Grown Ups Sure Are Mysterious

Good morning, Wisconsin.

Morning, world.

It's a new day.

Thanks for kicking it off with us at WFHR.

Got your host, James Bond, the Mike.

I'm joined by Seth.

Good morning.

And the best listeners in radio.

Thanks for being here, everybody.

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

We appreciate you.

We're going to have some fun.

We're going to get in some entertainment in a little bit.

We are going to talk about the top questions.

Kids are googling for adults.

Got some of that fun stuff lined up for you.

But to kick things off, Seth, what we like to do here in the 9 o'clock hour is get into

the kitchen's open here.

We do get into the kitchen's open.

Now I got to load that.

Sorry.

Oh, I thought it was already in there.

I sorry.

I didn't put that in there.

We'll split the audience.

Look behind the curtain here for a second.

Now I will let the audience know that for those that may not be able to catch us on the

FM right now, we are moving our tower.

So you're streaming us or you're listening to us on the FM.

The old school.

We're going to old school today.

It is.

It does have that old school feel to it today.

It's kind of fun.

But we've also got a lot of moving parts going on right now and everything.

And it kind of works out.

We have a best of segment for you right now where we put together.

Are you in a Beth put together?

Yeah.

So Beth took Mother's Day off.

Makes sense, right?

Yeah.

She's been working hard on this.

So we're actually going back to pretty much the very beginning on this one.

We hold an oldie goalie with Melissa and Beth together on a show from 2022.

Back when the show was very, very new.

It's kind of fun to go back and check these shows out every now and then everybody.

So we're going to play that one for you.

And oh, you had it up there.

You had it.

You did it.

So TKO.

You were doing it right, I didn't believe it.

It's that first one right there on the top of the left there.

Yep.

Put that in the thing there.

There we go.

So yeah, here you go.

We've got a classic, excuse me, kitchen's open from 2022.

We're going to dive into this interesting study that was published in the Washington post.

Two guys from Georgia Tech did this.

They're Cleo Andress and Xeofang Lang.

I'm probably slaughtered his name.

So sorry.

That's what I could.

But we're going to look at the most common restaurant cuisine in each state in the United

States.

Mm-hmm.

And some of the categories that we're in here are kind of interesting and challenging

to figure out really what it means.

But things like fast food, Hawaiian, Italian, Mexican, pizza, pub, seafood.

And some of that, that they didn't include that you would think are common cuisines in

the U.S. are American bar or cafe and they didn't include those as possible cuisine

types.

I wonder if part of that is because we can't really define what is American, you know,

what is bar food?

Well, I think they included pub as because pubs typically have a strong focus on food.

Right.

As opposed to bars where sometimes you just get snacky kind of stuff.

Right.

And then or more about the alcohol.

Right.

So believe it or not, Asian was popular in two states, but it's kind of surprising what

two states would be Asian, you know, because I have my ideas of where there would be like

Chinatowns and things like that and you would think that's where it would be.

But the two states that have Asian as the most popular food are Washington and Alaska.

I mean, geographically, they're not terribly far apart.

This is true.

And I don't know if it's because of a rise in population or just that's where the good

restaurants are.

Right.

And who knows what influences came into those states, but those are just not the ones

that you would think of automatically.

You know, I would go to like California, you would think might have a high Asian population

that you would see that as one of the major foods, but that's not what happened.

No.

And it doesn't separate what type of Asian, you know, this is true.

There's a lot of different varieties.

Could be Korean.

It could be, you know, Chinese, Japanese, yeah, but this was a pretty small study.

Yes.

So the next one is going to be also very controversial, that's right.

What is fast food?

And how fast does it have to be to be fast food?

Exactly.

So it was mostly concentrated in the South with Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, North

Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida, but they did have

two outliers, Idaho, and Utah.

Huh.

I wonder why those two were so into that.

I'm not sure.

And then also the debate, what is fast food?

Right.

Are we talking just like your big chains, Burger King, Arby's, Hardies?

Maybe it could be top eyes.

We didn't hear that.

Right.

Or they include things like Cudoba, don't they have a drive through?

They do.

They do.

So, you know, it could be, who knows what they were defining as fast food, but I mean,

it's an interesting study to do that.

And then, you know, what, there was only one state where Hawaiian was the top food?

Gee, I wonder where that is.

It was Hawaii.

Believe it or not.

Go figure.

Lions love Hawaiian food, but I have to admit, as a visitor to Hawaii, I love Hawaiian food.

I don't know why we don't have more of that in the continental United States.

There was some debate, too, because I was reading in the thread about, well, what are they

talking about when they're saying Hawaiian food?

This is true.

And I think the consensus was the food that most Hawaiians eat.

Okay.

Which is like the Hawaiian plate.

Yeah.

Which can include anything like fried rice, what was the, my mean spam?

Spam.

Often served there.

And they have a variety of spam there that you don't have in the continental United States.

You can't find that here.

No.

It's pretty impressive.

Yeah.

So, maybe we need to get that.

A lot of the influences there with their food are actually Asian.

It is true.

So, I wonder if that could be considered part of that Asian, but they defined it as its

own.

And that's where it was popular.

Yeah.

So now let's delve into Italian.

I don't think James is going to be surprised by this.

The two states that that was the most popular is New York and New Jersey.

Yeah.

But we have to point out that Italian was not, did not include pizza.

That they decided, decided pizza was going to be its own line.

Its own separate.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Italian places do serve pizza.

It is true.

And those are usually where you get your best pizza.

So I wonder if some of that was crossover as well.

Never can tell.

And then, again, not surprising.

The areas that would have the most Mexican areas are in the Southwest, Arkansas, to California,

with Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and Nevada, all preferring Mexican

restaurants.

And that doesn't surprise me at all.

No.

You've got that wonderful crossover with some Tex-Mex stuff as well, so that you can get

that blend and flavor.

And then just authentic cooking of foods.

Yes.

So it's always going to be better.

Yeah.

And it's its own category, so I don't know if that was included in fast food or not, because

this sounds like it's the more authentic like tamales and the cultural Mexican food that

you would get from the immigrants that would immigrate up from Mexico.

Mm-hmm.

Some of the best Mexican food I've had is from people that are immigrated from Mexico.

It's the authenticity.

It really makes a difference in the flavors that you have as well, because they use

spices down there that we don't use in American Mexican food.

Well, and think about the recipes that were handed down throughout your family.

But are you not going to find necessarily in a restaurant?

Mm-hmm.

Made with love, too.

Love adds an extra flavor to food.

Yes, it does.

So we talked about Italian food, and then we mentioned that pizza wasn't a part of it.

So where is pizza popular?

So pizza, not surprisingly, is popular in the middle eastern states with Michigan, Illinois,

Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Rhode

Island.

Yeah.

It's interesting that it doesn't surprise me that Illinois is in there.

I mean, pizza or you know, so there's a different styles of pizza, too.

And I wonder, could you look at the diversity of states there?

Which kind of pizza are they talking about?

Is it Italian style?

You know, Chicago style?

Is it New York style?

Did it include dominoes and pizza, like, pizza hooks?

Exactly.

And those fast food restaurants.

Exactly.

So good study.

Still some questions about what the results are.

Yeah.

And then you've got the pub food that we were talking about.

And I think pub food, I think, are like pretzels and like a good juicy burger kind of thing.

Right.

And typically called bar food.

Right.

But they call it pub food.

So in the study.

In the study.

And that was popular in the upper Midwest places like here in Wisconsin.

That's where it was popular.

Minnesota, Iowa, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Montana, Wyoming, and Oregon.

The only outlier with this was Vermont.

Hmm.

Loves its pub food.

And I wonder if the types of pub food that is served is different there than it is here

in the Midwest.

Well, and I wonder too, if that's actually the only state where pub makes sense.

True.

True.

It could be.

And they probably are able to figure out ways to creatively utilize some of the things

that they can get there that we can't get here like fresh seafood.

All that takes us right in to seafood.

So the two states where that was most popular, Louisiana and Maine.

You got the Gulf and you got the coast, yeah.

So this is where the reading into the comments, there was like we mentioned a lot of speculation

on whether this was really all that great of a study.

And some people chimed in about the fast food and if that's really a food category, why

Italian and pizza were separate.

And do any of us actually refer to a bar as a pub?

That's true.

You know, in some places it's interchangeable and other places it's very different.

So well, you know, there was another article in the Washington Post and it showed the maps

of the most disproportionately popular cuisines in each state.

There were kind of a few surprises in there.

So it's fun to look at the map because it's a lot different than the first one where

it's just talking about categories of food.

This one really kind of dug into it.

So the ones that weren't surprising were Tex-Mex, in Texas, Mexican and New Mexico and Arizona

stake everywhere from Montana to Nebraska, Cajun in Louisiana and then Southern in like

most of the Southern states, all of those ones that we listed off as fast food in this

study, Southern was disproportionately the most popular food.

That's right.

And some were not as surprising, you know, the ones that there were some that kind of went

huh, in North Dakota, it's German, German food.

So you know, coming from the Pendage area, it's like how are they defining German?

Is it schnitzel?

You know, you could also say that there's some Norwegian food that would be popular in

North Dakota.

They do lutefisk.

They still do lutefisk out there.

So why would German be more disproportionately popular?

Other ones are Pakistani in Illinois and I'm wondering if there's a huge immigrant population

there that has helped that up and gluten free in Colorado.

That one makes me laugh a little bit.

And do you believe that hot dogs is the most popular in West Virginia?

Really?

Yeah.

In West Virginia.

And again, that may be, you know, if that's a good a penduch thing, they never let any

part of an animal go to waste.

So how else can you use it?

Throw it into hot dogs and things like that.

In gastropubs were the most popular or the the most unique in Idaho.

I had to look up the meaning of gastropub.

Okay.

It doesn't sound appealing to me.

No.

But the definition is a pub that focuses on high quality food, higher end food.

So it would be like going to a fancy five star restaurant, but in a pub style setting.

Yeah.

That's awesome.

So I wonder what was Wisconsin's most, is it Polish?

It could be.

It's double check.

It is buffets.

We like our options here in Wisconsin, and that was the same for Iowa.

So those two, the most popular cuisines are disproportionately popular are buffets.

All right.

And you know, you can never pass up a good buffet.

This is true.

This is true.

And so I wondered about some of my other stomping grounds.

Not surprisingly in Pennsylvania, it's cheese steaks.

It's the only place you can get a true cheese steak is in Pennsylvania.

They came out of Philadelphia, so you got to go there.

And you know what goes really well with a good cheese steak?

Parogies.

Ah.

And you wouldn't think about that.

That's a nice Polish food, but there's such a, that's a huge concentration of immigration.

So being able to, to add that is delicious.

And then one of my old, other old stomping grounds, Ohio, this one I thought was funny.

Soup.

Yep.

Soup.

You go to places and you get soup.

And I wonder if they include chili in that.

Is it meat soup?

Is it just plain soup?

What kinds of soup?

And it doesn't go, that's true, because it's more of that liquid thing.

How about gazpacho?

Mm.

Cold soup.

But those were some of the interesting ones that you wouldn't think about.

And the East Coast has a lot of Portuguese.

Mm-hmm.

So that was popular in Massachusetts, in New Jersey, in Rhode Island.

So in New Hampshire, it was breakfast and brunch.

I like to go out for breakfast.

Yeah.

Do they not have a lot of evening restaurants?

Who knows?

Who knows?

So these were some of the interesting ones that, in California, here's where that Asian

thing, so disproportionately, it's Taiwanese.

Yeah.

Yep.

And then you've got Washington with the atmanese.

Mm-hmm.

So lots of interesting ones at Minnesota, again, buffets.

So it's fun to think about the different types of food that you can find, all across

Canada.

It's a big place.

Right.

Well, and it makes me want to just kind of drive around our area and our state and really

see focus on what restaurants are available, what are the ones that I go to, what haven't

I tried yet?

Or something out there that would be different than what I normally would have?

And I have a lot of friends that like to just travel on the weekends.

And one of their big things is to stop at non-chain restaurants.

Yes.

Try to find the little mom and pop places where maybe it's been in the family for generation

upon generation and they're making those recipes that were passed down with love.

You're not going to find those anywhere else.

Absolutely.

Exactly like that one.

Those are the ones that are most likely to have those more authentic type of meals.

So there's a variety out there.

I mean, you can find Indian food.

I'm surprised that was not on this list anywhere.

Yeah, I didn't see that anywhere.

Yeah, because to me, and we don't have one around here, a good Indian restaurant, you

have to travel an hour or more to get to someplace like that.

And it's such good food and it's an interesting different thing for your palate if that's not

the type of food that you're interested in.

Well, there's such a variety of it too.

And most of these, you can have adapted.

Like I know, I claim I've got my nice bland palate.

So when I go to restaurants that like Mexican or Indian that usually have a lot of spice

to it, I actually went to a restaurant in Ohio that asked, well, how spicy do you want

it?

And the gate you could give them a scale of, well, I can do maybe a two out of five, but

not a four out of five.

And they'll adapt it for you.

Yeah.

That's a very handy thing because I can't handle a lot of spice either, but you know, my

brothers love spikes.

More the better.

Yeah.

So this is just one of those surveys that kind of makes you think about what is out there,

what have I tried, what haven't I tried, and what's popular in different places.

It's interesting to see what is popular in other parts of the country.

So go out and explore, see what you can find.

And I think the kitchen is now closed.

I concur.

That was fun.

Yeah.

That was for the past.

Exactly.

I really enjoyed that.

That was a really good one.

Great choice, Beth.

Great work.

My man, the Melissa on that one.

And be looking at, be looking for another edition of the kitchen's open next Monday,

everybody.

Yep.

I'm looking forward to having that for you.

And of course, to all you sponsors, all you businesses out there, be a part of the

team, reach out to our front desk, 424-1300-715-424-1300.

You'll talk to Pam.

Pam will put you in touch with our sales staff and get you a part of the team's sponsor

of the kitchen's open.

Yeah.

It's a great place to go.

I'd encourage you to do that.

And again, be listening next Monday for another edition of The Kitchen's Open.

Tell me something good.

Welcome back, everybody.

Getting show here at WFHR, locally grown radio.

Some serious comedy to start your day with Seth and James.

Thanks so much for hanging out with us, everybody.

Want to get in some entertainment news and a little later, we'll have some other fun

stuff for you.

Get into our schedule and some good stories of the day.

We kick off talking about Jackie Chan.

Yeah.

Jackie Chan might be 71 years old, but he has no intention of slowing down.

He still does his own stunts and he'll continue to do so until the day he retires, which he

says, quote, is never.

Jackie says, quote, when you've done it for 64 years straight, there's no physical preparation

anymore.

Everything is in your heart and soul.

It is muscle memory.

Oh, wow.

Quote today with computers, actors can do anything.

But there's always a sense of reality that you feel is missing.

But I'm not encouraging anybody to risk their lives to do the stunts like I did.

It's just truly, it truly is too dangerous.

So he sees both sides of this.

He does.

I guess with age comes that kind of self examination of it's like, man, wow, what did I do

back then?

Oh, my God.

That was really dangerous.

This comes from an article from Hot Living magazine and in that he revealed the advice

he'd share with younger self, quote, Jackie, you should study English harder and don't

give up on learning that piano.

I love it.

I love that.

Always has been himself.

He has.

He has always been himself so much, so much charisma.

I mean, on the screen, I can't think of an actor who had more, you know, just charm

that came off of him, even if you know, yeah, his English wasn't great when he came to

the United States to start doing movies, it didn't matter.

It didn't matter.

He was just so good at that, at exuding that, you know, that kind of quiet charisma is

great.

Well, one of the more self deprecating and fun interviews you'll see and somebody who

has always just been honest about things and trying to learn English language and stuff.

And it certainly helps when he got his, and now he was already a big star in his world

in his life.

Oh, my gosh.

Gigantic.

But, you know, getting his break here in the States late in his life, I think that helped

it a little bit.

I'm sure.

But it's just also who he is and it's part of the reason and I maintain this.

It's not to say that you could be a jerk and not have a great career, but I said career.

You could be a jerk and have a movie or two or have a moment or something like that.

But you don't see a lot of jerks have careers, like he or his loved and adored as he is

or how much people love to work with him and stuff and if I understand right, for years

Chris Tucker would just like out of the blue call him just to make him laugh.

Why not?

You don't do that for people, you don't like, you don't do that for good people and

ungood people or anything like that.

And to me, this is part of why I love being an actor.

He doesn't want to retire.

He doesn't have to.

That's right.

Like, we're fortunate.

We get to do this as long as we want.

Most things in life, you have to hang up and that's a shame, you know.

I think that's pretty darn cool and the fact that he wants to quote, I could have used

those skill sets to make better movies as far as speaking English and playing the piano.

Oh, come on.

And you could see, so he does his own stunts, but if you ever see Jackie Chan in the movie

playing the piano, somebody else's playing just got to play the piano probably that

from a building is not it is that that bothers him apparently.

He wants to do that.

Yeah.

Oh, too.

Yeah.

That's funny.

Oh, my gosh.

If somebody came to me and it's like, you know, I've never seen an action movie.

What's an action movie?

What's Rumble in the Bronx?

Are you going to miss?

Yeah.

Or whatever.

Yeah.

That's one of my all-time, not only all-time favorite action movies.

I think it's one of the greatest action movies ever put together.

And it's only made all the more better when you find out he's doing his own stunts

and all that.

Yes.

Yes.

Or check out some of his early, you know, Hong Kong movies.

Oh.

I mean, they're amazing.

So good.

We never really got young Jackie Chan and for the English language movies, but if you

look at his early stuff, amazing, just remarkable stuff that he did.

You can see Jackie as Mr. Han in Karate Kid Legends hits theaters May 30th.

Yes.

I saw the trailer for that.

It went to Thunderbolts yesterday.

Saw the trailer.

I had not seen it yet.

And by the way, Ralph Macho, how was he not aged?

It's not fair.

How is he still looked at the same thing?

I thought the same thing.

Ralph, what are you doing, man?

I didn't see that Cobra Kai show on Netflix, but I know that was really popular and it's

part of the reason why, you know, the movie was getting made, right?

Yeah.

I did the little, even the little clips I'd see of that, I'm like, that ain't right.

That ain't fair.

Come on, Ralph.

So is that what happens?

Would you take some, take some time away from the industry or the industry?

Maybe that's what it is.

That's what it is.

The only role you get for 20 years is my cousin Vinny, because he was in that for people

forget.

He was rough.

Yeah.

He was very good in that too, by the way.

But he had a hard time finding work.

I don't know why.

And I'm not even talking about after the Karate Kid, he had a hard time after the outsiders

finding work.

And it was kind of a reach, if I, again, got this right, the studio fought to have him

in that role because they thought, oh, they're just going to think of what's his name

from the outsiders and everything.

Even though he wasn't named that big, he wasn't.

I would think Patrick Swaisy would have had a hard time coming out of that.

Then he would, well, maybe it was the fact that he looked so young for so long, maybe

this is going to help him now.

Maybe this will be a research in his career after this movie.

They're like, hey, look at Ralph Mathews.

He's looking good.

Let's get him in more things, right?

I don't know if that was a, if that, that movie was, it holds up or anything like that,

but man, the amount of times in my life, I still go back and think of that movie.

Right.

Just the cast.

Yes.

And all that.

And we just got an abbreviated entertainment segment today with the Kitchens Open and

everything.

But definitely want to make time for this.

The World Video Game Hall of Famous announced their class of 2025.

You got to do this.

We have to.

We have to do this.

Even if it was off air, we had to do this.

Yes.

We were just talking about it.

Things are being honored.

Here they are.

Defender, a 1981 arcade game that raised the bar on difficulty from simpler stuff like

Space Invaders.

Defender is an insanely hard game, but it's pretty cool.

I got to say.

It was a really fun game.

Yeah.

It's very difficult.

Quake.

The 1986 follow-up to Doom, which introduced a 3D engine that's still being used today.

It is.

Yes.

The oblivion engine, I want to say.

Anyway, I can't.

Is that what it is?

Okay.

The last time I played a game that really focused on that unreal was that it was like the

last first person one I played to.

Okay.

But I remember playing it.

I didn't enjoy it that much, but I wanted to keep playing because of the graphics and

the way.

Just how beautiful it is.

Very cool.

Amazing.

Quake.

Very similar.

I like Doom.

I didn't really get into Quake, but I do remember liking the graphics of it.

Yeah.

It was very beautifully rendered.

A Golden Eye 007, which became one of the best-selling Nintendo 64 games upon its release

in 97, they're really simplifying this.

You could make an argument that is another one of the councils that Nintendo didn't work

for Nintendo.

And then there might not even be an Nintendo because Nintendo is coming at a time right

when that 64 comes out.

You've got other gaming systems.

PlayStation.

They were a direct competition with the PlayStation.

Clip it at your heels.

Clip it at your heels Nintendo and it without a hit for that council.

The councils are important, but they mean nothing without the games.

Exactly.

If you don't have a hit game, there's at least four or five systems in the hit video game

archives that were amazing systems in the head of their time, but didn't have a hit-

But failed because they didn't have the games, exactly.

And with Golden Eye 007, it was really the first time that people were really starting

to catch on, oh, we can play these games with other people.

And that's the fun of this, getting to play, which is of course you were looking now.

If you're releasing a game now, a game online, whichever game is, it has to have a battle

royal mode.

It has to have an open world kind of thing where people from all over the world can jump

in and play each other and all that.

I don't care if it's a sports game, a first person shooter or whatever it is, it has

to have that.

And it all starts with Golden Eye, really.

It does.

And the fact that today, there's still a huge community of people that modify the game.

It's called mods, you know, the add-ons and things that build on top of what's there.

That is a great example of like one of the all-time great games, that they continue coming

back to it.

It's still considered one of the greatest games of all time.

I don't like Photoshop and I don't like a lot of the AI art, I don't like any of it

to be honest with you.

But one thing I did see, I did kind of like, there's this trend going on right now where

they're, I don't know if they're using AI or Photoshop, but it's basically like your

typical late 90s living room.

And it's nothing special, it just looks like it, and there's a young Pierce Bronson with

a controller, with a game, a goal playing Golden Eye or something like that.

Oh, that's awesome.

I'm pretty sure he'd never played that game.

No, it's kind of fun to look positive, he didn't.

And the fourth game entering the class of 2025, Tomaguchi.

Tomaguchi or Tomaguchi, they did a little digital pets, they were introduced back in 96.

Yes.

Oh my gosh.

A lot of those in a long time.

Games that didn't make the cut.

I killed Mike, Tomaguchi.

Yeah.

We heard that a bit.

I never played it, but I remember those.

We didn't have the money for that time.

Age of Empires, Angry Birds, Call of Duty 4, Modern Warfare, Frogger, Golden T, Harvest

Moon, Mattel Football and NBA 2K did not make the list.

Mattel Football.

Oh yeah.

Oh yeah.

I have two at home.

Oh.

I've got my dad's original one, and I got, they've, a couple years ago, they remade it

and my, my family gave it to me because, hey, they, they like this.

Wait, it's a little different, but it's little points of light.

That's all you're doing, and you have to run past other points of light.

It's so much fun.

It's, it's amazing game.

It's a great game.

It is.

It's playing it with my friends.

Yeah.

It's a good one.

That's really cool.

You have two of them.

Yeah, it's also.

NBA 2K should be in there.

Mattel Football should be in there, but I'm a little surprised that Angry Birds didn't

make it.

No.

That's maybe because it's a little newer.

I say Frogger will get in, eventually.

Frogger will definitely get in.

That Frogger has to be in there, yes.

You can see the complete list at their website, everybody.

Go ahead on over to, nope, that is not into what, in my computer today, I'm telling you.

Where did that, okay.

Is it the, if that's a The Strong's Museum, I think, isn't it?

It is.

It is New York.

Yeah.

The Strong's Museum of Play, I believe it's what's called.

That's also where the toy hall of fame is.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Museum of Play.

That org is the website.

I knew it had it just because it's so much fun.

Right there.

It's just a great name for all of us.

It is.

It is.

We'll be back after our news, sports and partner break.

Welcome back, everybody.

Morning show at W F H, locally growing radio.

Seth and James hanging out with you.

This is a good one to get into Seth.

I thought this was fun.

The top questions kids are googling about adults.

Why adults?

Seriously.

Why?

I mean, you would think on the surface and everything the kids wouldn't even think about

adults really.

They would let alone Google or even care.

Right, right.

We know if we were kids again, we wouldn't care.

We would just enjoy being kids.

I don't seem to remember caring much.

I'll say that.

Maybe we're looking at back at it with a skewed vision.

Maybe.

Normally, when someone says, so normally, when we say something like this and everything,

we're going to go to Google and share a bunch of stats on the top things, Americans have

been googling about adults, but so likely the top questions kids are asking about us.

So this isn't for certain that it's kids googling.

They're kind of inferring that they were done by kids, yeah.

They couldn't imagine a kid, you know, or an adult googling something about an adult.

I don't know if we should make that assumption.

Yes, I feel like they are drastically.

Maybe they're taking a little bit, yeah, we might have to take these for the grain of

salt, yeah.

I guarantee you, there's never been a kid that had to look up what does LOL mean, but

a lot of adults have.

I feel like yeah, so there might be something I guess we'll have to just find out what

they are.

So, yeah.

Here are the top five questions that they say that start with, why are adults blank?

Okay.

Why are adults so mean?

It's the first one.

Again, I could see adults asking that question just as much.

100%.

Yeah.

But I guess, yeah, kids would be putting in that specific way, you know, it's like, why

aren't they mean?

That does something like a kid would say.

It does feel like it.

Yes.

Because I feel like at some age, mean turns into unfair or unjust or something like that,

but they mean the same.

They mean the same thing.

They mean the same thing, basically.

Why are adults so obsessed with Disney?

Again, I don't know if that's kids asking that one because that might be just other

adults trying to figure out like, why?

Because there are some obsessive Disney fans out there.

Disney dads is like a thing, I guess, which is kind of scary to think about, but okay.

I feel like I've been asking myself this question since I was a little kid.

So as a kid and an adult, I feel like I've asked myself this one.

Not in a mean sense or anything.

Yeah.

It's more so in kind of a third perspective kind of sense of just, I wouldn't even say

respecting just the interest I have in the way that marketing works and the way that an

industry is able to or business is able to stay afloat or any of this.

And then there's these things like Disney that it's just its own thing.

It's its own world.

Totally.

You know, and how big it is and how long it's been going on and how it started.

There's a lot there.

But even with all of that, not only that Disney actually wouldn't be, I'm not as surprised

that the adults are into Disney as I am certain other things.

The Harry Potter thing.

Now I understand how big it was.

I understand that the love of it and everything and there's plenty of people that like the books

or like the movies or whatever.

But then there's the people that you meet that are like in their thirties and their whole

personality is around Harry Potter.

And that, I'm not judging any of this, I mean, my God, look at me for one second.

I have no right to tell anybody what they should be or shouldn't be doing.

It interested in, right?

It is a little surprising to me.

It is a little like, wow, I could see myself Googling.

Why are people sort of like as adults?

Why are adults?

So not kids.

Why are adults so into it?

The next question.

Why are adults so tired?

It's a good one.

Because it's just the natural being, right?

It's just to be tired.

What would we actually be like if we had gotten enough sleep?

I'm almost afraid to find out.

You know?

If you had the energy you did when you were a teenager, you know, as an adult.

Maybe this is all part of the plan.

Oh, I think it is.

Maybe we shouldn't have that energy because we could cause a lot of trouble doing that.

Just looking at the states here, you know, just focusing on that, adults, how work focused

we are, how work obsessed we are, how all these things.

And we barely take enough time as it is.

Now imagine if we had the energy of teenagers, how we'd be.

Oh my lord.

I don't trust us as adults enough to think that we'd be even more, we'd be more obsessed

with work.

Think of people you know or famous people that seem to have that kind of energy and how

weird that looks.

Seriously, it's, you know, you see people like that and it's like, why are they like

that?

That's weird.

How do they have that much energy?

Why are adults so condescending to kids?

Oh, well, that's a tough one.

They shouldn't be.

No, they should be honest, you know.

You should stop being condescending to kids.

I'm looking at this as a kid googling it.

So yes, I agree with you.

100%.

And it doesn't get anything through and that doesn't accomplish anything to a kid or an

adult.

But why a kid would take it that way?

I'm thinking of the different scenarios that it brings up and everything.

Yeah.

Oh.

Why are adults so happy?

Oh, sorry.

Why are adults always so happy?

Wow.

I don't know many.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

That's definitely from kids.

Yeah.

That's what I wanted to say.

In young kids.

Yes.

Like a young kid asked that.

Because now from a young kid's perspective, you're much, you're, you're literally seeing

the world differently.

You're four foot five, you know, you're four or something.

Exactly.

Yeah.

So you're looking up to everything.

And most the time as a kid, the things that you're going to are public places or retail

places.

That's what retail is.

You're always nice.

You're always smiling.

Right.

I could see some of this.

Also could see as you become, you get older and older and you're like, well, but I'm

not happy all the time.

Is there something wrong with me in that fear?

Yeah.

Because it's, I would say I was in my mid 20s before I stopped asking that question.

And I'm not saying I ever stopped.

I just got better about asking it.

But for the majority of my life, asking myself, what's wrong with me?

Why am I not like everybody else?

It was something that was very consistent and really affected my mental health quite

a bit.

I could see, whereas a little kid seeing that number of angles on this one of, we can't

help.

That's the way retail, that's way society works.

We're not saying we need to change that or anything.

But I do think that that's why mental health and talking about it is so valuable and so

important.

It is.

And I mean, it may look like we're happy.

Maybe we're just really good actors.

We put on a happy face, even though we're not feeling it.

Yeah.

And a credit to all the people around that young kid who are pulling it off.

Absolutely.

Good for you.

I will say too, I think the older you get, the majority of people realize that cynicism

or some of those things only, only drag out the day that much more, make life that much

harder.

You walk around all day with your fist clenched, you're going to get in a fight eventually.

Like, I think you, you just tone down a little bit.

Yeah.

I don't think you, you, you soften up.

I think that that's something we joke about.

I think you just get smarter and you choose your battles more wisely.

Yes.

Wisdom comes into play or should anyway, certainly not everybody, I just mean the majority

of you.

Um, why are adults always busy?

Uh, well, we got pay off that, uh, that new gaming system for you to see why are adults

always so tired?

It's because we're so busy all the time, right?

And finally, why are adults always so unreasonable?

That's hilarious.

That's, that's kind of funny.

If you think about it for a second, again, because I'm thinking what happened for this

person to go to a computer and type, take the time to, we all have thoughts in our head,

like, why are adults so unresponsible?

Yeah.

But you think that in your head, but you don't take it to the extra, extra step of just

looking it up, right?

Yeah.

So whatever got them to that step, I want to know.

I love the Dolly.

It doesn't have an answer.

I mean, we don't have for all of these.

I mean, we don't have an answer for any of them.

So, well, and every, any answer anybody would have a very different from different, every

person would have a very perspective, exactly.

It's just, um, it's a, to me, I take a step back from this and I think, well, it's not

easy being an adult.

It's not easy being a kid.

And I think both parties could do a lot better, uh, remembering it.

It's a, it's a human thing.

Yeah.

You know, it really is.

It's, it's, it's how, it's how we try to muddle through basically is what it is.

It makes me also want to, like, throw, oh, and now I want to mess with this algorithm

and just start typing in a bunch of weird questions and see for the next year, it's

all different.

Why do some adults wear diapers?

Yes.

I like, it's a great, oh, man, if I was a kid, right, I'd be, yeah, but I would definitely

be asking that.

I would be asking that one.

Yeah.

Definitely one of them.

We'll be back in more show.

You might not like the answer to that, but as a kid, man, would you really, okay, oh,

I got to put up with diapers when I'm little, sure, but I don't even remember that.

At least I'm done with them for life.

Wait a minute.

What?

What does that word be?

That's not in front.

Right?

It's not fair.

Be back in more show.

A little cut off there.

Yeah.

Sean, calm down.

Welcome back to the show, everybody.

Mornings here at WFHR, locally grown radio.

Seth and James hanging out with you.

We hope you're all having a good day out there.

I apologize, but I just got a message from Randy letting me know he'll be a part of

Playmakers today.

Oh, no, okay.

Excellent.

I almost said James and Randy here today.

I hope you're going to have a good day.

I had a good morning.

Yes.

We had great stuff lined up for you here at Civic Media.

Stick around.

Yes.

So that should be done by today.

We have everything up and running and we can't wait.

Our new broadcast signal will be that much stronger.

Yeah.

Wednesday.

All your superheroes out there get rid of the donate.

We appreciate you doing that, everybody.

And Seth, we got something really cool that the United Way is doing.

I didn't do this on purpose, by the way.

Speaking of diapers.

That's funny.

The United Way of Southwood and Adams counties is having a diaper drive.

It started yesterday and it's going to Father's Day, which I think is really cool.

They need help getting new and unopened diapers for all sizes and wipes, unscented preferred

and diaper rash paste or creams into the hands of parents in need.

Of course, they also accept monetary donations.

You can drop all of that off at the United Way offices at three fifty one Oak Street in

Rapids.

They're open Monday through Friday, 830 AM to 4pm.

We also put a banner up on our website in order.

If you'd like to donate it, it'll take you a link to the place where you can do that on

the United Way website as well.

So if you go to the WFHR website, you can just click on that and if you want to donate

some money, they would appreciate it.

We greatly appreciate you guys checking out more of the great things that they have at the

United Way.

U-W-S-W-A-C dot org.

Head on over there, check out all the cool things that they're doing.

We encourage you to be a part of the United Weekend event, the sculpture event happening

with the rafters.

That's coming up a little bit later with so many fun things going on with our United

Way.

Be a part of that and find out more.

This Friday, when Terry John's joins a CEO of the United Way, we'll talk more about

this.

Excellent day.

We've got a cool pet drive we're doing around here.

Yes, little Charlotte's animal rescue.

We are continuing this.

We've extended it through the entire month of May, so you'll have to the 31st.

To drop off items such as blankets, towels, dog and cat food treats, toys, kennels and

crates, garden hoses and cleaning supplies, anything like that, or maybe you would like

to adopt an animal as well.

Consider that as well, everyone.

Well, we have a whole bunch of new locations.

You can drop this stuff off at not only right here at our studio, 1690 Second Avenue South,

Yes.

Again, American Heroes Cafe of Central Wisconsin happening every second and fourth Wednesday

of the month, 730 to 930 over at Crossview Church right here in Wisconsin Rapids.

Excellent.

So a couple that met while playing the game Minecraft recently got married in the game.

What?

They do.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You can do that.

I guess.

I had no idea.

I don't know much about that.

Probably not, but anyway.

They met at 13 and now they're in their mid 20s.

She's from Oregon and he's from England.

The digital wedding happened in March, but why are just did a story on it?

Their avatar stood in front of a digital altar with a canopy and all that.

They said getting married in the game made sense for them because, quote,

we're living apart our whole our whole relationship.

That world is where we live together.

Wow.

He also proposed in the game and the wedding cost a 300 bucks.

Hey, no, some parents are out there that's like, I want my child's wedding in Minecraft

now too.

I love the idea of it going completely the other direction where it's actually older,

older parents encouraging kids to get married in video.

We're gonna have a box.

I can handle that.

Yeah.

Oh, you can eat.

Oh, I'm good.

This one went viral for Mother's Day and National Nurses Week, a hospital right here in Wisconsin

in Green Bay, who announced 14 maternity nurses are all pregnant at the same time.

There's a beautiful picture up of all of these nurses there and sweet.

And while they're all excited, they're all happy.

I think you could tell in the picture the first time moms and the ones that have done this

before.

Yes.

Yes.

It's fantastic.

It's a great picture.

Inserts vaguely dirty joke here.

Yes.

There we go.

It's got to be somewhere around there.

We're all making them in our hands.

Yeah.

You know what you're doing.

Yeah.

And right here in Wisconsin in Green Bay, that's happening.

That's really cool.
