Staying Close to Home is In this Vacation Season

Good morning, Wisconsin.

Morning, world.

It's a new day.

Thanks for kicking it off with us at WFHR.

Your host, James J. Mailov here.

I am joined by our head of news, our co-host, Melissa K.

Good morning.

Head of production and co-host, Seth Habhacker.

And the best listeners in radio.

Thanks for being here, everybody.

We hope you're having a great stir to your week out there.

Happy Tuesday.

Let's kick things off the way we like to around here with our friend, Bernie Murlow,

talking a little mother nature.

Good morning, Brett.

Good morning.

How was your weekend?

Was it too crisp or was it just perfect?

Very, very nice.

It was very nice.

Otherwise, no complaints.

Not at all.

Not at all.

Every single one of those days.

How was yours, Bernie?

It was absolutely bright and beautiful.

Oh, my gosh.

It couldn't have been any better.

I mean, the sunshine felt great.

The cool breeze complimented that.

I mean, oh, gorgeous.

It's more convenient to be outside.

Now things are so pretty.

Yeah.

And now for the bad weather.

And now for something completely different.

Right.

I thought it was just my mood going back to work.

I was like, oh, you know, after a long weekend.

But no.

But don't cloud.

They're here.

We've got drizzle trying to sneak its way in this afternoon.

Maybe a spotty shower possible this evening as well.

And then we're still looking at rain chances lingering tomorrow, too.

So you know the clouds are sticking here as well.

Of course, going to keep us a little bit cooler.

Highs in the upper sixties, both today and tomorrow.

But then as the system leaves the area, it takes the clouds with it.

And then we warm things up.

So we're already looking at sunshine by Thursday into the weekend.

And temperatures hitting the mid-70s by Thursday and hitting 80 for Friday.

And into next week as well.

So summer weather is definitely around the corner.

But you know, I just like the seventies and the crisp cool temperatures this weekend.

I'm not sure I'm ready for the humidity next weekend.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I really, I really enjoy that fall almost like weather in spring that we can get sometimes.

Yeah.

Oh, you guys.

Come on, man.

Yeah.

You're the only one that loves the heat.

I have no problem with the heat.

No, no problem with it.

It's not at all.

I, you know, I will lean towards the heat.

But I'm with the whole like I fall as my kind of jam.

That's why I get it.

I get it.

I like this.

It's coming up.

I like layers.

Yeah.

That's the way to word it.

That's the way.

We appreciate you, Brittany.

Thanks so much for hanging out with us.

You have a good morning.

You too.

Best in the business right there.

Brittany Merlot joining us every morning all week long.

We got fun stuff coming up for you.

The El Caffe birthday anniversary club.

We'll be doing some celebrating all week long with them.

I'm going to be coming up in a little bit.

We're also going to get into it being National Sunscreen Day.

Very important.

Get some stats on that one.

Also a study that found adding bananas to your smoothie makes it less healthy.

That's confusing to me.

I heard about that.

Yeah.

We got to dive into that.

We got to dive into raft or baseball.

We'll be talking about that.

A little bit in our entertainment section.

We'll dive into some other fun stuff there as well.

And of course, in the nine o'clock, I'm 10 o'clock hour.

Got to not only entertainment news, but some other fun things.

I want to talk about the last pennies being minted.

Talking about that.

And 10 made up social societal rules that people think we should quit.

Okay.

Could be interesting.

All done.

Could be interesting.

Could also be dangerous.

Yes, it could.

We will find out together.

But this one right here is one of my favorite type of things to start a show with.

I like grabbing stuff that is indivisive and just fun and interesting,

but also something that maybe not every single person knows.

Okay.

And I got a good one here, I think.

I like this an interesting one.

Of course, it is almost pool season.

Almost getting into the water season.

Getting a lot more swimming in and everything.

Okay.

And here's something interesting that will amuse you for maybe a good three minutes or maybe less.

A new study has found that a person's fingers wrinkle in the same pattern every time they're in water too long.

Really?

Yes.

That's interesting.

The wrinkles are caused by blood vessels under the skin, contracting when immersed in water for a period of time.

That was already known, of course.

Sure.

But researchers at Birmingham, Burmington University looked into where they form,

and determined that it's virtually always the same.

Most because those blood vessels don't move much over time.

Okay.

Oh, that makes sense.

Okay.

Yeah, I'm with you.

They also discovered that the wrinkles don't form in people with median nerve damage in their fingers.

So I've got frostbite in my fingers.

Okay.

Yeah.

And I don't get a lot of that water.

No pruny.

No pruny hands.

No pruny hands.

I don't get a lot of pruny hands.

And I did this is now news.

Now you know.

Why?

I don't know about anybody else.

Please.

Please.

Text in.

Call in if you find this interesting at all.

Even a little bit.

Because I think it's interesting.

I came across this story.

You can find the complete article at Science Daily.

I read the whole thing.

I thought it was very interesting.

I like learning about human beings.

I think we are walking miracle every single one of us that we have normalized over the millennia.

Amazing it is, right?

I was just talking about this with my dad the other day.

We are joking about how we are done with American Italian mob movies.

Like we are done with them.

But English mob movies.

Oh, we can't get enough.

On board.

Anything guy reaches direct.

We are all lit.

We are all lit.

And through that conversation got us talking about the miracle of life.

And just beings.

Human beings.

And how amazing we are.

Interesting transition.

Yeah.

That is such a thing.

I would like to see the progression of that conversation.

You know, with an Italian household.

Life and death.

Right next to each other.

Right next to each other.

So why does this matter at all?

It is certainly another part of this.

Do you guys find this interesting at all?

Honestly.

Honestly I do.

I could have told you this when I was in my single digits because I spent every moment I possibly could in water.

And a lot of time, there is just examining the wrinkles on my pruny fingers.

They always look the same.

Wow.

That is cool.

Wow.

I never even thought about it.

Not even for a second.

That it was the same pattern.

I just knew that my hands were pretty.

I spend a lot of time in water.

Well that would do it.

Yeah.

My mom had the hardest time getting me out of the lake when we would finally go.

No, we are leaving.

We are in the car.

Melissa.

We are leaving.

Wow.

I love that about you Melissa.

That is great.

I like that.

I did not like that.

Little peek-a-door childhood.

I love it.

You did without prying are you still a little like that of all Melissa?

Like a unicorn?

I yearn for water.

Oh, okay.

When I drive past water, I just, I want to go either be in it or on it or sit by it or just look at it.

It is, I don't know.

A little known fact.

Melissa, part mermaid.

Part mermaid.

I thought she likes water so much.

That is why I decorate my house with mermaids.

Now that part I knew.

That part I did know.

The gills are a dead giveaway.

Oh come on.

I thought I hid them well.

It was, it was, it was, it's part of the reason she's not in studio.

She can't be.

She's in water.

She's literally water.

What?

I can't leave my bathtub.

It's a survival thing.

What you didn't know is my office is full of water.

Amazing that I'm on the second floor.

Yeah, it is.

I feel so much of that.

And what you're talking about with the water thing, I think that I get usually, I usually,

not just me, but other people in my life, associated that with being a Pisces.

But I think it's more so just where I, I moved around so much.

There were two things I could count on.

I'd see the moon every night.

It would follow me wherever I was.

Right.

And we're always near a body of water.

We always, we always eat Michigan nearby or something like that or whatever.

And I don't, there's something comforting to me about that.

I don't know if, I feel the same thing about being in it.

I like to be in the water.

I don't mind being in the water.

I don't know that just being near it is enough for me in some way.

Speaking of conversation progressions, let me do that right now.

Yes, that's a good idea.

So I talked about this with my parents, you know, a couple of times about what physical characteristic

do you need to live near to feel comfortable?

Good question.

Right.

My parents figured out that they need like you, James, and maybe Melissa, they need to be near water.

So either by the ocean like they are now or they're by a lake or, you know, a river,

just some kind of body of water they need to be close to.

Or many like where I grew up, we had lots of little lakes around where I was.

The other thing I really need to is green.

Trees for me.

And that's probably because I grew up in the woods.

I need a lot of trees around.

If I don't, I feel kind of exposed.

You know, if I have trees, it kind of grounds me, so to speak.

Right.

You know, with having trees around there.

But so that's why, you know, in the Midwest was, you know, we have lots of trees around here.

I think I don't see myself, you know, moving into like a huge city or anything like that.

That would definitely miss the trees, yeah.

Or the desert, yeah.

Oh, I don't know if I could do the desert.

You know, it's got a very, I didn't think I would like it.

It was, I was surprised at how much I did enjoy.

There's so much beauty in the desert.

You don't expect to see.

That's true.

Where we live here.

Maybe I can pretend the cactus is such trees.

The cacti trees.

Some of them do look like trees.

But I don't know if I could live there long term myself.

I was just because, yeah.

I have never been, I've never really been in the desert.

But driving around back and forth in Texas,

and almost from one side of the state to the other,

you see so much just blank land, open land, flat.

Yeah.

For me, I don't know.

I enjoyed it.

I didn't mind it so much.

I don't know.

I didn't live with it.

I was there for two months.

I don't know if, you know, if I was there every day, how I'd feel about it.

But for that, it was okay.

It was all right.

It didn't mind it as much.

So does this, what does this matter and everything?

Probably not for any health reasons as far as the, you know,

your fingers wrinkling the same way every time.

But the researchers think it could have real world applications

in fingerprinting and forensics like at crime scenes.

Oh.

So that is interesting.

Huh.

But the...

Don't go to a crime scene and waterlogged.

Yes.

They'll find you.

Or do it.

Or are you...

Well, that mess with your fingerprints.

That mess with your fingerprints.

You got a rash of bandits who are just soaking wet.

And I said bandits.

I used to water all over this big floor.

Gentlemen, I'm sorry to say that our culprit is the creature

from the Black Lagoon.

Yes.

Yeah.

It is aquaman.

Aquaman is aquaman.

Aquaman is aquaman.

So it's darn seals.

You know, we just can't keep them in the zoo.

When's the last time somebody's called a criminal bandits?

Who?

Who am I?

Who's bandits?

That was bandits.

The varmants.

We were there.

We watched too many westerns.

Yes.

Yes.

Very much.

Very much.

So this is a morning show.

Of course, we like to start off your morning with some fun.

And I thought that one was kind of interesting.

But what about this?

Now, granted, I don't know how each of you woke up this morning

and everything.

But I promise, I at least I feel pretty confident

that none of you woke up like this Norwegian man,

who was roused by a neighbor in early morning and altered

alerted to an unusual situation a cargo ship was in his front yard.

Whoa.

Oh my goodness.

Yo Han.

That's all the pictures of this.

It's absolutely crazy.

I mean, if we were in a visual medium,

all I would do is show the picture.

Right.

That's all I'd need to do.

That's it.

Yeah.

That's a here.

You're so right, Melissa.

That's what brought me in.

I saw the picture.

I'm like, I got to finish this article.

Yo Han Helberg said he was asleep inside his home in Bayonet

in the Tratham Forchar, Forhar area.

When his neighbor, Justin Jorgensen,

rang this doorbell and called his phone that alerted him

to the fact that a cargo ship had run a rung

to his backyard.

Quote, if the ship had hit the rocky outcrop right next to it,

it would have lifted up and hit the house.

Oh, no.

So that part is really scary.

Well, that's scary.

Yeah.

Jorgensen said he woke up just a few minutes earlier to the sound

of the boat approaching.

He ran outside to attempt to sound the alarm.

Thankfully, nobody was hurt.

At the present time, they don't know what caused the incident

and are awaiting the conclusion of the ongoing investigation.

Of course.

Well, I'm going to follow up on that story.

I'll let you guys know what I see or find out.

But we have heard more and more about cargo ships

in since the pandemic and everything you have.

I have.

On one side of this, I hope that people are starting to get

some appreciation for the work and all that.

The grind that that is and the work that is involved

and that similar to our semi-drivers on land.

Right.

And some of that.

At the same time, man, like I feel like you've got to

do something like, so this is my father in me.

And this is more proof that I'm turning into a poor man's

version of my father every day.

Something like that happens to me.

And I'm immediately thinking, can I make a buck off this?

Not to sue them.

I don't mean like suing them or anything.

I'm not like charging in missions.

Come see the cargo ship.

No, everybody.

50 cents, kids.

You can see the cargo ship.

You can see the cargo ship in my backyard.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

Yeah.

Or first on.

That is everybody okay.

It's not me.

It is.

It was everybody okay.

No, it's kind of like, you want the opportunity to touch

a house and a cargo ship at the same time.

Bring four friends and we can make a chain.

Or you can almost do it.

All you would need.

Yeah.

Like if four people joined hands from this house to the

cargo ship, they'd be touching it.

That's how close it is.

Yeah.

It really is incredible.

And now that I hadn't watched video of it, Melissa,

I was just watching a little of the video trying to show

Seth here.

It's even more close to tonight.

You're right.

It is extremely close.

Holy.

Yes.

You know in the movies.

It's ridiculous.

Yeah.

Where they're going to go off the cliff.

They're going to go off the cliff.

And they just get in.

They stop right at the very last second.

Yeah.

There's that little bit.

Yeah.

No, it's doing or whatever.

Like that's what it feels like.

Yeah.

It's happening in real life right now.

So I mean, but now think of this, man.

He's got, he's got like, breaking rights.

You know, it's like.

Jerry's gnomes in the back.

He's backyard pale in comparison.

As a proud Norwegian.

There's no way that this is not.

This isn't being enshrined in family lore.

Oh, it is.

It is.

Well, everything that I noticed in the pictures and granted,

I didn't really dig into it that far.

But where's the crew?

Yeah.

There's like nobody on that cargo ship.

Yeah.

Yeah.

They're all hiding.

They're so embarrassed.

Oh, quick, quick.

Get out of here.

Everybody fall asleep at the helm.

Well, we're just in a fjord.

We're fine.

We're just going to go on and nope.

We're in Lars' backyard.

Yeah.

There is some poor guy with a mop who just all the sun got and made captain.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Like, hey, you're captain out.

You're captain out.

Like, wow, what a promotion.

This is pretty cool.

What did you do?

Why are we stopped?

We will take.

We will take a quick time out.

Lutefest.

They're in Norway.

Come back.

I just want to celebrate another day of living.

I just want to celebrate another day of living.

I just want to celebrate another day of living.

You heard the boys.

It's time to do some celebrate with our great friends over at L Cafe in the birthday anniversary

club.

We encourage you to treat yourself head on over to L Cafe, 221 Market Avenue and beautiful

port.

Edwards.

Normally, when we kick off the week, we got to tell you to wait a little bit.

But I believe that they are open today.

They're open today.

Yes.

Get on over there.

Check out some of the amazing menu that they have over there.

Every week, they're putting together new specials, fun creations for you out there to make

things more interesting and fun with their menu.

There are some traditional stuff there that you've got to try, especially if you haven't

had their version of it, exactly.

And at the same time, if you just want to cup a coffee, some nice atmosphere, some pie

maybe, good piece of pie, you cannot go wrong with any of the above.

And I'm over to L Cafe today.

Wish them a good morning from all of us, everybody.

Let them know much.

We appreciate them.

And the hardest decision you'll have to make is what kind of pie you want because they

have so many, so many pies between the three of us.

It's the whole reason I haven't gone there in a while.

I cannot decide.

And so I just want to embarrass myself and as one of these wonderful workers are walking

away with my order and like, oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, no, no, no, change my mind again.

Just get three pieces of pie, James.

That's fine.

That's what I'll have to do.

Nobody will judge you.

That's what I'll have to do.

Yep.

And we encourage you to get us those birthdays and adversaries, everybody.

We love celebrating with you.

Go ahead and email us info at wfhr.com.

You can direct messages on our Facebook pages and you can call on up.

That's right.

715-424-2600.

Just a touch or two away in the civic media app.

We appreciate everybody who's downloaded that app and plays along and has some fun with

these and keep in mind, you can call up anytime during the show or text in anytime during

the show.

We'll include that birthday in there.

Yes, we will.

Let's see.

Tomorrow, we've got, uh, okay, yeah.

So Seth, I need a one or a two.

Uh, one.

All right.

Guess that's the qualifier.

When you're right into it.

So first up, one of which happy birthday to Jessica Crowns.

Happy birthday, Jessica.

Happy birthday.

Where's Jessica back in the day over at GNC and stuff.

She's awesome.

She's wonderful.

Great mom.

Nice wife.

All the above.

Really put up with a lot from me because I am not good at sales.

I was not good at that job.

I was not good at that job.

She was great to be there.

She treated me good.

Very nice.

She's going to be good to hard worker too.

We appreciate just that birthday and a happy birthday to our qualifier Ron Anderson.

Happy birthday, Ron.

Happy birthday, Ron.

Enjoy the day, sir.

Hope it's a good one for you.

And again, thank you to everybody that got us these birthdays and anniversaries.

Appreciate you sitting in over the weekend or at any time, especially on a holiday weekend

and you still got them to us.

Thanks, everybody.

You know, Ron is one of those names that is perfect for the Midwest because then you

can say, Ron.

Here, Ron.

Ron.

You know, say it the right way.

Here, Ron.

How is it going, Ron?

Here, Ron.

Yeah.

And also, Ronnie is just a fun nickname.

That's true.

I'm with you there.

Ron's a great name.

Great name.

We take a look at who you're sharing your birthday with.

Oh, you guys.

Lily Rose Depp is 26.

Johnny Depp's daughter.

Her acting credits include two of the, you know, breaks were in a couple of Kevin Smith

movies.

Yoga hosers and Tusk.

But she was recently in Nosferatu.

The lead in Nosferatu, right.

And I was rambling about this though and I saw the movie and everything.

I just could not get over her performance.

Wow.

I just was, I had not seen her act before.

And I did not know, honestly, I did, I saw her name, didn't know who she was playing in

the movie.

So I wasn't even sure necessarily of her look.

And I, I have seen very few performances like I saw of hers of just a ferocious quietness

that she was able to, you know, I talk about stealing scenes all the time.

One of the things I don't talk enough about is when you can, you know, an actor can bring

everybody up with them.

So she's in this movie with William DeFoe and an incredible cast, incredible cast, Bill

Scarsgard, all these people.

It's not so much that she steals scenes.

It's you cannot take your eyes off her.

She dominates scenes.

Yes.

Yes.

And it's not, she's very pretty, but it has nothing to do with that.

It's, it's just her eyes and the way she pulls you in and creates empathy with a character

that I don't know on paper how you do it.

If I'm an actor going to that role, I don't know how she does some of the stuff she does,

but man, does she cool.

And I don't know if it's, that movie is definitely not for everybody.

But if you can watch it, it's worth it for her performance.

Let alone some Bill Scarsgard and some of the other great show.

Cool.

She's got a heck of a career ahead of her.

And I see, I see her father and her in the sense of her because John DeFoe's never

going to get the acting credit he deserves.

He is one of the greatest actors we've had.

Period.

He clearly, he truly is.

Now, he's never going to get that credit and I don't know they need to, he should.

Maybe he, or he cares, I mean, or anything like that.

But he has had a career that he go back and watch and the indie career that Keanu Reeves

wanted, that so many other actors wanted that he was actually able to pull off.

We think of Johnny DeFoe now as a, as a household name.

He was not that until pirates.

But 20 some years into his career, look at the, look at the first 20 years of his career

and tell me that is not an Edward Scissor hands and all those names.

Oh, yeah.

Not incredible.

Incredible, Andrews.

She has got all of that in her at a younger age, at a younger age, I would say.

Well, and also, I think as far as cheekbones go, she doesn't matter.

Perfect cheekbones.

Perfect cheekbones.

Perfect cheekbones.

But they're Johnny's cheekbones.

Yeah.

Yeah.

She just does it better.

Yeah, I agree.

I agree.

Every 3,000 is 50, one half of Outcast.

And a Grammy winner for the, for the flute, the flute, I believe.

Yeah.

Man, amazing artist, a great artist.

All around.

He does all kinds of stuff.

So I mean, I love Outcast.

Yeah.

I love so much of Outcast.

Jack McBrire is 52, one of my favorite character actors of the recent era, Kenneth the

Page on 30 Rock, plays the same character in everything, really got his break through

the Conan Show and being an aid on the Conan Show, and then also being able to be a,

a page, basically, I said I didn't like, and helping out there.

And in Tina Fey and Conan O'Brien and the number of people just really thought he was

funny and thought, hey, if you ever thought about acting doing this and he kind of did

like every page I've ever has and stuff, and he got his break on 30 Rock and he's been

fantastic.

He was one of the best parts of that show.

Very cool.

Well, Bettany is 54, vision on the Avengers and all that solo movie, he was a very degenerate

for Connolly.

Yes, he's in a couple of movies, I think his earlier stuff before the Marvel stuff is so

much so good.

Yeah, he's very good.

Really good.

Joseph Fine's pretty good.

55 for him.

Commander Waterford in Hulu's The Handmaidens Tale was also an American horror story, Williams

Shakespeare and Shakespeare in Love, and of course, yes, Ralph Fine's is his brother.

Yes.

It really hasn't gotten to the point of Shakespeare in Love, though.

No.

I might know you're a good movie.

Let's see here.

Perry Gilpin is 64, Ross on Frazier.

She was so good on that show.

The poor put upon Ross.

Oh, yes.

Loved her.

She was Korean on that show.

Neil Finn is 67, lead singer of Crowded House.

Oh, yes.

But so much, so much more than that.

Him and his brother Tim have many different collaborations, split ends early in their career.

He had some good Australian group and then, of course, Crowded House with their hits.

But they have been collaborating for a long time.

They're very good songwriters.

Oh, my goodness.

And some people no longer with us, like Lewis, Gassett, Jr.

Bordenstein, 1936, Fiddler in Roots.

He was also an officer in the gentleman and Air Hawk, Iron Eagle movies.

Iron Eagle.

Every one of them, like there were four of them, and I think he was in all of them.

Those moments.

Great actor.

Love him.

Really, really good actor.

It worked way up, right up until the end, too.

Lewis, Gassett, Jr.

was working right up until about a year ago or whatever when he passed away.

Very cool.

Really good actor.

Really good one.

Lisa, left eye Lopez from TLC, would have been 53 today, passed away way too young.

I liked her a lot.

I really liked her.

She's my favorite part of TLC, she was awesome.

And these two, I want to put together because they share a birthday and I know we do this

every year and I don't care.

It's awesome.

And I think it's so fitting.

The great Christopher Lee, born in this day in 1922, Sauron and Lord of the Rings and

the Hobbit movies, Count Dooku and Star Wars prequels, of course, back in the 50s and

70s, Seth, the face of horror in many ways.

Yeah, he was in hundreds of films in his career.

He did, I mean, but most of the more low budget, you know, that kind of thing.

He was such a stately guy.

You know, you've heard his voice, you know, that, that, that, that, that gorgeous deep voice.

But he had, he always thought he should have done better because of, he's a good, very

good actor, but he was in like the low budget horror and all these things until finally,

you know, you had Lord of the Rings, he was a big horde Lord of the Rings fan and Peter

Jackson did that and then he did, of course, Star Wars and all that stuff.

Late in his career, he finally got the recognition, I think he, he deserved because he was a fantastic

actor.

That's one of my favorite things when it happens for an actor.

Yes.

When they get that break late in life or whatever.

And sharing his birthday with the actual voice of horror, Vincent Price, one of 1911

Pestway in 93, the undisputed master of horror, the greatest voice in horror film history

and in narration history, Vincent Price could say hello and immediately make your skin do

something.

Speaking of Edward Scissorhands, Melissa, that's one of his last things was the narrator

of that.

So yeah.

Also, one of his earliest works was an animated short, sorry, one of Tim Burton's first film

he did was called Vincent and he, he had no name, no nothing, no budget or anything like

that, sent the script of Vincent Price, Vincent Price loved it and narrated it for him.

I'd be basically for free, you know, and there is a, there, but you could make the argument

that Vincent Price like launched the career of Tim Burton.

Yes.

And he ended up working with him several times.

Yeah.

Also, it really should be noted, one of the sweetest human beings to walk the planet.

Vincent Price was very loved and adored, not because he was talented because people love

to work with him.

Yes.

Especially younger actors who he would go out of his way to help out and everything like

that.

Just an incredible, so everything about him on stage and that you like are off stage the

same thing.

He was also, people forget he was also a Gormande, he was also a, it's art.

I mean, he was an art expert.

He was amazing.

His whole, all these things he did, he was an amazing guy.

Yeah.

Okay, but I want to see Dr. Goldfoot and the bikini machine.

Yes, you do want to see that because he also knew how to make fun of himself.

Yeah.

And he did a good job.

He's got a Simpson's episode that he did, he gets spotted in bed, that's just so good.

It's so good.

Love Vincent Price.

Yeah.

He was something.

Everybody's celebrating a birthday anniversary out there.

We wish you a great one, can't think of a better way to celebrate them with our friends

at El Café, get on over there today.

Everybody, 221 Market Avenue, beautiful, poor dead words.

Wish you a great day from all of us at WFHR.

Welcome back, everybody.

Morning show here at WFHR, Melissa, Seth, and James, hanging out with you.

Thanks so much for joining us.

It is National Sunscreen Day.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Where's the sun?

Yeah.

Not celebrating.

Hey, sun.

Come on.

The sun is.

Yeah.

What would you like?

That's what the sun sounds like, huh?

The sun is here.

Oh, I didn't see that coming.

What's your screen, John?

You know, I would actually think that the sun would have a higher pitched voice considering

all the helium.

I love it.

No.

Remember it's created.

Hydrogen is turned into helium.

Oh, but you do have helium.

New recurring character.

New recurring character.

And the sun is here.

Yeah.

That's a British accent.

That's a British accent.

That's fantastic.

Sounds like the queen.

So here are some sunscreen-related stories making the rounds online, a poll online asked

if a stranger at the beach asked if you can put some sunscreen on their back.

Would you do it?

Ooh.

Interesting question.

Wow.

That is interesting.

Yeah.

36% said sure.

64% said they declined.

In the comments, someone scolded the no-responder saying skin health is serious.

Others said they would if the person was really kind about it, really like, you know,

maybe sold them on it as such.

Right.

Saying like, well, I'm sorry to trouble you, but there's no one else around here.

And I really need to put some sunscreen on my back.

Would you mind doing that?

See now then.

I can see it, you know?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

I'm here by myself.

I'm all alone.

Yeah.

I got nobody.

Could you please just kindly put some of this goop on my back so I don't burn and die.

Skin cancer?

Like, really?

The pole didn't ask people if they would ask a stranger to leather them up on the beach,

or how they'd feel if they got rejected because the stranger didn't, you know, didn't do it,

maybe, you know, because of appearance or something like that.

Oh, geez.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I'll be honest.

I don't know how I'd handle that situation.

I don't know.

I've never been in that situation.

I would never personally, and I'd never ask anyone to do it because I would just feel

way too awkward.

Yeah.

No way.

No way.

I'm trying to get my back.

I'm like, I would feel awful.

I would just be awkwardly trying to get it on my back and somebody would walk up and say,

are you okay?

Like, yeah.

I'm fine.

Just contortion and practice.

Yeah.

You know, like, can I get that one spot for you in the back?

I'm about to show how much I know about this.

I would be setting it up, like, on a chair and trying to, like, get my back, like, the

spots.

Like, like, you have an itch.

You're trying to get her something?

Yeah.

Yeah.

You're hoping sunscreen on that tree, James, so tree does not need sunscreen.

I feel like even somebody I know, I would feel uncomfortable asking, yeah, boomers and

Gen Xers may be paying for the UV tanning beds in suntan lotions of the 80s and 90s, but

Gen Zers are lax about skin care too, in a survey half of Gen Z adults reported being

sunburned last year and 10% suffered burns bad enough to cause blisters.

Yeah.

So you really don't think about it until you get well into your 20s, maybe even into

your 30s.

For some of us, it's our 40s.

Then we're like, I can't go outside without putting this stuff on.

Yeah.

I'm just not going to go outside.

Otherwise, it's lobster city, 25% of Gen Zers say it's worth looking great now, even

if it means looking worse and suffering the consequences later.

And more than that, admit to prioritizing getting a tan over protecting their skin.

Oh.

Uh, the follies of our youth.

Yeah.

It's first thought I had, but it's also something that I, um, I don't, I don't agree

with or certainly, and I don't, but it's hard.

I'm sure I did things that were not like this, but I'm sure I hit some things.

And I'll, I'll say that, um, you know, this is also one of those things that, uh, it's,

it's so easy to judge and I wish that I wish it was different.

I do.

I don't, I don't agree with it.

I think it's silly.

All those things.

I also don't want to be old man yelling at clock.

How about old, old man yelling at someone who's way too tan.

Hey, catchers, Mitt, come on over here, you know, Hey Hamilton.

He was a Richard Hamilton.

Was it Richard?

Oh, uh, oh, yeah.

No, uh, it was George Hamilton, George Hamilton, he was the tanning guy.

Yeah, Hamilton.

I think it's a race.

Sunscreen is the number one weapon in the battle against skin cancers, but anything

can be bad and extreme.

A 48 year old woman in China had, uh, severe vitamin D deficiency from excessive sunscreen

use.

Really?

Okay.

And, and broke a bone just by cause casually rolling over in bed.

Oh, it wasn't just, it wasn't just sunscreen.

She also avoided going out in the sun as much as possible, possibly due to an obsession

with having fair skin.

Uh, oh, that's the, uh, the flip side of it.

Yeah.

17 hundreds.

Yeah.

Right.

Yeah.

That's a wild.

That is wild.

Wow.

In a poll, only 40% of people say that they regularly wear sunscreen outside during the

summer.

And just 16% say that they always put it on.

32% say that they slap it on some of the time and 25% claim they never put it on.

Well, um, if you don't want to wear sunscreen, then you can go with my philosophy and cover

every part of your body you can at all times, uh, to make sure that, uh, not only do

it.

No sun.

No sun.

Just likes to be human.

Yeah.

That way I don't say no one has to see anything.

It's all good.

It's just covered all up.

I have heard the song, everybody's free to wear sunscreen more than I put it on.

That's not good.

That's no, cause it's not like you listen to it that much.

No, no, no, no.

But I, I'm really trying to catch up late on this one to Melissa's point about the 40

some year old.

Yeah.

Right.

Right.

Right.

15 year old self as soon as it hit 50 degrees outside, I was on the front porch in my bathing

suit.

And, uh, you know, uh, fair skin.

I'm sure that, uh, it's rough, got red really quick.

Totally about it.

Oh, yeah.

You know, I get one really good burn and then I figured it would just, you know, I tan

the rest of the summer.

Sometimes that worked.

I was going to ask, yeah, cause I hear that from a lot of people and I've never asked

the, the following question though, for what?

That might be a wives tale too.

I don't know.

Yeah.

I don't know.

Melissa, I heard the same thing.

Yeah.

You get that one burn.

Now you're fine.

Rest of the summer.

You know, be tan and everything.

I don't think it works out.

I don't think it does either.

I think it does offer you a little bit of protection, maybe.

And this is just me, like, guessing.

I really don't know.

Um, but it just seemed that way for me personally.

Yeah.

Anodotically.

Is that how you say that?

Anodotically.

Yeah.

Anodotally.

Anodotally.

Anodotally.

Anodotally.

Yeah.

I like that.

Hmm.

Right.

I don't know.

I do think they're like, they're pretty universally liked thing.

I'm going to use them as sunscreen.

I do.

That's just a try with us.

Not only good for that, but great for a comedic joke.

Always.

A cultial, great for comedic jokes.

One of the oldest jokes in the world.

A study in the journal Food In Function found adding a banana can decrease your smoothies

nutritional value, though.

Because it prevents your body from absorbing a type of antioxidant called Flavenos.

Hmm.

filled.

Flavenoles.

Flavenoles?

Flavin' something like that.

There's a specific enzyme in bananas called PPO or short for polyethyroloxides.

Nice.

It's the enzyme in fruits that causes them to turn brown and it breaks down the flavorable

flavanoles so fast they don't hit the bloodstream.

Oh, really?

Interesting.

Interesting.

And the difference was drastic.

They found adding a banana to your smoothie reduces the amount of flavanoles you absorb

by 84% so you're only getting 16% of what you're drinking that smoothie for.

Right.

Exactly.

The stuff that you want, right?

Yeah.

If you're adding bananas too.

Yeah.

If you're adding bananas.

The effects were most drastic when adding one to a smoothie that with lots of berries in

it.

So if it's loaded with raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries, leave the banana out.

All right.

That doesn't mean you should stop eating bananas altogether.

They say it's just better to have one as a snack on its own later.

These are a little bit better, so low.

Right.

Because they do have potassium and a lot of other minerals that you do need.

So yeah.

So okay.

Just keep them out of your smoothies.

It's up to me now on my smoothie.

What do you do with stories that you feel like everybody should know, but they're not

necessarily breaking news and going back to the argument, or at least one of my hills

I'll die on as far as there should be somebody in charge of breaking news.

Like for everything, for everything, newspapers, TV shows, everything, and you've got to clear

it with them before it's actually breaking news.

No more of this, like it's set an idea with this in the sports world a lot more, so ESPN

loves to give you these updates.

Breaking news.

A player fell down.

Yeah.

He's okay.

He's fine.

Patrick Mahons doesn't ingrown toenails.

Yes.

Yeah.

Come on.

That's not breaking news.

No.

And it's dumb down and lower and brought down the term of breaking news.

It is.

That's the point now where when there is actual breaking news, how many, there's a percentage

of people that don't even hear it.

Turn it off.

Right.

Right.

Because there's so many of them, just tune it out.

So I feel like this is kind of big news.

I feel like everybody should know this and spread the word of this because our whole lives,

whenever any TV show, movie, anything like that, or any, like especially me growing up around

a lot of work out, a lot of people that didn't have you work out routines and started

every morning with one of these smoothies.

I almost guarantee everyone of them had a banana in it.

Yeah, probably.

Well, because bananas are easy to throw in for sweetener.

And then you think you're adding a healthy sweetener, but if it's actually like contradicting

the other foods in there.

Right.

So the interesting thing for me, because we could go down a total rabbit hole with this if

you want to, James.

Food combining.

No.

Okay.

Did it.

Knipped that in the bud.

Okay.

You said no.

No.

Please continue.

Please continue.

No.

So when my mom was going through her cancer treatments, she tried the natural route first.

And so we did a lot of research and talking and she went to even a retreat of natural

foods and how you can cure your body with natural foods.

I think it does have some use, obviously, didn't cure her cancer because she's dead.

But the combining of foods is very of a fascinating science that we don't talk about a lot

because here in Western medicine, we want to cure things with pills, not with the nutrients

that we put in our bodies.

Right.

So preventative health is really on the back burner, right?

It is versus reactive health.

Right.

And so she had this food chart where there were certain foods that you could eat and how

long they would stay in your stomach and then the foods that you want to combine with

other foods to get the most nutrients out of them, it's mind-blowing if you really dig

into it.

It was a topic that deserves our attention and our feelings.

At the same time, God, I love when you could do that.

You two are really good at this.

Your serious, heavy topic.

That was a funny joke, Melissa made in the middle of that.

It was very funny.

None of us felt comfortable laughing, but it was darn funny.

It is not fair to her that we'll get out of it.

It's not dark.

It's still not.

It's our humor.

That's our will.

Kind of.

What we do.

Pride the line.

It does speak to the point of, you know, it's not all or nothing, people, you know, like

one way, a combination of multiple things is also okay.

Yeah, you're fine.

You're fine.

Chill, everyone.

If all else fails, do the opposite of what I do.

You know, I mean, you should be fine.

You should be perfectly fine.

Usually the long, healthy life.

We will take a time out.

We'll come back and ask some more fun.

We're going to talk about the perfect vacation and how many days it should last.

We'll get into the timing of that.

Coming up on Morning Show at WFHR.

Welcome back, everybody.

Morning show here at WFHR, locally grown radio, Melissa, Seth and James hanging out with you.

Hope you all are having a good one out there.

The holiday weekend is behind us, well, the beginning of that one, the first one, really
