Good morning, Wisconsin. Morning, world. It's a new day, and thanks for kicking it off
with us at WFHR.
Got your host, James behind the mic. Join by our Head of News, our co-host, Melissa
K. Good morning. Head of production and co-host, Seth
Habagger. Good morning, and the best listeners and radio. Thanks for joining us, everybody.
Hope you all are having a great day out there. Let's kick things off the way we like to
with our friend, Brent Inverloat. Talking a little about the nature. Good morning, Brett.
Good morning. How's it going?
Good over here. How are you doing over there?
Pretty good, because Mother Nature is, you know, just beautiful. It's a little cloudy here,
but it's nice out. It'll get better. It'll get better.
It'll be like a barefoot, alluding shorts kind of day.
Sounds good, nice. Yeah, you're going to need the sunglasses. Highs will reach the mid-80s.
You will see more and more sunshine, but of course, areas of wildfire smoke start to sneak
in later tonight once again. Keep that in mind. Otherwise, chances of showers and storms.
I think that they're going to stay less tonight. I think they're going to start to move
in overnight, probably around midnight or so. Then a few of those could linger early
tomorrow morning. A lot more cloud cover out there tomorrow. Highs in the low 70s with
more showers and storms, especially in the afternoon. Some of those could get heavy
at night and into Friday, too. We'll keep them around that, but enjoy the sunshine today
while it peeks out, because it's definitely not going to be around very much tomorrow,
Friday, or even Saturday.
When it comes to Thursday, Friday, Saturday, we've got some big events in the area, including
Bluegrass at the lake over at Lake Visita going on. We're going to have some spots of sunshine
throughout the days as it looked like, or just pretty much none. It's been pretty hard
to tell. Sure, sure. What day is that? Is that Friday or Saturday more? Thursday, Friday
and Saturday. Oh, every single one of them. The timing isn't perfect. We've got multiple
low-pressure systems lined up hitting the state. What I think is going to happen is
more of last to night, central overnight, than it kind of stays south through tomorrow
morning, but then tomorrow afternoon it works to lift back to the central area. I think
tomorrow afternoon we could see chances of rain again, maybe leaving by night as it moves
even further north, but then we've got more, a little bit heavier rain in storms possible
for Friday night. Friday night looking kind of so sloppy. Good to know. Thank you for
that. I appreciate you. So bring your umbrellas on Fridays, when I'm hearing. Yeah, it's
good. Yeah, you still enjoy the music. Dancing in the rain, I love it. I mean, I was going
to say I think actually Bluegrass in this kind of setting might be perfect actually. I mean,
there's, you know, the woodstock. Exactly. Yeah, there's not anybody. We appreciate you,
Brett. You have a good morning. You two things. Thanks, Brett me. Best in the business right
there. Brittany Marlowe joining us every morning, right in this time slot. Melissa said
that I'm going to hang in some fun this morning. We got the alcafe, birthday and anniversary
club and just a little bit. We will also be getting into an interesting way to get rid
of migraines. I did not pre-read that one as old. This could be good and important information
for you. Yeah, yeah. Got the 10 least common jobs in America. We'll get into that. Kick
off the 10 o'clock hour, some entertainment news, including a sequel that I am dying to
talk about with you guys. Got a kiss biopic we have to talk about for some very interesting
reasons. And the best TV dads of all time. We will debate. We will have a discussion.
And we want audience participation. Yes. A gear up for Father's Day this weekend and
everything. I thought that'd be a fun one to get into. We'll also get into our WFHR newsletter.
I want to talk about that. And tickling. Now, I know this is a very controversial topic,
but we do not shy away from things around here. We will discuss tickling. What is it? Why
is it so much? Do you enjoy it or not? So much more. All that coming up for you. But
right now I have stories. Oh, good. I got one. That's it. But I think you got multiple.
That's even better. We'll be getting into that in the 10 o'clock hour. For right now,
so a Chinese newspaper called Beijing Youth Daily did a story on how young people in
China are paid $5 a day to pretend they have a job. You go to a shared office, but don't
do any actual work. It's all a ruse. So you don't have to tell your friends and family
you're unemployed. It's very embarrassing. The job is this is where in China. Oh, that
makes total sense. Right. Right. Okay. The jobless rate in China is only 5%, but youth unemployment
is more like 17%. Not everyone is pretending. A lot of the customers are just people who
freelance and need a co-working space. But for ones who don't, you're paying for a desk
Wi-Fi coffee, the theatrix of it. Got it. But if you don't have a job, where are you
getting the money from to pay for the space that you're renting to? That's a good question.
They'll assign you fake tasks. So if anyone asks what you do at work today, maybe you just
show them an email that says they just put they put me on this big project. So I'm
buried in paperwork. I love that idea. I love it. Oh my gosh. Some places even have fake
bosses and you can pay extra for fake fights with them. Like maybe they're rude in an
email so you reply, you know, I don't need this job. I want to work at that place. It sounds
like fun. Yes. And it sounds like most customers use their time to search for real jobs, but it's
become a long-term strategy for some. I don't, it doesn't sound like that's a high percentage. No.
One woman who's been doing it for months said it's cheaper than sitting at a coffee shop all day.
Well, that makes sense. That does make sense. Yeah. So I believe that they do this in China. They
may do it in Japan or I may have these mixed up and I greatly apologize with everything I am if
I'm getting this wrong, which country this is. But there is a thing that they brought over here
to the States. The tech world did where the big insult over there is it not getting fired,
but getting, you know, I'm still going to pay you, but you come in every day and you sit at your
desk and do nothing. Yeah. And all your coworkers and everybody you work with and your family and
everybody else, you live with this shame. Right. So you're still getting a paycheck technically,
but you will never advance. You'll never get any farther. And you can't even in some situations,
you can't even look for other work. Like you're stuck there. And that is the shame that you have
to live with because that is that is worse than unemployment is the idea of being being being paid
for a job to do nothing. Yeah. And so I think that there's a little bit of that to it. There's also
the idea of the shame involved with not having a job and everything. Now think about this here
in the States a little bit. Anybody out there has ever felt this because I think this is a pretty
universal feeling for human beings no matter where you're from. The idea of maybe not making a big
and a paycheck or just having a paycheck. And the different moments in life that you can feel
shameful about that. But we don't I don't know. There is a shame involved here in the States with
it. But it's more like self-inflicted I feel. Sometimes. Unless you're fired for cause. Oh yeah. Yeah.
But I'm just talking about being unemployed. Okay. The idea of being unemployed. And obviously
varies from different person to different person. And there is some. And the reasons why. Yeah. Yeah.
But but the idea of feeling ashamed about it, we tend to do that to ourselves. We don't tend to
have a lot of it's a lot of things in society doing that. Although there is some stuff here
but it's not like this where it's a complete cultural thing. 100% of the culture is going to do
this kind of thing. So having that context I feel like this story like I don't I don't know that
it makes any more sense. But you kind of get where they're where it comes. Yeah. We we talk about
this a lot in our the three of us talk about this a lot. Let alone as a society and everything.
You know, you can't take it with you. You can't take that over time with you. Nobody's
on their deathbed wishing that they had more over time. Some of these kind of things. And we
think of ourselves. Wow. We really got to lighten up as Americans. Oh, we work so hard as
Americans. And you look at what they're doing. Like in China and the way that they work is it's not
it's not just your personality and it's not just who you are. It's so much more than that. Right.
Um, I think I don't know. I think it's important to kind of look at these things and take it step
back sometimes. Well, and I think it's funny. You know, you read the headline and everyone
we're like, what? What? But then you get into it. And you get you know, dig in a little
adept. You're like, actually, that kind of makes a little bit of sense. No considering. Yeah.
Well, looking at the cultural differences over there, how much more they review their elders,
how much more important family is. How much more important it is to be proud of the of the work
you're doing and the job you're doing and retain that job. Right. Honor. Honor. Yes. Yeah.
That is not the way things are here. No, that's that is very true.
That's for good or bad. You know, life is just different. Right. Yeah. There's good and bad in both.
Yeah. That's right. For me, um, if I was doing this, I would still be working as an actor
because I would be acting this up so hard. Oh, yeah. So dramatic. And at the end of every day,
you'd be so exhausted. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Work so hard. That was a hard day of work.
Tonya. That was rough. Oh, it is. It is. Yeah. Yeah. Especially if you have to portray a lot of
emotion. I would be so nickcaging this. Like if you're, if you're having fights with your boss
every day, my god, I'd be paying the extra. I would you pay the extra? Yeah. I would develop.
Yeah. You got to have some entertainment for my 10 a.m. conflict. Let's go.
I love that. I love that. I also love this story. And this is becoming quite a theme for us here
in Wisconsin. Now we are all used to deer and deer, um, you know, having to keep an eye out for
deer or just turkeys or anything. Yeah. Any wildlife. Uh, I will never get this will never get old
to me. I was just driving down. I think it was Rosencrantz the other day. And, um, there's a car
pulled over and they got their lights on. And I always looked to see if they need help or something.
And it's either they need their tire. They need help or a turtle. And it was a turtle. And this
was a gigantic turtle just sitting there on the side and everything. I don't, I didn't get a good
look already. Yeah. As soon as I saw it was a turtle. I'm like, okay, they got this. There was a
young lady out there with her dad. It looked like her dad. Um, that we're waiting for the traffic
to go by so they could go get the turtle out. That just, you know, shout out to people.
Oh, this is the time of year that they are crossing to try to find their nesting spots. And,
yeah, the more help that we can give them. But take them the direction they're going. Don't take
them back. Yeah. Because they'll just go back across again. I think we've even gotten used to
stories of deer showing, you know, just going through buildings and department stores. Uh, for a
while there. I think Carl and I had like a month, like for like a month almost every day we had a
story of a deer. And it was always the, the kind of department stores or whatever where the doors
just automatically open. Yeah. Convenient stores and deer walks in just walks right in. Uh,
they don't check to see if they got his size. Yeah, right. I kept moving on in a taco. Well,
then Salt Lake, man, then there's this one animal control officers and Milwaukee experienced a
unique situation when they were called to round up nearly 200, 200 pound sheep wandering loose in
the city. I didn't know they made them that that's a big sheep. Wow. The Milwaukee area domestic
animal control commission said local police received a report of a sheep on the lamb. Uh, oh,
no. Oh, no. Oh, I love it. I love it. I love it. So proud of ruined ruin my day. Oh, I had to get
that. The sheep was located around 23rd and Rogers and was a little loaded into a transport van.
Quote, we were, we were going to put him inside our facility and then we got here and we realized
he was way too big to go inside, said Katie Harland, uh, charged at the things. She said the
organization created an outdoor space for nearly 200 pounds for the 200, the nearly 200 pound sheep
and said about helping the animal to cool down with shade and water. Uh, he was booking it, uh,
said the officer, uh, even the officer who brought him in said he was really running down the
forest home. So he was, uh, panting. The sheep is now being fostered by the Ozook, uh, county farm.
Heartland said that the farm has offered to adopt the sheep if its owner can't be found.
So either way this sheep is going to have a home. Um, I'm a little disappointed then. I cannot
find a picture. Oh, wait a minute. Here we go. Here we go. Here's a video of it. So I'm just going
to try to show you guys a quick shot of this sheep here. Cause I mean, that's a regular like van
that you see transit van. Yeah, transit van. Yeah. Construction. Uh, um, what am I trying to say?
I'm having trouble with videos today. There we go. Oh, that's a sheep. That's a big sheep.
Big healthy. I think that that's kind of, uh, not, that's a normal size for a sheep, isn't it? No,
a full grown sheep. No, no, no, no, I disagree. That's bigger than normal. All right. We're going to
look this up. I, uh, I'm a little curious about that. I, so I admit heartily that I am more of a
goat person than, uh, than most other farm animals and everything. All right. But, uh, for a lot of
people seem to think the goats are a little like creepier, weird or whatever. I've always thought
that about sheep. Like, and not so much when you're just looking at them, but look at their face
what's like, you've never seen a happy sheep. The, the, the, the, don't seem like they're very happy
animals. Oh, is there a moody or something? I don't know. It depends on the breed, but males can
be 99 to 350 pounds and females can be 99 to 220 pounds. Wow. That's still on the higher end,
I would say. So yes, higher end, if it was a female. I suppose if my job was just, you know,
growing my, my hair out and then having it shaved every couple of days or something. I don't know
how, I don't know if I'd like to. And occasionally. So yeah, that's, there's that too. But yeah,
it's like that. That would definitely affect my mood. We'll take time out. We'll come back with
the Elcafe birthday anniversary club. It is Melissa, Seth and James here on the morning show at WFHR.
Time to do some celebrate with our good friends over at Elcafe in the birthday and
anniversary club. We encourage you to treat yourself. Get on over there today. They're wide open,

Everybody. And of course, you can see updates on their specials. They got this Greek chicken
breast. That sounds really good. You're very intrigued by that. I am. I am. I like Greek food.

show of the week, right? Yeah, Melissa, I need a one or a two. A one or a two? A one number. I choose one.
All right, give us a call. We brought two lords. Well, compression there. I don't know where that came from.
I don't know where that came from. I don't even know who got other than you. I don't know who got
that reference. We wish a very happy birthday to Ron Gaws. Happy birthday, Ron. Happy birthday, Ron.
Enjoy the day, sir. Hope it's a good one for you, Ron. Enjoy. And our qualifiers today
celebrate in their 59th anniversary. Tom and Darlene Bach. Tom and Darlene, we have the
anniversary. The anniversary to you. Oh, I'm glad I picked them. Yes, sorry Ron, but I'm glad I picked
them. That's good. We appreciate you guys sharing these with us and letting us be able to celebrate
with you guys over there. We appreciate you. Who are you sharing your birthdays and anniversaries
with? Shilabuff is 39. Shilabuff. Sounds like a fake name. It really does. It really does.
But have you seen the video of the song with his name in it? I know I did a long time ago.
It's so funny. I don't think I have a mind. Really? Oh my gosh, I'll find it for you.
I'm curious to see what happens with his career because he's got the talent. Nobody has ever
questioned his talent. Nobody has ever said anything about him as an actor. It's all off the
field stuff with him and seeing where he goes. He's 39. He's still so young. And he's again,
he's still and he's still getting work. Like it's a lot of independent work. It's a lot of like
you're not seeing him in blockbusters or anything. But it's just a matter of time before somebody
a director gives him another chance. I'm sure. And in something we'll go over there.
Joshua Jackson is 47. Dawson's Creek. Fringe. The affair. He's been in a couple of things.
Oh, that's right. Yes. Wow. So this is one of my, I think one of the better actors
there is out there. And I think it was I think Laura and I were talking about this. Game of Thrones
a little bit. And I really I watched it for my sister because she loved the show. And I kind
of got into it a little bit. But I mainly just watched it because there was a couple of actors
I really, really liked watching. And I wanted to see what happened with their characters. And I
think maybe in that show's history, I think the best actor from start to end was Peter Dinklage,
who is 56 today. I've always enjoyed his work. And I've always thought he was a really,
really strong actor. I never dreamed that we would be able to see him in the amount of different
roles we have and opportunities we have. What he is doing and what we're witnessing right now with
that is game changing. And hopefully, hopefully, game changing, I should say. And hopefully,
sets things in a different direction for people of his size and going forward. I also the,
that the amount of respect and pay and some of those things that even in 2025 are still not
happening enough. He is really at the forefront a lot of that. And again, one of the most talented
actors you'll ever see. Like he's so good. Right. Yeah. Right. And it's funny that this is something
that happens with basically every single minority group. Yeah. In entertainment, they're given
like specific roles at one point. So there's work. But it's a very narrow, you know, they can only
do. They're pigeonholed in certain things. And then as society goes along, they realize,
hey, these are talented people. We should do them in other roles. And it goes that way probably
one of the last groups to get this was the was little people to be able to do just regular roles.
Yeah. And not be, you know, oh, we need a little person, you know, for whatever kind of thing. So,
yeah, he's good. And again, 56 still pretty young stuff. As a guy, yep. Yeah. Right. Good point.
I don't know why, but I love that these two share a birthday together. Peter Dinklage and Hugh
Laurie. Hugh Laurie is 66. I love Hugh Laurie. I want them. I'm like so fantastic. Those two
should work together, right? It seems like that'd be a really good pair. Yeah. It seems like it'd
been really good. House V. He was in the Hulu mini series, Catch 22. Certainly House is probably
what most people know him for. But he was really good on V. V. is a criminally underrated show,
especially in today's day and age. He's also an amazing jazz musician. Yeah. He's really
several albums. In fact, he released a blues album was really good. I would have to shout out,
though, the early stuff he did, a bit of fry and Laurie with Stephen Fry. Yeah. That stuff is
so funny. Oh, even now it's hilarious. It's interesting. Stephen Fry has had a really nice
career. But when that show was really coming to an end, it was really at its peak. Most people
thought Stephen Fry was going to be the one with a big, big career and everything. He's had a
nice career, but the Hulu Warriors career has been really pretty, pretty big. Yeah. Also a Hulu
Warriors wonderful on SNL. Wonderful on SNL. Oh, I bet. Well, this is a great one. He's a sketch
comedy, a veteran, a sketch comedy veteran. I understand that statistically and everything,
it sounds a little insane for me to say this maybe, but for me and many people I think of our age
range, the goat, the greatest quarterback of all time, Joe Montana is 69. Wow. Joe never lost
the Super Bowl. He may not have as many as Tom Brady, but he'd never lost one. That's true.
And one of them. And a game from my life, game winning drive. It's for my life. And I have to
choose a quarterback. It is Joe Montana. I didn't even think twice about it. Man had ice water
in his veins. Even right now, I might take Joe Montana over Tom Brady. 69. Yes, at the radius.
And it's nothing. Tom Brady's amazing. Tom Brady's in a fantastic quarterback. It's nothing
against him. It's just I grew up. I think if you grew up not seeing Montana, I have no,
I could see why you would think that. But if you actually got to see Montana play, Tom Brady never
got me like excited. I never, I never got excited about Tom Brady. I again, respected his game.
I can think of even in Kansas City times when Joe Montana got me moving and got me into the game
and just the way he, the confidence that he played that position with. It was, I still don't know
if I've seen anybody that has really done that. And he did it in such an easy going way. You
know what I'm saying? He was not. And I'm sure his intensity was just in a different way.
But you never saw him like trying to like he was like super intense. He always seemed to be,
you know, like, yeah, no, this is cool. Yeah, I got this kind of thing. He was very cool about it as
well. Best one of the best football stores you'll ever hear. They're marching down the field trying
to a game winning drive. Time is running off the clock. They're behind. It's the Super Bowl. It's
the biggest game of any of their lives. And everybody is nervous. And the huddle Joe gets in there.
They're looking at him. They're waiting for the play. And Joe is just like a little kid. Did you
guys see John Candys over there? Oh my god. John Candys over there, you guys. I got to talk to,
I got to figure out a way to talk to him after the game and all this. And just completely calmed
everybody's nerves. Ice water in his veins. Frank Beard is 76 today. ZZ top drummer. Fantastic
drummer. And yes, we have to say it. The one guy without a beard and ZZ time. His name was
beer. Yes. Yes. Good drummer. Good drummer. Tight combo. They were really good. Yeah.
And as far as people no longer with us, they great the wonderful Gene Wilder, one of the
St. 1933 Pestway in 2026. I think at this point in the game, everybody, you know, most everybody
love Gene Wilder. Talks highly of him. You ever taken a step back and Willy Wonka,
stir crazy, silver streak, blazing saddles, young Frankenstein. There are no weak links. He did
a movie with his wife. The only time that they really got to do anything together that I guess
you can consider it wasn't necessarily a hit. But if you watch that movie, good luck not laughing
and not loving the chemistry between Gene Wilder and his wonderful wife. I don't know. I don't
know if I could ever talk enough about Gene Wilder and what he did for me as a young kid. And
seeing somebody that looked like him, being so darn loved and respected, it's not just the talent.
It's the way the people responded to him. And as great of an actor as he was in everything,
I think the greatest stuff he really did was after the passing of Guilder Radner and his wife.
And how much he was vulnerable and honest with people about that. Even when he went away from
the public eye for a while when he came back, it was sporadically and it was by a certain choices
in everything. Yeah, he didn't do a lot after that. Incredibly, incredibly smart career and an
incredibly smart comedian. There are certain actors, performers that have a certain warmth to them.
No matter how zany the character they're doing, he does a pretty crazy zany things on the screen,
right? But he always exuded this warmth that I think it's hard to do to be able to do that
consistently. And I think of actors that have really good careers who people think of very fondly,
like almost like you. They could have been your friend kind of thing like that. I think of
Gene Wilder's one of Peter Sellers was one of those guys who they were funny, very talented,
but they also seemed human in a certain way. Jack Black is another example of that.
And here's a quote from Gene Wilder that I just want to share. Well, you know, success is a
terrible thing and a wonderful thing. If you can enjoy it, it's wonderful. If it starts eating
away at you and they're waiting for more from me or what can I do to top this, then you're in trouble.
Something's not me struggled with too. Yeah, that was from 2016, so it was.
Oh, wow. Oh, that's a really good one. I heard that one. He's got some nice ones. And yeah,
I will be doing lines from Gene Wilder movies the rest of my life, no matter what happens,
no matter what you hear, do not open this door. There may not be a scene. I have impersonated more
than that scene in my life. And having my poor little sister standing literally on the other side
of a door so that she could do it. Oh, yeah. I love it. I love you, beans. I love you. Thank you,
Jill. And thank you to Gene Wilder. And to all of you that got us birthdays and anniversaries.
Yeah, I appreciate it. You guys thank so much for giving them to us. Fantastic. We'll get to our
news. Sports and partner break. We'll come back and we're talking. What do they have for us here?
Oh, yeah. How do you get rid of migraines? We're going to talk about that. We get back on the
morning show. Welcome back, everybody. Morning show here at WFHR. Locally grown radio Melissa
Seth and James hanging out with you. Hope you're having a great day out there. Our next segment
when we come back we'll get into the 10 least common jobs in America. It should be interesting.
Yeah. Right now, I am currently dealing with a World War III migraine between my brain. That
is nothing new. I'm pretty used to that. And I think the audience is by now and I know our team is.
But this is new to me. This is. I can go to McDonald's and order a migraine meal.
What? Like it's going to give you one? According to the internet. And that's a great question, Melissa.
So this sounds like a weird commercial, but neurologists are confirming it could help you in the
moment. According to the internet, the famous migraine meal from McDonald's is supposed to help with
the migraine. And it is a large coke, a large fry, and that's it. Sodium and sugar. And caffeine.
Yep. Here's why I could work for you. There are 80 milligrams of caffeine in a large coke from
McDonald's. Caffeine has pain relief properties, which is why the most common migraine medicine
et cetera, and has caffeine in it. That's right. Open the blood vessels. And then there's the
saltiness of the fries. The salt should help balance your electrolytes. Yep. And the carbs
can help blood sugar levels.
Problem solved. Yes. Now you're welcome. I will be the first to tell you. Again,
no shock to anybody out there. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Now there are.
Right. But it can. So this doesn't necessarily cure it for me, but boy, does it ease it?
It takes it from a 10 to a 6. Like it does make it tolerable. It's a migraine meal.
Well, doing this version of this. Oh, I see what you're saying.
Yeah. Caffeine and salt, basically. I've had people including my son who graduated from
University of Minnesota in neurology. I don't know if I've mentioned that. I talked with
them. I talked with people that are much smarter than me about the brain and how they
counter these things. And I've heard similar versions of a recipe for lack of a better way to put
it like this. I've never heard of a brand attached to it or anything like that.
Well, McDonald's would jump on that. I mean, they do need some positive press about
the effects of their food. Well said. A neurologist named Dr. Matthew Robbins,
summed it up. He said, we know migraines are associated with worse cardiovascular health.
And having a fatty meal with a big caffeinated soda is not really good for you in general.
If someone finds that they improve from this hack, that's great for them. But if they're using it
all the time. Yeah. Which is a real problem considering migraines are pretty consistent.
Most people that deal with them deal with them on a consistent basis. Not only is it not a one-size-fits-all
approach, or it is that, but it's not even something that you can use all the time,
which is very similar to et cetera or anything else. There's no medication that you really should
like a medication like this over the counter that is that really you should be taking consistently
all the time. Without the advice of a doctor or health care professional. We know that a lot of
pills and pain relievers do have, can do a number on your liver. So that's something that's
because it's processed through there. So something keep in mind. I do think, and I guess I don't
know that they're calling it internet famous, the quote, migraine meal. I think businesses should
do things like this more. I think more fast food places should try to have meals that are
specifically four things. Now you're really narrowing your market. A happy meal is for all kids.
A migraine meal is for just people that are old. But to me, what Melissa was hitting on there,
I think is kind of where I wanted to get to. You just got there quicker. I like the way you went
there with that. Not only could they use the good PR? Who couldn't? Who couldn't use good PR right now?
I just off the top of my head, I would think that Culver's is one of the better branded businesses
out there. But it wouldn't hurt. It wouldn't hurt to, you know, we're doing this to kind of help
the people with this or something. And not even saying just necessarily migraines, but whatever it
might be. Well, sometimes the hardest thing and granted at a fast food restaurant, it's easier
because you're not making it. But sometimes the hardest thing to choose is what am I going to eat?
And now why wouldn't fast food restaurants jump on this as a, okay, we're going to offer this
things already on their menu. Right. But different combinations. Okay, this is the migraine meal.
This is the keto meal. This is the paleo meal. You know, because people go through these diet
fads and not they're not fads for all people, but for some they are. You know, they jump on the,
all right, no, this is the Atkins meal. And then, and then, you know, the thing that
every single fast food restaurant has gotten wrong is they need cabbage. The only ones who do it
are KFC and maybe barbecue places. Because of the cold slot. Yeah, the cold slot. Right, right.
Why don't they have cabbage? It keeps forever. Okay. It's great diet food. Okay. Okay.
And then that would be the diet meal. Because no one's going to go to a restaurant and order
cabbage molasses. I would. I would. I would. Any, any place that has colsa, I order it.
Because I love colsa. I love cabbage. Cabbage is amazing. And everyone should offer it. It's also
a great replacement for lettuce on sandwiches. It's crunchier. It gives you that nice crisp thing.
And it keeps longer. The, the chairman of the cabbage council. A pair that we have here now. So,
happy to be the chairperson of the cabbage council. And to be fair, molasses kind of teeing me
up here a little bit because we've got a new business venture of the cabbage patch.
It's going to be a food truck. No babies. No, no kids are served. We will serve kids. We will serve kids.
We're not going to serve kids. Yeah, right. Just so everybody's clear, it's a business that,
you know, what we're tinkering with. We're still kind of working on the pilot name. Like,
we're still working on that. I don't know. Probably should go to break. We're going to go to break.
Cabbage garden. Cabbage garden is much better. We will come back and we're going to talk about
the 10 least common jobs in the states coming up on the morning show at WFHR.
Welcome back everybody. Morning show on WFHR.
Melissa, Seth and James hanging out with you. We hope you're having a good one out there.
People talk about the most common jobs in America. We've covered that topic a number of times
in a number of different ways. The industries that are the most in demand and gigs that pay the
most pretty much covered all of those bases by now. But now there is a list of the least common
jobs in America. Here they are, along with the number of people employed in them and the average
salaries. Oh, interesting. So I do believe this is in, yes, it's in order. So you want to start
from top bottom, do you care? Top. Let's do the top down. So at number, so we're going to go from
the most to least. And number 10, pediatric surgeons, there are about 1,180 of them and they
average about 4,449,000 a year. Yeah, that makes us 400, 400,000. Yeah, that makes sense.
As they should. Yes, that's very delicate work. Delicate work small,
a lot smaller to work with in adult bodies, of course. So yeah, intense. Yes, because the weight
of getting it wrong or messed with that, I'm sure that that that stresses high. Yeah, industrial
psychologists, one thought there's about 1,030 of them and they make an average of 154,000 a year.
We probably need more of those. These are psychologists who focus on dynamics in the workplace.
Yes, which wow, that sounds like a growth opportunity there for considering all the
the push for more mental health. The complexity of the workplace. Yes,
these days and all the things that we have to deal with, right? Yeah, it makes sense. Dredge
operators. There's about 940 of them. They make about 53,000 a year. They remove sand, gravel
and stuff to evacuate and maintain navigation channels in waterways. Yes, they do. That doesn't
sound like they're making enough money. That's kind of a boring job. And it's noisy too. If you've
ever heard a drudge, drudger, they're very loud. Yeah, private cooks come in at number seven.
There's about 740 of them. They make about 49,000 a year. Okay. Wow, that's low.
Yeah, that doesn't seem like it should be higher than that. I would feel like if I'm just
focusing on just one place or whatever it is or whatever. Yeah, considering I'm guessing the people
that that that can afford to have a private job. You a lot more than that. Yeah.
Wood model makers. There's about 590 of them making about 52,000 a year. Wood model makers.
That's got to be a job of love. Yeah. Like you just want to make wood models. Wood models,
like models of what? Anything I guess. Cars? I don't know. That's a great question.
Okay. We're going to look that one up. Yeah, I was going to say somebody wanted to look that one
in the little window with that one. I'm curious of what the specifics are of that. I feel
it. And I also feel like it's one of those ones we're all going to go, oh, of course, that's what they do.
And it feels like it feels like it. At number five, a prostitutist. There's about 570 of them
making 240,000 a year. Oh, yeah. Perry Donnest. I think that's what it is. Yeah, Perry Donnest. Yeah,
you got it right. I was wrong. Oh, it's the people that make prosthetics. Yeah, the prosthetics
people. Yeah. Yeah. That's also very important. Or yes, it is. Yeah. And I'm sorry, Seth, this is
a prostitutist is a dentist who specializes in treating complex dental and facial. I was wrong.
No, I saw where you're going. Yeah, but totally wrong. You know, both are very important. Yes.
And I did not want to correct you, but I feel like our luck, there's somebody who does this job
out there and they're going to get away in a minute. Yeah, right, right. Furnace and kiln repair
technicians. That's about 540 of them making 49,000 a year kilns for pottery, right? Yeah, that's
what those are for. So yeah, there's not a there can't be a ton of those out there. I want a
BCR repairman. I wonder how many of those there are and how much they're making because I feel like
there's a company that you need to replace it. Actually, most high schools that have an art department
have a kiln, so that would make sense. So yeah, no, there's a lot of them out there.
Oh, yeah. Just not very many people to repair them. Right. And there's a there is for decades now.
There has been a thing of just people wanting to get into making clay and make our kiln working
and everything. And there's tons of like little just little classes and stuff. Maybe it's like
the old those old may take commercials that that kills don't break, you know, don't have issues
that often. So they just sit around waiting. That's why there's like 500 of them. It's like,
what is it going to happen? Those phone get a ring. Yeah, those commercials were fantastic.
Those were fantastic commercials. Let's see here. At number three, farm labor contractors,
460 of them in the in the country, making 51,000 a year. Okay.
So many things that could be said about that. Well, and it's interesting that I'm curious what
that role specifically entails. So what farm labor contractor. So I would think that they're
probably finding labor for right. Yeah. Yeah. Like a foreman maybe that's finding a team or something
like putting together. Yeah, maybe that's what it is. I think they're going to have a harder job
here very shortly. Oh, yeah. Yeah. We're making it a lot harder on our farmers right now.
They are individuals or companies who for a fee recruits illicit higher employee furnish and
transport migrant and seasonal agricultural workers. That's exactly what you said. Yeah. That
is going to be very difficult to fill. That is coming. If it isn't already, it's going to be.
I guess we'll find out this fall when the harvest start coming in. So yeah. Well, here,
all over the country. Right. Exactly. I mean, it's going to be interesting.
A wood model maker is a job to create accurate three-dimensional models of objects using wood
often for design purposes, product testing or architectural visualization.
Oh, okay. They make model. Yeah. Okay. All right. Models of other things. So you have a new product.
You know, and you say I need to design it as you go to the wood person to make the model of it
and then show it effort. Mark it up for me. There you go. It's kind of cool that with all the
PowerPoint presentations and all these different things that we have, we still have a lot of room
for that. Well, and I wonder if 3D printing is going to take over that with wood, you know,
and make it with the 3D printed. Yeah. That makes what I was thinking about this too. I would
love to be able to put this in a time capsule and 10 years, five years from now. Look at this list
again and see what the current would look like. And the current pay. Yeah. So that changes.
At number two, clock and timer precision technicians. There's about 400 of them with
making 52,000 a year. Wow. There used to be a clock repair shop in LaCrosse that I have
gone to a couple. They did clock repair and shoe repair. Because those are actually to
I was saying they similar or maybe they just maybe it's just that specific person. Yeah,
well, and it was a, I think it was a family owned business. Right. And they had to do more than
just clock repair. Otherwise, they would have been able to survive. Stay in business. And yeah.
So in fact, I still have the pair of shoes that they died for me. Nice. That they fixed. Yeah.
You cobbler. I love that. I also love the pun names. You could come up for a shop with that.
Like those two things going on. You come up with so many great names for a shop like that. That's
fantastic. Time travel. Ah, done. There you go. Got it. And they'll see that. That's done.
Wood pattern makers comes in at number one. There's only 260 people doing this in the country.
52,000 a year they're making. That is a, they specialize in creating wooden patterns used
in forming sand model molds for casting metal and other materials. That's cool. That's very
cool. A lot of jobs that working with wood. A lot of jobs working hand with your hands a lot.
Yeah. Have you guys seen that YouTuber that does the career ladder?
It's, I think it's in Europe somewhere. But no, he has a, he has a ladder and he's out in the street.
And people can climb up the career ladder and he has like two minutes to guess their, their career.
And so he asks them yes or no questions. Yeah. And if he can't figure it out at the end of the two
minutes, they have the option of just walking away and him never knowing or they can whisper to
the camera what their job is. Oh, wow. Yeah. It's kind of interesting. And people have a couple of
the videos I've seen where people like search him out because they know that their job is very hard
to figure out. Right. Yeah. And what they do. Yeah. People will go up to, we'll take the challenge.
I bet he'd have a tough time with us. I don't know that any, I don't know to be fair if I've
ever met anybody who necessarily, oh, they work in radio. I see that person, all that person works
in radio. I think ours would be a tough one to figure out. I'm sure he's got a system now where he's
asked certain questions first. And then he's got like a, like a list that he goes down to see and
then makes it. Yeah, because he narrows it down to like what type of job it is and just further and
further down. But yeah, no, more often we get, you don't look like you work in radio. Yeah. Yeah.
They don't sound like you look anything like you sound. Yeah. I think there's a handful of things
that are kind of, you know, write a passage in radio that, you know, you experience, I think maybe
the number one is when you meet somebody in the public and they see you and like, oh, you don't look
like you sound. Yeah. That's right. That's it. That's the one, man. You hear that? You've made it.
You have made it in this business. You have made it. One of the things that I wanted to talk about
is one of the things that is so much fun about this business is giving things away. Yes.
It's, it's so much fun and we're able to do that with friends at Civic Media and their Scotty
