Good morning, Wisconsin. It's a new day.
Let's get it started time for the morning show here at 97-5 FM 13-20 AM WFH.
Are your hosts James behind the mic? Join by our co-host for today our CEO of the
United Way of Southwood and M's Counties, Terry Johns. Good morning. Got the band
together on a Friday. That feels good. We're gonna have some fun today
everybody. Got the LCAP birthday anniversary club right around the corner for you
looking forward to diving into that for the not just today but Saturday and Sunday.
We will look after our break. We'll come back and we will make you a star
the day with our friends from Culver's. Got a really fun TV theme song for
everybody today. We'll be celebrating that one and getting you some free
Culver's while we're at it. Terry and I will also get into some other fun
topics. Kick things off in the 10 o'clock hour with some entertainment news. Let
you know what's new in your small screen, big screen, and your local theater
stage. All that coming up. And they got a couple of fun topics for us, Terry. The top
office distractions by generation. That that was an interesting breakdown.
I'm curious about that and got a couple of other topics for us to get into
throughout the day today. But we want to kick things off the way we like to around
here with two major places. One, it is the final day for our go for the green
our gold text to win multi-state contest shout out to our local sponsors Rapids
transmission. This is we've been doing this this two weeks now. We've been doing
this today is the day today is the final day. Get that civic media handy and get
ready to text us a keyword at the top of the 9 11 1 3 5 and 7 o'clock hours.
And your daily chance to win some gold jewelry $200 cash and you win one of
those and you get in on the tickets for Green Bay versus Minnesota in November.
We're going to make you make plans. We're going to help you do that. And all you
got to do is text us a keyword at the top of the again the 9 11 1 3 5 and 7
hours. Oh, 9 o'clock hour. Well, that's that's now, Terry. Oh, well, we should get
that keyword out there. Seeking our luck out there. Yes. Good luck, everybody.
Good luck. Luck is the word LUCK. Text that to us through the civic media app and
good luck to all of our sensuous consonites out there. We are biased about
this one. We want our sensuous consonites out there representing and winning
this thing. And we hope you're a lucky duck. Yeah. And you win. Yeah. Good luck to
you out there. Everybody. Texas that keyword luck. LUCK. We will get that out
there a couple of times throughout the more hour here today. And of course,
be listening throughout the day for that keyword to text us get multiple
chances to win. Thank you so much to everybody who's downloaded the app and is
playing along. We appreciate you. Also wanted to get into some conversation
about the United Way, Terry. I know that now is a busy time for you guys have a
lot of things going on. Where did you want to start? I did get a news letter
today. It showed up about an hour ago. I encourage everybody to go to UWS
stuff. I'm sorry to go to UWSUWSWAC.org. I've never messed that up before.
A little tongue time today. I got excited. I encourage you to go over to the
United Way. Sign up for that newsletter. Keep up the date and the things that
they are doing over there because to this campaign season, it is go time.
Yeah. So the message this morning was to recruit volunteers for our
annual day of caring in a strange that the calendar has flipped to October.
And it's still 80 like it's wild. So it doesn't feel like it. But I think that
that also is, you know, hurting us a little bit with volunteer signups
because people just don't aren't thinking about raking leaves.
So October 25th is the day our annual day of caring and we need
rakers. So we are trending a little bit behind with volunteer signups. But
again, understanding that we just flipped the calendar page as well.
If you are willing to help out elderly and disabled in our community,
Saturday, October 25th, we start with Pancake Breakfast at the Grand Rapids
Lions Club. You get your raking assignments done by noon. Like I mean how
how much you get a free t-shirt, free breakfast, feel great about about helping
someone else and you still have more than half the day. So we do encourage you
to sign up. You can visit us at uwac.org. There is a little form there that you
fill out, indicate your t-shirt size. And you know, then aside from that,
this is this is the time when we are raising money. And you know, that's
that's really the call to action for the community is step up,
join us, make a donation to our fall campaign. These dollars that we're
raising now are going to be used for programs in 2026. So starting January
1st, you know, we start sending checks helping to support 28 local programs.
We also have 10 of our own initiatives. And you know, a couple of really important
programs, notably the 211 program. When we think about mental health
month and you know, some of the crises that that members of our
community are facing, one of the resources available to you is 211.
You can call 211 for those reasons. You can call 211 just because you have a
need of some kind, right? Like you need someone to help you navigate. You need
to understand what programs are in the community for the challenge that you
or maybe one of your loved ones is facing. So I do encourage you to take
advantage of the 211 program. It is 247 in the state of Wisconsin.
You literally dial 211 just like you might dial 911 or you will dial 911 if you
have an emergency. I'm dial 211 if you have a need for information and resources.
And the resource specialist will let you know what's out there. Sometimes there's,
you know, there might be eight options of programs. Sometimes there's one option and
sometimes there's none. Unfortunately, but you know, that's our reality. But
but we really want to get community members who have a need connected with
programs that are serving that need. And that is, I would say, the best way,
the best way that you can, you can do that. It is an anonymous phone call because
sometimes that question comes up. You know, how is my privacy protected?
But I will say that at the end of the call, our resource specialist will give you
the option as the caller to say, would you like me to call you back and, you know,
a day or two to see if this worked out? So we kind of, you know, it's at the caller's
choice, but but there is an option to kind of enter into this, you know,
this warm line kind of kind of route where, you know, we'll, we'll check back up with you
and just see, hey, how's it going? Did it work? Didn't it work? Sometimes we know this, right?
Even the most motivated people sometimes need a little push, need a little check in from someone.
And so that's, so that's an option. But the way that 211 is offered in the program is through
United Way funding. So again, I jump right back to this is campaign time for us. This is an
opportunity for you to get involved. I will say that 70% of the donations to our United Way come
from individuals and those donations go from anywhere from $5 literally $5 up to thousands of
dollars. There is no right size gift. The idea is jumping in where you can so that we can,
you know, let's raise the tide for everyone. When it comes to any of these things that you guys
are doing over there, we encourage certainly people, our audience out there to volunteer to be
a part of this stuff. And one thing I would like to just take a note on when it comes to volunteering.
You hear this phrase and we hear people talk about this a lot, experience. You know, it's what so
many people, especially young people, what they're looking for nowadays, they want to experience.
If they're going of occasion, if they're going out of town for the weekend or something like that,
and they certainly want it when it comes to their day-to-day lives and what they're doing with
their personal time, their downtime. And if you want an experience and you want something that you
can't buy with money, volunteering, like, and you don't, it's one of those things that you really
got to do to really know what we're talking about here. I can almost vividly remember every
volunteer opportunity I've done and I've done a lot of them in my life. And I can remember so
many of them going back to being a little kid in the soup kitchen and handing out soup to people.
It's something that stays with you in a very, very strong positive way. And I think that in the day
and age where we could always use up moments and good memories, volunteering is one of those
things that you can tap into in your brain and still go to. It is something that you can certainly
put on a college resume or on a job application. I know that's something we've talked about before
Terry that there are businesses out there that offer volunteer hours and things, something that I
encourage all businesses to do. You talk about good PR. You talk about helping your advertising
and everything. There's one way to do that. But whatever it is reaching people on the volunteering
level, now more than ever, it is vital in our communities. And it's not just our area, but all
rural areas need to be thinking about this and addressing this and spreading this to young and old.
There is no age limit on volunteering. Everybody is welcome. And again, you're looking for experiences,
you're looking for something the money can buy, you're looking for something a memory,
you want to make memories, being a part of day of caring, being a part, a reading mentor.
This is those memories. This creates that and all of that. And you're putting a lot of good
into the community. You're adding back to your community that has given you so much.
I encourage you to do that, everybody. If you're looking for volunteer opportunities or you have
some specific area of interest, you can also always give us a call. I'm talking to Jess in our
office at 715-421-0390. She coordinates a group that meets quarterly and it's actually
volunteer coordinators from nonprofits in the community. And I will tell you that none of them
are saying, oh, I have too many volunteers. And sometimes we just try it. You reference
volunteering at a soup kitchen. Well, maybe you try the community meal site and you're like,
ah, this isn't a good fit. Don't give up. Maybe you get connected with career closets and you help
with organizing clothing. So there's a number of volunteer opportunities. So if you're if you've
been thinking about it, but just haven't pulled the trigger, you know, certainly connect with Jess
because she can give you ideas of what's what's out there and available. And one other little side
note of this and to those of those out there that you like to binge shows or things like that,
enjoy those things. They'll be there. They're not going nowhere. Well, we talk about you can
volunteer and then that those shows will still be there for you later. And then when you're watching
them, I guarantee you and you can go ahead and throw this in my face if I'm wrong. They're going to
be more enjoyable. We're going to enjoy a more if you get out there and work a little bit. We talk
about limiting screen time on kids, you know, yes, or or use your maybe use your binging as a reward.
Uh-huh. Exactly. Volunteer now or this week and then you can watch a whole season. I don't know.
I know this because I do it. I do this to myself almost on a week and certainly on a weekly basis.
I do this. Uh, it's one of the things that I noticed that right away, I enjoy my shows more.
The Simpsons is even more enjoyable when I have volunteered or I have done something good with my
time, my downtime. And then you enjoy these things that much more. Find out more at uwac.org. Be
sure to follow them on social media as well and share their posts on your page. You just never
know who might see them otherwise. Encourage you to do that, everybody. And certainly spread the word
about these volunteering opportunities. Encourage those in our community to be a part of things with
all of our non-profits and specifically right now or United Way of South Winningham's Counties
right now. It's go seasons, campaigns, season, everybody. UWSWAC.org. And again, that keyword
detects us through the civic media to get in on the final day of the go for the green or gold text
to win multi-state contest. Shout out to Rapids Transmission. Luck. Luck. Everybody. Text that keyword
to us. LUCK. Get it to us. I am not going to spell it anymore today. LUCK. You go right ahead.
I'm not doing that. I got close enough a couple of times there. Look. Text that to us, everybody.
And we encourage you to do so. We will block. We'll have some more fun with the LKFA
birthday anniversary club coming up on the morning show at WFHR.
It's time to do some celebrating with our great friends over at LKFA and the Birthday and
Anniversary Club. One of our favorite parts of the day we get to celebrate you and our great
friends over at LKFA. We encourage you to treat yourself. Get on over there today, everybody.
Wish them a good one from all of us here at WFHR and WRI. We appreciate our great friends over at
LKFA. Buy local support local. Head on over there. Check out some of those. They have a great

oh, homemade chili is available as well. Serve by the cup or bowl. Check that out. That's a homemade
chili. That's good stuff. This time of year, especially. Well, yeah, if we could get the temperature
down. Yeah, it's a good point. It's a good point. Not of the chili, either. No, no, right.
Another source point by you. But it is also a great day for a fish fry, of course. That's what we

right out the gate. You got that. And then boom, boom. We got our qualifier there. And on Sunday.
All right. So we're good. Nicely done. You can take the rest of the hour off. You can take me.
Please don't do that. Please don't do that. What is it like five to the top of the hour?
It's pretty much pretty much. We take a look at our local birthdays. And we want to go ahead and

Happy birthday, Jordan. Enjoy your day. Hope it's a good one for you, Jordan. And we wish a very

good kid. Why do we have so many rules? Why can't he qualify? Yeah, it's good. Your godson? Yeah,
he's not technically related to me. It's a bit of a stretch. I think he could qualify. I
should have thrown him in there. But Nicholas is a great kid. Enjoy your day, Nicholas.

Sarah Najam is celebrating a birthday. Happy birthday. Sarah. Happy birthday. And, uh, we wish a
very happy birthday to Pam's good friend, Ken Ashenbrenner. Happy birthday, Ken. Ken's great.
Wishing a good birthday. Can enjoy your day, man. Hope it's a good one for you. And thanks so much
for getting us these birthdays and anniversaries and letting us share in your special day, everybody.
We appreciate you. Who, what celebrities are you sharing your birthdays with? Ashley Simpson is 41
today. Happy birthday to her. Happy 42nd to Tessa Thompson. Uh, she is in the MCU universe.
She was in the Creed movies, Westworld. Uh, she was in the new, the kind of reimagining of the
men and black movies. Uh, she's good. She's really good. Very, very talented. Sean Williams,
Scott is 49. Stiffler in the American pie movies is probably his most famous character. But
he seems to have a couple of roles here and there. He's done pretty good. Those are funny movies.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Nev Campbell is 52, Sydney in the screen movies. Uh, she was Julia in
party of five and, uh, in the hearts of house of cards. I think she is, um, she's been directing
or producing a little bit more now. But she had a nice career there in the 90s, uh, an early 90s
as well. Speaking of having a nice career in the 90s, Gwen Stefani is 56 today. Um, boy, 56,
that, that sneaky old to me for her. I wouldn't have expected that. Um, and that old, old or anything
like that and looks and sounds great. I mean, you know, I would never guessed it. That's part of
the reason why she's great. Uh, Clive Owen is 61. Fantastic actor. Sin City Closer,
shoot him up, uh, duplicity. He was in. He's been in a handful of things.
Tommy Lee from Miley Crew is 63, one of the wildest drummers you're ever going to see. But I think
the one of the things that has gotten lost in the shuffle with Tommy Lee, um, with all the other
outside of the outside of the drum kit, uh, stuff and everything with him. Great drummer.
Really good drummer, uh, and, and has done some wild things on that drum kit too over the years.
Oh, one of my favorite, uh, this is, um, Seth's ears are going to start burning the second I say
this name. Dave Winfield is 74 today. Uh, Major League Hall of Famer. Dave Winfield is one of our
favorite guys like for 90s kids to bring up as far as old baseball players. Because it's
mean easily as soon as you bring up Dave Winfield, you got to bring up that smile. Great smile
on the man. But also one of those athletes that could literally have been, uh, Hall of Famer and
just about every sport. Dave Winfield was just, uh, excelled at everything he played and was
this incredible and just happened to choose baseball. Uh, really amazing athlete. Lindsey Buckingham
is 76 formerly a Fleetwood Mac. Of course, lead saying, oh, what lead guitar player for Fleetwood
Mac and one of the songwriters, uh, vocalist for Fleetwood Mac. I think Lindsey Buckingham
is one of the most underrated guitar players of all time. Just, uh, Fleetwood Mac is actually,
I think one of the most underrated bands when you think about it. I know how popular they are,
but I don't hear a lot of people bring them up with greatest bands. Like when they're thinking,
yeah, yeah. And I think Fleetwood Mac deserves to be in that discussion, not saying that they are,
but you look at the decades of relevance, the amount of hits, and more than anything,
the talent in that band, um, Lindsey Buckingham was a backup singer in that band. It could,
and it had plenty of solo hits on his own. Christie McVee could have done a her own solo career
and been just as popular as everything she did with Fleetwood Mac. And then oh, yeah,
Stevie Nicks is just right there for you. You know, maybe they just stayed like in the music,
like they didn't strip any kind of drama for themselves. You know what I'm saying? How sometimes
it's like you get really great musicians, but something happened and that's what is the memorable
part. And I think so, you know, it's good on them with that. Yeah. Uh,
Chubby Checker is 84 today. Uh, the twist and so many. What Chubby Checker did back in the day,
cannot be noted enough, a game changer, uh, and really got pop music to all the sudden start.
Oh, you dance involved with a popular song. Wow, a win-win right there. And of course, you saw
a run of that throughout the 50s and everything. And just a Hall of Famer, Hall of Famer, Chubby Checker.
And Stevie Ray Vaughn would have been celebrating a birthday on this day in 1954,
passed away way too dang young in 1990. Guitar genius. I remember when he passed away, like it was
Kirk Cobain or so many others. I in my house, the Vaughn's, Jimmy and his brother Stevie were
just legends. Also, as great as it is, listen to Little Wing by Stevie Ray Vaughn. If you're going
to listen to anyone's song, listen to Little Wing by Stevie Ray Vaughn. It's the greatest version
of that song you'll ever hear, including Hendrix's version, which I love. But if you get a chance,
listen to Stevie Ray Vaughn's interviews. Man, is he just a wonderful voice and talker,
and the way he talks about guitar, I've never heard anybody talk about it. So look, not flippantly,
just casually. Just, you know, so many people take themselves so seriously, including myself,
obviously, right here. Stevie Ray Vaughn, very just loved life, man. Just really, really,
great as he was as a guitar player, just as amazing as a person. Saturday, birthdays, Dakota Johnson
is 36. Anastasia and those 50 shades, movies that I've never seen or anything, but she's, I have
seen her and other stuff. She's good actress. Don Johnson and, oh, Meg Melanie Griffithsway,
daughter. The daughter of Melody Griffith and Don Johnson, yeah. Let's see here. And Rachel
Lee Cook is 46. She's all that, a couple of other ones that she's been in. Alicia Silverstone
is 49 on Saturday, Clueless and the Batman movies and stuff. She had a nice career.
That's had a nice career. Leaves Shriver is 58. Wonderful voice. You're here narrating a lot of
things and Ray Donovan, number of different roles that he has had over the years. Oh, all of us 90s
kids. Terry John Sakata is 64. It's a Saturday, just another day that, man, you had to hear that
song when you were growing up back then and in the 90s. And Susan Sarandon is 79 on Saturday, Janet
and the Rocky Horror Picture Show, Thelman Louise, Bull Durham, The Witches of Eastwick.
I've always liked her. I love Susan Sarandon. Great actress, great actress, great hair too, great,
just all around great. And Rice would have been celebrating a birthday tomorrow and Jackie
Collins would have been two legendary authors. And Charlton Heston would have been
celebrating a birthday and born in 1923, Saturday, one of the early icons in acting Charlton Heston.
Not only on the screen, but off screen fighting for actors in the rights of Northwestern Zone,
Midwest Guy. There's a lot you could say about Charlton Heston. And then Sunday birthdays,
wrapping things up here. Travis Kelsey is 36 on Sunday. They're kind of fitting him and having
a birthday on Sunday. He'll be playing on Monday. Chiefs play on Monday. There you go. There you go.
Probably not. Guy Pierce is 58, wonderful actor, mayor of Easttown,
Memento, Iron Man 3, Contamante Cristo, Mario Super Mario. Mario Lemieux is 60 on Sunday.
Wayne Gretzky, everybody loved Wayne Gretzky and you should. Wayne Gretzky was awesome on and off
the ice. That hockey stick right over there says, Mario Lemieux on it. Because that was my first
hockey stick and that was my first favorite. Well, Chris Chelios, but my first guy of mine,
I love Super Mario. Oh, he's so much fun. Also did everything he did late in his career while
battling cancer, like in playing hockey and it, like not just at a level like where he was just
out there doing a shift. Mario late in his 30s was still like just running game on people in
everything. Incredible athlete. And let's see here. Steve Miller 82 on Sunday, fly like an eagle,
the Joker, Abercadabra, a lot of hits for him. Brian Johnson is 79, lead singer for AC DC.
Got a lot of good ones on Sunday. And Bernie Mac would have been celebrating a birthday in
19, born in 1957. One of my all-time favorites, great actor, comedian, all that. We help you are
all as going to enjoy your birthdays and anniversaries today and throughout the weekend and joy,
have a great one, everybody. Get on over to LKFA and celebrate with them and stick around.
After our news, sports, entertainment, and partner break, Terry and I are going to make you a star
of the day with our friends from Calvars coming up. Lights, camera, action. It is time to make
somebody a star of the day with our friends from the Wisconsin Rapids Calvars. What Terry and I
are about to do is play a famous TV theme song. If you know it and you have won anything in 30 days,
call up 715-424-2600. You can also call up using the Civic Media app, of course. Keep that app
handy and text a word luck to us to get in on our, go for the greener gold text win multi-state contest
we got going on. So you already got the app handy. So now you can go ahead and call us and win
some free callvers. Brian, you're luck at getting some callvers. Yes, yes, be listening for this
TV theme song. And if you know it, call up and let us know. We send a gigantic shout out to our
Wisconsin Rapids callvers. If you get a callvers in your community, you got one put in back into the

Let's see if we got ourselves a winner. Good morning. What's your answer?
Yeah, well, yeah, well done, sir. Well done. Let me make this up. Yeah, make this. Oh, no,
I don't know my winning belt. There we go. When you go back, I, who do we have on the phone with
this? Can I get your first name, sir? Dave. Hey, Dave, how are you?
Nice. Pretty good. Yeah. Good. Good. We appreciate your listening and playing along. Were you a fan
of the show? Yes, I watched it quite a bit. Yeah. It's a fun show. It was a really, really fun show
with some great characters and great acting on it. So good one. I remember that one growing up
even. And it's honestly the theme songs great. I love the, just the image of them driving into
the Beverly Hills with grandma in the rocking chair on top. It's iconic in my head. It'll never
go away. It's a great, great team show. Dave, you know where we're at. We know you, bud. Why don't
you come on by and pick this up from Pam sometime this week? Okay. Oh, thank you. Thank you, Dave.
We appreciate you. Have a great weekend, sir. Appreciate you. Good guy. Good guy. I was getting a
little worried. I was too. I was like, everyone's self rotary phone. It was taking a while to die.
I was a little worried. Yeah. I was a little worried myself. What I think happened there. And I've
noticed this with when we play TV theme songs that have words in them. I think people are singing
along. I think that it's a little bit of that. I was going to say, even I knew that one like right
away, which is odd. And this is, so I'm going to do one a little bit of catch up here, everybody,
because I wanted to do this one last month. We didn't have a chance. The Beverly Hills
Billy's premiered on CBS on September 26th of 1962 with the first episode titled The Clampits
Strike Off. Strike Oil. Strike Oil. It's Clampits Strike Oil. Classic show.
To me that this one has not been tried to be, you know, redone or anything. The fish out of
water thing is a go-to in TV, you know, history. I'm a little surprised by that. You know, I'm kind
of glad, though, because it would ruin it. It would be like redoing, you know, like I love Lucy.
You can't. Some things you just can't touch. There's certain things that are just a little on.
Yeah, whether it's time sensitive or whatever it is, I think that, you know, you just leave
them where they are. They're good. Yeah. The show was great on its own, so leave it where it was.
Dave, thank you so much. Be like Dave, everybody. Be listening every Friday for your opportunity
to win some free callvers from our friends at the Wisconsin Rabbits callvers. Big shout out to them.

until then go time. We are just a lot going on and this is all a positive. It's a good thing. But
we've got a holiday marathon coming up here really beginning with for us for my family and
stuff. Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashan and that Rosh Hashan and Yom Kippur. But Halloween's right around
the corner got that Thanksgiving of course and the big month of December with the holidays going
on and those busy time of year and a lot of people are going to be traveling. And when you travel
there are important things to keep in mind when you share this plane, this train, wherever you're
traveling in with others. And I'm talking about that stinky tuna fish sandwich that you just had
to have on the airplane. Keeping these things in mind food is an important one on the airplane.
The four commandments of eating on an airplane. We have that for everybody right now. The four
commandments of eating on an airplane. Considering you're in a no so here's what an etiquette expert
had to say quote the most important etiquette rule on an airplane is that you've got to stay
within your bubble. Physically stay within your bubble. Sounds need to stay within your bubble.
And of course smells need to stay within that little bubble of you sitting in that middle seat
between two people that you've never known and didn't want to know. According to the expert,
here are the four commandments of eating on a plane. That shall not eat smelly foods. Amen.
No tuna, no garlic or onion, no hard boiled eggs, no strong cheeses. For the love of all that
is no fish or seafood. Eat it on land. Eat it on land. I almost wish there was there was
like a literal physical rule that you know fish don't go in the sky so you can't eat fish in the
plane. It's just the thing. You can't do it. Like I know that doesn't make any logical sense but
I kind of wish just for the smell sake of it. Where are you getting it from? And you know like
yeah why aren't you eating it between planes? But like where are you getting that from in the airport?
Yeah I'm not sure what that. I don't get that one at all. They'll shall not eat messy foods.
Yeah. Then it includes ribs, powdered doughnuts, spaghetti, chili dogs, nachos, and sloppy
jokes. Okay. How do you get ribs on a plane? I have flown a lot in my life and I've never seen
any one of those being eaten on a plane. Not one of them. Oh I've seen like the doughnut thing.
Okay. You know because I think it was just like you know they made this stop in the airport.
My bigger thing and this might even be coming but as it pertains to the powdered sugar doughnut
the last flight I was on and it was morning and somebody comes with like you know probably like
the biggest size cup of coffee right and they had a cover on it but like it's full full and so now
they have their carry on they have this. Well where do you set that cup of coffee while you're
putting your you know while you are doesn't matter who you are you still have to get situated right
and so when then where do you set it and then where is it like like you better drink half of that
quick? Who's getting on the plane and and pulling out their carry on bag and I got my sloppy
Joe's right here. What's going on? I don't like there's certain things we don't need rules for
because nobody's doing it like I would think that nobody's doing that. Who's doing that? I
please. Yeah. Yeah. If you're one of these people if you've ever done this we're not going to judge
you. I just want to know for a fact that it's actually some of those restaurants you know sometimes
there's like a whatever like a TGI Fridays or something. I mean I spoke in a restaurant or in
an airport. So you know maybe they're having to because of time. It's got to get it to go but
that's just weird. Yeah. Yeah. And keep it in the package till you are situated. Yeah just no
because no I don't want to hold your coffee. No. No. I mean I will because I don't want to wear it
but I don't want. They'll shove not eat foods with allergens, bag of peanuts or a pack of
peanut butter would be safer for everyone if you did it was consumed in an area without open air.
Being again if you don't like this you don't have to fly. There are other ways to get around
but keeping in mind that when you fly just like getting on a bus or a train or anything else
you're sharing this space with others and ain't just about you. I think one of the biggest
problems with flying is just that right there. That simple you know registering in your brain
that you're not alone on this flight. If you want to do that become a millionaire. Like go ahead
and you know get some money because that's pretty much the only way that's happening. For
next year $39 upgrade your seat to the middle section. Yeah. If you don't like it that much do that
otherwise I mean guy you know you got to it's odd because you don't see this in public transportation
that often but with planes there becomes almost an entitlement that happens when you hit a certain
altitude or something. I don't know. I don't know where you think you can eat ribs. I guess I don't
think who is eating ribs. Did they pack them in their purse? We got questions. How do they get
through? I love the I guess just opened up this person. It's just a rack of ribs right there.
Like they like it's something like the the flinstones or something. You have to follow like the
own rules for that. Oh no it's not like that. Oh I wonder yeah. No it's not liquid. And finally
they'll shout not over indulge. Here's what the expert said quote over indulging in alcohol can
be a nuisance to in itself. Plus alcohol can dehydrate you and amplify the effects of the
altitude. Staying hydrated will make you your flight much more enjoyable. Fair. Yeah yeah and
again this isn't just about you. You're not a frat. You're not this isn't a Saturday night where
you're you know. I like keep your noises in your own bubble. How do you keep them in a bubble?
Well definitely you know the headphone thing if you're listening. Yeah no I'm I'm
meant bodily noises or like you eating chewing farting whatever you're doing. Yeah good luck with
any of those everybody as far as keeping that in your bubble. Okay but if you were trapped in the
you know if somebody's next to you in the middle let's say you have an end and end or a window.
But like the middle person would you rather have somebody who like wants to talk talk talk talk talk
or somebody who's like falling asleep and kind of starting to invade your space. I've had both
and I think I'd rather have the talker. It's you enough. I the person who is right next to you
and invading your space is no getting away from it. The talker even they kind of die down after
a little while. You know and it never fails and and it's proud like if if my husband and I are
traveling and we happen to be just the two of us in a three I will always take the middle. I love
the window seat. I'm that person that likes to see. I know I'm not I'm not concerned about having
the aisle for safety because let's be real either we're all getting out or we're not. No one's getting
out. But like so I'll always take the middle just because of my stature right. But I always there's
always that guy who then just assumes that that armrest is just is hit. You know what I mean?
Yes he plops down he takes both armrests sometimes and I of course don't I just sit with my elbows
tucked in. Sometimes you just want to like elbow woman be like dude yeah. I've been on planes
before it had had no problem using my my strong pointy elbows but then I also maybe don't
want to share it like I don't want both of our arms on there you know like I don't know and I'm
not like a germ fall but sometimes I'm just like you're so rude. Everybody gets an armrest it's
your right arm. The right armrest is usually your armrest now if you are on the end of the aisle
in the aisle seat then it's usually your left but otherwise it's the right arm usually that you get
because that way everybody gets at least one armrest. Yeah well it depends on side you're sitting
on I guess but but yes but I just hmm here are some of the best foods you can eat on a plane a
dried or fresh fruit crackers chips pretzels a meat and cheese snack pack hummus and vegetables a
muffin chocolate and granola protein bars some of those things. You talk about the fresh fruit
thing though literally I was sitting next to someone once and they had a peach okay they have no
napkin to be seen they have no right so so first of all those are juicy yeah so there's all of
that but then also then she just sat there holding the pit like that you know like in the palm
of her hand until and I'm just like okay that's kind of gross like I could yes to it out but there
was I just you know sometimes you just can't unsee things and then you just keep looking you know
I'm like what are you doing with that thing. My dad used to actually found this to be more the case
with flying but my dad used to tell me when I first started taking the L by myself and everything
like Jimmy there's always one weirdo on the L one and if you can't find him it's probably you
it's probably you on the plane definitely definitely yeah definitely there's you're all gonna

app I would say this this none has is lucky and been celebrating a very fortunate lucky life
a Catholic nun in Ohio is celebrating her 105th birthday and she's doing it by hitting the links
for a round of golf with her sisters from the Covent is a fact cool yeah sister Renee parmin
and her cohorts from the humanity of the humility of Mary visiting the null run of
visited the null run golf course in Lowersville on Friday two days before her 105th birthday to engage
in one of her favorite activities golf wow that's impressive quote I think it helps you know
you to know yourself I do really anyway and competing with yourself mostly I think it that's a
fact they're very helpful it's a wonderful place to be very meditative it's a beautiful place
grass flowers and it's quiet some they had to get their tea time and the tea time behind them
because of oh yeah I wonder yeah I would do that that's what I would do she began working to
become a nun at the age of 18 but it wasn't until her forties that some of her fellow sisters
introduced her to golf they said hit the ball that's that was my only instruction that I'd ever
received cute I love it the nun now plays golf every week and has been instructor for younger
golfers as well at the colleges nearby very cool quote when we rode together she was educating me
on what I should be doing and let me know how to hit the ball sister Barbara Noble said
it was a pretty special big special because she had the experience I never thought about golf
this way like as therapeutic certainly to a degree but the I all these things that she just
mentioned like oh yeah that is a great like it's a great like time to be out and about yeah and
getting outdoors you're also you know usually in a beautiful place because golf courses are so
well taken care of in everything it's including our local ones around here that my brother comes
two hours away every all every chance it gets to come play golf in this area now to her benefit
right she's been golfing for 65 years so she's clearly mastered the don't overthink your shot don't
get mad frustrated angry also you know there there are young like tiger woods right now his biggest
problem with competing in golf and and better more golf experts can tell you better about this
than I can but from what I've read and from what I've heard from people who know golf like my brother
and stuff tiger woods biggest problem right now is that his body can't hold up walking the course
he can shoot just fine he can still hit the ball just fine he can't walk the course like he used to
this lady's walking the course like it's at 105 she's doing this like that's impressive I think
that's not worthy in itself I again don't know a ton about golf but I know it ain't easy you got pro
golfers it complain and can't necessarily carry in their own bags yeah yeah like a more power
tour that is impressive impressive story right there that is pretty cool and I did want to touch
on this one really quick a a three-foot tall miniature Scottish Highland bull escaped from a
Connecticut farm and has been repeatedly spotted several miles from the home and there are people
that are just kind of going to social media and like I've been noting the remains society near
there and stuff they just saw a bowl this this miniature but not just a bowl a miniature bowl
just walking around their neighborhood and everything those highland cows are so cute they really
really are beautiful and this one in particular is a good one they all take great pictures they do
they really do they always do my youngest is he is celebrating or having a wedding this weekend at
a reserve too it's gonna be a really beautiful place and her favorite animal in the world by far
away are cows so for many many years I will just randomly texture a story about cows or a image
of one or something like that and everyone I find they just they they're good they're very
photogenic they're very good at this the highland cows a thing cows are better at taking pictures than
I am the way better way way better at it than I am huh I need I need to talk to a cow about this
or a bowl or something I don't know I mean I'd probably talk to a cow I would I really talk to
notable it seems like a good call I mean you could try one of those things as I was saying and
I'm like kind of like okay we'll see you when we see you maybe be a better idea at my part if I
would like to be here Monday that would probably a good idea and we'll save that but did also
