Condiment Sommelier Wedding (Hour 2)

Good morning, Wisconsin, morning world.

It's a new day.

Thanks for kicking it off with us at WFHR, take it Marvin.

Your host, James behind the mic, joined by Seth, good morning, and the best listeners

and radio.

Thanks for being here everybody.

We're going to have fun this hour.

Happy entertainment news, let you know it's new on your small screen, your big screen.

We'll also talk a little bit about our open house coming up, excited about that.

We got a great one coming up for you in a little bit as well, about rock songs that

bands have performed over a thousand five hundred times, just an interesting article I've

not looked at.

That's a lot of times man.

And then I'm just giving you the headline for this one, a giant tub of mayonnaise married

my friends.

We will discuss all coming up for you.

We'll also get into our schedule, we got another set of yacht rock, gold experience tickets

to give away this hour, all of that we got brewers tickets to give away this hour.

Yes, that's right.

Oh, my goodness.

We got so many different things to do like that and we don't have nearly enough time

so let's get right into it and dive into it and dive into entertainment news, Seth.

Okay.

We've been, of course, the home of Dolly Parton news for quite some time, so we got a

start here.

Dolly Parton's new stage show Dolly a true original musical opens tonight in Nashville.

It does.

Already?

Oh my gosh.

Wishing all the actors, performers, people working backstage a great run, break a leg, enjoy

yourselves, and the Queen of Country has been spending a lot of time with the cast.

She's even shared a few personal secrets with them.

Oh, nice.

Carrie St. Louis who plays a version of Dolly in the musical says she spent nearly every

day with her during rehearsals.

In one day, Dolly didn't show.

That's when the cast got a letter from her apologizing for missing rehearsal because her

husband, Carl Dean, had passed away.

Oh my goodness.

The woman sends an apology letter when her, my goodness, man.

And the only reason we know is because this lady said it.

Yeah.

She would have told them otherwise.

Anyone else is incredible.

But Dolly was back with them after only a few days and keep in mind, everybody, there

is no reason for her to be there.

She doesn't have to be there is what I mean.

I should say.

Yeah, exactly.

You're right.

She doesn't have to.

She's not a director.

She's not even really a producer.

Well, she's a co-producer on it.

Right.

But there's nobody who would be complaining.

But she's not like involved directly in the show other than that.

All the work that Dolly was, you know, is required to do.

She's done.

Right.

It's already done.

Exactly.

But she's still showing up and helping out the cast.

And I can't imagine as an actor for one to get to talk to the person you're playing.

But then that person, to want to help you play them, so we don't always see that.

Right.

That is really cool.

Most of the details are being kept under wraps until the musical opens, but Kerry says

it's the most authentic portrayal possible since Dolly oversaw every detail.

Right.

I also love, and I don't know if this was intentional or not, but almost a little throwback and kind

of almost a mage to Gypsy.

To me, I think maybe the greatest musical, like not musical, but play about a musician.

Right.

Not a performer.

Yeah, yeah.

Right.

I admit that I was in this show, and so it's a little personal to me, but I bring that up

as well because I didn't know until seeing the play version of being a part of it that

they do.

I think a really good job in that play of giving you a young rose, a kind of middle-aged

rose and older rose and all that.

I like that they're doing that with this play.

I think that's a much, much smarter way to do this than trying to have one person playing

Dolly of all of these decades.

And this Kerry St. Louis is incredibly talented.

She may end up being a household name.

That's cool.

That's very cool.

That's great.

Break a leg.

Yeah.

Have fun.

But it goes well.

You can find the complete article at tasteofcountry.com.

Go ahead and find that.

And of course, Dolly's musical as a fantastic website.

Check it out there.

McCulley Culkin was on the latest episode of Hot Ones and was asked to fact check some

rumors about Home Alone.

Quick side note.

Great comeback story for him.

Great comeback story.

Looks great.

Has been working.

Has been, you know, seems great, seems healthy and all that.

And really worked his way back into the industry.

He was offered a couple of big gigs that he turned down because he felt he wasn't ready

for.

And he wanted to kind of work his way back in really slowly.

Did a couple of guest spots on American Horror Story and some of these things to really

start building his rep up again and played some really nasty characters that I wouldn't

imagine the Home Alone kid doing.

But I really admire it.

That's cool.

And he's really good.

The movie saved.

His performance in that movie is better than anything he did as a kid.

It's really good stuff.

So for starters, did you know that his stunt double was nearly 30 years old?

In the movie Home Alone, McCulley Culkin's stunt double was like 30.

His name was Larry.

McCulley was 9 years old at the time and he knew Larry was much older.

But he thought he was like 13.

He thought he was a little older.

Just a little older.

He didn't think he was like that kind of old.

But he looked a lot younger.

Apparently.

Yeah.

And McCulley remembered being worried about Larry when he had to do a stunt where he falls

from a collapsing shelf.

Quote, it was a vicious first take.

They didn't like the way everything felt and they had to do it over and over and over again.

I'm going, please take it easy on Larry.

He's only 13 years old.

You got to hear him saying, you got to hear him talk about it in the interview.

He also mentioned that his cause, because you're a stranger line to the grocery store clerk

was all his idea.

And yes, the photo of Buzz's girlfriend was a boy with makeup on and a couple of other

credit cool little, little facts about it and everything.

Very genuine fun interview.

You know, it's, it's, I'm glad it's, it's obviously he's made his peace with, you know,

whatever, you know, whatever came from that because I mean, I can't imagine being a

nine year old doing all this, you know, being in a movie like that.

And then it being so big, so huge and you're just, you're a kid, man.

Oh, I'm, I'm really glad he's in a better, he's in a good place right now.

I love that.

Shut up to that.

Sean Evans, the host of hot ones, he's, he's the only thing I have, the only little nitpick

I have about the show is that I feel like the eating and the hot wings and all that stuff

really distracts.

Like, he's a great interviewer.

I don't think he needs to gimmick.

No.

If it's something he wants or something they did to kind of have it, they interview stand

out or whatever it is.

But man, it's a thing now.

It has worked.

It has.

I mean, if you are a name and you have a movie coming out, you almost have to be on that

show.

Uh, it, it's really, and that's one of those wild things that just you never saw coming.

You know, it's all said, whoa, what?

And I really do like the way he interviews is very good.

If you had to create the Mount Rushmore, this is one of our favorite things to do as

guys, Seth.

I don't know if women do this too.

I apologize if they do.

I've just never heard of women even like any interest in this conversation, let alone

actually doing that with their girlfriends or anything.

But we do this in sports, uh, the Mount Rushmore of quarterbacks, the Mount Rushmore for

this team and stuff, you know, and it's the top four of any, you know, of this, what

we're talking about.

It's something we do all the time.

Well, I don't know if I've ever seen it like this.

Vice.com, uh, did this whole Mount Rushmore of Grunge music, and which bands would you choose?

Okay.

And they shared theirs along with who they think it represents each president.

I've never thought of that.

Oh, so they're actually literally like doing a Mount Rushmore comp on this.

Okay.

Interesting.

Interesting.

I thought that was quite interesting.

All right.

All right.

So for this, we take a look and Nirvana is out is George Washington, Washington was America's

first president in the face of the country just as, you know, Nirvana was really the face

of Grunge.

Yeah.

Yeah.

They were the, the progenitors of it.

Like it or not.

And they don't, I don't think they liked it that much.

Yeah.

It still happened.

And certainly you have to put them on the Mount Rushmore of Grunge.

Absolutely.

You cannot.

Uh, I think that's probably the easiest answer of all these.

Soundguard.

Uh, I think that, uh, I, I don't think you can have this, uh, this list without them at

number two.

Uh, and some people might have met number one in many ways, uh, as far as pop hit or popular

hits and stuff.

Right.

Soundguard and his Thomas Jefferson, they're strong yet mella mella melodic creations helped

forge a path from the 80s into the 90s.

Just as Jefferson is an essential as Washington, when telling the American story, Soundguard

is just as essential as Nirvana.

That's a good point.

Well, I, I, I would agree with that.

Yeah.

Uh, especially if you want to get into the weeds on this one and really mother love bone

was before all of these bands and you ain't been members from each of those bands.

Yeah.

Exactly.

Uh, and next up, of course, Pearl Jam, probably the more, um, pop friendly of all of these

bands.

Yes.

Even though I wouldn't say that they were necessarily poppy at all.

I wouldn't call it pop grunge or anything.

No, exactly, but, but they were the, they were the arena group, you know, they were the,

the hard rock.

I don't know.

I don't like to categorize, but yeah, they were, they were, there was a certain, they

had a certain sound that was not like the others and it seemed bigger.

It just seemed like a bigger sound that they had.

They felt like the only band that didn't shy away from getting big and getting, and

famous and all that and everything.

They, they seem to almost embrace it.

Yeah.

Whereas every other band had, had a little bit of a, you know, anxiety or, yeah, angst

about it or something like that.

Well, it was grunge.

Angstine.

Right.

Territorial.

Pearl Jam is Theodore Roosevelt.

Yeah.

Ah, Teddy, one of my favorites.

Teddy had cause, uh, had causes that he took up, uh, namely for the president, the preservation

of nature.

Mm-hmm.

Similarly, Pearl Jam has always had things that they have, it's been spoken about, whether

it's gun violence, the environment or the price of concert tickets famously.

Yeah.

Right.

But what you just said, I think it was even more.

Roosevelt was the boisterous, you know, he was always loud.

Yeah.

Filled a room.

Again, Pearl Jam, that's what they wanted.

They wanted to fill that, that, that space.

I can't get over how much these are lining up.

That's pretty good.

Yeah.

I completely agree with all these three right now.

Yeah.

And, uh, they, they landed, they, they landed it for me because the one band that I got

to have in there is in there, Alison Chains.

Yeah.

And Alison Chains is Abraham Lincoln.

As famous for good times as he is for bad, Lincoln led the country through the Civil

War.

Alison Chains were always in the middle of something harsh, uh, like Lane Stanley's

issues and some of those things, um, but continued to push forward.

Uh, Alison Chains put out just as much music as anybody else.

Yeah.

And I will say for me, they're my favorite of all of these bands, although I do like

all of them and everything, but there's, there, there, but Alison Chains is like top

10 favorite band of all time for me.

Right.

Right.

I like the comp.

I like all of these comps.

I think that's a really good list.

And, and honestly, the, the four they picked, I honestly can't think of one to replace any

of them with because those were all, they were the, the big name.

Um, I guess the one, you know, if we have to throw a crazy horse in there, uh, in terms

of monuments, right?

Nicely done.

Nice.

Maybe, I don't know, smashing pumpkins.

Maybe.

Yeah.

I don't know because they were, they were kind of, I know they came a little bit later,

but still they had that, they had the, the grunge, uh, legacy with them, I think.

If, um, if we're looking at like the early bands, I think, as I mentioned, mother, love

bone.

I think the Jay Hawks.

I think there's a couple of Seattle particular band mud honey, mud honey, yeah, you

know.

Particularly, literally got the sound going right in Seattle's to where we get as big as

it did.

Um, but I, I, I don't know how you can do, uh, Stone Temple Pilots came a little bit later.

Yeah.

You know, but they, they did, uh, keep the music going for a long time, keep that energy

going a little bit longer than some of the other bands.

They were.

So if, if you, if you want to go for like the most hated by, by, like critics and stuff,

group, I don't know who you'd comp, like Stone Temple Pilots with.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Like, there's a John Wilkes booth.

Maybe.

I don't know.

Yeah.

I don't know.

They certainly were.

They took all the heat for anything.

They take the heat.

Wow.

When people got tired of grunge, they took it out on them.

They did.

Yeah.

And that usually happened.

Which wasn't fair, which wasn't fair.

No, it's never fair.

And it happens to, you know, we could name the bands.

Right?

That, that, that for some reason, everyone just hated it.

Yeah.

And it's usually that band that came out just a little later than the others.

Yep.

You know, yeah.

Between them and Creed, I think one of those two.

Right.

Perfect.

Yeah.

That's a good list.

I like that.

That's fun.

Yeah.

Looking at what's new in your small screen and big screen this week, and we start with

your TV.

Stars has Outlander blood on of my blood.

It's a prequel series focused on the parents of these characters.

Is Melissa geared up for that one?

She's a big outlander fan.

I wonder.

Yeah.

I wonder if she is.

Totally funny animals.

The first season finale is on 8 o'clock on CW.

Okay.

I just wanted to say that title.

I have no idea what that show is, but I hope it's good.

I'm guessing it's what they say it is at the title.

I think it's probably pretty close to that.

This is pretty self-explanatory.

It is.

It is.

I love it.

Tonight on USA and sci-fi, the fourth season and series finale of Resident Alien, a great

show.

I'm so sad that that's coming to an end, but yeah, I mean, I've never seen it, but I've

heard so many good things about it, yeah.

I really hope I get a chance to check out at least the highlights of this Sunday night

at 7 on NBC, the US Gymnastics Championships.

Ooh, cool.

Very nice.

That should be really good.

Ooh, I got it.

I want to check that out.

That's something really good.

And then taking a look at what's new on your big screen.

At this point in the summer season, most of your movies, your big releases have already

come out.

Yep.

And most studios are afraid to release anything because of the big summer blockbusters

that are still in theaters in pulling a lot of crowds, yeah.

Now in years past, they've been a little braver about this because those movies have not

done as well as they thought and they haven't stayed in theaters as long.

This summer, they, I think they, this is one of the few times where they didn't need,

they just played this perfectly because they had to have had an idea that Superman, the

Fantastic Four or Jurassic Park, some of these big hitters, we're going to do one of them

was going to do well and probably still in being theater.

Yeah.

So that's why you're seeing like comedies coming out now.

For one, studios are definitely afraid to release a comedy on anything other than streaming.

Right.

The last big blockbuster comedy summer, the movie that you've seen, that wasn't a kid's

focused one.

Right.

It's different because that's for kids, but like an adult sort of comedy, yeah, exactly.

So that's why you released naked gun now, late in summer and all that, either that

or you release it right at the beginning of summer, right at the start of it or anything.

I've heard good things and it seems to be doing well movie-wise and stuff.

So hopefully studios will bring more comedies to the movies, I don't know.

But to the, in the same light, family movies are, this is when they get released.

And I'm a little surprised that this got a nationwide release, but then when I started

hearing from my students and stuff, this movie has such a cult following much bigger than

I ever realized, the Freaky Friday movies.

Oh, yeah.

I'm curious.

Yeah.

I'm talking to a student.

She is just turned 19.

We just celebrated a birthday this week and everything.

And she is talking about how her and her mom grew up on, or she grew up on these movies,

like the original ones.

Right.

Like what's her name, the old twins or whatever they played over, Haley Mills, well, she

wasn't twins, but yes.

Oh, yeah.

She played both characters.

Yeah, right.

I think we're going too far back.

I think I went too far back.

Like Mary Kate and Ashley kind of thing, maybe, or something like that.

Oh, even further back.

Yeah.

The original parent trap or something like that.

Those movies.

Oh, wow.

So you can set them on a course of watching all those movies.

Oh, I see.

I see.

Okay.

That's what I was trying to say.

Okay.

And so the idea of this has always been seemed like, honestly, of all the tropes in movies

and TV shows, this is like top three laziest in the world to me.

It's never interesting.

Right.

I don't know nothing.

These movies are hugely popular.

People love these movies.

That's awesome.

I'm glad to see that.

Yeah.

They found an audience.

And the big movie coming out tonight, Freakyear Friday, rated PG, Jamie Lee Curtis, and

Lindsay Lohan return as Tess and Anne to exchange bodies again, I guess, I didn't learn

their lesson.

The weird cosmic things, yes.

Mark Harmon is Tess's husband and Chad Michael Murray is Anne as X.

That's interesting.

Chad Michael Murray.

Not two names.

I am not saying.

Wow.

Big, big fan of Mark Harmon.

Yes.

I like Mark Harmon.

I like seeing him work.

Yeah.

And it's cool that they did this.

You know, like, see how it does.

Why not?

We'll see.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Let me know when they release the Shaggy DA in a moment.

Oh, nice.

The Apple Dumbling Gang.

Let's see that one.

The rebake of that.

But you can't because there's no Tim Conway.

No.

I can't do it without Tim Conway.

No.

No.

No.

We will take a time out.

We'll come back and not only get into a fun topic here about bands and how many times they

played certain songs.

We'll talk about our open house.

And we got this Yacht Rock Gold experience to talk about as well.

Take it.

All coming up on The Morning Show at WFHR.

I love the colorful clothes you wear.

And the way the sunlight plays a partner in.

Welcome back, everybody.

Mornings here at WFHR.

Seth and James hanging out with you.

Hope you're having a great Friday out there.

I'm on the way back to the circuit through the air.

I'm making up good operations.

Seth, I ask you off the top of your head, how many times do you think the Beach Boys played

good vibrations?

Oh, that's a good question.

Probably not as many as you think.

Yeah, it might be a little harder song to recreate live.

I'm sure they did it plenty of time, so.

I do love the idea of a live pheromone being pheromone.

Like some pheromone.

Somebody bringing a lemon.

They have to get a bring it on the tour with them.

Yes.

Those are hard to play by the way.

You have to be really good to do those.

In the elements live.

That would be wild.

Yeah.

I would imagine to mess with the sound even because a lot of that is.

You might.

It might.

The wind or something.

I don't know.

But I imagine that they definitely played it.

I would feel comfortable saying hundreds of times.

I feel comfortable saying that with being around multiple decades and that.

And that's kind of where we're leaning into.

It's safe to assume that bands play their most popular hits all the time.

But if you ever wonder just how many times a new study looked at took stats from the website's

setlist.fm.

Setlist.fm, which is actually a really cool one.

Nice.

Yeah.

If you are ever interested now, I like to be surprised.

I don't like to look up the playlist.

I actually kind of refuse to do that.

But you've been able to do this for a really long time.

Yes.

If you want to see now, it's not always exact.

It is kind of cool.

And I know for people that have seen bands multiple times, it's a really big deal.

I never saw them do this one and that kind of thing.

So I think it's kind of a cool list, our cool website, setlist.fm.

Yep.

They did this too.

They went there to find out which songs rock bands have played over 1,500 times.

So that was the bar.

At least 1500 times.

Yes.

I think we're having an interesting conversation about this.

And of all the musicians we've gotten to talk to, I've never really gotten to talk to a musician

and asked them, hey, this song, what's it like for Leonard Skinnerd when they were around,

of course, maybe a bad example with them being not being around that long, but of playing

free bird.

Right.

You know, play free bird.

Yeah.

Every night and stuff.

I imagine that a band probably go, if they're lucky enough, gets through an ebb and

flow with that.

Where in the early on, they don't mind doing it.

There's probably a stretch where they roll their eyes and then maybe they come back

around to it.

They don't mind so much, right?

Yeah.

That makes sense.

I wonder, I wonder.

I'd love to talk to some of these artists about this.

At number 10, you give love a bad name from Bon Jovi has played 1,570 times and I feel

like I've heard every single one of them.

Sorry.

I got really burnt out of Bon Jovi band.

Terry is giving a look at it at me right now.

No, I can feel it.

No, I can feel it.

I can feel it.

That's surprising.

No, it's not.

I actually would have thought it would be higher elbow.

Yeah, right.

That's the way from Aerosmith, 1,761 times.

That's a big jump already.

Wow.

Just the difference in how long the number and has been around.

Right.

Exactly.

You know, play Aerosmith has had a lot of hits through the years, but it doesn't surprise

me that that one would be the big one that they play the most.

Of course, don't fear the reaper from Blue Oyster.

Yeah.

2,619 times.

Maybe they had to play at least like twice every show.

Well, I'm just teasing Blue Oyster called, but I mean.

It's interesting because not a band that was around that long compared to Aerosmith.

Right.

Exactly.

But man, but that's a lot.

Wow.

At number seven, I want you to want me from Cheap Trick.

2,239 times.

We'll see now that one we might be able to get.

You know, Wisconsin band.

Maybe they'll talk to us.

Maybe we can get Robert Zander on here or something.

Rick Nielsen.

I mean, it'd be awesome to talk to them again.

I had like five seconds with them before you're doing stuff.

It counts.

I was going to lean on that.

At number six, Rock of Ages from Deaf Leopard, two thousand and eighty one times.

That's the song for Deaf Leopard.

I'm a hundred guess.

Well, twenty guesses.

I wouldn't have guessed that.

No.

No, not considering all their songs.

Man, really.

Yeah, pour some sugar on me.

Yeah.

That would be like number one.

Maybe in the first or like photograph or something like that.

Yeah.

Wow.

At number five, Rock and Roll all night from Kiss, two thousand, two hundred and twenty eight times.

I don't know how that can be accurate.

What?

You think it'd be more than that?

Yeah.

Way more than that.

Unless there was a time when they refused to play it, which I think could have happened at some point.

But, yeah.

Man.

I know that when I saw them that we knew, I didn't see a set list, we just knew that was going to be the end.

Of course.

And one of the few bands where you don't need a curtain call, like they give you such a show.

Each one of those guys gets a solo and it's not just a solo.

It's Ace Freely and he's soloing and playing amazing and his guitars on fire.

Like, you know, Paul Stanley's flying out into the audience and everything.

It's not just a show.

It's like a performance.

It's a spectacle is what it is.

Yeah.

No pun intended with their final like one of their last album's Echo Circus, but it is a circus.

It really is.

And Paul Stanley is the ring master.

It's really something.

Master of puppets from Metallica at 1,774 times.

Wow.

But again, Enter Sandman.

I would have thought.

Again.

But Master of puppets has been with them for a long year and I think that's why.

And they still play that probably every show.

Well, I don't know how.

I know it was popular.

I don't know how well it did record sales wise, but 1.

That's the definitive Metallica song to me is 1.

Right.

You can go ahead and throw the black Al Mami all you want and everything.

And I got none against it.

But if you're going to talk about that band, you've got to start there for me.

You've got to start with 1.

Yeah, you do.

Now, diehard fans would be able to answer that question a lot better.

Oh, I'm sure they would.

But just for me, at least.

At number 3.

Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun.

Smoke on the water from D-Purple.

Yeah.

2,223 times.

That is not counting every kid that has ever picked up a guitar.

And it's usually the first thing they try to play.

I mean, I'm telling you.

Well, because it's a relatively simple riff.

But I mean, it's so evocative, though.

My goodness.

Hearing guitar players talk about it, you hit it right on the head.

It's known, it's recognizable.

And it's not that difficult.

Not taking anything away from the original guitarist or anything.

It's just part of the reason why it's been so picking it up.

Exactly.

When you're picking up an instrument, the one thing that we don't talk about nearly enough

is confidence building.

And your confidence with that instrument.

And if you pick it up and you're able to play something that you've heard a billion times

or 2,000 sometimes, you feel a little more confident about it.

A list that would be even more interesting to me is which songs guitarists have learned the most to.

That one would, I think, be on the near the top of the list.

Because listening, you know, a lot of you hear a lot of guitars to say,

well, I just played what I heard on the radio.

I was listening to this and I tried to emulate it.

You know, that's how I learned how to play guitar.

More than any other instrument.

Yeah.

The guitar you hear that with.

When I first picked up the trumpet, I really wanted to try to mimic Miles Davis.

I really wanted to try to mimic these artists and everything.

I get doing that.

I also, man, it's that one of the worst things I feel like we can do too.

But we all do it.

Miles Davis?

Yeah, that would be a bad idea.

Yeah.

Pick the guy that invented seven types of guitarists.

Yeah, yeah.

No.

At number two, schools out from Alice Cooper, 3,090 times the most of any song on this list.

Wow.

If my dad saw Cooper live and he said he ever entered with schools out.

Yeah.

That was a song he ended up.

So I can see that.

And not one that I, of all these songs I've mentioned, I wouldn't have thought that would have the most place.

Interesting.

Yes.

And at number one, TNT from ACDC, 1,588 times.

Easily would have thought Thunderstruck.

Yeah.

Well, again, I think that was a little bit later in their career.

Yeah.

So they had had this whole, you know, time to play those other, the other, the earlier hits, right?

Yeah.

But TNT, again, boy, there's a couple other songs there.

I thought would be like all night long or something like that for ACDC.

But I don't know.

Maybe that's one of their older ones.

And this is kind of part one, everybody.

Oh.

Because what I want to do is do this again with Melissa.

And I want to do this as a list with the audience of songs you never get tired of.

Oh.

And it has to be something that I would say at least 10 years.

Yeah.

I think that's a good low bar there.

Right.

I'm not talking about a song that just came out or anything like that.

Yeah.

You've been listening to recently.

You need to be a little bit longer than that.

I'm talking about which songs.

You know, we'll do this next week.

We'll have some fun with this one this week.

You know, I can challenge myself.

What I will do is I will try to figure out which song on the dirty dancing soundtrack I can still listen to.

That might be a challenge.

Not a one.

Not a one for me.

That is not my fault.

That is my sister and my cousin Lisa's fault.

It's my mom's fault.

One summer, man, every darn day they were watching that movie.

And God help us if it was raining out and we couldn't go out and play.

I can quote that movie and I don't even like the movie.

Not against it.

If you like it, you like it.

But not for you.

Not for you.

No, man.

That's my joke.

Yeah.

We'll take a time.

I'm not waiting anybody over this.

Oh boy.

We will take a time out and hopefully save my career.

And we'll come back with some more fun for you, everybody.

Got a good one right here.

I'm just giving you the headline.

A giant tub of mayonnaise married my friends.

At 11.

We can all relate.

Yes.

We've all been.

We'll be back with more show.

Welcome back, everybody.

Morning show here at WFHR.

Locally grown radio.

Seth and James hanging out with you.

Thanks so much for hanging out with us.

Hope you're having a great Friday out there.

We still got tickets to give away for yacht rock gold experience.

Be listening for that before the end of the hour.

Got some good stories of the day and we'll get into our schedule as well.

But we got this one here.

I've teased this long enough.

It isn't often that we check in and see these kind of like headlines

that aren't from the onion that you noted earlier and everything.

Well, a couple got married in a quote chicken tender dip themed wedding in Vegas.

And it was officiated by the Helmens mascot, Manny Mayo.

And believe it or not, this was something they agreed to.

This is something they wanted.

They were in favor of.

They chose this.

Nick Phelps and Heather Shoring were the winners of a Helmens wedding contest package,

which included a ceremony, a full reception, with food, a professional photographer,

and $5,000 to couple travel expenses.

Well, hello.

You know, it's expensive as weddings are and everything.

I can't stand man days.

And I may even do.

Would you be doing this?

If you want to.

Yeah, everything paid for.

Yeah.

And they were into it.

The couple describes themselves as quote, condiment a summer, summer lease or so.

Some, some all yeas.

Thank you.

The people that do wine, yeah, are called some of them that are wine teasers.

That's an unfair word for people with dyslexia.

That's not nice.

It is unfair.

That's throwing French words in there.

How dare they?

They say that the wedding was quote, very on brand for them.

And in fact, during the previous, during the proposed previous proposal,

the ring was hidden in a sauce ram, ramican.

So I guess they're really like leaned right into it.

They, I guess so.

Why not?

In fact, I feel bad for anybody else that like threw their name into this contest.

Yeah, you weren't going to win.

Yeah, you had no chance.

Not with these guys.

This is just too much, man.

They were notified that they won the contest on July 2nd.

And the wedding was July 21st.

So they had less than three weeks to prepare.

But it's easier when a mayonnaise brand is handling all the logistics,

which shot out to Helmand's man.

They went above and beyond with this kind of thing.

They really did.

Wow.

One of the couple's friends reported on it first with Wall Street Journal.

With the headline, a giant tub of mayonnaise married by friends.

It's fantastic.

For sure, but still fun.

And the Wall Street Journal.

I mean, seriously, if you need to know where journalism is in this day and age.

Everyone also had a sign and had to sign a waiver agreeing to waive their moral rights.

What?

So yeah.

That's weird.

Yeah, I get a little more questions about them.

Yeah, that's odd.

Anyway, she said Helmand's initially had a dress code sending guess a palette of Helmand's colors.

But they didn't end up caring about it.

So they didn't make them stick to it.

I think maybe it was more of a, you know, they were hopefully hoping that.

As a suggestion, maybe.

Yeah.

A helpful suggestion from Helmand's.

And when marrying them, Manny Mayo said, like chicken tender dip and chicken tenders,

marriage is a beautiful union of two special flavors that just work together.

The audience erupted with a genuine awe.

Aw.

The couple later read their actual vows at a chip in Dales.

You're hilarious.

It was, it was right on the strip though.

I'm sure of that.

Yeah.

If you're interested, people.com has a photos of the wedding and a bunch of that.

Again, question to the audience, question to you, Seth.

If you are going to get married in a condiment company is going to sponsor the wedding.

I'm not asking if or not you would do this.

I'm, I'm, you're already all in on this.

Okay.

It's just picking the condiment company.

You know, which one you pick and, you know, you pick and hide.

What's the mustard one?

Darn it.

Plotments.

Yeah.

I was thinking of the, Dordajary, the fancy.

Oh.

Great Pupon.

Great Pupon.

Thank you.

Yes.

Yeah.

You want to go with a little fancier ritzier.

Something like that.

See, that would make more sense.

Right?

Great Pupon doing it.

Because, you know, do the ritzie thing, you know.

Yeah.

I, some of my earliest memories are being called something stereotypical or something like that.

I fought my whole life against stereotypes and I come on these airwaves.

And I just go right into it because I'm a right about to say Marinara.

Marinara.

Like, I'd have a, like a Newman zone or something like that.

Right.

That's the only one I can think of.

All these other ones.

I'm like, I don't know.

Maybe a, maybe a taco sauce or something like that.

There you go.

Sure.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm probably going with a Marinara company.

Maybe, uh, Tabasco.

Tabasco might be nice, you know.

Some days I feel like a walking stereotype.

I really do.

Hey, it's a beautiful part of it.

We'll put you in the mirror.

I'm trying.

I'm trying.

Do you have what it pops in my mind?

Ah, I don't know.

Well, maybe hot sauce.

You know, that'd be kind of fun, you know.

Interesting.

Go in with the whole Tabasco thing, maybe, you know, or, or, uh, what do you want?

Texas Pete or whatever, you know, a couple of those other ones, but I can't, uh, it was hard

to think of that.

But at the same time, it was also tough for me to think of just like a brand.

Like, even, like, I wear, uh, one of the few brands I back Adidas.

I wear a lot of Adidas.

I wouldn't even want them necessarily sponsored my wedding.

Like, I can't, I can't think of anybody that I just certainly want in on my day, you

know, in on our day, you'll ever this other person is.

The incongruity of condiments and weddings, you know, you'd think it'd be something more,

you know, like a cake, you know, maybe a cake, a baking company or, or, you know, like

Pillsbury, all right?

Yeah, makes sense, right?

They make flour and you do them with cake, you know, or something or, or a car company

with the limo or something like that.

Even more, a little more closer than condiments, which I just, doesn't scream romance to

me.

Yeah.

I, uh, teach their own, I suppose.

I don't know.

Yeah.

I'd like to hear from the audience on this one.

I'd also like to know more about that moral rights thing.

I'd like to know more about that.

Yeah.

And that was about, uh, many male, yeah, never heard of him.

Yeah.

Sorry, Helmins.

You've done a bad job of promoting your, your mascot.

We've known of Helmins literally our whole life.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Just the first I've ever heard of their mascot.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's a horrible job.

I have no idea.

How old that mascot is.

I have no idea.

What's the man he may help?

Please call up a little snow.

Like, um, so when it comes to like a lot of this stuff too, like the, the, the brand

or somebody branding your wedding or something like that, is this something that we could

see more of as businesses, as marketing people are trying to try and harder and harder to

reinvent the wheel and all of this, uh, are we going to see more of these things where

businesses are just going to start going like, and I'm not talking about celebrity weddings.

I mean like just this kind of normal folks.

Yeah.

And getting in on it, I, I'm very curious about that.

I, I think it you are honestly, when's the last time I, I thought of Helmins mayonnaise?

Like it's been a decade, you know, and I can't, I can't tell you when's the last time

I, but yeah, it's worked.

We're talking about it right now, right?

Yeah.

So it gave them some, you know, market, you know, awareness, which is what they're all

trying to do right now.

So I would not be surprised if they did.

I, yeah.

I also, I would love to see, um, and I've never watched one of these shows.

I just think the concept is kind of funny and cool that is it cake or real?

Um, I like the idea of weddings doing this.

I like it.

Yeah.

You can imagine that.

Yeah.

You really have the wedding cake up there and you have, uh, the, the presents, um, yeah,

so like some of the presents are real and some of them are cake.

I like that.

I like that.

I like it.

Either way you win, is the cake real?

Is it real?

Is the cake real?

I know.

No, it's a new car.

Um, it would never work, but I really do love the idea of opening up like a, a cake shop.

And you never know like, okay, is this microwave a microwave or is it a cake?

I don't know.

You buy it.

You don't know.

You don't know.

It's kind of a surprise.

Yeah.

But maybe you walk out with a new microwave.

Hey, you know, it's not a bad thing, you know, we can call a shop.

What's in the box?

You know, I'm, I'm, I'm being told that already our business is already, uh, bankrupt.

Well, I've already gone bankrupt.

There, I have to say there is a store in town here that does do a $50 mystery boxes,

you know, from like, uh, uh, return things Amazon or whatever it is, you know, they

do.

So, hey, maybe, maybe that's not a bad idea.

Yeah, I'm the same.

Maybe something there.

Something there.

I got to call sage and tell them I got a business idea.

I got to, I got to, I'm just going to go through, throw through a pitch to them, see if

you see the exception.

It doesn't immediately kick you off the door.

It's, uh, hopefully I hear him laugh, at least I make them laugh.

You know, it's hopefully.

We'll take a time out.

We'll come back and wrap up the show, morning show on WFHR.

Many have come knocking, looking to swoop in and grab power and influence on the Wisconsin

frontier.

And they have all been sent packing, except for one, Hiram Pembroke.

And he won't be going anywhere because he turned up dead in the bunkhouse with no signs

of struggle.

Is it a natural death?

Or do we have ourselves another Who Done It?

It's $5 for adults.

Students are $3 if you're a member of the historic point boss.
