We Need Parameters (Hour 2)

Good morning, Wisconsin. Morning, world.

Sometimes I'm right, and I can be wrong.

My own beliefs are in my song.

Just make it a drama, and then make a snow,

and that's what I'm in.

Now, everybody, people, let's start the show.

Morning, show at 97.5 FM, 13.20 AM, WFHR.

Got your host, James here.

Join by Aliyah.

Seth, good morning.

And the best listeners in radio.

Thanks for being here, everybody.

We hope you're having a fantastic Friday out there.

Got another hour jam packed of show,

a little bit. We got these things that kids can get into, but can adults?

We'll discuss. We'll get into that.

We'll find out. We have a couple of other fun ones for you lined up as well.

Beginning and all that, along with our schedule.

Local good stories of the day, and it's live radio, who knows what will happen.

I want to give Aliyah a little bit of a time, easing into the chair there,

and everything before putting around the spot.

Oh goodness.

As we are introducing new people to our audience,

and everything Aliyah has been with our team here for a couple of months.

New salesperson, and one of the things we are looking at doing here with,

you know, Melissa moving to her new gig and stuff was,

well, sort of a la Terry steak in the way the morning show used to go,

where Terry did sales, and was also on the ear in the morning show doing that kind of thing.

And to be honest with the audience, to me, when you have good people,

you find uses for them. You put them out there.

And we want to help our sales department.

So it's a win-win kind of situation bringing Aliyah in.

And of course, Aliyah, you are in our most recent Wisconsin Service Community Theatre play.

I'm golden pond, more on that in a little bit.

But we appreciate you being here.

Thank you so much.

And certainly one, everybody, all you businesses out there to reach out

to Aliyah and our sales team for being a part of things over here.

I know that Seth and I both have a show that could use a sponsor.

We would love to have that.

Whether it's Seth Facing Music or Unlabeled or anything like that.

Yeah, and I really want a coffee sponsor for this show.

A coffee sponsor.

Yeah, just a straight up one.

There are no coffee places in town at all.

If only. I don't know why are you thinking any of those from.

I'm just looking for free coffee.

I'll be honest with everybody, and that's all that's about.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with that.

No, no.

We dive into entertainment news.

And one of the most famous houses in American history is opening its doors to the public

for the first time ever.

The Brady Bunch House in North Hollywood

will be accessible to fans on November 7th, 8th and 9th.

And while bookings are sold out, you can register to be on the wait list

or be notified if somebody is not able to fulfill their equipment.

When the show was produced back in the day, the house was only used for exterior shots.

The inside of the Brady home was created on a sound stage

and the inside of the actual house looked nothing like it.

But HGTV bought the house back in 2018

and renovated it so that it does look like the house from the inside of the show.

Oh wow.

And of course, they recorded it for their series of a very Brady renovation.

But if that was back in 2018, I don't know if they've sold it since then,

or if they're a part of this opening house.

Yeah, right.

They're having people through there.

Boy, you know, when you started off that sentence, man,

with like one of the most iconic,

and that was like the last thing I was thinking of.

I was like.

Oh wow.

Sandadoo from Citizen Kane or, you know, like the house from Gone with the Wind or something like.

Oh wow. I mean, what? The Brady Bunch.

I would say certainly one of the more popular TV shows,

but I never saw one second of the Brady Bunch.

I was just out of my wheelhouse.

Yeah, just lost your Gen X car.

I kind of did.

I'll get it back.

I disagree.

You'd have watched that Brady Bunch.

Popular that, yeah.

Yeah, my sister was the same way.

She was really into it because of that, I think.

I would say that it's popular,

so there's that part of it.

But I don't know that it's one of the most,

because I don't know how much that show has like been brought back.

There's certain shows that, you know,

kind of stick around young generational find it.

I don't know the last time I've heard of anybody,

other than what you're touching on there earlier.

But it is a cultural reference that you hear all the time.

Yeah, to be fair.

I get accused of that.

I am a woman with three daughters,

and my husband was a man with four sons,

and everybody calls us the Brady Bunch for me.

That's a little too on the nose.

It really is.

I can't imagine how many times you bust you out here.

All the time, all the time.

So part of the reason I wanted to bring this up

is what are some of the most famous homes in TV history?

Oh, okay.

I think that there's some great ones.

I think of the Mary to a children's set right away.

But that's in part because I just love the simplicity

and almost theater-like part of that-

It looks like a stage.

It really does, yeah.

With Al would fall off the roof.

Give me every time.

The Tanner House full house.

That one's pretty good.

Yeah, I remember that one.

Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

Yeah.

Another one.

I would get you on that one, yeah.

What about the Beverly Hillbillies?

That one.

That one.

That was a little bit of a-

Again, another show I've never seen a frame of

so I couldn't-

I don't remember.

I don't even know what it looks like.

It feels like it basically in order for it to be a well-known house on TV

it had to have a staircase.

Like almost all of these in a mansion.

I did not do this intentionally.

I know what you're talking about.

Yeah.

You all have to have a staircase.

You know you're going to have a hit TV show if you have a staircase.

Well, because I'm immediately thinking of the Hustle Bowl home.

Oh, yeah.

That one would make more sense.

Like a brownstone, wasn't it?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

That was fancy.

Yeah.

That was fancy.

Yeah.

The most- one of the most far-fetched TV shows of all time where you have not only the-

It's not so much that you have a doctor and a-

A lawyer.

Yeah, right.

Yeah, right.

That are a part of it.

You have 20 uncles that just happen to be jazz legends.

Yeah, actually.

There was a point that show where it was just about Cosby bringing out his friends and so-

Is jazz friends?

Yeah, right.

They were always an uncle.

Yeah.

They were coming on and on and on.

Yeah, right.

Yeah.

There's some good ones out there.

Pam just gave us a great one all in the family.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

I'm more think about- the thing I think most about is Archie's chair.

Yeah.

Because it had like the blankets on it because-

Yeah.

That was my grandparents' man.

They had chairs like that.

Then blankets and stuff on them.

Because they cover up holes or whatever.

I don't know why they add them there.

And I'm thinking of this probably because it came up earlier on-

The Sunrise Show Seth, but Sanford and Sun.

Yeah.

And part of that.

But that was it was- I think more of the jump yard.

Yes.

Not the house and that one.

But yeah.

But yeah.

Yeah.

Modern ones, modern family, breaking bad.

Those are some of the ones that are a little bit more I can remember-

Surprise.

Oh, yes.

Oh my god.

Yeah.

Because I'm like right in the middle of my binge of the sopranos.

That's what it comes to mind.

But, you know, their house.

Their house is pretty awesome.

All of these answers are great.

But they fail to mention the one that is the most recognizable.

I know.

I know it.

I know it.

Yep.

I know it's out there.

There's probably actually multiple now in different areas.

I wouldn't be surprised.

You know, nobody's going to believe me on this one.

I don't have any interest in seeing it.

Yes.

I don't really have any interest in it.

I don't know why.

I feel weird about that.

Like, but I'm like, I'm supposed to where I should.

But I just don't have really-

Like, if I was in the same city, I would probably go-

Just try to buy, right?

Yeah.

But I'm looking at it.

Like, it's not a destination for-

Or, you know, vacation destination for me or something like that.

Which is-

I cannot like factor in-

What?

And it's a cartoon.

Yeah.

And like, we've just talked about before, James.

I mean, they just built rooms when they needed it to make-

Yeah.

Like, to make a gag work.

So there's like 34 rooms in that little dinky house, right?

That's true.

It's true.

Yeah.

I don't know if it counts, but the friend's apartment is probably

should be mentioned.

I was going to ask, you know, what are our parameters here

to apartment?

Because I-

Yes.

That also came in mind.

Right.

The friends-

The friends to apartments.

Yeah.

You know, those are very iconic, right?

Yeah.

It was a home.

So I guess-

I always think of it a little bit like it was an apartment complex

because of the-

And the people coming in and out all the time.

But the Golden Girl set.

Like that one's a pretty good one.

Oh, yeah.

That's pretty good one.

That's a big bang theory.

Yeah.

I got many stairs.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's right, yeah.

Knowing you stairs better than that.

Yeah.

I learned one thing from all of this.

You watch way too much TV.

I do.

That's a lot of TV.

I have too many streaming services.

Ooh, yeah.

It does work out perfectly for this show.

It does work out well.

Seriously, it'll-

It'll serve you well.

I'm a fountain of useless knowledge.

Fantastic.

It's all you need.

Ooh, tap into that.

That's fantastic.

Taking a look at another interesting story here.

It's hard to imagine Leonardo DiCaprio by any other name.

Especially with how long he has been a star.

I've-

Actually, I was talking about this with a couple of our actors in

on Golden pond about him.

I think he has one of the more-

Especially once he, you know,

we get much more towards the end of his career

and really being able to take a step back.

It's going to be one of the most fascinating careers we've

ever seen in acting.

I think so.

I think so.

Coming out the gate and I think giving one of the great-

Like, you can make the argument still his greatest performance

is what's eating Gilbert Grape.

It's incredible.

It's such a moving, incredible performance by him.

I have never seen it.

It's-

It's-

It's-

It's a-

It's a well-known, but I don't know if a lot of people have

actually seen it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But a basketball diaries and some of the indie films he did

then being on every single teen beat magazine there is

and losing what cred he was building as an actor

and all of a sudden becoming just a face.

Like a teen idol, right?

Yeah.

And instead of kind of like just taking his ball and going home,

like fighting through that to do more indie stuff,

even like losing agents,

just so that he could do the work he wanted to do.

And then of course pairing up with Martin Scorsese,

one of the greatest directors of all time

and just completely changing his career.

Right.

Going from a pretty boy to showing everybody,

no, I'm one of the best actors out there.

Right.

Like regardless of what my face looks like.

Yeah.

This happens to a lot of actors,

Mickey Rork famously went into boxing just to destroy his face

because he was so tired of being known as just a face.

But it's really interesting.

I'm not a giant Leo fan or anything like that,

but I do respect greatness.

And I-

I think we're going to be able to take a look back

and then realize we didn't realize how darn good this guy was.

I share a birthday with him.

So maybe my career will take that same responsibility.

That's right.

We can only hope.

At the start of Leo's career,

maybe you run into something like this too.

At the start of Leo's career, he was advised to use a stage name

because his real name sounded too ethnic.

You run into that too.

Same.

Same.

His agent told him,

quote, they're never going to hire you.

DiCaprio is at Italian last name, of course.

His father, George, is a mix of Italian and German.

Leo's agent suggested he go with Lenny Williams.

What?

There's even headshots of young Lenny out of the Caprio

with the name Lenny Williams.

Williams was inspired by Leo's actual middle name, Will Helm.

Oh, okay.

Well, yeah, that makes sense, okay.

Leo says his dad tore up the headshot with the fake name

and said, quote,

over my dead body and the rest is history.

Wow.

Good job, dad.

Yeah, wow.

Okay, I got to say something, man,

because this has been bugging me for a while about names

and people in Hollywood and stuff.

You're wanting people to change their name.

I think it's the opposite, man.

You need to have a name that's distinct.

I think that actually in the end,

because people see it and they're like, wow.

Well, that's an interesting name, you know?

Leonardo DiCaprio.

It's got a nice flow to it, right?

And everything like that.

Benedict Cumberbatch, you know, another,

it stands out.

It really does,

which you'd think would be a plus.

You see that name on there.

Wow, that's an interesting name.

Lenny Williams, what is that?

It's just, you know, blah, whatever, you know?

It's forgetful.

It's very forgetful, but Leonardo.

I mean, wow.

Yeah.

We would like to apologize to anybody

out there named Lenny Williams.

I'm serious.

Sorry, Lenny.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to do this.

But you have to smirk your name.

I think Lenny would agree.

Yeah, right.

You'd be like, no, it's Leonard.

Thank you very much, Leonard.

I agree with you.

I think you're 100% right, man.

And I also, I know verbatim what this is like

in the pressure that is put on actors.

When, in 08, I get my screen of just guilt.

And I finally get, I get an agent.

And I'm told the only way to get work is to have an agent.

And my first agent, I was really lucky.

Cal, who I am still friends with, was really good to me.

But he told me right out the gate,

your name's going to be a problem.

Especially back then, when I, when I for in 08,

when a lot of things were different in our country,

which is not that different now.

But having a Middle Eastern last name,

and then being a mix of Italian,

and a Jewish, and Egyptian, and all this,

like it was already tough enough.

And I was, they describe it to you as,

it's, it's a uphill battle.

You are going in there, and you are trying to win these people over.

And everything that you can do to give you yourself

a little bit of an edge is important.

So I had, I was convinced to go by James J. Marlow.

And there's some of my social media that still has that on there.

And I got this, I got, I get this opportunity in this gig

to go out to California, film this TV show.

And I have to make a decision

because they're going to start putting my name into actual stuff

and everything.

And what I'm going to do, my family threw me a going away party.

And I was sitting back with my, I was sitting back with my pop

and we were talking about it.

And I carry the name of James Mailoff.

I am the fourth.

It is, in my family, when they came to this country,

it's all they had with their name.

So it was important to carry that name on.

And I was talking to my pop about it.

My pop could not been more excited.

He was more excited than I was.

And I was going out to California.

And I was going to do this.

And talking to him, and the name comes up.

And he's like, oh, no, that sounds good.

And that was it.

And he couldn't have been cooler about it.

Couldn't have been nicer about it.

And all that did was tell me right away, I can't do this.

I don't think that I could be proud of my career

if it's not on my name.

And the idea of, it really just hit me.

Like, I'm not just, it's not just my name.

When I put it in there, my dad, my papa,

they get to feel that too.

And all of a sudden, I'm reminded,

oh, when they light up, when they see my name in a bill

or something like that, as far as a play bill,

I should be correct about that.

Not the electricity bill.

Not the electricity bill.

It's part of their excitement.

And just that alone was enough for me.

Let alone once I started thinking about the pride of my name

and all those things.

Now, I did not start out that way.

I did not always have pride in my name.

There are six grade book reports out there

with the name Vincenzo Demore on them,

because that was going to be my name.

That was what I was going to go by.

You could not convince a six grade meme different.

I was going to do that.

I think that when you are a young person,

and this is all you've wanted to do,

you wanted to act, you want to be out there

and be in these things, maybe you wanted to be a singer,

whatever it is, the people that are around you

that you think no better and are looking out for you,

they can convince you of these things.

It's, I think that we need more and more

of the Benedict Cumberbatches, of these people

that are making a name of themselves.

You're a name, man.

Yeah.

It might help you stand out.

There are more stories of working out than not.

Yeah, I agree.

If the talent's there seriously,

it doesn't matter what your name is.

I mean, if you get the breaks.

Yeah.

You've got to get the breaks too.

That's right.

Looking what's new on your small screen,

Celebrity Wheel of Fortune,

premieres tonight at 7 on ABC.

They've got Bruno Tonoli and Derek Q on there.

I don't know who those people are.

Dancing with the star.

Dancing with the star.

Okay.

Derek, that's it.

Oh, seriously?

Oh, man.

I don't even, he's going to be prancing around so much.

I mean, around the wheelies.

He's energetic.

He's very energetic.

Tomorrow on Netflix,

the Karate Kid Legends is streaming premiere

on Sunday Night Football,

Dallas Cowboys.

Of course, the Green Bay Packers.

It's going to be a big one right there.

The 37th season premiere of these Simpsons,

premieres this Sunday.

Can I wait?

You've got that.

And you've got a new episode.

Oh, a new season of Bob's Burgers as well.

All right.

Another great one.

So that's what's new on your small screen.

Looking at nothing too big and wide release in movies.

Probably not going to be seeing anything for a little while here.

But the one that kind of crept up,

I didn't know.

They did a Gabby's Dollhouse, the movie.

What?

And it's with like real, like people it looks like.

Oh, wait.

Oh, I think I saw the trailer for this.

I saw the trailer for that one.

I did see the trailer for that one.

That one is the movie version of the Netflix TV series.

Okay.

I imagine that might do.

Okay.

All right.

They've got a new horror movie,

The Strangers, chapter two.

Guess what?

The Strangers hurt people.

Oh, shocking.

All of these horror movies are so lame nowadays to me, man.

They're all the same.

You know what else they are, James?

They're cheap.

Yeah.

To make.

They're cheap to make.

Very limited release.

You won't see it around here.

I almost guarantee you.

But should you should see it around here?

And I think it would do very well in areas like this.

Blue Moon.

This is a semi-autobiographical,

Ethan Hawke plays Lorenz Hart.

A Richard Rogers, former songwriting partner.

That's right.

Who bitterly gribbles with alcoholism and depression in 1943,

opening night of Oklahoma,

after realizing their partnership was ending now

that Rogers had teamed up with a guy named Oscar Hammerstein.

Not sure if anybody has ever heard that name before.

But Rogers and Hammerstein?

No, not at all.

Yeah.

Now, before they split up,

Rogers and Hart were Rogers and Hammerstein.

They weren't.

They were.

The classic Blue Moon.

The lady is a tramp.

My funny Valentine.

All those guys.

They went on to earn 34 Tony Awards,

15 Oscars, two Pulitzer's, two Grammys.

Margaret quickly looks beautiful in this.

Bobby kind of, kind of Ellie.

Yeah.

I love him, by the way.

Yeah, he's great.

And those of us that are fans of the BBC series Sherlock,

or maybe we're a fan of Fleabag,

you know Adam Scott.

Oh, yeah.

He's so darn good.

He's magnificent.

He is playing Hart in this.

Oh, he's playing Hart.

He looks really good.

I cannot wait to see this one.

Looks great.

Ethan Hawke, one of the more handsome individuals

I've ever seen.

Right.

And they just trip him down so much to make him get into this.

And he looks.

He is Lorenzo Hart.

Yeah.

Like he looks in sounds just like him.

I think that there could be,

I have not heard any,

but I believe there should be Oscar buzz for this one.

I think Ethan Hawke should at least be nominated.

And I can't say that he's going to win,

but he should be nominated for this.

And he should be darn it.

We need Ethan Hawke to win awards.

That's what I say.

I agree.

I think so.

We'll come back.

We'll talk a little bit about our newsletter,

what's new on your local theatre stage

and some more fun coming up

with Alia Seth and James on the morning show at WFHR.

Welcome back, everybody.

Morning show here at WFHR,

locally grown radio.

Seth, Alia, James here.

Thanks so much for joining us.

Hope you're all having a good one out there.

Just realize that I have not used that September song

very much this September.

How dare you?

How dare you?

I didn't want to overuse it.

I've used it twice.

I definitely didn't overdo it at least.

Right.

I wanted to talk a little bit of some good things

that we got going on here at the studios.

Our WFHR newsletter had a new edition premiere yesterday.

Encourage everybody to go sign up for that

if you have not already.

Not only will you get one stop shot

for Central Wisconsin News,

some great reporting being done by this team around here.

Great articles in there.

But you can see our own Chuck Genaro in a suit.

Like, and he looks good.

It's a good shot of Chuck.

I've never, ever, ever seen Chuck dress like that.

Oh, yeah.

For his wild.

Yeah, it's crazy.

Yeah.

Oh, like of some others, man.

He cleans up good.

Yeah, Chuck cleans up good.

Big shot up to him.

And of course, our whole team putting that together.

Get on over there.

Sign up for that newsletter.

Check it out.

Everybody support local support.

The work that it being done by our journalists

and our reporters around here.

And of course, while you're there,

why not sign up and get us a recipe?

We want recipes.

Yes.

Send them in.

We want them.

Yes, food is good.

Food is good.

And it is universal.

And it brings people together.

Right.

Those were some of the intentions of us bringing back

our WFHR cookbook.

Yeah.

We are celebrating 85 years strong right here

in Central Wisconsin.

It's amazing.

And this cookbook is a love letter to our community.

We want to share with our community.

Be a part of it.

Get us those recipes.

Not only will you get addition of the cookbook.

But your recipe in your family will be immortalized.

And more who lies.

Yes.

So I will say I've gone to the forum several times

intending to submit a recipe.

But I discover I just I'm the type of person

just throws things in a pot.

And I don't know how to put measurements.

Right.

Yeah.

You have to do it.

My mom had that same problem when she was asked

to submit recipes because she did very similar things.

Mm-hmm.

She just eyeball guessed.

She kind of just guessed what it was.

She's like, well, I do this.

Oh, let's see.

Maybe that's a teaspoon or whatever.

Onions tomatoes.

The bamboo.

My mother is an incredibly precise cook.

If it says this, she's putting it in.

Right.

My Nana, who she learned a little bit from and everything,

could not be more opposite.

All Italian cooking is feeling.

Yeah.

It's all feeling.

If you look at a recipe for Italian stuff,

it's kind of like just just some old Italian lady

with her hands up like shrugging.

Yeah.

That's the recipe.

It's hard to figure it out.

Yeah.

It's hard to put that in there to submit that.

But we figured it out a way.

We got what in there.

Yeah.

And we want you to get yours in there.

Everybody go to wfhr.com and submit your recipes.

Thank you so much to everybody who already has.

Yes.

We're going to look out for more information on that cookbook

and how we're going to celebrate 85 years in this community.

Woo-hoo.

And tonight is night number two for the fall production

of Wisconsin's Rabbits Community Theaters on Golden Pond.

We have a show tonight at seven over at the WRCT Auditorium.

And then tomorrow there will be a two o'clock matinee.

Next week, doing it all over again Thursday, Friday,

seven o'clock shows and one final one next Saturday at two o'clock.

We've been having a lot of fun with this talking about

letting the audience look behind the curtain a little bit of Leo.

And I've been talking about of that nauseam

and everything as a director.

One of the things that I have had to learn the hard way

as you and the cast know is that once we get to this stage,

there's really nothing the director's job is done.

If I've done a good job, you guys don't need me anymore.

There's really nothing.

There's no notes.

There's no none of those things.

So it's a little weird thing to be able to take my hands off the wheel.

But as you and your incredible cast take your hands on the wheel,

how was opening night last night?

It was fabulous.

We had such a great audience.

And with this particular play,

we've got such a small cast.

So, you know, the audience just they were cracking up.

And that was really, really great.

And we had some really touching moments.

And no, so much fun, so much fun doing this.

Good, good to hear.

Very good.

That's what it's all about.

Yeah.

As we've talked about many times,

whether it's what we're doing right now or being on that stage

and really most things in life,

if you're having fun more likely, they will.

Yeah.

And just an incredible job that everybody is doing.

Even if I wanted to give you guys notes, I wouldn't have any.

I'd be making things up and everything.

Because honestly, it is everything I could have asked for and more in this production.

And it's been great to see the only thing that you guys were missing

was an audience.

And now that you got that, it's all come together.

Yeah.

It was so much more magical.

I mean, we've, as a cast, I think we've really connected.

And there's this, this play has comedy.

It's got a lot of really poignant touching parts.

And I think we felt the poignant touching parts in rehearsals.

But we hadn't been getting the laughs.

So getting the laughs just made all the difference.

Yeah.

I made all the difference.

She does.

She goes so far.

Yeah, it does.

Check out this American classic on Golden Pond right here in Rapids at WRCT Auditorium.

Again, show tonight at seven.

And then we have another one.

Oh, we have a matinee tomorrow at two.

And the next week Thursday Friday, seven o'clock shows wrap up

with a two o'clock matinee on October 4th.

Get your tickets at WRCtheater.org.

My local support, local support, the arts, everybody.

We will take a quick break.

Get to our news, sports.

Take care of our partners.

We'll come back.

And we're going to talk about, yeah, what are these things that?

So the top just for kids things.

And what they, what we know are, can adults play with any of these?

Or do anything with any of these?

Or should they?

Yes.

That's the question.

That is, no, that's the part of the question.

That's coming up on Morning Show at WFHR.

Welcome back, everyone.

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

Leo Seth and James here with you.

Thanks so much for hanging out with us.

Getting a Friday show going here and getting into an interesting one.

With Disney adults and Pokemon nuts.

There's not so much a just for kids anymore.

Right.

A lot of this stuff has kind of grown in that regard.

You know, for a long, long time going back to the early days of Disney.

They realized that, well, adults are watching these too.

We've got to try to make these somewhat entertaining for adults because adults are more likely to play them for their kids.

If we include some adult like humor, two things.

And that, you know, spread out to almost everything after that.

Now we've gotten to a point where it's almost nothing is just for kids.

Right.

It's kind of gotten to that point a little bit, which seems a little skewed to me.

You know, I don't know.

I never really had an issue watching something that my kids like, but I didn't.

You know, that that never seemed to be a problem.

I got really lucky.

My kids seemed to like a lot of the things that I did.

But for the most part, I find that to be a little, well, that's, you know, that's not really parenting.

I mean, you know, listen in the kids' bop and stuff like that is something you kind of got to do as a parent sometimes.

Some of those songs and some of those songs.

I feel like you like me.

Your favorite band does actually does children's albums.

Oh, yeah.

So you were like, oh, yeah.

No, I got this.

I know what you're talking about.

Yeah.

I've listened to those albums too.

Yeah.

So someone pulled over 2000 Americans and asked about dozens of quote, kid things.

And here are the top 10 things we think are just for kids.

So they're those things that we are not going to touch.

We're not going to mess with.

Oh, okay.

We should be just for kids.

It doesn't look like they're in any particular order.

So I'm going to go from 10 on up at number 10 trading cards.

So Pokemon cards, baseball cards, things like that.

My father would like a word with you in the in the in the other room in the other room.

And it's just going to be you two talking.

That's wild.

That's wild to me because I mean trading.

I mean sports.

They're not just for I mean, I specifically sports cards.

But again, at the same time, I mean, there's nothing about Pokemon that screams.

It's only for like adolescents or anything like that.

You know, who doesn't want this to be just for kids?

The people that make these cards.

You know, the disposable income of a child and a kid,

compared to a grown man like my father who was retired.

And this is his thing.

Yeah.

Right.

And especially after the pandemic, the rise of card collecting.

How much they might begin everything.

Like that seems a little bit of a reach to me.

Yeah.

I think that that one.

I don't know.

I don't know about that.

I mean, I'm.

I'm just saying, I'm sorry.

It's like, I like to be on Disney movies, which we just got done.

Yeah, you know, they're kind of forever, they're very hard now to see movies that aren't like James was saying.

They're not kids.

They're a family of movies because hopefully, they're something for everyone.

I mean, look at the success of like bluey,

right, which is everyone loves it.

And I've watched episodes of it,

and it's very much geared towards kids,

but the interaction with the adults, dogs,

and the other, you know, the kid dogs, is very,

you know, it's, it's very normal kind of thing.

It's stuff that you would, if you were clever enough,

that you'd say to your kids, or something like that,

which I think is part of the enjoyment.

There's very much the parents, and there's very much the kids,

and it's their interactions, which I think why people love it so much.

I've heard from multiple people that,

like his dad, Bluey's dad, Scout,

is the best TV dad.

Period.

He's very good, yeah, he's very good.

Looks like I got something to binge.

I think you'll enjoy it, it's kind of fun.

At number eight, Harry Potter.

Yeah, I mean, now that one,

I think the Harry Potter fans would have a lot to say about.

Probably.

If you grew up with it, and you continue with it,

that makes a lot of sense to me.

And I'm not saying you can't get into it later,

that's cool, but I think you have less chance.

The series, and putting JK Rowling herself to a complete side,

just talking about the books and the series and the movies and everything.

One of the smarter things that they did,

and you know it was really smart,

because now every franchise is trying to do mimic the very same thing,

is growing with their audience.

You get them at the 10, 12-year-old age,

and they age with Harry.

They age with those books.

And just like the first music we hear at that age,

any time Harry Potter comes up, boom nostalgia.

And there are a few things you love,

the more the older you get, the more you love nostalgia.

Again, the people that print these books and everything,

they've got a word for you as far as selling the kids and stuff.

Oh yeah.

Dressing up in costume, 14% believe that,

so one in seven people believe, think adults,

shouldn't be dressing up for Halloween at all.

One in seven, and that's actually kind of a line.

I dress up in costume all the time.

Yeah, right, seriously.

Isn't that why people do theater,

just like dress up basically?

But I just do it in my normal life.

I will put on costume and I will go out to dinner or something like that.

Right on, right on.

This is why my children hate me.

Oh god, mom's doing it again.

Oh my god.

It makes you perfect for this.

Yeah, I don't know.

I think that that's a little bit.

I feel like that's a little silly, honestly.

I mean, in this day and age,

it's maybe the most serious person on the planet.

Even me, I think that we're taking things too seriously.

That's a little too far.

A little too far.

A little too much.

I think that for yourself, if you don't think you as an adult

should wear them.

I got to a point and I barely did this at all anyway,

but I got to a point where I just not turn my hat backwards anymore,

man.

It just don't look right to me.

It don't feel right.

There's certain things that you yourself, I think,

if you see a new police or whatever, that's different.

So much work.

Telling others.

That's the thing for me for costume.

Yeah.

So much work.

Set this a mummy every year.

Yeah.

Not a very good one either.

At number six, Legos.

How dare you?

Well, there.

I do not.

I fail to see the reason why it's only for children.

Right.

Building stuff.

People, how is it any different than a guy that does,

or Gal even, does this would work?

Yeah.

Right?

Buildings like cabinets and things like that.

Yeah.

There's no difference, really.

I mean, yeah, they're two different in how you make it,

but it's your building something, right?

I see no difference.

Yeah.

I've been wanting to get one of those, the flower bouquet Lego sets,

but I have no time.

Yes.

Because I'm in all of the place.

Right.

That's my fault.

You need to.

You need to.

I know.

I know.

Hey, a year ago, my kids asked me,

did I have any hobbies?

And I didn't.

And so I got one and now they're all ruined the day they asked me.

Yeah.

Well, that's what you just can be careful you asked for.

I really.

Speaking of hobbies.

So Legos, I mentioned I'm joking about loving them.

They do love Legos, but I didn't get to play with them much as a kid

because I just grew up very fast.

And we didn't have a lot of toys growing up.

My sister loves coloring books.

And that shows up at number five.

Jillian, I would almost guarantee is coloring.

In the past 24 hours, Jillian probably has colored a coloring book

and somewhere with her boys.

Because she didn't get to do that a lot growing up.

Right.

So I think that there's something being missed here.

And I think it comes from a place of privilege that I have nothing against

anybody that got to grow up with.

But it actually got to be kids or actually have toys.

There's a lot of us that grew up not having a single bit of that.

And as you become adults, it doesn't necessarily mean that also you get to be a kid.

But you, whether it is your own kids and getting to all of a sudden experience

what it's like to have toys or just as an adult kind of wanting to, again,

nostalgia have a little bit of that idea of what that's like.

It's not that you're, you know, regressing.

It's not as if you're trying to go back and be a child again.

Right.

But to have some, especially in our day-to-day lives that are so intense and so heavy,

to have these little brief moments to look forward to, to enjoy.

Like putting together, like my sister and I, for a while there when she was working at Barnes & Noble,

she would get the LEGO sets of like, we had the Sears Tower we made and things like that.

And putting the time into that.

To what you were saying there, Seth, it's not that different than wanting to put together

some woodwork or something.

Yeah, building anything.

It's therapeutic. It's therapeutic.

Right.

Like you're focused and you're not thinking about your problems or the electric thing.

You're working with your hands.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Actually, especially if you don't do that in your normal life, you know,

except maybe typing something.

But if you don't literally work with your hands, it can be very therapeutic.

It can be very calming and enjoyable.

If it's enjoyable to you, what's the difference of sitting back and playing a video game

or a board game for a couple hours or putting together a LEGO set or coloring?

Perfectly.

And it connects you back to that childlike water with it.

Whether you grew up fast or not, everybody has that time in their life where I was just an innocent child.

And this is a way to kind of connect back to that very primal who you are as a person.

And doing that is not just our opportunity to drink from the nostalgic cup,

but it's also hopefully to make us better adults and better parents.

Yeah, absolutely.

We, the older we get, the more, the more and more we forget what it's like to be little,

to be young and all that.

And the more we understand what that was like and remember what that was like,

I think the better parents we can break.

Right.

Just don't get lost in it.

Don't get lost in the sales.

That's not good.

Don't get too many stuffed animals.

Number four stuffed animals.

It's stuffed animals.

I think are fine.

They just can't, you know, be more of them than you.

Like the people in the house like, well, not even that so much.

Okay.

There is a line that it becomes creepy.

There is definitely a line where that happens.

It shouldn't be tough for you to open your bedroom door.

That should not be a thing.

You could literally suffocate a mountain of stuffed animals.

No, I don't think I have ever dated somebody that did not have some stuffed animals.

No matter what age, late teens, late age, whatever,

there's some kind of stuffed animal in the room somewhere.

Maybe not a lot of them, but some.

It seems to be a thing that there's still, you know, stick.

Okay.

This might be the one that I agree with the most on this list.

In fact, maybe the only one I do.

At number three, bumper bowling.

So for those that don't know, you know, when you're early,

when you're a kid and you're learning the bowl,

there's bumpers in the relains so that the ball doesn't go into the gutter and everything.

Yeah.

At a certain age, yeah.

Yeah.

I'm alright with that.

I don't want to see a grown man do it.

If you still need bumpers in your bowling, pick a different hobby.

Right.

You have issues with bowling.

You might need to pick a different.

Yeah.

And it's okay.

There's no shame in that.

Just picks up the notes.

I think there's more shame in being a grown man.

Yeah.

Right.

Let's feel like.

Yeah.

I can't do that.

What about adults?

Now, I don't know anything about this subject, obviously.

But there are plenty of people that have those American girl dolls.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I've seen them in the keep man the boxes, their collector items,

things like that.

I don't know if that's the same thing.

And you've been hitting.

Does that play on it action figures?

No, I would include action figures in this because I think James just hit on it.

Are you playing with the dolls?

Are called.

They're collecting.

Those are two very different things.

Like you said, if you're a collector, yeah, you keep it in the box because that's where

the value is, right?

Not being touched, not, you know, being in pristine condition and all this thing, which

is just, you know, it's with cards too, the same thing that's weird if you ask me.

But, you know, teacher.

Agreed.

Yeah.

But it's very different than, you know, kids playing with the doll.

Those are very different things, yes.

And I would, yeah, action figures, I consider dolls and all that stuff.

It's the same thing.

I mean, if you're playing with them with your kids, but I don't, I can't envision myself sitting

at home, just breaking out a doll and, yeah, I was looking at a box, you know, lovingly,

wow, so, so great.

I will never understand that.

I get collectors and I get the idea of wanting to keep an item pristine and all that, but

the idea of buying a toy and not ripping it out of the box is insane to me.

Even at 48.

That does seem a little wild to me, yeah.

At number one on the list, trick or treating, 81% agree it's at least mostly for kids.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I agree on that one.

It's if, if you want to celebrate Halloween as an adult, you have a party.

Yeah.

That's what you do.

Yeah.
