Happy Birthday Laura (Hour 1)

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

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

My own beliefs are in my song.

The future, the figure, the drama, and then

Makes no difference what you brought in.

Let's get it going Friday edition of The Morning Show.

Got your host James here, joined by one of our great sales and marketing people.

Are we ever Leo with us?

Oh, I've got the wrong one, dang it.

I'm used to somebody over there, sorry, Leo.

Good to have you with us, Leo.

Hello!

We hope you're all having a great one out there.

We get the best listeners' radio with us.

That's a Friday show if I have heard of one.

Great things going on today.

You got the LKFA birthday anniversary club right around the corner for you.

Gonna be celebrating Friday, Saturday, Sunday, birthdays.

After our news, entertainment, and sports break,

We're gonna make you a star of the day with our friends from callvers.

Lee and I have a famous TV theme song for you.

You call up, you get a right to win some free callvers.

Boom, boom, boom, just like that.

All those things lined up for you.

Kick off the 10 o'clock hour with some entertainment news.

I think one of the funnier entertainment stories I've heard in a while.

We've got that one coming up as far as a alternate half-time show

that is being in the works, apparently.

That is going on.

We'll get into that.

We've got Disney and a new live action movie,

or live action movie they're doing off of one of their animated movies.

Okay.

That is coming up.

What's new on your small screen, your big screen,

and your local theater stage.

All that coming up for you.

You'll get into a couple of fun topics while we're at it.

I want to get into a definitive ranking of the best and worst Halloween candies.

Okay.

And this is a definitive, you say.

Yeah.

We cannot stray from this list.

We're going to stray from it.

We're going to stray from it.

We're definitely going to stray from it.

We're going to stray from it.

We're going all over the place with it.

We might do that with this opening topic for us.

It is World Egg Day today.

Okay.

So happy World Egg Day.

Everybody's celebrating the most scramble of all the foods.

The International Egg Commission started it back in 1996.

So this is the 30th year.

It's being celebrated.

Okay.

84% of Americans like or love eggs according to a recent poll.

And just 3% of us fully hate them.

Will not be around them.

The arch enemy is eggs.

That's apparently.

But even a lot of egg lovers are split on the next question.

Are you a ketchup on eggs person?

A new poll out this week asked about different food debates.

And that one made almost the top of the list.

Okay.

We got a few more here.

But before we go, we'll go through these and you can go ahead and give your take on them.

And of course, we always encourage audience participation.

You all have the morning show play at home version.

That is a civic media app.

Feel free to call our Texas with your takes and your feelings on these.

So first one out the gate.

Catch up on eggs.

A full third of us now on board with it.

32% of Americans say that they like or love ketchup on eggs.

I saw my mother doing this from a very young age.

And even though I had never seen, I had not a lot of experience with people, anything like that.

I'm a little kid.

Some about it didn't seem right.

Right.

It's not my thing.

Is this something you do?

Goodness no.

Hot sauce maybe?

Okay.

I like to take, if I'm doing scrambled eggs, I like to put them on a tortilla, throw some sauce and some sour cream.

Maybe some fresh avocado.

I can make myself a little impromptu breakfast burrito, but catch up on eggs.

I can't.

I can't do it.

But that sounds pretty good.

I know.

That sounds pretty good.

Is chili a soup, a stew or neither?

Stew wins with 60% of the vote.

23% said neither.

And 18% think chili is a soup.

It's its own thing.

I mean, yeah.

It's its own category.

We do this and I will admit.

Some of this is just great morning show content.

It's so controversial to me right now, but it's Chili's its own thing.

But I don't know why we can't do that more often with things.

It doesn't fit into category.

There's quite a few things in life.

I don't fit in any real categories.

I can relate to this.

I think that's a good way to put it.

Yeah.

Is a hot dog a sandwich?

40% say yes, 53% say no.

Another 7% have not been able to make up their mind.

This is too complicated for them.

My brain has now turned into scrambled eggs.

I cannot quantify that one.

I don't care.

I really don't.

There's so many things in life that I have a passion for.

You wouldn't even imagine like, wow, he would die on that hill.

Just useless and not even important things that I would get bent out of shade about.

Every once in a while, there's something like, I got no time for this.

I really could care less.

If somebody wants to, you know, just die on the hill of hot dog being a sandwich

or not being a sandwich, more power to you, I'm good either way.

I mean, I could dissect it, you know, but no, again, it's just its own thing.

You know, and next up at the same thing with the hamburger.

Is a hamburger a sandwich? 73% think it is.

I'll go, I'll go team sandwich on a hamburger.

Sure, sure.

To me, it's, it's, I'm more worried about the, like with the hot dog, is it beef?

Because I don't really like pork hot dogs.

Yeah, I like beef hot dogs.

So we've got other reasons for the truth of the tools.

But yeah, that one, so to me, I'm more worried about that than I is if it's a sandwich or not.

I don't know.

It just seems like one of the last things that I'm really worried about.

Is it delicious and is it going to end up in my belly?

Yes.

These are my main concerns.

Now, now might get a little more interesting.

How should a sandwich be cut in half?

Oh.

29% said vertically.

49% said diagonally.

And 22% said neither.

I am with the 22%.

I like, I don't like my sandwich cut.

I just like it the way it is.

A whole sandwich.

Yeah, yeah.

So this depends on the situation.

If I'm making the sandwich for myself, I will not cut it.

I will just eat it whole.

But if my mom makes my sandwich, I like her to cut it.

She usually does her as a diagonal.

And, and it is scientifically proven that if someone else makes you a sandwich, it does taste better.

And like my mom, she can make me a peanut butter and jelly the same way I would make a peanut butter and jelly.

My mom's peanut butter and jelly is going to taste 9000 times better.

100%.

Yeah.

100%.

Also with you, I didn't think about this.

It's been a while.

But if my mom always just, she cuts them and she cuts the sandwiches.

That's just what she does.

I don't mind what she does.

Right.

If I'm making it for myself, I would never do that.

No.

It's so weird.

There's just no, I've watched her make things and I've tried to make them exactly the same.

It's just not the same.

Yeah.

Is Coleslaw a salad?

67% people think that it is.

Hmm.

Hmm.

I, this is way out of my, my wheelhouse.

These are, again, you're naming all things that I just are like, they're, they're, their own things.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think that's what we're coming to.

I think that's what the theme of this is.

And I don't think that's such a bad thing to think about with other things in life.

Yeah.

Sometimes some things are unique.

Yeah.

I'm unique.

Absolutely.

There's a lot of things and a lot of us out there.

I think that don't fit any real category.

Right.

So I think that's something to keep in mind.

Give each other some grace on that one.

Right.

And I don't, I don't know.

I know that I've had Coleslaw before.

But I'm, I'm almost positive.

I have not had Coleslaw since I turned double digits.

Like, I don't think I've had it since I was like 10 maybe.

I was very surprised to learn that my youngest daughter really loves Coleslaw.

Hmm.

And so now I know who to pass my Coleslaw off to if I'm ever in a Coleslaw receiving situation.

She'll just kind of look at me like going to give me that Coleslaw mom.

And I'm like, it's all yours, kid.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't get it.

I don't know.

I teach their own and more for everybody else that way.

Pineapple on pizza.

Oh, yes.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, you dig on this one.

Yes.

48% of us like or love it.

So it's, it's gone quite mainstream.

It's almost half of people like it now and everything.

I always figured there'd be a pushback on that one.

I do, I do live in a house divided though.

There are people in my house that are pro pineapple on pizza.

And then we've got some very strong anti pineapple on pizza people.

I don't know.

I haven't had it a lot.

But to me, when this is one of the few items on a pizza or not few,

but one of the things on a pizza that you can't, it's hard to take off.

Like you could take it off, but the pineapple juice still hits the pizza.

It's still going to be there.

Yes.

I don't know that you could really remove that one.

Now I'm getting hungry.

It's also that you can kind of get away with that a little bit.

Some you can get away with.

Meat, things like that.

Yeah.

You can pull off.

Onions, pie, you know, peppers, pineapples.

All the top things other than pineapple, basically.

That one then.

I'm not going to come up.

It leaves a mark.

Is leftover pizza better warm or cold?

28% preferred cold.

It's almost 30% of people prefer cold.

My husband absolutely hates when I eat cold pizza.

No.

And I make fun of him when he warms it up.

I'm like, you winp.

Just eat it cold like a man.

It depends.

If I am in a, if I am in a hurry, which I usually am.

And I usually forget to eat, which is when this comes up.

99% of the time for me.

I'm just eating it.

I'm just eating it.

But I will, I will heat it up, but I will not heat it up in the microwave.

I will take the time to put it in the oven.

Wow, you're fancy.

I just, it might take an extra couple minutes, but it's so worth it.

I've got time for that.

I don't like soggy food.

I really am not good at that.

And pizzas meant to have a little bit of a bite to it, a bit of a crunch to it.

I can't do it otherwise.

Sometimes I like it better cold though.

Yeah, but I also, I was also in college.

So I mean, I ate a cold lot of times and everything.

And left out all night when you were in college.

Yes, yes.

Like there's a certain, for a certain amount of your life,

you believe that a pizza box is, it can, it can keep a pizza fresh.

It is impervious to all germs.

Yes, yes.

The plague is not going to touch that pizza box.

Yeah, it's been out all weekend, but I'm sure it's fine.

It was in the pizza box.

It was in the pizza box.

It's fine.

This, this might gross people out, but once that cheese hits that kind of congealed.

Spot, it's okay.

It's impervious to anything.

It's pretty much, you know, what are the more safer things on the planet?

Really, I agree, I agree.

When pouring a bowl of cereal, do you pour the milk or cereal first?

Only 4% of us go milk first.

What insane world are you living in?

I know, right?

How does that work, even?

Like I'm not even, I'm sure it works, but I, I couldn't,

I don't think I could ever even do that as a joke.

I'm not sure that my body will allow me to do it.

I can't explain this with science, but when I pour a bowl of cereal,

I know that the bowl of cereal is complete when the cereal is floating at a specific level in the bowl.

Yeah.

And then I'm like, okay, that's the accurate amount of milk.

I can move on with my day and eat the cereal now.

There are certain truths in life that you can always count on.

And no matter whether you put the milk in first or last or whatever,

you will always have milk left over at the end of your cereal.

You could have a full bowl.

Yeah.

Or two, two little drops of milk in there,

and there will still be milk left at the end of that bowl.

It's always going to be that way.

I'm very cognizant of the fact that there are probably people listening to us,

severely psychoanalyzing how insane we are right now,

which I'm totally okay with.

This is, this is why we're heated.

This is why we're normal.

We would not be doing these jobs.

We would not be doing this.

If anybody out there pours the milk first,

and then the cereal on top.

We need to talk to you.

Yes, please call me.

It's 715-424-26.

I need to know what, how you started doing this,

why you're still doing it.

And we're going to psychoanalyze you.

Yes, yeah.

That's a safe place.

We ought to say place.

Nice place.

And finally, best brownie, edge pieces or middle pieces.

45% said the edge of the pan, 39% said the middle,

16% are just happy they're brownies.

I'm team edge, especially when it's got like a little bit of char,

and it's chewy.

Yes.

And it almost breaks your teeth when you're eating it.

100%.

Oh, good.

Yes, yes.

The edges are the best of almost everything,

whether we're talking bread, pizza, brownies.

It doesn't matter.

I'm a manage guy.

I like that.

When it comes to your way of liking this,

everybody let us know.

And also like to know what your favorite way of having eggs

is on this national egg day as we celebrate eggs.

Looking at a couple of surveys online,

and not really to, it's more of a just the search engine

telling us, but the top ways we like them are scrambled,

fried, over easy, over medium, over hard, and then boiled.

I'm going to reveal that it is always my partner's responsibility

to know how I like my eggs because I don't know the different,

other than scrambled.

I can tell you I want scrambled eggs, but to me I say scrambled.

So I want my scrambled eggs, but I like mine,

and I'll be in a restaurant and I'll say I need them dippy,

and then I'll look at my husband, and then he'll explain to like,

I think it's over easy.

I'm not sure.

I can never remember it.

So when we first got married, I'm like,

look, you will be my support system.

You'll be my cheerleader, you'll be the love of my life,

but you also need to tell the restaurant how I want my eggs

because I cannot do it.

It's got to be something, you know, I think that it should be

and put in more vows.

It really should.

It really should.

It's one of the same things.

And now we'll remember the wife's egg order until you die.

So see if it's right in.

Right.

If it's right in there.

If anybody has any, you know, there's,

oh, there's a bunch of different places we can put it in.

Oh, I like that.

Throw that in the mix.

Yeah.

We will look forward to hearing your answers.

Everybody feel free to call up and join the conversation.

And of course, get us those birthdays and anniversaries.

More on that in a moment.

And when we come back with the LKFA birthday and anniversary club,

I'm the morning show at WFHR.

We're about to let them good times roll.

Thank you, Jimmy.

One of 97-5 FM WFHR.

And your radio dial, the morning show,

Alia and James here with you.

Head on over there.

Check out some of those great specials they have.

And of course, they're ever more popular,

getting more and more popular by the Friday, Friday,

fish fries.

Yeah.

Good stuff over there.

I am staring at the pies.

I'm going to be honest with everybody.

It's a lot of great things on here.

A lot of healthy options, a lot of things that are good

for a normal human being and adult male.

A man should look at and want to devour,

but I'm just staring at the pies.

Any new pies from last time?

We were talking about the peanut butter or silk last time.

Yeah.

No, I'm not seeing a new one here,

but they're just all that.

Well, Carameled Apple Cheesecake.

That sounds pretty good.

That sounds all right.

I try that.

Sounds good.

Those are good ones.

Check out everything they got over at LKFA, everybody.

And of course, get us your birthdays and anniversaries.

We love celebrating with you.

Good morning to them.

Great people to work with.

And they did great work around here for a long time.

Also, I want to wish our qualifiers a happy 45th anniversary.

Janet and Tom Gaber.

That's awesome.

Five years.

That's impressive.

Yes.

That is impressive, you too.

Congratulations.

Happy 45th.

You're our qualifiers for Saturday.

Let me take a look at Sunday, where we got a couple of local birthdays.

We want to celebrate first off.

Pam's brother-in-law, Jim Hilke.

Happy birthday.

Jim is a great guy.

Wonderful guy.

I wish you a great day, sir.

Enjoy your day, Jim.

And our very own Laura Berg.

Woo-hoo, Laura.

Enjoy the day, Laura.

We hope it's a great one for you.

Laura is amazing.

We love you.

And it just creative people that you are going to miss.

Absolutely.

Intelligent all day.

And we are really fortunate to have her working around here and everything.

Laura is built for this industry.

Oh, yeah.

And she's a perfect fit around here and perfect fit for this community, too.

As her and Melissa and Herker, Laura's girls moved to this area here a while back and everything.

And they've been enjoying the area ever since.

Yeah.

Enjoy your day, Laura.

Hope it's a good one for you.

And we wish you a very happy birthday.

On Sunday to our qualifier, Jean-Jewisky.

Happy birthday.

Jean, enjoy your day.

Hope it's a good one for you.

Thank you to everybody that got us birthdays and anniversaries throughout the whole week.

We appreciate every single one of you.

Get us more of them so we can celebrate next week.

Mm-hmm.

Taking a look at who you share your birthdays with this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Maya is 46.

R&B singer.

She was on Dancing with the Stars.

Yeah.

She was a part of the Lady Marmalade star.

She was, yeah.

She was in Chicago.

She was in the movie musical.

That's right.

She was in it.

Yeah, that's right.

I kind of thought she would keep going.

I thought that she'd be pretty big for a long time.

But I haven't really heard from her.

Not a lot.

No.

Dale Earnhardt, Jr. is 51.

Wow.

Semi-retired NASCAR driver and announcer.

Yeah.

Mario Lopez is 52.

Wow.

Saved by the bell.

Basically does hosting things now.

Yeah.

He did the Miss America pageants and he's on the extra show or whatever.

Yeah.

One of the Mount Rushmore of Wisconsin sports.

I'm curious if this man would be on there or not.

Brett Farve is 56.

Wow.

There's a lot we can say about Brett Farve off the field.

But as far as on the field, there are a few athletes that I've watched that I've just,

like, must see TV.

Yeah.

Must see TV.

It didn't matter.

I didn't care what TV was playing for.

You know, my rival, whatever, it didn't matter.

That's one of the last real gunslingers we're going to see in football.

I'm going to say he's actually younger than I think I thought he was.

Right.

I'll admit I'm not a huge sports person, but I know who Brett Farve is obviously for some reason I thought he would be older.

And every time we've said his name, there are a number of kids and animals that have just, like, peaked up.

They think we're talking to them.

There's a lot of, I imagine that they're probably as far as being named after a celebrity or an athlete.

There is no name that's been, like, dogs or air people have been named more either Brett or Farve.

There's a lot of breaths running around this state.

There's a lot of them.

I'm sure there is.

Let's see here.

Wendy McClendon Kovie is 56.

The mom on the Goldbergs.

She was in Bridesmaid.

A lot of us got to know her from Reno, 911.

Oh, there he is.

She is one of the funnier women I've ever seen.

Oh, my goodness.

She's great.

In Bridesmaid, she's just epic.

And let's see here.

Tanya Tucker is 67.

Old school country singer and songwriter.

David Lee Roth is 71.

What?

That's insane.

That is totally insane.

David Lee Roth is 71.

That is insane to me.

I don't even know how to think about that.

I know.

What even to think about that?

Ben Varene is also so brilliant birthday today.

One of the greatest performers I've ever seen.

On stage, off-stream.

If you get a chance to see Ben Varene in Pippin, it's incredible.

It's maybe the greatest opening of a theater of a play I've ever seen.

I'm going to deep dive.

Did you ever watch Zubilee Zoo when you were a child?

Oh, no, I didn't.

I missed it.

I know what you're talking about though, my sister like that.

I did get to see Ben Varene a little bit on, I think, Webster.

I think he was on Webster for a little bit.

Oh, the Webster for a little bit.

I think it was Webster.

I think it was Webster.

Yeah.

Could be.

Taking a look at Saturday, birthdays and Sunday, birthdays real quick.

Cardi B is 33 tomorrow.

She's young.

Let's see here.

Another one.

Oh, Jane Krasinski is 57.

Oh, I love that.

Jacqueline on the Unbreakable Kidney Schmidt, Jenna on 30 Rock.

Yeah.

She was on Alan McBeele.

She's really good.

Yeah.

And she host named that tune right now.

Oh, that's right.

Yeah.

Joan Cusack is 63.

Wow.

Former SNL cast member.

She was on shameless.

She was in 16 candles, of course.

And she does the voice of Jesse in the Toy Story movies.

Although I will love her in Adam's family values.

She was really good at it.

Yeah.

Great, like a great role for her.

Yeah.

We don't get to see her in those kind of roles very often.

In school of rock.

I loved her in school of rock as well.

Did a great job in that.

She's a good principal.

Yeah.

She plays a great principal.

Yeah.

If you get the chance and you're looking for a sneaky, I think a sneaky good movie.

I'm a gigantic fan of her brother, John Cusack.

The Cusack family is about to grow up a block.

Literally a block away from where my family grew up.

Okay.

And on Taylor and Racine.

Yeah.

And there's actors I like and I admire.

There's actors I adore.

Then there's like the Cusack that are just at a different level.

Right.

There's a movie gross point blank.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, you know that one?

Oh, yeah.

I love that movie.

It's the only time they get to really work together.

Yeah.

And their chemistry is just, there's no words for their chemistry.

Right.

It's incredible.

And it makes sense in everything.

But it doesn't always work like that.

Relatives or partners and how they do on screen or on stage together.

Their chemistry is incredible.

And you get to see Dan Eckroid as a villain.

Yeah.

You never get to see that.

I love a sneaky good movie.

It's a really, really good one.

Steve Young is 64.

One of the greatest quarterbacks you'll ever see.

He was incredible.

Steve Young, MVP of Super Bowl 29.

And I would say that kind of a game changer.

Steve Young was a mobile quarterback, a running quarterback.

And one of the few of the time.

Now, you almost won't get drafted if you can't run.

He was way ahead of this game.

Him and Randall Cunningham, both of them.

Darryl Hall is 79, one half of Hall in notes.

Yes.

Let's see here.

And as far as people no longer with us,

Eleanor Roosevelt would have been celebrating a birthday on this day in 1884.

Social reformer, humanitarian, FDR's wife, of course.

He served four terms, which makes her the longest serving first lady.

Yeah.

And you talk about game changers.

The way that the first lady was seen before Eleanor Roosevelt was never the same after.

Yeah.

Now it's almost you, if you're a first lady, you have to have a cause.

You have to have something to do.

You have to have a platform, something that you're doing on the side.

Yeah.

She started all that.

Yeah.

I believe if I have this right too, she is a big reason for the celebration of Halloween in America

becoming much more popular.

Oh, I did not know that.

It really wasn't a very popular main.

It was a little bit like one of those off the cuff kind of holidays.

Yeah.

If I have it right, she started throwing Halloween parties.

Oh, thank you, Ellen.

It just kind of got the whole ball rolling and everything.

Yeah.

I love that.

Look a little more into that one, everybody.

Yeah, you know, don't take me for a complete verbatim on that.

I might be giving you a cliff notes version with my messed up brain, but it's worth looking

into because it's even if that's not to 100% truth, an incredible human being.

Yeah.

That was incredible.

And that is a very harmless conspiracy theory, definitely.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

A quick look at Sunday birthdays.

Hugh Jackman is 57, constant performer.

I've been in a room with him.

That's, yeah.

That is pretty cool.

That is pretty cool.

It was an auditorium, but, you know, not only the perfect Wolverine, eight counts, it counts.

You were breathing the same air.

I was breathing the same air as him.

But great singer, dancer, like a complete talent.

And one of the people that I know, not just me, but a lot of people in my, you know, space

look up to, God has break much later in life.

And just the, the attitude of always keep pushing, always keep going.

You never know when your break can happen.

You never know.

You might end up having to grow lamb chops and be Wolverine.

And he is set to come out in the movie in December.

Yeah.

With Kate Hudson, where they're playing a Neil Diamond and Patsy Klein impersonator.

I think so.

Yeah.

I know it's song, song, blue.

And it's based off of apparently a Wisconsin couple.

Yeah, based on a true story.

Yeah.

Which is part of why I watched the trailer.

I'll be a lead.

And it's kind of funny.

We were talking about this in our pregame a little bit.

I'm not a big musicals guy.

I'm not a huge Neil Diamond fan.

I watched that trailer.

I'm leaving.

It moved me.

That trailer moved me.

Doesn't it?

Like, I don't know what it was, but something about it just hit me.

That's going to be.

That's going to be such a good move.

I would be shocked if that movie isn't a gigantic.

I hope it is.

I would be shocked if it isn't.

It should be, do pretty good.

And yeah, you're so right about the local time and stuff too.

Yeah.

And some people no longer with us.

Like Sam Moore would have been 90 today.

Hall of Famer, R. B. Singer, with Sam and Dave.

Soulman, and so many other hits.

And the great, the legend Dick Gregory born in the state in 1932.

As somebody who grew up loving Richard Pryor.

Richard Pryor, George Carlin, two greatest stand of comics of all time.

To me, Eddie Murphy is on that list, Rob Williams.

But Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, Chris Rock.

Cedric, the entertainer, Kevin Hart, any of these guys that you love in a door.

None of them happen without Dick Gregory.

Greg Gregory literally started all of this for specifically for African American comedians.

But really comedians, Jackie Mason would tell you Dick Gregory was a big part of Jewish for Jewish comedians as well.

Just breaking down doors.

Incredible, funny man.

Nice.

Incredible, funny man.

That's going to do it for our birthdays and anniversaries.

But we encourage everybody out there to have a great one.

Enjoy your birthday or anniversary all weekend long.

We'll be back with the star of the day from our friends from callvers.

Lights, camera, action.

It is time to make somebody a star the day with our friends from the Wisconsin Rapids callvers.

I think I have stretched this out long enough.

Get ready to call up.

715-424-2600.

Let us know what TV theme song this is.

Alright, let us see if we have ourselves a winner here.

Good morning. What is your answer?

Is that NYPD blue?

No, no. It is so close though.

You are in the right genre.

You are in the right genre.

You want to take another shot?

Okay. Call up.

424-2600.

Everybody still got a chance to win this thing.

I am going to keep singing along to it if you guys don't call it.

Alright, here we go. Let us see. What is your answer?

One order?

Yes.

We got a winner.

Yes, congratulations nicely done.

Let us make this official.

Where is my winning bell?

I don't have my winning bell anymore.

Well, you are a winner.

Thank you.

Yes, thank you, William.

Who do we have on the phone with us?

Can I get your first name?

Apple.

I am sorry. What was that?

Apple.

Apple.

Apple.

Thank you so much for listening and playing along.

A little hard connection here, Ethel.

But we appreciate you being able to get in.

Are you a fan of law and order?

Yes.

Awesome. Very cool.

Awesome.

Well, Ethel, I appreciate you listening and playing along.

Thanks so much. You just won yourself some free callvers.

And my agent will be calling you because you are our newest star of the day.

Yay.

Thank you very much.

Hang on the line a little bit, Ethel.

We are going to get some information from you off-air.

Thank you so much for joining us.

That was awesome.

That was awesome.

That was great.

I was a little surprised how I didn't know how hard this one would be or anything.

But one of the more famous TV songs, the theme songs, I think.

And a dirty bass in there.

You don't get that very often.

I love that bass life.

It's one of the more famous theme songs.

And why do we do this one?

Well, last month, September 29th, Mike Post celebrated the birthday.

And I wanted to do this one.

But we kind of had to push it off a little bit.

Mike Post is the creator of the law and order.

All the law and order theme songs.

And Dick Wolf, who created all the law and orders, the law and order universe, all that stuff,

was really, really like adamant about how this theme song had to be so different and nobody could copy it.

Okay.

To the point where Mike Post did, he took specific marching orders from creator Dick Wolf.

Post had a keyboard, a guitar, drum sounds, drawing inspiration from Rhapsody and Blue.

The Dun Dunn is the sound of the clang.

It was added later with synthesizers to Betten Monks.

Like just a bunch of weird sources so that it couldn't be duplicated.

So that bump bump is completely original.

Like the sound, all of it.

And all just kind of cool.

I don't know.

I'm a big law and order fan.

I'm a big law and order fan.

The original law and order, I would say up until like the last handful of seasons I've seen every episode.

And I'm a big fan of the show.

That's been on for a long time, hasn't it?

It's such a cool concept of really getting the idea of seeing what the officers are doing on the street.

And then once it's in the court room, the concept of it has been kind of normalized now.

But at the time, there was nothing like it on TV.

It was completely original.

And you had some great actors on there.

You had some really good actors on there over the years.

We're going to talk to Ethel and get her information.

Did you catch that it's Ethel?

I know.

And if you have an ogle, that's so good.

I know.

I love that.

Awesome.

Nice, nice.

That's awesome.

We're going to talk to Ethel.

We'll come back and we'll have some more fun on the morning show.

But be listening every Friday for the next chance for you to win some free callers with our star of the day.

Welcome back, everybody.

Morning show here at WFHR, locally grown radio.

Alia and James hanging out with you.

Thanks so much for hanging out with us.

Hope you're having a good one out there.

We're going to take you to the top of the hour.

Get some good stuff in the 10 o'clock hour.

Kick things off with entertainment news.

We have a special guest joining us to kick off the 10 o'clock hour.

I'm going to get this right Pam Hilke.

Is she going by Pam or Pam?

No, Pam's going to join us.

We're going to talk a little bit about the great show that was going on yesterday.

William, a company and all that.

She got to take it in.

I want to hear a review from her and how it went.

We'll talk to Pam at the top of the 10 o'clock.

We have some other entertainment news for you.

And before I wrap up, got a couple of fun topics.

I want to get into the ranking of the best and worst Halloween candies.

I've been patiently waiting for it.

Part of that list comes from what's the best candies to hand out.

And that's kind of where it started from and everything.

So we'll kind of look at it a little bit in that way in regard to all that coming up.

But we also wanted to get to this right here.

Where's that coming from?

I don't know.

Is that where is that coming from?

Oh, it's outside.

It's outside the studio.

I thought we, I don't know if the audience can hear that or not.

But I thought there was an extra sound coming in through our board here.

Nope.

So do we need our phones?

Yes or no?

This is where we're going with this next one.

We're all a little bit too relying on our phones.

I think a lot of us can admit that.

I think we also can admit that our phones are more than phones.

And we kind of have to evolve the way we look at these things.

Yeah.

I don't know that we can even call them phones anymore.

But my children programmed the name of my phone to read Alia's mini robots.

So whenever I plug it into my car, it says, would you like to engage Alia's mini robot?

I'm like, sure.

Who are you not?

That sounds cool.

So if you need some help treating your phone, you know, getting a break from your phone,

you and your phone need a break.

You need time apart or something.

There's a few tips from experts on here that you can get at archive.org or the New York Times that they brought up.

Treat it like a landline.

This has become a trend on TikTok recently.

Pick a spot in your house and leave it.

Leave your phone there when you get home.

That way you're less likely to carry it around and look at it every five seconds.

I think part of the reason we do this so much is because it is on us.

Yeah.

I also like this because when you set your phone down, if you do it to the same place every time,

hopefully you won't forget where you set your phone.

Because man, do I do that one from time to time?

Yes, all the time.

Try batching.

B-A-T-C-H-I-N-G.

And boy did I have to be careful with that one.

FCC were right there.

Right.

Oh, darn it.

He's so close.

He's so close.

Rather than checking text, social media and emails all day long,

set a few specific times when you check them all at once.

Like 15 minutes in the morning, another 20 minutes around lunch,

and maybe 45 minutes in the evening.

Okay.

You break it up like that.

It might make it a little more, you know, you're not on the phone as much.

But I know for me, I kind of do this, and I didn't do this intentionally.

I do this because I just have a very busy day.

And I feel bad people liking my stuff on social media and me not liking thirds.

I admit this.

I admit that I do this.

I don't do this with everybody, and I don't do it with a ton of things.

But there are certain times where I will find myself doing this.

So I don't really get a lot from social media.

But I certainly use it to advertise and to promote our station,

things we do along with my acting career, stuff like that.

Yeah.

So I will, I have to get some time during the week to get on there

so that I can like other people's things because I appreciate them liking mine.

But I don't have a lot of time.

So I put time aside on the at night for it and everything.

Well, and also people are so used to like immediate responses these days.

So like the problem with me, I could not batch in that way.

Because if I don't answer a text from my mother or my mother-in-law

within a certain amount of time, I'm getting a phone call.
