Good morning, Wisconsin.
Morning, world.
It's a new day.
Thanks for kicking it off with us at WFHR.
Got your host, James behind the mic.
I am Jordan by our head of news, our co-host, welcoming back Melissa K.
Good morning.
Good to have you with us, Matt.
Good to be here.
And we're joined by the best listeners in radio.
Thanks so much for being here.
Everybody.
Happy Tuesday to you.
We kick things off the way we like.
Two of our good friend, Brittany Merlot.
Good morning, Brett.
Good morning.
Happy summer.
It feels like what the heck.
Yeah.
Yeah, really does.
Yeah.
I imagine this is going to be a really short segment, Brittany.
It's really nice outing.
You know, we've actually got some little bit of activity, hopefully.
Maybe a few sprinkles are possible this afternoon.
High temperatures will hit those low 80s.
A little bit more muggyness starting to see been today too, but those winds out of the southeast.
And then tomorrow, it's going to be humid.
Partly sunny, slightly cooler, actually highs in the upper 70s with more scattered showers.
Possibly a storm in the afternoon.
And then we're looking at some severe thunderstorms moving in on Thursday.
But of course, that very high fire danger still looked threat today.
And the rain is much needed.
So hopefully after Thursday with cooler temperatures this weekend, we won't have to worry about that.
No, not bad.
Okay.
We can handle that.
It's good to know.
We need the rain.
So it's good.
Yeah.
Brittany, did you happen to see the article about what happened in the Western Australia?
There was a illuminating light that came out in a bright green fireball in the sky.
Wow.
And their meteorologist over there and their astronomers are saying that it was a meteor.
It was one heck of a meteor, actually.
Oh, that is so cool.
Have you ever seen one like that?
Not anything like other than in the videos like of this and stuff.
But it happened on Mother's Day.
And they were saying that it was just really impressive.
Something a little bit different that we've seen before.
That is so cool.
I love that.
Oh, my gosh.
I'm glad no one was hurt from it.
And it was kind of pretty green.
Yeah, it really did.
It's worth checking out.
Did you get a chance to check that out?
You, everybody, go ahead and look at that.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Thank you for the update.
We'll talk tomorrow.
Sounds good.
Have a good day.
Good for me.
Thank you, Brittany.
It's best in a business right there.
I'm Brittany and we're a little joining us every morning in this time slot.
Yeah, I thought that was an interesting thing.
It just did light.
Just way at night when those kind of things illuminate the whole sky.
Yeah.
It's really interesting.
That is very interesting.
We got some more interesting stuff on the way for you, everybody.
The LKF Apertine Anniversary Club is right around the corner.
We're also going to get into a ER doctor said this six-word phrase
is a huge red flag for doctors.
Oh.
We will get into that.
So what not to say to your doctor, got it?
Possibly.
Five foods, even chefs, won't make from scratch.
I got that one for you as well.
And then we'll kick off the 10 o'clock hour with some entertainment news.
Got Madonna in there.
The NBC lineup.
They've made some changes there.
And a really cool story about a stunt woman from the Final Destination movie
who said a world record.
I want to get into all of that along with some local theater.
And in the 10 o'clock hour, we will also get into this at-home test
to check your brain health.
And I'm going to take it.
Melissa, if you want to, you can.
But I'm going to take it.
I will see how it goes.
I'll also get you a caught up on our schedule, some great stuff going on in our area.
All of that.
We're looking forward to it.
But I wanted to start off here with this very interesting story.
A woman in Northern Ireland named Catherine Stewart just got married.
And her wedding party was slightly bigger than most.
She ended up with 95 bridesmaids.
Whoa.
What?
Why?
Yeah.
She said she started with seven or eight, which is where most weddings top out.
But that's still a lot.
Yeah, yeah.
But she runs a dance school and eventually decided to just include all of her dancers.
Oh, okay.
That makes sense.
Her new husband, Jack, did not follow suit.
She had 95 bridesmaids.
He had eight groomsmen.
Eight?
You know, to be fair, men of a certain age and I am of that age, we don't have 95 friends.
I don't know if we have nine.
I don't know if that's possible.
I don't know many, but now maybe that's more than it might just be a person, be personally.
Yeah, but that's also not, you know, her friends.
Those are her students.
Right, right.
Well, different, if you're a teacher, you have students.
So, you know, you could, you could have them as your groomsmen.
I don't know if I know 95 people.
I am.
I'm so impressed that he had, you said eight groomsmen.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm still impressed with that number.
That's pretty good.
Yeah.
The entire wedding was 250 people and 103 of them were in the wedding party.
So over 40% of the guests at their wedding were also in the wedding.
And they, I bet you they had a really impressive dance number.
That's some of the video and some of the pictures of it seem to be, yeah.
They, they, it's almost one of those things where you don't want to go out on the dance floor after that.
Like, I don't want to follow that.
I don't know.
All of them walked down the aisle, but Catherine said it was went faster than you'd think.
Photos weren't a problem either because their dancers who quote,
know how to get information and organize themselves very quickly.
Oh, yeah.
So, actually, if you were going to have 95 people, these are perfect people to probably have to do.
Some other people to have.
Yep.
Dance students or, or theater people, both, both are, are able to do those things.
Now, a lot of our longtime listeners out there know we use this opening monologue often times
to get into world records and 90, 95 bridesmaids.
That seems like a record.
That seems pretty high.
It seems like it should be.
But it is not.
Really?
An American woman named Tina Ackles still wears the crown.
She got married in Tampa, Florida in 2015 with 168 bridesmaids.
Ufda.
Ufda.
Ufda?
Ufda.
Ufda.
Ufda.
Again, my question is, why?
Yeah.
Is it.
I have no idea what I'm talking about, but the little bit that I have been around wedding planning and everything.
I have heard it difficult for some, for women sometimes to choose.
Oh, you know, who do I have all my friends?
I don't know which ones I do, which ones I don't have standing up as bridesmaids.
Maybe it was that difficult that it just really couldn't decide.
You don't want everybody's getting in.
That seems like a really high number, don't I, man?
Yeah.
I'm looking at this article of Miss Ackles who broke that record back in 2015, and there's nothing really.
Okay.
So she is.
She was a American, Tina is a member of the American Businesswoman's Association.
She joined back in 1999.
Quote over the years, several of my ABWA sisters said that they wanted to be bridesmaids when we finally got married.
And this just, so she was there from 99 to 2015, so good, five, six years.
She's collecting names over and over and over.
And I guess she just didn't want to say no to anybody.
That's a lot.
Yeah.
I'm sorry, we've got listeners over in Florida.
Do you always take this with a grain of salt?
We appreciate you.
If you gave me, I could have got this in three guesses that this took place in Florida.
Easily.
It would have been your first guess.
Probably.
Probably would have been.
That's a fun story.
I was talking with Seth a little bit about this off-air.
I think it's a select, if I were a celebrity.
I don't think that there's anything that I would really want to take advantage of or anything being famous,
except the idea of being able to crash weddings.
With the way Bill Murray or Tom Hanks will do these things,
just out of the blue, Kiana Reeves does this and stuff,
where they just like weddings, so they'll just show up.
Just show up.
And I've heard a little bit of some people.
I've never heard anybody who's actually been a part of these weddings complain.
But I've heard some people say, well, the celebrity shows up.
They're going to take away from the special day.
The bride and the groom.
Yeah.
In some ways, maybe.
I also feel like that's quite a story.
Yeah.
I don't even remember the name.
Jack Black crashed my wedding.
Yeah.
That'd be awesome.
Yeah, I feel like that's worth it.
I feel like that's okay.
That is one thing, if I were famous, I would definitely be doing it.
Just randomly showing up at par mitzvahs and weddings and just, hey, how's it going?
I heard this an open bar.
It would be fun.
It would be fun.
It would be fun.
And, you know, an excuse to party.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It seems like another one of those reasons to do it for sure.
I got this one that I will get.
Oh, you know what?
I want more time with this.
So we'll get into it a little bit.
For now, we'll take our first time out of the show.
We'll come back.
We'll do some celebrating with our friends over at El Café,
who are open for the week.
Hey, hey, hey.
Get on over there, everybody.
We'll talk more about that in a moment.
It's Melissa and James taking you through your morning at WFH arcs.
You heard pit bull.
It's time to do some celebrating with our great friends at El Café
and the birthday and anniversary club.
One of our favorite parts of the day we get to talk about you
and talk about our great friends over at El Café treat yourself.
Get on over there.
It's going to be 2021 market.
I have them beautiful poor dead ones.
They're open.
That's right.
And they have fresh strawberry pie.
I want that.
Yeah, that sounds really good.
And strawberry cheesecake.
Oh, man.
Oh, strawberry.
Okay, change from my mind.
And that one.
And rhatt and rhubarb crumb.
I like crumb pies.
And strawberry rhubarb pie.
That's probably one of my all-time favorites.
Really?
Yeah.
It's really good.
It's really good.
Yeah, there's not a bad choice.
There's not a bad choice.
No.
Just be willing to be bendable.
You know, when you get there and you had something in mind
that you wanted to do it.
You're going to be in decisive.
Yeah, yeah.
There's too many good things to choose from.
And they're specials.
They have a Hawaiian omelette today.
Ooh.
So if you like ham and pineapple on pizza,
maybe you like it in an omelette with mozzarella cheese.
A shout out to the whole staff of El Café.
Certainly, you know, Fidel and the amazing work he does over there.
That staff, whether it's the cooks and the great food that they make
or that waiting staff that really has to wait on people
because they just sit there forever.
I'm sorry.
I'll make a decision in a moment.
Just give me one more second.
I can't make a decision.
There's so many good things there.
And their classic ex-bendedict is fabulous also.
Great people.
Which is also a special this week.
Yeah.
Check it out, everybody.
Head on over to 221 Market Avenue.
Beautiful Port Edwards.
Buy local support, local support.
Those that support this community.
Appreciate our friends over there.
Right people.
Gotta get that death by chocolate.
I'm really gonna try that.
Just dying for it.
I really am.
We encourage you to get us your birthdays and anniversaries, everybody.
We love celebrating with you.
Especially when you're able to join us live on the air.
It's a lot of fun.
You can email us if that's easier.

You can always direct messages on either of our Facebook pages,
WIRI or WFHR.
We'll see you in either way.
And of course, you can call up.
That's right.
You can call 715-424-2600.
And talk with us live on air.
You can also use the Civic Media app, which is free.
Just download it.
And then you hit the button once or twice.
There's like steps.
But it's easy.
It's a lot easier than remembering a number.
And you can also text us through that app.
Yeah.
Any way you need to get in touch with us, everybody.
We appreciate it.
They encourage you to do so.
Let's take a look at our list for today.
Our local celebrities.
And we got a possible three qualifiers.
And one through three, Melissa.
Hmm.
Let's go with two.
Hey, all right.
Gives us that one.
So we can get right into it.
And first up, we want to wish a very happy birthday
to Dr. Richard Clawson.
Happy birthday, Dr. Richard.
Enjoy your day, sir.
Hope it's a good one for you.
And joy.
Thank you very much to whoever got us that birthday.
Mm-hmm.
And these next two have a little bit of a tie into each other.
First up, very happy birthday to Dale Villebaum.
Happy birthday, Dale.
Enjoy the day, sir.
Wishing you a good one.
And our qualifiers, celebrating their 25th anniversary,
their silver anniversary.
Brian and Wendy Young.
And Wendy's father is Dale.
Oh, they got married on her dad's birthday.
Oh, that's cute.
I wonder if that was planned.
I wonder.
It feels like one of those things that would just kind of like happen.
Like an almost coincidental and at the same time.
But you know, I could see, you know, do we get a purpose?
Well, you know, they're getting married in May.
And this was the weekend available.
Oh, it's also the birthday on Saturday.
All right.
Here we go.
It's a win-win.
And you're never going to forget the date.
You're never going to forget the day that way.
Yeah.
Either you're never going to forget this.
Yeah.
Well, always remember your anniversary.
Yes.
Yes.
That worked out for Dad.
Really good.
That was very nice of them to do that for Dad.
Happy 25th year to enjoy.
Oh, that's awesome.
Happy silver anniversary.
And you're qualifiers today.
Yeah.
Happy anniversary.
Now, I always like to encourage people when they are qualified
to brag to friends, strangers, animals.
I would specifically recommend to Brian and Wendy
to brag to Dale.
Definitely one of them.
Yep, yep.
Call you dad up to brag.
And thank you.
Again, everybody.
This is genuinely one of our favorite parts of the day.
We love doing this.
So, thanks for getting us those birthdays and anniversaries.
Who do you share your birthdays with?
Well, let's take a look at that list.
Robert Pattinson is 39 today.
Twilight and a lot of other great films as well.
And currently, the most current Batman.
One of the greatest draws in movie history.
Like, just period.
Like, just an incredible draw that man has.
Yeah, he's very chiseled.
Good actor.
Good.
Like, I missed a mark on him.
And I kind of like to apologize whenever I have a chance
because I wasn't in the Twilight stuff.
I was dating at the time.
So, of course, I've seen scenes from it and everything.
But I never really watched his acting
and I didn't put a lot to it.
I saw him in the lighthouse with William DeFoe
and he hung with William DeFoe so well.
Then I see him in a couple of other movies
and I'm like, man, this guy can do it.
Like, he's good.
He's a very, very talented actor.
He's really good.
And by all rights, seems to be one of those people
that people really enjoy working with too.
The Twilight stuff was a very different story
where not just for him,
but with the way a lot of people were treated
during the filming of those movies and everything.
Let's see here.
Samantha Morton is 48.
Alpha on the Walking Dead.
She is also in Who Lose Harliets.
And a bunch of other stuff.
Samantha Morton's been around a long time.
She's very good at what she does.
Oh, yeah.
I think I know her.
Oh, yes, I do.
Oh, she's really good.
I like her.
Yeah.
I see her in something and I get excited.
I just like her work a lot.
Real, you know, one actor gives everything they got kind.
Mm-hmm.
So as Ian Rowan, and I always mispronounced his name
and I apologize, but you'd know him if you saw him
40 years old for him, Ransy Snow and Game of Thrones,
probably the most popular character he's played,
but great character actor.
Really good.
Very talented English character.
Irish character actor.
Darius Rucker is 59.
Of course, made famous from Whoody and the Blowfish,
but has had an incredible solo career.
And again, we were celebrating his birthday
who played Wagon Wheel on the Sunrise show today
over on 105, 5, Seth and I.
And we're talking about it.
He's been, he's from South Carolina.
So country music, you know, blue grass,
that's really his thing.
That's what he grew up with.
But he's been doing the solo act
and the country thing for so long now.
It's getting to a point where he's done that longer
than he was in Whoody and the Blowfish.
Which is interesting to think of his legacy
or whatever kind of being known more as a solo artist.
That would be interesting if that's how that works out.
Yeah.
It would be.
And Seth was saying, apparently,
him and Whoody and the Blowfish still tour together and stuff.
Really?
Oh, that's cool.
Stephen Colbert is 61 genius comedian
behind the late show.
Worked, of course, on the daily show for a long time.
It's where he got his big break,
spinning that into the Colbert rapport,
which, of course, spun into him doing the late show.
Yeah.
One of my favorite things to do when I was at Second City
was going to the archives and looking at the early sketches
of Stephen Carell and Steve Colbert
when they would work together.
And they both got their break together at the same time
on the daily show.
And they would do their Stephen and Stephen sketches on there.
Well, I saw the early runnings of those.
And man, they're just so good.
It's so fearless.
And Stephen Colbert comes from a really giant family
and had a lot of hang-ups about his looks
and some of these things.
To see where he is now is really impressive.
Like, you talk about somebody that really made his own way
and did it on his own merits and all those things.
To get to where he is now.
To be, you know, really the co-host following Letterman.
That's quite impressive.
And a lot of successful work over his career.
Very funny writer too.
Very funny writer.
He's got an epic sense of timing.
Yes.
comedic timing.
And yeah, I think it's just very smart man.
Jimmy Kimmel is well liked and everything.
But it's pretty well known in the industry.
Nobody loves, as far as doing the talk show circuit,
most people will have the late show as their last interview.
Because it's so fun.
And they love working with Stephen Colbert.
It's also noteworthy too.
Two big things about him on doing the late show.
One.
So for a long time, whether it was Carson or Letterman,
they would have, oh, you're going to do Joan Rivers show.
Oh, you're going to do Conan show?
Well, that person's never allowed on my show if they do their show.
And so they would do this thing.
And it was really tacky, I think.
Yeah.
It was the way the industry was back in the day.
And I'm not judging these people.
But it's the one mark that these two gentlemen
that I really look up to have on them.
Where Stephen Colbert is the exact opposite.
He'll have you on.
And he wants to make sure that you want to come back.
I respect and I like the way that he runs that show.
Well, that's much more admirable than let's be clicky.
If you come on my show, you can't go on anybody else's.
Let's dumb.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I stand, I will die on this hill.
The greatest rebounder in basketball history.
Dennis Rodman is 64 today.
Dennis Rodman, obviously we could spend hours talking about him
off the court and all that stuff.
And that's somebody else's story to talk about.
I'm just talking about him as the basketball player
and a guy who literally came from nothing.
You read one paragraph of Dennis Rodman's upbringing
and it'll make you cry.
There's no way that we should know the name Dennis Rodman.
There's no world.
This is the only parallel universe
where Dennis Rodman probably made it.
You talk about coming from nothing.
He truly did.
He's got a very like almost Dolly Parton like background.
And just in getting a chance to be on multiple championship winning teams
whether it's a Detroit Pistons or the Chicago Bulls.
And knew right away, okay, I can't shoot.
I can't do certain things.
But I am tall.
I am Linky and I can rebound.
Dennis Rodman would spend hours watching players
and when they would miss shots where the ball would ricochet
and where it would land.
And he would be...
Yeah, so he could anticipate it.
Yeah, and just incredible.
The way his like six cents for this
that I've never seen anything like it since.
There's been some incredible rebounders
and guys that are biggest trees way bigger than Dennis Rodman
and they could not even get close to the rebounding
and out hustle him and rebounding.
Just focusing on him as the basketball player
as big of a bull's fan as I am,
as big as much as I love Michael Jordan and everything.
I don't think they win those other championships without him.
I think it was that integral to those teams.
I just remember the crazy colors in his hair.
Oh, yeah, yeah, the wild man.
Yeah, off the court whole other story, yeah.
Ellen Ball is 68, great TV creator,
six feet under true blood.
Also won the best original screenplay Oscar for American Beauty.
Really good writer, really good creative.
Yeah, a couple of those I watched most of true blood.
Yeah, I saw first the first couple episodes
and couldn't keep up with it.
I didn't have HBO at the time,
but I saw every single episode a six feet under.
It's one of the best shows I've ever seen.
And I really think it has the greatest series finale I've ever seen.
The show is all about a family that runs a mortician place
and it's got a lot of dark comedy in it and everything.
And without spoiling anything, the last episode,
it gives you every main character
and it kind of gives you a speed up of the rest of their life.
And I've never seen anything more creative like done
with a series finale than giving you a like finality
and a wrap up of every character.
It was really well written, really well done.
Well, in true blood, I also didn't have HBO,
but a friend had the DVDs and she let me borrow them.
But once I got to the season that was focused on like witches,
it got too scary for me and I stopped.
Yeah, the days of bowering DVDs.
Oh God, I remember that.
Yes.
How many shows I got to see in movies I got to see
because of friends doing them?
The legend, the genius, Stevie Wonder is 75.
Wow.
Man, 125 Grammys.
Most ever by a male solo artist.
Just incredible artist.
I have a hard time believing anybody out there listening.
There's not at least one Stevie Wonder song you don't like.
There's got to be at least one you like.
I wouldn't say that Stevie's like my top five favorite artists
of all time, but it doesn't matter what mood I'm in.
If there's a certain Stevie Wonder song comes on,
it gets me grooving.
I hear superstition, I hear boogie woman certain songs.
I can't help myself.
I literally can't help myself.
Look at my body.
I'm like, what are you doing?
We're sad right now.
Why are you bopping your head?
It's incredible artist.
Incredible.
Harvey Kaitel is 86.
Wonderful actor.
Just actor.
I don't want to say character.
Just incredible actor.
Pulp Fiction Taxi Driver, Reservoir Dogs.
Just great.
And then some people no longer with us.
And man, two greats here.
Richie Valens, born in the state in 1941.
In the Chicano Hall of Fame, gave us La Bamba.
La Bamba is a classic.
Such a beauty.
I love this song.
It's inspired of it.
But if you're looking for a great way of honoring Richie Valens,
I think one of them is Sleepwalk.
His instrumental.
It really gives you a chance to understand that he was a really,
he had the opportunity to be one of our better guitar players,
along with being a great solo artist and one of the first Latino artists out there.
You know, in the rock era and everything, certainly.
You don't need me to tell you, you know what happened.
Rich of 17 in the horrible plane crash.
Oh my goodness.
I didn't realize it was so young.
Yeah, 17.
Yeah.
One of my favorite movies is La Bamba.
Part of it is nostalgia.
I wanted to see Inner Space.
Me and my cousin, Lisa wanted to see Inner Space with Martin Short.
And my uncle Rich, Lisa's dad.
He was mezzanatos.
He was a native and Mexican.
And I didn't say that right.
But it was important to him that we saw La Bamba.
And we didn't want to see this movie where little kids went away.
And we were locked in.
That movie had us.
It was little kids.
Yeah.
We loved it.
Yeah.
Wow.
One of the greatest fighters of all time, boxing legend Joe Lewis born in the state in 1914.
And the great, the wonderful Be Arthur born in the state in 1922.
Just incredible.
Be Arthur's career.
Not only as a stand up comedian, which he was.
I don't know if everybody knows that or not,
but she was a, it's really where she got her start was doing stand up comedy.
And of course, you know, famous from, you know, most of us are generation.
A lot of people, the golden girls.
And the incredible comedic timing and deadpan and delivery.
The delivery of Be Arthur is legendary.
Well, she was kind of the dry deadpan humor, right?
Yes.
Yes.
She was, she, everybody had their, their bit and their part that they leaned into when they played in that show.
Like you do and see Tiffany on TV sitcoms.
That's what the sitcoms were made of for many years.
Her role, everyone of them played it perfectly.
Hers was so difficult to do, but they had the perfect actor to do it.
Yeah.
And Be Arthur.
But Mod should be mentioned as well.
Mod was really, I don't know if that was her big break, but I would say it was.
And of all the groundbreaking TV and TV history, Mod is in the top three.
The subject matter that they talked about on that show.
The fact that it was a leading woman on the show.
That it was Be Arthur, in particular.
There are so many things about that show that are not talked about.
That are, I mean, they are the definition of trailblazing.
I never saw it.
And there was a lot of it that, you know, hearing her in interviews and stuff.
She had a hard time after that getting some work.
Because I wouldn't see shoes blackball, but it's close to it.
And, you know, so it makes the success of Golden Girls in the end of her career that much more rewarding, I think.
Wow.
It had 22 episodes in Earth.
Wait, no, that season one.
Yeah.
Did it have more than one season?
I believe so.
I want to say it did.
Okay, I thought so.
I thought so.
It was before my time, but I do know my mom talking about it and, you know, just hearing about it and seeing episodes.
Certainly certain specific episodes going back and watching them.
We will take our first time out, a big time out with our news, sports and entertainment break.
We'll take care of our partners and we'll come back.
And what is this, a six word phrase that is a huge red flag for doctors?
Get into that when we get back on the morning show here at WFHR.
Welcome back, everybody.
Melissa and James hanging out with you on a Tuesday.
We hope that the day is starting good for you out there.
I'm trying to get used to the new time slot here.
I'm still, I feel like I'm either behind an hour or ahead an hour and I'm trying to get the timing down.
Well, you've had a lot of years to get used to the other, so it'll be all right.
You will get in this way, good things, right?
One day at a time.
This is an interesting one and again, we're going to Florida.
An ER doctor in Jacksonville, Florida is trending after he revealed the six word phrase he sees as a huge red flag, specifically when a guy says it.
Whenever he hears it, he assumes something is very serious.
Very serious is going on with the man's health until proven otherwise, he believes.
Okay.
So what's the phrase, the six words that worry him the most are, my wife made me come in.
It's a red flag because men are more likely to ignore health issues or tough it out instead of seeing a doctor.
So if your wife made you come in, there's a good chance of a real health issue there.
Just real quick note.
Guys, I mean, really, guys, that's it.
That's all I got.
Just like, I mean, I'm calling myself out onto this too.
I swear to God, I am one of the worst in the world at this.
Please don't think I'm pointing the finger three or pointing right back at me rightfully so.
But just really, guys, we got to, we got to, I mean, just, I don't know.
Other doctors are applied in the comments with more phrases they see as red flags and there's a similar one for women.
It's a red flag if she says anything like, I don't want to waste your time with this, but...
Hmm, yeah.
The complete article is at the at the dailymail.com if you want to check it out, everybody.
I mean, there's a lot of layers to this one, I feel like.
There are, and both of them have similarities between them because a woman doesn't want to waste somebody's time with what she thinks is a trivial problem.
And a man doesn't want to waste his time with what he thinks is a trivial problem.
Yeah.
Both of those could be serious health, you know, things wrong with your health that need to be taken care of and you're not wasting anybody's time including your own.
Both have their place, you know, and their understanding.
They both have their, I don't know for lack of a better word, sadness to them too, that it takes men this to get them to take care of themselves or pay attention to that or at least take it seriously.
And that, you know, women are so inclined to not put themselves first or some of these things and feel like even in a serious health condition situation that they're, you know, possibly wasting somebody's time.
Like, that makes me sad those things for each sex and everything.
At the same time, we're running a comedy show.
And trying to find my funny bone here a little bit.
It's not going to be found in the state of our health care system in this country.
No, that's the other part.
And that just really, because all of this also comes back to that of, well, I'd look, I think that the majority of us would love to be able to go to the doctor for a lot of things.
But we all, every single person listening can relate to the idea of, well, is it serious enough or is it something I can live with?
We treat ourselves like our cars.
Yeah.
We're, none of us are driving around a pristine vehicle.
But we keep riding them.
We keep driving.
And we're going to drive, like, how many times have we said, or you've heard somebody say, I'm going to drive it till it's off, you know, until the wheels fall over.
Right.
Yeah, drive it till it's, it's really, really dead.
Because, I mean, we can't afford to not.
But the same is true of ourselves, you know, and what do they say?
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
And it's true.
But if you have to take time off work to go to the doctor and you don't get paid for that time.
And then when you go to the doctor, you get charged for the visit, which, and most of us can't afford to do that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it's a catch 22.
It's like, well, we're going to be more in debt for going to try to see this.
If it's not serious, it's not worth it.
Because now I can't pay my rent.
And it, you know, it doesn't make sense to any of us, except for the people that are collecting the money.
It doesn't add up.
But I want more of a list of this.
I want a complete list.
I want all the phrases.
I want all of them.
Because I've spent a lot of time in ERs in my life.
And I, there are, and, you know, we all, I don't know, maybe we all don't do this.
But, you know, we people watch.
And you're seeing people in the ER.
And there are so many times where we're like, how did that happen?
You can't help yourself.
You're curiosity.
And you're not going to go and ask the person or anything.
Because that would be rude.
But, man, it'd be interesting to know.
If it's some of these stories, some of these would be interesting to know.
I feel like if you-
That's why doctor shows are so well-loved.
Yeah.
I mean, house, come on.
We didn't like house.
Or monk.
Monk was, well, that was a detective show.
I know what you're saying, though.
Yeah, similar, similar type of.
How did that happen?
Chicago Hope ER.
There's been so many medical-
is seeing almost fire.
Not seeing almost fire.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
What am I thinking of?
Back when I was a kid.
Crazy anatomy.
There's so many.
It's one of those go-tos if you're a network.
You almost have to have a good medical drama.
I know that a lot of people were talking about the pit.
They know a wily one on HBO.
A lot of people like that one.
So there's always a-
I feel like no matter what the time,
there's always going to be a medical drama.
Even more than maybe a-
Not a political-
A courtroom drama.
Yeah.
There's always courtroom shows, too.
Two of those go-tos if you're a network.
Yes.
And understandable.
You're not getting hurt and people going-
getting in trouble with the law.
I mean, yeah.
Where are we fascinated with those things?
It's a great question.
That's a great question.
We were thinking the same thing.
Like, it's like, wait a minute.
Yeah.
One other story here.
I wanted to touch on.
And this one has a bit of a local tie to it.
You can go to goodnewsnetwork.org,
check out the complete article and the pictures.
Because they go really perfectly with the story.
While driving through rural Iowa at dusk,
Kurt Massimila and his family experienced a once-in-a-lifetime
wildlife encounter.
Spotting not one, but two rare albino deer.
The Dubuque area residents witnessed a rare incident
with some estimates placing the odds of seeing two gather together
one in 40 million.
It's a one in 40 million chance of seeing two albino deer
together according to this article.
Wow.
We all know that's not the case here in Wisconsin.
Rapid.
Right.
Like, exactly.
Like, how spoiled are we?
Right.
I would say for at least going on 10 years now,
where my parents live, we, at least this time of year
and maybe even one or two other times a year,
we'll see a family of albino deer.
I've got, I will post on our Facebook page,
the most recent video I took of one.
Because over these 10 years, I've seen them a lot.
I never saw what I saw the other day, Melissa.
I was walking my fur brother Sam.
Boom, I look up, there's one of those deer.
But it's looking at me.
And, you know, trying to figure me out and everything.
And I'm walking Sam in the front of the house.
And across the street is our neighbors,
who are great people, shout out to them.
And they've got a bird feeder up front
and in their front yard.
This deer is walking and making a beeline for it.
So I'm trying to film the deer and my Jeep gets in the way.
So there's a moment in the video where you miss the deer
and it's just my Jeep.
And then all of a sudden I get right back to the deer
and it's staring right at me.
It's staring right at me.
And then decides to just eat.
And then it just started eating food out of the bird feeder.
Like it was nothing.
Like it was.
So I decided you weren't a threat.
Yeah.
And the food was more interesting.
I can't blame it, really.
I don't know.
I mean, as much time as I've spent out here and everything,
I still have not gotten used to animals while life animals.
It's still, it's still incredible to me.
It is pretty neat when you can be close to them like that.
I saw two albino deer on the road
coming back from Rudolph into town just the other.
It's probably been like maybe a week, maybe two weeks.
Huh.
But yeah, within the last couple of weeks
I saw two of them together.
Really?
I guess we are just that lucky.
Yeah.
Part of the reason I wanted to bring this up
is for those that don't know.
I think it's kind of interesting.
The genetic mutation that causes albinoism and deer
results in a lack of pigmentation.
Making them stand out starkly against their surroundings.
So it's illegal to hunt them in Iowa and in other US states.
That's a great law.
Please don't shoot our albino deer.
I would think if you were a hunter, you know,
I don't know, the honor in the game or whatever.
I don't know.
I can't see a lot of honor in doing something like that.
And also just like the history of white animals being sacred.
Yes.
Yeah.
I would think that no matter what you're creed or whatever,
you get that.
Yeah.
That's some bad juju there, buddy.
Don't do it.
Yeah.
It's just asking for bad karma.
Yeah.
Estimates calculate that albinoism occurs
about once in every 30,000 deer births.
Deer can also exhibit a lexous lexism,
a condition that causes the lack of pigment,
resulting in white patches, or a fully white coat.
So some albino just have patches of white,
which is what we see in a lot of deer.
I think Bambi was like that or something.
Yeah.
Well, they look like that when they're babies,
because that's their spots, so they can blend in.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That makes sense.
But it happens then.
I didn't know that.
Yeah.
When they're adults, I think it's, is it lexism?
Yeah.
That's the way I was trying to say.
Yes.
Yeah.
And I don't know if I'm saying it right either.
What it is, yeah.
Interesting.
Where patches go white.
Deer cool.
Deer.
That's what I end with this.
As long as they stay out of the front of my car.
Yes.
It's like that hit in both places.
We just need to get them to learn the rules of the road.
We just need it.
We will take a time out.
We'll come back.
And we got five foods.
Even chefs won't make from scratch.
Come on up.
Good morning.
At WFHR.
Welcome back, everybody.
Morning show at WFHR.
Listen, James, hanging out with you.
Thank you so much for joining us.
We'll take you right to the top of the hour.
And getting some entertainment news when we get in there.
A little bit later in the 10 o'clock.
We're getting into a fun one.
This quick home test to check your brain health.
You get into that in a little bit.
Sorry.
This one's another, I think, interesting one.
The five foods that even chefs won't make from scratch.
Someone asked professional chefs to name things,
even the even they buy premade.
Making them yourself is either not worth the effort
or homemade just isn't as good.
Okay.
I thought that part, that latter part,
was what stood out to me, I thought.
Especially once I glanced over the list.
I didn't dive into it or anything.
I wanted to get into it with you, Melissa.
But I did look at glanced at some of these.
And the first one on the list, in particular, pasta.
Yeah, fresh is better.
But that much better, if you're just trying to put dinner on the table,
dried pasta is the way to go.
If you have the time.
And especially if it's just, you know, I remember,
for my Papa's birthday, he would like,
always, these weird foods like liver and onions
or something like that.
Me and my Nana didn't eat that.
So, my Nana would usually make homemade pasta for those,
because it was just turn-i.
And that was, to me, as a kid, it was fun.
I enjoyed doing it.
But we didn't make a lot, and we had time.
They were retired.
It was summer, you know?
Yeah.
Not summer.
It was winter.
It was just, I don't know, I thought it was fun.
But I was a kid.
I haven't done this in adult.
Well, and to make large amounts of it,
I think if you had a big family, it would take a lot of effort.
But I've always been fascinated by the idea of making my own pasta.
I've never done it.
But actually, lately, I've been watching videos of making rice-based,
like rice flour pasta,
which seems to be a lot easier than your regular,
like, you know, the Italian-style pasta.
Yeah.
So, I might still try that.
We'll see.
Salsa.
Every grocery store has fresh salsa in their refrigerator aisle now,
so find a brand you like and just go with it.
I love it.
I'm always used to make salsa, though,
and hers is so much better.
I've known a lot of people to make their own salsa,
and yeah, it's unique.
It's different.
I've never had a bad one.
Well, there was the one year of the cilantro year.
My mom, and I don't think we ended up eating it.
It was just a lot of cilantro.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, it was, like, overload,
even for people who, like, because, you know,
there's two factions, ones that, like,
cilantro and ones that it tastes like soap.
Yep, yep.
So, yeah.
Even those of us that liked it couldn't eat it.
I feel like avocado seem to be like that.
Like, there's people that love them, love them,
love them, and then there's people that,
no, I don't want none to do with them.
Catch up.
This was, that's new to me.
It makes perfect sense, but I hadn't thought about people
making their own catch up.
Not a lot of people do this, and there's a reason.
The big brands nailed the recipe a long time ago,
and we've even got, we've even got, quote, natural
and, quote, sugar-free options now, too.
There are a billion types of catch up,
or flavors of catch up and everything.
Did they, did they nail the right recipe,
or are we just used so used to that recipe
and what that flavor is?
Well, because if you try catch up, like,
in, say, for instance, London,
you're going to be like, this isn't catch up,
because it doesn't have the sugar.
Yeah.
We're used to, like, Heinz catch up,
which has a crap ton of sugar in it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The other thing, the burwers have a special sauce they use.
It's nothing like catch up, but it is.
And, yeah.
So that makes me, and I love it.
I love it.
Any time.
Sources are amazing.
They make everything better.
It's really good.
And, and it just makes me think that if you were to make
your own catch up, you could probably have some fun with it.
Oh, yeah.
You could.
But what, that would be pretty labor intensive, I think,
for, yeah.
I don't know.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It, that's, that's, it feels like that.
We're already three into this.
And, and that, that's exactly where I'm coming back to.
It's the time.
Yeah, it's the time.
We don't have the time to make these things.
Are you kidding?
Manace.
Boy, there are a few subject matters I know less about than
Manace.
Again, they're, they're point, they're, the point in the end of
this is, is it worth the time.
There's just not a great reason to be making your own
condiments in 2025.
No.
And then the other thing too, especially with something like
Manace as safety, because you don't have the ability to
pasteurize your Manace at home if you make it from scratch.
And, and it is basically just, you know, eggs and oil.
Yeah, that feels like a big one.
I wouldn't mess around.
I'm not messing around with that one.
No.
Well, especially right now, yeah, with concerns about
bird flu and the, the, the, the dialing back of protections
and, and checks in our food system here in the United
States, I, I would not eat a raw egg.
I wouldn't do it.
And we wrap up with bread.
If baking is something you enjoy, keep doing it.
But if you're just trying to save some money, remember
time is worth your money too.
A lot of grocery stores sell fresh baked bread, you know,
or hit a bakery.
Um, I can see.
But that's also like, you know, depends on how much
preservatives you want.
Because if you've ever baked, baked your own bread,
you realize how quickly fresh baked bread will mold.
Oh, okay.
And if you even buy fresh baked bread from a grocery store,
they still put a bunch of preservatives in it.
So it lasts longer, which I mean, understandable.
They want their product to sell and still be usable.
Yeah.
But if you have a concern about putting those preservatives
in your body, it's something to think about.
I love bread.
So I want to make my own bread, but I don't, I've never,
I've never even looked into it.
So I don't know where to begin.
You should just get a bread machine, James.
Yeah, that's what I heard.
Yeah.
But because it is very simple and all you have to,
you, you're still making your own bread, but the machine
is doing the work for you.
I, and I feel like that's probably the, this,
for society, that's probably the best way for me to do it.
Um, I don't know what disaster I could cause trying to
make my own bread on my own, but I don't feel like we need to,
we don't need to chance that.
I don't think you'd make a disaster.
I think you would just, uh, you, you wouldn't have the time
because you are so busy.
Yeah.
And bread making does require you to be attentive to the rising
and the, the time and the temperature.
I mean, there's a lot of factors in bread making.
I know it's not on the list, but you set that in immediately.
I thought of, because I've, I've really wanted to start making my own
cookies and donuts and all that.
And it's not the ingredients or the money or any of it.
It's time.
It's the reason why I haven't even got bought one ingredient is just,
I, I think about it.
I'm like, well, I buy the ingredients and they got a shelf life.
And I don't know if I'm going to make it before this day.
They run out and I, I hate wasting food.
I hate wasting food.
So I, I didn't, you know, definitely even gotten into it yet.
But, yeah, yeah.
That's one, uh, the one to try.
And you can find this complete list at foodinwind.com,
and send us your list of what you brought by versus what you make
because you just don't have the time, energy or desire.
I think that would be a lot of fun to get into.
I might even be a good kitchen's open segment.
I don't know.
But what?
She knows what she's doing.
That's bad business.
You don't need my help.
She doesn't need my, my, my, uh, tastes or anything.
Oh, but, you know, suggestions are always appreciated, right?
Yeah, yeah.
And we could really use your help, though, with our little charlots,
animal rescue, everybody.
This is pet drive we're doing with our sister station 10555WRI.
Uh, we're looking to help out our, our four babies out there.
And our, our friends, our furry friends, uh, blankets and towels,
dog cat food treats, toys, kennels and crates, garden hoses,
cleaning supplies.
Any one of these items can help out so much.
We're, uh, doing this till the end of the month.
And you could drop off items at, from the ground up coffee house
at, uh, 250 West Grand Avenue here in Rapids.
Uh, also, uh, quality foods, uh, both locations at West Grand
and Baker Drive.
People stay bank and point, family, natural foods,
and West Grand Avenue, uh, lying healthcare, chiropractic
and plover, mission coffee house and plover, uh, junkyard bar
and grill, blah, wow, meow and Wisconsin Rapids.
Oh, wow.
And of course, the WRI and WFHR studios.
Thank you so much to everybody who's already dropped off items.
We'll see, uh, when you drop off more.
Mm-hmm.
Melissa and I'll be back with more show.
This is locally grown radio.
Don't you?
