I'm the best listener of Radio.
We are going to have a good show today. We're going to sound good because we've got our
two main producers here. So, yeah, the show has to sound good, right? See what I've
got there? That works. Say that to my headphones. That's why we will have some fun this morning
with the LKFA birthday anniversary club. Got that coming up for us in a little bit. We've
got a study about eye drops and I've been dying to get into for what is this? Like a month
now? Yeah, September 16th this came out. I mean, dying to talk to you to about it.
Either you think too much about eye drops or you don't think about them enough and I'm
really not sure where I stand on this divide. You might know after the second. You'll
figure it out. Oh, wow, that's cool. Stay tuned. We got five things to look forward to.
In November, we'll dive into that one as well. And then we got a bunch kicked off going
on in the 10 o'clock hour. Of course, it's a Monday. We'll be joined by Beth and our
friends from the hotel me with the kitchen's open. Indeed. Yes. And after that, we'll
get a monthly veterans update from our friend Tom Heiser. Yes, indeed. Looking forward
to that. Because his Lord just pointed out it's November. Oh, my God. It's November
already. It's insane. We will hang on the Halloween for one more day as we get into a
little bit of celebrity news with Halloween costumes and some fun with that. I got all
that coming up for you. And it's a lot. It's live radio. Who knows what can happen?
Yeah. I want to give away some tickets too. That's right. I want to give away some tickets
to the do-out project. Yeah. Oh, that's coming up on Thursday. Yes. Awesome. Looking forward
to that. We're going to do our schedule. Some good stories of the day and plenty of other
things. But we begin, of course, with daylight savings time. Oh, no. All right. Of course.
We have a touch on it. We are a morning show. We have to do these. I want to start with
the eye drops. It sure has been morning for a long time. Most Americans are over the
time changing madness. But there is still some arguments, some debate over this. And
it probably will never end as long as we have it. I do find it interesting to see how other
countries do this or if they don't. Yeah. That would be interesting, actually. I actually
think it's really optimistic of you to think the fight will end when we no longer have
daylight savings. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I don't. Oh, no. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
I think it'll just switch over again. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. I actually liked it when we
did that. It's never going to stop. Never. And there's something about that that I know
can be a little bit frustrating a little bit of like a rock in your shoe kind of feeling.
There's also a part of it that reminds me of that's the point of this country. Right.
We're not all supposed to agree. That's right. We're not all supposed to just follow one
voice and one feeling. That's why it's right, man. So while it might be frustrating sometimes
that we don't agree on silly things or sometimes heavier things, that's the point that's
America. There's nothing wrong with having a conversation about a thing that you can
be charged about, right? Yeah. Feelings about, but really at the end of the day are harmless.
Right. Those are healthy good conversations to have. According to a recent poll, 54% of Americans
would love to see the clock changing done away with for good. 40% want to keep it. But according
to reports, supporting the time changes is at its lowest level. It's ever been in history. Oh,
wow. That's interesting. Okay. This has never been less of an issue than it is now. Okay.
Well, the farther we move away from agrarian society, yeah, because that was the main point.
Yep. That was the argument anyway. In a poll three weeks ago, only 12% support the
current clock changing system. A few years ago, it seemed like the government was going
to put it a stop to it completely because they needed to get your mind off of other things.
Mostly because there was a little bit of support here and there, but it wasn't really
anything that I think I don't know. It's hard to get to bent out of shape about it because
it didn't really seem like it was ever really going to build steam. Yeah, exactly. There
are several bills kicking around Congress, but right. They'd have to go to work. Yeah,
they actually have to do stuff first. They don't do anything. That's hard. Congress doesn't
do anything. Why? That's silly. For what it's worth. Keep getting paid for no work. Yeah,
telling you name, you know, set the like a lot of sports fans. We will joke all the time,
you know, Mama's have your kids grow up to be left-handed pictures. It's in great living.
You can live it to 20 years. Yeah, you can pitch forever, right? No, I had it all wrong.
Grow up to be politicians. There you go. You get paid to do nothing, basically. For now.
And there's no criteria. There's no criteria. No, not at all. You don't even need a high school
diploma. You don't even know. You just need to know the three branches of government. That's
it. That's all you got to do. So for what it's worth, most of the holdouts are clinging to the
joy of changing clocks in the middle of the night twice a year either. It's just something that
we've kind of rolled with. We kind of get the understand that it's something that is bigger than us.
Yeah, right. The issue is whether the permanent time would be the later summer hours or the
earlier winter standard time hours. Also, you can't really have every state choose its own time
because that would just be a gigantic coaster. Oh my gosh, that would be a mess. No. But that's
what will happen if you get rid of this, right? Like there's no denying that. Even if it's just two
or three of the 50 states in the union here, a couple are going to do this again, go back to where
I started everything. Exactly. America, the country or not the country. Generally, the public is
divided in the latest poll, 56% of Americans favor year round daylight savings time, summer hours,
while 42% prefer standard time. So even if we agreed to, okay, we're done with daylight saving
time. Then the real debate begins. Oh my gosh, you're not wrong. There isn't even whether we
should keep it or not. It's which way we should go. Which time do we keep? And it's pretty close.
Yeah. Do you think they go that like the most mid time zone of the country, right? They
still have to deal with it. But to either side, they're losing. The other side is gaining. And
that's what we do. That's not a bad idea, actually. That's compromise. Yeah, I got a brain
clown around up there. For everything that we're talking about here, I cannot help so much of
think of Illinois in many ways where Illinois is such a two state state. Yeah. You have northern
Illinois that is very different than southern Illinois. Right. Exactly. Now there's arguments,
there's debate. There's there's, you know, bad jokes made by both sides and all these things.
But at the end of the day, they both realize we're not a state without each other. No.
We need both to make this state work. That's what we're talking about here. That's where we're at
for the country. Country wise thing. Yeah. Exactly. We can't go with one set time that would hurt our
ag industry anymore that we can go with another set time that would hurt our business industry.
Yeah. We need each other. We need both. Yeah. And guess what, everybody? We've been doing this
a long time. We kind of need daylight savings time. We kind of do. I'm not saying we need it because
of the old school reasons that we did. Right. I think we need it because it gives us some balance
because otherwise it's chaos. All 50 states are going to be deciding their own time. Right.
There needs to be legislation in place. Right. Regardless of what it is, there needs to be
legislation. You're right about that. But I think that it's maybe something that can be
intelligently discussed. If politicians could just choose not to make it political. I was right
with you up until that part. Yeah. Because I have no faith in their ability to do that. Yes. I have
no, I have no, I also don't have a whole lot of faith anymore in our politicians. And not only
are they going to do what we, what we ask them to. Right. As their, as their bosses. Because we need
to be reminded of this, especially with this week in particular. Yeah. That we are the bosses
here. We are in charge of them. They answer to us. Not the other way around. Right. When it also
comes to that, it's also the matter of, well, I can't trust said politician to necessarily
like not answer to the people in his pocket. Right. Like he's got, he's got big coal in his pocket.
And so he, I chose one that probably isn't a factor anymore. You got to feel better.
More than you know, my friend. More than you know. Don't you discredit coal. I didn't mean to,
but I was trying to pick an industry that I, that's good. No, it's perfect. It's perfect. I think
it's safe. It's not really. But you know what I mean? There isn't any, there's somebody who is
going to be going into the argument into the fight with a motive that is not ours, that is not
their bosses, but the people putting money in their pocket. Right. Right. I think we should do that
thing that, that, you know, we hate to see it like with a, like a, like a public servant. Okay.
Just like a police officer or a firefighter or just, you know, someone working in city government
like that. When someone comes up and says, you know, I pay your salary, that thing. Yeah.
We should use that on politicians and we should use it all the time. I'm your boss. Like you said,
tell them, I'm your boss. And I pay your salary. You need to do what we want you to do. Not the
other way around, friend. Yeah. Forget about the people and money in your pocket. They didn't vote
for you. We did. Yeah. Like we are your country. They're not paying your salary. We are, we are in
charge. We, the people, we are in charge. And again, this week of all weeks, we need to remember
that. Well, and at this point, we're the last line of defense. Yeah. That's right. It has fallen
onto us. We got to do it. Here's the, the other, the only thing about this whole thing that
really I come back to and there's a lot of logical things. There's a lot of financial as well as
just, you know, day to day routine things that are important about daylight saving time and all that.
But the thing that I, I am most frustrated about when it comes to this time change is that after
48 years, I'm still not used to it. No, it sucks every time. I can't figure out Sunday morning
why I'm so darn tired while dragging it. Why it feels so much later than it is. And I still get,
you know, minor panic attacks the first time I look at the microwave clock. Oh, no, it's wrong.
Oh, wait. This morning, I thought it was an hour late for work this morning. I was so angry at
myself. Not that I was late car clock. Yes. I still haven't changed mine yet. I still haven't
changed mine yet. I can't figure it out. I'm sorry. I am mad and to buy it. I'm so much
screened. It got real easy real fast. Well, you're, you're good. You're good. I've had this
Jeep what three almost four years now. Yeah. Can I figure the darn clock out? It's, it's, it's,
it is, it is the bane of all of my existence when I get in that Jeep like twice a year. I'm okay.
Like it's on time. That's usually how it works. Yeah. Yes. Even a stop clock. It's,
et cetera, et cetera. Yeah. Yeah. There are time changes. Right. It's not right.
I mean, remember when we had VCRs? Oh, that was a nightmare. Oh, my God. We had to review those.
Oh, my gosh. Update the roof. Yeah. There aren't many moments in my life where I'm a,
I am that typical man. Let me take a look at this. I got this with VCRs when I was a kid.
When I was a kid in my house, my dad, my mom, okay, they couldn't figure it out. I felt like
such a big shot. Yeah. So how on earth? Let me, let me take a look at this. How on earth can you
figure out a VCR clock and not your cars clock? Man, what's up? What's going on with that again?
Bane of my existence. You're so right. You're a hundred percent right. Just one clicked and one
did. It's driving me crazy that I have not been able to figure that out. I'm sensing a pattern.
I wanted to show you guys this one. I thought this would be a fun one to wait to wrap up
the. Oh, I missed the headline. What are we doing? Opening monologue here. If this will open for me,
come on. No, if it's going to or not. But they, a British farm celebrated the life of legendary
rock singer Ozzy Osborne by breaking Guinness World Records with a massive squash mosaic in the
musician's image. Oh, that is cool. No, this is really cool. So they built it on a hillside. So
they're just kind of like stacking the squashes and pukets of different colors. Yep.
And they're resting on each other as they go up. Like it's really cool. Yeah, jinks. They really,
they really map this out. They did. They got the chalk outline there and we, you know, I mean,
yeah, they really planned it. Well, oh, and they put the bats in there. Oh, the bats. Yes.
Sunnyfield's farm in Southampton, England arranged hundreds of pumpkins and squashes into an
image of the Prince of Darkness measuring 2,281 square feet. That is very cool. Can you email me that
one so I can include it in the show notes? Yeah. And you guys can check it out too.
The mosaic was unveiled at a ceremony attended by Ozzy Osborne's wife Sharon and daughter Kelly.
Oh, good. How cool they showed up for this. That they showed up for that. How cool.
I mean, that took a lot of people and a lot of planning to get that done. And a lot of squash.
And that is a lot of squash. The gourds were in demand. Oh, man, lots of crates.
I wonder how long they they took to just like map it out. Yeah,
plan it to make sure it's right. Yeah, and it's a pretty good likeness. It's a pretty darn good
life. Yeah, pretty good. Look, pretty good. That's that was pretty cool. And I,
the story was cool alone to me. And then at the end, did they just kind of throw in there
that Sharon and Kelly, by the way, Sharon and Kelly were there. How cool that is. Like,
they'd anybody in the world would have understood it. They'd go to that. Yeah, exactly. Me too.
Yeah. We'll take a quick time out. We'll come back with the LKF Abertian
anniversary club at his Laura Seth and James here on the morning show.
It's time to do some celebrating with our good friends over at LKF A with the Berthian
anniversary club. We encourage you tomorrow to treat yourself at 221 Market Avenue and

pretty darn good to me. Yes, it does. I think I got some other good stuff on over there.
And of course, their social media also has just some fun stuff in there. There's a
Stonehenge meme that you have to see. Yeah, probably. Oh goodness. There's a bunch of great stuff

Thank your wife who got that in for you. She misses Stuart Riley. She did ask me to say that.
So I want to make sure that I got that in there. But Stuart, very good. You're our qualifier.
Let's go ahead and take a look at who you share your birthdays and anniversaries with,
taking a look at our celebrity list. Kendall Jenner is 30. That kind of seems that kind of
seems surprising to me a little bit. Yeah. I forget how young she is sometimes. Yeah. Yeah.
She was so young. She was so young. Yeah. Colin Kaepernick is 38. That sounds right.
From NFL quarterback has done a lot of other things since he leaving the field since being
well, blackballed. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. There's no question about it. Yeah.
Dolph Lundgren is 68. Ivan Drago, Rocky IV, Creed II, expendable movies,
he-man, Dolph Lundgren. Man, what an interesting career that man has had. What an interesting
career. That was very well said. For someone from Scandinavian countries, you know,
English not his first language and that sort of thing. If you are a fan of these scars guards,
like I am, you need to thank Dolph Lundgren. That's right. He paved the way for almost everyone.
For a long time, Italians could not get roles. Irishmen would play Italians in many different
things. After a while, Italians started getting roles to play Native Americans.
They weren't even playing Italians in everything. Eventually, they started to do this a little
bit more with other creeds in particular Scandinavians, where you did not, you had a huge obviously
influx of them in this country, but you didn't have a lot of them being given acting opportunities,
especially if you were from there and you had any kind of accent or anything.
Very different country, but look at Arnold Schwarzenegger's early career, being from Austria and
everything. But Dolph Lundgren had charisma. He had something about him that
Sylvester Stallone, in particular, really enjoyed him. He was into that.
Yes, and he was like, this is the guy. And he had Stallone fought for him to get cast
as a Vandrago. I cannot picture anybody else as that character.
No, you couldn't. And it's crazy to talk about.
And I think it's noteworthy. They didn't have to do any of this because the man's a literal
genius. Like he, in his, in his whole country. He's a rocket scientist. He's an actual rocket scientist.
I love that. It's very similar to me to Steve Young. Steve Young finished
number one in his class as an attorney. He didn't have to get into football.
No, he's got a law school. Yeah, love what you do. Phil Sims is 70, New York
Giants quarterbacks. Yeah, that's just played in the long time commentator too on CBS.
Yeah, I wonder how many people think of him as a commentator before a player. We remember him
as a player. I wonder what a Super Bowl. Yeah. Adam Ant is 71. Oh, fantastic.
His goody two shoes are 40. Nice, nice. He was one of my first impressions.
I'm not even going to shy away from that. I could see that. It tracks, doesn't it?
He was the poster boy for the new romantic movement, really, which a very short-lived movement,
by the way. But it was too bad. It had its moment. It did have its time. It did. It did.
Wisconsin's own, Central Wisconsin's own, Kathy Kinney is 71. Yeah, Mimi.
Mimi on the Drew Carey Show, a wonderful person, and also somebody who has avoided
director's playhouse. I mean, I've wanted to get her off for years. Certainly local tie-ins.
With that also much respect, lover. Steven's point native, one I mentioned that as well.
And somebody who, you know, that character that she played, it's got her so tight cast,
and unfortunately, she has to hide behind all this makeup. She's pretty. Yeah,
that's a pretty woman right there. That's not that that matters here or there.
No, because it's the character, yeah. Just feel like as of her character, I feel like it's
no worthy. And strong actor. Yes. Strong actor. Well, that was, she was so good as Mimi. That was why
it was, yeah, that's probably one of her problems. She was too good at it. Is that show as popular
without her? No. Well, and to be fair, you know, looking at the cast of the Drew Carey Show,
Mimi's the character I would have wanted to play. I mean, and she was a one-off character in the
pilot episode. Yeah. And the response was so big that they just like, nope, you're a member of
the cast now, which is so cool. I think one of the greatest compliments to an actor is when
that happens. Chris Pratt had happened to with Parks and Rex. His character was supposed to be
done after the pilot and they kept bringing him back and things like I cannot think of many
things that would make me feel better as an actor. Absolutely. I would, I would rather have that
happen than when in the ward any day. It's a huge compliment. It is. Yeah. Congratulations to her.
She's having a great career, I think. And she ain't going nowhere. I know she's 71, but she
ain't going nowhere. She's still working. Dennis Miller is 72. Oh gosh.
Dennis Miller, what's the outbreak dude? I can't even, I love your Dennis Miller.
No, but you didn't need words. That was perfect. It's great. You didn't, because it's just
gibberish. I only feel bad for the audience that they don't get to see the head movements.
I know. I was doing the head movements there too. You can't help it. I want to do both of these
together. Dennis Miller is 72. Rose Ann Barr is 73. Wow. Oh boy. They're the audience. Yeah.
Nicely done. And they both had some controversies in their careers. So yeah, we could go with
controversial. You know, it's true, you know, but both made big impacts with their lives and
their careers. In the same decades. And with both of them being in their 70s and everything,
I feel like I know for me, if I was one of these individuals, I would want the good and the
bad brought up. Rose Ann's done some horrible things. Her national anthem is literally the worst
you'll ever see, hopefully, hopefully it never gets worse than her. Nobody better top her, please.
She bet on herself. She pitched a show idea that nobody in today's day and age would never
get in May. No. And and and made it run for for over almost exactly good. It was so good.
They brought it back. And it was real and it was relatable, especially to people here in the Midwest.
And it was so real when when we needed it the most, a show that wasn't nothing against nothing
against the old shows like Ozzie and Harry or any of these things, but these shows that try to
give you this idea of a perfect family when there's never been a perfect family in American history.
Like she modernized it. Yeah. Yeah. And you can't take that away from her.
No. Dennis Miller made weakened update cool. Yes, he did.
Dennis Miller did jokes that nobody else was willing to jude, you know, on prime time,
let alone at late night TV. He was an integral writer on that show and elevated weakened update
to where it is now that I love where the show is now and stuff. Both of them. Dennis Miller's
had some plenty, you know, controversies too and everything. He took a chance I'd do a Monday
and a football and a blow up in his face, but he tried. Yeah, he tried. And then he had that
very long standing show in HBO, you know, that one multiple writing awards. And I know that because
they always beat mystery science theater. Yeah. Every year it was Dennis Miller. Dang it.
It was Dennis Miller. There's good. There's bad with both of these individuals on the
birthday. I feel like it's fair to say with. Happy birthday. Yep. Let's see here. May have nice
nice. I feel so bad for this. Michael Duke caucus is 92. All right.
Wow. I didn't even know he was delighted either. Oh my gosh. I don't know what I feel
worse about that or the fact that every single time we all have the same image pop up in our head
of Michael Duke caucus and being photographed wearing that army helmet in that tank. It was supposed
to bad move, Michael. He was ahead in the or I believe he was right there or right ahead in the
polls. And it was supposed to jumpstart him and it could not have gone worse. Yeah,
blown up more in his face. Yeah. Let's see here. And one of the original action stars Charles
Bronson born in this day 1921 man. Death Wish. The dirty dozen magnificent seven. Like if you need
in the action movie, you call Charles Bronson. That's that you were not going to have an action.
He did a lot of like TV in the 50s in the 60s. He was in several episodes of this Twilight
Zone. And it was it's fun to watch him like early in his career before he became the the guy
Charles Bronson. You know, it's nothing against Clint Eastwood. But for everything that I thought
Clint Eastwood got credit for, I felt like Charles Bronson should have gotten just as much,
just as much credit. If you're looking for that type of that dirty Harry, that kind of guy that
they could do that. Charles Bronson could do that. I tell you all that. That is going to do it for
a birthday and anniversary club. We'll be back with more show coming up right here at
WFHR. Welcome back everybody. Morning show here at WFHR locally grown radio. Laura set
in James Hanging Out with you. Thanks for hanging out with us. Good to have the bumpers back.
Nice work. Nicely done by you. Appreciate that. And certainly appreciated the October bumpers,
the Halloween bumpers we had. That was a lot of fun. That's always fun. We're about to dive into
November before we do. I do want to wrap up a little bit of notes on October. Congratulations to
this team on the Halloween special. Everybody's great work. Seth in particular. Welcome. Oh, I love
doing it. You guys do a great job. It's an awesome fun. Be on and look out for more specials as
the holidays go on and everything. Oh yeah. We decide to drive ourselves crazy with more work.
Because we never learn. We never learn. We enjoy the creating so much. That's true. That we burden
ourselves with it. Gigantic. Thank you to all of our sponsors out there. Oh yes. Do all these
things. From the amount of sponsors that you're very cool. That's great. I know that I didn't
I don't think any of us had as many trick or treaters as we would have liked. But it was great
to see the trick or treaters out there. Oh, you parents out there getting them out there and
everything. And of course, as we let go of October bumpers and October, we get ready for November.
We have five things to look forward to in November. Delay saving time ends. So we gain an extra
hour of sleep. A lot of people were excited about that. Some of us didn't matter. You can. Yeah,
you can. Right. Yeah. I mean, sleep is the bathroom. I have things that we keep ourselves busy
with in the early morning. Yeah. In sports, of course, we had the World Series just wrap up with
an incredible game seven. We'll talk about that. I'm amazing. Yeah. And of course, all the other
sports are going on. NBA season is just getting underway. NHL, MLS playoffs are going on right
now. And of course, football, college, and pros happening. How can soccer have playoffs when they
play all the time? Yeah, I don't know because they never stop. There's no off season. I even tried
to pay attention to soccer. I can't. Yeah, it's very confusing now to us anyway. Yeah. A few big
movies are hitting a few movie sequels are hitting the theaters. I know my dad's excited about
now you see me now you don't on the 14th. He's a fan of those movies. Okay. Wicked for good. The
sequel to the wicked movie comes out on the 21st and there's a Zootopia 2 on the 26th. That's
right. I forgot about that one. Yeah. Interesting out of those three to me. I believe Jason Bateman's
in that one. Yeah, I love the Zootopia. Oh, yeah, he does. He's the Fox, the voice of the Fox. Yeah,
that's right. I just caught his voice. And then he was like, oh, no, it was the first one. Yeah.
And let's take a call. Good morning, you're on the show.
Hey, good morning. I'm for one that hopes that they never ever change the daily savings times
for eight years right now. All right. Hmm. I can live with that a little bit of our discovery.
We're gonna change this over during the winter time. If it was if it was the daily savings time,
it would be dark on at 830. Yeah, it'd be really dark all the time when our little kids are out on
a street going to school. Yeah. Yeah. It's fair point. Sometimes it would be better time all time.
We would lose a couple hours of daylight in the morning. Yeah. So I could get up at four o'clock
in the morning. Just enjoy your sun. I'm wearing it. Yeah. It says pretty good argument. I like that.
And honestly, where where is the problem here? Yeah. It's it's it's an inconvenience for some in some
ways. It can be annoying. But it's some of these twice a year. Yeah. I mean, yeah. And I think you
adjust in like a week. Yeah. Yeah. It's true. Yeah. It's it's not that different than, you know,
a time change when you're traveling. Yeah. That's something along those lines and everything.
I'm with you, sir. I'm with you. That was one of the things about a hundred and eight dollars
catchers and pictures. Yes. Yes. Well done. Well done. Look like a true baseball fan. Yes.
We appreciate you, man. Have a great morning. That my dad said a similar thing. Yes.
After the World Series games added and now it's like, oh, the first thing he was thinking February
is just around the corner. His team didn't win. So he was like, okay, the next look in the next
season. Some others you might be on your radar. There's the historic drama. Numer Nuremberg
Nuremberg on the seventh. I'll learn to say it by then. Yeah. The action comedy play date
hits November prime on the 12th and the new adaptation of the running man will be released
on the 14th. You know that because you've seen probably a billion trailers. I was going to say
that that's never that's actually not a very good sign. But boy, kid, how can you how can you
best the campy goodness that is the original running man? You can't. I mean, the cast alone
in that film was so good. Yeah. I mean, I love that movie. I remember watching it several times
when I was a kid. It was kind of for like the forgotten Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. But it is so
fun. Who's the best in the New York? Oh, my gosh. You got what's his name that the new.
Hang on, I'm looking it up. It's actually got it. It's got a pretty big cast. Okay, Glenn Powell.
Yeah, Glenn Powell starts. Okay, that makes sense. Amelia Jones, Daniel Ezra. Let me see. Lee
Pace is in it. Oh, Michael Sarah is in it. I can tell you Lee Pace will be a villain. That's
hope is in it. Nice. Yeah, yeah, it's got a good feeling. Sean Hayes got up. Yeah, Sean Hayes. Yeah,
it's weird character in it. I'm police. Oh, William H. Macy. Yeah. Oh, who's playing the game show host
a pleb, a dingo guy. Oh, he's okay. He looks good in the two. Oh, yeah, Tom. Here's the problem.
Like, you can make it better. You can do better. I do a better running man. But, you know, with
special effects, all these things. Sure. But what you're hitting on their set is the thing that
they're missing about these 90s movies that you can't remake. You can't bring us back to that time.
There was a time where you could still get away with a lot of the 80s humor and 80s action,
but you had a better budget to them. Right. Right. And I made gigantic Bruce Willis is my number two
action star of all times. I love, love, love, Sylvester Stallone. But there was nobody like Arnold
in those particular movies. Arnold, whether it's that, it's predator, it's total recall. Like,
Arnold, Arnold, Arnold, like, he's the only one that could do those kind of movies. And I love Glen
Polley. I think he's a really good actor. He doesn't have that same kind of, he's not Arnold
Schwarzenegger. He's got charm for days, Glen Polley. He probably has more charm than Arnold Schwarzenegger,
but the same type of charm, not that same type of charm that could get away with that kind of
like action comedy. I mean, they have the the fantastic inside joke where he's getting ready to go
and he says, I'll be back, which was famous for tournaments, but it's Richard Dawson's reply to
that, which is even better only in a rerun, which is fantastic. It's one of the best lines in an
action movie ever delivered in Richard Dawson as that again, casting, having Richard Dawson in that
last day. So many generations growing up. Yeah. Just even sure. I mean, I love that movie. So
awesome. Anyway, on TV, the fifth and final season of Stranger Things hits Netflix on the 26 new
episodes of Sesame Street are also coming to Netflix on the 10th. Okay. It's so good to say that.
Right after Stranger Things. I like that. I mean, it's not it's not it's not PBS. It's not what it
used to be. So I hope it's good. I worry about it. That's all the secret lives of Mormon wives
comes out on the 13th. Yeah, that sounds right. I had to double check what that that's that's a
nice rhyme though. The secret lives of Mormon wives. It's the it's a reality show. It's the whole
reason why they came up with it is because it's right. It's a great title and now we have to put a
shoreline. Well, because you know, they do the real housewives of wherever every town and these
ones are specific. Yeah. Not being an adult at all. I was up at two in the morning watching the
newest episode of the Simpsons in South Park and the Simpsons. They've done this thing for years where
they have like fake TV shows or whatever. I don't know if I've ever seen one that I really wanted
to watch though. Golden Retriever Bachelor. Yes. I kind of like the idea of that. I kind of like the
idea of like you know what I said this before. I think that humane societies need to have reality
shows. Oh, there you go. There's some nice awareness there. Yeah. I watch that. I think it would
bring awareness. I think I bring awareness to what is really needed in caring for an adorable
critter that needs a home. There you go. Come on. That's a win-win win. Mike get more animals adopted.
Yeah, there you go. The 2025 Rockwell Hall of Fame in action ceremony will be held on November 8th
and will stream live on Disney Plus and the 59th Annual CMA Awards will air live on ABC on the 19th
and of course the holidays. Big ones are Veterans Day on the 11th and Thanksgiving on the 27th.
Nice. There are a couple of other ones like today is National Sandwich Day. And I just say it
that way because my dad does. Okay, so it's not official. All right. Sandwich Day. I couldn't help
myself there. I did not mean to do that. But fine. I will grill myself a cheese. Oh,
sandwich. So go ahead and give us your favorite sandwich. Your go-to sandwich. Whatever it might be.
Let us know. We'd love to hear from you through the text line or calling up everybody 715-424-2600.
Do you use the Civic Media app? It's cool outside. Have soup and a grilled cheese. It's what you want.
Oh, there you go. Comfort food. Tweet you want. Tweet your body wants. Yeah. You can do it with any soup.
That's right. National Happy Hour Day is the 12th. The 13th is World Kindness Day. Oh,
and of course Black Friday is the 28th. I don't. I'm sure is. I can't imagine that that's going to be
a thing much longer. Like I'm not saying that they're going to have a lot of sales. But as far as
like it's becoming less and less a thing. Right. Nobody is risking their lives for Black Friday
anymore. They're buying things online. All the deals happen like around it, too. Not even
on Black Friday. Yeah, because they're doing it all weekend, right? So all the way to what do they
call it Monday? Cyber Monday. Cyber Monday. Cyber Monday. So like it's Black weekend. And then
Cyber Monday. I agree with we're not falling for the trap anymore. I agree with Laura. If there's no
like palpable sense of danger when you're out there, then what's the point? That's not what I said.
Oh, it's not? Oh, okay. But like you're here. I don't. We will be right back after this break
here on the morning. So one, two, three o'clock, four o'clock rock, five, six, seven o'clock,
eight o'clock rock, nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock rock. We're going to rock around
two o'clock tonight. Welcome back everyone. Morning show here at WFHR, locally grown radio. Laura
Seth and James hanging out with you. We're going to take you right to the top of the hour.
Ten o'clock hours got some great features to it. Well, of course, kick things off with the
kitchen's open. Beth will join us. Thanks to our friends at the hotel meet. And after that,
we're going to have a monthly veterans update from our friend Tom Heiser. Nice. Very cool.
I encourage everybody to listen for that next hour. We'll have some entertainment news and a bunch
of other fun stuff as well. Get into our schedule and other things. But right now, I want to get to
our final segment of the hour where I wanted to start our show or whole week with magic. Magic
eye drops. Magic eye drops. Yes. Very interesting. Doctors have reportedly developed special
eye drops for people with long-sightedness that could replace the need for reading glasses or
surgery. So like eye sightedness? Yeah. People who can see well far but not near it, right?
Yeah. Just let that sit there for a second. Eye drops. Eye drops that could replace glasses
or lacic or any of these things. That's crazy. You wouldn't have to be constantly lubricating your
eyes or even dropping the solution right before reading. It could be as simple as using them twice
a day. Wow. The idea is that this could be more convenient than carrying around reading glasses
and it would be a lot less invasive than surgery. Yeah. Right. Right. Now, to me, and if you don't
care about the science of this, you can go ahead and find something else real quick to do. But
the drops contain a pillow sulfurian, a pillow sulfurianian, and I practice that. It's
it's tough. It's close enough. A drug that constricts the pupils and contracts the muscles that
controls the shape of the eye lens to enable focus on objects at different distances. Right.
Oh, right. So that's really close to being able to fix things the other way with an eyedrop
too, isn't it? It would be because it's if you remember if you remember from your old
health textbooks, you look at the eye, it's the shape of the eye that causes near-sightedness or
far-sightedness. Exactly. And I believe because they can it's expanding because I believe on
far-sightedness it's smaller. It's more squeezed as the eye. So it like expands and I can see how
that would work. I don't know if they could do it the other way of like shrinking it. They'd have
to come up with something else for like if you're near-sighted. Yeah. It's unclear when this may
become widely available. There isn't this isn't the first time the scientists have used eyedrops to
address eyesight in 2023. Researchers at Ohio State worked on special eyedrops that could quote
prevent or delay near-sightedness. So kids might not have to get corrective lenses so early.
Wow. And in 2021, beauty eyedrops hit the market. Those drops claim that they could replace
eyeglasses for people who have trouble seeing close-up. The medicine takes about 15 minutes to work,
but the effect of a sharper vision can supposedly last up to 10 hours. Well, that would be handy.
It would be. Well, you know, for one to tackle this and get it out of the way. It isn't as if
insurance is getting any easier for people or more accessible to people, whether we're talking
dental eye or just, you know, your basic health insurance. Well, and how much are they
charging for this miracle eyedrop? That would be the question. Yeah. The whole other topic and a
whole lot of realization to it too. Your insurance probably isn't covering it because you can get
glasses. Well, and one of my fears is there's always there's no money in the cure. The money is in
the people needing the treating in the treatments. That is another fear of mine too with the medical
industry and stuff, but I can't help but be excited about this idea. Yeah, right. No, you're
absolutely right. I recently, and I apologize that this has probably been a thing for a very long
time, but I am just recently learning in the last year about how so much of our dental procedures
now can be avoided with what we used to go through with the diving in there and digging and all that,
and now they give you a couple of pills and that clears it all up. Like, it's incredible to me.
That's game changing and why are we why am I just now learning that like I feel like like this
is another one of my problems with a lot of our daytime news and a lot of our five o'clock and
10 o'clock news. The media generally up these things are not covered when they should be this
literally affects millions of millions of people. Yeah, but it's also about whether or not it's
realistically achievable for a person, right? Because if that technology is only available to
the people who can afford to get it, we're still going to have people digging in our mouths.
Right. Exactly. Agreed. Agreed. But we have to we also there was a time where only rich people
could afford flat screens. Now we see them on the side of the road all the time. Like technology,
that's we get to a point where everybody can use it. And and it's a human achievement. Like,
we talked about going to the moon for months and years before we actually did it. Like I did
talking about these things and and the the change the growth that we make in these industries
needs to be covered more. Yeah. Yeah. It's it's it's there's another part of this too. It's hope.
It is. Like we don't have hope in the news enough. We don't have hope in our day to day lives
enough. And I'm saying this is somebody who has no idea what hope is. Well, and there's also
an element of the more we talk about it here in front of live microphones on air. The more
opportunity there is for people who have the money to fund this kind of research to hear about
it and then do so. Well, and to be fair, I mean, I hear what you're saying, they're Laura,
but it should be up to individuals to who have the money to do it. It should be collectively
decided by society and and we have to figure out ways to do this. So the profit mode of doesn't
necessarily have to be the way we get these things done. It does work, but it is. It does work
in certain things and I get that. But like when it comes to like health care and stuff like that,
I don't think that should be a part of it. That shouldn't be in the equation. How many people
including you two, of course, how many people would do this? I think there's a lot of people that
enjoy the glasses. A lot of people that you know, I don't know how many people enjoy putting
contact lenses in, but I think that I've known a number of people in my life that they could have
had lay sick or whatever and they don't because they like their glasses. I don't know if it's a
gigantic perception. I think if you look at it as an alternative to contacts rather than an
alternative to glasses, then you're on to something because if it lasts for 10 hours, right? So you
put your eye drops in before you had to work and by the time you get home, it's worn off and you're
wearing your glasses again, right? I think that's a good way to look at it. It's not really an
alternative to glasses because you're still going to need your glasses when you're at home getting
from your bed to your toilet at 2am. That's what they're for. But the eye drops could be a good
alternative to contact lenses. I could see an argument for that. I made a decision a long time ago.
I'm sticking with glasses no matter what. I'm not interested in wearing contacts. I'm not
interested in getting eye surgery. I'm not interested. I've had to take eye drops before and I
hated it. I'm going to stick with glasses. I'm going to say, I know what I'm getting with these.
I really like my glasses so I like having the option. You can have fashion stuff with glasses too.
There's that option. If you're interested in that too. I have four pairs of glasses because I
like the options. There you go. That's cool. The only thing that's really tempting is the idea
that I cannot keep my glasses clean. I'm not exaggerating. I clean them two seconds
around my face and I'm like, what is that? Is that a smudge? It drives me absolutely insane
every day. I might do it just to get a void. I think you might just need to loosen up a little bit.
Oh, you think. I am saying it. Opposite, James. I'm the exact opposite. People will put my,
oh my god, these are dirty. How can you see with those? It's gotten to the point where
it has to be so. It's like, oh my god, I really can't see it. And then once you watch them,
you're like, how was I living? Yeah, exactly. You do the thing where you're bending your head
a certain way because that's right in that angle right there. Yeah. We want to give these tickets
away. We've got a brand. You're still coming to town. Everybody, the Duwap project is going to be
