Sentencing Them to those Five Seconds. (Hour 1)

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

Let's start the show, time to get into it.

On a Thursday, got your host James behind the mic.

Join by our head of production, our co-host Seth Habhagger.

Good morning.

Hope you all are having a great start to your Thursday.

Thanks for joining us, best listeners and radio.

We got a lot of fun things lined up this morning.

We're going to kick it off the way we like to with our good friend, Brittany Marlowe.

Talking a little mother nature. Good morning, Brett.

Good morning. Can you believe it's 70 degrees outside already?

It's like, wow. Yeah, I felt it.

I did the whole thing where I went out and you know, most Wisconsinites.

It doesn't matter what day of the year it is.

You go out, you probably got a hoodie or something.

Just in case.

I was just in case.

I was hot in the car.

So what's going on? It's September.

It's weird.

And then I, you know, I apologize, Brittany.

I really do enjoy your weather and I tend to listen pretty closely to it.

I was not able to this morning kind of flipping around and doing some things,

spinning some plates behind the scenes here.

And I heard FAP.

FIP. FIP. FIP.

FIP is what I meant.

Yeah. FIP.

See, I really was listening to Gata.

But that caught your attention, right?

Yeah, right, right.

What was FIP.

What was that that you were talking about?

Yeah, so it's a pretty cool new tool that no one, the National Weather Service,

and all those forecasters have to use.

I don't even have access to it.

But basically what it is is it shows where the rivers could rise.

It's analyzing rivers and streamflow every single hour.

So it's very updated and it shows pretty much water on a map

where it would cover homes, land, streets.

Wow.

It really helps pinpoint and precisely forecast where to evacuate

who's going to see some flood waters because we all know that the rain is just ramping up these days

more and more of it and it happens fast.

So we are on top of it.

This has just been released.

It was only 10% of the country for a while.

And then it got expanded to 60%.

So now we have it in western parts of Wisconsin.

And then by next year they say, all of the country will have access to this.

So it's a pretty cool new tool.

Yeah, wow.

It's science something.

And just I don't know coolness on the coolness chart.

1A1B of it being accessible to everybody.

Right.

That's really cool.

That's really cool.

Nice.

Thank you, Brady.

I appreciate that.

Thanks for catching us up on that one.

That's very interesting.

You can also hear about how is it looking around here today with Mother Nature?

Well, things are getting dark and damp or especially as we move closer and closer to the weekend.

So you can already tell more clouds out there that's going to be the case less and less sunlight.

We may be spots of it still this afternoon.

But also mixed with chances for showers and maybe a small storm as we go into early this evening.

Those chances continue into tomorrow especially in the afternoon and evening that rain ramps up.

It could be heavy at times and it doesn't quit on Saturday either.

Shower and storms continuing.

It starts to wind down on Sunday but even more might want to strike on Monday.

So a very wet pattern ahead.

Hives will be falling.

Today will scrape the low 80s.

But like tomorrow will be in the mid 70s.

Down to the low 70s on Saturday and then climbing back to the mid 70s to close the weekend out and cruising to next week.

I don't see any 80s in the future.

I see more mid to upper 70s hanging around next week.

But it's going to be a white one.

We could see an inch to two inches by the time the weekend is all set and done.

And some storms could put down heavier amounts.

Which you know that letting forecast for the river is a good thing.

There we go.

I know for a lot of us in this room and around the specific media company and family and everything.

A lot of us love fall.

I thought something fun that we could do next month is going over with Brittany.

The fall foliage and where to see it.

What's peeking here and there.

A wonderful morning show topic.

A lot of people are going to be covering everything.

But we get Brittany to cover it with.

I thought that would be fun.

I was bookmarking a couple of things from travel Wisconsin and everything yesterday.

And all I could think about is, oh man, I'm not going to be wearing shorts this time next month.

It's literally the first thought that would have I had.

And that is where I am as an adult.

That really means summer is over right at that point.

I was literally like, aww.

It really hit her my heart.

I know.

It's a little sad to think about it.

I mean, the first day of fall is officially on Monday too.

So that's right around the corner.

I mean, this wild.

Yeah.

I don't even have good legs.

Like, there's no real reason for me to be like, wadi to wear shorts.

I don't remember.

Brittany, we appreciate you.

Thanks so much for hanging out with us.

Have a good one, you guys.

You too.

You too.

Best in the business right there.

We appreciate you, Brett.

We're going to get into some fun stuff this hour, Seth and I.

We not only have this idea of what maybe a policy should be for line cutters that drive thros.

We will go over that anxiety from men.

What do we get anxious over getting into that?

Talk about it a little bit.

Yeah.

Got some interesting stuff there.

10 o'clock hour.

We're going to kick off the way we like it to on a Thursday with our pet of the week from

South O'Cunningham main society.

Mm hmm.

After that, we'll get into a little bit of entertainment news.

Gig Ed Sheeran turned down SNL, you know, creator, overall overseer, Lauren Michaels.

Guru, whatever you want to call him.

Like a silence on the cuts that recently happened, we'll talk about that a little bit.

And then I got a great one for Seth, um, 20 major classic rock bands that can still reunite

with the most, the most famous lineups.

Really?

Yeah.

So we'll get into this a little bit more later.

But I think once you get into it, once we get into the topic, you're really going to be

interested in that.

Yeah.

I mean, I'm actually still form and do these things.

Very cool.

Of course, got our schedule to get into good stories of the day and we've got a ton of local

events we wanted to focus on and talk about.

But on this day, we have to start with National Cheeseburger Day.

Cheeseburgers?

Cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger.

Nice.

No, we got Pepsi, no coke.

Yeah.

Pepsi, no coke.

The cheeseburger, as they call it.

If you get that reference, thank you, you are my people.

Saturday, live, it lives rent free in my brain as it turns out.

And honestly, though, I bet just a lot of people around here that have maybe, if they

have not been to the Billy Goat, at least know it, they've heard this before, it's a Midwest

thing.

And they actually kind of like, they had to kind of pull back on the accents so that

people could actually understand them.

Because when you've actually been to the Billy Goat, it is much thicker.

It is much different.

I feel like I know certain languages just because of that, the Billy Goat, just because

of them.

It helps you decipher things.

Yeah.

And you should.

It's great food.

Great food, by the way.

I don't know if people talk about that enough.

They actually have one.

I think at the, oh, here, they've got a, in the food court there, they have a Billy Goat,

which is pretty cool.

I like that.

I know how to feel when I first was flying out over here and I saw that.

I'm like, I really, I still don't know how to fit.

When it comes to cheeseburgers in our household, I can grill a darn good burger.

Sure.

But then there's my father, who has a cow ripkin-like streak of never making a bad burger

from childhood to literally yesterday where he's out there on the grill.

The one thing I've got to say, to not just my father, but this is basically to my father,

but to all men out there.

Right.

Because this is directed at men.

If that sounds sexist, you go ahead and throw this back at my face.

Women grill all the time, my mother, my grandmother, all them grill.

But when it comes to what I'm about to say, let it go, man.

That grill is dead.

My father has duct tape and has like all these different things around this grill.

Like he's, like, we're not, we're not rich, but he can get a new grill.

But this man has been hanging on to this grill the last two summers and just yesterday,

we finally got him to agree the next in the winter here or whatever.

Yeah.

And they're on sale and all that.

Yeah, look for the deals, right?

Yeah.

He's going to finally do it.

Because yesterday it caught on fire.

Yeah.

Oh, boy, that's always fun.

It literally, like, not the kind of fire where you grill.

No.

Parts of it that should not be on fire.

That has happened to me in the past and that's not, that's exciting.

It's kind of scary.

That's, but yeah.

That's happening.

And he's still flippin' the burgers.

He's still flippin' the burgers.

No, now you need to step away.

Step away from the grill now.

Yeah.

It's like all the salt we have.

Let's put that out, like, but still the street continues.

It was a great burger.

Even with that.

It was still good.

There we go.

I already got this down to that cheeseburger day.

I got that out of my system out.

No, you can, I can have a cheeseburger every day almost.

It is national cheeseburger day and there are two ways to celebrate.

One, having a cheeseburger.

And two, finally throwing away that box of hamburger helper that you're never going

to eat.

There's a cheeseburger one.

Cheeseburger hamburger.

And of course, celebrating it by talking about what is your favorite type of cheeseburger

or what do you like on there?

There's a list online of strangest burger toppings people have had that somehow worked.

They stand by.

They say this is a great one.

Okay.

Now, before we get into this, is there really anything strange?

I mean, let's let us observe the cheeseburger just as it is, the most simplest form.

It's ground up cow meat with a piece of cow, like, like, made, you know, a topping on

it, right?

On a, on a, that's weird.

That is a weird thing.

And it's made round.

I mean, not all of them around in some of them are square.

But the idea of that is just, that's weird.

Okay.

So if you put anything else on top, that's, I think it's part for the course, right?

I mean, my favorite cheeseburger, my favorite is cow with a little bit of a pig on it.

It would take it.

Exactly.

Put your pig on your cow, right?

Yeah.

I mean, yes.

I know.

Somebody looked at those two animals and we're like, you know what?

That's going to go good together.

Honestly, you look at any food and it's weird.

Yeah.

And if you really look at it, it's like, why do we do this again?

That's kind of strange.

I tried just not to think about it too much.

Like, this is probably fair.

It was a few topics in life I don't overthink.

Let's not do that.

Um, to me, I, my classic, my go to the burger that my oldest friend and I created was

the bagel bacon double cheeseburger.

That's right.

Yeah.

You've spoken of this before.

It's an amazing burger.

Encourage all the triceps.

There's no copyright on this.

That's soggy bottom bun.

We could have created it.

We could have created it.

But yes, the soggy bottom bun.

That's what create the necessity to create the bagel burger in the, uh, in food crimes.

In food crimes, the soggy bottom is, is a felony.

It's a felony to me.

Now some would tell you that's a misdemeanor.

Ah, no, it's a felony, man.

A soggy bottom bun.

If you were delivering that to your customers or to your family, uh, that's a misdemeanor

at least, at least it misdemeanor.

This food crime, does that mean there's food to be, no, no, we don't, I don't know if

we need that.

Guy Fieri, maybe I don't know.

I don't know.

Our officers have enough other plate.

The idea of Guy Fieri, you tried to tell me what to do.

Yeah, right.

And I had a guy Fieri, but I did play it a funny.

Um, when it comes to weird toppings, I think we all have maybe something that we've

tried.

Yeah, I think so.

When they go back to it or not, here are some of the weirder ones that have worked.

Peanut butter.

Someone said, don't knock it till you try it.

I've heard that before that there's a peanut butter.

And I've spoken before of a bar, the anchor in superior.

And one of their most popular burgers is a cashew burger, literally a burger with cashew

nuts on it.

And that's very close to peanuts.

I mean, so I, I'm telling you, it's, it's probably more popular than we think.

A glazed doughnut for a bun.

I've had that, but I don't think that, so the doughnut wasn't fresh enough.

Sugar bagel, you mean?

Yeah, yeah, right.

Basically, um, the doughnut wasn't fresh enough.

You could tell the doughnut had been out.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And so you didn't even really taste the doughnut.

You just taste the deglaze.

Yeah.

And glaze and meat.

Don't go over it.

That doesn't sound very appetizing.

Yeah.

But I think that if you made it right, like you got a good, you know, glaze doughnut.

A good fresh doughnut.

Yeah.

It didn't get soggy on the bottom.

Fennel, breachies, uh, fig jam and bacon all together.

Oh, so fennel, uh, breachies, fig jam, and bacon.

That's fine.

That's, there's nothing wrong with that.

I would try that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

If you, if you eat a blue burger, you know, with like blue cheese, yeah, that's fine.

Seriously.

Uh, refried beans, refried beans guacamole and pico de gallo.

It's like a taco kind of burger or a Mexican burger, if you will.

That's, that's fine.

No problem there.

I've never, like, I, I like a lot of mashups in most things and especially an entertainment

and all that.

Sure.

Um, I, I have no interest in the burger pizza.

Oh, you know, or the, the, the burger that's trying to be a pizza or the pizza burger

basically said like a mozzarella cheese in the middle or whatever.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Uh, just give me the real thing.

Sure.

Or give me a pizza.

We don't need to have them together, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I don't need something that's going to confuse me.

I don't need something.

I've got enough in life that does that pineapple fused to the burger with cheese.

Yeah.

No, I can see that.

The sweet and savory together.

That's fine.

That's fine.

I like it.

I would like it a lot more.

You tell me the pineapple is grilled.

Yeah.

So there you go.

Well, I might make sense.

It's right next there.

I'm the, you know, just right next to the burger and I got the grill.

You have the pineapple there.

Yeah.

I think that would work.

Yeah.

Uh, maybe a little bit of what you were talking about before.

Oh, not, not so much, I guess.

A peanut sauce and pickled ginger.

Ooh.

Huh.

That would be a little bit peanut sauce instead of, you know, your normal ketchup and mustard.

Yeah.

Okay.

A little different.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, that's fine.

I, um, just a note to everybody, every industry that makes burgers, not, not so much

ketchup.

I don't know that anybody has ever ordered a burger and they're like, you know, I'm so

glad that they doused it in ketchup.

I, I don't know that they're, that's a thing.

I, I don't think you need to do that.

No, I agree.

And if, if I had my druthers, it'd just be mustard because that's my favorite.

Oh, right.

So I, I would do it without ketchup.

It's, it's fine.

I'm not saying it's bad.

I'm just on a burger.

But I don't need a lot of condiment.

I don't need a lot of, like a little, a touch of it, sure, but it doesn't need to be like

half tomato.

Yeah.

Green olives.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

I'm going to pass on that one.

I'm going to pass.

I got to tell my brother that one.

He loves olives.

Oh, see if he does.

See all of burger.

Yeah.

I could see how people, that would not surprise me to see somebody eating a burger with

olives.

Or even chop it up and put it like in the burger meat.

That would make sense.

Oh, that's not bad.

I would need it.

But it would make sense.

Right, right.

Same here.

A slice of fried baloney.

No, thank you.

I have.

It's not a baloney guy.

Have I heard that before?

But yeah.

I can hear you on that.

But again, it's like putting any other like second meat on top of meat kind of thing.

It's sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Yeah.

I don't, I don't have a lot of pull to that.

Um, wait.

You don't like baloney?

Yeah.

Not a baloney guy.

Yeah.

I know.

No, no, no, no.

I'm talking good baloney.

Not the lunch meat.

I'm talking about good actual baloney.

Right.

Yeah.

Just never been my thing.

Okay.

It's a weird meat to me.

It's a weird one.

It's, I don't know.

Which is slimy, pastrami.

Those are fine.

A little bit of the pot called the kettle black.

The capacola is fine.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Be calling something weird.

It's a little.

Yeah.

James.

Maybe look at the bear a little bit.

Banana.

Banana.

Ooh.

Hmm.

No.

And personally, I could do the pineapple.

I don't know if I could do the banana.

I'd have to avoid the banana on that one.

I love bananas, but I don't want it on my banana.

No.

Fried mac and cheese instead of normal cheese.

No.

Totally.

You could do that.

You could do that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's all right.

Cold cheese.

Especially deli American.

Huh?

I don't know what I just said.

Isn't that what is on a normal cheeseburger?

Yeah.

Or because it's usually melted on.

Maybe they just say.

Just like put it straight.

Okay.

You got everything ready.

So it's cold.

Yeah.

I've done this before, but like when I'm making food for myself, I'm grilling a burger just

for myself and I forgot to put the cheese on first or, you know, the system that we all

have for doing.

Because everybody does it a little bit.

They're on the little thing.

Yeah.

And I threw it on there.

Not bad.

Not bad.

Yeah.

That's, I've had that before.

Serviceable.

We'll call it that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Much better with it melted, I think.

I agree.

Yeah.

Marshmallow fluff and chili sauce.

Wow.

Okay.

That's weird.

That's pretty out there.

Sorry.

Anyone who likes that.

That's a little weird.

Yeah.

We've got to put that out there.

How about hot dogs as a burger topic?

I have seen that.

I have seen that before.

No.

No.

Another thing.

We should keep them separate from each other.

Yeah.

Yeah.

They're fine on their own.

Hot dogs, fine on your own.

I am positive that there is a major league baseball park out there that is doing at least 90%

of these.

Yes.

If not on all on the same burger.

Oh, yes.

That's all it.

Fantastic.

Finally, gummy bears.

What?

Now, why do you do that to gummy bears?

Yeah, gummy bears are great.

They just leave them alone.

They don't need anything.

You know gummy bears are good because they don't never come with anything other than gummy

bears.

That's right.

They don't need it.

They're fine the way they are.

By the way, 82% of Americans like cheeseburgers.

That's a pretty tough one.

That's a really high number.

66% of people like them topped with American cheese with cheddar being a close second.

Swiss is third followed by pepper jack and provolone.

Okay.

Oh, decent.

Oh, decent.

But I'm a classic guy.

You're going to give me the old American cheese.

I am a sucker.

Cheddar is not bad.

I'm sucker for anything with beef and blue cheese on it.

So if you have a good blue cheeseburger, I'm on board like a steak.

Same thing.

Yeah.

I know.

It just happened.

Yeah.

I really want a burger.

I don't want a burger.

I just can't imagine why.

I know one place that serves them pretty darn good.

Our good friends over at El Café.

We'll be talking about them in the birthday and anniversary club when we come back on the

morning show.

My, my, my, my, I'm so happy.

I'm going to join a baby.

We were the best to see this celebration when I'm the proudest star.

Time to do some celebration with our great friends over at El Café in the birthday and

anniversary club.

We encourage you to treat yourself.

Get on over to El Café, 221 Market Avenue in beautiful ported words.

You should have a great day from all of us.

Check out some of those amazing specials like the pulled pork Benedict, the meatball sub

over there.

That sounds amazing.

So eggs and pork.

Oh, man, that goes so well together.

Ah, that sounds so good.

How about pork chop sui?

Pork chop sui.

Which is a great play on words, by the way.

Speaking of burgers, real quick, man, if you've not had their cheese curd burger at

El Café, it was so good, I don't think I have.

Oh, you got to try it.

It's so good.

Definitely try that.

And you can try it today and get on over to El Café today over there at 221 Market

Avenue.

Wish them a good morning from all of us by local support, local support, those that support

this community.

100%.

And get us those birthdays and anniversaries so we can get celebrating with you, everybody.

We want to hear from you.

Email us info at WFHR.com, direct messages on our Facebook pages or call on them.

715-424-2600, call up right now, everyone.

We had someone call yesterday during this time period.

It was great.

Thank you for giving us those birthdays.

If you want to wish someone live on the air now, it's your time to do it.

Keep them coming, everybody.

We love selling right with you.

Taking a look at our list today, Seth, I need a one through four.

Oh, let's do four today.

All right.

I've done that a while.

Yeah, there we go.

Oh, interesting.

All right.

We'll get in.

Boom, boom.

All right.

And our first up before we get into the list, I have to wish a very happy 47th anniversary

to Jim and Pam Mayloff.

Oh, why?

Well, congratulations, Jim and Pam.

My favorite couple of all time.

You know, as little as I know about Jim and Pam Mayloff, I do know that in order to survive

the children they had, that's an amazing accomplishment to be married 47 years.

That's a great response.

I didn't see that.

It was good.

My mom and dad have been together since they were 15 and 16.

They are school sweethearts.

Yeah, the definition of foolish romantics to me.

And what I am, what I see as a couple and what I envision of the right couples or good

coupling, two individuals that came together as a team, that's where I always remained

individuals.

Yep, that's right.

And my God, do they remain individuals?

They compliment each other.

Like you said, it's good.

They're teammates.

They're not, they don't complete each other or anything like that.

They are, they are who they are, but they work well together like cheese and burgers.

They're nicely done, good call back, good call back.

It really, really do, not only because me and my, I wouldn't be here, but more importantly,

my brother and sister wouldn't be here without them.

But also what they did for us and everything they have given to us and sacrificed to us.

It's not just in that way, but in so many other ways.

Not only wouldn't be here, but wouldn't be enjoying life without them.

They're amazing human beings and I'm wishing you a great anniversary, YouTube.

Happy anniversary.

You guys better go out to eat tonight.

They talk about it and they never do it.

You're going to have to like drive them to the restaurant.

I'm going to.

Okay, we're going now.

Just get in the car.

I'm going to be shaperone of them.

I'm going to be sitting out in the car, out in the parking lot.

Just make darn sure that they don't, my dad doesn't try to sneak out in the back or something.

We also want to wish a very happy birthday to another friend of ours around here, Promise

Bucking.

Oh, happy birthday, Promise.

Promise has joined us many times over the last year or so with the heart of Wisconsin

Chamber of Commerce and everything.

Promise is awesome.

And also has just as awesome of a name.

That's a great name, isn't it?

Yeah.

That's a great name.

Yeah.

I was not too much to live up to Promise.

Let's hope so.

A happy birthday to Debbie Fensel.

Happy birthday, Debbie.

Deb Fensel.

Oh, sorry, Deb Fensel.

Deb Fensel.

You know, either or.

Enjoy your day.

Deb.

Enjoy your day.

And we hope it's a good one.

Yes.

We also want to wish a happy fourth anniversary to Mitch McNaughton and Alex Alexis Johnson

McNaughton.

Oh, wow.

That's a really long name.

But hey, congratulations to four years.

That's great.

Awesome.

I wish you both a very happy anniversary.

And as a romantic, I tell you this, as a fellow human being, I tell you this, until I meet

them, I'm not going to believe those are real people.

I think somebody was just trying to mess with me and get me to get tongue tied and

knock it.

With those names, yes, yes.

Mitch and Alexis, we wish you a great one.

Enjoy your day.

Hope it's a fantastic anniversary.

Absolutely.

Fourth, as much as I love the, you know, 47th or some of those, those early anniversaries

just really hit the heart.

It's really cool.

And it has a great one, Mitch and Alexis.

And our qualifier today, Betty Anderson.

Happy birthday, Betty.

Enjoy the day, Betty.

Yes.

Hope it's a great one for you.

You're a qualifier.

Braggdoll, your friends and family.

Solid name, Betty Anderson.

Yeah.

I like that one.

Who do you share your birthdays and anniversaries with?

Well, Alison Lohmman comes up first on the list.

She is 46, Tim McGraw's daughter in Flickon.

She was in a couple of other movies.

She's good actor.

Oh, wow.

Okay.

Cool.

Jason Sedankus is 50.

He is Ted Lasso.

Of course, a standard live alum for many years.

A lot of great horrible bosses.

He's been in a couple of movies and everything.

Good career.

I've really enjoyed him.

And I don't think I appreciated it enough on SNL

when I go back and watch sketches.

And I'm like, oh, yeah, he was really like, he's a good straight man.

He's a very good straight man.

Yeah.

So much more versatile than I really remembered him being until I go back and watch

these sketches and stuff.

He is way more versatile than I thought.

Very talented.

James Mars in his 52 Cyclops and the X-Men movies.

He was also a Teddy in Westworld, which was his, I think,

his greatest role.

He was so good in that show.

Prince Edward and Enchanted.

He is Tom in the Sonic movies.

As you have to say, he's in the Sonic movies too.

He's actually does a pretty good job in those.

And he has a fantastic role on 30 Rock,

where he ends up with Tina Fey.

Oh, really?

And to my iron.

When that show was on and that happened,

I remember actually literally being mad at James Marsden.

Like, like, what, that James?

I'm a James.

No.

Well, you know, to be, I mean, he's, you know,

very handsome man.

James Marsden is, but goes way above me, way above me.

But other than that, he's very versatile.

He can play comedy, he can do drama.

He's, he's very good.

He's a good actor.

He's a good actor.

And we wish a happy birthday to Ayesha Tyler.

55 for her.

She is one of the, one of the great voices on Archer.

She was a host of Whose Line Is It Anyway?

Hostly.

Really?

Talks soup for a little while.

Okay.

Great.

Can he be an actor?

Yeah.

I liked her.

Let's see here.

Oh, Jada Pinkett Smith is 54.

Wow.

Great actor.

Yes.

Yes.

Not nearly enough stuff, though.

No.

I know she kind of did the mom thing there and everything,

but she was, she was so good.

Frankie Avalon is 85.

Wow.

Teen Idol from the 50s.

I did a lot of beach movies back in the day with the netfootagello.

Wow.

Yeah.

I didn't know he was still alive.

That's awesome.

His biggest hit was Venus, but also known for singing a beauty school dropout in Greece,

of course.

Yep.

That was a, come back for him.

Yeah.

That's right.

Man, they used some Greece on that camera.

Look, go back and watch Frankie Avalon and then he looks younger than the, you know, the

cast.

He's got like a whole, like a football team of kids.

If I remember correctly, he's got a lot of kids, too.

So.

Incredible career, incredible career, like especially you look at the 50s and everything

and you can't talk about it without them.

No, those, those beach movies, they're corny.

Yeah, but they're fun.

Check them out.

They're a lot of fun.

One of the best like comedic character actors, any buffs we'll ever see, Fred Willard born

in a state in 1933, fills dad on my under family, Martin Mull's partner in a Rosanne.

He was, of course, Ed Harkin and anchor man, Lieutenant Bob and spinal tap best in show.

So many of those movies.

All of the Christopher Guest movies, he's in every one of those, one of a great improv

artists.

Yes.

I mean, one of the quickest minds, funniest people that ever lived, honestly, I think he

was personally.

I genuinely think when we talk about character actors, Fred Willard would be one of the top

five names of, you may not know his name, but you know him.

And I mean to any generation in the less like four generations, less five, you know,

you know, Fred Willard.

You may not know his name, but you pull up a picture of him.

You see him, you know exactly who he is.

Yeah.

Wonderful.

And his voice, too, he had a very distinctive voice as well.

We talk about this when we lose stars early and everything all the time.

But, you know, River Phoenix for me is maybe at the top of the list of actors that I would

have loved to have seen late age and see them do it.

I would have progressed evolved, yeah, isn't it?

I'd have seen them done, you know, this older roles, like, say River Phoenix as Atticus

Finch.

And I know that sounds insane to a lot of people out there, but picture him in his fifties

in his sixties, aged a bit and being able to do roles that you can't do when you're

in your twenties because it's Atticus Finch.

Right.

It's a player role.

I'd love to have seen that kind of thing.

Right after him is probably James Gandalfini.

One of my all time favorites, Tony soprano, of course, and the sopranos.

But as we were talking about with the passing of Robert Redford, the last castle is a complete

acting marathon and him and Redford going back and forth.

And I promise you, like, a prize of fight, they share rounds.

There's scenes where Gandalfini is not just hanging with, but be acting better than Robert

Redford, who is one of the greatest actors you'll ever see.

Gandalfini was so much more than Tony soprano while also being one of the greatest most iconic

TV characters of all time.

Right.

One of my favorite roles.

One of my favorite roles get shorty.

He has this, you know, he's supposed to be a tough guy in that, but he's actually just

a teddy bear.

He plays that.

So kind of, it was kind of an early Tony soprano role, actually, maybe that's why he got

the role.

I don't know.

But he was a fantastic actor, 100%.

Yeah.

Miss him all the time.

Yeah.

I probably don't go a couple months without thinking about him and missing that guy.

Yeah.

Also born in the state in 1951, bass player for the room over the loans, not his real name.

Where.

But without that.

I would like somebody said there, what did you know, what a name, your kid, Deity.

Like I know.

But what?

Okay, we will.

It's a cartoon character's name.

Yes.

We'll come back and we're going to get into this, uh, should all drive throughs have this

policy for line cutters.

We've got that coming up for you, everybody.

We encourage it ahead to Al Kafe and enjoy.

We'll be back with more show coming up.

Welcome back, everyone.

Morning show here on WFHR, locally grown radio, 975 FM, 1320 AM.

That guitar just always hits me as something about a very guitar.

The way he played it, by the way, it's because of his, uh, playing, uh, two strings at once.

Like the bass, basically he, the normally when you hear, you know, uh, regular, especially

before this, there was, you know, the normal way of playing just one guitar string at

a time when you're playing the melody.

But he did too.

And that's a, that's an old technique.

He didn't invent it.

But it's what made his guitar sound different than everyone else's.

So I, I think my dad tried to tell me about that once and I was too little and I was just

doing the dog.

Yeah.

I was just doing the dog walk.

Yeah, that's what you want to do, right?

Yeah.

Uh, should all drive throughs have this policy for line cutters.

Okay.

A woman in L.A.

On TikTok after somebody cut in front of a bunch of cars at an, in and out, it's notorious

for long lines that take 30 minutes or more.

Wow.

And they are not kidding, especially the L.A. in and out.

Oh my God.

Um, so the popular they are too.

Yes.

Very true.

He was, uh, two cars ahead of her and they took his order anyway.

So when it was her turn, she asked if they saw what he did.

It turned out they did, uh, and he didn't actually get away with it.

They told her they added a quote, home run note to his order.

That's apparently the code that they use when someone cuts.

So other employees know about it.

When they see that note, they don't give you your food right away.

They ask you to pull up and put your blinkers on and make you wait just and they'll, they

make you wait just as long as you would have waited if you didn't cut.

Wow.

They told her he'd probably end up waiting 30 to 40 minutes for his food.

Wow.

I didn't even realize they had a procedure for that.

I, you know, it's surprising.

As I was when I read this this morning, uh, the more I thought about it, the more it seemed

like, oh, yeah, I could see that.

Yeah.

Cause not only does it happen so much that you would and think about this, it happens

so much that they have a code for it that all employees had in an hour aware of it.

Yeah.

There's probably at least 20 or 30 people working at this place and they all know it,

uh, just by, you know, right away, when you see it, everything, um, that tells you how

often it happens.

That's crazy, man.

That's, that's the, so now maybe this is more of a, a big metropolis area thing.

I don't think I have ever experienced that someone cutting in line and to drive through.

I don't remember it.

I don't, I honestly, maybe it's happened.

I just don't remember it, but I don't feel like I've experienced it before.

So I don't know.

Portillo's, I'm a little kid.

It's just my dad and I were picking up food for my mom, uh, because she's pregnant and

wants a specific thing from Portillo.

Sure.

We are, uh, getting there and a guy on a bike, motorbike cuts in front of my dad and my dad

who is not a person who jumps to anger right away or any of these things.

My father is very calm, cool, collected and then you get an idea of where his head is at.

Right.

And so he just, Jimmy, watch the car.

I'm like eight.

Uh, in the, you know, he's like, watch the car and he gets out.

I don't know what he said to this guy, but it was not like him throwing his arms up

in the air or anything like that.

Yeah.

Like screaming, right?

Yeah.

Just that guy left.

Guy left.

True story.

True story.

You ever meet Jim Mailoff?

You go ahead and ask him about it.

Because I would love to know what he said to that.

Right.

Right.

Right.

Exactly.

Wild.

It might have not been anything tense or angry.

It might have just been a basic conversation between two grown men, but a hard time believing

that.

With what happened afterwards, it might have been something a little, you know, a little

stronger.

Took that guy.

That guy had no problem taking off on that bike.

Um, I don't know necessarily like, so I, I, I think that we, we, we have a judicial system

for a reason and we need to let it do its thing.

And I am one of those people that even with everything, my family has been on and we

have been on both sides of the tracks, everybody.

I still believe in this system.

And for any other reason, then it is the best one in the world, I think, um, and, and

it is not perfect by any means.

And there is a lot of work to be done on it, but it's better than the most they have.

And I think it's a good system.

And then there is the justice system that we have as human beings.

There are little things to this, uh, the idea that you are, uh, you are trying to get

to an elevator and, and it's about to shut and somebody keeps it open for you, you know,

and then the person that doesn't, and how we feel about that person, you know, so think

about that, that quick, that quick moment when they don't do that for you.

And it's, it doesn't last long, but if there's that, there's that thing that clicks in your

brain, it's like, ah, a rude, right?

Yeah.

Whether you're in the elevator with that person or you are the person running, you immediately

sentenced that person to five years in your, in that jail of yours.

Yeah, you sentenced that.

How dare you?

We do different things like this.

We, we, we, we judge.

We're all judges.

Uh, and, and we all do it a little bit now.

We're supposed to be better about this and you try to be better about it, but to being

real, especially in the heat of the moment, we do certain things, right?

Um, I'm okay with this because they're not messing with the food, you know, but it can't

do that.

If the reason I read the article already, because I like to be fresh, I like to be fresh

to these.

I like to be as, uh, new to this as our co-hosts and everything.

I want you guys to be in a blind spot, like I'm not or something, right?

But I, I kind of thought where this was going was, they were going to do something to the

food.

And then it cooled to me.

You can't, you can't get away with that.

You can't do that because well, first of all, it would hurt the company.

Yeah.

I mean, you're in your specific restaurant.

That's not, you, you don't want to do that.

But at the same time, and it's not like they're doing anything drastic either.

They're, they're just saying they would still, it would take them this much time to get

their food if they were in the proper order at the drive-through.

So they're, they're just kind of adding, you know, the time it would take anyway, which

honestly seems reasonable to me, right?

And honestly, if it, if it even comes close to getting these people to not do it, like,

because that's the hope, really, really, you'd hope it's, it's to, to correct behavior,

right?

715-424-2600.

Is there ever an okay time in society to cut lines?

And I'm not talking about, oh, I, my, my child is sick and I've got to get in here first

or anything.

Right.

I'm in emergency situations.

Yeah.

Women and children first.

100%.

Yes.

I'm talking about, like, there's ever just a situation where we are okay with this, because

not only that, I've never cut a line.

I don't think I have.

I've never done it.

I've never done it.

I've never done it.

And I have done darn near every bad thing there is.

I, I'm thinking about it and I'm like, wow, I think I actually found something that even

in my, you know, over outside of the, you know, outside of the other side and other

side of the tracks and all those things, life that I've lived and all the bad things

I've done and I've owned all that and have done some, you know, for it.

I've never cut a line.

I, I, I have one thing where I am not so rebellious about.

I respect the lines.

Well, and it could be a little flabbergast as well.

Hey, well, and I think it has something to do with the immediacy of it.

What you're doing when you cut the line is you're saying, you know, you to everyone

else in the line.

Yeah.

And they can see it.

It's not like you can hide, right?

Yeah.

And, and this is what I think that's the thing that irritates people the most is that

they're, they've been there for, you know, they're waiting for a line y'all in that

it together.

You're all a group.

And as soon as someone does that, it ruins the group because it messes up the whole order

of the thing.

People don't like that.

And, and it seems like, why are you more important than me?

Maybe that's the egalitarian spirit of America.

I don't, you know, I don't want to get that deep into it, but it really seems to be the

issue, you know?

Well, to that point, I wonder if it's an issue in other countries as much as it is here.

That's a great question.

I wonder what I would be curious to find that out, actually.

I'm so shocked that I've never done this.

I said flabbergasted.

Flabberg.

I never even said that.

I'm not sure I've ever said that word.

Flabbergasted.

I don't know where it's from.

It's a very useful word.

I feel like in my mind palace, that's like in the attic somewhere that nobody even

do this.

You're going this off.

Yeah.

You're going through the old chest in there.

Flabbergasted.

Wow.

Okay.

Let's pull that one out.

Let's use it.

I haven't used this in a long time.

Does it fit?

Oh, yeah.

Look at that.

It works.

You are.

I want to know if there is a legitimate reason to cut lines because I'm very curious.

I honestly, because most of the things we have in line, you know, maybe, you know, there's

always a reason we're in line, right?

We're going to see a movie, we're at the DMV, whatever it is, either wants or needs, there's

a reason you're there.

Let's just keep it orderly.

You know, wait your turn.

It's, it's, I think it's an equality thing.

I really do.

Great.

Great.

And boy, when it comes to that, that's our thing here in this country, equality, so I think

that's a good idea.

We should strive for anyway.

Yes.

We'll take a quick time out, come back and have some more fun on the morning show.

Welcome back, everybody.

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

Little Diana, Carol, to play us in here, one of our favorites.

As we miss Melissa, you can tell, we have been playing a lot of female singers back here.

I hope you're, I hope you're sleeping in, Melon, I'm not that you can do that.

No, she can't.

No, she can't.

No, she can't.

Well, let's talk about us and, and guys here for a second in our anxiety.

Now real quick, I'm going to be honest with everybody that, as we've talked about before

in this show, and I've actually talked about with a lot of rapid support guests, even

this week, current week, I believe that men need to be going forward.

I'm not talking about being more open and sharing more or any of this.

I'm talking about every case by case basis and every single guy is different.

And all of us are trying to rewire and rewrite the playbook here.

And when it comes to what strength is, when it comes to what it is to be a man and all

that and rewriting that and not in some way of, oh, we've lost what it is to be a man,

blah, blah, blah.

That's just people trying to talk noise and bark at you.

Nothing that has ever made any sense.

It has no real actually value to it other than them spinning it and trying to, they just

don't want to do it.

They don't want to do it.

They're lazy.

It is.

We've got a perfect example of this in the state with a guy representing others and likes

to bark and act like he's a tough guy when really he just can't, he's just a baby.

He's just a child.

He is a child with three, with a three word name that doesn't deserve to be said half

the time and everything.

Right.

He cannot help himself.

He cannot let others speak because he is not confident enough in his own self.

These guys that try to act tough and seem tough are the weakest human beings I've ever
