To Binge or Not to Binge (Hour 2)

Mornings with WFHR · Wed Jun 4, 2025

Good morning, Wisconsin.

Morning, world.

It's a new day.

Thanks for kicking it off with us here at 975PFMWFHR.

Your host, James here, joined by Melissa.

Good morning.

Seth.

Good morning, and you guys, the best listeners and radio.

Thanks for being here, everybody.

Hope you're having a good one out there.

We got a lot of fun things to get into this hour, and a little bit.

We got, uh, it is confirmed Americans are the world's most prolific swears.

I got that one coming up.

Hard to believe.

And, uh, what's a weird rule you made up, and you continue to follow.

We got those coming up for you.

We kick off this hour with some entertainment news, and oddly enough, Melissa just referenced

this yesterday.

We were talking about time travel a little bit, and, uh, you mentioned everything you learned

from time travel from the back to the future movies.

Right.

Yup.

That's funny.

That's just the weirdest of life.

The guitar that Michael J. Fox shreds on the enchantment under the sea dance, and back

to the future.

The original, the first one.

Johnny Be Good.

It's a cherry red Gibson ES345 in mint condition.

It is beautiful.

Uh, Michael J. Fox, one of the more handsome actors in the 80s and everything.

He is secondary to that guitar.

Uh, God, that beautiful guitar.

Well, it's been missing since 85.

What?

Uh, Gibson wants to find it.

Oh.

They even made a, have you seen this guitar poster with all the details?

Oh, that's incredible.

And the stars of the movie, including Mr. Fox, made a video, uh, plating for its return.

The guitar, the guitar was rented from Norman, uh, Norman's rare guitars in Los Angeles,

and returned after they were done with it, and nobody knows where it went after that.

Uh, it's unlikely that somebody just bought it from Norman's and there's no record of the

sale.

Uh, and, and the guitar was likely a 1960 or 61 model making it historically inaccurate,

since the part of the movie is, uh, featured in takes place in 1955.

Right.

Yeah.

That's a mechanism.

I imagine that did not ruin the movie for anybody.

And you'd have to be a, like, a really big guitarist.

A sub-on.

Yeah, that's it.

Wait a minute, man.

That's a 61.

How dare they?

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Back to the Feature.

Yeah, it does.

Oh, that's incredible.

How's above that?

That movie still holds up.

Right.

Parts of it.

Parts of it.

Uh, it still holds up.

I, I, when I say, I want to say that, I guess that's what I mean for its time it does.

And, and when I say that, my brain immediately is thinking of special effects and, uh, sound

and editing and so many of the things that have advanced, like, 10, 20 years, light years ahead of us,

um, that nowadays where we can do these, like, uh, parts of the Mission Impossible movie

are filmed on an iPhone.

Right.

You know, some of that stuff.

So how can you, when you watch these movies or you ask younger people to watch these movies,

how are they going to take it in and some of that?

And I, I think these, like, though, that original especially holds up on its own.

Uh, so keep an eye out for that guitar, everybody.

I, I, what do you, I don't know what, when I think happened with it, um, it is, is, oh, I, it was, uh, it was, uh,

you know, I don't want to cast aspersions, but it feels like someone in the crew was like,

oh, well, I was going to miss it, right?

They returned, they rented it and returned it to the, to the, oh, they did.

Yeah, yeah, they returned it.

So it's there.

But somebody must have bought it.

Yeah, I mentioned in the article that because I was rented by Norman's rare guitars and

some return there.

So I think that from there, Norman, uh, saw something here.

Yeah, or, yeah, or somebody bought it and, and they didn't track the sale or they didn't track.

Maybe they didn't even know where it was from.

Yeah.

After it was sold to somebody or it was handed down in a family.

Who knows?

Yeah, who knows?

It's out there, hopefully, somewhere.

Yeah.

That's the thing.

I really do hope it's out there somewhere.

And if I had that thing, now, if you had it, would you return it?

Because I would.

Like, I, I think I would.

I think I would.

Well, if you had it in your possession and they wanted it back, I would sell it to them.

Especially if you'd obtained it legally, right?

Right.

Right.

Or had been handed down.

Yeah, yeah.

Sure.

And I'm sure they wouldn't mind doing that.

So Netflix held its and old tandem event over the last weekend, announcing premiere dates

and release trailers for their several other upcoming movies and shows.

The fifth and final season of Stranger Things really was the headline that a roll out in

three parts on November 26th, Christmas Day, and then New Year's Eve.

And it looks like they're going to wrap it up pretty darn good.

Or that may just be my Winona Ryder bias, which is perfectly fine, nothing wrong with

that.

Nothing wrong with that.

Also, season three of Squid Game will be its last season.

Ed hits Netflix on the 27th of this month.

There's a big teaser trailer for that out there.

I haven't seen that one at all.

I haven't either.

But I bring it up.

Well, I bring it up in the article, but in part two, those two right there, those two

that we just mentioned are the lifeblood of Netflix.

And they are so afraid of what's happening with that that they have really leaned into

video games and online gaming and games that you can rent from them and a lot of that.

They're going way into that and leaning way into that because they burned so many bridges.

They would have these good shows, cancel them, and thinking that, well, we can just make

new ones or audiences who will just come back.

Audiences don't like that.

Audiences for years.

Ask the network TV about this.

How they feel when you cancel their favorite shows.

They don't take it very well.

No, and then they find something else on another platform and they should move back to it.

Between the rising prices and the lack of original entertainment, original things to bring

you to their platform, I think that, especially in the next 10 years where I don't know that

it's going to be in Netflix, I think that they're going to go down as one of the prime

examples of how to ruin a streaming service.

They could teach a master class on this.

I mean, they are.

Yes, they're one of the streaming, right?

They were the ones that just brought this to the forefront.

I'm not saying that there weren't things out there before, but they're the ones that they

were the big one that said, no, we're putting all of our stuff on this, the streaming

original content and all this stuff and then they just kind of whizzed it down the

leg.

They really did.

It's like they had no plan.

They just kept going.

You know, like, well, maybe this will work.

Maybe this will work kind of thing.

They played the first six minutes of Wednesday season two.

That's coming out in two parts, August 6th and September 3rd.

That is a show I think I would enjoy.

Oh, I like it.

I mean, did that kind of stuff so I could have anything to do with the Adam's family.

I'm going to watch the rest of my life.

I'm a diehard fan of the Adam's family, and I like the cast, really good cast, really

good people.

I think they got Gomez perfect.

You notice also they're releasing things in two parts because they are dragging out

the things that they have.

Yeah.

They are taking the HBO model and trying to use that for streaming.

Guess what?

Barely worked for HBO?

Don't you're going to work for a streaming service that is based on, hey, I want to watch

it now.

Give it to me now.

Right.

Don't make me wait.

That's not why I have a streaming service.

Exactly.

I have a streaming service to give it to me now.

Because I will wait until the entire thing is done so that I can either, you know, purchase

the DVD set because that's, that's me, I'm old school like that.

Oh, oh, wait, wait, better because when you buy the DVDs, you own it.

Yes.

Exactly.

You don't lose it.

Right.

Even if I just sit on the streaming service, you cannot still lose it.

You can still lose it.

Yes.

You can still lose it.

It's ridiculous.

No physical media.

Physical media.

Physical media.

Yes.

You're fine.

I know.

And I don't.

I don't find it.

But I'm just saying when I did, I would wait until the whole thing was done.

So I could binge watch it because that's how I take in stuff.

I don't say anything.

I'm not going to wait.

This is my show on Tuesday night.

No, no, thank you.

Hmm.

I can't do it.

I can't binge.

Well, I can watch like two episodes at a row and I'm like, I can't do it anymore.

Well, it depends on the show and it also depends on, you know, life, like I'm not going

to binge watch the whole thing in one sitting.

I will watch like three in a row.

Is that, is that binge watching that?

I don't know.

Is it?

I don't know.

Is it?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Is it?

I don't know.

Is it?

One after another?

That's my, that's my show.

I can binge watch one show.

That's it.

Sabrina, the teenage witch.

That's the only show I can binge.

That's it.

Awesome.

And I'm being absolutely serious here, by the way.

It is the truth.

He really is.

The only show that I binge watch right now is a time team.

All of them.

Yeah, really.

I know this is a talk about a modern feeling that older people are, maybe, maybe you have

no idea what I'm talking about, but you binge a show in that weird feeling of shame and

accomplishment.

Yes.

That weird feeling.

Yes.

And then let down.

Yes.

Yes.

Oh, I wanted another episode.

You guys are just like the idea of binge watching that you both have done and now you're

like, it's horrible.

Yeah.

I love that.

And it comes from working jobs where you have to stay awake overnight with nothing to

do.

All right.

Well, hey.

Try being a switchboard operator.

That would do it.

That would do it.

That would do it.

Working hotels overall.

Oh, yeah.

That would do it.

That would do it.

We got the first one of trailers for Gail Dottoro's Frankenstein.

I'm very excited about this.

Yeah.

Gail Dottoro, anything he does, is legendary, almost, pants, labyrinth, and so many the others

he's done.

And then you bring an Oscar Isaac.

And I will watch anything he does.

I'm a huge Oscar Isaac fan.

You got Christopher Walls in this one as well.

Looks good.

Looks good to me.

I'm curious.

I'm curious how we will do.

Once again, that well-trodden story that has been filmed so many times.

And I still, honestly, I liked Francis Ford Coppola's Frankenstein.

That was actually good.

But just none of them hold up to the original.

The 31.

I can't help it.

It's just so I can't.

I agree.

The only one that I love and will watch over and over is young Frankenstein.

Yeah.

And Frankenstein.

Frankenstein.

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck did a promo with Cookie Monster to hype their new crime drama

The Rip.

That's not coming out until 2027, though.

So that's kind of interesting to me.

Why?

They're already teasing it.

Whatever.

These.

And I think of all of this, there's some great stuff on this list, but there is nothing

I am more excited about, and I don't care what anybody says.

He knew Happy Gilmore 2 trailer dropped.

The movie premieres January 25th.

I am ecstatic about it.

I think it looks good.

I think it looks good.

Is Adam Sandler in it?

Yeah, Adam Sandler wrote directed stars in it, not directed, but he worked on this for

a very long time.

And he has a Netflix deal.

So he's got projects in the works and stuff that he's doing.

But it's a movie.

It's a movie.

This is the thing.

If this was a nationally released movie, I would not feel as good about it.

But the stripped down stuff that you get where you're streaming, you're just releasing

stuff on streaming, you're not as beholden to box office numbers.

So you don't have producers in your ear telling you, no, you need to have the pretty girl.

You can't have this girl.

You need to have a prettier girl or like Adam Sandler's the female character in it.

They wanted to bring her back.

Studios normally wouldn't allow that.

Oh, she's too old now.

We need to recast that.

It doesn't matter.

And Adam has final say because it's Netflix and the deal that he has.

So telling me that this is a truly happy, Madison production, I'll give Netflix credit

on this.

They get out of the way with this stuff.

They just let people, whether it's him or Martin Scorsese or anybody else.

Well, just having their name on it is going to make it successful.

It makes me excited.

And honestly, it doesn't have to be good to me.

It's nostalgia.

That's what I'm watching it for.

And Adam gets that.

And the crew gets that.

They're making this movie for fun.

Why do you think I like watching Timeteen?

Right.

Or Seth was speaking to the team and you know, we already know what happens in these episodes.

I'm not watching an episode of Parks and Recs or 30 Rock because I don't remember what

happened necessarily.

I'm watching it for nostalgia and because I enjoy it.

I love the, it's like a familiar song.

Yeah, or familiar characters that their company, you know, they're, they're just something

to make you feel, yeah, homie.

I don't know.

I like that.

Warm and fuzzy.

Warm and fuzzy.

You go pitchfork.com put together a list of the most anticipated tours of the summer.

They've got the complete list at pitchfork.com if you want to find it.

We're just going to look at a handful of these.

There better be some ag tours on them.

The weekend.

The weekend has the after hours till dawn tour going on.

That is one of the more hiked up ones.

Pinewich Nail says to peel it back tour.

Oh, we're talking about music, didn't you?

You confused her.

I love it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I thought we were like touring places.

Oh, places to tour.

Oh, places to tour.

Oh, like tourism.

Yes.

Let's look at them.

Let's look that up.

Yeah.

Let's look at them.

And come on, pitchfork.

Why wouldn't we tour a, sure, a farm?

The pitchfork is a media magazine online.

No, but I get where she's going with this.

I like it actually.

We're doing that.

We're looking that up.

I see nails and Madison ages ago.

I'd love to see them again.

Lord has the ultrasound world tour.

Good to see her back out there.

The ultrasound.

I like that.

That's cool.

Lady Gaga's the Mayhem Ball tour.

Got to see bits and pieces of that.

Is this her last tour for a while?

Yeah.

Was it some of that in Paris at the, whatever that was?

It incredible.

Yeah.

I cannot get over the stuff she's doing on that stage.

The things that they're pulling off though,

oh my god, it's amazing.

Even if you're not a Lady Gaga fan,

I think you know, just watching it is really cool.

Which is, I think more artists should lean

into the theatricality of the stage.

I think they really should.

Kendrick Lamar and Cizza had the grand national tour going on.

It's bad to be Drake.

Let's see, the flaming lips and modest mouths

had the good times of killing me tour.

Oh, I would love to go to that.

Wow.

That's an interesting pairing.

Flaming lips and modest mouths.

I like both groups a lot, but that's interesting.

Now, that one I would go to too.

I would definitely go to that.

My brother will meet you there.

My brother's always wanted to see modest mouths.

I think you'd like that one.

Cindy Loppers back at it.

The girls just want to have fun farewell tour.

Good for her.

That's great.

That's really, really cool.

Good on her.

She looks and sounds great by the way.

Like, I don't know how old she is,

but she looks and sounds.

I think almost in some ways it's fantastic, you know?

Billy Corgan and the Machines of God,

the return of zero tours.

So this is a lot of smashing pumpkins, stuff I believe.

All right.

And the number one tour that people are going over the budget

and all that kind of stuff for,

Beyonce's the cowboy Carter tour.

That'll be a big one.

Yeah.

That'll be pretty big.

Well, Cindy Loppers 71.

Really?

Wow.

Wow, and she's going out touring again.

Good for her.

She'll be 72 in June.

Awesome.

That's incredible.

I would have loved to have seen,

and they don't need to do this,

but like Cindy Loppers opening for Lady Gaga.

That would be a cool tour.

That would be a cool show or something.

That would be, yes.

I do love to see some of these

that pair ups or people opening for others.

I think it's a wonderful collaboration.

I love the idea of these.

I get these.

She's packaged tours and stuff like that.

I think though, they're actually,

because you can draw in a couple of different kind of people,

right?

And maybe they'll get into the other group that's there.

There's always that chance.

So that's one of the things I love about festivals.

Like going to those and seeing,

you know, the band members in the other band

showing up with another band on stage

and some of that stuff,

that just have fun and energy.

Right.

We'll take a time out.

We're going to come back

and we're talking about words

that we can't say on the air.

Will we come back?

Oh, that's going to be interesting.

It's going to be really interesting

when we get back on the morning show.

Well, come back, everybody.

Morning show at WFHOP.

Lady Madonna, children at your feet.

Wonder how you manage to make ends meet.

Melissa Seth and James hanging out with you.

Thanks so much for joining us, everybody.

Hope you're having a good one out there.

I'm going to get to our newsletter in a second,

but we know something that you will not see

covered in the newsletter.

A study last year found America swears

more than any other country.

And now that's a bunch of,

I'm kidding.

I just want to leave it completely silent.

There's Pat Paul to say, both others.

And now an even bigger study found

it really is true at least online.

Researchers in Australia

analyzed almost two million web pages

from a ton, I mean, millions, just so many sites.

And over 1.7 billion total words

basically is what they went over.

And they found the US

leads all other English speaking nations

in online cussing.

Okay, but that's online.

And it's English.

And people are rude online, especially Americans.

Both really good points for both of you.

Around one in every 3,000 words we write is a curse word.

The UK is next with one in every 4,200.

And then Australia with one in every 4,500.

One in every 3,000 might not sound like a lot

until you think about all the news sites

and other websites that never use swear words.

That's true, that's very true.

The stat for blogs is even higher

around one in every 2,300 words on America's blogs

is a curse word.

They went pretty broad with the counting

of a swear word, by the way, as well.

The 597 words they scanned for included everything

from obviously the big ones.

Yeah.

Two more.

The seven words you can't say on television.

Right, right.

Two more beings like Jerk.

Like that, even.

Wow, that's really broad.

That's pretty broad.

Yeah, but those are rude words.

That's true.

So what are swear words?

The, the, the, the, the Aussie researchers

behind this study almost seemed angry.

Australia didn't rank first, but they suggested

the results might be different with a spoken language.

Yes.

Quote, one possible explanation is that Australians

are more conservative when they write online,

but not so much when they are face to face,

which is almost the opposite of the states here,

where, you know, the keyboard cowards out there,

99% of them would not say any of this to people faces.

See that's the thing.

That's the thing.

Yeah.

Whereas Australians have no problem

saying this stuff to your face, but online,

they tend to be a little more polite.

And that's, I think, how it should be.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Well, let's take our cue for Australia.

The first time ever.

Let's take our cue for Australia.

Yeah.

That's a good one, then, mate.

Either way, congrats America.

Yeah, good for you.

I guess so.

Go be us a word.

OK.

Well, so for, oh, man, let's look at this in different ways.

And am I doing a little spin here?

Absolutely.

But why should politicians be the only ones

who get to do it?

We are the land of freedom.

We are the land of freedom of speech.

We should be doing this.

Like, we're an example to the rest of the world,

where there are examples of the rest of the world.

Right.

We are the experiment of democracy.

And we are the experiment of freedom of speech, freedom

of religion, all of these things.

We are teenagers compared to the rest of the world.

And for good or bad, we are the example of what to do

and what not to do.

Exactly.

And what do teenagers do?

They push boundaries.

They push boundaries.

Yes.

And everything.

We are still young people.

But I just wish that we could be more creative with our swears.

Oh, agreed.

Agreed.

Well, 100%.

Right.

And not to use it rudely, not to belittle other people,

not to make other people feel dumb or small.

But because swearing absolutely has a place in language,

because there is a purpose and a point for swearing.

But if you just, I'm sorry, say the same word over

and over and over, same swear word,

you sound like an idiot.

Well, and it loses a great, loses meaning.

Yes.

It loses potency.

That's why I've always maintained,

well, at least when I got over a certain age,

I've maintained that using swear words conservatively

is the way to go, because then it has more impact

when you use it.

If you're saying it all the time,

then it just becomes background noise.

Yes.

Yep.

Got words have meaning,

but they lose all meaning if you overuse them.

Right.

And I think that there's also the thing to me

about the idea of, I would like us to handle ourselves

with a little more class in certain ways

and in certain departments.

And I think you guys have touched on those.

So real quick, want to get from everybody out there

and we will do this online of the place.

Say your favorite swear word that is not a swear word,

like holy cow or darn.

Right.

What do you want to use in your place in yourself?

Other words in place of swear words like scissors.

Dagnummit.

Dagnummit.

I love all of those, man.

I love those.

Consarn it.

You know, those are my favorite words.

Old prospector words.

Yeah.

Anything that's old prospectory.

Oh, I love it.

Love it, love it.

I only, I, the only thing to make some better

is when you do the accent of the old prospector.

We're going to the garden, aren't it?

You got it, that's great.

Boulder Dash.

That's a good one.

Some of a monkey.

You got to say Boulder Dash.

You got to say it with an English accent though.

Boulder Dash, you know, sounds more leap in lizards.

Leap in, leap in lizards.

Leap in lizards.

That was Annie.

Yes.

That was little orphan Annie.

That was one of her.

That was like, I knew I heard that some of them.

Her exclamation was leap in lizards.

Jump in, Jehosephat.

Jump, that one's fun.

That one is fun.

That one is a fun one.

Blimey.

Tongue Twister.

Drat.

Drat.

Drat at all.

I like that one.

Golly G.

Golly G is a good one.

Golly G is one I always use as a kid.

Fui.

Fui.

Mom.

Fui Anui.

It just like throwing out random words.

I think it's also fun because it's fun, man.

And making up your own exclamations for something,

it's just it's far more creative.

And I don't know, I think this is...

Oh my God.

I just realized the word we should be using is interjections

because I just the schoolhouse rock song

just went through my head.

Yeah.

It's interjections.

That is what we're talking about right now.

We encourage you to head on over to WFHR.com right now.

Sign up for that newsletter.

We have gotten a bunch of submissions.

Yeah.

Where were three, by the way?

Where were three?

No, none of the newsletter.

We're very proud of that.

We're very proud of that.

I mean, okay, I'll make sure that happens from now on.

Yeah, come on, Melissa.

Didn't know it was a requirement.

Filthy.

She's a filthy.

You should hear her off the air.

I mean, it's just one after the other.

I'm telling the other.

Come on.

You're just trying to make me look bad, Seth.

Looking forward to a new addition tomorrow.

Sorry, we were talking about the newsletter.

Can we focus, please?

How is that going, Melissa?

It's wonderful.

Actually, I have an article that I've been working on

for the last couple of days.

It's out for some review right now,

because I went to the source, and I asked them

to review the article before I finish publishing it

on our socials, but it will be included

in this week's newsletter.

It's about the solar farms that they're talking about

putting in over in Rome.

Oh, that's a big news.

Yeah, that's important.

That's important.

There's another one that I'm working on that has to do with

a possible chemical-free option for clearing algae

and algae booms from our lakes.

And this is, it's fascinating.

That's what's cool.

So yeah, I have a lot more work to do with that, but.

Good read.

Yeah, it should be.

And then we've got Laura's been working hard on some articles.

I know I've got Chuck working on some.

And of course, our team across the state,

I curate from those that are put out on our websites

Great Scott.

That's my favorite.

Oh, I got so upset with Andy

when he kept dropping that line and noises off.

I'm like, that's my favorite swear.

Get it in there.

Gloriosky, that was, that was, I believe, a little abner.

Gloriosky, and a back to the future.

Yes, great Scott was Doc's swear word.

My favorite scene, it'll get me the rest of my life

is him looking at all the watches.

It's just Christopher Lloyd, oh, God, it gets better.

121 gigabats, gigabats.

We'll be back shorter than that.

On the morning show at WFHR.

Welcome back everybody.

Morning show at WFHR, locally grown radio.

Hope you're having a good one out there.

Thank you so much for joining us.

Melissa sat in James hanging out with you.

Let's have some fun.

What's a weird rule that you made up,

and you continue to follow,

even though you know it is a weird rule.

It doesn't make any sense maybe anymore.

Now I will grant, I think this is one of those lists

that are gonna get people thinking

and then you will come up with it probably at like midnight.

Later, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

So please get them to us when you do think of them

and we'll keep this going throughout the week here.

Yeah, everything.

But I think this is something we all do.

Do you have that weird rule that you made up for yourself

when you were younger or something along those lines

or even when you're older, that you still follow?

It can be for a good reason or no reason at all,

but you decided it was a personal rule.

No one, you were going to make this was a hill,

you were going to die, I kind of thought.

I just remembered what mine was.

Yeah, yeah, I got it.

If you need to retie one shoe lace,

you must retie the other one.

Oh, that's a good one.

If you don't, you'll end up with one shoe

that feels tighter than the other.

I did not realize this was a rule I do,

but this is what you got.

Oh, you do this.

Oh, you retie them both.

It drives me crazy.

Yeah, no, no, I always just did.

If it was one, I just did one.

I never did the other one.

I have one pair of shoes right now

that untie themselves on a regular basis,

so then when I do retie the one side,

I go back and double not the other side.

Make sure it doesn't happen.

Yes.

Do you have an order to putting on your socks and shoes?

And if you go a side from that order,

do you have to start all over?

Because I know somebody like that.

I'm not saying it's me.

What is my deal?

What is my deal?

I just realized I always do my left foot first.

Yeah, I never know what to say before.

No, I have no specific order.

When I just realized that, huh?

Wild.

When I fractured my ankle, it drove me crazy

because I start with my left.

And I couldn't, I couldn't put a shoe on it.

And I just, I felt weird just putting it up.

It's weird.

It's weird every time.

It's weird every time.

Every time from months to be a wilder, you use that.

Each armpit gets the same amount of deodorant swipes.

I don't even pay attention.

I don't count.

Yeah, I don't pay attention.

I feel, I do it by feel.

No comment.

Oh, no.

Wow.

I really, I, I really should pre-read.

You take this, James, I know I push on a pre-read.

Is this your list?

No.

How did they know?

How did they find out?

When I watched a Simpsons episode, oh wow.

I don't know that.

It's very specific.

When you meet someone, you can't swear in front of them

until they swear in front of you,

but once they swear, you can go wild.

I do that.

I would never thought of that, but yeah, yeah.

Because it's like a reading the room kind of thing.

Absolutely, yes.

If they don't swear, then it's polite to also not swear.

I tend to not swear at all in mixed company.

I realize that, unless it's with people

I'm familiar with, like very familiar with,

I tend not to swear at all.

I keep it very much in them.

You're also married to a Reverend.

So let me just hang out with church people.

I've heard your wife swear, yes, I have to.

I can say what?

No, but I think that, okay, but when you're,

when you spend time around super religious,

and I don't mean super as in you guys,

but in my experience, when you're around religious people,

they use typically don't swear.

They tend not to swear.

They tend not to swear, but.

So I just have, I have an automatic filter.

Yeah, right.

It's on when I'm around people like that,

because I just think that that is polite.

It's respectful to them and their beliefs.

And so I'm not going to try to be offensive.

Yes, we're talking about swearing again.

Lots of swearing.

If you, and so far so good.

Yeah, we've actually done a good job.

We've got 20 minutes to show left.

We can make it without getting the trouble.

We can do this.

The end of the Spider-Man movies.

What the f**k?

If you wake up in the middle of the night,

you're not allowed to look at the time.

If you know what time it is,

you'll get anxious and don't want to fall back.

Actually, this is something I just started doing

because I realized that checking the time does make me feel

like focus on how much less time I have to,

if I don't look, I tend to fall back asleep better.

Interesting.

So I made a very time-oriented person.

Well, I am too.

And I have a very good sense of time.

I actually make it a game.

If I wake up, I would see what time is it.

Let me guess and see how close.

So I still do that.

I still think, well, and you can kind of judge by the light.

Yes, especially between like two and four.

You have a pretty good, yeah.

Unless it's like super cloudy or something,

you can usually tell what time it is roughly.

Plus, I like to figure out what times I woke up.

The last two days, I woke exactly at 5.30, both days.

That's weird.

Story of my life.

See, I usually wake up around three, two to three,

typically, but yeah.

I'm sorry, we digress.

Don't sleep.

That makes it easier.

Yeah, doesn't mean you should look at the clock

ever between the hours of 10 and four.

Never use a fake excuse like I can't go.

My grandmother's sick because if she does get sick,

you'll feel horrible about it.

It's your fault.

Yes, yes.

Well, don't use fake excuses anyway.

Just be real.

Yeah, just talk about that.

I'm sorry, Seth.

I don't want to come to your party.

I just don't.

It's being honest.

It's a good policy.

Yeah.

This one is nice, but we'll have meatballs.

Why won't you want to come?

It's sad.

All right, if you have meatballs up there.

They do sound like really good meatballs.

This is a cool one.

If I find a penny on the ground, but it's not heads up,

I turn it heads up for the next person

can have a little look.

Oh, that's cool.

I like that.

I'm going to do that from now on.

I've never thought of that before.

Well, because it's fine to penny pick it up all day long.

I have good luck.

What do you hear?

I'm feeling lots of superstitions here.

Oh, I'm getting a heavy superstition vibe on this.

And as a non superstition person, it's like, yeah.

Yeah, you just got sick of staying in the bathroom every time

they made a win or got a base.

So then you had to go back in the bathroom.

Yes.

Every time they got a base, that's awesome.

It's awesome.

And you can't brag about a random act of kindness.

If you tell someone about it, it cancels out the good karma.

I would say that if you're doing something just for the good karma,

you may already be canceling it out.

And just because you don't say it out loud

might not necessarily, you know, I don't know.

I've had to see you do it for good.

That would be odd, though.

If you go around breaking about good deeds that you've done.

I agree.

There are people that do that.

That's probably true.

Yeah.

I mean, it feels a little shaky.

It's gotten a lot better, but I think the younger generations

had to really learn some of this one.

This one, I will say, because there was a lot of,

hey, look at me putting this dollar in this homeless person's jaw.

Yes, and we see that a lot on social media of,

let's, you know, let's do this really great good deed,

but we're videoing the whole thing for likes.

Yeah.

That's weird.

There will never, nobody will ever know all

of the good things I've done.

And I prefer it that way, although I think that that's the way

it should be.

I'm just to take the counter argument.

I don't necessarily disagree with you, Melissa.

Some of them.

Yeah, but part of it is even, I would say,

even if they're doing it for that, first of all,

the thing is still getting done, which is a good thing.

Yes.

And just to, you know, take it a little further,

maybe that will inspire other people to do the same thing.

That's true.

I'm not saying it's necessarily a bad thing,

but I think it gives, it gives some of those,

especially some of those videos, just a bad, a bad,

I don't know, not a bad name, but a bad,

maybe the vibe's a little bit off for something.

Yeah.

I think there's a way of doing it without it making it about you

where you can still be, you know,

that's the key.

That's the key is making it not about you,

but about the issue or the person you're doing it for,

or calling attention to something that needs more attention.

Yes.

There's probably a better way to do it.

There is a way to do it tastefully.

And I've just, I've seen it, I've seen it done both ways.

So it's out there.

Maybe this isn't a great example,

but off the top of my head, I think farmaid

is a really good example of this.

Often times, most people go into farmaid

or being a part of it.

They think they, you know, well,

so Willie Nelson should be there.

John Melacamp should be there or something like that,

but they don't know necessarily who the headliners are.

It's not so much about the headliners and the music

as it is about raising the thing.

Yeah, it's farmaid.

Not Willie Nelson brings you farmaid

or Willie Nelson, John Melacamp farmaid

or something like that.

It just tends to be the name of the show,

and that's about it.

I'm really confused about these references

to like pitchforks and farms,

and somehow it's music.

What's up?

Farmaid is a one.

I know what it is now when you,

I know what it is once you mentioned Willie Nelson,

but I'm like farmaid.

I mean, yes, farmers need help.

They absolutely do.

Why are we talking about music again?

Music and farms.

You didn't know they were just right there next to each other.

Yeah, right in there.

And it wraps up with food.

So we're kind of, there we go.

How many circles can we complete today?

And God, do I, I do, nobody wants to know

how much I am guilty of this next one.

When you're eating save a bite

of your favorite thing for last,

like maybe that last bite of mashed potato

just to finish on a high note.

Oh, I always do that.

Yes, I always choose the thing I want

to have the last in my mouth.

Yeah, I am, and I've turned, I was never,

I wasn't always like this.

I have turned into a symmetrical eater.

You have to eat it?

No, I eat it so that I have the same amount

of everything on my plate at the same time.

Wow, because I like go around.

Okay, well, that's absolutely necessary

when you have meals like Thanksgiving.

Because those things have to go,

they all go so well together.

Every meal I do it.

I just, and it's unconscious.

It's not something I started doing

because I'm like, oh, this was really interesting.

I just realized, wow.

Every time I have the same amount

of all the foods on my plate.

Okay, so if you work in a counter-clockwise fashion

where you just take a bite of something,

now you're gonna pay attention.

Maybe I do.

And it's gonna throw off the algorithm.

Okay, but here's one conscious thing I do

that I've done since I was little.

I never wear sunglasses, never.

What, why?

Ever.

I don't have a good reason for it.

I really don't.

I've come up with things like,

oh, you know, because you're kind of,

when I was younger and more stupid and silly,

I would be like, you know,

because you're like covering your eyes from the world,

you know, and it's like, I can't see you can see me,

but I can't see you kind of thing.

But now I just, I just don't like him, I think.

I just don't like sunglasses.

I don't like that darkness for whatever reason.

Okay, have you tried, have you tried like the different,

like a brown lens versus a gray lens or a black lens

and never reflect them?

Never gone that far.

Really?

It's just, I don't know, I'm not going to wear sunglasses.

See, I love wearing like the, the brown or the orange

kind of tinted ones because it makes the greens look

so much greener and the blues are so much bluer.

It's really cool when you're driving

to just have that filter, I guess you could say,

on the world, but also,

do you have rose-colored glasses to use as well?

No, I tried to get rid of those.

They keep coming back though.

But to protect your eyes too,

from the glare of sun.

I know all the arguments for them, very valid.

All right, so, but still, no.

So in 15 years, James, when we got a lead suth around,

he's got cataracts.

Like a big blind, you know, yeah.

We'll come back to this segment of the day.

See, see, does anybody else do this

where you're in the store and you,

you almost refuse to grab the first item,

you got to go behind and grab the box of cereal.

It depends on what it is, not serious.

Usually produce for me.

I did.

Or lunch meat.

Lunch meat.

Like if there's packages of lunch meat,

I usually try to get the one that's closest

to the refrigerated section.

Because that's probably the newest one, right?

Or not necessarily that, but also the coldest.

Oh, that's true, that's true.

Depending on what kind of a potato you have.

Like I can say, they have an open air.

Yeah.

Yes, so.

Got to make the toothbrush wet before you brush your teeth.

Yes, that one.

Before you put the toothbrush on, yes.

I do both, I guess I just realized that I'm not

a stickler for that one.

And this one may just be being raised by military members

and everything, but I cannot eat my food out of order.

And I eat my main serving first, sides next.

And if there's any dessert or something like that list,

but I cannot go out of order.

And it hurts my brain to try to.

Even if what I want is the sides,

and I don't really care about this,

I got to get through this to get to that.

I'm sorry, James.

I had brownies for lunch yesterday, so.

Oh, that's awesome.

That's cool.

That's the way to do it.

That's the best show I've ever seen.

Eat anything you want whenever.

There you go.

That's what Melissa's philosophy is.

That's my philosophy, and I'm sticking to it.

You live in life right over there.

We will be back and wrap up the show,

Morning Show on WFHR.

Welcome back, everybody.

Morning Show here at WFHR, locally grown radio.

Melissa, Seth, and James hanging out with you,

wrapping up the show for another day.

but of course, we will have the Civic Media Scotty Summer

text-to-win contest going on.

We got opportunities at just about less than 10 minutes here.

Can I just go in somebody suitcase?

Mm-hmm.

Just take me with you.

Calga on, take me away.

Bring two suitcases.

You guys, I can, I can, I can vacation.

Sadly, mine needs to be bigger than his,

even though he's way taller than I am.

Looking, hopefully going to have a new addition

to the rapid support for you today.

We usually have the wood kind of shares department

and we're not certain if we'll be able to

because their day job comes first.

So we will, of course, remember that.

But we'll, we'll have them in soon

if they're not able to join us.

Today, but we'll more on today.

I would say, be check out WFHIRD.com around too.

Look for that if there's any new pods up

and we'll have more.

And if there's one that you missed,

go back and listen, because they're great.

That's right.

We're all right there.

That rapid support, getting more and more popular

everybody, I don't know, I don't know where it just came from.

But at the top of my head, I was just thinking,

wow, that's really cool.

Speaking of that, Ashley just gave us

some excellent news about the rapid support as well.

Very exciting, very exciting.

I was, I was disclosed to saying something.

I'm not going to, you're not going to get me to do it.

I'll give it away right now.

And speaking, if I have, can I go off script for a moment?

I've been also talking with our producer, Laura,

about potentially bringing back community stories

as a podcast.

Yes.

So, yes, we're talking about that.

It's in the works.

I do hope we can bring that back.

And we've got our new news director

that has joined Civic Media is already,

she is doing a fantastic job already.

She is.

Often running, I am so excited to work with

Shally Pittman.

And I think there's a really great, good,

good times ahead for the news department

and for our company.

Sounds awesome.

That just personally is encouraging me.

So that's awesome.

Oh, my goodness.

Have you not noticed that I'm like floating a little bit,

the weight's gone, you know?

I was a little worried.

It was that you had lapped yourself.

And you were just like, I'm done.

I bet that's much more encouraging.

Oh, that's really good to hear.

And great to hear about community stories.

Yes, we really do.

Yeah, it is.

We really do want to bring it back.

There won't be a playmakers for you today,

but we will have sports on your 105-5 dial set.

Yes, the game we were supposed to bring you yesterday,

everyone, of course, we're in playoff time.

So every game must be played.

And today is the day when assumption is taking on

Pechelli, I cannot tell you how big this game is, of course,

meeting in the playoffs, two big rivals.

And it's at the same time it would have been yesterday.

420 pre-game, we got 430, first pitch for that one.

Mike Comer, of course, we'll have the call on that one.

So tune in right around that time on 105-5,

Raptor's hosting Fondue Lack.

Looking forward to having that on the radio.

The Doc Spiders, yes.

That's going to be a good one.

It's proud of me that I knew their name.

I am actually quite proud.

And surprised.

I think it's all things everyone said well.

And you guys don't comment on it.

I feel so happy.

Well, maybe they'll get some bases today.

It is a Wednesday.

We all know what that means.

Why wouldn't the lucky little figurines

for that game be little puppy dogs?

Why is it trolls?

Why isn't it little puppy dogs?

I don't know.

That's a good point.

That's a good point.

Be fair.

Fair.

Seth, we had some things.

We also wanted to touch on over there.

If you can get that.

Correct, we've got this weekend.

It is the annual Pioneer Festival at the historic point

boss, Saturday from 10 to 5, Sunday from 10 to 4.

A sensory band, they did some good copy on this one.

I like this.

A sensory experience you won't want to miss taste,

the homemade ice cream, smell the campfires,

see life the way it was lived in the past.

Here's stories and sounds of nature,

the way the wakelies did.

Of course, you can be food and beverage is available there.

It is an event for the entire family at 3.64,

Wakely Road in Nakusa.

Treat this also, by the way.

Treat your little explorers and yourself

to a day of traveling through the past

into the 1800s right here in Central Wisconsin.

Okay, what happens if I show up and cost him?

Oh, I think they would love that as a matter of fact.

Okay, I feel like, because I might, I could.

I think they'd like that.

Yeah.

I just am not surprised me.

You've got Pioneer Cosplay.

It does not surprise me at all.

Pioneer woman, that's okay.

That's right, a little off the prey, right?

That's the one thing.

Well, I mean, most of my stuff actually comes from

like Renaissance Festival, which is similar,

like clothing wise, you have long skirts and layers

and I can, I can make it work.

All right.

One reminder, the book bin is out for the Fall Book Sale,

We work with many times and appreciate the work that they do.

Go to wpr.org to so you can get a visual to some of the great audio that they have

done recently.

They track down three zookeepers who welcome to their grounds, baby animals, including

a Canadian Lynx kittens, otters, and a camel.

Whoa!

These are just the baby right here in state.

I want to see a baby camel.

They are so cute, so awesome.

And just, yeah, you have to check.

You have to see them to believe them.

I see them to really take it in.

It's so cute.

It's a little home.

It's a little home.

She's squeeing.

She's squeeing.

But it's so adorable.

I can do it, baby.

You are never going to see a camel cuter than when they are a baby.

Oh, man.

That is it.

Oh, they got a lovely neck.

They're pretty cool.

They're pretty cool.

Check that article out, everybody.

I encourage you to check that out.

And check this.

This is about register.

Check this out.

A kid in Florida found a message in a bottle that two kids in Hawaii tossed in the ocean

seven years ago.

Oh.

A 11 year old.

Josey Law of Michigan was vacationing with her family when she spotted the water.

The note in the water.

The note was from a 13 year old and an eight year old dated August 17th, 2018.

And if it really did start in Hawaii, it was a very long way to get there.

Ocean currents mean it would have had to float down around the tip of South America.

Yes.

Up the coast of Africa and back across the Atlantic Ocean, did it four to coast.

Oh, my goodness.

It went around the half the world.

That's amazing.

That's it.

That is a route.

It is.

What did it say?

They did not say it.

They did say what it had.

This is my message in the bottle.

I'm curious though what it said.

I still want to do that through a message about it.

Great show today, you two.

You two James.

Be good to each other out there.
