Good morning, Wisconsin, morning world, it's a new day, thanks for kicking it off with
us at WFHR, take it, Marvin.
Got your host James behind the mic, have set joining us in a little bit, looking forward
to that, and plenty more fun lined up for you, getting some entertainment news.
We've also got the top songs that hit the top 100 that are in dog related, all of that
coming up, and we're playing that a little bit later, because it is a Thursday and a 10
o'clock hour we know what that means everybody.
That means it is time for our pet of the week with the South of County of Maine Society.
Every Thursday Denise joins us with our pet of the week, and we appreciate her, thanks
for being here, Denise.
Thanks for having me.
Good morning.
Appreciate the time, and I know I like to kind of stretch this out a little bit sometimes,
but we got to get to it right away.
Who is our pet of the week, Denise?
I've got Ace in my arms, he's a four month old puppy, brand new to the world almost.
He came in as a straight, and he is in need of some barrier or boundaries, and some manners,
otherwise he's very loving.
He a great family pet.
He's a four month, you know, that's the age where anybody who's been around the dog
or that age or anything, you understand, that's where they're at.
I have to tell everybody that you have to go ahead and look at Ace's picture.
Ace has got an amazing picture out there, it's so cute, and just a sweet dog, very sweet
dog.
Yep.
He just needs love, he needs a good family to love him, and he'll be just perfect.
And Denise with a dog like this, that young, we don't see those at the shelters very often,
so all the more reason where I think that if you are somebody out there who looks for
younger dogs, he looks for younger animals, this is a really good option for you.
Yep, he's fully vaccinated in microchip, he's ready to go, and just, you know, if you are
the kind of person that wants to take a puppy and mold him to your family and have them
grow together, this is your guy.
As a mutt myself, I know one when I see one, he's a little bit of a mixed breed, it looks
like.
Yep, I hard to tell what he is if he's part, husky part, lab, the white, yeah, God only
knows what he is.
Beautiful white coat, but you mentioned this as we, as he was walking into the studio
here and everything.
He's got these cute little like almost cow-like spots behind his ears that are really unique.
It is very, he's unique looking.
He doesn't have necessarily a, just black over one eye, but he does almost, it's almost
like a spot from like what is it, the little rascals or whatever, yeah, yeah, he's got
that going for him too.
He's a very charming dog.
He's cute.
Yep.
Very endearing.
And he is neutered.
He has his shots and microchip and everything.
Correct.
Yep.
He's ready to go.
Fantastic.
Fantastic.
Really good to hear.
And thank you so much for bringing an ace.
And ace, it's really good to meet you.
I'm very proud of you.
I've also enjoyed interviewing Ace throughout this, although I don't know that he's answered
any of my questions.
That's all right though.
That's all right.
But very sweet dog.
And now Ace is probably not going to get too much bigger, either we're expecting.
Maybe a little bit bigger, but he does seem like a small breed dog based on his teeth
and the size of his paws and stuff.
That's interesting about the size of the paws.
I forgot about that, but that's one of the ways we can tell that, yeah, and nice paws
too, nice size.
So it's going to be a good size dog, but nothing too gigantic or an medium size.
Sometimes when we're not sure the breed, it can be hard to tell, but the paws, you're
right.
Isn't it the ears too?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Like they grow into their ears kind of.
Usually they do.
I forgot about that.
Yeah.
That's really cool.
When it comes to different things going on over at the shelter, we know that we want
to make sure that any events you guys are doing wanted to highlight those.
Yep.
Yep.
We have rocked the shelter coming up September 6th.
That is not our event, but we benefit from it.
Thank you to Tammy Joginder.
And our 5K 9 walk run is coming up September 20th, Lake Vizicia, register right now through
September 3rd, I believe, in order to be guaranteed a t-shirt.
Oh, really extended it.
Oh, that's great.
That's really cool.
You guys did that.
We extended it.
This is kind of a wrap up of our 5K 9 run walks that we have throughout the summer and
everything.
Yep.
But one of the more important ones we do, there's not a ton of opportunities for our Humane
Society to raise awareness, raise funds.
If you're able to be a part of this one, we encourage you, plus you get one of those
memorable shirts.
Yeah.
They're really cool.
And you're doing all this, getting outside, getting some exercise.
You're doing this 5K 9 walk at a perfect time of the year too.
Before it gets cold.
Yeah.
Still nice, you know, 70s weather kind of thing, so it's going to be another opportunity
to get outside for that.
And all of that said, you're helping one of the more important nonprofits in our area.
Yes, sir.
Thank you so much.
Yeah.
And bring your pets.
Make sure they're leashed and you have current rabies vaccination proof and you can walk
your pets around Lake Vizicia.
You can register online right now by going over to their website, swhs.com, head on over
there and check that out.
And keep in mind, again, that pre-registration extend until September 3rd.
Correct.
That's really cool.
As far as things we can help out with Denise, our items that we need are certainly cat
food, wet cat food, litter, those sorts of things.
Correct.
We still have kittens rolling in the door, so both pellet litter and clay litter and
wet food.
House.
Yeah.
I encourage you to do that, everybody.
And Denise, I don't want to keep you too long because I know how much you guys got going
on over there and everything.
So they did want to note on our National Day of Calendar, we take a look at this every
morning and today is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day.
Oh my gosh.
It's the day to remember our beloved pets that we have lost.
And I think one of the greatest ways to honor them, because almost every one of us has
an animal or a pet that we've lost and we miss and we love.
I think one of the best ways of honoring them is when you are ready and able, adopting
an animal from the Humane Society or certainly donating and volunteering at our Humane
Societies, doing it in the honor of that former animal, that former great friend of yours
and everything.
Absolutely.
We have all kinds of opportunities for you to pay tribute to your pets.
Yeah.
It's a great day to do that and really there is no bad day to help out and to be a part
of things over at our local Humane Society.
Be listening every Thursday for another opportunity.
Here are pet of the week with Denise and thank you again, both for being here, a big
shout out to Ace here.
By the way, I almost forgot this great name in a perfect name for Ace.
Sometimes the name doesn't always match the edible and you kind of have fun with that
and that kind of works.
You know, you got a big dog named Tiny or something like that.
But he is an Ace.
He's an Ace.
If he had walked in here and said my name is Ace, I would not have been shocked.
I would have like, okay, that dog talks and it knows its name.
It's pretty good.
It's good to meet you Ace and always good hanging out with you, Denise.
Thank you so much for having us.
Appreciate the time.
Be listening next Thursday for another edition of the Pet of the Week with Denise and her
friends at the South of County Main Society.

And again, be back here next week like Ace is telling you, Ace is just backing me up
on this stuff.
I appreciate it.
Thank you, Ace.
Good partner, right?
Good height, man.
Ace is a good height man.
We'll be back with more show coming up, Morning Show at WFHR.
Welcome back everyone, Morning Show at WFHR, locally grown radio.
Seth and James hanging out with you, thanks so much for hanging out with us.
And a big thank you to Nice and Ace for joining us in our Pet of the Week, be listening
next Thursday for another edition of the Pet of the Week.
Spud's McKenzie, that's who I was trying to think of.
Seth remembered.
Yes, I did.
That's the dog.
He looks like that kind of dog, right?
Got a little spud in him.
Got a little spud McKenzie in him and everything.
That's a cool dog.
Be sure to check him out at their great website, SWCHS.com, head on over there every
buddy, diving into some entertainment news and some local news that we want to touch
on again.
This is like, I know that the big story and everything is a tailor in Travis getting
engaged and all that, wish them well, Mazeltoff, yep.
The story that I, the more relationship story that I think a lot of people found more
interesting actually was Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson.
They were recently seen holding hands and doing a number of things while they were promoting
the new movie Naked Gun, the new remake of the Naked Gun and everything, which by the
way, a lot of people have raved about and it's gotten really good reviews.
And it's going gangbusters too, man, in the box office.
And whether you're a fan of that or not, I'm a fan of comedies getting back into movies
in the theaters.
We got away from that because theater companies, not every comedy was a hit and they freaked
out and so they're just going with standards and everything.
But when's the last great comedy that was released in movie theaters, they stopped
doing it.
I hope that this comes back.
It could.
I hope that it brings it back.
They could do it.
Even if it's IP related or whatever.
Sure.
Just bring comedies back, man.
We need a lot and we never need it after more.
Bring comedy back.
So Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson, we're lying to us.
The romance was allegedly just a classic Hollywood PR stunt to help sell tickets for the Naked
Gun reboot.
Oh, a source says quote, the chemistry was real on camera, but off it was strictly business.
Pamela Anderson is a pro, Liam Neeson is a pro.
They knew learning, leaning into the rumors would get attention.
Now I don't know, we haven't heard from them about this.
So I don't, this isn't coming from any necessarily reputable source or anything like that.
I'm not even seeing anybody, like, they're not even giving a website to necessarily go
to for this, these stories and everything or where they're pulling this information from.
I want to say, and I don't like being lied to and I don't like those things or anything.
But if this is true and it was fake, well done, well done, well done, got us on this
one.
And I would love to hear like the acting nerd in me would love to know if they were actually
doing real acting off stage and stuff in this or they were just being friendly because
they got along during filming.
They really had good chemistry in the scenes that I've seen and stuff, they've done a
really, they did a really good job together and as a side note, like I think by now most
people aren't surprised by Liam Neeson, like you shouldn't be, if you are, that's on
you.
He's already shown us what he can do and that he's capable of a lot of great things.
I actually think his funniest moment in TV history is in the movie Dark Man when he's,
he will come in the bottom.
It's not a comedy, but it's very hilarious to me.
I don't know what it is.
When it comes to Pamela Anderson, I am very happy for her and her showing her comedy
chops and that she can do comedy very well and that she's gotten a second act here.
I always thought that she started out as an actor.
That's where she got her start, right?
Yeah, watching almost.
That's what she wanted to be.
Right.
And then all the celebrity stuff came along and she got caught up in that.
She wanted to do that, I don't know, but it became, she became more of a punchline, really.
Yeah.
Then as a, as anyone who was taken seriously and maybe now she'll get a second chance
to do that a little bit more, you know, even if it's in comedic roles like this.
But she's always been an actor.
We have to remember that.
Yeah.
So she started.
Yeah.
It's kind of cool to see.
Yeah.
And regardless, either way, either way, it's still even a fake relationship, isn't as
cringy as the Bill Belichick and Jordan Hudson relationship.
No.
This one that I don't, I don't like, I don't like judging these things.
I don't like getting another people's hearts or wallets, I don't like either one of those
things.
I'll be completely real.
This is the first one that just there's something about it that's weird and yucky and weird
and yes, a tacky almost.
And this is maybe the evidence of this.
If I'm in a court of law, I'm like, this is why it's cringy.
They just filed a trademark on the phrase gold digger to use for jewelry and key chains.
Her apple and she filed it.
Her application hasn't been reviewed yet, but they are, it is in the works of them trying
to copyright the term gold digger.
And I'm sure there's some kind of like, you know, wink wink nudge nudge thing here going
on that they're trying to lean into, but it's not working.
It just makes it worse.
It just makes it worse.
You never hear people try to do do sarcasm, but they're really bad at it.
That's what this feels like.
Yeah.
It feels like this.
You know, what you said is valid, James, you know, about, you know, not, I mean, people
doing what they're going to do, you know, we've seen this before, May, December, whatever
you want to call it, romances, that kind of thing.
They're happy.
They're happy.
Right.
But you still are going to react to it in a certain way.
And that's okay, too.
You can have feelings that are like, oh, and the part that makes it seem so weird to me
is that everything seems so calculated.
Yeah.
Like, like, this is a thing like, it's like, I don't know.
I know there's just something weird about it that just seems off.
Yeah.
You know, it didn't happen organically.
It really does feel that way.
It's, so with the Taylor and Travis thing, I get that if people don't care about it,
I get people are interested in it other than their fan bases.
But I think one of the things about it, you can look at it and say, well, sure, you
could say that they're together for PR.
Do you really think either one of these individuals have needed PR ever in their careers?
How many Super Bowls has Travis Kelsey won?
This Kelsey was doing a ton of commercials before.
Yeah, he was already doing stuff and let me just double check how popular Taylor Swift
is.
Oh, my computer broke.
My computer broke.
Yeah, yeah.
So popular people in the world.
Yeah.
It doesn't need PR.
It's the conspiracy theorist that I heard, oh, she's doing this so she could get NFL
fans.
Do you really think the NFL needs Taylor Swift more than the vice versa of that?
Seriously.
I don't think you understand how popular this human being is.
No.
This is a human being we would never have heard of if she was not dating somebody
famous.
Exactly.
And maybe one day in her career or her life, something happens who knows, but right
now as it is as a 27 year old, 24 year old, 24, yeah, we would not have known of her
other than this.
Can you believe Bill Bouchick could have grandkids older than her?
Now, I do think there's a line in the sand on this stuff because when it comes to the
idea of, okay, if they have to keep this private, they deserve that privacy.
They deserve all of that.
That's right.
Privacy leave alone.
That ain't your business.
You ain't dating them.
You know, you're very relative.
What does it matter to you?
But as soon as you start going as public as they have with it, all bets are off.
I'm sorry.
You're a public figure now, yeah.
As people who live in the public eye, as somebody who understands that world a little
bit.
And I'm not saying for me, I mean, being in the acting world in the entertainment world,
you're being around a lot of famous people.
I look at Robert Downey Jr. as an example of this all the time.
This is a guy who, he's not putting on heirs.
Like what you see in interviews, that's really who he has people, right?
And he is contagious that way.
But he treats everybody that way.
And I cannot stress that enough.
We had people that were at two in the morning on this bridge.
It's not pouring rain, but it's drizzling rain.
And there are people that just want to watch this and just in everything.
He's going up to them and talking to them.
Even those kind of, he was thanking them for, hey, thanks a lot and when the movie comes
out, make sure to go see it and stuff like that.
Like, there's genuineness there.
With so much of this, you know, your gut's telling you, there's something not good off.
Something raw fear.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't see this ending well.
I don't see them riding off into the sunset together, especially with the age difference.
Honestly, Bill Bell checked it.
He got a job in the NFL.
That's really what he wants and that's really what he needed.
Do we, do we, you know, at a certain point, though, and I don't know that this is it.
I don't know that this is the example, but I do wonder sometimes when we're talking about
age differences of people at a certain point, are we just like making a mountain, a mountain
out of a mole hill, where in this day and age, I don't know that it matters as much as
it did back in the 50s, 60s and 70s and some of that where there was such a gigantic difference
in this.
To me, it's about maturity and it's about, you know, how old your brain is, right, as opposed
to some of those other things.
There is a line in the sand in this, everybody, and I can always say this enough.
Please understand, I am stressing the line in the sand, but it's vitally important.
But I think that as with something we have to talk about as society, because we're seeing
more and more of this, and I'm talking like a 20 year difference, a 10 year difference
in ages and stuff, and nothing illegal, obviously, that is not only, we're sitting
in a wrong, specific about this, yes, man, really walked into something there.
Well, what I was doing, what I was doing, why did he bring that up?
I got to bring this one up, this is the segway of all segways, okay, Harrison Ford and
Jay Leno are really close, they've been friends for a long time, Harrison Ford does not
like doing a lot of interviews, but when he meets somebody he gets along with and somebody
that gets him, they get along, and so they've been friends for a while, and they are so close
that they help each other out with very specific bathroom issues.
Harrison has a toilet in Wyoming, in his Wyoming house, that has a disc colored and unattractive
seat, and the problem is that particular one is, he's very fond of this toilet, he likes
this toilet.
He likes it the way it is.
So it's incredibly important, so important that he is having Jay Leno, Jay Leno made
him a 3D printed seat.
He calls Jay up and tells him this, and Jay's like, well, I got to have 3D printed over
here, no?
He doesn't have voice change for voice, and so Harrison says, quote, he embraced the project
in a way that I thought I never could have imagined.
People appeared from the depths of the shadows that got involved in it, so Jay Leno's garage
got involved in this, and this has got to be one of the most interesting toilet seats
of all time.
Oh, it must be.
Wow.
They really went to work on this thing.
I love this.
This is what Harrison Ford talks about.
So the interviewer, especially, is trying to get him to talk about his faith in some of
those things, and Harrison Ford being the master of interviews, because he really is.
He's so nonchalant and organic about it.
You don't realize this is orchestrated.
He's thinking this through.
He's thinking it through.
He's very smart.
He's a very smart man.
I would be very surprised if at any point in his career, or going forward, did you ever
get Harrison Ford to spill something he didn't mean to?
Right.
He is private, but he also understands the industry.
Hey, people come to see these movies because of the actors in the main part.
I got to put myself out there a little bit.
I got to do some of these things.
So he's done a really good job of that in his career, while also just being himself
man, sharing too much.
The masters of this, Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Robert Downey Jr., another good example.
These are guys that they understand.
They need to be out there in a certain extent.
But they also know that they want to be private.
They want to have their own thing as well, just like anyone else, anyone else would like
to do.
They're the ones that find that balancing act, are able to do it, to keep their private
stuff private, but still be accessible to people out in the community, people who want
to see them.
This is not people who are trying to take them down, or something like that.
These are fans.
They just want to know a little bit more about them, so.
Well done.
But well done by him.
They did a few suggestions for you.
You are a treasure.
You're a national treasure.
We're going to get to a bunch of stuff to look forward to with your Thursday evening.
But one thing that I just wanted to throw out there, new on your small screen tonight,
there's a new episode of Star Trek Strings and Worlds on Paramount, a new episode of
Peacemaker and HBO Max.
But the one that's premiering today on Netflix is the Thursday Murder Club, and listen to
this lineup.
Okay.
Helen Marin, Pierce Bronson, Ben Kingsley.
Oh.
All fantastic actors.
I don't care.
I do not care if this is good or not.
I really, I hope it's good.
I'd like it to be good, but it doesn't matter to me.
I'm still going to watch it because they're fabulous people in it.
Those actors working together, I never would have placed them in a thing together, but
man, that's great.
I've said before, I think Ben and the Cumberbatch is the best actor working in the game
right now.
But as far as I'm talking about what he's currently doing and how he is currently,
where he is at his career and stuff, but if you're talking, you want to see the greatest
actor working right now, I'm looking at Merrill Streep or I'm looking at Helen Marin.
And so just to see Helen Marin, let alone Ben Kingsley, who's one of the finest actors
you'll ever see.
Right.
And Pierce Bronson, who's really come to show that, hey, I have acting chops, I just never
got to use them.
Right.
Yeah.
But they're all right now.
But all of that time of life were, man, they could all retire if they wanted to, but
obviously, they want to keep doing it working.
And this looks really interesting.
Yeah.
Interesting.
You say retire.
They play retirees who solve cold cases for fun, but then accidentally stumble across
a real murder at the retirement village.
Of course.
They're taking a little, there's a little page out of only murders in the middle of the
year.
And I think that's cool.
I like that.
They've kind of taken out the young person and the podcast part of them.
You're absolutely right.
They're similar.
Yeah.
They do.
I watch that.
It sounds like it's fun.
Wanted to mention some of our scheduling and some of the things we have lined up for you.
Of course, right here at WFHR, you have the kickoff, the Wisconsin Badger football season.
Tonight.
Football.
Tonight it starts.

I really should.
Get to flippin.

I'll give you a percentage.
But yeah.
Flip between the two.
Easiest way to do that is the Civic Media app.
Yep.
And we know that here that's part of our job is checking our stations and everything.
It literally takes a half a second if that to flip to a station.
It's really cool.
I encourage you to do that and support these sports and our stations and thank you so much
to our partners out there, our sponsors of high school sports.
We greatly appreciate you.
And your badgers too.
Yep.
Six sponsors is here.
Yeah.

I love it.
I love it.
Coming up on the morning show.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There we go.
Want to play that one.
Welcome back everybody.
Morning show here at WFHR.
Locally grown radio.
I hope you're all having a good one out there.
Thanks so much for joining us over here.
Seth and James hanging out with you.
And got an interesting one for us to dive into here.
Okay.
I admit that I went a little themy today with our animals and remembering animals and
our pet of the week from the South of County Main Society, shout out to Ace and Denise
for joining us.
I have here a list of dog theme songs that made the top 40 on the billboard hot 100.
Very cool.
Can't believe I was able to get through that every day.
I did.
You did it.
Numbers in me, man.
All right.
So this is a billboard put together a list of the top 40 hits with dog inspired titles
or lyrics.
Okay.
Great.
And here they are in chronological order.
So we'll start from 1960.
We'll move on down.
Okay.
All right.
Let's do it.
So we're looking at these in from 1960, Paul Enka with Puppy Love.
I remember the refrain, I think, from this one a little bit.
Yeah.
Puppy Love.
There you go.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Not one of his biggest hits, but yeah.
Not bad.
Not bad.
Definitely counts.
Yep.
Definitely counts.
It fits the bill.
How about dog and around from the great Jackie Wilson?
All right.
Yeah.
Not the love in me around, man.
That voice.
Oh.
Forget it.
The way he did it.
Oh, I feel like in between listening to Jackie Wilson, I forget how impressive that voice
is.
I mean, it's one of the best of all time.
It's really good.
Absolutely.
I don't know if I knew that one.
I know.
I was not overly familiar with that either, but it was a hit for him.
That's got to cool.
I was about walking the dog from Rufus Thomas from 1963.
I don't wait.
Yeah.
Hang on there.
There we go.
There we go.
There we go.
There.
Oh.
Maybe back.
Dressed and blind.
All right.
All right.
I love Rufus Thomas.
I love Rufus Thomas.
He's great.
Another one that doesn't get talked about too often.
No.
He was the first big star for the the stacks label back in Memphis.
He was the first big one.
He was a DJ too.
So, yeah.
Oh, that's right.
He was.
He started out as a DJ, yeah.
That's right.
My main man, Marvin Gaye, from 1965.
I will be dog.
Gone.
Hmm.
Oh.
This intro.
Classic Marvin.
Oh.
Oh, man.
Dog on is a funny phrase.
I love it, though.
I love it.
Yeah.
I love it.
We need a comic book.
Yeah.
There is one of my favorite, if not my favorite, Langston Hughes poem.
He brings, he uses dog.
Oh, he does.
Oh, yeah.
And I was, I was always awesome.
I believe it was written a little bit before, a little bit after.
After this song.
Right.
And I've always been curious if these two knew of the other.
Yeah.
And if there was any influence in that.
It's possible.
Very possible.
Very possible.
Marvin Gaye and Langston Hughes certainly could have crossed paths at some point.
Right.
Or at the least appreciated each other's art.
Yes.
African American art is after the 1920s was greatly, and I didn't know this until recently.
How influenced it was by Langston Hughes.
I mean, he had a huge cultural influence, which is really cool.
And I didn't know that.
To this day.
Oh, boy.
We go from what that to.
They're coming to take me away.
From Napoleon, the, what, 14th?
The 14th, I believe.
Yeah.
From 1966.
I always forget how old this song is.
So the lyrics are about a narrator who appears to be addressing and lost love.
However, the final verse reveals that the narrator is not addressing a woman, but
a runaway dog.
That is correct.
I don't know if I knew that.
This is the last line where he says something like, I'll call the ASPCA, you main G mutt.
And that's how, you know, he's talking about a dog.
Yeah, it just says right there.
Yeah, yeah.
I didn't call that before.
Good catch.
Good catch.
I kind of knew this one was going to show up at some point.
Snoopy and the verse, the Red Baron, the Royal Guardsman's song from 1967.
Yeah, love it.
It's great song.
Great song.
Anything that references Snoopy and the Red Baron?
I love it.
Yeah.
I could never decide, you know, who to root for between Snoopy and the Red Baron.
Oh, come on now.
If you're laughing at that, thank you so much, everybody.
Thank you.
You're the best.
All gone right from the legend Smoky Robinson and the miracles from 1969.
The more more moat at Motown.
Yeah, I love the Motown.
If you didn't know, you knew by the bass line.
Yeah, yeah.
Classic bass lines and almost every, you know, Motown song.
Yeah.
I don't know if I know this one.
It's a little bit later in there.
It wasn't a big head, but no, but it's got smoky.
I mean, it's got smoky singing, the thing that, or whatever that, I can't remember what
that's called.
I love that noise though.
Yeah.
It's good.
Um, me and you and the dog named Boo.
Oh, we all know this one, right?
From Lobo from 1971.
Wait, what?
The guy's name was Lobo.
Yeah, I didn't know that.
I'll let you honest.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, no, that one, that one, that one, that one.
That was a big, that was a big, big head to actually stuff of all these.
I think that was the biggest one, uh, maybe, uh, or to this point, yes, yes, uh, because
now we have it number nine black dog from Led Zeppelin from 1972.
This intro.
Oh, good stuff.
The production on Led Zeppelin songs.
I wonder how many times I've played this in my radio career.
If I go back to my classic rock days, but it just said that's funny.
I played it now.
Oh, man.
One of their better songs, not really referencing dogs or anything like that.
It's just the title.
It's just the title on that one.
Zeppelin would do that from time to time.
Where there was just, they would never mention anything, but the title would be different
from the lyrics.
Yes, yes.
They did that actually quite a bit now that I think about it.
Yeah.
Uh, how about, uh, let's see here.
I just want to keep playing Led Zeppelin now.
How about Shannon from Henry Gross from 1976?
It made the list because it was written about the death of a pet dog that belonged to
Beach Boys member Carl Wilson.
Oh, interesting.
Never heard of it.
Yeah.
Huh.
Let's see here.
Oh, okay.
What the?
What's that?
What's that?
Wow.
I don't know if I've ever heard that song before.
I don't know.
Don't know.
I have to look that one up.
Uh, another one that was kind of waiting for, uh, the next couple of ones actually, at
number 11, Dog and Butterfly from Hart.
Oh, okay.
Yes.
Early Hart.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's one that, uh, sneaks up on you.
You forget about in the Hart library.
It's a very pretty song.
Yeah.
Uh, and it doesn't necessarily hit a lot of their other songs that will come later in
everything.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And they get more into the guitar and some of the dirtier guitar and some of that stuff.
Very cool.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is a pretty song.
Very pretty.
Yes.
Um, I would say that if I was looking for, hey, what can I, if I want to tell people the
harmonies, the, the, the, the, the range that these amazing Wilson sisters have.
Yep.
This is probably the song I bring up.
Yes.
Amazing musicians.
Yeah.
Never get the credit, by the way.
No.
No.
They deserve it.
I never will.
No.
I mean, if they didn't get it after the Kennedy honors and doing the Zeppelin song and
making Robert Plant and Jimmy Page cry, I don't know if they'll ever get the credit they deserve.
They should.
I mean, for being trailblazers in hard rock, there was no women in hard rock and they brought
it to.
I mean, come on.
Anyway.
Good song.
We got Chris.
Who let the dog out from the bar, men from 2000?
Oh, no.
Gotta get that one in there.
And I am not going to play any of it because you know that song.
You know that one.
Yeah.
But we just referenced her and it is her birthday.
So we will play this one.
We got to play this one.
A little bit of this one.
Yeah.
This is from 2010.
I don't, I keep getting old this morning.
I know.
It's over 10 years old.
Oh, that is wild.
Yes.
That's really wild.
Well, she really gets going in this song and just starts wailing.
Yes.
Yeah.
Her range is insane to me.
Yeah.
What she does.
I don't mean to make it sound like she is the greatest singer I've ever heard.
But she is up there.
She is amazing.
She is amazing.
She can do stuff with that instrument that a lot of people can do.
But another one we can't play because of some words in it.
But we do have Leon Thomas with mutt from 2025.
Okay.
It's all recent.
Wow.
Yeah, we are.
Okay.
We do have a bit of a recent example right there.
So people are still writing songs like that.
I have to do an honorable mention here.
They miss it.
I'm kind of surprised.
The song Shiloh by Neil Diamond.
Okay.
That is about a dog as well.
If you listen to the words he is talking about a pet dog.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's a good one.
That's good one.
I know the one you are talking about.
That's the one you are talking about.
Yeah it's good ones too.
Yes.
I'm a little surprised that Snoop Dogg didn't show up on the list.
Like just any Snoop Dogg song.
Of course.
Of course.
Of course he is.
That's his name.
I suppose.
But do you have songs that I'm about dogs at one point?
Yeah.
So you have songs that I'm about dogs?
Do you have a favorite song about animals or dogs or anything like that?
Let us know.
We would love to hear it.
You can text us or call us to the Civic Media app, or just call them up.
Well now I can't do this for suffice in the music because we did it.
Now.
Not for him.
Dang it.
I'm so sorry.
I apologize.
I'm glad you did that though.
You do not realize that you just set me up.
When we come back we're going to get in some local events and some things going on in their
area.
This is our last show together for the week and from next couple of days.
So I wanted to highlight some of our weekend shows.
Okay.
And I wanted to congratulate you.
This weekend will be your four year anniversary of Seth Faces.
It is.
That is correct.
Congratulations.
Wow.
I get this right here.
Get the winter bell here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There we go.
There we go.
It's an official celebration.
Yeah.
It's been a heck of a ride, man.
I got to tell you that much.
Well, and I think that you really did something there because we encouraged the audience to
send Seth ideas.
You got themes that you want to see.
I have got to show you good ones over the years.
I have to say it's been fun.
Keep it up.
Yeah.
Keep it up everybody.
Yeah.
And you keep it up, man.
Keep up the good work because we appreciate it.
It's great stuff.
You know, it's funny.
I've done, you know, a hundred some shows four years and then I realized there's still so
many topics out there that I can choose from.
So yeah.
It's not going to end any time.
So until they tell me I can't do it anymore, it's going to be good for a while.
Join us every Sunday for our amazing lineup.
We've got Trail Directors Playhouse for you at five to six from six to eight.
We will have, yes, six to eight, set face to the music.
Then you got unlabeled after that from eight to nine and three Sundays a month.
You'll have burned before listening or a show after that.
Otherwise this Sunday we got masters of mystery.
Yes, we do.
Another fantastic interesting show.
I would really encourage you to check that out if you've not done so.
It is really interesting to find out all these authors and how they, the creative process
of writing mysteries.
It's really cool.
They do it live too.
It's so cool.
They're here live radio.
You just don't, I feel like I haven't heard that in a long time.
What was it?
The one out of Minnesota, the guy that used to do our, this old, uh, a pretty home companion
with, uh, with like, there's a killer.
I was kind of like that about.
Yeah.
That was one of the things that drew the show and everything.
So I think that's cool.
Check it out everybody.
And stick around.
We'll wrap up the show for a Thursday here coming up on the morning show at WFHR.
Welcome back everybody.
Morning show here at WFHR.
Really grown radio.
Your last show of the week.
One of the play a little more.
They might be giants.
Play my favorite band.
Yeah.
That's nice.
Not the one I meant to play.
Not the one I meant to play.
That's okay.
I'm more, I'm always ready for more than they might be giants.
Live radio, baby.
Nothing like it.
Nothing like it.
It's frustrated as I will be by that all day.
Oh my God.
He would have hit the wrong button.
Oh well.
Appreciate y'all joining us.
I'll wrap it up the show for the day, but we didn't want to touch on our schedule one
more time.
Now of course, coming up, uh, at the top of the hour, you'll get nothing but great civic
media programming lined up for you.
Be sure to check that out and check out the rapids report today at WFHR.com.
We've got a great list of guests for you today in part one.
We're going to talk to our friend Kayla Rumbalski, the community development educator with
UW Division Extension Wood County.
Yes.
Looking forward to talking with Kayla a little bit later.
And later after that, we will have our friend's family, really family natural foods.
Nice.
Even a Katrina.
Or we'll be with us.
Yeah.
Catch up with them and all the great things that they got going on over at the shop.
Buy local support, local support.
Our friends like family natural foods who have supported businesses like ours and this
community for a very long time.
Yes.
And of course, as I mentioned earlier, and Seth and I mentioned earlier, right here at
WFHR at six o'clock was Contra Badger Football hosting Miami of Ohio on 105, 5WIRI at 650,
Rice Lake at Lincoln, high school football.
Yes.
We are thick.
We're in the thick of it now, man.
Catch it.
Everybody.
It's good stuff.
Uh, today is our final lunch by the river.
Oh, another sign that's summer's ending now.
So we encourage you to, for one, get on over right now to the farmer's market that's
happening.
That's going on.
We encourage you to check that out.
And then stroll on over to the Veterans Memorial Park and check out lunch by the river.
Our final one of the season, a big shout out to all of these sponsors, the main sponsors,
all of you food trucks out there.
Yeah.
Thank you for that.
Yeah.
All the entertainers.
And certainly this community is supporting lunch by the river.
It's one of our favorite events.
I love this one every year.
We purposely try to make sure we're a part of it as a station because we love the event
so much.
And appreciate the chamber and the great work that they do with this one.
Mm-hmm.
Check it out today.
Their entertainment creepers car club.
I mean, that's so cool.
Lisa was so excited about this.
She was like popping out of her seat.
She was so excited to talk about it and everything.
That's pretty cool.
It's a cool combination of a car show along with this.
As we lose more and more of our car shows, I like the way that we're incorporating things
like this.
Yeah.
Check it out.
Lunch by the river going on today from 1130 to 1 over a beautiful Veterans Memorial
Park.
And again, be sure to support the farmer's market that is going on, of course, as well.
And one of the remind everybody that focuses, neighborhood meals are available every Thursday,
430 to 545.
The dining room opens about 415.
You'll enter through the pantry and they'll take care of you after that.
Shout out to Spirehawk Trucking, sharing their building with our friends at Focus, and
a big thank you to Focus and the important impactful work that they are doing over there.
Nobody in our community should be hungry.
Nobody.
No.
Focus is doing their best.
The community is doing its best to help with that.
That's right.
Great work by them.
As much as we try to cover this and talk about it, we all know that word of mouth goes
farther than anything.
It does.
So if you know people that could probably use this, and let's be honest, we're Midwesterners,
we don't ask for help.
We don't do it.
But you know somebody that might be in need of this.
Mention it.
Mention it casually.
Mention it in conversation.
It doesn't even have to be directed at them.
You know, respect their pride, respect who they are as people, and just get them some food.
Spread the word about this.
Also encourage you to spread the word about this one, especially because Seth wants to live
vicariously through you.
I know.
I know.
I can't make it to this one tonight.
I'm so sad.
But live music, the McMillan concert series, rolls on everyone at seven o'clock tonight
in the Fine Arts Center at the McMillan Library.
John Gorka will be performing live.
He is an extremely talented folk artist.
He's been around for a long time within his nation well known.
He's had write-ups in Rolling Stone.
He's had write-ups in the New York Times and all these things.
He has just, but I would say put all that aside and just listen to some of his music because
not only does he have a fantastic voice, he's a very fun and funny songwriter as well.
And I cannot say enough about John Gorka.
So go see him for free tonight at the library, everyone.
You will not be disappointed.
By the way, they also are doing a special promotion at the library.
They have buttons for each of the concerts that they're doing, which is really cool.
So you get a button too.
Be sure to check that out.
Very cool, yeah.
Support that, everybody.
Check that out.
That's going to be pretty cool.
I wanted to mention this real quick as well.
Yeah, the Edge of Rapids car truck bike and race show is coming up at our good friends at
Edge VR.
That's where they're doing that.
It's at 3540, plover road.
It's happening on Saturday.
Trophies will be awarded for the top three in each class, starts at around 10 a.m.
There is no entry fee.
So just go out, hang out, have fun, listen to music, show off your ride.
You're going to be doing free race car simulations as well from 11 to 230 p.m. and free VR demos
from 10 to 230 as well.
And of course, we had them here for our party.
If you haven't checked it out, it's a lot of fun.
It's so much fun.
VR is a lot of fun.
So there will be pizza and soda available for purchase inside the building and there's
going to be music from 10 to 3.
So it's a all day thing, all afternoon thing.
Check it out, everyone, and help support our friends at Edge VR.
Yeah, big shout out to them.
We appreciate them.
And we are getting into the last days of your book been over there.
Oh, I know at the Moravian Church, you only have September 15th.
I mean, it's almost here already.
I can't believe it.
But yes, they're still accepting used books at the Moravian Church at 310 First Avenue
South, the parking lot just off of Goggin Street by the glass doors.
So if you're heading down to them, the farmers market, it's right there.
You can drop those off on your way.
And of course, this is all for the book sale happening October 9th through the 11th and
the proceeds to that go to support scholarships at mid-state.
Be sure to support that, everybody.
And thank you to you guys for doing that and you still got a little bit of time to get
those books.
Still got a little bit of time.
But don't wait.
Don't wait.
We were talking about McMillan before a quick reminder, everybody, that tomorrow from
10 a.m. to 3 o'clock, McMillan Library will be hosting a blood drive at 490 East Grand
Avenue.
If you're able, we appreciate you donating.
Thank you so much to everybody who has already donated this summer.
Yes.
That's been greatly appreciated.
A couple of big good stories from around the world.
This one, taking us up north to Minnesota.
Oh, okay.
And this happened last month, but it's in the news after today's show did a story on it.
The owner of a pizza place in Minneapolis called Pizza Man saw people digging through his
dumpster for food and it broke his heart.
So we decided to do something about it.
He posted on Facebook and said, please do not eat out of my dumpster.
Nobody deserves that.
If you are there, if you are that desperate for food, please come and ask.
He also said he'd start leaving cheese pizza outside the back door for anyone to embarrass
to ask IE what I was saying before about Midwesterns.
He told a reporter, he just couldn't sit in a building full of food and watch somebody
starve in his parking lot.
In the last month, he says he has helped around 100 people and he's not only helping
one, helping only one helping folks have donated over $4,000 online to help out people
in this situation.
How about that?
He's using some of the money to cover the costs of the free pizzas and he's donating
the rest to food banks.
Oh, I mean.
That's a hero, right?
That's just taking it in your own hands.
You know, he had the means and he just went with it.
Wow, great story.
Great story and good show.
Good job, man.
Yeah, it's fun.
Be good to each other out there.
