Investing What Now? (Hour 1)

Good morning, Wisconsin. Morning world. It's a new day.

Welcome to the morning show. Have your host James behind the mic.

Join by our head of news, our co-host Melissa K. Good morning.

Head of production and co-host Seth Habhager. Good morning.

And the best listeners and radio. Thanks for being everybody.

Hope you all are having a great one. Hope you made it through the weekend.

All right. We are going to give you a good start to the week.

We got the LKFA birthday anniversary club right around the corner.

We're going to get into that a little bit afterwards.

We got a new term. We got to get into clock botching.

Clock botching.

Clock botching.

Thought it was clock botching.

I'll see how botching would be fun.

It's not what I thought it was.

And a little bit after that, we will get into dictionary.com adding a ton of new words.

So we have a new phrase and some new words to get to before the end of the hour.

Very cool.

All that coming up will also get into fun in the 10 o'clock hour.

Because it's a Monday. You know what that means.

We'll be joined by Beth in the kitchen's open.

Indeed. Big shout out to our friends at the hotel meet for that.

We appreciate them.

We'll also have some entertainment news for you.

We'll dive into including our national day of counter.

We're going to talk about that a little bit.

Okay.

All those things coming up and before we end the hour.

Six medieval health tips that sound like tick tock hacks.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

No, this could be bad.

Yeah.

It could be very interesting.

Along with all that, of course, we'll get to our schedule.

Good stories of the day and of course touch on some local events that we have going on.

But I didn't.

I wanted to start somewhere.

But I have to pull an audible.

Oh, all right.

I have to pull an audible.

Something that came up over the weekend.

Are your arms the most worthless thing when you're trying to sleep?

Where's my detachable arms?

Yes.

Seven one five four two four twenty six hundred caller text us through the civic media app.

Let us know.

Are your arms the most worthless thing when you are trying to sleep?

They truly are.

Aren't they?

They're really just getting away.

They just do.

They just do.

You know, arms in general, very helpful.

Very helpful to have.

You know, good for grasping, carrying things.

You know, that's what they're there for.

Bouncing while you're walking, right?

I apologize.

I apologize.

I don't want to come across the wrong way.

I'm pro arms.

I really am.

I believe arms are great.

But you know, there's a downside, you know, for lots of things.

I think we found the ones from arms.

Just had to throw that out there.

Kind of, kind of love to hear from the audience on that one.

Seven one five four two four twenty six hundred caller text through the civic media app.

And it kind of ties into where we're going to begin for this week.

There are two types of trips.

The active vacations where you spend as little time as possible in the hotel.

In the relaxing ones where you spend as many mornings sleeping in as you can.

I think both are both necessary.

Both seem necessary.

You know, and I think they're both a good idea.

Right.

I thought of the arm thing when I was actually trying to fall asleep.

And one of the things I was doing to try to get myself to relax was trying to think

of being out of vacation somewhere.

And then it quickly turned into just sleeping.

Like just sleeping.

Not even sleeping in.

Just sleeping.

Like the entire time, right?

I'm not kidding.

I didn't sleep a second last night.

I didn't sleep at all.

So right now, just like an hour, sleep's nice.

Let alone sleep.

But as you're trying to lay there and your arms just keep getting in the way.

And I don't know what to do with the left one.

I never know what to do with the left one.

So according to a new report, 47% of Americans would pay more for a vacation that helps them sleep.

And 38% would be interested in a vacation that, quote, designed to improve their sleep.

Oh, yeah.

That'd be fun.

Oh, wow.

Got plenty more to get to on this article.

But I think that says a lot about our work ethic and how much we're working.

To the point where we were looking at, you know, something like this as a vacation.

I know I have a pretty twisted version of what a vacation is.

But even I understand that, you know, taking a class on sleeping or something doesn't necessarily.

But if it has time off, you know, yeah, yeah.

37% of people say that they've used paid off days in the past year just to catch up on sleep.

Oh.

And Millennial.

I was curious.

Well, for Melissa.

I didn't want to put either of you on the spot, but I was curious if that was the case.

Thanks for sharing that, though.

Millennials are most likely to say that they are the ones doing this.

So you're hip, Melissa.

So you're with the Millennials, I guess.

If you're looking for a sleepy getaway, the report named Portland, Oregon, the most, quote, well-rested city.

It offers strong wellness, support, cleaner air, and better access to rest-friendly environments.

Ah, see now that I can understand.

And then check this out, everybody.

Make sure to make sure to spread the word on this.

Madison, Wisconsin, and St. Paul, Minnesota scored that number two in number three on the list.

Really.

That's awesome.

So all that fun that manyapolis people have been making of St. Paul these years, they're getting better sleep than you are.

Minneapolis.

Ah, take that.

And the city we believe in, we call Madtown.

Yeah.

It is actually quite quiet.

It's, you know, resting.

Good for sleeping.

Yeah, that's cool.

And the one that threw me off the most was Philadelphia ranked as the sleepiest city.

Like what?

Oh, Philly.

Philly.

Maybe you're exhausted.

Yes.

All that brotherly love, you know.

It makes you so tired.

Laredo, Texas, and Jersey City, New Jersey, also scored poorly.

Philly, I'm sorry.

I had that on the opposite side.

Philly is the sleepiest city.

They need sleep the most.

Right.

They need the most sleep brand.

Yeah.

Okay.

That makes a lot more Jersey City is.

Okay.

So that one.

Laredo?

Yeah.

Laredo.

That's weird.

Really?

Too many cows?

Are the cows really noisy?

They're all the cattle there.

They are too busy singing the new Laney Wilson song.

They are singing that song.

24-7.

Yeah, 24-7.

She mentioned that.

I haven't heard somebody sing the word Laredo before.

She does it really well.

She does that really well.

The report focuses on local lifestyles and visitor amenities.

They, oh man, I don't even know how I just bring out the amenities.

You did that.

I just brought it off.

I'm getting credit for being able to do my job.

You can read.

They looked at the average sleep per night.

Availability of wellness practice practitioners, environmental factors, access to green space,

and work life balance.

Okay.

All great categories.

Those are all good things.

Of course not everyone can afford to go to sleep retreats.

People who are earning six figures are 26% more likely to use PTO days to catch up on sleep

than those who make less than 100K.

Because they can afford it.

Right.

Right.

Exactly.

We did a story this morning on the sunrise show on 105-5 where we were talking about Ella Langley

taking some time off.

Yes.

And so much needed.

I'm very happy for her.

She's back at it now and everything.

But it does make me think when I hear things like that, the people that can.

And there's so many people out there that could use to do that they can afford to.

That's right.

Exactly.

You can't stop.

But sleep travel could be an emerging trend.

People have been googling getaways like wellness travel, sleep resort, and quiet vacation.

Quiet vacation.

That sounds good.

In fact, quiet vacation is one of the most searched terms when it comes to searching for vacations

that we have seen in the last week.

10-5 years.

That's really cool.

So this has been going on for a while, too.

Including sleep-related experiences like sound therapy, sleep coaches, sleep tracking,

aromatherapy, sleeping outdoors, and digital detoxes.

Oh, okay.

Not a big deal with that, man.

Okay.

Makes sense.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Which one of these sounds most interesting to all of you out there or into you, too, of course?

Do any of those sound interesting?

Sound, too.

Yeah.

The sound one sounded interesting.

Okay.

Because I'm a sound guy.

And I think that'd be really interesting to follow up on, actually.

Yeah.

But would you be able to sleep or rest?

You'd be so focused on the sound part.

I think I would.

Yeah.

If you find the right thing for me, for anyone I think, honestly, it helps.

You know, I doesn't guarantee anything.

But I think if you find the thing that helps relax you sound wise, I think it helps a lot.

Well, and there's a lot of, for a lot of us, we have...

Okay, I'll just speak for myself.

My brain doesn't like shut down.

It just keeps going all the time.

Right.

There's always something playing in there.

It's a song.

It's a line from a movie.

There's something on repeat and loop all the time.

So to get that to be quiet, I usually do some kind of sound therapy as I go to sleep at night.

Usually it's my audio book.

There you go.

And it's one that I've listened to over and over and over.

What I would like to try is float therapy.

Ooh.

So it's like a sensory deprivation therapy.

It's just a shallow tank.

And you lay in this dark and silent environment and you just relax.

That sounds awesome.

It kind of does.

It made a movie, altered states about that.

Didn't they?

Yeah.

Get it.

No way.

No way.

Okay, well, don't rush the movie.

Wait a minute for me, Seth.

Nice job.

Sorry.

That's just what I do, I guess.

I think it sounds amazing, Melissa.

And I not only myself, but I imagine there's a number of people out there that can relate to what you were talking about before that about not being able to shut your brain off.

And there are ways, you know, I can flip a switch and make it as dark as I want in the room.

I got the knockout curtains.

I can't knock my brain out.

You know, CC, when I said earlier about not sleeping last night.

I mean, it's one of those.

Maybe you literally need to do it.

Just like the hammer blow to the head.

Oh, I've been trying to get acne on the phone forever.

Those big clown hammers, you know, they seem to have, I mean, I've been watching Looney Tune cartoons my whole life.

And they seem to have an, like, a huge warehouse of these things.

Yeah, nobody will answer my phone calls.

Sleeping outdoors.

I think that's one that I would really like to try.

I am right with Melissa on what she was talking about.

I've heard a different couple of different versions of what you were referring to.

Melissa, but those all sound interesting to me.

The sleeping outdoors thing.

I've actually never really done it.

And maybe I haven't.

I just don't remember, like, I know I do.

I've slept overnight, but I haven't done, like, the whole actual camping thing.

I slept outdoors because it was a very, very, very, very long night.

And we'll just leave it at that.

Well, you know, that's the only reason.

I didn't plan on that.

Yeah.

That wasn't that kind of thing.

I think I wonder if sleeping outdoors would be a lot more peaceful than I, um, than I've

ever thought of.

Yeah, more.

Try listening to a, uh, like, forest sounds.

Backgrounds.

An outdoor kind of thing.

Yeah.

Just like, ambient, you know, noises.

They're not, it's not music.

It's just sounds.

Yeah.

Well, tell you one thing you definitely don't want to do.

You want to listen to us if you're trying to fall asleep.

We don't want to wake up.

We're going to wake up.

We're going to wake up.

We're going to wake up.

Keep you going and get you moving.

Uh, we appreciate you guys joining us on another work week here.

We're going to have some fun with the El Caffe birthday anniversary club right around

the corner on the morning show at WFHR.

Celebrate good times for home.

Celebrate.

Celebrate good times for home.

Celebrate.

You heard them.

Time to do some celebrating with our great friends over at El Caffe and the birthday anniversary

club.

We encourage you to treat yourself tomorrow when they open their doors at 221 Market

Avenue in beautiful Port Edwards.

Hopefully they had a great weekend and all well rested over at El Caffe and ready to

get back at it.

They got a great menu lined up for you.

El Caffe WI dot com.

Be sure to look them up on Facebook.

One of the reasons we always encourage you to is some of the fun posts they do.

Yeah.

They do social media right over there.

They do a great job of it.

Yes.

They also do a great job covering events and looking out for the community and doing things

with the community.

You've got a great fundraiser event coming up this Friday.

Oh my gosh.

They do.

Yes.

El Caffe will be hosting a fish fry fundraiser event to raise funds for the Port Edwards

Elementary School.

I encourage you to get on over there, get a fish fry and know very good fish fry by the

way.

It's excellent.

Getting more and more famous every Friday.

Yes.

It is.

Not only is that going to taste so good and I know a lot of Wisconsinites love trying new

fish fry.

So if you haven't tried it, there you go.

That's right.

Yes, they're extra good when you know that you're adding to a good cause.

That's right.

Very cool.

And if you're not into fish, they have a full regular menu as well and their Mexican menus

all day.

I mean, I mean, it's so hard to choose sometimes.

You're going to have to go back.

You're going to have to go back.

You multiple times.

Make a bookmark in your head like, okay, I'm going to try that next time.

Yeah.

You know, I can make plans to get on over there and a big thank you to them.

And of course, thank you to all of you celebrating with us and getting us your birthdays

and anniversaries.

You can do that by emailing us info at WFHR.com direct message us on our Facebook pages.

And you can call on up that number is 715 424 2600 or you can use the civic media app

and you don't have to remember anything.

That's right.

Yeah.

No, your fears work.

That's all you need.

You're a good note.

I'm writing that down.

I like the idea.

Not have to remember anything.

Okay.

We wish you a very good birthday and joy.

And we wish a very happy birthday to our qualifier Janet Gaber.

Happy birthday, Janet.

Happy birthday Janet.

Happy birthday to the day.

Janet, I hope it's a good one for you guys.

We're a little off on that one.

I'm just kidding.

I'm kidding.

That's true.

I mean, we were.

Janet, enjoy your day.

Hope it's a great one.

Thank you so much to God.

Getting us your birthdays and anniversaries.

Thank you.

All of them.

Thank you.

We really do appreciate it.

I can't remember the last time we had a shut out where we didn't have a birthday.

In a couple of years.

That's awesome.

It's been a while.

Really something.

Thanks so much, you guys.

And let's take a look at our celebrity list who you share your birthdays with.

Justin Metzoraso is 23, Dustin on Stranger Things.

I believe the kid with the curly hair and that he's a good young actor.

What a name, though.

Yeah.

That's an awesome name.

Oh, man.

Good one.

Yeah, that's a great name.

Wiz Khalif is 38, rapper best known for black and yellow, the furious 7 song, see you

again.

A couple of mothers.

Jonathan Taylor Thomas is 44.

Wow.

Randy Taylor and home improvement.

Yeah.

Was it either one that kind of left show business?

Yes.

Remember crackly?

He's doing something else right now.

Yeah, he got his fill.

He got his fill.

He got his fill.

As a young actor.

That's right, yeah.

One of the better singer songwriters of the last, I'd say, 20 some years.

If not long, certainly longer than that.

Pink is 46.

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

Oh, my gosh.

Just as impressive.

Right now, if you Google or Pink or any of her performances, you will see her pushing boundaries

as far as like what an artist does.

She's got this gymnast stuff she does on like a circle thing, way up up in the stadium

really thing.

She's been doing it for years.

Yeah.

It's a Cirque du Soleil type stuff.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's just incredible stuff.

While also singing at Perfect Pitch and all that.

I mean, yeah.

She's an amazing performer.

She's always a powerhouse.

She is.

She's the real deal.

I don't, I'm saying all this, repeating what my sister has told me many, many times.

I know her.

I think I think she can have a lot of respect for her.

It's interesting.

Jill's the big fan.

Gotcha.

Gotcha.

It's interesting that she came up with like Christina and Brittany's, but she took a completely

different.

Yeah.

Her path just totally diverged from them and it's been really interesting to follow.

It's crazy to see that not to say that these other artists aren't still doing work

or doing things or still relevant, but to see that she's kind of still there and she's

still putting out new music and still exploring and stuff.

Yeah.

Okay.

Let's see here.

Kennedy is 53 Rolling Stone, not Rolling Stone.

She was a DJ for MTV for a long time.

Oh, that's right.

Yes.

Yes.

Yeah.

Martin Freeman is 54, incredible, incredible, incredible actor.

Many know him, of course, is Bilbo Baggins in the Hobbit movies, Dr. of course Watson in

Sherlock's BBC series, maybe the greatest Watson I've ever seen, the debate over Sherlock

is up there.

That'll always be an argument, yeah.

I don't know if I've seen a better Watson.

Jude Law was fantastic.

He was wonderful in that role.

Martin Freeman took it to a different level, man.

Martin Freeman is something.

And of course, the original Jim on the British version of the office, Everett Ross in MCU.

This man's fingerprints are all over.

He's in the Fargo series.

Yeah.

He's great.

His voice, he good with accents too.

He can do just about any accent really well.

And he's one of those like all around versatile actors.

He can do comedy.

He can do drama.

He can do it all.

He's really cool.

He's incredible.

Just incredible.

And he's hilarious.

He's in real life.

He's a very, very funny man.

He's such a good, he's one of the good guys, man.

Yeah.

He really is.

He's one of those good ones.

Let's see here.

Amy Mann is 65, lead singer of Till Tuesday and voices carry.

Fantastic career though, our solo career has been amazing.

I don't care what anybody says.

Voices carry still holds up and 30, 40 years from now Voices carry.

He'll still hold up.

She's awesome.

Yeah.

And another 80s, David Steele is 65, fine young cannibals in English beat lead singer and song

right there.

Oh, you know it, man.

And that is someone else who retired from, she's kind of retired now.

He doesn't really do much anymore, yeah.

My great, great, great uncle.

And I just say that because he's really great, Bernie Sanders is 84 today.

How many greats is he?

There's all those greats.

We're not the other.

This has nothing to do with politics.

I am just a gigantic fan of Mr. Bernie Sanders.

Yeah.

Whether we agree politically or not is here or there, I just, I see him at the meetings and

I gotta go say hi.

I love Bernie Sanders.

America's favorite uncle.

I like you saying.

I think I agree.

I think he's that.

And then some people no longer with us.

And my goodness, what a list this is you guys.

First, Vichy, wanna mention him, would have been 36 today gone way too soon.

Wake me up is one of those songs we used to play a lot here when we played a lot more

music at the end of our shows.

And that was one of those ones, Carl and I always like to play.

Nice.

One of the comedic genius, Peter Sellers born in this day in 1925.

The genius who brought us Inspector Cluso in the Pink Panther movies.

But I almost remember that as much as I do, Dr. Strangelove as a kid, like my grandpa,

my papa really liked that movie and I remember an incredible actor.

He was a part of a comedy group called The Goon Squad that had a radio show in the 1950s

in the UK.

And that was probably one of the most influential comedy shows for British comedy.

And popular culture, the Beatles were all big fans of the show.

Of course, the Monty Python guys were all huge fans of the show.

So it was an arcade comedy, you know, kind of surreal comedy.

But it's amazing, good stuff.

English comedy, English art wouldn't be where it is without Peter Sellers, right?

And I think you could say a very similar thing about American comedy with Sid Cesar born

in this day in 1922, old school comedian, played Coach Calahoon in Greece.

Of course.

The caveman artist in history of the world, part one, ML Brooks movie name it, he might

have been in it.

Right.

One of the great writers of comedy as well.

Yes.

Speaking of the 50s, there was a show on basically throughout the whole decade, Saturday

Nights.

It was required viewing.

It was your show of shows and then later Cesar's Hour.

It was, you know, a sketch comedy show and they had, of course, those amazing group of

writers, you know, ML Brooks and Carl Reiner and Neil Simon was, I mean, listen to Woody

Allen.

They all wrote for that show.

It's an amazing collection of talent.

There is no center at life without that.

No.

No, sketch comedy is not what it is without your show of shows and Cesar's Hour.

Yeah.

Also great smile.

Great smile.

Those facial expressions that Sid Cesar had, he was always good at that.

And you cannot tell the history of music without these two artists, Jimmy Rogers born in

this day in 1897, the father of country music.

Yep.

No question about it.

Blue Yodel, so many good ones from him over the years.

And my, along with Billy Holliday, my favorite voice of all time, Patsy Klein, born in this

day in 1932, the legend, Patsy Klein.

Mm-hmm.

Incredible.

Two voices and like we said on the sunrise show, they had such a great influence, not just

on country music, but on American music.

I mean, we cannot overstate either of these two people and how much influence they had

on people who came after them.

They both died, sadly, very young, which is too bad.

When I had a student ask me a long time ago why Patsy Klein, why I liked her voice so much

and everything, it's very similar like Billy Holliday.

It's that versatility that's really impressive to me with a singer that can do so many different

things and go so many different levels and all that.

But it's when I hear them sing, I don't know if they wrote those words or not, but I feel

like they did.

You believe it.

I believe they did.

They only have to totally keep total conviction, yeah.

And not just that, no matter if I've heard crazy or walking after midnight a billion times

and there are a few songs I may have listened to more in my life because I heard them so young.

Every time I hear them, they hit me.

Every time I hear them, I feel like it's the first time almost or it's the first time

they've come across.

They're singing like these words are just coming to them.

Like it's just in the moment, even though I know I've heard the song plenty of times

or I know so and so wrote the song or Willie Nelson wrote crazy or anything like that.

It feels like it's her song.

That's right.

It's something about that to me that I don't hear from other artists a lot.

There is plenty of artists that do that I'm saying, just for me that hit me like that.

We love celebrating your birthdays and anniversaries.

Get more of them to us everybody.

We would love to be able to celebrate more with you.

You can email us info at waffatre.com, of course, direct messages in our Facebook pages

and as Melissa told you earlier, you can call on up through the Civic Media app.

We want to hear from you everybody.

We'll take a quick time out.

We'll come back and we're talking about this new term, clock-batching.

Clock-batching.

Clock-batching.

It's coming up.

Not easy to say.

I'm not watching.

I'm not trying to be very careful with that.

I'm not watching.

I'm not watching.

I'm not watching.

I'm not watching.

I'm not watching.

I'm not watching.

I'm not watching.

I'm not watching.

Welcome back everybody.

Morning show here at WFHR.

Locally grown radio.

Melissa, Seth and James hanging out with you.

Thanks so much for hanging out with us.

We got some fun things lined up for you before we get to the end of the hour.

We're going to talk about some new words added to the dictionary.

But before we get to the words, we got to get to a new term added to our lexicon.

All right.

Have you heard the term clock-batching?

No.

No.

It's the first time, first ever to it.

A writer in the UK coined it last month and it means one of two things or maybe both.

Forbes described it as, quote, look busy but aren't actually producing meaningful results

and or, quote, stretching small tests into entire afternoons.

That's called lolligagging.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That already had a need.

We already had a perfectly good term for this.

Gold-breaking.

It's got a lot of different word terms actually.

Lolligagging is not used nearly enough.

I don't know why we had to invent a new one when we had a perfectly good term right there.

That makes it sound intentional like you're just trying to run out the clock each day and

not get much done.

So then you don't get to sign more work.

But we've already got terms for that, like task masking or folded, fold activity, fold

activity.

Fold activity.

Which is actually pretty good.

I like that.

I haven't heard them though.

I haven't heard them though.

You're right.

Me neither.

Lolligagging is better.

Yeah.

The original definition is different.

The writer who coined clock botching, man, they're going to make me get in trouble.

MCC's just like, sit right there, just like button, figure on the button.

Just wait and just wait and for me.

They said it's, quote, when workers end up doing more hours than they're paid for, not

out of ambition, but because they can't get through their workload in time.

Oh, that's the opposite.

Yeah.

Yeah.

None of these definitions botch is not what I associate with any of these things.

No.

That's when you mess something up.

Yeah.

When you mess something up, when you make a mistake.

So when you first said that, James, before we even started this clock botching, sounded

like you, you missed time something, right?

You say, you know, like, you, you thought you had an appointment at one 30.

It's at one.

And then you find, oh, no, I got to go run and, you know, you'll go crazy trying to get

there in time kind of thing.

And to me, that's what it would make sense.

Clock botching, you botched the clock, but I don't know, or you record the inappropriate

hours that you worked.

No.

Oh, something like that.

Yeah.

I didn't come in till 730, but man, I clocked in at six.

Exactly.

Right.

Yeah.

See, that would work too.

Better than the definitions we're getting here.

She also says clock botters are usually, quote, the first ones in the office and the last

ones to leave.

So that makes it sound not intentional.

There's just too much on their plate and they're not very well organized.

A writer for ink.com confused things even more by saying it's an aggressive form of clock

watching when you're counting the minutes before you even leave work.

So nobody knows what it means, but apparently it's a popular turk.

And still none of those that make you do with the word botch, I don't know, do they not

know what that mean?

What word means?

Is that what it is?

I don't know.

Well, it's don't mean anything anymore.

I guess they really don't.

Yeah.

And the fact does not mean what it used to for breaking news doesn't mean what it used

that's in two words, but still.

Maybe it's all of the above, but whatever it means, they're all agreed.

It's a serious problem in 2025 caused by burnout and people feeling less engaged overall.

We need a new word.

We need to come up with something better than this, though.

We need a new term for that.

And you know, we could get ahead of all of this by fixing the our work life ballots and

that we wouldn't need these terms as much.

Exactly.

Cut the middle band off here.

Things are nice.

How about that?

But as it is, and we are in the world we're in, I still want to come up with a term for

our arms being useless when we try to sleep at night.

I'm not worried about this.

We've already got terms for this.

So is it maybe I'm going to ask this question now, is it you brought it back around

James?

And we got a little time, I guess, to work on this.

Do you sleep better if your arms are above your head?

Oh, no, let me follow sleep.

What's that?

No, then your arms fall asleep.

Well, that's the, I'll be honest.

I don't think I've tried that one.

Oh, really?

Well, I think, I think, well, Melissa's right for me too with that, but I don't know.

So here, here we go.

I have two pillows, okay?

I sleep on two pillows.

And depending on, you know, the opposite side arm that I'm, a side that I'm lying on,

so say I'm lying on my right side, then my left arm goes up in between the two pillows.

Oh, okay.

And if it's I'm on my left side, it's the opposite, it's always the opposite arm.

But it's always up above my head.

You know, at least my hand is not the whole arm, but you know, my hand is up on my head.

Yeah, once you get your elbow above your head, that's when you start to lose feeling and

you wake up with these needles, which is rather painful.

Yeah.

And that does happen occasionally, but usually not.

I usually don't have that problem because I probably move, you know, you sleep, but yeah.

They do have those special pillows now that have like the arm hole.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Have you seen those?

I have not seen those.

Yeah.

I feel like if you're sleeping with a partner where they can, you can put your arm like

around them through the pillow, it's, you know, I feel the body suits go asleep now, whether

it's that or it's what says is suggesting everything's on the table for me.

I'll try.

If you told me James, you know, they're saying that they're sleeping, you have a 10% better

chance of sleeping if you sleep a mesh potatoes.

Like I'm going to give it a try.

I will try it.

I will try it.

If you wind your arms off the end of the bed, you'll sleep better.

Writing this down, hang on.

Touchable arms.

That's what we need.

But see, here's the thing that arms are useful for in bed is when you need to move.

And as we get older, you can't just, you know, like your back doesn't, at least, or maybe

this is just because I'm sleeping on a mattress I saw it in half with a bread knife.

I don't know, but it's possible that an accident my car practice told me, it's very important

that you don't use your head and your neck to move yourself in bed because I mess with

your alignment.

You always move your, use your arms, your legs are your back, but never, never your head.

That's a good, that's a good note.

I don't think I knew that.

Oh, that's a good note.

I, I did try something a little while ago and, and I remember being told this a long

time ago and I just recently started to try to do it again, putting a pillow between

my knees.

Yeah.

Oh, I always sleep like that.

That helps a lot.

Is anybody out, like, I don't know, maybe because I didn't grow up doing this or something,

but I, I'm trying it.

It does help a little bit.

I don't know if it helps me sleep, but it does help my back at night, okay, we'll

say that.

Well, that's fair.

But it also feels a little awkward, like, I just, I don't know, I haven't got, like,

You just have to get the right pillow, James.

Yes, that's exactly, I think that, I know what it is, I need my pillow, this pillow when

I didn't know each other a little better.

Well, that just, I just take it to dinner.

Yes.

I'm telling you, do you need, James needs a full body pillow, you know, that's what he

needs, you know.

Yes.

I'm trying to make character on it up to you, you know.

It does help.

I use, I use my, my stuffed animals to put my arms on.

Yeah.

I think that helps actually getting your arms out of the way, actually, it just helps,

you know, if you're, like, got something around on it.

Yeah, exactly.

But yeah, if it's just laying against your side or onto the end of your bed that, then,

you know, it falls asleep and it's not comfortable.

All options on the table, on the table or the bed as it were.

We want to hear, yes.

We want to hear from you out there, everybody.

Do you think that these, these terms, clock, botching or task masking or faux

activity or like, or lolligagging?

Which word would be, should we use, lollig?

I think I'm voting for a lolligagging.

This is where we, I need to, I'm going to talk to John Scott when we get done here.

I have to ask him, how do we put quizzes up on the website?

Yes.

Or, or, or polls, not quizzes, polls, because I want to put, I want people to, to vote

on this one.

Send him over to website.

I know how to do that.

I'm going to do it on the phone.

Productivity makes me want to make soup.

With, with fake duck, faux duck, tivity.

No.

Five.

Five.

Yeah, I got it.

I got it.

I'm so pro.

I'm looking how sad I am.

I get so happy.

I got that right.

Yeah.

Wow.

It's Monday.

Wow.

It really is Monday.

Which also reminds us that maybe that's something, Beth will bring up in the kitchen's

open someday.

Maybe she will.

Maybe she will.

At the top of the 10 o'clock.

We'll come back with some more fun in the moment, everybody.

But I do want to take a second to think our listeners.

You hear me say all the time, best listeners in radio.

Maybe sounds like a line in a song or something.

But I mean it.

And I believe it with all my heart.

And you guys prove it all the time.

Last week Diane brought some amazing cookies and we appreciated those.

She's done that for years and we appreciate that and for years we've worked with a lot

of our nonprofits.

In particular, the store point boss.

And they sent us, actually Dolora and I, a really nice note about their time on the

rap and support with us recently.

Oh, excellent.

And it's in pen.

It's hand written.

Is it in just something that they just sent over or something?

It's a very thoughtful, sweet thing.

We really do appreciate this stuff.

We're not saying you have to do anything like that.

Every guest we have is very appreciative and cool.

But that kind of thing is above and beyond.

We really appreciate that to our friends over at this store point boss.

Yeah.

Let it be known that we do appreciate every time we get something like that.

Oh, absolutely.

They hang on a quirk board in the hallway.

You can come and see them.

Our wall of things.

Wall of things.

Yep.

Be sure to check that out.

Everybody.

And be sure to check out more about this store point boss at historicpointboss.com.

Be sure to add an over there every month, every year, throughout the year, they've got

events going on over there.

They do.

And in fact, we had one stop by the Grand Affair yesterday and he did give us a nice

lowdown about the harvest fest on Saturday and they did have a very good turnout.

So it's glad to hear that.

Yep.

When we get back, we're talking about some of the words added to dictionary.com.

We'll get into those.

We come back on the morning show at WFHR.

Welcome back, everybody.

Morning show here at WFHR, locally grown radio, Melissa and Seth and James hanging out with

you.

Having a good one out there.

Happy Monday to you, everybody out there.

We have an interesting one.

Have you heard of memory investing yet?

Every investing.

Well, all these terms this morning, yeah, we are improving everyone's vocabulary today.

Memory investing sounds like a B horror movie in like the late 80s.

Like it does.

It does.

Memory investing.

After you said that, Melissa, immediately I could see the cover of the VHS tape, I could

say.

You know, it started, John Claude Van Dam.

It definitely started John Claude Van Dam, it definitely did.

It's the trendy new term for an old idea.

Instead of spending money on stuff, you'd rather invest in experiences that create long-lasting

memories.

You'll look back on later.

We've talked actually about this, just not that terminology.

Right.

Yes, actually quite a bit.

We've talked about that, yeah.

Actually, this weekend talked quite a bit about it with my brother and his wife, Kim,

about this and their generation and how much they are literally putting into this.

And like, okay, this is, you know, we aren't taking anything from this experience, but

memories and that's well, and that's well, we got our money's worth.

Yeah, right.

That's a good investment.

It's that type of term we don't probably need.

It's just a new way of describing something that's become more common.

Speaking of terms, we might not need.

The folks in Fictionary.com announced that they have added more than 1,200 new words

and terms so far this year.

Wow.

We're going to go through each one.

No, no.

We're not going to.

They highlight everything.

I'll go down, everybody.

Oh, word number 1,044.

They highlight the couple we're going to look into here.

So there is coffee badging.

Being at work, just, quote, just long enough to have coffee or swipe your badge to clock

in.

Then you split your work from home the rest of the day, huh?

Coffee badging.

Coffee badging.

Hmm.

It's almost a hyphenated word.

Maybe a slash in the middle of that one.

I know there's not, but it should be.

Not to be confused here in Wisconsin with coffee badgering, where it is just basically just

badger people.

Yeah.

If you're a coffee that you're having coffee, that's a horrible joke.

If I see here's another PSA for getting sleep, I would not have made that joke.

I would have had the brain power to realize, okay, just shut up James.

You know, I have to say that joke.

Congestion pricing.

Congestion pricing.

Okay.

New York did it.

New York did this this year.

Reducing excessive traffic by charging motorists a fee to drive a private vehicle into a city

center.

Okay.

I remember hearing about that.

Yeah.

I'm not.

I don't even know if they implemented it or not.

Apparently.

I did not hear if they implemented it.

Yeah.

I guess they did.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Curious how that's working.

Same wash.

Oh dear.

Oh boy.

Oh boy.

Oh, I have not heard this one.

Oh, really?

It's grim.

Whatever it is.

Quote to misrepresent something as sensible or acceptable, even though it's crazy or extreme.

Hmm.

Mainstream media has been doing some of this from what I've heard.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You've been doing it for a long time.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Unfortunately.

It is.

Yeah.

Bothideism.

Bothides.

Bothidesism.

Baba.

Play me that one hard to say.

The practice or habit of representing opposing arguments as equally strong or invalid.

There's always that person who just sees both sides.

I tend to be like this quite a bit.

Right.

I think that's the positive side of it.

There's a negative side of that too, but I'm with you on that one.

Being able to be, you know, someone else's shoes kind of thing, you know, being able

to take the other view and see, try to figure out why, understand why, you know, a different

viewpoint is being offered.

Yeah, but sometimes you cannot compare apples to bearing balls.

And that's the, that is the negative side.

You are absolutely right, Melissa.

Yes.

And there's, there's, you know, some, the empathy part of things, there's the looking

at both sides of things and then there's the whole kind of part of it where you're just

unable to make a decision or you, you need to make a call or, you know, yeah, to what

you guys are saying.

Sometimes things are not.

They're not comparable.

They're not comparable.

Yeah.

Right.

Exactly.

I think there are extreme examples.

Yeah.

And kiss cam.

I think we all know where that came from.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I just wanted to look at what their definition of it is, quote, a popular feature at stadium

events in which two spectators, presumed to be a couple, presumed that they make sure

to say, presumed are shown on a large screen and encouraged to kiss from the audience and

entertainment.

They've been doing this at sporting events for four decades and now they're just putting

it in there.

Wow.

Do you think that they ever did this like in like the old Coliseum days?

Like, you know, where they're waiting for the tour, you know, you got to, you got to kill

time here.

Well, literally, while, you know, you're cleaning the, the ring or whatever you want to call

this, you got to, you got to do something.

You got to clean about the blood from the lions or whatever, right?

Did they have, did they have the chicken races and stuff and the sausage races back to

something?

What did they do?

Did it pass the time?

Yeah.

We accepted, it didn't work.

And over there, the kiss cam, we can't see them, but, you know, and, and, and I want to

hear your guys just take some of these, of course.

But if I can go back to both sideism, both sideism for a second, can it be a new term added

to our lexicon if we have a hard time saying it?

Like shouldn't all these words, if we're going to add new words, shouldn't we at least make

them a little bit easier to say, we're, we're bringing them in.

Like I, I'm the grant.

There are some words that are out there that have been around forever, and we can't do

anything about it.

They were here long before us.

So, we're going to have a chance, maybe we should challenge Americans to, you know, be

able to learn how to pronounce really difficult words.

I mean, we could look at both sides of this.

I like that.

I like, I like what you did there.

Oh, so many levels.

Goodness.

Goodness.

You're good.

You're good.

Anyway.

Um, what is, now, a, a, a, a, far as terms out there, we want to hear from the audience

on this one as well.

If there are terms, you think should be added, or if you came across any of those 100,000,

you know, 120, 12,000 words or whatever, um, looks like the, the, as far as other terms,

now they did bower these from a lot of different other places too, um, make sense.

But there are, um, there are a couple of them that I, I think are kind of interesting super

yacht should not be involved in this.

Yeah.

I don't think that that is one that, um, how about, how about also words that we're all

going to be able to have a, a chance to say at some point, yeah, it's, what about, uh,

furos, furoshiki, furoshiki, a traditional Japanese rectangular cloths, uh, primarily

used for wrapping and carrying items.

Okay.

But that has been added to the, to the American.

Yeah.

Or the English, I should say, well, I suppose, American, yeah, let's become that kind

of popular where it's, it's been added to our, that's cool.

That's cool.

That's an interesting wonder, um, and, uh, ultra wide has been added.

Ultra wide.

Ultra wide has been added.

I think we know what that mean.

Super intelligence has been added.

Okay.

There's another one that has been added.

That one should have been really just recently.

That sounds like one that's been around for a while.

You know, sci-fi that's been around for a while.

Uh, and voxel.

V-hung.

V-o-x-e-l.

Voxel.

It's a representation of a value on a three-dimensional regular grid.

Oh.

That has been added.

Oh.

Um, I am math term.

I like that.

That's cool.

Now, so I'm bringing it up because that's a term that I know has been around a long time.

Um, uh, that it's been come more popular.

I wonder why it's become more popular.

That's the curious thing, right?

Yeah.

Well, it's just fun to say.

Voxel, it's fun to say.

Yeah.

Because look, we've got, uh, like, we've got to figure out a way to work with the

Shaboygan furniture company or something.

So I can say the word Shaboygan is much as humanly possible in the way.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

And actually get away with it.
