Redford is such a Handsome Dude

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'm joined by Seth, good morning, and the best listeners in radio.

Thanks for being here, everybody.

We appreciate the time from all of you.

We're going to get into some fun stuff in a little bit.

We've got some entertainment news for you.

Got to cover up other topics.

But it is a Thursday in the 10 o'clock hour, you know what that means.

It's time for the pet of the week when the South O'Caniah main society, big thank you

to Milltown Coffee for joining us in sponsoring this segment.

We really appreciate them.

I want to thank Denise for being here as always.

Denise, thanks so much for the time.

Thank you.

I appreciate the invites.

I want to apologize to the audience.

I'm a little off this segment.

I'm a little sidetracked because they know the dog, and I say it too much, I know, but

I have not seen a dog like this before.

This is a very unique, beautiful coat on Redford here.

Yup, he's very unique.

I always tell people, if God made a perfect dog, it would take the best features from many

different dogs.

This would be it.

Yes, incredibly.

I know I get a little bit sidetracked here when we bring in a pet and all those things,

but this is, I mean, Redford is just a very unique, beautiful dog, and incredibly sweet.

Yeah, he is.

He loves everybody.

He's not shy or another dog's or cats or any people, small children.

He's good.

He's the best.

He's like a mix between a shepherd and a blue tick healer.

And I love the names that you guys come up with, or when you guys do, sometimes they have

the name, of course, when they come to the shelter.

I don't know if I've ever seen a more accurately named animal in my life, because this dog

says, hamptom as Robert Redford.

It's charming as Robert Redford.

I'm not exaggerating.

I'm under selling this, by the way.

That's a great talk.

What can you tell us about Redford, Denise?

King Tuis is a stray.

He was running for like a month or so.

People had been trying to catch him, and they finally got him in a live trap and brought

him in.

He's been with us a little over a month.

He's amazing.

He's really good with kids.

We did a meet and greet last week, and the first thing he did was went up to the little

kids and gave them both kisses, and they were like, toddler age.

He loves kids.

Yeah, he's very friendly, how's trained?

At the risk, I don't want to put you on the spot or anything like that, but he is

such a well-behaved dog.

Seems like he has such people skills and all that, so it certainly seems like he came

from a home.

Did he have a microchip or anything like that?

No chip.

No, unfortunately, but obviously he has been with a family that loved him and cared for

him because he's got, he's very good socially.

It's just, I couldn't help but use the reminder that getting your animals chipped and how important

that is and everything.

It is, yep.

Because it's not, I know that as humans, and it's understandably so, and I don't disagree

with this, do we think right away of the family and then missing this animal or something

like that?

The animal is going to miss the family, too.

It goes both ways.

Yeah, he doesn't know what to do or what's going on.

And with that, though, one of the beautiful things we have in our society is our shelters,

so that Redford can go to a good home and have a second act here and really brings, because

not an old dog by any means, two years old.

Yeah.

I just mean, you know, another family to kind of really be able to bring this happiness

too, because my God, I've never done this before where I almost told you like, you can't,

that can't be a pet of the week.

I'm going to adopt that dog.

There is no, I'm sorry, this week we don't have one.

He's gone.

We apologize, everybody, but yes, it's fine before we even went on the air, but not only

sweet and kind, but certainly a dog that seems like it would work well with just about

any kind of family.

And we don't get to say that all the time, mom.

Yeah, absolutely.

He doesn't have the blue tequila energy.

He doesn't jump much.

He's not real vocal.

He doesn't bark a lot at the shelter.

He's just, yeah, he's ready for a family right now.

He even likes Seth.

He doesn't.

Yeah.

He's a sweet dog, very sweet dog.

Denise, as hard as it is for me to talk about anything other than Redford right now,

how are things going at the shop?

Really, really good.

We are making plans for our open houses.

We are going to have several to accommodate the community and nighttime, daytime, weekend.

Those dates will be coming up very shortly and kitten season.

We have our first couple of litters of kittens going to foster.

So keep your eyes open if you see a mama and kiddies, let them be, or if they're not

safe, give us a call and we will tell you how to proceed.

I almost was going to reach out to you guys a little while ago.

There was a cat that was roaming around and it turned out it was a neighbor across the

streets cat and everything, but it was something that you've gotten our heads and I appreciate

that.

Yeah.

People are just amazing.

They love the animals and they want the best for the animals.

So always call or just give it a minute and if it goes home, then that's where it belongs.

Do you guys have any events or anything you wanted to touch on coming up?

We don't.

Our next event is in the fall, the 5K-9 walk.

That's September 20th, otherwise we will be at lunch by the river starting.

We're doing a couple of library talks in Nukusa and things to come.

I was, we had the chamber in the other day and we were talking off air about you guys being

at lunch by the river.

That's what I was thinking of.

You're excited.

It's really cool.

That's a great combination.

It is.

I know that whenever we see.

I know back in the day, we used to see sometimes a pet of the week at other events and stuff.

That's really great to hear for all these animals.

For them, certainly the end goal is to get them to a forever home.

But even when we're not able to do that, them getting out of the house a little bit.

For Redford to hear, he's getting smells he's never had before.

That's like finding a new favorite TV show.

It's pretty cool for these animals to be able to have that experience too and I love

that for them.

You want to remind everybody that there is an excellent newsletter you can sign up for

with the South of County Main Society.

Keep up to date on the things that they have going on over there.

You can do that by going to their website.

Denise, when we're, you know, comes up with things that we can do to help out, donations,

that sort of thing.

Is it easier to call ahead than dropping things off?

Is that a usually a good idea?

Yeah, it's easier for everyone if you can call ahead that way on the days that we're

closed.

If someone's there, we can accommodate that.

Otherwise, just drop it off.

If we're closed, you can put it by the kitten gazebo on the far side of the building.

Otherwise, we're in need of cat litter and cat food, especially the patay liquid, you

know, soft food.

And then dog food, as always.

All right.

When it comes to the mountain, like, do you have, you mentioned kitten season earlier

and I'm meant to bring this up?

Do you have an influx of kitten adoptions going on?

Do you have a lot of them in?

We have a lot of people calling in for kittens, but we don't have any that are old enough

to go up for adoption yet.

They're all really, really tiny at foster.

But we have a, because about eight week old cat at the shelter, that's, that will be going

up for adoption soon.

She's just, everybody's favorite.

And with things wrapping up, I usually start here, but again, distracted.

You would think Robert Redford was actually in the room as distracted as I am.

When it comes to the construction going on to debt wrap up, is that, or is he just getting

close to wrapping up?

He's pretty much done, they're finishing up one of our bathrooms and then the alarm,

the per-arm security fire alarms will be installed today.

Otherwise, Altman is, is up and out.

They're good.

They're good.

Shout out to our friends at Altman Construction.

That's fantastic.

And thank you so much, Denise.

I guess you can drive back without, you know, you'll have more room driving back this

way.

This works out.

I'm leaving Redford.

Yep.

Yep.

And find out about your next best friend over at the South of County of Maine Society.

There got so many great animals over there just waiting for your help or your assistance

or your home.

We'll be talking with Denise next Thursday with another pet of the week.

Thank you so much for joining us, Redford and Denise.

Thanks for having us.

I appreciate you.

And a big thank you to Militown Coffee Shop.

We appreciate them sponsoring this segment.

Can not wait for them to open those doors and be trying some of that Militown Coffee right

here on the air.

It's going to be a lot of fun.

We'll meet them over there.

Yeah.

We'll be back with more show coming up, Morning Show at WFHR.

We need to play some steely then.

I got to clear my head.

I got a job to do.

I got two interviews yet to do.

Get focused.

I got to go on.

I got to half an hour.

Our left almost at the show here.

I got to lock him because I am very distracted.

I hope people don't realize I'm not doing a bit right now.

I'm genuinely very distracted.

Big thank you to Denise and Redford for joining us.

We'll have another pet of the week for you next Thursday, everybody.

That's the secret, by the way.

He started this whole pet of the week just so he could see animals.

Absolutely.

His ulterior motive.

The pet of the week was already here.

It's the reason I got in the radio.

It's the whole reason I'm still here.

All those things.

You got it.

You called it.

Good call, man.

Good call.

You know me.

Find out more about Redford and so many great animals over at the South

of County Main Society, swchs.com.

Thank you again to Milltongue.

Smart business owners out there may realize I have mentioned Milltongue coffee four times

in the last two hours.

That's right.

We're not on the contract.

On the contract, we mentioned them one time.

That's it.

We have filled our obligations.

But I'm going to mention them as much as I can because we buy local support, local around

here and we put our, we back that.

We appreciate those that want to sponsor with us here.

Be a part of the team.

Whether it's the kitchen's open or set faces in music or any of these other great things

we have.

Imagine how good it sounds with your name attached to that program or that segment.

The double, the double you get of advertising when you work with us here in radio.

You don't get that in print.

You don't get that in TV.

There's no other medium.

You can get that in.

No.

We can do that here all every day.

Yes, we can.

Reach out to our front office, our front desk, 715-424-1300, Pam will put you in touch

with our sales staff and get you a part of the team.

All right.

So let's dive into some entertainment news, Seth.

We're talking a little bit of the, honestly, the king of heavy metal, the king of heavy metal.

I know that there is a great debate about rock and roll among country, about all these

different genres.

I don't know how you can debate who the king of heavy metal is.

It's Aussie Osborne.

End of argument, end of discussion.

I don't know.

Go ahead and please give me whatever names you have.

I'd love to have this conversation, but I don't know how you can mention anything else.

So we talked about Aussie a little bit recently because he is going to be retirement.

Although it doesn't seem like rock stars ever really retire.

They don't seem to.

I was talking about this the other day.

It was Seth and I were joking.

The first real concert I went to was seeing KISS in 96.97 in their farewell tour.

Right.

And then we of course just got done not even a year ago, mentioning the KISS was wrapping

up tour.

Yeah, of course.

This is an example.

An example.

But Aussie says that that's not the case with him.

He's holding fast to his pledge to hang it up after the big show on July 5th.

Quote, I'd love to say never, say never.

But after the last six years I saw it is time.

I've lived on the road for 50 old years and I've kind of got used to not picking up my

bags and getting on the bus again.

Hey, it becomes a time in everyone's life, right?

Quote and boy, please hear me saying quote on this one.

I don't smoke or do anything like that anymore or any of the rock star lifestyle anymore.

I'm kind of like a home body.

I never go out.

I never hang out in bars.

I don't drink.

So why do I want a tour anymore?

Well, to be honest, to be fair, you know, that's a big part of it.

It really is.

Wow.

The fact, how old is he?

70?

He's in his 70s, right?

It's like, dude, yeah, you don't have to do that anymore.

I'm not saying this classless.

I'm not saying this.

If he, him and his wife wouldn't have said it multiple times.

It's a marvel.

He is still with us.

Yeah.

The fact that he's made it this long, some of the stuff he's done to his body, whoo.

Not everybody gets to be Jim Brown, not everybody gets a retire on the top of their game

or anything like that.

As far as retirement goes for musicians, this is as close as you're going to get really.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He doesn't have to worry about money.

He doesn't need to worry about any of that anymore.

You know, I just like enjoy your retirement, man.

Won't we, you and I on the Sunrise show we're talking about Alan Jackson and him to wrapping

up major touring.

Yes.

Still going to do some shows here and there, but he's pretty much, he's got one more

show, major show coming up in Nashville, and that's going to be his big goodbye performance

game.

His story is very similar to that.

And I know he has some health issues himself, and I wish him such well with that.

Absolutely.

But you don't get to do that very often.

It's not how it usually goes.

No.

Usually it's either, you know, life that does it or the audience by not going to your

show.

Yeah.

By not caring anymore, right?

Jennifer Lopez is 20 times younger, or 20 years younger than most of these guys, and

she can't sell a ticket right now.

Yeah.

So that's oftentimes the audience tells you, hey, you're retired.

Yeah.

We're done with you.

Thank you.

It's crazy to think of.

Yes.

And you don't have to like Ozzy Osborne or anything like that to not marvel at his life

in his career.

Yes.

I think that it's quite impressive.

It is.

I mean, the decades that he had, you know, it was relevant.

It wasn't just that that, you know, he kept going.

He had hits in the 80s and the 90s.

I mean, the man was really remarkable.

One other thing that I've always appreciated about him is his no filter, whether it's writing

song lyrics, or it is just him in a machine, and a quote machine that he has, when asked

why, you know, he wants to spend time with his family, he's got grandkids.

He doesn't get to see a lot.

And then quote, I don't want to die in a hotel room somewhere.

Hey, it's blunt in his real as it gets.

Like that's, you know, when you get to a certain age, absolutely, man.

He's up there.

I totally don't blame him for that either.

And he is dealing with Parkinson's disease and there's that.

So, you know, he's already in enough pain, you know, touring is just going to add to that

and stuff.

So, he can't perform a full set of shows anymore and all that.

But I saw him at the first OS Fest and I would have thought he was in his 40s.

It was incredible.

The way he was bouncing around that stage, he made almost everybody in that audience

feel like they were the only person in that room and Ed Alpine was the best performers,

right?

He's so good at this.

Again, I'm not even the biggest Aussie fan or anything like that.

I just come from, you know, a time when I thought that they really stood, they really, musically

really stood for something, really worth something.

And I admire somebody that could do this.

And related to Stephen Tyler and the surviving members of SoundGarden have been added to

the lineup.

That's kind of interesting.

Whoa.

Okay.

For his, for his farewell concert, wow, amazing.

It'll be huge.

Oh, I mean, there's already a bunch of people that have come out of the woodworks and

said that they are going to be there and stuff.

So, man, you can't let's, I mean, in the influence, Black Sabbath and Aussie himself, I mean,

you can sound garden.

You can hear it.

Listen to their stuff from the 90s, man.

You can hear the influence of Black Sabbath.

We were talking earlier about Morrissey and that genre of music.

That stems from Black Sabbath, the sad, gloomy kind of lyrics and all that.

Look at any, especially off that first album of Black Sabbath, you know, there's nothing

but the song Black Sabbath, especially.

It's, I don't know, quite a career.

Taking a look.

Now, here's an interesting note on this.

The Aussie Osborne, a biopic on Aussie and somebody to play Aussie, cannot even begin

to imagine what you would have to do casting wise and the widest of nets to try to find

somebody who could play Aussie Osborne.

But I say that and I would have said bit something very similar to Ringo Starr and some of

the other Beatles, of course, trying to find somebody to play John Lennon any of these

things.

Right.

Well, you and I and Melissa talked a little bit about this very, you know, impressive biophilms

that they're looking to do about the fab for.

Very ambitious.

Yes.

And Barry Cogan, Codigan, I can't think about his last name right now, but he begs these

a rising star.

He was on the internals, a couple of Netflix movies that he got a big name from as well.

He's going to be playing Ringo Starr in the upcoming four part biopic series to on the

Beatles.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

Okay.

To prepare, he went to meet Ringo at his home and like any fan, he froze.

He was on.

Seriously.

He was on Jimmy Kimmel talking about this and another kid that doesn't seem to really like

a lot of these guys that have grown up it with modern media and everything.

They're not putting on heirs.

They're not really going into these interviews like, oh, I have to sell this or I have to

sell myself.

I have to look perfect and sound perfect.

Yeah.

They're just comfortable in the in the in the cameras and everything like that.

And he says, quote, it was sort of one of those moments where you're in awe and just

frozen.

And when I was talking to him, I couldn't look at him.

I was nervous.

He said, you know, you can't look at me.

My job is to my job is to observe and taking the kind of mannerisms and study, but I want

to humanize him and bring feelings to him, not just sort of imitate him.

Right.

Kids good.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That kind of be such a hard thing to do, you know, doing.

It's one thing to do a biopic or a character, an actual live character person and act as

them when they're not around anymore.

How about when they're still alive?

Yeah.

That's got to be a whole different kettle of fish, man.

Yeah.

That seems like a kettle of fish.

I don't think you heard that one.

That's an old school.

I like that one.

I don't know where that came from.

I like that.

No, I like it.

That's good.

Everybody bring that up.

Oh, Lord.

When it went to me, so I have not played a lot of real life people.

I got the fortune to play Nicola Tesla, but there was no audio of Tesla.

There was no voice to go over anything.

And certainly was a man of many decades ago and stuff.

Right.

So it was a very different thing.

The only experience I really have with this is playing roles that are loved or iconic.

My real experience with this was doing to Killamockingbird and playing Sheriff Hector.

Not a household character, I would say, but where I was doing it in the Cal, they had

done to Killamockingbird over the decades many times and it had become a fan favorite

show in many ways.

It's weird to say, but so I ran into a number of people during the auditions and leading

me in during the show telling me, you got to make sure you do him this way and you got

to have your shirt on button.

And there was all these little notes and everything.

And then playing George Bailey and it's a wonderful life and the weight of that.

And I hadn't even seen it's a wonderful life in ages.

And I think a lot of Jimmy Stewart, but I wouldn't put him in my top 10 or anything.

But just immediately taken on that role in thinking of, wow, you know, Sherlock and

what it is.

I'm playing Sherlock and on Instagram, I get this message from somebody I don't know.

Somebody from Australia telling me, there's a Sherlock Holmes group of actors around

the world that have played Sherlock and that have joined this little Instagram group

and stuff.

Oh, that's cool.

Which only added more weight to it for me.

I don't know.

You're so right.

I think it's a much heavier task playing somebody who's still living right or even somebody

who has passed.

That is a much heavier weight to carry that I haven't really been able to relate to yet.

But there is a little bit of that with some of these iconic characters for to be sure.

Because they're so well known and because they're so iconic, right?

Barry said Ringo was absolutely lovely and they mostly spent time in his garden.

Ringo even played the drums for him and really, and they really enjoyed being around each

other.

Oh, man.

I'm so happy to see how they do this, you know, these four movies from the, it's going

to be really interesting.

I feel like with something like this, it's going to be very, for one, biopics don't traditionally

do, you know, break in the box office numbers and everything, you know, they tend to be

more for like a claim and that sort of thing, right?

And they usually have a good first week or two.

But these ones, I'm very curious to see the longevity, how long they stay in theaters,

how well they're in time.

Because I have a hard time believing people won't show up to at least the first one or two.

And which ones you start out with now, if I'm directing this and I'm sending this

out there, it's, it's pretty hard to choose, which, you know, you want to, in order for

the next three movies to be successful, you've got to come out the gate strong.

You do.

And that's a boy, do you go off of the, which, you know, obviously John Lennon Paul McCartney

into two more famous Beatles, right?

Or do you go with whatever the better story is?

Because I got a feeling that George Harrison one is going to be the best story of all of

these.

It's going to be interesting.

For those that don't know, this biopic that they're doing, they're doing a bio, four

different movies focused on each one of these, right, individuals, right?

From their perspective, which is very interesting, yeah.

So each one of the movies, it's a similar script, which eats one because you're being brought

to different moments in time with these guys, but they're going to be following a specific

one, right?

A specific angle.

Yeah, exactly.

You're going to get it from that perspective and everything.

And when it comes to that, I, I would think that George Harrison might have, or maybe

even Ringel being a bird on a wire, a, a bit, I mean, yeah, I don't know how you were.

This is going to be, this is a new experiment, the way they're doing this is like a, this

is not a concept that has been approached before.

They're going to be doing, it's going to be very interesting to see how they work this

out.

Can't wait to see it.

Can't wait for them to have them.

We want to get to our news break and we have coming up for you in our story, our good

stories of the day and everything a little bit later, some memorial day events and some

other things going on in our town.

And we know one of the things that we have going on this, coming up on Memorial Day, certainly

we won't have any of our live original programming here with you.

But we will have, after baseball, we'll have live sports.

Yes.

Yes.

They're returning once again to their home, WFHR right here.

Yeah.

All season long, every hit and every pitch, I'm going to be right here at WFHR and we're

excited about this season so much so that we got pocket schedules here.

Come on down, say hi to Pam, pick up a schedule and make your plans for Winterfield this

summer everybody.

Yep.

We'll, we'll be talking more about that as tomorrow as we get you ready for it and everything.

I knew I was going to do that.

I knew I was going to do that.

Todd, don't do it.

Horn in on our show here.

I don't mind Todd.

I don't, I appreciate Todd and we haven't got the work together yet really, but just give it

a little bit to break it or our show.

New sports and partner break coming up on the morning show.

You knew I had to do it.

I don't know.

I'm talking so much about bills.

I'm going to do it.

Welcome back everybody.

Stay in my head all day now to get you set and James here with you hope you're having

a good one out there speaking of how music can stay with you and stay in your hand those

earworms and everything.

Oh, yeah.

You know these songs seem to pop up in every other TV show and movie.

Some of them aren't as prevalent as they as you might think they are, but these are

the top 10 songs that have appeared the most in TV and movies.

Okay.

Wow.

Interesting list.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm really, I'm raring.

I want to know what's going on here.

Well of course go from 10 on up.

So number 10, escape the pinnacle out of song from Robert Holmes.

It has appeared in 36 films and TV appearances.

Right.

Okay.

How many times has it been used ironically, like every time, no, 34 times, yes, yes.

Or art for a comedy bit, right?

You know, they do it where it's, you know, yeah, I, I, I glanced at this a little while

ago and to let the audience look behind the curtain for a second, I've had this article

for a while.

I've been just, you know, waiting for an opportunity to use it and I thought about it

a bit.

I hadn't thought of that part.

How often it's been used, you know, just, it fits the mood and the scene and how much

it's just ironic, ironic comedy, yeah, I betcha, there's a lot more of that in this list

than not.

Yes.

And that's, but that makes sense because people, because it means something, right?

The song itself has a certain meaning to it, the silliness of it and all that, yeah.

At number, tied at number eight, I think you, definitely for these next two.

Let's get it on from the great Marvin Gaye, 38 film and TV appearances.

One thing for walking on sunshine from Katrina and the waves, 38 film and TV appearances.

Yes.

And both have probably used it as much as they've used, you know, hey, we're sitting up,

have they ever actually used, let's get it on for a love scene?

No.

I think it's only, I cannot believe that.

To give you a joke that it is or something.

Maybe the first time it was used to, like, yeah, we want to make a sexy scene here.

So we're going to use Marvin Gaye, right?

You know, and, but the joke is, is, you know, it's like, wait, get someone in the mood,

right?

Very white.

You play Marvin Gaye or something like that is like, come on.

And the walking on sunshine, what I would, I would gather that it's probably half and

half.

Cause I can think of some movies and TV shows that brought in, hey, we got a montage

scene and they're running around town.

Yep.

And they play that song.

Yeah.

It's just an upbeat song, you know, it's, and they're literally talking about being happy.

So it's, yeah, you see it a lot in where we're like happy scenes where people are like,

woo, you know, that kind of thing.

Something very similar to actually how the video was filmed like that you hear about

the video process of filming that video and it was that nobody was happy was pouring rain.

They're very upset.

They didn't even want to do it.

The irony was in the video, yeah, I think it's used ironically, yeah, it's just as much

probably probably about half and half, I would say, and tied at number six, a tub-humping,

tub-humping, tub-thumping, uh, from Chumbo-Wam-Wam-Wam-Wam-Wam-Wam-Wam-Wam, 39 film and TV appearances

all along with September from Earth Wind and Fire, 39 film and TV appearances.

Ooh, I love that song.

September is great too.

Never gets old to me.

No.

Uh, that is one where they, I think they've probably been used a lot in probably, you know,

in accurate places.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, oh yes, yes.

I didn't think I'd heard it that much.

I have, uh, I was listening to something and the person was talking about, you know, they,

they probably like the song, you know, the Massey Star song, but because it has been

used so much in films and he's like, nope, not anymore.

I've heard it too many times.

I've done with it.

I completely get that.

There are songs that have happened to me like that and I'm afraid of that one turning

into it because I know.

No, I've loved that song since high school.

Yeah.

Uh, now when I, I, part of the reason I pre-read this is because I thought I, for the first

time, I've got the number one, I know this for a fact.

This is my wheelhouse.

I'm positive.

I'm confident about this.

I would have bet anybody five bucks and I'd have lost because it comes in at number three.

Not even at number two.

Oh, wow.

At last from Edda James.

Yes.

49 film and TV appearances.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Uh, I'm immediately.

I'm like, okay, that's the number one.

That has been used the most in commercials, TV, movies and everything.

Yeah.

49 is still a lot.

I think that's low.

I would have, I'm actually surprised.

If you would add commercials, it would because it's been in a lot of ads too.

Uh, uh, that's what I think.

Surprisingly enough, for me on that song, it's still an awesome song.

Oh my God.

It's an amazing song.

The way she sings it.

Because that's a, that's a, that's a, like a standard and people, a lot of people recorded

at last over the years, but her version is still, oh, it's the top.

I love it.

I will never get tired of it at James or any of her music.

Uh, I apologize, everybody.

I skipped, uh, number four.

I didn't mean to do that.

Uh, uh, fix you from Coldplay 42 film and TV appearances.

I don't believe I know that one.

I'm sure I do.

You've probably heard it.

Yeah.

I'm sure I've heard it, but I don't know the same boat.

I don't know where it goes.

We'd, I'd have to hear it, but I'm sure it's be like, as soon as it starts playing, we'll

be like, oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Wasn't that one scene with the, uh, yes.

Uh, it's odd though that it's the only one on this list that, uh, I didn't know necessarily.

Right.

Number two, push it from salt and pepper.

Oh, good lord.

That's crazy to think of 50 film and TV appearances.

I, I can totally believe, I totally believe that.

Yeah.

Yeah, totally believe that.

And that one's, I, I probably leans more toward, uh, also to what we were saying before

about sarahically.

Yeah.

I can sometimes just fit the mood and stuff.

Yeah.

Um, and at number one, and I don't believe anybody out there would have had this.

Okay.

Not even him himself.

I don't tell Jordans, this is how we do it.

52 film and TV appearances.

Wow.

Really?

I never would have guessed it.

And I hear it.

I'm like, yep.

Yep.

Okay.

I get it.

It's become background music.

Yeah.

And maybe that's why.

Maybe we don't even, it goes by and we don't even register that it's played.

Yeah.

It's, this is, I mean, it's, it's a generic, I mean, and no, no aspersions on Mr.

Jordan.

No.

But it's a super generic dance tune.

There's not much to it.

Really?

There isn't.

I feel like there's something to the fact that those, uh, that, like the, the top five,

three of them are 90 songs or, are, are 90s hits and everything.

And I, I think that there's a lot more.

We are of the generally, I remember my, the, the first time this really happened.

And I, I, I really do remember this.

My dad getting so upset about watching a Nike commercial and they're playing revolution.

And he, he just couldn't have been more angry, couldn't have been, and my dad doesn't

do this.

He's not me.

He doesn't get out of the soapbox.

He's got a bad out of shape.

Yeah.

And he was literally physically angry about this.

Um, and he's, I was just all over, it's all over all this stuff and everything.

Um, and, and now to see where we are now, where it's almost more surprising when a commercial

doesn't have a hit song in it or, or a parody or something with different lyrics.

Yeah.

Right.

Yeah.

And that stuff really took a, a whole other life in our generation.

Oh, I think that is absolutely true.

So there's a tie there, I think.

I can't put to, I can't connect the dots completely, but it's that, I'm the wall and

you got the yarn connecting all these things.

That's what I'm doing.

A yarnboard.

Yes.

The classic yarn.

It's very boring.

It's very boring.

I can't even say bored.

Uh, and another interesting stat, since the 1950s, the decade whose music has been used

the most in movies and TV shows is the 80s.

So the 50s and the 80s are the two decades that are pulled from the most musically.

Interesting.

Very.

I don't think anybody would have had that.

I wouldn't have had the 50s, the 60s maybe, but not the 50s.

I wouldn't have had the 50s or the 80s, to be honest, I wouldn't, but it makes sense

when I hear it.

Yeah.

Right.

And the worst performing decade is the 2020s, which makes sense, since it's only about

half over.

Yeah.

It's followed by the 50s and for some reason the 2000s.

I can tell you why.

I can tell you why it's 2000s, I can tell you why, but nobody's going to like hearing

it.

Man, I don't get music in the two, early 2000s, early 2000s, yeah.

Like a lot, look, go back and look at the early 90s, the early 80s, the early 70s, whenever

a decade is first starting, it can be a tough go for entertainment, music, movies, TV shows.

There is this natural human instinct that, oh, we've started a new decade, things have

to be new and different.

Right.

It's like that with any new year, let alone a new decade starts.

And I think you've got a feeling out process that happens with that.

Now sometimes you get grunge, sometimes you get something that takes over the whole genre.

And sometimes you get, you know, mumble rap.

That's just my opinion.

Right.

There's plenty of people that tell you different stuff.

And we also have to keep in mind that, you know, decades are just our arbitrary demarcations

for this.

You know, we call 80s, well, there were a lot of different kinds of music in the 80s.

We know this.

Every decade has a whole bunch of different, you know, genres and different ways of

doing it.

So it's easy to do it that way, you know, just because it's a shorthand, I get it.

Yeah.

Nickel, black, nickel, back and black eyed piece were hit artists in the early, uh, it's

all good.

That's my argument.

That's, I, I, I, I rest my case, you're on it.

That's it.

I'm so bad.

I should not be doing that.

Stop me.

That's not fair.

Hey.

You also got, you really got the hives, you know?

Yeah.

A couple other good bands.

I know.

I'm just kidding.

There were some good ones.

I guarantee going through my, uh, my shuffle or whatever, there's some early 2000

songs.

I'm sure you got some.

I'm just trying to be sure.

Of course you are.

Uh, I got a fun one here, uh, that I wanted to touch on with you, Seth, a North Carolina

woman, uh, just a little connection there.

Okay.

I found a 1938 class ring in the parking lot of a Starbucks and was able to return to

the original owner's granddaughter.

Very nice.

Uh, Laurie.

38.

Wow.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Laurie Rihu, uh, said she found the Virginia Tech class of 1938 ring in the parking lot, uh,

near Wilmington.

Uh, quote, I just noticed a shiny object in the corner of the parking lot, uh, and thought,

oh, this is a beautiful ring.

And then she's held out, uh, onto the ring in the hopes of identifying its owner,

owner's family.

I'm a sentimental person and I appreciate the family heirlooms.

Uh, heirloom is not, that word has never looked like it sounds to me when always throws

me off in my dyslexia, like jumbles, those words all over the, uh, so it just didn't

feel right to get rid of it or to throw it away or just keep it herself.

And I tell anybody using magnifying glass and some online research, she was able to identify

the ring's original owner as Virginia Tech graduate, well as garrist, uh, Wallace

Garrist.

Okay.

And passed away several years ago.

Uh, she discovered Garrist had a son, uh, who, uh, past, uh, who died in 2024, his

obituary in Wilmington star included a photo that showed him wearing his father's ring

on his finger.

Oh, wow.

And she just couldn't believe it, she said.

It's amazing.

Uh, and then, uh, through the obituary, she was able to find his surviving daughter, Laura,

uh, who, uh, who, uh, who, uh, she was able to contact.

That's great.

Um, and then she kind of mountain said, I, I think, uh, he wore the ring because it made

him carry about, uh, carry a, carry his father with him.

Oh.

And she said, uh, receiving the ring was, uh, like getting a piece of her father back.

Oh, that's a, that's a great story.

Wow.

All of that from just looking down, like seeing something a little glint, a little shininess

on the, you know, and, and, and it's amazing and going the extra mile of, okay, I'm, I'm

gonna just gonna throw this in my junk drawer and, you know, maybe I'll run into the

person one day.

I, these stories are so cool to me, and I love them, and I like touching on them.

But I, I hope nobody's missing, you know, the, the, the meat of the story to me, uh,

a stranger doing something for another stranger.

Yeah.

This person knows that when she's trying to find the original owners of this ring, it's

not gonna be somebody she knows.

No.

So the normal incentive for us to do things for people is we know this person.

We have a tie to them.

They've done things for us or whatever.

Sure.

And a person doing something for a random person.

What?

It's been in their own time and effort, and it took time to do this, doing their best

Colombo to hunt down this person.

Exactly.

Yeah.

I don't feel like, I, I feel like we have normalized this stuff too much, man.

Like in this day and age in 2025, tell me that ain't a cool story.

Tell me that is an awesome, and that we couldn't use more of this, um, more of strangers

looking out for strangers, more of this.

We have no problem laughing together in a movie theater.

Why not do more of this?

Why?

And why not give each other some more grace in society?

What is the harm that comes from it?

Absolutely.

Side effects may include what you're a better person, or society is better for it.

I only hope that if I ever run into some situation like this, I, I actually back up my own

words and, and I do something like this, which I can guarantee you I will for the sheer

story.

And I can, because my brain can't, I can't leave things unfinished, I'm really, really

bad at that, man.

I can, I tell you how many bad movies I've finished just because I cannot turn them

off, man.

I've seen Ishtar that there's a leave it there.

The whole, the whole thing, man, it's not the whole thing.

I even stayed for the end of the cred, like watch the end of the credits hoping there'd

be like a tag ending that would be interesting.

There wasn't.

No, just leave it there.

Yeah, there wasn't.

There wasn't even great acting in it, man.

It did, I've never watched a movie where it felt like the actors were looking at their

like watch.

Okay, when, when, when we're done, when are we done with this, right?

We will take a quick time out.

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

It's time to wrap up the show, everybody.
