Live From New York… (or not) (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 truth, the figure, the drama, and then makes no difference what you brought in.

Ah, now everything people.

Let's get it going. Friday edition of The Morning Show here at 975 FM 1320 AM.

Locally grown radio. Got your host James here, joined by our one of our stars of sales.

We have Alia. Hello.

And our program director over at 1055WiRiSeth Habagger. Good morning, and the best listeners and radio.

Thanks for being here, everybody. Hope you're having a great one out there.

We're gonna have some fun this morning.

Coming up, we got the Elcafe birthday anniversary club.

We'll be celebrating Friday, Saturday, and Sunday birthdays.

Looking forward to that. Take a break.

And afterwards, we're gonna make you a star of the day with our friends from Culvers.

I've got two theme songs lined up because I am not confident in the first one.

Oh, dear. So I've got two TV show theme songs for you all.

Interesting. You're gonna get one of them right for sure.

And you'll win some free Culvers.

We got that coming up for you a little bit later.

Along with that, we're also gonna get into the University of Montana.

The University of Montana has a 30 year Halloween pumpkin mystery.

Oh, that's cool.

That's cool.

We'll talk about that. Very cool.

We've got that one coming up for you in a little bit, everybody.

We'll kick off the 10 o'clock hour, some entertainment news.

We say goodbye to a guitar legend.

Kiana Reeves, what his name could have been.

And a lifetime holiday movie that I did not see.

I should have seen coming that I did not, and I will own that.

I should have seen it coming, but I did not.

All right. That's all coming up for you.

Of course, we will also get into some other fun stuff.

I've got a good one here about what's something you just don't get the appeal of at all.

Okay.

Don't understand it, everything.

So many things.

I was just talking to one of my students the other day.

Does not understand how people love fish tanks.

Does not understand fish tanks.

Doesn't get it. Doesn't understand it.

Never has.

We're in quite a heated debate about that really.

We were debating back and forth about it and everything.

So all those things coming up and it's live radio.

You never know what we might get into.

Like this one right here.

The general consensus is that America's top three cities are New York City,

Los Angeles, and Chicago.

I think you can probably throw Houston in there sometimes,

and take out Chicago, put in Houston.

You know, maybe there's another city you could throw in there

from time to time at different moments in America,

a history, but that's pretty much the top three.

And that's backed up by population,

where they are the top three cities in country.

Again, New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago.

So people online are debating which city should get the title

of America's fourth best city.

Okay.

I have thought about this my whole life.

I admit in part because of where I grew up,

right outside Chicago and everything.

And it's something that pops in your mind from time to time.

And I think it's kind of a fun conversation,

especially because there's no right answer.

If you want to call in and represent Albuquerque, New Mexico,

I am fine with that.

That's cool.

We can handle that.

If you want to throw Wisconsin Rapids in there,

I'm fine with that.

Now, this would be, of course,

if we were going by population, be a very different conversation.

But I think it's just more fun to kind of get into

what would you like to see America's fourth major city?

What would you like to say is and stuff.

So if we're going by population,

you're going to go Houston, Phoenix, Philadelphia,

and then San Antonio.

Okay.

Anybody else surprised San Antonio got in there?

I am surprised, actually.

Yes, I am.

I mean, I'm not at all with Houston, of course.

Right.

Phoenix a little bit.

Philadelphia.

That used to be number four.

Philly, back in the day, was number four in population

if I remember correctly.

I don't think of Philadelphia as big.

I don't think of that.

I think of it as not a small town by any means.

Right.

But I never really think about them as a major metropolitan city,

which they are.

Would you push them before Boston, like for instance?

It's like one of those things where you,

would you even think about it?

I wouldn't put them before Pittsburgh.

Right.

And they don't mean that as an instance.

Right.

Yeah.

I think of Pittsburgh as I actually surprised Pittsburgh is not

higher on this list.

Right.

I would have thought they would have been.

But there are other things to consider.

Like I said, or though Washington DC,

Washington DC is the nation's capital in the center of politics

and government.

So that should be brought up into the conversation.

Sure.

And then San Francisco is the unofficial capital of technology

in multicultural hub.

So I mean, there's one of reference.

And then there's our callers.

Let's go ahead and find out what's on your mind.

Good morning.

You're on the show.

What about Miami?

What did they say?

Oh, yeah.

That's a good one.

Great one.

That's a really good one right there.

I don't see them on the list here.

But that's one that should be brought up.

Yeah.

That's a great one.

Appreciate that, sir.

Awesome.

Have a good morning.

Keep getting in your suggestions, everybody.

We want to hear them.

715-424-2600.

I know that population wise, it doesn't work.

But I love Madison.

I love Madison.

I love Madison.

I love Madison.

I throw that one in there.

There's those cities that have that like art culture.

You know, Madison, Austin, you know.

Yeah.

And that's the kind of art in there.

So yeah.

I got this article from the BBC.

There's two other cities, a couple of other cities they mentioned.

Like the caller just did.

I'm sorry, I didn't see that.

I didn't pre-read this one.

I wanted to be...

I wanted to have fresh eyes like you guys did.

Miami is the second most visited city by overseas travelers.

And America's quote, gateway to Latin America.

That makes sense.

That does make sense.

And everything.

Yeah, very good.

And I know to a lot of my friends growing up, that was...

Miami in many ways was considered a little bit like...

Plymouth Rock.

Like the modern version of it and everything.

That makes sense.

There's some major...

You know, major locations there in Miami in particular where...

For century, decades.

You know, many Cuban immigrants have been Americanized over and stuff.

That's a good one.

That's a good one to mention.

Atlanta is the home of the world's busiest airport.

And, you know, of course Atlanta.

A town.

That's a pretty big one right there.

It's a massive.

I've never been to Atlanta.

I've driven through it and...

Yes, we do.

Don't want to do it.

You want to talk about poor traffic?

Yeah, Atlanta is bad.

It's really bad.

It takes forever to go through it.

Atlanta...

Georgia reminds me a little bit of Illinois in many ways where I hear people talk about Georgia's

one thing.

Atlanta.

Whole different thing.

Yeah.

Chicago's one thing.

The rest of Illinois is kind of a different thing.

Yeah.

As a non-Chicago in Illinois and I will agree with you.

The rest of us are better.

No, I got no defense.

I have no defense.

And there's also Boston which is one of the country's oldest cities and home to many universities,

museums, entertainment.

Right.

So, where I'm going to go with this one, New York City East Coast, Los Angeles West Coast,

Chicago Midwest.

Right.

I feel like we should include the South in this.

I am with you.

I'm with you on that.

Also, like the mountain ranges like Denver is a pre-adjustable city.

Yes.

The West quoted quote.

The West is such a vague term.

Yeah.

Everything west of what, Nebraska or something like that is the West.

Yeah.

Even though lots of differences.

You know, you got the mountains.

You got the deserts down in the Southwest.

You got California's its own thing, you know, in the Northeast.

I think that's such a great point, man, because I don't, I know I thought about it while I was out there,

because a lot of people in California were just like anything basically past Nevada was, you know, Midwest or whatever and stuff.

It's exactly.

I kind of found that I was doing that a little bit with the West until I moved out there myself.

And every one of those states are so very different.

Oh, yeah.

Arizona and California alone are night and day completely different from each other.

And then throw a New Mexico there and another very different state, yeah.

A solid point.

Yeah.

Where I don't know like out east and again, I haven't been out east.

But I don't know if there's a gigantic difference between Delaware and Vermont.

I don't know that there's a gigantic difference between New Is there?

Oh, yeah.

I was really asking the question I was really.

I grew up in southern Virginia and my mom had relatives up in Massachusetts and we would drive up that coast when I was a kid all the time.

And just I was out in Massachusetts last October for my cousin's birthday.

And we drove up to Maine, which is only about a two hour drive for more of my cousin lived.

But just going through Vermont, New Hampshire, you just you hit different cultures.

I we stopped at a gas station and people were speaking French in a gas station in New Hampshire.

Well, because there's a large French influence there even all these.

From the French Canadians.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm sure years later.

So I mean, it's fascinating.

It's so interesting.

Yeah, really.

Wow.

It's pretty cool.

I especially this time of year, I think like a lot of people's stuff you think about Vermont and some of those areas up there main.

And just like seeing the trees and all that at this time of year would be beautiful.

That would be.

Arguably though, we're just as gorgeous here with our colors.

And that's what I plan on doing this weekend.

Me and my husband are just going to take a drive and look at the fall colors.

That's right.

That's right.

I'm awesome thing to do.

Is the room in the back seat?

Sure.

I got room for three in the back seat.

I really make a periscope in the trunk.

He'll be fine.

I promise.

I won't be that.

Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?

I will just turn around and smack you.

You don't understand him.

It's here's some snack shut up James.

It's really interesting, you know, this debate because you think about, you know, New York and Los Angeles and Chicago, they're all known for something.

They've been big for so long.

Right.

And that's part of it.

You know, New York was, you know, it is, you know, the immigrant city, you know, the melting pot city because of all the people that live there.

Los Angeles, you know, has the, not only the Spanish influence, but it's got, you know, the Hollywood thing for centuries now because of the movie thing.

That has really influenced that.

And the Chicago, you know, it's the big port and the big, you know, lake and all the, you know, the rendering plants and the slaughterhouses.

It was every train like connects the hub, right?

The station.

Yeah, exactly.

What does Houston have?

That's the question.

Houston may be the fourth largest in terms of population, but it's a new big city.

It's grown.

It's got a lot of city.

It's getting chunked.

Space it, you know, because it's got the NASA connection, you know, Houston.

So there's that, which is cool, right?

Yeah.

But you think about the other cities like Philadelphia, wow, you know, birthplace of the nation kind of thing.

You know, that's where a lot of important things happen.

Or you think of New Orleans.

And if you're going to go to the south, you know, all the great culture down there in New Orleans and that kind of thing.

So it's, this is a really fascinating discussion to have because of all the difference.

Because it's such a big country.

And there's so many different things about it.

I love these ones where I don't think there's a wrong answer necessarily.

Exactly.

You know, one, I just throwing it out there because it hasn't been brought up, but lost Vegas.

Is it pretty big?

It's the own thing, right?

Seattle.

Or even Seattle has its own thing, yeah.

Seattle has its own thing, yeah.

It's so cool.

An unpopular opinion.

I lived in Indianapolis for about 15 years, and it's actually a pretty, it's a pretty great city.

I don't love Indiana.

That's why I live in Wisconsin, but as a city, Indianapolis has a lot of really cool things.

And it's close to a lot of other places.

And it's right in the smack middle of the state, which this really, I love that for some reason.

It's right in the middle of the state.

It's right in Chicago, or three hours, three to four hours from St. Louis, or two hours from Cincinnati,

or three hours for Columbus, Ohio.

Memphis is not far away.

Nashville, you know?

You're like a seven hour radius.

You're in a whole lot of other, maybe I'm not selling this because I'm saying if you live in Indianapolis,

you're like in a seven hour radius of a lot of other cooler things.

Going elsewhere.

I retract my statements.

I wouldn't have thought of that, though.

I've only driven through Indiana.

I don't know what Indiana that was.

Yeah, that's most people have.

Well, they're still better there.

Minneapolis, Detroit, Cleveland, other cities that I think should be mentioned.

Nashville, Nashville, you know, Memphis, as long as we're going to tell the same thing.

Why not?

There's a government, I wonder.

Now, so this article also said something kind of interesting, I think, about the cities that, you know,

people visit the most from out of the country, the come here to visit most.

And, you know, we had those for you with the major cities that we have already

and then throwing in there, Houston, Miami, and some others.

That is another one, too, where when we bring up Vegas or you bring up Seattle

or some of these other ones that are located, they're very, they're visited a lot by people

from out of the country and stuff, exactly.

That's another one.

That's another factor there, too.

Again, we'll take your votes.

Everybody, who do you think should be known?

What city do you think should be known as America's fourth major city?

We'll take a quick time out, come back and do some celebrating with the LKFA birthday and anniversary club

on the morning show at WFHR.

Everybody, let's have some fun, y'all a little but watch, and when you're dead, you're done.

Felicity Jones is 42 today.

Ooh.

Good actor.

Yes.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and on the basis of sex, one of the stars of Rogue One.

Yeah.

She's good.

The greatest Star Wars movie.

Stephen Hawking's wife in the theory of everything.

Oh, yeah.

I miss that one.

Oh, that's cool.

I don't know that she has the most recognizable name or face.

But I feel like you see her work and you will not forget Felicity Jones.

Yeah, yeah.

She's really good.

And she does not work that much.

But when she does,

Ooh.

Oh, I get goosebumps thinking about some of her performance.

That's really cool.

She's good.

Eminem is 53.

Wow.

Marshall Mathers, the third is 53.

Wow.

Mathers forget he's older.

He used to believe that.

Yeah.

Right, right.

Too bad.

It's right there.

In an odd way.

I've seen this so much with so many of the 90s rappers and early Outs rappers that we

grew up with and everything.

And so many of them are having a hard time figuring out how to be an adult or how to dress.

For every like Audrey 3000 where he's kind of like, you know, I outgrow rap.

It doesn't make sense for me.

I'm in my 50s, man.

It doesn't make sense.

Yeah.

There's a lot of rappers that are still doing it and still kind of like doing their same

gimmick.

Eminem is evolved.

He's definitely in his 50s.

Yeah.

But I wouldn't say he's dressing like a 50 year old anymore than he's dressing like a 90s

guy or anything like.

Yeah.

He's just kind of evolved into who he is and really not changed.

I loved the fact that he's been around long enough to now where people are talking about him.

And him being a white rapper is like the 20th thing they bring up.

Yeah.

It's way down the line now.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's one of the best lyricists we've ever heard.

Yeah.

That's one of the most different rappers we've ever heard.

The guy who took the game into a different direction and everything.

Right.

Bit of a genius.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Just incredible.

Really good artist.

Ziggy Marley is 57.

Nice.

Of course, son of Bob Marley.

Yeah.

Mike Judd is 63.

I don't know, comedic, incredible comedic genius, man.

I mean, he's good.

Look at Mike Judd's little resume.

He's got a couple of other great shows too.

He's got one.

It was an animated show that had interviews with it where it was basically talking to people

when they went on tour.

Like some of the members are Leonard Skinner or certain bands.

A lot of country artists.

I vaguely recall that.

Yeah.

It's an amazing show if you get a chance to watch it.

And some stories that I had never heard.

Then we're like talking to the real people and stuff.

Right.

Yeah.

Alan Jackson 67.

We celebrated that on the sunrise show.

For him.

The great Michael McKean is 78, one of the most underrated actors.

Wow.

Any of us will ever see.

Lenny and Laverne and Shirley.

A spinal tap lead singer.

And certainly it was on SNL for quite a while and stuff.

Great actor.

Great.

Paul Saul.

He was pretty good.

Yeah.

He was so good on that.

Forget about that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Some people no longer with us.

Margaret Kitter.

Yeah.

Lois Lane for a lot of us.

Man, she was great.

Yeah.

She was in a lot of great movies in the 70s.

But yeah.

Born in 1948.

Norm.

Chicago's own.

George Went.

Born in this day.

1948.

Just passed away just this year recently.

Yeah.

Also great voice actor.

Norm.

Actor.

Song and Dance Man.

He was on Broadway.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Uncle to Jason Cedacus.

That's right.

Norm McDonald also born in this day in 1959.

Wow.

Another, well, one was a fake norm.

That was a real norm.

Yes.

But I think of Norm McDonald like that band that never really had a hit song.

But everybody loved it.

You know, all the cool people in New York.

Oh, dude.

That's a great analogy.

He's the velvet underground of comedy.

Yes.

That is what he is, man.

The big star for those who know that.

Yeah.

He was born in this day in 1938.

Certainly one of the legends.

One of the guys that took that jump.

I don't know the day bike.

Do it anymore.

I don't know.

Not really this thing.

I know his son tried to kind of carry it down.

That didn't really go anywhere.

He was the one that everyone paid attention to because he was the one that he did all these crazy things.

And man.

Yeah.

It's amazing.

Something else.

He just became a term.

You see someone doing something crazy.

Like, hey, slow down, evil, carnival.

That's legendary.

He became part of the culture.

Yeah.

It's a great way to put.

Yeah, I didn't even think about that.

Yeah.

Taking a quick look at Saturday and Sunday birthdays on Saturday.

Oh, Lindsay Vaughn is 41.

Man.

You get to see Lindsay Vaughn's ski.

Yeah.

Do it.

Yes.

Incredible, incredible.

Martini Neverto-Lova is 69.

Whoa.

If you were lucky enough, you got to see one of the best tennis players of all time.

That's right.

Man, her and graph.

Those two going at it.

It might as well be two prize fighters going at it.

Yeah.

It was just so much fun watching them as a kid.

Icons as female athletes.

Yeah.

That's right.

Chuck Laurie is 73, creator two and a half men.

The Big Bang Theory young Sheldon, Mike and Molly.

A bajillion move shows that have made him a bajillion dollars.

Yeah.

I think his most underrated show is Mom.

That's a good one.

I didn't get to watch a lot of it, but what I saw of it, that was a great show.

That was an interesting show.

Yeah.

I got to give him a prayer for that one.

I've got like a couple of names.

Why not a writer, Sophia Loran.

There's a couple of names of like early crushes I had when I was a kid.

Sure.

It may have been, I don't know if second or third on that list, Pam Dobber.

74 today.

For Mindy, for Mark and Mindy.

That's right.

I love Pam Dobber.

It's like an analyzing again.

Love, please.

Go right ahead.

Good luck and welcome.

Yeah, right.

Welcome to the Mad House.

Yeah.

Exactly.

Leave a bread trail.

We always lost Melissa.

We always lost her once in a really days.

Mike Dick, born on Saturday, 1986 on Saturday.

One of the greatest tall tight ends of all time.

Yes.

And then some people no longer with us, who wouldn't sell very celebrating birthdays on Saturday.

Like the great, the legend Peter Boyle.

Frank, of course, I know everybody loves Raymond.

The wizard and taxi driver.

A lot of great books over the years.

A lot of like bit roles over the years really well.

He was building up and everything.

Of course, he is the monster in young Frankenstein.

Yep.

My dad and I were just watching young Frankenstein the other day.

Very, very good.

This is one of my favorite, very good guest starring role on an episode of the X-Files.

Called Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose.

It's an excellent episode.

It's a great episode.

That's a good one.

Yeah.

My family's always trying to get me to watch Halloween movies.

I'm going to pitch young Frankenstein.

Oh, there you go.

I can handle that one.

I can handle that one.

It's fun one.

Yes.

It still holds up.

It does.

I think Tuesday or something like that.

I just need the tamist.

The tamist.

There you go.

I'm a chicken.

It's one of those movies.

Oh, that's all right.

It's one of those movies.

My dad had it on.

And I come into the room.

And I was busy.

I was doing things.

I come into the room.

And I realized, all I've been watching this with him for like half an hour.

Yeah.

He just sucked it out.

He sucked it out.

And Chuck Berry.

Oh, I'm sorry.

As we look at Sunday birthdays, yeah.

I just wanted to look at Sunday.

No, no, that's a wrap of Saturday birthdays.

Chuck Berry would have been celebrating a birthday and born in 1926 on Saturday.

Then a quick look at Sunday birthdays.

A shout out to Jillian Jacobs, who is 43 on Sunday.

I do where he goes there.

He's so fun.

He's so awesome in that movie.

I love it.

He's so darn good in that movie.

Yeah.

And Alia, you were mentioned about how you feel about horror movies.

I'm on the same wavelength.

It's only just that they don't do anything for me.

They don't scare me.

The scariest scene I think of all time is John Favreau and Swingers leaving like 80 answers

on an answering machine.

Yeah.

All of his ex-girlfriend and everything.

It's the most uncomfortable scene.

It's so uncomfortable.

I'm going to need to watch that for 20 plus years.

I still haven't gotten around to it.

Maybe that's my weekend assignment.

It might be good.

It might be good.

And let's see.

Evander Holyfield is 63 on Sunday.

Wow.

The legend John Lickow is 80 on Sunday.

Love John Lickow.

Love him so much.

So much.

What a fantastic career.

Of course, great character actor, great actor in general.

And great voice actor with the Shrek movies and some of those.

Third rock from the sun.

Incredible.

Incredible dark turn and dexter.

One of the darkest characters of all time.

He played a couple of good villains.

He's forgotten.

People forget he's really good at playing villains.

So he did.

I know it's not a great movie, but Cliffhanger.

Cliffhanger.

He's good and that one is the villain now.

I'm going to tell you on this hill his best film of all time.

I will hear no objections to this as Harry and a Henderson.

It's the one.

It is.

The John Lickow.

I don't care.

We're just going.

Don't care.

I'm not like you.

I'm not like you.

You're not like me.

You're not like me.

But you're not like me.

And I'm like.

I'm not like you're not like me.

I'm not like you're not like me.

But you're not like me.

I'm not like you're not like you're not like me.

I'm not like you're not like me.

I'm not like you're not like me.

For those that don't know, he has just recently been cast as Elba's Dumbledore

on the upcoming Harry Potter series.

Yeah.

Oh, he has.

Oh, that's cool.

That's an interesting choice.

Man.

I've got no problem with it.

Don Lickow.

You've noticed about how he kind of does over the top really well.

He does make fun of himself for that though.

To that point, uh, uh, uh, Leah, I, I am only going.

I'm not going to argue with you about the Harry Potter series.

But I will, I will just throw out there for another reference as his work on that

a Saturday live in with John, uh, Lickow or a, uh, John Lovitz in particular.

Okay.

I was acting.

I was acting.

Yeah.

That is good.

That is good.

That is good.

That is good.

That is good.

That is good.

You're going to get kids meal and adult meal from our Wisconsin Rapids callers.

Big shout out to our Wisconsin Rapids callers.

Wherever you have a callers, you have one putting back into the community.

We appreciate them for that.

Get some callers in your life, everybody.

Yeah.

Maybe get some free callers in your life.

That's right.

If you can guess what this theme song is.

Yeah.

It's a challenge.

It's a challenge.

It's a challenge.

I kind of thought this was going to happen.

I'm giving it another five.

You know, this is one of the, I've never heard this without, you know, the, uh, announcer

I would give a hint to without the announcer talking over it.

Yeah.

You know, introducing the show.

Yeah.

I mean, you know, given that it's a weekend show as well, that only is on one night a

week live.

Right.

One at a week.

That's right.

Okay.

A little tougher one.

Yeah.

It is.

That is a very sweet saxophone in the background.

I'm digging it, though.

I'm digging the sax.

It's great.

You know, the theme song takes a little bit of the 70s because it's been around since the

70s.

I think 50, 50, 75 years.

Maybe that was 50 years or something like that.

All right.

I don't think the music is going to be that bad.

All right.

So I will go ahead and go on.

We try.

I did have a backup plan, everybody, like I always do.

Uh, so here we go.

Here is another one for you.

Call up if you know what TV show this is from.

Come on.

Now you guys are just playing hard.

Yeah.

Now you're being mean.

There we go.

There we go.

Let's see if we can.

We have ourselves a winner.

Good morning.

What's your answer?

Oh, I'm gonna guess.

I love Lucy.

We were correct.

Yes.

Yes.

That's a good guess.

Nicely done.

Who do we have on the phone with us?

My name is Ron.

Ron.

Thank you so much for listening and playing along.

What town do you call us from, Ron?

On a Grand Rapids.

Right.

All right.

We haven't had anybody from Grand Rapids in a while.

That's awesome.

Nice.

I bet you do.

They just say Wisconsin Rapids.

He's very specific though.

He's very specific.

He liked the specific.

Yeah.

Like that.

We appreciate that.

Ron, did you grow up or did you watch?

I live, Lucy.

No, no.

I occasionally.

Yeah.

Okay.

I have a fan of it, I guess.

You watch it.

You might, maybe you are now.

Because you got some free halvers.

Cuzz of it.

So, Ron, we appreciate you listening and playing along.

Hang in the line.

Gonna get a little information from you off air.

But you're our newest star of the day.

Thanks, halvers.

All right.

Yeah.

That's very smart.

Big shout out to halvers.

So why did I do these in particular?

Well, like everything else I do, it has to have a meaning.

It was on October 11th in 1975.

And not ready for primetime players began.

A George Carlin, the first host.

Yeah.

Actually, Amy Poler, in the most recent host, referenced this.

Oh, wow.

That's cool.

That's cool.

She killed it, by the way.

She was amazing.

So I wanted to play a center live theme song.

That's what we did to start off with and everything.

I took the 90s one just because it seemed like one of the more popular ones.

And then, of course, I love Lucy.

Where Ron just won.

Well, it was on October 15th in 1951 that I love Lucy premiered.

That's cool.

So cool.

It'll be fun.

How interesting juxtaposition there.

Those two shows.

Two very, very different shows.

Yeah.

We couldn't stump Ron.

Ron got it.

Ron got it.

He's all on that.

Very groundbreaking shows too.

In a lot of ways.

You were right.

You were not wrong.

Eternal.

You can't tell the history of TV without either one of them.

No.

You got it.

So we appreciate everybody listening and trying to play along and everything.

Be like Ron.

Listen next Friday.

For another opportunity to win some free callvers with our good friends at the Wisconsin

callvers and our star of the day.

We'll be back with more show coming up.

Go Mars for trade himself.

Welcome back everyone.

Morning show here at WFHR locally grown radio.

Hope you're having a great day out there.

I want to say a big thank you to everybody who tried to call in for the call for

another star of the day.

Thanks so much for playing along everybody.

Be listening next Friday for another great one we got lined up for you.

I got a special show lined up for you next Friday.

We'll be talking more about that next week.

Yeah.

Looking forward to it.

And we're going to take it right to the top of the hour.

Got a couple of fun things to get into.

Like this mystery.

And I do believe we've talked about this one on the morning show before.
