Good morning, Wisconsin.
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.
I am joined by Katrina Hintner from Family Natural Foods.
Good morning, cat.
Hello, hello.
Good morning.
Good to have you in studio with you again.
We will be joined by Family Natural Foods later this week.
Talk a little more shop with you then.
I've steven in and those great puns and everything.
Yes, get ready for them.
Can you prepare for those?
Oh, you can only just take them in.
You just got to take them in.
We got some fun stuff lined up for you this hour.
We're going to get into some interesting things.
Where is that one?
Foods that have the wildest swings between good and bad.
We got that one lined up for you a little bit later.
We'll also get into some local stuff that we have going on our schedule.
And remind everybody about some of the realignment that's going on around here.
We'll wrap up the show with that and update on Family Natural Foods.
But I do want to get into a little bit of entertainment news.
And maybe actually we'll talk about our programming adjustments here.
We'll see.
I wanted to dive into this.
Some news came about from the Academy Awards.
And the Academy Awards...
This is a little bit crazy, I think, to some people out there.
Up until now, members of the Academy were not required to watch every Oscar-nominated film before voting.
But that will all change for next year's 98 Oscars.
So the way this has always worked, at least from where I am, way down on the pecking order in the SAGS.
But as a SAG member, you get to vote on the Oscars and the Screen Editor Guild Awards.
And the way that it has been presented to me is watching...
So if I'm watching the films that are nominated for best special effects or best makeup or something.
I'm probably going to get a scene that's going to focus on that.
Sure.
You've got a movie that's focused on the makeup and take wicked.
And so they're going to do a lot of close-ups of the characters that had a ton of makeup on or something like that.
And that's what you watch and you kind of move on.
There's a lot of nominations.
There's a lot of movies.
And I kind of understood that.
But I also feel like it is also part of the thing that has been a problem with this industry for a very long time of just doing enough.
I brought this up earlier a little bit too.
When did we get tired of working?
Or get afraid of work.
I am all for the idea of being able to sit back and relax after a long day.
I encourage that.
We all need mental breaks.
We need to focus on that more and better in society.
While at the same time, I mean, nothing gets done without some work.
And whether we're talking about, hey, you want to be...
You get this position to be able to do this.
To be able to vote on these things.
For me, and I admit I'm coming at this from a very passionate place.
But even without that, I would think, you got a job to do, do the job.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry that you have to watch all these movies to have some context when you're voting on these things.
But context matters.
And if I'm watching and I'm just watching for makeup, I'm missing, well, what is the makeup enhancing?
What is the point of the makeup?
To me, I think of a movie like, let's look at a score.
You know, a great score for a movie.
To me, a great score, you don't even notice it.
It's so good, it helps carry the scene.
It doesn't take away from the scene.
You're not watching it and you're like, oh, I missed that dialogue because I was all locked into the score.
That's not the point of the movie.
That's the point of the score.
The score is supposed to be so good and so in there that you don't even notice it.
I think one of my favorite examples of this is the movie Heat,
where there's tons of music in it and it's all really good.
The soundtrack is like, wow, it's some really good music.
During the movie, you don't even think about it.
It just carries the scene.
Same thing with makeup, with editing, with special effects, with anything.
It's all supposed to work together.
You don't even know what's going on.
You don't even notice it.
When you dissect it, then you can focus in on those elements.
Yeah, which I feel like you should be doing both.
I feel like you should be watching the full movie and then maybe going back and like,
okay, well, this movie, like Oppenheimer,
was nominated for like 20 different things.
Yeah.
So going back and watching, you know, this Robert Downey Jr.'s performance,
isolating that, isolating the makeup that was done over here for the character,
the actor of the played Einstein, that's the job.
If you don't like it, guess what?
You don't have to do this for a living.
Like, this is the other part of things.
It boggles my mind.
I'm all for venting, but I think there's a big line in the sand of venting and whining.
And whining about your job, well, very few people have to do that job.
Like, there's plenty of people out there that are working a job.
They got to work because they got it.
Yeah.
You don't have to be an actor.
You don't have to vote on these things.
Have some understanding of what you're doing.
It's the same thing to me as seeing billionaires and millionaires tell me I need to sacrifice.
Sure.
I need to toughen up a little bit.
Like, what if you sacrifice?
What if you ever sacrificed?
You're going to tell me about it?
When you don't have any idea, you have no empathy or understanding of what it is like
to live a day in the life of an average American.
And you're going to tell me that I got a sacrifice.
Get out of here.
Yeah.
And I look at this the same exact way.
You shouldn't get to judge these things if you aren't willing to put the work in.
I think it's a great rule.
This new rule requires voting members to watch all nominated movies in each category.
Although it doesn't mention how the members will prove that they're doing this.
That part is kind of, you know, up for artistic interpretation.
We'll see.
Yeah.
That will be interesting because how do you vote on it if you haven't watched everything?
The Academy also made a statement on AI saying that it'll quote,
neither help nor harm the chances of achieving a nomination.
The next Oscars will take place Sunday, March 15th.
With, of course, the great, the wonderful Conan O'Brien hosting.
That's the real reason I'll be watching.
This is Conan O'Brien.
The moment the wins, you know, you can catch that anytime.
Well, and you know what?
Maybe they tried this year and they adapt.
They are like, you know what?
That didn't work.
That's why we've been doing it this way for so many years.
They're in this weird thing right now with AI as well,
where they're trying to be sensitive to it because of the, you know,
some of the connections that are there in the industry and everything.
Well, also being sensitive to artists, it's such a weird thing,
business and sports or business and arts,
where you have two very different factors going on,
where businesses are trying to make money.
Artists are trying to make art.
And the two worlds don't combine very well often.
Yeah, it's true.
It'll be interesting to see how that develops not only with award shows,
but the attention to award shows as well.
People are caring less and less about award shows.
And I'm curious how long.
I wonder if award shows will just become like radians.
Like, oh, this show got, you know, so many people are watching this show.
If that becomes like, hey, you're just looking out for radians and not awards.
Which would be sad because it's not giving the people that, you know,
the directors and the actors and actresses who really put their time and energy into it
and all the behind the scenes people too.
Yeah.
That really their true appreciation and thanks at that.
I wanted to touch on this yesterday,
but I wanted to give some space between the passing of Pope Francis
and kind of touching on things with him and getting into it.
I mentioned on the air a number of times since he has been in this position
or was in this position.
How interesting of a human being I thought he was.
Yeah.
I think we need to get better about this part two about being able to separate things.
And when I talk about Pope Francis,
I come with complete respect of his religion, his faith,
and what he did with his life.
I am talking about him though as the man and who he was as a person
and the kind of person he was from everything we could tell
and interviews and different things that I saw of him.
And when he was alive, I would have put him in the top three people in the world
I would have given anything to interview.
Yeah.
I would love to sit down, talk with him.
You know how these interviews work.
You get a couple of minutes before you, the cameras are on or the mics are on
and I would have loved to have just been able to be around him.
Yeah.
Just seemed like a very interesting person
and actually was talking with Randy Paul a little bit about this yesterday and stuff.
And in a day and age where it's really hard to tell,
seemed like the real deal.
Seemed like somebody.
Yeah.
The first image I remember seeing of him is him washing the feet of poor people.
Yeah, it seems really genuine.
Yeah.
And certainly lived an amazing life and a very interesting life
and quite a wide-ranged life.
Now Pope Francis by now, I'm sure that many of you have heard,
if not when he got, he was the first Latin American Pope.
Jesuit Pope, I believe, as well.
And also maybe it can't prove this, but maybe the first Bouncer Pope.
Okay.
Did you know that Pope Francis used to be a Bouncer?
Wow.
So yeah, following along about with double pneumonia,
we lost at 88 over the weekend.
All right, no, yesterday it was Monday the day.
Because he was able to do the Easter services.
The funeral will take place sometime between Friday and Sunday.
And per his wishes, Francis will be buried at the Basticola of St. Mary Major in Rome.
And here's something you may not have known though.
Before he was Pope, Francis was a nightclub bouncer in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
He also owned a Harley.
And it's not clear how much he wrote it or anything,
but he definitely owned a Harley up until his passing, actually.
Wow.
He kept that Harley.
It was given to him by the company back in 2013.
And he auctioned it off the following year.
So they must have given him another one.
Okay.
Pope Francis also vowed he would baptize aliens if they ever came here from outer space.
Quote, when the Lord shows us the way, who are we to say, no, Lord, it is not prudent.
No, let's do it this way.
Who are we to close doors?
That was his feeling about if aliens were to come this planet and everything.
They wanted to be baptized.
Yeah.
I love it.
Well, and this really speaks to the kind of person I feel like he was, where when we say open-minded,
I think that that, and I know that it has a different definition to everybody.
There's no real set definition on that term, I think.
But to me, when I think about it, this is the kind of thing I'm thinking about.
This man had such belief that he did not need to force his belief on others.
He did not need to, he didn't get uncomfortable around people who did not have the same belief,
but was also open-minded enough to understand that he didn't know everything.
There's not one person walking this planet that knows everything.
And anybody that tries to tell you that they do is trying to sell you a bridge in San Francisco.
Yeah.
People of power, people in key positions in society need to encompass this more than anybody.
We look to leadership for a lot of things.
One of the things that I look to leadership for is the understanding that I don't know everything.
And I got people that do.
I may not know about this, so I got this person right here that actually does know their stuff.
And I'm going to lean on them.
The smartest, most intelligent people I've ever known and I've ever seen know that they don't know everything.
And Pope Francis was one of these people.
He understood that for everything I know and everything I have, I absolutely 100% faith in.
There are things I may not.
There are things that I just don't know.
I think there is a beauty and a strength in that that I admire.
And I hope we can all achieve.
Absolutely.
What a life he lived.
Rapping up one of the remind everybody that our great friends over at Wisconsin's Rapids Community Theater are wrapping up their 50th season.
50 seasons.
50 seasons.
That's incredible.
Really is amazing.
And they got their 51st all lined up everybody.
They are going to kick off the season next year with Angled and Pond.
A classic.
I know that most people under it know the movie, but that play is just as strong and just as good.
And it is an emotional tour de force of good and happy and gut wrenching and sad.
And just everything that is beautiful about the theater I think Angled and Pond is.
A Christmas story is their seasonal one.
Oh, this is such a good one.
I cannot wait to see that.
That was so good.
I don't like to say this stuff because I don't want to discourage anybody else from auditioning or anything like that.
But I'm going to try out for Ralphie.
Oh, try out.
Try out.
Yeah, we'll see.
I got range.
I got range.
I can play younger.
Can you play younger?
Can you play shorter?
I don't know.
I don't think so.
I have a better chance to play the lamp.
I have a better chance doing that.
I think there's more likelihood my leg would be cast as the leg lamp.
Yes.
Hey, that's where the right there.
Four old broads will be the winter show.
That's a fun one.
And the whole season will wrap up with the father of the bride, which is just a fantastic show.
That's great.
It's a great one.
That one I will be auditioning for, I think.
They're also looking for directors right now.
If you ever thought about being a part of things over there, cannot encourage you enough.
No matter what you would like to do, WRCT is welcoming.
It is a family.
The only catch is you get over there.
You're coming back.
Yeah.
I guarantee you're coming back.
There is no all I did one show.
And then I'm never coming.
You're going to want to come back.
So that is the one catch of it.
I would remind everybody.
And I want to remind everyone as well that kicking off May 1st.
Wow, it's almost here.
May 1st is opening night for our great friends over at Noises Off.
I'm being directed by our own Melissa Kay.
And I've got a bunch of our cast and our local favorites in it.
They've been working so hard at this one.
Everybody get your tickets right now at WRCT theatre.org and pick out your seat.
And where you want to be when you check Noises Off and help WRCT wrap up their 50th season.
Get on over to WRCT theatre.org.
Take time out.
We'll come back.
And when we get back, I want to get into these foods with the wildest swings.
Maybe we'll do that later when we have a little more of our longer segment.
We'll see.
We'll find out when we come back here on Mornings with WFHR.
Welcome back everybody.
Morning show here at WFHR.
Locally grown radio.
Katrina and James hanging out with you.
We hope you're having a fantastic day out there.
Thanks so much for joining us.
We're going to take you right up to our news sports and partner break.
And this one is a little bit of an interest to one Katrina.
I've actually been hanging out on this one.
I think it's a good time for it.
A new poll by Hancock tires found more Americans are raging behind the wheel than when the same survey was done a decade ago.
26% admit that occasionally lose their temperature while driving.
And their temperature.
Because usually when your temperature goes up, your temperature is too.
Super fair.
Yes.
Well done.
Well done.
That's up to 23% in 2014.
26% still seems a little low, doesn't it?
Yeah.
We're also less likely to describe ourselves as thoughtful, responsible, and obedient drivers.
Only 57% agree with that statement down from 65% a decade ago.
I honestly, I think that's true.
People just have less patience, right?
I mean, I grew up, well, we didn't have a computer for a while, but then it was like dial up.
You had to wait like five minutes before you could get to something, right?
So we're all used to it because it was like, great, we could get internet.
We could do things.
Now we have the internet in our back pocket, James.
Yeah.
And if it's slow for a second, we're impatient.
And just think about that.
So that's our everyday life that's happening all the time.
So then we transport that into when we're driving.
Yeah.
And that is going to play out as well.
I mean, that's just one part of it, but it makes 100%.
And I couldn't agree more.
Unfortunately.
Unfortunately.
I think knowing this stuff can only help you in benefit when you're not only in those situations,
but trying to take care, you know, anger is one of those things.
Just like I was saying before, venting, you know, and getting that out of your system.
That's a positive.
That's a good thing.
But you want to direct it in the right places.
And especially on the roads, it's the last place that you want to be angry on.
Yeah.
Again, this is just science, everybody.
When your brain is anger, you're not thinking rationally.
Your brain is just literally not thinking right.
So when you're driving, when you need your brain to be thinking right,
getting anger involved in that is not good for anybody.
Even if it's just you on the road.
That's not positive.
And it's not good for you health wise, mentally or physically.
It's just not good for you and everything.
Getting these stuff out of your system is very helpful, especially when it comes to being on the road.
Yeah.
And being more thoughtful or responsive of other drivers, there's no downside to that.
There's no negative side to being more in tune with the roads and caring about other drivers and everything.
The more of us do that, maybe the more people will do that for you when you're on the road.
All that being said, I have no idea if we're actually going to do any of this.
I want to have faith in myself.
I want to have faith in my fellow human being.
Yeah.
And I really...
There's a lot of faith in just fellow being every time we're driving, really.
I do a pretty good job with it.
I have a very realistic brain, but I think I do a pretty good job with it.
I hope in most things.
This is one area I am admittedly sensitive on.
I was in a lot of accidents as a little kid and had really affected me with driving into an older age.
Didn't get my license until I was older.
So I wholeheartedly, journalistically admit that I am a little more sensitive to this one than most.
At that being said, I also look at the same numbers any of you can look at.
And whether we're talking about drunk driving or intoxicated driving or the amount of accidents that happen left and right for just every day life.
There's no way you can look at me with a straight face and say we don't need to be better about being on the roads and our driving and our driving.
And how we are as drivers.
And again, there's no downside to doing this.
Being a little more patient, having a little more time on the road, giving each other a grace.
The hugeest thing. I think we're always in a rush. We're rushing.
And this is one of those things where we don't need the government to make a rule.
We don't need societal change or anything like that.
We can each do this individually when you get behind the wheel.
Being a little more patient. And the more of us do this, the more of us are going to be able to be safer on the road.
Yeah, maybe don't text and drive. Don't put your makeup while you're driving.
Do those things at home or when you stop. Focus on that job, which is driving.
And it is a job. It becomes automatic for a lot of us, but it is a job.
Doing this, say you're late for your job.
You're late for an appointment, something along those lines.
That's where it's on employers and businesses and other doctors offices or what have you to also have some grace.
And understanding, you know what? I know you made your five minutes late for your appointment. I'm glad you're here.
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm glad you didn't get into an accident or something like that.
The next time I'm planning on coming 10 minutes early.
This is one of those, yes. This is one of those things where we all got to work together on.
While you can take a hold of this, hold of the reins individually.
You need everybody to work together on this one to make this kind of thing work.
Right.
Because I don't know how I feel like we're seeing this more and more now, especially how many of these things,
whether we're talking about cars or flying cars or driverless cars or any of this stuff,
I feel like the tech is way ahead of us as far as if we've earned it.
Because I don't know if somebody, you know, the guy in charge of all vehicles,
you know, this person that it's in charge of all vehicles comes out and looks at these stats
and like, no, I'm taking those away from you guys.
Yeah.
You even earned vehicles.
You got to go back to horse and buggy.
Yeah.
Because I don't know if we have as a society.
I don't know if we really...
I don't know if we have there.
But obviously they ain't going nowhere.
We're going to keep having vehicles and everything.
So we got to grow up.
We got to evolve and get better about driving.
And how we are.
And the more we do that, the more young generation see it.
Absolutely.
And they're going to be.
Absolutely.
The poll found, the number one thing that causes road rage is when you are driving around people
from the state right next to you.
No, I'm joking.
That is the rule, right?
No matter what state you're listening to us.
Yeah.
It's the drivers of the other state.
Right.
That was Minnesota.
Oh, it's Illinois.
It's always got to be that way.
Sitting in heavy traffic is the number one thing that causes road rage
along with a reckless driving.
Those are in a one and two.
You mentioned patience before.
This is one of those things, too, where I think you got to be self-aware.
Where I value being a patient person and growing up and not being able to get to Chicago
without going through the Dan Ryan, you learn traffic jams real quick and how to...
Yeah.
So I have quite a bit of patience in that situation on the road and everything.
I find that I have the exact opposite.
And I'm better about this now.
But when I first started driving and everything for...
I'm driving down the road and two cars are in the middle of the road and they're talking.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
And they're just taking up the whole road.
And just driving nuts with outside this.
It's very Wisconsin.
Driving nuts.
The other one that I noticed, too, where we were talking about this with people,
I think I brought this one up on the air before.
But I have a very good friend of mine out in California who is one of the more mellow,
laid-back human beings I will ever know in my life.
I value their feedback and talking to them very, very much.
Just the person that they are.
And then you put them on the road in California.
And it is a completely different story.
Completely different.
It's like every little bit of anger, rage they've ever had.
It all comes out on the road.
Yeah.
And that ain't good.
That ain't nothing.
And they realize it, too.
So one of those things I think that the more aware of the more we talk about this stuff,
maybe better we can be about it.
Absolutely.
And certainly look out for each other out there.
And be able to look, you know, imagine a time where it's so late, you know,
so not casual, but we're able to enjoy being on the road so much
that we can actually look at those funny license plates and try to figure them out.
Oh, yeah.
We can actually take a minute.
Yeah, for sure.
That's a good thing.
Good ones out there.
We will take a time out.
We'll get to our news, sports, and partner break.
We'll be back with more Captain James in the morning show on WFHR.
Good morning, everybody.
Welcome back to the show.
Katrina and James here with you.
Thanks for joining us.
I hope you're having a great one out there.
Let's dive into this controversial topic.
No, that's not that really controversial.
Yeah, let's bring it on.
Come on.
What you got.
I do want audience participation.
Feel free to call up and join the conversation, everybody.
We want to hear from you.
You can use the Civic Media app.
Just to touch it to a way.
You can text us if you like, and you of course can call up at 715-424-2600.
I want to get your feedback on this list of foods that kind of take us from both directions.
Foods that are the wildest swings between being good and bad.
Some people say pizza is pretty safe bet at any time because even when it's bad, it's still pretty good.
Yeah.
So it's kind of like that.
Yeah.
So what would be the exact opposite?
Something that can be incredible or inedible.
Inedible.
Okay.
Inedible.
Inedible.
Yeah.
That's a fun word.
That is.
It's got to get it right.
Sometimes fast too.
Yeah, that's a different one.
There's a list online of foods that have the wildest swings between being delicious and disgusting.
And here are some of the best ones.
And they're not in any particular order, so we'll just kind of go down the line here a bit.
Okay.
But the first one is actually, I think a pretty good example.
Watermelon.
Yes, if it's not ripe, it's kind of blase.
It tastes like like solid water.
Yes.
Yeah.
It has no flavor to it or anything.
And there's few things that are more disappointing than on a hot summer day and take a big bite.
It's like, okay, it's just a, it's ice basically.
It's soft ice.
Yeah, soft ice.
That's a good one.
Coleslaw.
I have no idea.
I could tell you that the bit of coleslaw I have eaten in my life was all before the age of 10.
Oh, gee.
I'm just worst.
I know.
I know.
I mean, you're not like a fish fryer, obviously, because that would be a thing.
Well, I think coleslaw is an interesting thing because you could do like the mayo sauce,
right, with the coleslaw, or you can do more of like a vinegar sauce.
And it's two parties.
So in Wisconsin, I think you find more of the mayo sauce versus the vinegar.
Okay.
But I agree.
I think it can be, I don't know if it's drastically good or bad, but.
Okay.
They're saying that it, you know, especially in a potluck or a family dinner or a picnic or
something like that.
There's some relatives that you look forward to their coleslaw and somewhere you avoid
it.
Yeah.
You're like, who?
Not me.
No.
Salmon.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It can be my favorite quote.
It can be my favorite food or nauseate me through smell alone.
That usually is a preparation thing.
Yeah.
Preparation, or it's just like really gross, bad fish, and then it tastes fishy and like
fish shouldn't be fishy.
Yes, it's a fish.
I get that.
No.
It shouldn't be like that.
Really smelly kind of fish.
You hit it down the head earlier just before with the fish fry thing.
I think everybody in this audience knew exactly what you were talking about when you said
that.
Especially like the salmon.
This one I have made quite a bit, neat and quite a bit.
It's actually the only, probably the fish I've eaten the most of.
And you're so right about this, do you really?
It's one of those ones where it's just not worth even making if it's not fresh fish.
It's not good.
And it's so good when it's, it's good when it's good.
Oh man.
I love making salmon on a grill.
There's something about it.
It doesn't, it takes like two minutes and it's so worth it, it's so good.
Peaches.
Beautiful peaches.
Peaches for free.
Delicious and wonderful or a woody and mealy disappointment.
Yeah.
I've had that.
I get that.
Yeah.
Could be like I want a peach that's like dripping down my hand and it's just so flavorful
and it smells delicious.
That's the kind of peach you want.
Oh, that sounded so good.
Tomatoes.
Another one that I don't know that well, but I do, in the cooking sense, eating, I mostly
marinara when I come to tomatoes, oh my god.
But tomatoes can be crisp and refreshing or bland and mushy and stingy.
Yeah, I kind of stop buying tomatoes off out of season because they just disappointed.
So I get that.
My dad is the same way.
My dad's like, it doesn't even bother.
Certain times.
Mac and cheese.
Quote, trying too hard can be worse than not trying it all.
Mac and cheese is one of those things.
I think the simpler the better for me.
I just, I don't need, you know, a four cheese, mac and cheese or something like that.
Like, give me, yeah, yeah, it's good as it is.
You don't have to reinvent the wheel with this one.
And that for me comes more down to the noodles.
Sure.
There's nothing worse enough frozen or hard noodle.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
That's true.
Apples, some types are legit delicious and then there's red delicious.
Yeah, that's so mean.
That's so mean.
There's somebody else.
That's true.
I am not a red delicious.
Me neither.
No, me neither.
I can't, no, not a fan.
I don't know how that was like the only apple around for like, or at least you could find
a grocery stores for a while.
I was like, no.
Yuck.
There is actually an interesting story on that one.
Okay, that's for a different time.
Yes.
There's a lot of who you know, and then having the right, no, people that you know.
This is a weird one for me with the apples because I love apples.
It's like apple flavored things, all of the above.
So when I do come across a bad apple or a one that's weird for me, I don't, doesn't
happen very often.
Chicken breasts.
It's so easy to make it dry.
Yep.
That's one.
Another one of those.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll admit, I haven't prepared a lot of chicken or turkey.
My life, but that is one of those things I learned real quick, along with washing your
hands 80 times.
I definitely wouldn't tighten your ears and poultry.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Exactly.
Yeah, I guess so.
Nachos.
Absolutely amazing or flavorless soggy.
Yeah.
But I think if you eat it within the first like 20 minutes, you're good.
It's not a good take home food, right?
Like don't bring it home.
It's not going to taste good.
But I think, I don't know how bad you can mess those up.
So this is interesting.
I think that Nachos as a whole can be both where you're talking about the top nachos.
Yeah.
Those are great.
Those are really good.
The crisp got everything.
Yeah.
Those ones at the bottom that have been down there for a while.
Too soggy, too.
Okay, sure.
Yeah, so yeah, I get it.
It could be the more dramatic that we're talking about.
I could see.
I could see.
I might be stretching here a little bit, but I could see where they're going with that
one.
I, this is another one.
I actually don't know if I've ever actually had French onion soup.
Oh, James.
I don't think I have.
Come on.
I really, I begot us.
I don't think I have.
Can you this year in 2025, please make sure you get French onion soup.
I feel like this list is going to have a couple more on to it.
So yeah, we'll keep a running score on this one.
It's good.
I mean, especially if I put the cheese on the top and the, oh, yeah, that's good.
My whole family loves these things.
I don't know if I've ever been, you know, sir, I guess I just kind of have figured that
most people would assume it out there, but just to be strict or to let it known.
My family are great eaters and we'll eat just darn anything in front of them.
Besides you.
Besides me.
Yes.
Nobody can figure out why I'm like this or anything, but the rest of my family, my brother,
I love my brother.
He is my backbone in so many ways.
My brother is a goat.
My brother will eat darn near anything in front of him.
Jillian is not much different, but for some reason with me and my father is just as bad
as my brother.
Is there anything in front of them?
Is it cooked?
Cool.
Give it to me.
Have it, your mom.
Same thing.
Same thing.
My mom is a really good eater.
Actually, my mom is probably the next to my sister, the most brave eater that will try different
foods and all this stuff.
Don't know why.
I'm like this.
I don't know.
I'm a lot.
There's a lot.
There's a long list of things that Y. James is different than others in the dorm for.
Yeah.
I don't feel like we have enough show time for that one.
Okay.
Not today at least.
Maybe directors come.
Behind the seeds episode.
So French onion soup is one on here.
The next one is Brussels sprouts.
Boiled or steamed, they are disgusting, but a roasted Brussels sprouts are amazing.
They taste like a totally different vegetable.
And this is again the quote from the article here.
I like actually my boiled.
I think they taste just fine from the article person.
I don't.
I honestly, I didn't even heard a whole lot about roasted Brussels sprouts.
Oh, they're really good.
Yeah, they're like crunchy and yeah, they're really yummy.
Most people that I know prepare them, it's the boiled and they love them that way.
Probably because there's more German around here.
There's German.
It puts in a lot of many cabbages.
So yeah.
This is, you can find the complete article for this at askreddit.com.
This is the tricky thing with a lot of these is where did they do the survey?
Did they do it out west?
Did they do it down south?
You know, I always am curious about that part of it.
Scramble eggs.
There's five seconds between prime and a dry disaster.
Or two wet of a two.
Yeah.
Um, runny.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Uh, French fries.
Oh, I'm sorry.
No, you're good.
No, you're good.
French fries are another great one.
That's a, that's a good, big one.
I agree.
There's lots of varieties of cut styles.
How they, yep.
Uh, and, um, and leftover fries are just not good.
Not as good.
No.
No, they're not.
They're, they're, you want them to be good.
So you bring them home.
And that's the time you've disappointed.
Yeah, you, uh, yeah.
There's no re, I don't know, maybe in an oven a little bit, but even then I don't
like them as much.
They, they lose some of that in that flavor.
I, I, I love great fries, but there is not much worse than bad fries.
Yeah.
They're, they're, yeah.
That's one.
Um, someone, uh, said, I feel that cauliflower is the opposite of pizza.
It's bad no matter what.
Um, not the big one on this list that I, and I didn't get a chance to pre-read this,
but the one I wanted to save for last is the one I think that next to maybe pizza is
probably the, the biggest example of this of going from amazing to not coffee.
Mm-hmm.
Now on here, they say dunk in coffee, um, but I think this is for any coffee, whether
it's homemade or at a store or anything like that, uh, it can be, especially, uh, I
think it's more so when you're buying it than when you're making it at home.
Yeah.
When you're making it at home, you usually know, you know, pretty much how to do it.
Yeah.
You've probably done it before there.
It could be such a crapshoot with, uh, buying coffee from a, uh, a business and everything
and, and, and, and then getting it right.
Now there's certain ways and, and I, you can go ahead and, you know, make fun of me
or, or say that I'm being corny here or not, I don't care.
I think the more local you get, the more accurate it gets to what you want.
Oh, cool.
Um, that can read their audience or know the taste.
Yes.
Yep.
I, I, I genuinely believe that.
You, you can go ahead and say that.
Oh, he just believes in buying some, supporting local businesses and all that.
Well, yeah, I do, uh, but it's also, I also believe in what I'm saying there.
I think that they just, uh, have a more in tune to their audience.
Yeah.
They just understand it better.
But, um, bad coffee, like there's, bad coffee, you don't like it.
But how many of us, man, this coffee is horrible.
Sip.
Yeah.
Oh, this is bad coffee.
Sip.
But I need it.
It's almost like you think like you need it, right?
That caffeine.
I feel like most of the things on this list, if it's bad nachos, I'm not eating it.
I'll find something else to eat coffee, though.
I could easily drink water.
I could easily do other things, but no, no, I got to have that coffee, but if it's bad,
yeah, I get it.
Such a funny thing.
It's true.
I don't know if I had ever thought about it before, but I thought that's kind of funny.
We will take a time out.
We'll come back one more segment, one more.
Only why?
Man, this goes fast with you.
It really does.
We'll be back.
We'll have some more fun on the morning show here at WFHR.
Welcome back, everybody.
Morning show here at WFHR, locally grown radio.
I want that to come back as far as music acts go.
I want the music act with the really great, amazing singer and then the three backup singers
that are doing the matching dance moves.
I wonder if we're going to bring that back any more of that.
We hope you have had a great couple of hours with us.
We've had a blast, everybody.
Thank you so much for joining us.
I'm going to get into some local things going on and touch on one more update from our
friends over at Family and Natural Foods.
Before we do, just a quick reminder about some programming, realignment going on around
here.
Tomorrow and starting tomorrow, our morning show will be 9-11, so we're getting an hour
later start.
You can sleep in everyone.
Yeah, I can sleep in.
There you go.
That's the whole reason we're doing it.
We know that it might be a little bit of a shift for some of you out there.
We appreciate you joining us with it, keeping us company and being the best listeners and
radio.
Spread the word about that as well.
Also starting tomorrow, midday magazine will become the Rapids report.
That will be streaming exclusively online.
We're kind of leaning into where it has already gone.
Our listeners are the numbers that we're getting, streaming wise and downloads for that
show is humbling.
It's so awesome.
It's by far and away one of the more popular shows in radio, in Central Wisconsin.
That's just the numbers.
That's not my opinion.
We're kind of leaning into that with it being the Rapids report and it being available
streaming online.
We are looking at playing it later in the day, maybe six to seven.
We'll see how that goes.
Some of this stuff is still fluid, so we're still figuring out some things.
The show Playmakers, which our friends at Quality Post Printing and Family Natural Foods
sponsor, has been traded to WIRI.
It will be every Monday, Wednesday and Friday starting tomorrow from four to five.
We're going to have a draft episode tomorrow.
We're going to be focusing on that.
We're going to be getting to know our new audience.
We of course want the audience over here to come over there to 1055 and join us for that.
There are some things that we're talking about and looking to do not only with our morning
show here, but with our nighttime lineup from six to midnight and thinking about some
fun stuff there with the audience.
This is something that whatever you're feeling out there, I guarantee you a lot of our staff
is feeling.
Like we as a staff have talked about, we're going to do this together and we're going to
make this great together.
We do everything.
That is by extension to this community.
This community, you know this even better than I do Katrina, when we come together, nothing
like it.
That's what we're going to do with this.
Like we're going to do with a lot of things going forward as a team, as a community.
We're looking forward to it.
We're looking forward to hanging out with you a little bit later.
It's going to be a blast.
Be sure to join us from 9-11, starting tomorrow, everybody.
Yeah, change can be hard.
It's true.
But it also can be a really good thing too.
It's just reprogramming, re-shifting, and over the next couple of weeks, giving a little
bit more space as everybody's adapting to those schedules because you guys, I mean that's
going to be the biggest on you all, right?
You guys have to shift a lot of that time and your brain power of, oh yeah, it's this
time.
And so I mean, it's good.
You guys have great ways like we can get connected via, you know, with you all times.
If you have a phone with you and you can pick up the app or, you know, tune in the radio,
it sounds like you're going to make sure that there's a space and place for what is existing
that can still happen.
It just might be a different time.
Right.
Like with the rapid support, it'll be available Monday through Friday, right at 4 o'clock
for you to download stream, just like you would anyway.
So we're looking forward to that and I didn't, I didn't mean this as a quote, but I've
been saying it as a mantra as a quote for quite some time, especially with not just this
ownership, but two, three ownerships ago.
Nothing great that has ever, everything great that has ever happened began with change.
Every great thing in life, in the world, in the history of the world, began with change.
So it can't be that bad.
Yep.
We're looking forward to it.
I wanted to catch up with you in the gang at family and at your foods.
They've been hard at work, past hour, opening their doors over there.
Yeah.
Well, they're probably up to shenanigans over there.
Oh, yeah, definitely.
Definitely.
Yeah, which is great.
Yeah.
So we, I just want to highlight that we have all of our garden seeds in right now.
So whether you're looking for onions, sats, potatoes, onion plants or your beets, peas,
et cetera, we have those in.
So it's a really good time to get that.
And then we want you to put this on your calendar, May 6th at 515.
We're going to have another presentation on spring cleaning and low waste.
So this, we talked earlier, so I'm not going to highlight it too much.
But this is going to be done by Rubina shop owner in Steven's point of process.
And they're going to be focusing on how to reduce your waste and how to be more mindful
of like what we're using, like the products that are in it, but also how are we dispersing
it, right?
So you can buy and bulk, it's more economical.
These are all really good things for our planet.
And today is our, is Earth Day.
We want to celebrate that.
We want to think of what are some changes we can make to make it better.
So, you know, our kids, our grandchildren can really, you know, still have a wonderful
Earth to belong to and attribute to and such.
So those are a couple of things going on.
And Steven and I will be on the radio here with you all on Thursday.
We'll talk about a couple of other things.
We have one more presentation we're very excited about in June that will keep everybody
posted about, as well as I don't know it will, I have to just get Steven's curve balls
that he just throws all the time.
So we'll figure it out as we go.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're looking forward to it.
And we're looking forward to hanging out with you guys this Thursday on Rapids Report.
And we'll have that interview for you lined up at about 430 on Thursday.
So be looking out for that.
And thanks again for hanging out with us today, Katrina.
We appreciate you.
And thank you to the team over there and your family for letting us bow our ear for
a couple of hours here at the studio.
We appreciate that.
Join our friends and family nature foods at 910 West Grand Avenue right here in Rapids.
Give them a call.

Buy local support, local support those that support this community, everybody.
Looking at our lineup for today, one more midday magazine for you.
And it is a great one at 4 o'clock today.
We're going to talk with Promise and our good friends over at the Heart of Wisconsin Chamber
of Commerce.
We're also going to have Emily in from the East leadership group.
That's going to be fun.
Always like talking with them.
And in part two, we will talk with Terika from the Wisconsin Rapids Family Center.
A really fun and important conversation we'll be having with her, touching on a couple
of different topics, along with the reminding everybody about the touch of truck event coming
up and the drive against violence event coming up.
We'll be talking about those and plenty of other great things we'll have in store with
her.
And then again, a reminder that tomorrow, playmakers will be premiering on WIRI 1055-425.
Be sure to join us there with your sports takes and feelings.
We're looking forward to hanging out with you over there at our sister station for 50
today.
Softball, Watoma, and Acusa.
Mike and Seth are going to have that one for you.
Nobody is covering more high school sports than we are around here and we're darn proud
of it.
We're able to do that thanks to Mike and Randy and Seth and Laura and all the great people
that are doing such good work bringing those games to you.
Absolutely.
We're looking forward to that.
And some things going on in our community want to remind everybody that tomorrow morning,
American Heroes Cafe will be open.
American Heroes Cafe of Central Wisconsin, 730-930.
Be sure to join them at Crossview Church right here in Rapids.
All veterans, military, police, and firefighters are welcome.
So make sure to spread the word about this.
Make sure that all those veterans, military, police, and firefighters know that this is
available for them.
It's great.
I love that they do that.
It's a really cool one.
A big tip of the hat to all the volunteers and all the people that put time and energy
into that event and make it happen.
Twice a month, they get together from American Heroes Cafe of Central Wisconsin going
on a Crossview Church, 730-930 tomorrow.
Make sure that all veterans, military, police, and firefighters are aware of it.
Like our good friend Tom keeps us aware with our monthly veterans updates and sending
us emails all the time with different events going on.
About that.
Women's Health Education on Wheels happening here in Wisconsin Rapids.
This is going on from noon to 1, this April 23rd, so it is happening tomorrow.
That's right.
This is at the Wisconsin Rapids VA clinic.
If you encourage you to check this out and find out more by heading on over there and
taking in this event from noon to 1 tomorrow, women's Health Education on Wheels, as taking
place at the Wisconsin Rapids VA clinic.
And one of the get some world good stories in here.
And where is it?
Yeah.
Okay.
So birthday.
A guy near Niagara Falls named Bertadette Sysler turned 110 years old and 250 people showed
up for his party.
Okay.
Cool.
The Canada where when he was three, then he turned 105 and his goal was to make it to 110.
Now he's shooting for 115.
Wow.
Very cool.
Good on him.
Good on him.
And I mean, you guys know well enough that I'm going to talk about penguins every chance
I get.
Yeah.
You have something to talk about?
I've got to.
The world's oldest penguin Katrina.
He just turned 37.
Oh, yeah.
And he looks great.
Yeah, he just turned 37 last week and got a special cake made of fish.
His name is Spineb.
Her name, I'm sorry, is Spineb.
She's lived at the zoo in England since 1988.
Her species usually lives 10 to 15 years in the wild.
Wow.
So 37.
Double bad.
That is a press.
And that is just a...
That's sweet.
They're treating her well.
She don't look a day over 20.
No.
She looks great.
That's great.
That's awesome.
Sometimes people that work in zoos do more work and it can be a much more difficult
job than I think most of us will ever realize.
And I've even been behind the scenes with some of those people.
I still don't know what it is.
And at the same time, there's some stuff that...
Okay, everybody, we got to put together a fish cake today for our penguin.
I love that.
I love that.
It seems like our cake.
You know, it seems like they had a bad job.
And as we are wrapping up this Earth Day, I did have one thing I wanted to touch on and
it is a quote is one of my favorites.
Quote.
We don't inherit the Earth from our ancestors.
We borrow it from our children.
Native American proverb.
I love that one.
It's a good one.
And I hope that one stays with people today, especially on this Earth Day, but every day.
There's no day to not celebrate the Earth.
There's no day to not care about this beautiful blue rock that we get to all hang out on and
do so many fun things like do morning shows and random weird topics and talk about penguins.
Yeah.
It's a pretty cool planet.
It was pretty cool hanging out with you.
Thanks, Katrina.
Yeah.
We'll talk to you later right here.
