the last Sunday of every month, we've got a brand new show, Masters of Mystery.

Yes.

I hope you caught it last week.

Yeah.

It was the first time we were able to do that.

It's a monthly thing they do in Minneapolis.

At a mystery writer brings in some other mystery writers and they talk about the craft.

And it's really cool.

I mean, it's really interesting.

Yeah.

Keep in mind, everybody.

We are still looking for Easter egg hunts.

We'll be talking more about those next week, leading into it.

We'll give our front desk a call or email us or hit us up on Facebook.

We'd love to be able to cover your Easter egg hunts.

And we've got a winter's farmers market still going on.

It's still going on.
