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 time we get a drama and then make a strong difference what you're going in.
Ah, I'm everybody, people. Yeah.
Let's get it going time for our two of a Friday edition of the morning show here at 97-5 FM 13-20 AM WFHR.
We are locally grown radio. Got your host James Mein, the mic. Join by our producer Seth.
Hello. And best listeners and radio. Thanks for being here, everybody.
We hope you're having a good one out there. We got good stuff lined up for you.
We're going to give you some entertainment news here in a moment.
Got some fun stuff coming up in there, including that's only what's new on your small screen,
your big screen, some local theater going on in the area, local events.
But I also want to get into these facts about the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.
Oh, that sounds like a lot of fun. Got that lined up for you.
We've got a good one lined up a little bit later. Where in North America are you most likely to spot Bigfoot?
We will discuss. We will help you find Bigfoot, hunt him down and all that.
Well, they'll find him. Find him.
All those. Finding Bigfoot is the key.
Yeah, finding Bigfoot. Nobody's done that.
So, we haven't really found him.
Get into our schedule and plenty more where that came from. Bigfoot is blurry.
It's literally blurry.
It's the smartest movement. It's the greatest camouflage you could have.
We dive into entertainment news and turning toys and games into fictional properties can be very, very tricky.
For every Barbie, there is the, you know, battleship movie.
Or a He-Man Masters of the Universe, the original back of the 80s and all that and stuff.
Oh, cult classic.
Yeah. There's a live action series in the works, and I said, sorry, live action series in the works
based on Mattel's magic eight ball.
And it's being directed by M. Night Shyamalan, of course, the sixth sense
and, you know, so many of those movies.
Okay.
It was written by Brad Fulick, who is apparently going with Peltro's husband.
I did not.
Oh, okay.
He's co-created glee, American horror stories, screen queens, pose.
Oh, he's in, that's TV.
Oh, and the 911 franchise, apparently, he's behind that as well.
Very, very successful.
According to a press release, the show will quote,
aim to reimagine the classic magic eight ball as the centerpiece of a high concept
character-driven supernatural drama that blends psychological intensity
with cultural intrigue.
No word on if the eight ball, it's who will play the eight ball.
Okay.
I hope there, I hope it has a voice at least.
That'd be kind of fun.
Yes.
That's a huge casting, everyone.
Who should be the voice of the eight ball?
Christopher Longham.
Christopher Longham.
Signs point.
Maybe.
By the way, real quick.
You open the door for me.
I'm going to, I'm going to charge through this right now.
I just learned a couple of things about Christopher Walkin'
as a professional in like someone who worked with him,
and literally worked with him.
Two real quick things.
First of all, every script, everything he is on,
is a script that has no punctuation in it.
Wow.
Which would make sense the way he talks.
Yeah. Yeah.
He doesn't know where the commas are.
He doesn't know where the punctuation is.
He has to have a script that's no punctuation.
That's amazing.
In that wild.
The other thing, true eccentric.
This guy, I love Christopher Walkin',
but he's a true eccentric.
So apparently, he carries half eaten apples and pickles in his pocket,
and he'll just randomly pull it out and start eating it.
What the what?
On the set.
He'll do it.
There's a great story.
The guy who does the best Christopher Walkin' impression.
I can't think of any of these usual suspects.
A couple of other movies.
You know, I'm talking about as soon as I'd say it,
but he's telling a story about the first time he met Christopher Walkin'
and he's leaving a Hollywood party.
And he gets into his car and he looks up
and there's Christopher Walkin' trying to like signal to him.
And he's standing in front of the vehicle and he will not move.
And he just comes around and starts talking to him about some random thing
that had nothing to do with anything.
And then left.
That was the first interaction with...
That's Christopher Walkin'.
Very interesting person.
I also will take H. John Benjamin as the voice of the magic eight ball.
The voice of Bob and Bob's burgers and Archer and all that.
That's a good choice.
But like full Al Pacino.
Just going all out.
The caricature of Al Pacino.
Yes.
That'd be fun.
Even better, I'm just leading into this now.
De Niro.
But De Niro doing some of his best like you talking to me.
You shake the eight ball.
Will I find love?
And you shake the eight ball and it's just De Niro.
You talking to me.
You don't see anybody else around.
You must be talking to me.
And...
We are still buying more than a million of them a year.
Wow.
They are still a big seller.
How about that magic eight ball?
How many of you had that on your board?
No, I would have never guessed.
And if you told me they are still selling,
I would have said a couple hundred maybe a year.
Maybe.
Still selling millions of them.
That's got to be pure nostalgia.
I had one of these as a kid.
Yeah.
Definitely.
And they are fun to play around with.
The novelty wears off and you put them around.
But then every now and then you come back.
Just for fun, you'll say,
Will I sow and sow and see what the answer is?
I'm sure if there hasn't been...
I'm sure there already has been some versions of this
like for an app or something.
But they're not nearly as popular as holding it in your hand
and shaking it and wondering what's coming next.
Right.
Exactly.
It's like an eight ball.
It could have been anything.
And they chose an eight ball.
That's really interesting.
It's like Mattel had like a copyright on the game of pool.
I don't know.
We got the eight ball.
It's a great question.
It could have been anything.
Like a fake crystal or something like that.
Anyway.
Alex Van Halen has talked about using generative AI
to complete some unfinished Van Halen music.
He's been talking about this for a little while.
Alex, of course, the brother of Eddie and the drummer
from the original Van Halen.
Yep. His nephew Wolfgang,
not as into this.
Wolfgang says, quote,
Alex is free to do whatever he wants.
He's obviously the proprietor of what Van Halen is
and where it goes.
But I think generative AI is blank stupid.
I don't like it.
I think it's dumb.
Continuing with the conversation,
he says, I think we should be using AI
mufflers on cars, mufflers on cars,
not paint paintings and make songs.
It should be doing the stuff that we don't want to do
or we can't do,
not the creative stuff.
Wolf also had something to say to David Lee Roth
who referred to him as a bratty kid
during a recent rant.
He said, quote, I've always been a punching bag.
It is whatever it is.
I'm a 35 year old married man
with a third album on the way.
I'm not a kid.
Get over it, David.
Yeah, basically.
When David Lee Roth for one new Wolfgang Van Halen,
he was a kid.
Yeah, really.
Get out of here with him.
No talk to him.
He's been down decades and everything.
Just to shout out to real quickly to
Mammoth and that band of Wolfgang Van Halens.
My new favorite band.
I love them.
They're great.
I think that if you were going to do something like that,
I mean, it's his dad.
It would be a really cool,
not as a lost Van Halen track.
Don't do that.
It's kind of like what the Beatles have done occasionally.
More recently, they did.
It was still John recorded stuff.
It's not AI assisted in bringing it.
So the sound was good.
But it didn't create new John Lennon vocals.
It did not do that.
So if you're using it to assist you
on something that's been recorded, I'm cool.
You need to actually that's a really cool thing you can use it for.
But replacing it with that,
I don't know, it just feels weird
and kind of fakie and stuff like that.
I would go a different track.
I really would.
When they were putting together free as a bird
on the anthology album for the Beatles,
they pulled a voicemail or a answering machine message.
John Lennon.
Yeah.
And that's part of what you hear in the song and everything.
And they spliced together like a little bit of like
tracks that weren't used from outtakes and things.
Put it all together, got a brand new song,
new hit, sounds amazing.
Sounds like a Beatles song that could have been made in the late 60s,
early 70s, something like that.
I don't know why you couldn't do something like that.
I don't know why you even need to bring AI into the conversation.
Right.
Other than to use it.
So I know my dad, we get him a new tool
and he would find reasons to use it.
He would find excuses too.
Just because he wanted to play with the new tool.
Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure.
That's what we're doing with AI.
You're so right.
We're having it shoved down our throats.
Please call up if you wanted to use AI for anything creatively.
Anything. Yeah.
Writing an email, any of that.
If you've ever even wanted it, no, it's just right there.
We didn't ask for this. We're just getting it pushed on us.
Right.
And I could not agree with him more.
Wolfgain more about this.
AI has its uses.
AI has positive uses for society
that could really benefit us and help us going forward
and not able to do.
Or maybe, you know,
okay, you're good at this job, but we can have AI do it.
So we're going to move you over here.
Right. So you can do something better.
Or maybe more to your skill center.
Something that AI cannot do.
Right. It's not taking jobs.
It's giving people an opportunity to do other jobs.
And still make a pay or whatever.
But as far as AI in the creative world,
it will never,
never get to the point of human abilities.
Never.
If you think, oh, I don't care about actors.
I don't care about musicians.
Okay. Fine. Go ahead.
You take in AI. You take it in.
And see where that gets you.
See how much you...
I was listening to Katie Cruz the other day
and she was playing,
because country music right now is dealing with this.
Their number one stream song is an AI created song
from an AI artist.
And it's doing very well.
It's getting all these streams and everything.
And that has a shelf life.
Because as soon as I guarantee,
the majority of those streams are coming from people
that have no idea that's an AI.
And as soon as they find out it's an AI,
tell me a country music fan
that wants to go to a concert
and see a laptop.
Just sitting out there.
Because that's the other part of this.
Where did we start our conversation today?
That's what we love as our entertainment.
People really love it.
How are they going to get AI to do this?
No.
It's not going to work.
One of the most popular bits of entertainment
that come out of the summer was that K-Pop demon hunters.
And as big as it was,
as most popular as the songs were in all that,
it wasn't AI created songs.
It was actual artists doing those songs.
Even with animation blocking you
from attaching yourself
or getting into the artist,
it was still able to be that popular
because you had real artists singing the songs.
That's right.
AI will never, ever be able to get to this level.
In order for AI to be able to do this,
it has to be able to have a creative brain.
What it has is references
and things it pulls from
from our creative universe.
It didn't create any of it.
It's just pulling from things that it's already gotten.
You will never get original content from AI.
And that's what people want.
Yeah.
It's only because it's based on everything else
that we've already done.
And you can say that about how music is.
Because it's everything that's created by humans
is based on something that came before.
But the way that they use it
is ways that AI could never,
ever be able to do.
My concern about AI
doesn't have anything to do with
can it compete with us creatively?
I have no doubt it can't compete with us creatively.
Right.
I'll take one of the worst songwriters in the world
and he'll beat out or she'll beat out AI.
Right.
What I'm worried about is the people with money
and power deciding,
if they create a person,
they're a lot to deal with.
And they cost a lot of money.
And they cost a lot of money.
Just use AI.
And leading into that and seeing that and stuff.
And the fear of
even more than that,
because people with power
are always going to try to keep power
and try to find ways to make more money.
I'm not shocked by that and I'm surprised by that.
What I would be hurt by what does scare me
is society being okay with it.
I don't care about actors or musicians
of the creative universe.
When this world is such an integral part of it
is the creative part of it.
Yes.
And think of your life without it.
In books, movies, TV, music.
It would be a horrible life.
It would be very bad.
There's a couple of pretty good books about that.
Yep.
Looking what's new on your small screen
and your local theater stage,
a look on TV tonight at seven o'clock
on HBO.
I know what my dad will be watching.
One to one John and Yoko.
A documentary about John Lennon and Yoko Ones
first year in New York.
Leading right up to their one-to-one benefit concerts.
Oh, really?
That's cool.
One of the worst trailers for a movie I've ever seen.
So this week I saw a trailer for a movie
that I cannot wait to see.
And it's been a while since I had one of those.
I've never seen a trailer for a movie
that I cannot wait to see.
And it's been a while since I had one of those.
And then I saw a trailer this week.
Maybe the worst trailer I've ever seen in my life.
A very Jonas Christmas movie.
A holiday movie
where the Jonas Brothers face a series of obstacles
to get them to from London to New York.
If you love these movies,
you're going to love this movie.
In more powerful,
enjoy your stuff.
But for somebody like me,
I saw this and it was the most pandering thing
I've seen in the very, very long time.
The Jonas Brothers, okay.
I'm okay right now.
I'm kind of a little concerned.
Do they need the money?
I don't think so.
Do not get it.
It's one of those ones where you're watching the trailer
and you could literally write the movie right from it.
Like it's rough.
But if you like it, more power to you.
Don't let me or anybody else tell you otherwise.
Enjoy it.
Enjoy it.
I'm very excited about the streaming premiere
so I can't wait.
And a movie that got a lot of conversation,
Edgerton,
Joaquin Phoenix,
Pedro Pascal,
that is going to be premiering tonight on Friday on Network.
Oh, okay.
I got a couple of things coming up.
Of course, Saturday Live this weekend.
Glen Powell is hosting.
Olivia Dean will be the musical guest.
Glen Powell does a good job with this stuff.
Glen Powell's jawline will be there.
Yes.
Last week tonight with John Oliver.
That's been off for 12 seasons.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's impressive. Wow.
We'll see a good show.
I'm curious to see if it gets a 13th.
I believe they already have a contract in place.
But it would be.
Here's open.
It would be HBO's loss.
Oh, absolutely.
Did that last.
Great show.
And Sunday night football,
please.
Anything better than that?
Looking what's new on your big screen.
Just a couple of movies coming up.
But this is now where we're getting movies back.
We get into the holidays.
Right.
From now to the beginning of the new year,
you're going to be seeing a lot of big releases.
Now you see me now.
You don't rate a PG-13.
It's going to be out great cast.
That's just several movies.
Like a third or fourth?
The fun movies.
My dad loves them.
And the remake of the runnyman,
starring Glenn Powell.
It also stars Josh Brolin,
like Asira, William H. Macy, Colin Domingo.
It's got a nice cast.
It does.
And I've already talked about, you know,
last week or whenever it was,
we talked about the old one and everything.
I would just be curious to watch this just to see, you know,
just to see what it's like.
How they change it and everything like that.
It's not the same.
Arnold is great in every action movie he's ever been in,
especially in his prime,
like it was with the runnyman and a lot of those movies.
80s and 90s.
I'm like you.
I'll probably see it because I want to be able to compare.
I just want to see what it's like.
I like Glenn Powell.
I like the cast.
It's a good cast.
And Colin Domingo looks like he does a fantastic job
in the Richard Dawson role.
And it was such what made the movie hit home for people.
Was that you had an actual game show host
that people knew only as a game show host doing it.
Colin Domingo was incredible,
an incredible actor.
I think they should have had a game show host doing that part.
I think they should have had like Drew Carrier somebody like that in that role.
That would have been because we know that they can act too.
I mean, Richard Dawson was an actor.
Before he became a game show host, he was in Hogan's Heroes for crying out loud, right?
And he could do both though, but like you said,
because he had the experience of being an actual game show host, you know,
someone, Tom Bergeron, I don't care.
Someone that's actually a game show host.
Tom Bergeron would have been good.
You would have been excellent.
I love a darker dark Tom Bergeron.
That would have been good.
I would have loved to see him do that.
But even with all that, the movie cannot have maybe one of the greatest moments.
Oh, no, I'll say it. One of the greatest moments in action movie history.
Arnold looks at him.
I'll be back.
And the beat that lays there,
because we all know that line and who he's referencing in different movie.
Yeah.
How cool. And then Richard Dawson looks at him.
And I guarantee you, it was a one-take scene, only in a rerun.
Only in a rerun.
Oh, it's such a great comeback.
It's so fantastic.
Goosebumps thinking about it, man.
I guarantee it was done in one take.
We'll be back with more, everybody.
But I do want to remind everyone that, well, you got some local TV and movies coming out.
You got one great local theater as well.
And our friends over at Assumption have sister act the musical coming up.
Very exciting.
They had a great show last night.
Her good things. They're back at it tonight with a seven o'clock show.
Tomorrow they'll have a one o'clock matinee.
And everything will wrap up with a seven o'clock show tomorrow.
Yes.
Support local theater. Support these kids.
They've never been a bad local theater production.
Take it in, everybody.
First time since 2019.
They've done an Assumption, which is great.
They're getting it back on stage again. Fantastic.
Big shout out to Ryan and all the kids.
It's really cool.
The more people that they get the better attendance, the more guarantee that they would be able to do this again next year.
Support what they're doing.
Have a great time and a good show.
Take this in and find out more onstage.tickets.
You can find your tickets.
They will get them right there at the front desk.
Right when you get there.
We'll take a time out. We'll come back.
We're talking the random facts.
Interesting facts about Charlie Brown Thanksgiving coming up.
As the year winds down.
It's time for a financial.
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, twelve o'clock, two, nine, eight, five, five, six.
Welcome back, everybody.
Morning show here at WFHR.
Locally grown radio.
We are getting closer and closer to Thanksgiving.
And there are some certain traditions that you have to have.
You've got to have some cranberries involved.
Absolutely.
That doesn't matter what you're kind.
Doesn't matter. It can be the can.
It can be fresh. It doesn't matter.
Gotta give thanks.
Especially a lot of families.
Of course, go around the table and give thanks.
What are you thankful for?
And I am thankful for Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.
Me too. It's been 52 years since a...
Charlie Brown Thanksgiving was released.
Yeah.
And we've probably seen it at least countless times.
At least countless times.
I cannot tell you how many times I've seen it.
Yeah. It's been that long.
I am in my 40s and I guarantee I've seen it over 40 times.
Okay.
At least.
Because I think about this and with my kids.
And playing it for my kids and everything.
Yep. We know all that.
It's a family hand. It's a hand you down thing.
Absolutely. We're a family too.
All of it's special stuff.
There are every one of my kids saw them as a kid.
Every one of them.
I imagine a lot of other families out there are similar.
Well, did you know some of these facts though?
About the 1973 special.
Okay.
As usual with the peanuts, no adults are shown.
And yet, this was the first peanut special to have an adult voice.
Oh!
It was Vince Yardi singing the song Little Birdie.
That was him.
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
I didn't know that until this morning.
And of course, the composer of the music.
The composer of the music.
One of a lot of our favorite artists of all time.
I just love his voice.
If nothing, I mean, sure.
The stuff he did with peanuts is iconic and we love it all.
But, man, some of his other stuff.
That he did his actual jazz stuff.
Well, that's just fantastic music.
Obviously, Linus and Lucy is one of my favorite instrumentals of all time.
Like many people out there.
But you're so right, man.
Like the man won Grammys for his own solo work and stuff.
Yeah, they're really great.
A very important artist in jazz, really.
So good.
I didn't even know he could sing.
I didn't either.
That's awesome.
I did not know that was him.
I had no idea.
Learn something today. That's awesome.
That is really, really cool.
And it sets up to everybody for any new listeners out there.
If Seth and I are just learning something, that's crazy.
That was obscure.
We missed it somewhere.
But Lucy is only in the opening scene.
That's right.
She is.
Wow.
Didn't even think of that.
Nope.
Wow.
Didn't even think of that.
Lucy is a big character, too.
She's a very big character.
Wow.
I think maybe because Peppermint Patty plays such a big role in it,
I think they might have, like, the only...
We only need one strong woman in it.
Or something like that.
I don't know.
They tended to do...
Especially when you had a bunch of male writers.
Yeah, back in the day.
In the 70s.
Basically anything from 1970 before...
75 and before.
Yeah.
That's pretty much where the writers room.
Yeah.
The actors who voiced Lucy and Charlie Brown are still in touch.
They went to high school together and are still Facebook friends
and hang out everyone's home.
Oh, I forget the name.
Peter something is the name of the guy, the kid who did that.
And I'm guessing that's because they grew up in Hollywood
and stuff like that.
So they were...
That's where they got the kid actors from.
So...
There's a spin-off inspired by Linus' speech
about the pilgrims' first Thanksgiving.
It's called the Mayflower Voyagers.
From the...
This is America, Charlie Brown many times.
I have seen that.
Yes.
It's very good.
It's a fun series they did.
Yes.
And one of the producers had an issue with Woodstock committing a bird cannibalism.
But Charles Schultz insisted that Woodstock join Snoopy and carving and eating the turkey.
I totally forgot about that.
No.
Two different species of bird.
Yeah.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's not cannibalism.
No.
Plus we don't actually see, you know, hit me.
It's one of my favorite scenes in animation history, the table and the food setup.
And it's so old school animation.
It's not like these things are drawn very well or anything.
No.
But that's the charm and the beauty of it.
Of hand-drawn cells.
Yeah.
That's right.
The rest of my life I'll picture the candy.
And what was that candy that they put in there?
They called it candy.
But it didn't look like candy candy I'd ever seen.
What is that?
Charlie Brown candy.
If I owned a candy company I would make that candy.
If you would call it Charlie Brown Thanksgiving candy is what he would call it.
The producers, the producers sneakily edited out years later when CBS cut the special for
time.
The scene of Woodstock being there when they cut that.
Oh.
But it was restored to its glory back in 2001 when the special move to ADC.
Nothing wrong with that.
No.
Calm down everyone.
Calm down.
You know, especially with cartoons and everything.
It's a cartoon, I mean.
Sometimes you just got to let your imagination just be there.
We could see more objectionable things in a Tom and Jerry cartoon.
Absolutely.
Then you wouldn't that.
I mean, get out of here.
You think of the stuff we watch as they're just a cartoons.
Seriously.
Back in the day.
It's a classic for a reason.
I hope everybody gets a chance to take in this amazing special this Thanksgiving.
And everybody has a fantastic Thanksgiving.
Yeah.
We got some great stuff of events going on next week.
We're going to be talking about it in a little bit and plenty more.
When we come back from our new sports and entertainment and partner break on the morning
show.
Why do you fly upside down?
Welcome back everybody.
Morning show here at WFHR.
Locally grown radio.
Seth and James hanging out with you.
Thanks so much for hanging out with us.
Journalistic integrity here.
We have rallied against the finding Bigfoot crowd quite a bit.
Now that's only on like a TV level in that.
And it's a lot of it is ingest because I don't begrudge anybody.
They're entertainment.
I'm not talking about the people that watch these shows.
People that watch these shows take this in Bigfoot Hunters or whatever terminology you want to use.
Nothing against it.
Do your live your life.
Right.
Exactly.
My frustration begins in more of the people that try to profit off those people.
There you go.
That's where my frustration is.
That's where the scams come in.
Yeah.
I don't like people getting scammed on any level.
Even when it's something maybe we consider silly but to them it means something.
Yeah.
Right.
Exactly.
And I'm not a fan of that kind of thing.
I'm also frustrated just by what gets you know how a show like finding Bigfoot could have six seasons.
And no evidence of fighting Bigfoot.
At all.
Ever.
Like after season one you don't you get seven episodes or whatever and you don't find Bigfoot.
I'm sorry man.
No.
You're canceled.
You got a budget.
You got everything.
Come on.
So a new report has ranked the places in America where you're statistically most likely
to spot the Sasquatch himself Bigfoot.
Okay.
And you need to be more remote than say downtown Indie.
You know.
If he's shopping in downtown Indie I mean that would be something.
You ain't going to see him in West Chicago.
Yeah.
You're not going to be seeing him there.
To rank each state they looked at reported boy reported Bigfoot sightings.
Okay.
Forrestry coverage and the average temperature.
For some reason.
I don't know why they threw that in there.
I don't know why they got a big free code.
He should be able to you know Canada's not you should be okay.
Yeah.
There are no quote facts about Bigfoot.
So where you would get why would you think it temperature would matter to Bigfoot.
To me Bigfoot don't matter.
Don't matter.
I'm basically he's furry.
Right.
He can handle the cold.
He is literally a winter jacket.
Like he's.
He's seen Harry in the Henderson.
Yeah.
How it works.
Right.
Yeah.
The closest we have to documentation of Bigfoot we have at Harry in the head.
That's right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just you know don't get too close to him.
Yeah.
Don't get don't get don't be don't form an emotional bond with him.
It's going to end badly.
It always.
You're going to have to get out of here.
You get out of here.
Um.
John John John Lickow is one of the better actors we've ever seen.
Right.
I don't know that um uh there's been a bad performance I've ever seen by him.
But one of the the only it tells you how difficult the vaccine it is because it's one of the worst
scenes I've ever seen of my life of him to get out of here.
Yeah.
It's so bad.
So bad.
So bad.
It's fun.
And and it pulls.
100% yes.
It sure does.
Here are the top 10 US states and Canadian provinces where you're most like.
Got to include Canada.
Yeah.
You're going to need a passport.
Washington at number one.
Yep.
That's where all of the most of the the sightings have been isn't been Washington state.
That is correct.
I love the idea.
Most account of all the people in Congress and Washington DC.
Hello.
I was going to do it.
I was going to do it.
It was.
That's where I was going with.
Sorry.
I love the Washington DC.
They're like.
Just.
Just.
He's a lobbyist.
You know.
Big put by a bunch of the uh the the flowers and the the.
You're right.
Yeah.
Everything in the mirror pool.
Big put taking a shot near the Lincoln Memorial.
Just you know.
Selfie.
Yeah.
West Virginia.
Yeah.
That makes sense.
It's it's it's mountainous.
I mean.
I believe what it is.
Oregon.
Number three.
Okay.
Again.
Right.
I'm right there with Washington.
Sure.
British Columbia.
Canada, which is.
Again.
Yeah.
Makes sense.
And now it gets a little more interesting.
Michigan.
The UP would make sense.
Yeah.
The UP.
So that makes sense.
Maine.
Okay.
Yeah.
Another heavily wooded not very populated states.
Okay.
Makes sense.
And Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania.
Hmm.
They must be talking about Western Pennsylvania on this one.
You got to be.
Because.
Yeah.
I don't know where I was somewhere in between Pittsburgh and on the east coast.
Every state's got some forestry to it.
Mm-hmm.
I will say that New York and Pennsylvania are ones that are sneaky with that.
That's right.
I don't think a lot of people would think of the pines and in some of the stuff.
In the state area.
In the state area.
You know, that kind of thing.
So, um, yeah.
Yeah.
I could see that.
Idaho.
Right next to Washington State.
Yeah.
Now, one thing we, we are, we are pretty certain about what Bigfoot loves potatoes.
Loves potatoes.
So that makes a lot of sense.
Um, I don't know.
Poor Idaho.
They've been trying to get away from that for so long.
The potato thing.
Yeah.
I apologize to all Idahoans.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
It should be Hawaiians.
Yeah.
Oh, Ohio.
Hmm.
See, now Ohio makes less sense than say Northern Wisconsin or even Minnesota.
Yeah.
That would make more sense to me than Ohio and Massachusetts.
Hmm.
Yeah.
Okay.
I guess.
I get that Western Massachusetts.
Yeah.
I gotta say it does feel like they were trying to round out to 10.
Like they just threw a couple in there.
Like I don't know.
There's like been one sighting in Massachusetts.
Yeah.
Oh, I can throw it in there.
And here are the states and provinces where you're least likely to find Bigfoot.
It's here.
I'm just gonna throw that in there.
Here.
Play us.
Literally wherever you are right now, wherever you are here, right there or here or there.
For this list though, Quebec, Canada, North of Vermont and New Hampshire.
The, um, they can't speak French.
So the language barrier gets really hard when they go to Quebec.
It's poor people, you know.
Just trying to get a ham sandwich, man.
Just trying to get a sandwich.
And they're correcting his pronunciation and he just can't handle it, you know.
I do feel like because all the, all the conversation of Bigfoot has to do with the America in everything,
then he probably would speak English.
Yeah.
That's where he's been most time or Western Canada.
They speak English here too.
So there you go.
Um, Maryland.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think there's some fun.
There's some fun ones.
Not a Ravens fan.
Yeah.
Not a Ravens fan.
Not a Maryland.
Yeah.
Not a Maryland.
Yeah.
At number three, I think the funniest one on the list may be Arizona.
There's no coverage.
If I'm Bigfoot and I'm in Arizona, I feel safe as all can be.
I am not worried about anybody taking pictures of me or they could literally pull out their phone
and record me for 10 minutes on TikTok and I'm not going to care because nobody's going to believe
that you found Bigfoot in Arizona.
Nobody will believe it.
The person could be standing right next to you and they will not believe you.
But it's right.
He's right there.
I'm touching his fur right now.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh.
There's no reason Bigfoot being Arizona.
That's why he vacations there.
Yes.
Because you're right.
No one would believe it.
Nobody.
They just see him and now they've gotten used to it.
It's like, oh, yeah, there's Bigfoot.
Huh.
Guy, look at he so stuck up.
Nobody's going to believe it.
It's like, oh, that's AI.
That's fake.
That's fake.
Alberta.
Alberta, Canada comes in at number four.
Again, that's Alberta is more West, you know, of Montreal.
Oh, it's above Montreal around Montreal.
No, no, Alberta is right next to BC.
Oh, yeah.
British Columbia.
British Columbia, Alberta Saskatchewan, Manitoba.
So, yeah, that would make sense because it's right next to British Columbia.
Louisiana at number five.
Apparently the quality of life is better at BC.
Apparently, apparently.
That it is an Alberta.
Louisiana at number five.
And I love Bigfoot with a cage and accent.
Man, I'm telling you, no swamps.
Oh, I know what it is.
They've got their own legendary characters in the swamp.
They've got too many cryptos here.
They've got too many cryptos here.
We don't want him here.
There's way too many cryptos over there.
We've got gator people and things.
So, no, we don't need any of them.
We were more good Bigfoot.
We don't need any more cryptos.
Don't move here.
Okay.
I want for our sports fans out there.
And if you don't know, look up the voice.
I want the voice of Bigfoot to sound like Ed Orgeron.
The old LSU coach.
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
That's so bad.
He's in Washington for some reason as a Louisiana accent.
I love that idea.
Manitoba, Canada.
Comes in at number six.
You see, I've been to Manitoba.
It looks a lot like my home state of Minnesota.
And you know, central part of this, this continent, right?
Right on the other side of that.
Yeah, right, yeah.
It's not far from the border up that way.
So, I mean, that's cool.
That doesn't make any sense, though.
Yeah, I have been to Manitoba.
It's cool.
My dad's been there fishing with his, they used to go fishing trips
when he was a kid up to Canada.
And that's one of the spots they went on to.
Indiana.
Comes in at number seven.
Like you said.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, seriously.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, seriously.
Yeah.
Anyone going to Indiana?
I'm sorry, Alia.
Sorry about that.
It does seem like a little Indiana.
If I'm Bigfoot, I'm going to Iri and Indiana because it's so on the nose.
You know, again, nobody's going to believe that I'd be an Iri and yet.
Wait, where are you?
I'm an Iri.
No, get out of here.
There's no big foot.
That's someone in a cost.
Tell me one of the most underrated TV shows in history.
Iri and Indiana was very good.
It's such a great show.
California at number eight.
Now, wait a minute.
Northern California is very heavily with giant trees and on the west coast.
Yeah.
I'm telling you.
Yeah.
Why not California?
If you're I don't know about this list.
Yeah.
I don't.
Yeah.
Something about this list does not ring true.
So think about what you just said to with what the subject matter with Wilbur.
Right.
And you're so right.
You're right.
I think Northern California Bigfoot could make it.
And I mean, where else are going to vacation if you're Bigfoot?
Right.
You know, you can only.
Yeah.
Good luck getting a plane ticket.
But seriously.
Good luck getting out of the train.
I know.
You're hoping it.
You're Bigfoot in it.
So you know, I mean, California is a lot closer to some of these other places.
You know, he's big.
He's got a decent stride.
He can make a couple of, you know, several miles a day, I think.
Yeah.
I cannot imagine trying to buy a pair of shoes if you're Bigfoot.
Like, I have size 12s and it's difficult for me.
I cannot imagine.
Oh, no.
They go.
That's where they go barefoot.
Yeah.
Find shoes.
Big up.
That makes shoes for him.
It's still not good enough.
It's not big enough.
At number nine and 10, Alaska at number nine, which doesn't make a lot of...
That makes your...
Has the Yeti migrated?
Yeah.
To Alaska from the Himalayan mountains.
Maybe, maybe it has.
And it doesn't want, you know, a Sasquatch to invade its territory.
So I don't know.
Kiddy, kiddy, kiddy swim.
I don't know.
What is the difference of a Yeti in Bigfoot?
Oh, okay.
A Yeti is a creature from Asian folklore.
While Bigfoot is more of a North American folklore.
But they're basically the same.
You know, they're big, shaky creatures.
One has, you know, more white fur because they blend in with the snow.
The Himalayas, right?
And one is, like, brownish whatever to blend in with the wooded areas of North America.
Just to try to get ahead of this before I get canceled because I really need this job.
I did not mean to assume that Yetis and Bigfoot's Sasquatches...
I'm sorry, Sasquatches are the same.
That's the preferred...
I apologize.
That's a blind spot on my part.
I would like to apologize to all furry friends.
People.
I mean the animals.
They...
They're...
They're...
People are the animals.
I don't know what a Bigfoot or Yeti is.
I don't want to go.
They're paneled.
They're paneled.
There we go.
Well, you've been using...
No, to be fair to you.
You've been using the correct terminology, okay?
We've been calling him Bigfoot.
Maybe we shouldn't do that.
Sasquatch...
You said Sasquatches, that's more...
I mean, abominable snowman.
That's just...
That's just mean.
Okay.
So Yeti is much better on that one, right?
It's very assuming.
I mean, you know...
I mean, abominable?
That's...
They're nice at all.
No, no, no.
It's not very nice.
You wouldn't want to be known as abominable stuff.
You wouldn't...
Seriously.
Who must be called that?
Yeah.
And Wyoming comes in at number 10.
I...
I would think the Wyoming could be a great spot.
There's not many...
There's like very lowly populated state.
You know, Wyoming has got one of those small spots.
Yeah, that would make sense.
Especially if he wants to learn how to, you know, rope and ride.
Oh, yeah.
You know, he worked on a ranch.
You'd be...
I've been probably thinking, be good as a cowboy.
I...
I...
I want to see that movie.
Sasquatch the cowboy.
I want to see that.
Sasquatch the cowboy.
With his best friend Yeti.
That's the sequel.
That's the sequel.
That's the sequel.
That's the sequel.
That's the sequel.
That's the sequel.
We will...
We will come back and wrap up this show mercifully.

And if you haven't been paying attention to Badger hockey team.
Ooh, first place in the in the big 10 everybody.
Yeah, they really took it to the the gofers the other weekend.
So yeah, they're looking pretty good right now.
Easily.
If not the toughest, the second toughest division in all of college hockey.
Oh, it's got to be up there.
I mean, it's incredible looking at that big 10.
It's not the old WCH.
Yeah, nice.
I'm not bitter about that at all.
You and my father, man.
We'll die on that hill.
You're so.
No argument.
Oh, anyway.
That's some good one.
Of course, we'll have a game two of that series tomorrow at 5.30 for you.
Very nice.
But before that, we got Badger football 9 a.m. Badger football kicks off big pregame.
Take it on Indiana.
Should be a good one.
We'll talk about that a little bit later.
I will be a good game.
Yeah.

So keep that in mind.
Everybody is making holiday plans.
Or just looking for fun, different things.
And certainly, of course, supporting our vendors and our ag industry out there.
It is so wonderful to be able to continue our farmers markets
into the colder months, not only because of the produce
and the different things that we get from there,
but, of course, being able to truly buy local support,
local support our good people out there.
They have pies for sale.
It's all I need to say.
There's a bakery that's got pies there.
I should've just said that.
They got pies.
Yeah.
I mean, why would you want a pie?
First two weeks have been great.
It's been hopping down there.
Good to hear.
Great show today, so.
You too.
Be good to each other out there.
