Good morning, Wisconsin.
Morning, world.
It's a new day.
Thanks for kicking it off with us here at 97-5 FM, WFHR.
Take it, Marvin.
Your host, James behind the mic, over on that mic, Seth Habhagger.
Good morning.
And the best listeners and radio out there, thanks so much for joining us.
We appreciate you.
Really fun.
9 o'clock hour.
Let's keep that vibe going for the 10 o'clock.
Yes.
Our final hour of the week will be back at this next week, of course.
Be listening in this hour a little bit later, Seth and I are going to be talking about
Jurassic Park.
I know it would you go to a real life Jurassic Park.
That's it.
If you go, do you have to bring a glass of water just in case you go to, like, is that?
That's their only warning, Seth.
It is.
It is shaking water.
They put all the money in it, evolution, all the science into this.
This is our warning system, which is why every guest walks around with a glass of water.
That is going to go on a little bit later.
We're also going to be talking about Bluegrass at the lake, got a chance for you to win some
tickets.
You'll listen to that.
Yes.
We want people to go.
We got our schedule to get into and plenty of other fun stuff here coming up throughout
the hour.
Yes.
Kick things off with a little bit of entertainment news and Seth, the doughnut championship
thing sounded a lot of fun, and I cannot be more serious about this.
I really want to go to this.
The 1985 Cinematic Classic, Tommy Boy, turns 30 this year, and it's getting its own celebration
in Sandusky, Ohio, where the movie was set.
That's right.
Okay.
Tommy Boy Fest goes down August 7th through the 9th, and David Spade isn't booked, but there
is some rumors he might show up.
That'd be cool.
In fact, no stars in the movie have been scheduled yet.
I would love to see Dan Ackroyd and some others show up to that.
The director, Peter Siegel, is along with the actual car from the movie going to be there.
That's great.
That's kind of cool.
There you go.
Activities will include, of course, movie screenings, live music, a classic car show, look
alike contests, and Tommy wants a winging throw down.
I imagine that's a winging contest or something.
I don't know if any of that necessarily really pulls me to it.
I just love the idea of celebrating that movie and the fun of that.
One of those movies, it was for my college years.
That was one that we, it was a go-to movie.
I like the black sheep, but I watch, I mean, like you did in many, you did out there.
I watch it on an endless loop for so much of my early childhood, I've seen you in
a few years and stuff, and I think that this is a cool idea, but it's a great opportunity
to celebrate the movie and all that, but what it really is is celebrating Chris Farrow.
It is.
It's a way to be able to do that, which is, I think, really cool.
I like that idea of being able to do that without specifically making it about him, because
maybe there'd be something a little bit cringy about saying that kind of stuff, but if you're
honoring some of his work, it was the most popular movie he was in, for sure.
I think that makes it a little less weird.
I also would understand if David Spade wouldn't want to do it, just that that's still even
fresh for him.
You know, when he talked about him.
He was so close.
He and Chris were so close.
Yeah, they were.
Any chance to celebrate that guy?
One of the things I got to say really quick, too, because I deal with this with a lot
with the second city and with a lot of young students that want to be the next Chris Farrow
Lee, and they try really hard, and there's only one Farrow Lee, and usually have to have
that discussion with them.
What I will say is about, they don't, every one of these kids, 19, 18 years old, whatever,
oldest, maybe 2021 or whatever, that try to do this or bring this up.
They remember Farrow Lee, they talk about him, they don't romanticize him.
I really like that.
That's good.
I really like that there's this love and respect for him.
Also understanding he wasn't perfect, and, you know, we lost him too young for a reason,
and the dangers of that, and so much of mental health and conversation that comes up when
we talk about Farrow Lee.
This legacy, it's even bigger than I think any of us could have realized when we lost
him.
And it's not just comedy that's a, I love that.
I like the idea of the fast.
I think it's a really fun idea.
Well, how many movies are set in San Dusky Ohio?
I mean, seriously.
That's kind of cool.
Yeah.
You can go to cityofsanddusky.com to find out more about it.
Holy schnikes, that's going to be fun.
And Bruce Springsteen, the boss, has got his lost albums that he's going to be releasing.
Who released seven lost albums in June?
Holy what?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Seven albums in June on June 27th.
They're a part of a box set called Tracks 2, The Lost Albums, in total it has 83 previously
unreleased tracks that were recorded between 83 and 2018.
My goodness.
74 of them have never been heard before.
74?
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
You were just talking about prints earlier about this.
I think I've rambled before, Frank Zapp has got albums that he recorded, that nobody will
ever hear.
There's a number of artists like this that we've heard this about.
I've never heard this about Bruce Springsteen before.
No.
That's why I was so shocked about it.
I've never considered him like a prolific songwriter or recorder, but the wow, that opened
my eyes.
I will say, the first thing I think of with Bruce Springsteen is him as a songwriter.
That's the first thing you have got.
But I know what you're saying, though, too.
I hear you.
Not somebody that's sitting there writing, just doing this, apparently, I didn't know
he was recording him, too, which is interesting.
Yeah.
I got to think there's got to be a lot of great stuff on there.
One of the things we do know that's on there, we touched on this, talked about it, one
of our previous segments, is his dip into country music world, and there's some country
stuff on it.
Oh, and he's done folk stuff and things.
He's actually at a much broader musical palette than I think a lot of people know.
I'm telling you, there is an alternate universe where Bruce Springsteen is the Bob Dylan of
that universe.
He is the folk king of that universe.
Right.
What he was going to do.
That's kind of style he wanted to do.
But he did that little turn into rock and roll, and it still worked out just fine for
him.
But still, you're right.
It could have been a little different.
Tom Cruise said, again, his world record while filming Mission Impossible, the final
recording.
It was for most burning parachute jumps by an individual.
Oh my God.
It's crazy.
Tom jumped out of a helicopter 16 times while strapped to a parachute, pre-soaked, infueled,
and lit on fire.
According to Guinness, no other actor or stuntman has come close to that amount of drops.
Guinness editor in chief says, quote, Tom doesn't just play action heroes.
He is an action hero.
A large part of his success can be chalked up to his absolute focus on authenticity and
pushing the boundary.
So what a leading man can do.
That's a kind way of putting it, I guess.
Yeah.
Otherwise, to synopsize this, he's insane.
Well, and I mean that lovely.
I mean that as somebody who I wouldn't be doing this if I could.
I admire him doing that.
Right.
The thing that I mean, I honestly, if that's what Tom Cruise makes him happy, go for it, man.
You go and do that.
The thing that gets a little old is the look what I'm doing.
Look at what I'm doing.
You know, kind of, it's a little bit it's like, yeah, we know Tom.
We get it.
Well, let's be fair here, Seth.
We all know that Jackie Chan went in every single, wait a minute, no, that's right.
Jackie Chan busted his tail and his head literally.
Yeah, and hands and arms and everything you can bust.
Yes.
Outside it may be rumble in the Bronx.
You never see like him talk, and the only time he talks about it is because he literally
got a hole in his head and he was trying to show people how it happened.
The look at me, Louis stuff with Tom Cruise is very old and very tired to me.
That's been kind of his MO for a long time and two different varying degrees of success.
And here's the thing about it that is I think the most frustrating part of it for me with
this.
He doesn't need to do it.
No, he doesn't.
We would do it for him.
Yeah.
If he didn't do it, I would be talking and bragging about him even more.
Yeah.
It's because he does that it's, it wears down.
When you're good, here's a note to everybody out there to all the egomaniacs or wannabe
alpha males or anything like that.
When you're good at something, you don't have to brag.
Exactly.
Other people do it for you.
That's how, Michael Jordan never called himself the goat, never has called himself that.
No.
Other people do it for him.
Yeah.
You don't have to do this Tom.
It's lame.
It's tired.
Yeah.
And we, all the credit you should be being given for doing all this stuff, which I credit
him for.
Yeah.
Yes.
Exactly.
It helped the movie industry survive after the pandemic and everything with Top Gun and
some of that stuff and the, but it loses all that meaning because of this lame stuff
that he does and everything and this need, you know, this, this constant need for attention
and credit.
He gets in his own way.
A lot.
Tom Cruise is the Aaron Rodgers of actor.
That is the perfect comp.
It just, it just, it just, it's just right there.
You are so right.
Uh, quote, uh, Tom said, uh, quote, if, if this is twisted while it's burning, I'm going
to be spinning and burnt, I have to kick out a twist then and in 19, 10 seconds, he had
an actual process to this, which I think does is kind of interesting watching a movie
and stuff.
But yeah, we do cover Guinness Roll Records.
So I had to get that one there, apparently I didn't know that was the thing.
Of course, that happens a lot with world records.
But still, well, good for you Tom and now can you please stop talking about it?
Yeah.
Taking a look at what's new on your small screen, big screen and of course your email
box and other places, other, uh, maybe radio stations tonight, uh, you've got a game
two of the Stanley Cup finals, Edmonton, verse, Florida, wild finished that one, um, both
teams are better than they were last year.
And it's, it's not often that the sequel is better than the original.
This one might be, it might be, we'll, we'll see, hockey is so crazy, uh, BNT and true
TV tonight.
Okay.
You see, late to the party, uh, uh, a TV show from Charlie Blow, a documentary from
Charlie Blow.
Okay.
Uh, you will also have the four season premier resident alien, uh, our guy, Alan, uh,
Tudyk.
Alan Tudyk.
Yes.
By the way, that film, excuse me, that show is, uh, one of the executive producers, all
you trek fans out there is, uh, um, uh, uh, I forgot his name, um, uh, uh, Patrick McNeil,
he was on Voyager.
Uh, he played Tom Parris on Voyager.
Okay.
Uh, behind the scenes, he was a, uh, a director, he's directed many TV shows.
He's been the producer in many shows.
He is one of the driving forces behind resident alien.
Cool.
And so I want, uh, uh, I want to give shout out to him because, uh, I always loved him
on, on the show, but, uh, he's, he's done a, he's done a much better job behind the
camera.
I, uh, I haven't been able to keep up with it, but I like the show.
I saw the first season and really liked it.
Uh, my mom and dad really liked it.
Yeah.
Uh, the premiere tonight on Fox on a max is the stream of premiere of the Alto Nights, uh,
movie starring Robert De Niro and dual roles about arrival in 1950s crime boss.
Uh, I got to see that.
Uh, De Niro goes back to his roots.
Well, and it, it's really him acting his tail off, man, at this age, playing dual roles
and doing all these things.
That's not easy.
I don't know what it is about him in his drive, but he is continues to try to push it
to everything for every rocking a bullwinkle or whatever, late in life, the movie sees
doing, uh, of all the actors, maybe Pacino a little bit more, but of all the current
live still working actors, you can make an argument, there's nobody who has to worry
about their legacy more than Robert De Niro.
Nope.
Uh, and he continues to try to push himself and do these things in his 80s and stuff.
I don't know how you can admire that.
That is a drive.
Yeah.
I love it.
And I cannot wait to watch this.
Uh, and seven o'clock tomorrow and, uh, premiering tomorrow night, a live performance
of Good Night and Good Luck, the Tony nominated play starring George Clooney as legendary
broadcaster Edward R. Murrow based on the film that he directed, uh, starting the
great David Strahan, um, I love the idea that they did that.
And that is very cool.
I'm very curious about that.
They need to do more of that stuff.
Seriously.
Broadway needs to get over itself and let a more of these plays be, uh, for public consumption.
It can only help them.
It can only help.
It's good publicity.
It's doing it the way they've been doing it, sure, and helping.
Nope.
Counting on a Hamilton or a wicked to pop out of nowhere or a Spamalot or something like
that.
How good?
How is that helping Broadway?
How is that helping the actors?
The legacy of that?
It's, it's not.
Get over yourself.
They, they, another, another thing that needs to kind of think about changing a little
bit.
And they, uh, they 78th annual 20 awards are this weekend of Broadway.
Yeah.
The, uh, Cynthia Irvo is going to be hosting that.
She should be good at that.
I bet.
Interesting.
Okay.
Uh, uh, and, uh, two o'clock on Sunday on Hulu, the 2025 LA Pride Parade, uh, Neesey
Nash, Jessica Betts, uh, a bunch of people are going to be involved with that one.
Very cool.
Tonight, seven o'clock NBA Finals game two, Oakley Seag v. Indiana, um, crazy, speaking
of crazy finishes.
How about last night?
Yeah.
Tyree's Halliburton has as many game winning shots as Michael Jordan.
Oh, already.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
Crazy.
It's crazy.
Uh, the kid is just, we, we have seen the emergence of a, uh, a possible, uh, superstar
here.
He's always been good.
He's always been one of those upper, you know, players that people talk about.
But he's kind of really grabbed the bull by the horns.
Yeah.
So to speak.
If, if, if that's going to happen for him to get to that next level, this is either
got to go seven or they got to win it.
Yeah.
Uh, or he has got to have a, because he's only averaging like in the teens for points.
It's, it's these moments are great as superstar every minute, every quarter you're showing
up.
But he's got it.
He's got to make sure he doesn't really like him.
Yeah.
I really like him.
I feel like I was a constant guy.
He's got the boy too.
So he got to, he got to give that a shout out.
Yeah.
Uh, and, uh, not a lot coming out into the, uh, big and theaters right now, uh, the
definition scheme, which I mentioned earlier, open to nationwide, it's rated PG 13, the
great, the wonderful Wes Anderson directs it, Benicio Del Toro, Michael Sarah, Tom Hanks
Brian Cranston, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, and Benedict Cumberbatch, just the
top of all.
Just, just to throw a few extra people in there.
Uh, you know, uh, he's one of those directors that, uh, you know one thing.
It may not be good or you may not like it, but she's, he's always doing something interesting.
Yeah.
Those are so rare these days that you can find a guy's that Christopher Nolan, you know,
uh, Wes Anderson, Paul Thomas Anderson, these guys that have been given the, you know,
the, the leeway to do interesting things that we get, we have to celebrate those folks.
Yeah.
And, uh, ballerina, uh, the prequel is set between the third and fourth John Wick movies,
which means, uh, that is why canna Reeves shows up.
I saw a bunch of people barking about, no, you shouldn't be in it.
Like, it's, it's, it's a prequel kind of thing.
Yeah.
I think she's a fan of Anna Diarmus.
I think she's incredible.
And she brings it in this role.
She, uh, learned and trained with weapons and all these things and you could really see
it in her performance, uh, Gabriel Byrne and Angel, uh, Angelica Houstoner in it.
I love that.
Oh, got some of the old guard in there.
Nice.
Got Norman Reedus and Ian McShane showing up.
Why?
And, uh, I believe the last performance of Lance Riddick, who was one of my favorite character
actors of all time.
Right.
Oh, I'm excited.
I'm excited.
Yeah.
I'm excited.
Nice.
I'm excited to watch it.
Uh, but everybody's trying to get out of the way because July is going to be gigantic
for our movies.
New Superman, new Fantastic Four, a lot of big stuff coming out.
Um, uh, we are going to be, uh, we got a lot of big stuff in our WFHR newsletter, the
newest edition.
Encourage you to sign up for that.
Everybody had a new edition premiere yesterday.
It showed up in my email box at noon, uh, shout out to Melissa Kay and the executive producer
of that that does an amazing job.
And of course, all of our great writers, um, that work on this, not only, uh, great people
from about the civic media family, um, but of course, around here and Chuck Genero and,
uh, the great work that Laura is working on.
She does a lot of great stuff with the rapid support, uh, interviews and certainly covering
other things.
And Michael Komer got everything you need to know about local sports.
I mean, like literally everything.
Yeah.
He somehow crams everything in there.
It is remarkable.
We are so lucky to have him, um, uh, being blunt with the audience.
We don't have a ton of opportunity for promotion of our stations and what we do around
here.
So I like to take a note to do that.
And of course, uh, we are, uh, our sister station, one of five five WRI has some great stuff
going on this weekend, including a brand new show, Seth, uh, tell them about trail tunes.
What the, uh, that will follow that, of course.
You know, it's been a couple of years now since we started trail tunes and moved around
a little bit, but I think it's found a new homes of Saturdays at six o'clock, the best
of cowboy, western and south of the border songs.
Check that one out.
Of course, everyone, but going, uh, starting right after that premiere, brand new show
on Saturday, seven o'clock, everyone, red, folk and blue.
I'm sure you remember that red, folk and blue, uh, Laura's new show.
She is going to be, uh, highlighting Americana music.
Now, it's a very broad category because it didn't get, can include folk and blues and
country and bluegrass and rockabilly and all kinds of great stuff, Americana music.
So it's going to have a lot, excuse me, it's going to have a very wide variety of music.
We do encourage you, of course, to check it out this first couple of episodes she's doing.
It's kind of a little tie in with bluegrass at the lake so you can hear a little more
bluegrass, uh, this Saturday and, and next Saturday while the, uh, the festival is going
on as well.
So I'll keep that in mind, uh, as we, as we kick off the show, but we're very excited
to have, uh, red, folk and blue, seven o'clock right after trail tunes every Saturday.
We are so excited about that.
This, of course, a connection with our great friends at bluegrass at the late, uh, big
shout out to Carolyn and all the great performers and all the wonderful volunteers and everybody

We got great, uh, rafter baseball on the radio dial for you tonight, 6, 20, rafters hosting
Royal Oak.
Um, I, I've been enjoying the team.
The number of cons.
It's such a weird.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I'd much rather be at a rafter.
Oh, rafter.
I'd rather be a rat.
Grab your ores and get on over to Winterfield for this one tonight.

Yes.
Seth and I will be hanging out.
We're going to talk some baseball, talk some rafters, uh, and yes, we will be talking about
AA, Ron.
Um, but in a different way than I think most of the talking heads will be, uh, yeah, James
has not told me how the, the angle he's a problem, curious now.
I want to see what he's, what, what his take is on this, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm very curious.
I, I think, I think I, we have a different angle out of it.
I think we do.
We'll see.
And of course, we incur anything is better.
Yeah.
The normal discourse.
Watch your phone calls for the show.
Join us from four to five today.

it is, the pitch, the, well, that way, that's what they play on.
We'll be starting at 11 o'clock.
My coma will have the call on that, uh, for you.
And this is just a taste, uh, everyone as we wrap up the season, the spring season, uh,
for high school sports, depending on how far our assumption goes, of course.
And we look forward to the fall and, uh, we have big plans.
I'm going to say that we've got big plans for, uh, what's coming up here.
So all you fans of all the area schools here, not just not the two schools and rapids,
but we got Neku support Edwards.
You know, we're going to try to cover all of that as much as we possibly can.
Different sports we're looking at doing, uh, new sports next year as well.
And, uh, and there's also a call for all of you, uh, businesses out there that might want
to sponsor this.
It's very important.
We need you in order to bring these games, uh, to everyone.
So, uh, if you're, if you're wanting to dip your toe in, a little radio advertising,
this is a great way to start, is to sponsor high school games.
Encourage you to be a part of the team.
Everybody give a front desk a call 424-1300 and Pam will put you in touch with our great
sales staff.
Um, and, uh, I, I, Seth isn't kidding, uh, we have such a, a fun next year, fall all
that have lined up for you.
We've got a, for the first time in a long time, we've got a, uh, sports director here,
WFHR and WRI and Michael Comer and he is hungry.
He is coming at it.
Uh, we're excited about that.
And he knows literally everything.
There's not a thing he can't, I've been just astonished by his knowledge.
I'm very excited about that.
It's very, very, a lot of fun.
We're excited about our great weekend lineup for you as well.
Just a reminder of some of the fun you can, uh, and, you know, keep going here.
Uh, the fun keeps going here at WFHR throughout the weekend.
And not only do you have a raft or baseball to look forward to, but you'll have the sunshine

Gonna be a good one.
The show this week, uh, is less Tim, a more music.
Unfortunately, when he, uh, did the show, his voice was almost gone.
Oh, so about it.
Hey, it's full of polka.
You're going to get your fill of polka this weekend.
Uh, big thank you to Tim for all the work he does on that.
Now, gigantic, thank you to our friends and family natural foods who are the definition
of buying local supporting local and supporting this community.
They're amazing.

I'm slowly going through the numbers.
So I've done one in three.
So I got to, I had to fill the gap in with two.
So, um, I'm sure there's songs there that you've heard that maybe,
maybe you haven't heard in a long time, but I can guarantee you'll have a lot of fun.
That'll be a good one.
Yeah.
And, uh, be sure to join us from eight to nine every Sunday for unlabeled,
your nineties mixtape and keep in mind.
If you love a song from the nineties, uh, I will play it.
Let me know.
He will, even if he hates it, he will play it because that's what it shows all about.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Go ahead and get me your request, everybody.
Jamestown, I haven't done that enough.
I need to, jeez.
Yeah, it's all these names.
Hates, please do.
I can only imagine nothing but spice girls.
Yeah.
And we'll be having some fun with that one.
Be listening for it.
Thanks so much to everybody for, uh, supporting these shows.
Yeah, greatly appreciate you doing that.
And that's where I want to wrap up, Seth, because all of these shows, uh,
outside of, you know, maybe Terry talks nutrition and some could all use sponsors.
It's great opportunity for you as a business to put your name right here on this station.
It's been here 80 plus year support in this community, covering this community.
You hear the way we talk about LKFA or some of our other great family
natural foods, you heard me callvers, yeah, all of them.
We, we go on above and beyond.
That's, that's my, that's my job.
I, one of my jobs, I feel like if you advertise with us, I'm going to go above and
beyond to talk about you.
And especially if you're sponsoring one of our shows like Seth faces the music or
trail tunes or, uh, any of these great shows, and I, I do want to announce it.
I'm not even sure if I can do this or not, but I'm gonna.
He's going for it.
Because I support them.
I, I appreciate them.
Our rapids report, our wonderful show that we get to bring you Monday through
Friday, where we bring in local guests and cover this area like nobody else is.
It's produced by Laura and I, I do this silly hosting thing and stuff.
And, um, this show is that one of the most popular shows in this area,
everybody, we got the numbers to back it up.
We do, uh, you can stream it every Monday through Friday, starting at two o'clock.
Today, we'll have representative Scott Kruegan with us.
Can't wait to talk to Scott and in part two, we're going to talk to some new people
over in the middle of the library.
Nice.
This show is now proudly brought to you by Crockett Sceptic.
One of the, uh, one of, I mean, a true supporter of local anything,
long time sponsors and, uh, uh, commercial buyers here at WF.
I mean, you've all heard the, the, the, the jingles.
You know the jingle, everyone.
You could sing it right back.
You might be very upset at us.
No, but if you heard the jingle, it's fantastic that they are, uh,
they are, uh, helping us get rapids report out there that they're sponsoring that show.
A big shout out to Crockett Sceptic.
Thank you so much.
Yeah.
Really appreciate it.
Yeah.
Um, uh, again, by local support, local everybody and support those that support this community.
We will take a time out.
We'll come back and we're talking about Jurassic Park world real life.
Would you go to it and, uh, and find out.
Welcome back, everybody.
Morning show here at WF HR, locally grown radio, 97 five FM,
Seth and James hanging out with you.
Hope you're having a great Friday out there.
Thank you so much for being with us.
This Sunday is national dinosaur day.
Uh, so here's a question for you.
All right.
If there was a real life Jurassic Park, would you go or would you rather just,
you know, avoid that whole thing?
You gove pulled more than 5,000 Americans.
And most of us don't think it would be worth the risk.
Less than a third said that they would definitely buy tickets.
Okay.
Only 29% said that they would go 50% said no way and 21% weren't sure.
Okay.
Now I usually make fun of that unsure category, but I think if this one, it's okay.
I really do.
Give a little grace on the fence.
I have a little wiggle room on this one.
Um, shockingly men were more likely to say yes than women.
Oh, that's incredibly shocking.
Actually, I will say it's, the numbers were a little surprising.
Not that men would go do this with women, but it's only 35% to 23% of women.
Yeah, that's far apart.
No, it really isn't.
So, and the older you are, the less likely you are to think it would be fun.
Only 17% of seniors would go into a real life Jurassic Park compared to 41% of people under 30.
Man alive.
Can I say something for myself if I, if I was in senior eight?
Okay.
And, um, and look, just being honest, we all got to go some way.
Um, I don't know.
I mean, I feel like if I got to go, like, how did it been?
How did James die?
I just heard he passed away.
How did they go?
T Rex is going to say being eaten by a T Rex, like, not a bad, okay?
Seriously, what happened?
What happened?
No, no, he was eaten by a T Rex.
Like, I feel like if you got to go, that's a pretty cool way to go.
I mean, it's T Rex's for vegetarians.
Yeah, yeah.
Honestly, though, they were so big, would, would we even register?
Cause you think they go after the bigger meals, right?
This is part of it.
I don't think it'd be painful.
It's pretty much one bite.
Yeah, yeah, you're toast.
Yeah, it was, it was, it was, it was as well as you hold.
Then that's just horrible, agonizing death.
But, but hey, you went out, you went out like a rock star, man.
You ain't, you ain't taking out my dinosaur.
Oh, man, I, okay.
So, so they, they do nothing in these films, but show us how dangerous it would be to have
dinosaurs in a theme park.
And it's like, hey, do you want to go?
What have you been showing us all this time?
I don't know why they keep on, you know, I don't know why they keep opening new ones.
I didn't, they keep bringing the franchise back.
I don't think they got port Scarlett Johansson wrote it around.
They never, they never learn, you know, it just, they, they also asked if people think
we should try to bring back dinosaurs like they did in the movie.
Only 18% said yes, 57% said no, and 25% aren't sure if it's a good idea.
Now this one boggles my mind.
In what universe do you think it's a good idea to bring back a dinosaur?
Seriously, completely different, echoes, I mean, the planet was so different back then.
There's a reason they were there at that time, you know, because the conditions were good
for that kind of animal kind of thing.
No, what would we do with them?
Release them into the wild?
No.
Are you crazy?
There's nowhere on the planet you could put, no.
Like the one of the most sci-fi things about Jurassic Park is that you could actually find
somewhere to do this.
Right.
Like they, I believe it's a made up island.
It is.
It is.
It's not a real thing, yeah.
Well, this actually, we got thousands of islands that are uninhabited, you know, they could
have picked one of those.
They picked a fake one for a reason, because this is literally scientifically not only impossible
on the level of actually making them real, but doing something like that.
And the thing that gets lost in the shuffle with a lot of this stuff, and I don't, and oddly
enough, as much as I appreciate science, and I like even scientists in reading about science,
one of the things that boggles my mind about a scientist is how out of touch they can
be sometimes.
With the idea of certain things, because the idea of science or creation or anything like
that, all, I think, most of it at least stems from good places, and from wanting to do
something different, and look at the dodo, and the idea of bringing the dodo back.
It's a wonderful animal that was taken out to not have its own fault.
No.
It was actually incredibly smart bird, it was very smart, it just didn't have any defenses.
Right.
And without natural enemies, what are you going to defend against, right?
Exactly.
So, you want to bring that back.
That sounds like a really wonderful, feel-good story and everything like that.
Now, where are you going to put in the food chain?
Yeah.
Because it's been out of it for so long.
Because it mucks up everything, and as much as we love the dodo, would like to bring
the dodo back, I'm sorry, that's not how this works.
That's why it's so vital that we take care of animals while we have them, like polar
bears and so many others that are on the endangered species list.
Once you lose them, there's no bringing it back, because once you do, it completely mucks
up the whole food chain.
And guess what, everybody, that does fall on our shoulders.
Anybody that wants to say, oh, that's not my responsibility, I'm a human.
No, you don't get to be at the top for nothing.
The idea of people on the top not taking responsibility for every action that goes on below them is
not leadership.
That's not what a leader is.
No.
You do it.
I don't care.
You're in charge.
It falls on you.
You don't get to help.
You don't get to have the title without responsibility.
You can't pick and choose.
Right.
Yeah.
About what that kind of thing.
You know, and it's like, I have an idea.
Why don't we fight against the thing that's causing all these problems anyway.
Climate change.
Why don't we work on that?
But by the way, apparently in the United States, we don't talk about anymore.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, it's like, where did that go?
I mean, anyone?
Anyone out there?
Yeah.
Do we not care anymore?
We just wanted to, you know, is that it?
We just want to destroy everything?
I don't know.
What would the, because I don't, you know, I've seen the Jurassic Park movies.
But I guess I'm not remembering very well.
Did they have a, like, a ride, a T-Rex section?
They got a great safari in the Dels I've talked about before.
And you could ride a camel there and some other things.
It's really amazing how big it is considering rights located in the Dels.
Yeah.
Is it one of these situations?
You could ride a, you know, Raptor.
I don't know.
You could feed the Raptor or something.
Sorry.
This is the way I view it.
So there's, in the original Jurassic Park movie, there's that part where they're going
into the visitor center.
And they're, like, looking out, you know, and trying to see something, and there's nothing
there.
So, they're, I'm sorry, I'm going to lose some people here, but, so there was a Rift
Racks of the movie with Mike Nelson and Weird Al.
Oh, wow.
And it's fantastic, by the way.
And at this point, we got, we got Weird Al going, is that a dinosaur?
Mike going, no.
Is that a dinosaur?
No.
Is that a dinosaur?
No.
Man, this park sucks.
That's what I would be getting.
It's like, yeah.
I'd be looking around and there's nothing.
They're all hiding or somewhere else, right?
That's, that's definitely what would happen because we've all been to the zoo where you're
going to see the animal in the end.
And they're all sleeping down.
Yeah.
That's definitely what would happen to me.
You, you had me both.
All the dinosaurs are out sleeping.
I'm trying to, I feel like this is one of those things that would be very, not only obviously
insane to pull off.
You can't actually do it and everything, but it would lose.
I think if you even did actually have a real Jurassic world and all that stuff and everything,
I don't even know how popular it'd be.
I generally don't know how popular it'd be.
Our whole lifetime, Seth, we had alien movies and UFO movies and all this, right?
Government comes out, says it's real.
Nobody cared.
Nobody cared.
There are, there are, you know, the sheep story got some news some years.
Oh man, back in the 90s, when they cloned Dolly, right?
The sheep.
Yeah, that was a bad, but I mean, that was, that was 24 hour news.
It was in and out.
Yeah, there was the, the clone panic.
Let's see, how many panics have been going on since we, well, that's been a lot.
Wow, I just realized that.
But anyway, I don't know.
The dinosaur panic is not a bonus yet.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
We'll see, we'll see.
Jurassic Park turns 32 next month.
It hits theaters nationwide on June 11th.
The new one that is, or it hits theaters on June 11th, but the new one will be coming out
in July, I believe.
There's one thing I hope they do bring back, though, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
the giant one will be mammoth just so we can be like Fred Flintstone and have that giant
racquet ribs that he always had at the beginning.
Yes.
Yes.
Um, I want a giant racquet ribs just because of that.
The only reason why.
Um, uh, and, and have Ray Romano voice it.
Yes.
Yes.
We'll be back with more show.
Morty show at W.F.H.O.

Let me check out the great lineup, by the way, that they have there too on the website.
Yeah.
It's just going to say extra points for local bands.
Ah.
Imagine those.
Yeah.
So here's some interesting stuff.
A Jersey Mike's employee in Florida helped rescue a woman who was being held against her
will last week.
Eleanor.
Eleanor Coffee found a crumpled up piece of paper in a bathroom last Tuesday that looked
in the trash and it said, help me on it.
It was an address on it and asked whoever found it to please call the cops.
Eleanor and her manager immediately called 9-1-1.
He showed up at the address and rescued the woman and arrested the person who was holding
her.
Wow.
They say he had at least two domestic violence charges against him and my goodness how
badly that story could have gone and it was already rough enough.
It was, but that's amazing.
That is amazing.
Wow.
And I don't care if this is a stretch or not.
This is treat people in retail better.
Treat them better.
Everybody that means paying them better and that means treat us as customers treating
them.
100%.
That's back.
Helped catch a hit and run driver in New Jersey the other day.
A guy in a gray accord hit a parked car and sped off, but a guy riding on his horse saw
it happen and chased after him.
Got it.
It's horse.
He got a partial license plate number and it was enough for the police to track the guy
down.
A real life cowboy.
How about that?
Nice.
As part of his sentence, he has to tell everybody in prison how he got caught by a guy in
a horse.
He has to.
Right?
I mean, I would make him do that.
Yeah.
I don't even know if I'd be ashamed of that.
I don't even know.
I'd just be kind of a cool story.
Yeah.
Just throw your hands up.
I'm like, what am I going to do?
I mean, look.
Sometimes they're the better man.
Sometimes, you know.
The car.
Man in the horse.
No, don't.
No.
And another study.
Yet another one of these Seth found having a dog early in life can make kids healthier.
Oh.
Specifically, kids prone to eczema are less likely to develop it if they're
there's a dog in the home when they're a baby.
Really?
Experts think being exposed to all those microbes your dog brings in might help train their
immune system.
Other studies have found having a pet early on might lower your kids risk of allergies
and asthma.
Wow.
Along with, of course, certainly many studies that are going on since we were kids about
how much more empathy this can create in children at a young age.
They're certainly sparking interest in the animals world, whether it's being a farmer
or being a vet or any of these things.
But the data is showing more and more why this is it.
I think we're getting, I know that the rise of dog culture and a lot of this stuff has
been quite a thing.
And I'm not saying that every household is going to have a dog.
But I think we're only getting more and more into that world where dog and man, dog
and domesticated animal are just much more connected, are much more, you know, looking
out for each other, working with each other and everything because dogs are, we're only
giving dogs more jobs.
Yeah.
In the last 20 years, we've added on to that job, that job title or the dogs do this, this,
this along with, of course, the key nine units and so many of those other things.
And we have seen and I talk about this a lot.
Look at the cities and the states that have risen in population in the last 20 years.
Every single one of them have a theme.
They're all animal friendly animal friendly.
This is no longer about being a part of an organization or a cause or anything like
this.
This is where society has gone.
Right.
This is a, this is like, if you're pushing against this, you might as well try to push against
recycling.
Good luck.
You know, there's no going back, there's no putting the genie back in there.
So that's quite interesting.
Sometimes when you take things for granted, it's not necessarily a bad thing.
You know, it's just kind of the way society has gone.
Yeah.
Like you said.
And again, a quick reminder to everybody out there, keep on listening just a little bit
here.
A minute, less than a minute from now, you're going to have opportunities to be able
to hear the 11 o'clock hour word and then the two and four o'clock hour words for civic
media's scotties summer text to win contest.
Yes.
Exciting.
Big thank you.
I already had a rapids winner.
We did earlier this week.
We had someone from Rapids win.
So that might be you.
You next.
So make sure you're listening.
Keep on listening.
Everybody to get a big thank you to all of our sponsors, our sales team, our partners
out there.
And of course, all of you, the best listeners and radio making this show and all of our
other content.
So good.
Seth, have a great weekend.
You too.
You're the best, everyone.
