Squeaky Lawsuits (Hour 1)

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

Let's get it going time to kick off the morning show for the week here on 97 5 FM 13 20 a.m.

W F H R got your host James here joined by your PD over on 105 5 WRI across the hallways.

That's a hat backer. Good morning. And our head producer here at W F H R law. Hi.

We hope you all are having a great start to the day. Thanks for joining us to the best listeners in radio.

Great stuff to get into today. We're going to talk a little bit about Charmin.

Okay. Charmin going going back to the old days. Don't squeeze the Charmin. It's going back.

You know, it's good to talk about T P and homecoming season. That's perfect time is perfect time.

We have that coming up for you. We have a couple of odd stories here and there and stuff.

Gotta talk about a mean squirrel and some evil dolls all that coming up.

We will have it's a Monday 10 o'clock hour. You know what that means? The kitchen's open with Beth.

Thanks to our friends at hotel mean. Yes, exciting. And Beth sent over a good story.

She's just going to hang out with us and join us for this good housekeeping.

2025 Best Toy Awards. Oh, that's cool.

Gotta get that broken down kind of cool too. We're not going to go through everything. We'll go through some of that.

Sure. Have a little bit of entertainment news. We'll get into as well.

Was Yoda almost blue? Okay. We will find out. He's sad.

Any any number of colors he could have been to be fair.

And Halloween candy odds. What are the odds of which candy your kid is going to get?

Oh, come on. Got all that coming up for you because someone you know is betting on that.

There's someone's placing a bet on that.

We have to have a couple of heavy conversations though to kick things off.

Sure. And that's just what we do around here from time to time. We try to be a break from every day.

Minotony or every day news 24 hours. Some news cycle all those things.

But once in a while we got to talk about important things like adult wean.

Should there be a Halloween for adults? We'll get to that in a moment though.

Okay. Over the weekend was the No Kings rallies.

What's true? There were over there were at least a hundred in the state.

I know. Laura, you saw some numbers on that.

I did. I wasn't able to find the Wisconsin total of people who took part.

But across the country, seven million people were part of the No Kings protests across the country this weekend.

And that's a really big number. That is a previously unheard of number.

Right. The seven million number is a little on the high end.

The range I heard was like from 4.2 to seven somewhere.

It's really hard to estimate these things. Still.

Well, no. And to your point, Laura.

Yeah.

The largest protests since 1970.

Prior to this one.

Yes. Since 1970.

That's the most people that have protested at one time.

That's a lot, guys.

That's a lot of people.

So it's good to see that the people have opinions and they are voicing them.

It's a huge, huge thing, especially considering that we're under an administration that kind of doesn't love that all the time.

I think it's important for a lot of reasons.

I think one of the positives of this is showing how much, you know, we talked about this with legal women voters.

These protests have nothing to do with Republicans or Democrats.

No.

They're about way we came to the forefathers of the Constitution came to this country with a design, with a plan in mind.

Right.

We've been keeping that going since we look to keep that going.

Right.

The idea of no kings is more than just saying whether or not Donald has a crown.

Right.

It's about authoritarianism.

And that's what's on the table.

You're just going to see a lot of reporting on this past weekend.

I think throughout the week here.

Not just by, you know, nationally, but of course, by our own civic media and journalist team.

Yeah.

That we have an ACE team.

We had journalists out at most of the places across the state.

You're going to be hearing a lot of great reporting on that one.

Be on the lookout for it.

Everybody's civic media.us is an important website.

Keep in mind.

Keep a bookmarked and keep this in mind too with these rallies.

Because as I said, I think one of the most important parts to remember is this is about democracy.

It's not about who you voted for, who you're going to vote for.

Any of that stuff.

It's about democracy and keeping democracy alive.

Also, there is a, he may be my second third favorite player in college football right now playing for Georgia Tech.

Playing is mind out right now.

Sure.

Kids name is Haynes King.

Okay.

And I just feel a little bad for the young man.

King is a very popular surname.

It is a really popular surname.

It is a really popular surname.

You know, if you don't want, if you're not paying it, football players get pretty locked into football.

They may not even know what's going on in the outside world.

Sorry to all of the kings.

Yeah.

You know, just as a little sign.

What did I do?

What?

I went to school with some kings.

Did you know what?

We wanted to get to this one with everybody.

The adult tween.

Halloween is a lot of fun for kids, but just for a second.

You know, forget about that.

Should adults get their own night to celebrate Halloween?

Yes.

The term adult tween is back in the news.

The folks at Fiero Candles got in the trend last year and they kind of got the bowl.

I wouldn't say we're running, but a little bit more on a national scale.

Sure.

The new poll found over half of adults think grown-ups should get their own night to celebrate Halloween without involving the kids.

54% wish it was a thing.

There are some other stats from this one, but I want to hear from the audience.

Of course, 715-424-2600.

Do you think this should be a thing?

Like literally a thing.

I think, say, let's just say for the heck of it, December 30th was adult to Halloween.

Just to give some kind of like make it easier on people.

Here's where I met.

So I think one, we're grown-ups.

We can dress any way we want, anytime we want, and so like go ahead and dress up on December 30th.

That's what you want to do.

But also dress up on Halloween because why not?

And if you have a social circle, which is something that is kind of well known to be an issue for adults nowadays.

If you had a social circle, you'd probably have an adult tween party somewhere.

That's probably true.

I mean, last year, the closest thing I had to adult tween was the karaoke night at the theater.

And I got to dress up as a clown.

I got to say karaoke.

It was a great time.

You got to make your own.

Hey, here's something that I've kind of thought about over the years.

So specifically, Halloween became what it was because the folklore around it.

This is because it's before All Saints Day on the first.

And it's like the day when the ghosts come out or whatever.

I can't remember off the top of my head.

It's the spooky night because the dead rise and all these kinds of things.

The veil is the night.

But that is not the only night in the year that has that folklore.

You've got like, well, Purgis knocked.

If you're doing the German or well, Purgis night.

You have St. George, the eve of St. George's Day.

Those are all days when the same thing basically happens.

So there you go.

We just need to choose one of those days for the adult tween.

Or celebrate them all.

Yeah.

Or just do it as much as you can.

Let's have a St. George's Day karaoke party at the theater.

Come on.

I like the idea of Halloween turning into Hanukkah.

I'll dress up like a dragon.

Yeah, right.

Halloween is like Hanukkah.

It's a several days.

It's a several days.

But we're going to spread about throughout here once a month.

There you go.

Once a month.

I kind of, I kind of, this might be controversial.

I kind of feel like Halloween always was an adult holiday.

In a lot of ways.

In a lot of ways, yeah.

So if you look at what Disney did with the grim stories.

There's the grim stories.

And then there's the Disney version of those.

I feel like we've done that with Halloween over the decades.

Sure.

Where it kind of started out as this grim story.

And we've kind of disneyfied it over the years to make it safe for you.

Happy for kids and stuff.

Sure.

You know, with marketing and all the things that there are there.

You know, it's gone into the kids realm more than anything.

But I don't think that this has ever been necessarily a kids holiday.

I think it started out more for adults.

Well, because it started out as a spiritual holiday.

Yeah, I mean, we, we involved the kids.

And so we continued to involve the kids.

Here are some more stats.

Most of us agree Halloween isn't just for kids.

62% think it's as much fun for, as much for adults as it is for children.

That jumps to 71% if you're a parent.

Yeah.

Okay.

Most parents will steal from their kids candy stash.

Oh, yeah.

Two thirds say that they have the right, the right to dip into their kids stash.

No, parent tax.

That was right.

I am on this side.

How is that only said that that's two thirds?

That should be the whole percentage.

It should be everyone.

Honestly, that's not true.

The rest of you parents, you're too nice.

Unless those parents are also trick-or-treating.

58% think that they should be allowed.

Listen, I'd go trick-or-treating if people would give me candy.

58% think that they should be allowed to dig while they're taking their kids trick-or-treating.

As the trick-or-treating is in the process of that.

That might be a little much.

Oh, listen, I do both.

Sometimes they get something that's too good.

You don't need that good life side.

You don't need that full size candy bar.

That's a full size candy bar.

I'm a full size person.

You're not there yet.

Whether you have kids or not, you're probably eating candy this month.

64% of us will buy candy even if we're not expecting trick-or-treaters.

71% of adults said that they buy extra for the candy for themselves just in case.

That is exactly what Will and I did when we were living together.

It is good to have a comedian for a roommate.

It's not always good for two guys to be roommates.

But the candy thing worked out.

That's good.

There's a couple of things to work out.

We always ate.

We had candy.

That was classic.

That's always classic.

My trick-or-treat basket is always full because I use it to bribe my children to do their chores.

I'm always buying the bags of mini candy.

That's me.

I have one in the spring buying three bags of mini candy.

Of the handouts kind of thing.

I already had my to the dismay of everyone.

I had my candy corn this year already.

Good for you.

A couple of times.

Good for you.

I don't understand the weird dislike of candy corn around here.

It's waxing and so some people just don't like the waxiness.

I like it.

I like once the sugar starts to melt in while you're eating it.

That's the business.

Who doesn't like it?

Who were those candies?

They were like a little soda bottle.

And you bid into it and they're a little juice.

Well, that was a wax soda bottle.

Yeah, it was.

You're right about that.

I can't remember what that was called though.

It was paraben wax and it had a little juice in it.

Wax lips.

How much wax we ate?

We ate a lot of wax.

It's edible.

It's edible.

It's edible.

It is edible but maybe not at that.

I don't know how much wax you should be.

I hate a lot of wax lips if we're being honest.

We will get into Halloween candy odds.

What the candy your kids are going to get likely a little bit later.

But as far as for now, the candy were more likely to steal.

76% said full-size candy bars.

Yes.

You have dad on that.

That's great.

72% prefer familiar favorites over new types.

And 67% will prefer nostalgic favorites from their own childhood.

Sure.

Men take Halloween a little more seriously.

52% splurge on premium candy to make sure they're, quote, good candy house.

Keeping up with the Joneses.

That is incredibly important to my father.

Good candy here.

Such a man way to look at things.

Goodness sakes.

Compared to 41% of women.

21% of men and 15% of women will also pass judgment on their neighbors.

And the candy they hand out.

Oh, for the love of people.

My dad has never done that.

My dad has never done that.

See, this is why I got a plan for everyone out there so we can cover all the bases.

Okay.

So what you need to have when you're giving out candy is you need to have one bowl of this regular, you know, stuff that people.

And then you get another bowl of the nostalgic stuff that may not make any more, you know, like pop rocks.

Or, you know, some kind of candy bar that they have made in a couple of decades or something like that.

And you will have, so the kids will get there and then you'll throw in, you know, something from the other one.

And they'll be like, what on earth is this in their parents?

They don't.

Well, they'll be like, oh my god.

It's one of those things I had when I was a kid.

And you get out, cover all the bases and the kids aren't going to want to eat that because you're like, I don't know what this is.

I like to say that.

It's not bad for a lot of reasons, but one of the involves more candy.

I have so many thoughts.

Okay.

Two things.

One, have you ever been to a house like during trick-or-treating where they're giving something away for the parents?

I don't think I have a fridge or a hot dog or like, I've been to a lot of them.

Going to the wrong house.

Yeah, you are.

You're in the wrong subdivision, my friends.

Two, I read an article.

I read an article I think last year or something.

This lady's been putting a single potato at a time in her Halloween trick-or-treat basket for kids to pick up.

And kids keep taking the potato.

Yeah.

And they're like fighting over the potato.

That's a great story.

And so I'm like, I need to try.

Love it.

I need to do it.

I have a new bag of potatoes.

Why not?

Premature potato chips.

Make your own.

Make your own potato chips.

Those are homemade fries.

Yeah, exactly.

You can do what you want with them.

You want fries, you want chips, whatever you want.

A couple more stats that we're kind of interesting.

It's a very nostalgic holiday.

I don't think we think about this very much.

Yeah, absolutely.

It can be 60% said that they celebrate for nostalgic reasons.

It jumps to 68% for parents.

Yeah.

Wow.

Especially come our generations, right?

Like for us, it's more nostalgic than I feel like it was for my parents.

For my parents, Christmas was the big nostalgia holiday.

You may be right on that.

But for like Gen X and millennials, it seems like Halloween.

I think Halloween was the big one.

I remember a lot of that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Our generations really put it on another level.

Halloween.

Yeah.

It also came around that time of the late 70s, early 80s,

where you had a lot more arise of business in this country.

More, much more, you know, you look at the specific for that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

In the rise of just, like, not just retail, but specific retail.

Hey, you want to store for this?

We got to store for this.

We got to store for this.

We got to store for this.

The height of the mall, right?

Yeah.

We had all the specialty stores in one place, right?

Yeah.

We said a little more of that.

Let's take a phone call.

Yeah.

Good morning, you're on the show.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I haven't bought candy for a long time, really.

Candy bars.

And when I went to Walmart, $2.54, that's for one of those.

Yeah.

That's crazy.

Yeah.

Candy inflation, it's a thing.

Yeah.

That's crazy.

Yeah.

It is crazy.

It is going to be expensive at Halloween this year.

I tell you what.

Yeah.

Well, the stats we had last week were kind of telling you

about that.

Yeah.

Right.

Do you have a favorite candy, sir?

Yeah.

I like Reese's peanut butter.

Yeah.

Classic.

That's what you bought for $2.44.

Yeah.

Well, I didn't buy one of those big ones.

I bought the bag with them.

Nice.

Yeah.

With those small ones.

Yeah.

The fun side.

Good idea.

I'll probably end up eating most of those.

We like it.

We like it.

We like the candy you like, right?

Yeah.

We like to say it's portion controlled.

But like, let's be real.

Yeah.

Good talking to you, sir.

Welcome.

So it comes to my house anyway.

Very few come to you.

Oh.

But you got to be ready, though.

You got just a case.

You got to be ready.

Just a case.

Yeah.

And you don't want the candy to go bad.

So you're going to get something you like.

There you go.

Have a good morning, sir.

Thank you for calling.

Appreciate the call.

And finally, Americans love Halloween.

47% said it's their favorite holiday.

47% is way higher than almost any other holiday,

including Christmas, Thanksgiving,

and a fourth of July, there.

Oh, okay.

All right.

So the holiday.

Wow.

Yeah.

Well, in fall tends to be the overall favorite season

for a lot of people, too.

Yeah.

It tends to be a lot of fun holidays in fall.

So yeah.

Interesting list.

Yep.

We will come back with another interesting list,

the L.K.A. birthday anniversary club.

On the morning show at WFHR.

But if you'd rather talk to Pam,

And who wouldn't rather talk to Pam?

I can't blame you, she's lovely.

Yeah.

Seth, give me a one or a two.

Two.

All right, give us a second.

73.

That's not a one or a two.

Oh, and now I'm throwing off.

That's not my bad.

I'm no good at math.

We wish a very happy birthday.

First off, to Jerry Went.

Happy birthday, Jerry.

Enjoy the day, Jerry.

Hope it's a good one.

Morning.

And we wish a happy birthday to our qualifier, Cindy Weigel.

Congratulations, Cindy.

Cindy, happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday.

Wish you a good birthday, both of you.

Enjoy your day.

You too.

Hope it's a great one.

And encourage you to get us more birthdays and anniversaries.

Yeah.

We take a look at who you share your birthdays and anniversaries.

John Krasinski is 46.

He's younger than me.

That's weird.

I don't want him to be younger than me.

Yeah.

Jack Ryan in those most recent TV shows.

But he did those.

He wrote and directed the quiet place movies.

Yeah.

Big hits, yeah.

Directed a couple of others as well.

But everybody knows him as Jim from the office.

That is where you know him.

There are, I cannot express how difficult it is, especially for an actor that has worked

previously in film or TV.

Even if you are a vet, you'll come on the set.

And you will have somebody that reminds you, okay, no staring at the camera, no looking

at the camera.

Right.

You get to a point where you just, it's muscle memory.

You're not even thinking about it.

You do different things.

It's a little similar, I think, to theater actors.

When you don't want to look at the audience or look above the audience.

Look at the tops of their heads or something.

Kind of teach us that with TV.

In fact, actually, I'm sorry, they tell us to look down below the TV.

Oh, it's a little different, a little different.

But either way.

John Krasinski's just organically natural way of looking at the camera, dead pan, or whatever.

I know it may not seem like a big move.

It's incredible.

It was comedic movement by him.

And it's so easy to overdo.

And it was so well done.

He's good.

See, I've heard from other actors for specifically John Hodgman who said that it ruined him.

Because he's on the daily show and he would talk to the camera all the time.

When he was on like the other TV, like Blacklist, he kept telling me, uh,

John, stop, stop looking at the camera.

Also, I love John Hodgman.

Shout out to him.

Yeah, that's he's awesome.

Big fan.

There is a handful of artists that I think really stand out as far as being the greatest crossover artists of all time.

Sure.

Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, many people that we have mentioned many times.

And then there is Snoop Dogg who is 54 today.

Okay.

Who is the modern equivalent of all those names I just mentioned.

Yes.

And if you think I'm wrong, go ahead and watch him on the voice later today.

Right.

Or him in some, what was that kids cartoon that he's on?

Oh, was that kids cartoon?

Oh, uh, uh, storybots.

Yeah.

It was in storybots.

I love that now because I think I've seen that episode.

Yeah.

I love the storybots.

This man was on literal death row at one, not death row, but on trial for murder at one point.

Right.

Yes.

Okay.

So let's, let's talk about it, right?

So we're talking from rap to, you know, lovable grandpa pop culture icon.

Right?

Like that transcends genre.

He's got a, uh, a best selling reggae album out, a best selling religious album.

He has like a number of different things along with a, a texting relationship with Martha Stewart.

Great stuff.

It's good for them.

In a billion years.

I've never, like 1992.

I was going to say 92.

We would have been like, you know, all these guys, iced tea, you know, ice cube.

If I told you in 1992 that iced tea was going to be on law and order.

Oh, my goodness.

The first female vice president and, uh, so many other first Kamala Harris is 61.

Yes.

Wow.

Happy birthday to her.

Happy birthday to her.

Happy birthday to her rocks.

Uh, that book is, I, I've, I've wanted to be, I've been hearing a lot about it.

Yeah, there's a lot of interesting stuff in there.

Oh, one of the most underrated and the best out overall actors in the game.

The man can do everything.

Vigo Mortensen is 67.

Sure.

Uh, since I was a little kid, there are a couple of characters in books.

Like a lot of us that I read.

No, I want to be that character.

I want to be Sherlock.

I want to be this person, reading Lord of the Rings, I want to be strider.

I want to be strider.

Exactly.

Exactly.

I want it to be strider.

Exactly.

And I also want it to be Sam Weiss.

But I want it to be strider.

Then I saw Vigo Mortensen.

I'm like, nope.

Nope.

Nope.

That's the one.

That's the one that she did.

The scene where he's pushing the big giant doors open is ultimately like one of my all-time

favorite scenes.

That's the one.

And he's such a good scene.

He is a remarkable person all the way around.

Yeah.

He's also an accomplished painter.

Mm-hmm.

And he's a poet.

And he's, I mean, like acting is almost a sideline for him because of all the other stuff

that he does.

It's like acting pays the bills.

Man.

Every agent that he's had is trying to get him to be a go-pop, if you will.

Yeah.

Especially after the Lord of the Rings movies and everything.

Absolutely.

He's pushed against that and just does works that he likes.

Well, he's making Lord of the Rings money still.

He doesn't need to do popular stuff.

He's making Lord of the Rings money still.

He doesn't need to do popular stuff.

He's making Lord of the Rings money still.

He doesn't need to do popular stuff.

He can do whatever he wants.

Must be nice.

Must be nice.

There are a handful of roles that I cannot recommend enough.

But history of violence is just an incredible acting tour to force by him and Ed Harris.

Playing just against each other off of each other and at the same time battling each other.

It's a very interesting role and a very interesting movie.

And his action scenes, and he has a scene where not to spoil anything, but he's basically

in his underwear.

And I cannot express how difficult that is to do, let alone half the other things he's

done in his career.

He's incredible.

Some people no longer with us.

Like the great Tom Petty born in the state in 1950.

Wow.

Great.

Great.

But I think we're going to do the great wide open.

Another one of those artists.

I don't know.

Great wide open.

Well said Seth.

No, I wanted to make sure that was heard.

Yes.

Well done.

Well done.

I don't know that you can label him.

I don't know where you put him.

No.

No, not at all.

You can play on basically any, I mean, other than country, you can put him on any form.

I just agree.

I just agree.

I feel like you would fit really well with an Americana bounce.

Yeah.

I could play him on Red Folk and Blue.

One of the greatest.

You could.

One of the greatest hitters of all time, Mickey Mantle born in the state in 1931.

The Mick.

The Mick.

How come he didn't have a better nickname?

Exactly.

Yes.

Come on, man.

It's insane.

Demazio had the Yankee Clipper, you know.

Yeah.

Those really great ones.

I mean.

They've been even just gone with the mantle.

It would have been better than the Mick.

I'm sorry.

I don't know.

Tell him about baseball.

No, you're not wrong.

You're not wrong though.

On the OG of horror, actors as far as it goes, Bell Legosi born in the state in 1882.

Yes.

Pass away in 1956.

Quite a long life.

Yes.

Yes, he did.

Boy, what a...

I mean, I just...

Again, like I do every time this year, I always go through the old Universal Horror movies

and I just went through Dracula again.

And I mean, how many performances on anything can you say that that's the first thing you

think of?

Well, Dracula is probably the most used property since that the 31...

Sure.

I mean, it's probably...

Dracula's probably into more movies, more books, more everything.

Right.

But when you say Dracula, who do you think of?

You think of Bell Legosi?

Every time.

Every time.

That's the first image.

The voice, the mannerisms, it's all Bell Legosi.

And it's the only performance that you've ever seen where it's all about the actor.

Like I love Gary Oldman.

Gary Oldman's performance of Dracula is unparalleled.

It was a great movie, yeah.

It's also with a ton of modern special effects, a ton of modern editing, a ton of modern

other things where Bell Legosi, it's just damn...

Him and...

And acting, yeah.

Just doing his job.

It's a classic for a reason.

And he's still known legendarily for a reason.

One of the masters of horror.

Don't know if it's common knowledge or not, but one of the other things that Bella is

known for is the biggest fear of every actor begins with...

It all begins with Bell Legosi and being tight cast.

Because Bell Legosi was a full actor.

And you've never really got the chance to show that.

Yeah.

No, because he got tight cast as Dracula.

And it's such a good job that it shot him in the foot.

A guy who could have been tight cast, but damn, pushed away from it.

You never put...

Nobody puts baby in a corner.

Jerry Orbock.

Sure.

Jerry Orbock points.

I wouldn't put Jerry Orbock in a corner.

Oh, Lenny Frisco in law and order.

Jerry Orbock.

Lumiere in Beauty and the Beast.

Lumiere.

Lumiere, thank you.

Lumiere in Beauty and Beast.

And so many other great performances.

But of course, 30 Dancing is one of the ones.

For many years, he was in the Fantastics.

For many, many years, he was on stage in the Fantastics.

Yeah.

I love law and order.

There have been so many great detectives on law and order.

And so many great combinations.

But there is nobody that will ever touch...

Nobody could deliver that line before the...

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

No, I'll give you that.

Jerry was the best.

Jerry was the best.

Sure, I'll give you that.

By far it away.

I'm out.

We'll come back and have some more fun.

We encourage you to make plans tomorrow to head on over to LKFA.

Join them at 221 Market Avenue.

Beautiful Port Edwards.

Back with more show.

I was looking in the lab at the age of light.

With my eyes behind any sight.

Welcome back, everybody.

Morning show here at WFHR.

Locally grown radio.

Laura set in James here with you.

Thanks for being here with us.

Got some fun stuff lined up for you.

Get into the top.

Take us to the top of the hour.

It's fall.

And as Laura mentioned earlier, TPing season.

In many areas of the country.

And Charmin has an interesting option here for people.

Okay.

Six years ago, Charmin debuted hilariously large rolls of toilet paper called forever rolls.

A, quote, regular roll of Charmin has up to 77 cheats.

But these had 1,700.

So they're like 22 rolls in one.

Uh-huh.

Obviously, they're way too big to fit into a normal dispenser.

So you'd need a special holder.

Which takes up bathroom real estate.

Nobody's willing to give up that.

No, but I bet it would fit perfectly in a backpack in the middle of the night.

Yes, these forever rolls were kind of a novelty subscription thing that came and went.

But now they're bringing it back and, quote, rolling out everywhere.

Oh, good.

Wow.

So forever rolls are now available nationwide online and in stores, including Walmart, Target, and Amazon.

Each roll is supposed to last two people up to a month.

And you can get a three pack for about $30 to $35.

Can you really not be bothered to change your toilet paper that often?

Like, is it really that?

It's such a hassle.

Laura, I mean, come on.

You got to take the little thing out there and roll the steps.

No, I get it.

Or those that are that struggle with this with their roommate or their partner or whoever.

You're going to struggle more.

This is, no, this is who this is for.

Oh, my God.

And I believe it's a way of like that.

Like you've been asking him, hey, change the roll when you're done.

Hey, change the roll when it's empty.

It's a way.

Finally, this is what you do when they finally won't listen anymore.

You get one of these to really bring the point home.

Or you just just break down and get a bidet or something like that.

It's just like, say I'm done with this.

We're not doing toilet paper anymore.

We'll just do this.

You need both.

Here's the thing.

I just got a bidet and it's damp, guys.

You still need toilet paper.

It's still used.

True, true.

But you probably use a little less.

That's fair.

They're also selling starter kits with 21 inch by 8 inch holder and two rolls for around 38 bucks.

Whoa.

Okay.

I'm sure it's a make of that.

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, this is funny.

So they've got.

Don't let's be real.

Come on, guys.

Avoid.

Avoid.

That's the image.

Come on.

Okay.

All right.

It looks like a roll of accounting tape is what it looks like.

All right.

A big roll of accounting tape.

I'm going to go back to what I mentioned in the first place, right?

It would fit perfectly in a backpack.

And that should be their target audience.

They're just trying to capitalize with the toilet paper roll.

Nobody's buying that.

Nobody's doing it.

It's for your all-star quarterback at your high school football team.

To take to their coach's house and do an entire tree with one roll.

That's what it's for.

Don't pretend it's not.

This is coming from the child of a high school football coach.

Okay.

That's good.

If you have this in your home, do me a favor and don't warn people about it before.

Hey, can I use your bathroom?

Yeah, just let them trip over your toilet paper roll.

Just let them walk in and they just see this.

Oh, yes.

I wonder if you're supposed to warn people about these things or not.

Okay.

20k.

It's a 21-inch tall toilet paper holder so that it can fit the whole thing.

And you get one of these.

I love it.

That's like at least a foot wide.

Ah, like there's got to be a foot diameter, at least.

It's all you're using the rest of your life.

Yeah.

Like I'll tell you that.

But I tell you what, you buy a three-pack and that will teepee your whole neighborhood.

I mean, and why just use it for that?

Seriously.

I mean, you could maybe write out your will on it.

You know, something like that.

You could write your will on it.

You know, any other court times?

I mean, seriously, while you're sitting there and you're thinking about it, you just write down.

You keep one of those bad boys in the car.

Many of us have thought about rewriting worn pieces.

Yeah, right.

You have enough perfect.

You have enough paper, you know.

I wonder if you could feed it into a typewriter.

Just let it wheel one and into the other.

I will.

The Wall Street returns on there.

I will say it's got to be difficult to come up with new ways to market toilet paper.

After all, you're right.

To be fair, you're right.

Also, toilet paper is one of those things that everybody needs.

Like, nope, not buying it.

We got to spice it up a little bit, I guess.

Yeah.

It was a foot wide roll of toilet paper.

Love it, love it, love it.

Residents of a California neighborhood have been worrying about, have been terrorized.

I mean, it don't mean to go from something silly to something serious, but this has been pretty hectic for these residents in the California area.

They are warning locals and people visiting the area to be aware of a very mean squirrel.

Sometimes.

Hey, it sent two people to the emergency room.

So, Joan Helbeck, a resident of Lucas Valley neighborhood in San Rafael, said she was taking her morning walk recently when the squirrel attacked her leg.

Oh, dear.

A quote, it clamped onto my leg and the tail was flying up here.

And I was like, get it off me, get it off me.

I didn't want it.

I didn't know what to do.

Another resident, Isabelle Campani, said to she and her daughter were attacked by the rambunctious road into while walking.

Campi ended up going to the ER for it.

Oh, my goodness.

Is there like, I wonder if it's territorial.

I don't know.

Isn't that avoided?

I have never seen like an aggressive squirrel.

I've been, you know, sometimes, you know, you walk by a tree and you hear that, you know, like they're yelling at you kind of thing.

But that's the most I've ever heard.

I've never heard a squirrel that's that aggressive.

It sounds like an angry infant to me.

That's what squirrels sound like.

And maybe my infants were just excessively angry.

I don't know.

It sounded like squirrels.

She's, the residents put up flyers for the tour of squirrels.

A text squirrel.

They'd say text squirrels.

This is not a joke.

The fly reads more than five people have been attacked by a very mean squirrel.

But they should call it an attack squirrel.

Come on.

You know it's not a joke when they have to say this isn't a joke on the warning sign.

Oh, good showing up.

Oh, Bruce.

No, I mean, yeah.

Look at that.

Oh, man.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

A squirrel.

It's not a cool one or two.

I was trying to find the squirrel.

You think it's rabid?

What's going on with this squirrel?

I don't know.

It's just, it's just had enough and won't take, can't take anymore.

The local DNR has been notified and they are in the work, help trying to help as best as they can.

Right.

But the, I think part of the issue here is this people taking this seriously.

I mean, the flyer that they have.

God, that's not a real picture of that squirrel.

I wouldn't believe that.

No, because it's like a leaking squirrel.

Because that's just like a regular squirrel picture that you can find for free otherwise.

Exactly.

Someone could get funded online.

If it was an actual picture of this actual squirrel.

How can you be aware of squirrel if it's not the squirrel pictured?

It's right.

And how can you figure out which squirrel it is?

I bet there's a dozen of those guys in the neighborhood.

That's where I wanted to go with this.

Are they going to catch all the squirrels and filter them out?

What are the, ah, this one's angry.

It's the same squirrel doing all this.

Like I, I wonder if it's just multiple like the sea, you know, the same breed.

Oh, so you're saying it's a conspiracy?

It's a conspiracy.

It's, it's a cult.

It's a squirrel cult.

The squirrel cult.

Yeah.

They're trying to take down the people.

You can't blame them.

And you know what?

Well done squirrels.

Yeah, you know what?

Well done.

Points to you.

By annoying two people.

Yeah.

You've, you've done well.

Points to you.

Yes.

In this, in the squirrel kingdom, that has got to be big.

They've got to be huge.

Maybe it was a dare.

Maybe it was a dare.

Yeah.

You think that's a dare.

Yeah.

It was definitely a dare.

It was definitely all the squirrels are saying, yeah, it's the teenagers.

Yeah.

That you want to do that.

We'll take it.

We'll take it.

We'll take it.

We'll take it.

We'll take it.

We'll take it.

Welcome back everybody.

Morning show here at WFHR, locally grown radio.

In honor of Bella playing little love from Dracula there.

Yes.

Bella LaGosis dead.

See it's been playing in my head ever since we mentioned him.

Aha.

We Laura, Seth and James here with you, thanks for joining us.

Everybody got a couple of stories to take us to the top of the hour.

Keep in mind, top of the 10 o'clock.

We'll kick off with the kitchen's open.

Beth, the hotel.

Me going to join us.

We're looking forward to that.

Very cool.

We've got a bunch of fun stuff for us lined up in the 10 o'clock.

Right now, the company, there's a lawsuit going on right now that I wanted to dive into.

Okay.

You've probably dealt with squeaky shoes at some point.

Usually it's just new shoes on a certain type of flooring.

You know, if you were a kid and you got the chance to do this, trying them out first.

And you're jumping, jumping.

Yeah.

Missing if you can move in them and everything.

That's right.

Well, the Swiss shoe company on has a line of footwear called clouds.

They have hollow pods on the sole that are supposed to make it feel like you're walking on clouds.

But they're also very loud, which is very unlike clouds.

People have complained about how they make a squeaky sound when you walk on them that never goes away.

And it's a new issue.

People are light.

I've been talking about it for over a year.

So it's not a new issue.

But now there's a classic at class action lawsuit.

Because people think it's a defect for expensive shoes like clouds.

Are you for real?

More than 10 styles have been mentioned in the lawsuit.

The shoes typically cost anywhere between 140 to 180 dollars.

Okay.

The company has a comment on the lawsuit, but they have denied warranty claims related to the issue,

either because they feel like it falls under quote normal fear wear and tear.

Yeah.

Or because they don't believe it's a defect.

Right.

They aren't the only company that has faced a company complaints about squeaky shoes.

Another brand, Brooks Sports, has said that the issue is often caused by air moisture

trapped under the insoles within the shoes.

They recommend removing the insoles.

Okay.

Interesting.

Are those the root?

No, those aren't ruse now.

So are they squeaking against the floor?

Are they squeaking against the meat of the people wearing them?

That's a good question.

In which case, where are socks you dirty animals?

I'm going to try to play a little bit of this video for you to try to give everybody

a good example of this.

Like you better be extreme.

Oh, let's see.

Oh, of course.

I hear nothing.

Yeah, because there we go.

They're playing music.

No, no, that's not the right one.

No.

I thought I had tick-tock.

Oh, there we go.

Oh, there we go.

Yeah.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Those are ugly shoes.

Okay.

Yeah.

They're squeaky.

But I've had shoes that are squeaky like that too.

I just got to wear them for a little while.

Get some dirt like promises instead of the air.

I say lean into it.

I say lean into it.

I say lean into it.

I pay $140 for shoes.

I'm going to make it work.

Yeah.

You better believe it, man.

No, I would literally just rub dirt in them and hope for the best.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Because I mean, because like I've had squeaky shoes.

And when they're new, they're at their squeakyest.

That's just kind of life, right?

Breaking in, breaking in the shoes.

Yeah.

Breaking in the shoes.

Unless it's something on the bottom of the shoes that's certain.

Yeah, you know, it's flooring that you squeak on.

Or if it's an internal squeaking, right?

And I'm wearing socks.

It's internally squeaking.

That's on them.

Does anybody out there have a go-to way of breaking in their shoes?

Oh.

No.

Because I've never cared that much to do it.

No, I don't think so.

Yeah, just wear them.

Because I have to wear inserts in my shoes.

Yeah.

So I have to, you know, I have to check it though in there.

So that kind of breaks it in a little bit for you, actually.

I need arch supports.

And so my shoes are kind of all ways broken in.

Yeah.

Because I'll just move my broken in.

Yeah, exactly.

Exactly.

So nobody does this.

It's shoe people.

No, shoe people do this.

And you are shoe people.

Seth and I are not shoe people.

No, I'm not.

Because I mean, if I'm a load on this, that's fine.

I'm used to that.

You just happen to be the minority amongst not shoe people.

Well, it's not just you guys.

I'm thinking about it.

I'm thinking about it.

And I'm thinking about it.

I'm like, I don't know anybody over the age of 10 that is really for cared about breaking in their shoes.

That's not true.

I know.

I know Mel has a method.

I just don't know what it is.

Oh, I'll see.

You're not alone.

I'm not positive that Alyssa has a method for breaking in shoes.

I just don't know it because once again, I don't care.

I almost guarantee that as soon as Melissa finds out we have that in common, those shoe will change that.

No, she's going to be sure that her method is better than yours.

No, it's Melissa.

It's probably it is.

It probably deals with like leather polish and something like that.

It's probably got weights and weights.

She's got weight protein or something.
