Hot, Hot, Heat! (Hour 1)

Good morning, Wisconsin.

Morning, world.

Welcome to WFHR's Morning Show.

Your host, James Vine, the mic joined by our head of news, our co-host, Melissa K.

Good morning.

Head of production and co-host, Seth Habhacker.

Good morning.

We're here to have some fun, middle of the week on a Wednesday.

We got good things lined up for you.

Everybody we're going to be getting into too.

We're going to have the El Caffe birthday anniversary club and a little bit looking forward

to getting into that.

We have the top heat wave questions Americans are Google inner?

Google inner?

Okay.

Good thing.

I don't care if that's not a word.

I love it.

Just keep using it, man.

We're looking to that.

We have America's favorite city.

It might be surprising to some.

Okay.

Get in there.

There we go.

There we already got it done.

We'll get into the entertainment news at the top of the 10 o'clock hour, get some local

stuff.

Want to touch on there as well.

We'll also got a fun one lined up in the 10 o'clock.

What is a profession that was once highly respected, but now not as much?

Interesting.

And a great article that Melissa sent over about four day work weeks from his motto.

I want to get into that.

All right.

It just came out.

Yes.

Let's get back on it.

Love it.

You start off, we kick things off with accents.

Accents.

Oh, okay.

One of the more, I think, wonderful things about human beings.

Absolutely.

I generally mean that.

I think that accents are fun, they're different.

They can vary not only between country to country, from state to state, but even households.

That's true.

That's true.

I know growing up, I had an uncle that had a very stereotypical Chicago accent, and he

was the only one.

That's somehow.

He's the only one.

The only one.

I think one of the funnest things about accents is when you go to completely, like when

I went out to California, and I everybody knew I was not from California, like the moment

I talked.

And I never.

But once you realize you have a midwestern accent.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And while I moved around a lot to the point where when I first moved to a Wisconsin, my

S's and Z's, I said, very Chicago win.

And they thought I had a speech impediment.

So we were taking speech classes for it and stuff like this.

So many different things that accents do.

And they are.

And I think a fun thing is kind of looking at what our favorite ones are.

We've got a survey here.

Do you guys have an accent that is, it doesn't even have to be your favorite, but just one

that comes to mind when I bring up accents?

Yeah.

Actually, I have one, and it's a very distinctive one as a matter of fact.

Charleston, South Carolina has its own accent, and it's not a hard, it's not like Georgia,

like that really thick southern drawl kind of thing.

It's there, but it's a lot lighter and it almost sounds like an English accent.

And I think that is what like English people sounded like back, you know, 200, 250 years

ago, whatever it was, you know, when we're still a colony of England.

And that's kind of like, that's the closest to what the accent was back then.

I think.

No, I don't know if that's true or not, but it's a very melodic and very cool sounding

accent.

I love it.

People from Charleston talking.

It's a strong one too, where my aunt and uncle, when they moved out there, my cousin

lived with them for a first couple of months and everything.

And I call, we're talking on the phone, and I don't even recognize her because she's

already got the accent.

Yeah, that's a good one.

That's a good one.

I don't even thought of it until you say that.

Yeah, it's a fantastic accent.

Yeah, I love listening to people talk that have accents.

I have so many favorites, Scottish, Irish.

I can't do those, but of course, British, but Australian.

And when I was trying to talk with an Australian accent, I thought of it as an English accent

with a southern twang.

It's not a bad way of looking at it.

I like that.

Yeah, because it kind of is English, but it's also its own thing.

And it's just like us here in the Midwest, we have an accent, but if you head south, it's

still, you know, an American accent, but it's got a twang to it.

Right, right.

I love when I'm watching a TV show and it's an American TV show and they're speaking

English, but they still have to put like subtitles on it because nobody can understand.

And that could be a many, many different accent.

Right.

That are very hard to get, yes, exactly.

And so I wanted to start this from a world perspective, but now we zoom in a little

bit to our own United States and our favorite accents in the colonies here and everything.

And there's a new list of the most beloved, loved regional accents across America.

Okay.

And I think that it's not too surprising while at the same time, I think that it is a

little surprise.

It's got some surprises in it.

So we'll go through this list and it is in order.

So we'll start at 10.

How's that?

All right.

Start number 10.

The Philly accent, 20%, 20.2% love the Philadelphia accent.

Those 20% are from Philly.

No.

No, it's a, it's a your traditional Eastern, you know, East Coast accent, but not as hard

as like New York.

It's a little softer.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Or New Jersey for that matter, because it's just south of Jersey and all that.

So yeah.

To that point, and number nine, the statin island accent is at 21 point, yeah, which is

very New York.

Very New York.

It's so New York that other New Yorkers don't always understand people from statin

island.

It's so weird too.

Yeah.

Like every, almost all of the different burrows of New York have like a little variation

on their accent.

It's very strange.

It's like that in England too.

Yes.

Very true.

Yes.

Very true.

Yes.

The different areas.

And I love that there are people out there who can identify where you're from based on

that accent.

Yeah.

That fascinates me.

I love it.

Yeah.

That's cool.

No, that is one of the cooler.

Yes.

It's one of the funner and also difficult things about learning in English accent is when

you realize, oh, are you doing the right one?

Yeah.

Are you from Chestershire?

Are you from Wales?

Are you from Wales?

Oh, my gosh.

Wales.

Oh, my favorite.

My favorite's Manchester.

Manchester accent.

I love the Manchester accent.

Yes.

That's good.

Well, Welsh is really, really hard.

Oh, my gosh.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No.

That's good.

A, number eight, a tie between Louisiana accent and the New England accent at 22.6 percent.

Wow.

Those are very different from each other too.

Very different.

Louisiana.

Well, the Cajun accent from Louisiana.

I love that one.

Are you?

Yes.

A few accents.

You are more than that.

It's southern, but it's got a hard, I don't know what to call it though.

It's not even a twang.

No.

It's like a...

No.

It's hard to describe, but...

It's relaxed.

Yeah.

It flows.

There's definitely a rhythm to it.

Yeah.

It's musical.

Yeah.

It's a very musical accent.

Yeah.

I find that...

We'll get to this more in a moment, but...

Of course, New England.

Pepperidge Fah.

I remember this, you know, which is very clipped.

Very clipped.

Yes.

It feels like it's at...

Very clipped.

They edited the word.

They're like the breaths out or something.

It's staccato.

It is.

Oh yeah.

At seven, a tie between the Boston accent and the High Titer accent.

The High Titer accent?

The High Titer accent.

I'm curious.

Now, that is a sailor, I believe, the High Titer accent.

It's a dialect of American English spoken only to remote islands in Northern...

North Carolina's bank, Outer Banks.

Oh, really?

The High Titer accent is a vocabulary developed over hundreds of years as a result of the

area's isolation.

I don't know if I've ever heard that accent before.

I want to hear it now.

I'm curious.

Yeah.

I'm looking at that one.

I want to hear someone that's talking about working this...

That's from there, yeah.

I will see if I can get that in there and...

But we know Boston, right?

Yeah.

The old Southie accent, yeah.

Yeah.

The Khan, Hobbit, Yodd.

It's one of the...

By the Yodd.

It's a fun one to say.

It really is.

Yeah.

It is.

Number six, Appalachian accent.

Okay.

Yes.

That one's also musical.

That's the...

The Hillbilly accent.

I mean, that's not a nice way of calling it.

But that is what you'd think of, right?

Oh, yeah.

Mountain Dew kind of thing.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Number five, the main accent.

We hear that from Phil.

Phil Hardley.

Phil Hardley.

Mm-hmm.

Everybody comes out every now and then.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I have to say, he's acclimated quite well to the Midwest because I know he's lived here

for a while now.

Oh, yeah.

But still, every now and then, a little main will come out, which is fun.

And then at number three...

Oh, number four, sorry.

A tie between the Florida accent and the Pacific Northwest accent at 26.1%.

Literally two ends of the country.

A Florida accent.

I don't know.

It's probably...

It's...

I don't know what kind of a standard Southern accent.

It's probably close to Georgia.

Yeah.

I wouldn't...

That's...

In my experience, they're pretty similar.

So...

Mm-hmm.

But that's me.

And I guess I really didn't think Florida had a Southern accent.

Well, it depends on if you're native or not.

Right.

Because they have so many transplants, right?

Right.

It's such a melting pot.

Mm-hmm.

And a lot of...

Yep.

Like retirees and that kind of thing from New York and stuff.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

And at number three, the Mississippi accent, 27.3%.

That is a thick accent.

Yeah.

It is.

That one can be hard to decipher sometimes.

And at number one, the Long Island accent at 27.8% of people have a positive reaction to it.

The Long Island one?

Didn't see that coming.

Really?

I would have had...

Long Island.

Almost any Southern accent up at the top.

Right.

At the way at the top, I would have had.

I would have had this completely wrong.

Now, the Mississippi accent is up there, but I wouldn't have guessed that.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I apologize, everybody.

The Long Island accent is number two.

Oh.

Number two on the list.

Number two on the list.

Okay.

All right.

So the number one accent is the Southern Louisiana's Cajun accent.

Oh, it's the specifically Cajun.

Yes.

Oh, okay.

Nice.

Okay, there we go.

Again, I think we already covered that.

Yeah.

But it's very musical.

Yep.

They also listed the most attractive English-speaking celebrities, American and British.

The three most attractive males.

Theo James, the White Lotus, and I was in the gentleman and stuff.

Hugh Laurie.

Oh, that's Hugh Laurie.

They're talking about just their voices and the accent itself.

Right.

They look at the person and everything.

Although Hugh Laurie probably falls in both categories.

I don't know what it's like.

He's awesome.

Yeah.

He's got a great dialect.

His American accent was pretty good.

Although I did hear people say that the way he had to screw up his face to make it really bothered them.

He did these like twitches in his face because of it, but yeah.

Well, but that really fit with his character.

That's true.

That's very true.

And John Goodman.

John Goodman was in there.

And I just, I don't know.

Is a Midwesterner?

I love that.

I love that John Goodman makes the top three.

I would also view this into some of his voice overwork.

Again, I get to mention the Emperors new group.

Nicely done.

Nice.

He's got a great voice.

He's got a great voice.

I am not a fan of his voice.

Oh, yeah.

No, I love him as an actor.

Absolutely.

But whatever his voice is kind of just meant to me.

Brian Cranston, Eddie Murphy, Andy Circus, Tim Curry, Austin Butler, Ryan Reynolds, and Tom

Hiddleston also make the list.

Ooh.

So good ones on there.

Tim Curry is very distinctive.

Tom Hiddleston too.

Female-wise, Emma Watson, Sophia Bush, and Kate Bush all make the run.

Kate Bush.

Kate Bush, wow.

Yeah.

Well, her singing style is very different from most people.

So, yeah.

Emily Blunt, Scarlett Johansson, also make it.

Julie Andrews is in this list.

Ooh.

But nice.

And then I just, they're not in any order.

But Jennifer Tilly and Natasha Leon.

And two vastly different voices.

But two voices I love.

Love, love, love.

Jennifer Tilly, of course, had the high-pitched, like what I call a little girl voice.

Kind of thing, which I love.

I dearly love that voice.

Yeah, without trying to sound like that.

No, no, no.

That's just the way she sounds that way.

Yeah.

And Natasha Leon.

I mean, she's made a career out of that.

Not just her voice, certainly.

But her voice alone has gotten her great work.

In a great voice actor too.

She's got Scarlett Johansson, very distinctive way of speaking.

Yes, along with a very distinctive voice.

She's very one of a kind in that.

She is on the path of being one of the greats, Johansson.

Yeah, she really is.

Oh, and I had to look up Natasha Leon.

I like her a lot.

Yes.

Surprisingly, I really enjoyed Russian doll.

Oh, did you?

Okay.

My mom really liked it too.

Yeah.

She was trying to get me to watch it.

I haven't gotten a chance to.

Because I have no time.

But as she gave 8,000, there was a watch.

I heard that was a good one.

It was cool to get to hear.

What is your favorite accent?

Everybody let us know.

We'd love to hear from you.

I think that even if you just looked at Wisconsin.

Wisconsin.

You've got some different accent.

In the state, of course.

Yep.

But even up and down the state, I think that you have different accents.

And that's a fun part of it too.

I think it deserves to be in the running for great accents.

How about Canadian?

I like Canadian accent, eh?

Yeah.

Canadian accents.

We've heard for a, I think, in our childhood, some comedian said,

you know, horrible news has to happen.

You want to hear it from an English voice.

Because it just sounds so much kinder or whatever.

I've always felt that way about Canada.

Yeah.

We got to get bad news.

Like, let it come from the Canadian stuff.

It's just going to be charming.

It just sounds better.

Cheery stuff.

It'll be a little bit happier.

I don't make you smile.

Yeah.

There was a disaster today.

Oh.

It was really bad.

Let me tell you there.

Yeah.

It was something.

It was something there.

We will be right there.

But I'm holding my radiator there.

Be back with more show coming on.

Yeah.

And WFHR.

Time to do some celebrating with our great friends over at El Café,

the birthday and anniversary club.

We encourage you to treat yourself.

Get on over there today.

Two to and one market avenue and beautiful port Edwards.

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

Got some great specials over there.

You want to check out everybody.

Fantastic.

And you want to enjoy the air conditioning

because they've got it today.

Nice.

Going cool and eat pie.

What more could you want?

Yeah.

That'll cool you off.

It's not much more in life.

No.

No.

Nothing but a good time waiting for you over at El Café.

Head is over there today.

Everybody.

Can I get a rule that if it gets too,

at a certain temperature, everyone's going to stop working.

Yes.

Everyone stop.

Take a break.

Everyone.

Just rise a little bit.

I think that's a perfect idea.

We need to get that going.

We need to get that going right now.

But you don't really want to cook at home in these temperatures.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Well, go to El Café.

Mm-hmm.

Head on over there today.

I'm a good one from us.

And get us your birthdays and anniversaries.

We love celebrating with you.

Email us info at waffatre.com.

You can direct messages on our Facebook pages.

And you can call on up.

That's right.

Number is 715-424-2600.

Or just a touch or two away in the Civic Media app.

We look forward to hanging out with you.

Go ahead and join the conversation.

And we're not looking forward to it.

Let's go ahead and take a look at our list.

We got two possible qualifiers.

Melissa, I need a one or two.

Hmm.

One.

All right.

This isn't a qualifier.

First up, we want to wish a very happy birthday to Lou Newman.

Happy birthday, Lou.

Happy birthday, Lou.

Joy or day, sir.

Hope it's a good one for you.

Oh, great one.

Nice, nicely done.

And a very happy birthday to our qualifier, Anita Wusso.

Oh, Anita.

Oh, Anita.

Oh, yeah.

Annette.

Oh, Annette.

Annette Wusso.

I'm sorry.

I might just let you go.

Annette.

Happy birthday, Annette.

Happy birthday, Annette.

It's such a beautiful name.

And I'm down to the beach, Annette.

It's a beach blanket bingo.

You couldn't help yourself.

I just had to do it.

No, no.

Sorry.

Was I many Annettes anymore?

No, we've got to have fun with it.

Not many.

No, that's great name, though.

That's a great one.

Let's see that name come back.

Yeah, let me be a good one.

I'm with you.

Annette, you're our qualifier.

Thanks so much to everybody.

Everybody got us these birthdays and anniversaries.

We appreciate them, everybody.

We take a look at who you share your birthdays with.

Neil Perry from the band Perry is 35.

Okay.

Let's see here.

Oh, Daniel Radcliffe.

It's 36.

Harry Potter's 36.

Wow.

I can't believe that.

Pat made me guess this morning.

I said 29.

I think.

I can't believe he's 36.

You were so far.

Wow.

I mean, it's amazing.

It's amazing.

In the world of child actors and the history of child actors, I don't know that there is more

of a game changer than him.

And I don't mean just his acting talent.

He's very talented.

And he's only getting better.

It seems like as he gets older, he's been celebrated as an actor plenty, I think.

It's his off the field stuff.

It is his dedication to, you know, staying low-key and how it's about the art.

And when he's not working, he's with his friends, he's with his family, he doesn't really

care about pomp and circumstance or any of these things.

And the idea of that's one of the most recognizable actors and kids and characters in our lifetimes.

Right.

And no matter how old you are listening to us right now, that's.

That's there.

If you're 150, it still counts.

If you're five, it counts.

And he has broken that.

He's broken from that.

Yes.

There are a hundred roles I've seen him in since.

And I never even think about Harry Potter.

I never, you never even crosses my mind.

Markable achievements.

Yeah.

I cannot express how difficult it is for an actor to be able to break type and to be able

to break from a character, a good character.

Then there's a character that everybody knows, like even if you've never read our Saw

Harry Potter book.

You know who he is.

Yeah.

You know who he is.

You know what it is and everything.

And yet he's been able to break all that.

Mm-hmm.

Name me the actor that's done that.

I'll wait.

They're in it.

Like of all the great childhood.

And I'm that again, I'm not saying talent-wise, he's the greatest child actor of all time

or anything like that.

I think Shirley Temple would have some things to say.

There's a lot of greats, but like Miss Temple is great as she was, she never was able

to break away from that.

No.

But there's so many child actors that have their careers just end right there at puberty,

basically.

Or even just leave the business because they're sick of it, right?

Yeah.

Even before they become adults, right?

Yeah.

He also does this wonderful thing to the paparazzi where he always wears the same shirts out

because if they, everything in that business is new, new, new, new, new, new, yeah.

And if you're just getting, it doesn't look like it's a new picture of him, it's not

worth anything.

I think that's masterful.

He's like a textbook of how to handle like being an extremely world famous person as

a youngster.

And this is, he did a fantastic job.

Wow.

Maybe he could teach a masterclass.

Yeah.

And I don't know that he really, actually I don't know that he could because I don't

know this is something that he really set up to do.

That's true.

It's just happened for him in a lot of ways and a lot of hard work, of course.

He got to work instantly after Harry Potter.

Now a lot of people usually take time off or they want to have a break between them and

the character so that audiences can, he just hit the ground running.

He kind of did like theater right away.

Yeah, that was kind of, that was an interesting turn.

He was naked on stage or whatever.

The S-quit at the horse.

Equus.

Equus.

Yeah, that's what he did.

I have to recommend those Swiss army man.

If you want to watch a really weird movie.

It's such a good one.

It's such a good one.

It's such a good one.

It's such a good one.

It fits him so well though.

He's that kind of quirky actor for sure, for sure.

I wanted to reference the Miracle Workers.

It's a TV show that was on TBS, it ran for like four or five seasons.

It's just a fun little comedy.

It's got an amazing cast, Daniel Radcliffe, Steve Bussemi, and a couple of other actors

that are really, really good.

They play it like angels or something like that.

Yeah, yeah.

Each season is different.

Each season they change it up a little bit and everything.

That's great.

It's such great working.

It's him and Bussemi together is really good.

That's a really fun one.

Two quirky actors together.

That's great.

Michelle Williams from Destiny's Child is 46.

Wow.

Say yes, I think she had as a solo hit and she said some other ones.

Monica Lewinsky is 52.

In the history of comeback stories, which make no mistake about it.

That is something that America loves just as much as Apple Pie and baseball and everything

else.

We love a comeback story.

Monica Lewinsky's has been was unwritten before.

Nobody had made a comeback story like this young lady, this woman has a young lady.

52, I remember her as a young lady, so that's why I'm saying that.

But 52, she's older than me.

We have to remember seriously the absolute hell that she was put through by the media and

politicians for a young woman to be in an impossible situation.

And it was disgusting the way that she was treated.

It was absolutely disgusting.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Monica Lewinsky has done an amazing job.

There's nothing short of everything that is about accountability that we ask for out

of people, out of politicians.

She's done as just a citizen.

So she makes no excuses about things that went on or anything.

But what sets us touching on how it was handled by the media and by us, by all of us.

Go ahead.

Raise your hand if you were a Monica Lewinsky side or if you felt empathy for this person

at the time or anything.

Because I don't know anybody that did.

I know that there is a handful of people out there, certainly that did.

But overall the majority wise, not just the media, but as a society, we judged this person.

And we immediately treated her horribly.

The comeback that she has made is incredible.

The only thing that would make it better is if we learned from this situation.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Because she wasn't treated like a person.

She was treated like entertainment, like a character, like not human.

Yeah.

She was a powerless person.

She had no power.

And it was everything was dumped on her.

It was gross.

It was absolutely gross.

There's a difference of a softening of society and a smartening of society, a smarter

society.

And that's where we've gone with a lot of things.

And the people that want to pull us back and drag us, that first off, that's not going

to work.

There's no putting the genie back in the bottle no matter what you're talking about.

There's no going back in renaming teams or any of these silly things that try to distract

us or anything like that.

And it was wrong the way we treated her then.

And hopefully we have learned from it in our better, smarter society going forward.

Because again, time only goes one direction.

I mean, unless somebody has a time machine out there.

Because I hear time machines can't actually go forward.

They say that they can only go backwards, which it's sci-fi.

I don't get that like I do whatever you want.

It's science fiction.

Do what are you talking about?

No, Ma.

No, Ma Garcia Par is 52 only player in MLB history with the last name Garcia Par, which

is insane.

That's insane.

That's insane.

That's an insane stat.

What do you think about how long baseball has been played at his height?

Was he good?

Was he a hitter?

Man.

Oh my God.

He's great.

I loved him.

He's 52.

Well, recently Agatha and Agatha all long and he wanted a vision in that.

She is my in the studio.

She was in transparent, bad moms, crossing Jordan.

I love Katherine.

Fabulous, funny actress.

Oh my gosh.

She's so good.

She's very funny.

Wonderful voice.

Marlon Wayne's is 53.

Wow.

Scary movie, white chicks, a bunch of other movies.

He's got it.

Great.

I love Marlon Wayne.

Marlon Wayne's also, I just learned this recently.

The first DJ on in living color was started.

I didn't know that.

Jamie Foxx took over, but he was MW1 or something like that.

Yes, it was like MbWarck, something like that.

Yeah, yeah.

Then he was just too funny.

They didn't know about that.

Somebody, one of our favorite Seth.

And I think in Melissa's as well, Alson Kraus is 54 today.

I love Alson Kraus.

Fantastic.

Decatur, Illinois's own.

And as Seth and I were talking about on the Sunrise show and everything and you were looking

up off air.

One of the top Grammy winners of all time.

She's fourth.

All time.

She's won 27 Grammys in her career.

She absolutely deserved every single one.

She is amazing.

Yeah.

And her band with, I shouldn't say her band because they are a band together, Union Station.

I mean, one of the great, oh, they're so good.

Another in musician she shares a birthday with, Slash is six times.

Guns and roses, Velvah Revolver, I don't think a lot of people.

Really good guitar player.

I think a lot of people realize Slash also a very good songwriter.

He's a songwriter.

He is a songwriting creditor in all of their hits.

And underrated, like, I know I'm going to tick some people off here, I don't care.

Guns and roses kind of held him back.

I agree.

Like he never really got to, he, and now he's gotten to see what he can do on the guitar.

But he is so much more than three chords.

Yeah.

Basically all he got to do with Guns and roses, where he is way better than that.

He's also, and I got to play Slash.

I got to play Slash in my own classic rock days.

Nice.

That's great.

I have to say, also very intelligent and extremely funny in interviews and stuff.

He's actually very clever.

I like him.

He's a great interviewer.

Yes, he is.

Woody Harrelson is 64, one of the most versatile actors of our lifetime.

And it may sound silly to some people, but you go ahead and look at his IMDB page.

You look at the word, the credit he's had.

He's an Oscar nominee.

He's, he is much, so much more.

And I am loving him and Matthew McConaughey.

I have no idea what they're advertising, but McConaughey and him have been doing like

a series of commercials together.

And I don't know what they're advertising, but I love them.

I cannot get enough of them.

Woody Harrelson, and true detective, is some of the best work you will ever see in a

TV show.

It is, it is top five greatest acting you will ever see in a TV show.

Woody Harrelson in Cheers is a top 20 top 50 role performance in TV.

And that's not even talking about his movie career.

Yep.

Love him.

Let's see here and some people no longer with us.

Not going to mention him.

Philip Seymour Hoffman, I will though.

One of the greatest actors of his generation.

One of the most strong as performers.

You want to, I could ramble about him.

Listen to Bill Burr talk about Philip Seymour Hoffman.

It's, I've never heard of, I don't know if I've ever heard an actor, or a comedian,

talking about an actor this way.

He talks about him like he was, you know, Beethoven.

He really, really like talk, and it's all in the Bill Burr style.

It's all in his way of speaking to everything, and to hear a guy like him be awed by somebody

is really interesting, and it's beautiful.

It's really cool.

I had to look him up.

I didn't remember who he was, but yes, I loved him in Twister, the Hunger Games.

Like Rare.

Capote probably his probably one of my most famous roles, yeah.

Watch a fun movie, I think an interesting movie, I should say, Punch Drunk Love.

Not only do you get to see Adam Sandler, like you've never seen him before, and the reason

I say that Adam Sandler is a complete actor, but you'll see Philip Seymour Hoffman, like

you haven't seen him before.

And he, it's a great performance by him.

I didn't know he had that in him.

It's awesome.

Yeah.

Either one of those actors.

It's a good one.

One more time.

Happy Birthdays, to everybody out there celebrating, happy anniversaries, everybody.

I don't know, you guys, I can't think of a better way to celebrate than with Alcalfe.

I agree.

That's good.

Rainy Day.

Rainy Day calls for pie.

Yeah.

That's what it calls for.

It's my chocolate right now, James.

All right.

I gotta go.

We will.

And lemon meringue, Seth.

Lemon meringue is good.

Very tasty.

Okay.

So just Melissa will be back when we come back.

Yeah.

It's just on her own.

She's got this.

Salvatage myself.

Don't.

Be back with more show.

Welcome back, everybody.

Morning show at 97-5 FM WFHR.

I hope you're having a good one out there, everybody.

Happy Wednesday to you.

I probably should have played Heat Wave.

I probably should have came in with that.

That's true.

I hadn't thought about that one for the bumpers, but that would make sense.

Another heat dome is a setting up shop and bringing high temps to much of the U.S.

So Google looked at the top heat wave questions.

Our fellow Americans had been asking, throwing into the Google or machine.

Google or machine.

You know, you just pick them up, throw them in there to see what happens.

How that works.

That's what I do with that.

I hear the top five, top five questions where heat related questions we've been thrown

into the machine.

What temperature is considered extreme heat?

Okay.

There's not one single definition.

95 wouldn't be seen as extreme in Phoenix, but it might be in other cities.

So it depends on local.

You've got to know about humidity, which is the difference.

And what your regular temperatures usually are and that sort of thing with the average

temperatures.

Exactly.

The next question, why does extreme heat make you tired?

Your body has to work harder to maintain its normal temperature.

It can also make you toss and turn so you don't sleep well and just being dehydrated

can make you tired too.

Yes.

Water, water, water.

From experience.

I can attest to that.

Yeah.

Make your joints hurt too.

Yeah.

How do you prepare your body for extreme heat?

I think that's a very good question.

That's a good one.

Yeah.

Again.

Water, water, water.

And first up, make sure you go into it well hydrated.

There you go.

And keep drinking fluids to stay hydrated.

Oh.

That's how that works.

I think that's it.

Yeah.

That's not just a one and done, James.

Yeah.

I got to write this down.

Yeah.

Keep drinking.

No, I did water like years ago.

No.

And you got to be careful because I remember I got severely dehydrated once while I was swimming,

which seems counterintuitive, but that is very true because I wasn't ingesting water,

you know.

Yeah.

I hope not.

Well, no.

I was drinking the water.

You're swimming in.

No.

It was a lake too.

So, you know.

Yeah, please.

That's sad.

No.

That is the most sad story I've ever had.

Is it?

Oh, yeah.

I'm swimming in water again.

I'm dehydrated.

Oh my God.

Just what to be there for a second.

We can't skip past that right away.

Yeah.

It is so important.

It's key hydrated.

You know, this is why you see bicyclists with a water bottle like on the bike and I also

will extend this to when you're taking walks with your pets, bringing a little water bottle

or something just in case they need it as well.

Or you'd be like a few people I see at like the gym and our own Mike Comer, by the way,

he did this day out.

He brought it in the other day.

Just a gallon jug full of water, just carried around with you.

I don't think Mike would mind if I mentioned that, but I love that.

It's hard.

It is.

It's very smart.

It is.

I don't know that I've ever met somebody that does that that I didn't like that I didn't

get along with.

I know a lot of people.

That's right.

Number four, does hot weather affect type two diabetes?

Very important question.

Yeah.

And that is a good question.

And yes, it does.

People with diabetes get dehydrated much more easily and being dehydrated raises your blood

sugar, which makes you need to go more number one, and so you get more dehydrated.

He can also mess with your insulin levels so you might need to test your blood sugar

more often.

Okay.

Well, that's interesting.

I did not know any of that.

That's very important.

I'm spending time with somebody with diabetes and everything.

I would have never understood everything that it takes to get through an hour with diabetes

a little on a day, a week, a year, a life or anything like that.

And I don't think that anybody would want me playing a violin for them necessarily, but

I personally, I admire it.

And I think there's a lot more empathy than it needs to be had for that, I think.

Just because we've normalized so much of it doesn't make it any easier.

No.

No, absolutely not.

Having with chronic medical conditions or illnesses, it's a trial.

And finally, is hot weather bad for pregnancy?

Yes.

Again, your body already has to work harder to control that your temperature when you're

pregnant and it's hard to stay hydrated too.

Pregnant women have a higher risk of heat stroke and heat exhaustion.

You've got a nice little oven, let's say a bun in the oven, right, a little heat

creator and Beth always jokes about, you know, being pregnant in the winter time where she

finally wasn't cold because both times at the end of her pregnancy, she was in the winter

time in February.

So, yep.

I think I use this term a bit and everything about normalizing things.

I don't know that there's anything we've normalized more in society than pregnancy.

Agreed.

Which is as much as we don't understand still about pregnancy, it's really remarkable.

It's really amazing.

I mean, it's the continuation of us as a species and I don't think that there's enough appreciation

out there for it.

I agree.

100%.

What do women go through?

Absolutely.

And the toll it takes on a woman's body to have a baby, to grow another human being.

Seriously.

We just, we don't give it enough.

We just don't give it enough.

Along with the fact that we don't give them their own rights.

As well.

I think that's an important one.

Abortion is women's health care.

It's not not killing babies.

Abortion is women's health care.

I will say until I'm blue in the face.

What are visible heat waves called is another one that just barely missed the top five.

Okay.

What are visible heat waves called?

Okay.

The waves you see coming off half pavement.

Right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The most common term for those are heat haze or heat shimmers.

Oh, heat shimmers.

Shimmer.

That sounds cool.

That sounds like that.

That sounds like a good band name, too, by the way.

Sounds cool?

No.

No, it sounds hot.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's hot.

And it's also a mirage.

Like a mirage.

You're not actually seeing anything.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Have you guys ever seen a mirage?

Have you ever seen like a really like you really think you're seeing something?

No.

I don't think I've ever had.

Had the pleasure.

I don't know if it's pleasurable or not, but I did.

I did.

Oh, no.

I did, but it wasn't.

It wasn't anything like long or wasn't like in the cartoons or anything like that.

Or it was very.

Be a racist in the desert.

It's very, very disappointing.

It was not.

And this is why James doesn't like mushrooms.

Yep.

Find the figure out.

Find it.

That was perfect.

Nice.

Nice.

We'll be back after.

What?

Oh, I got distracted.

Sorry.

We'll be right back after this morning show on WFHR.

Welcome back, everyone.

Morning show here at 975FFFWFHR.

Melissa, Seth and James hanging out with you.

This is a fun, fun song.

I didn't know until I was watching the video.

There's that sound.

He's literally blowing into a jug.

One of the guys is blowing into a jug, yeah.

I don't know if it's the weirdest, but it's got to be in the top five of weirdest videos

of all time.

If you have not seen the Mungo Jerry in the video, in the summertime video, I mean, I

don't know if I can tell you to watch it because I don't want to scar you.

But you haven't seen Mutton Chops.

It's a leasinger.

And Mungo Jerry has some of the most impressive hair and facial hair that you were ever going

to see.

I'm pretty sure they're the greatest Mutton Chops of all time.

Very close.

I feel very comfortable.

That's terrifying.

Yeah.

It's very, it's the weirdest video ever.

It's great though.

It makes no sense with the song.

It's one of the happiest songs I could think of in the video.

It's just weird.

It's not a dark video.

No, it's just the weird.

It's not.

Yeah.

70s.

Yeah, quirky.

We didn't know what to do.

We don't know.

Just figuring out what videos are, you know.

I don't know what city they filmed it in, but I imagine that it was a more popular

one.

It was hot.

It was definitely hot too.

It was hot.

It was definitely hot too.

A new survey revealed which of the 50 most populated cities in America is our favorite.

Okay.

And I'd like to take some guesses from you guys and from the audience out there, 715-424-2600.

You're just a touch or two away on the Civic Media app.

Keep in mind you can text us through the app as well.

If you're busy or you got your boss over your shoulder or something like that.

Go ahead and feel free to reach out to us.

What is your America's favorite city?

Now, you can look at this as your favorite city, but I'm looking at it more of what Americans,

fellow Americans would think what we would say.

Okay.

And so you get any guesses you guys are?

I say New York.
