Brian Marshall & The ROCK 108 Morning Show - 7/22 Show Bitz

Who used all the Wi-Fi?

Ah, apartment life.

Bad Wi-Fi, mystery laundry piles, and a roommate who says, I'll Venmo you.

Maybe 2027 deserves an upgrade.

Coming August 2027, Four Lakes Properties introduces the brand new Union Station Apartments, furnished in-unit washer and dryer.

Internet included a great central downtown location, one to five bedroom apartments, and no double occupancy fees.

That's less adulting and more actually enjoying where you live.

Union Station Apartments, now leasing from Four Lakes Properties.

Wait, we have a washer and dryer in the apartment?

That's Egg with Mother on Rock 108.

Chance of Storms today hitting a high of 84 and then a slight chance of storms tomorrow and looking at 82.

Today's Daily Dumbass comes to us from Chicagoland as yesterday.

This happened at 11.12 in the morning.

Special vehicle traveling in the northbound lanes of Interstate 294 just before Roosevelt Road.

When the Oscar Mayer Wino Mobile driver struck a Hyundai sedan,

That was also traveling north.

After striking the Hyundai, the driver of the Oscar Mayer Wino Mobile lost control.

Overcorrected.

Rolled onto its side.

Photos and video from the scene showed an orange and yellow Oscar Mayer Wino Mobile being hauled away on the platform of a semi truck.

According to the tracker website associated with the Wiener Mobile.

The vehicle's next stop in the Chicago area was set to come on July the 27th when scheduled to make an appearance at Tony's Fresh Market in Round Lake Beach.

Luckily no injuries reported.

Backups initially reported but traffic had resumed as normal in the hours following the crash.

Can you imagine the traffic?

You're listening to the traffic report?

Well, it looks like 294 is blocked right now and there's a severe backup due to a large wiener on the roadway.

Oh, and all the ladies are like, no, it probably isn't that big.

You can get past it with two lanes of traffic.

That's your Daily Dumbass today from Illinois, Chicago specifically.

755, news is coming up here in just a few, plus shine down on The Rock What A Way Morning Show.

She's still blind by the way.

Cuz she's the fire woman.

Yeah, okay firecrunch, okay Well, maybe she's the one to blame for the accident yesterday in Chicago I 294 just before Roosevelt Road the Oscar Meyer wiener mobile Struck a Hyundai sedan and rolled over.

No.

Yep How does

the wiener roll over?

That's such a low-profile vehicle.

It isn't though It's sitting up on top of that little kind of like that platform that holds it up

Oh, interesting.

The

wiener, is it in this

case?

Right.

Holding up the wiener.

Yeah.

And then it rolled over in traffic.

They had pictures.

They had wiener pics all over the news yesterday.

I would like to see those.

Would you know?

Yes.

Are

they posted?

Should I be a wiener picture fan, please?

No.

According

to the

Wienermobile Tracker website, the vehicle's next stop in the Chicago area was supposed to be July the 27th.

Today is the, well yesterday was five days in front of when the Wienermobile was supposed to, you know, show up at its next stop.

So it's a premature wiener.

What's your sign?

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

They said backups initially reported, but I'm sure a couple of people have backed up under this Wienermobile.

Is that too

much?

I was I was thinking of a blue engine joke I

said this morning that it was backing up lanes of traffic on I 294 but there were women that were looking at it saying ah you can get around it there's only a couple of lanes not really that big a deal it's a small wiener yeah well and there was another story too this way there was a lot of wiener talk on today's show yeah we're a Tennessee former police department employee

Through cans of Vienna sausages at the city's vice mayor's house So he was throwing weeners at the

vice

mayor in Tennessee I guess he was a little perturbed about

when you're upset you throw party weeners at At your enemy

so you're saying it would be a sausage party then you would be a sausage party You ready to do this top five Tuesday it doesn't have anything to do with weeners you're gonna give me a top five this week

all right

I got a top five for you.

Okay.

Here we go

If it

wasn't disaster enough that the Wiener Mobile rolled over in Chicago, the Hollywood Reporter listed the best disaster movies of all time after Twisters a huge hit at the box office this weekend.

So Russ, your top five

Top five list of best disaster movies of all time.

So you're not talking like Caddyshark 2 movies that were disasters.

No,

no, no.

No, actual

disaster movies.

All right.

Well, the original twister has to be in there.

Yes, at number three.

But the new twister is not a sequel.

It is a sequel Tom Kamen saw it and he gave it a very mediocre review and he said it was not a sequel really interesting Which I don't know because I haven't seen it so I can't say we should reach out the

lane from midwest weather He went to see it too.

Oh, that's right.

You know,

yeah

He was going up to what prairie that day as a weather guy.

Yeah towering inferno towering inferno is

Number

one!

Oh my god!

That's Dabney Coleman there at the end.

Dabney Coleman.

Wow.

What a cast.

Um, so you got number three with twister and number one with the towering inferno from 1974.

I mean, back.

See, I'm not a movie

guy.

You know, I'm not a movie guy.

Um, which is why I gave you this.

I know.

I remember there being one that scared the pants off everybody airport.

Is airport on the list nope

No, but go with a different type of transportation.

You said trains planes and automobiles.

No Go go Titanic you're getting closer.

That's not not a boat

I'm

sorry, not a not a Titanic, but it is a boat.

Sorry.

That's what I meant to say it

is a boat, but not 70s

movie

to

Had a boat has a The love boat Has a has a god in the title think about the sea all the Poseidon adventure.

Yes That one is at number two.

So you're missing number four Right now.

Yeah, the

Poseidon who is it was a tody fields?

No, not tody fields.

So some bigger woman who was older at the time who?

played the iceberg no but she died in the movie oh no um uh the day after tomorrow

the day after tomorrow number nine okay nice you

are doing

extraordinarily well for someone who says he doesn't like movies i don't um there's one more are there horror movies no these are just disaster movies okay but the the one that you're missing

Well, two that you're missing.

You're missing four and five.

Number five was released in 1998.

The stars were Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck.

Think space.

Apollo 13?

No, but it does start with the letter A. Think of Aerosmith.

I don't want to miss a thing was on the soundtrack.

I don't want to.

I love that song.

Yes.

What soundtrack

was it

on?

Titanic nope it starts with the letter

a And it's a space movie, and it's not Apollo.

It's not Apollo.

Nope.

It's a space movie though Asteroids were guys come off of an oil Derek and go up into the stars

They come off an oil Derek and go up into the stars.

That's quite a

treatment

This tells me you have not seen this movie with Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck.

No, I don't see any movies hardly.

You want me to give it to you?

Give me one more clue about the title.

This would be if the world were to end, what is it?

Apocalypse.

Close.

Apocalyptic.

People firing missiles and everything else at each other, and it's a big word.

You know, one of those $5

words.

Hold on, let me see if somebody's sending it.

Oh, I see you're calling it a lifeline.

I'm doing a call a friend.

That's fine.

Paul Hennessey's Armageddon.

Yeah, that's it.

Okay.

P1Polly nails it.

Did you ever see it?

Never saw it.

That's funny.

And the reason you won't get number four is because the Hollywood Reporter already put twisters on the number four list of best disaster movies of all time.

Well, I said Twister earlier.

You said Twister, but not Twisters, which was number four.

Oh,

that's why it's probably not a sequel.

Ah.

You think?

I don't know.

I haven't seen it yet.

I'm going to them.

So they put the new one on as

number four

of all time in the movies out for like a week.

Oh, no.

By the by the Tom Cameron review, I would say no.

OK.

Farmer Tom said, man, he said, man.

His wife liked it because, Candice liked it because there was a, there's a love story involved in it as well, I think he said.

So the main

character

makes love with a twister?

No.

No.

But there's, he

got blown

away.

That's amazing.

There's a love interest.

I think he said that.

I'll

have to find out.

Finishing out the remainder of the top 10 just for you.

Number six was Deep Impact.

space crater mm-hmm yeah don't look up 2021 never heard of it this one I didn't understand the wave it's Norwegian film released in 2015 never heard of it the day after tomorrow you mentioned that was number nine and daylight was Sylvester Stallone a very

Little known Sylvester Stallone movie was number 10.

Never heard of it.

So there you go.

Hey, for not a movie guy, I think I did okay.

You did great!

Yeah.

You know, how are you supposed to get twisters?

Who would think that all time it's out for a week?

And it's already lovely.

Thanks Hollywood Reporter.

Greatest disaster movies ever.

Yeah.

What'd you think on that?

3192345369?

Or if we're missing a disaster movie that we should check out.

Link at Parks, Papercut, and ACDC coming up.

So you see DC on the Rockwood 08 morning show some follow-up on the disaster movies and twister versus twisters a P1 Al the trucker checking in said I was thinking independence day with Will Smith The first one was good the second one that they put out with independence day Sequels are never that great.

It depends on the sequel.

Godfather 2

Yeah, I like that

one.

Yeah

Let's see here, Preston, Shane, Iowa Falls, said twisters is good, but twister is the best.

You cannot replace a great soundtrack that has Van Halen and a bunch of country.

It's against the

law.

I wonder if this new one had a soundtrack.

It did, a lot of country on it.

Okay.

Yeah, it's terrible.

Not

necessarily, just because it was country.

Man, listen to it, it's not good.

I mean, to Preston's point, there was a vibe.

in the 90s with that twister soundtrack.

I mean, that's where

human

being came from and there's just a vibe to that particular movie.

I mean, is if you look at it and say, is that a cinematic masterpiece?

Absolutely not.

But how many movies have cows flying around in the air?

Not many.

Not many.

Maybe you could get yourself a little bit better rotten tomato score if you flew more cows around.

We got

cows.

One last thing I wanted to cover.

Yeah.

Halloween candy.

Why?

Once again, starting hit store shelves early

across the country.

No, I don't like seeing Halloween displays.

That means summer is almost

over.

I knew that you would say that.

In 2020, candy started to appear in August due to the pandemic.

In 2021, it was in July.

This year, it hit store shelves just a few days earlier compared to the last two years.

And not just the candy.

Halloween decorations.

The spooky animatronics, the apparel, and other related merchandises started to appear on the store shelves, Russ.

Weird fact, Candy Corn, which is nobody's favorite.

It's terrible.

I kind of like it, but I'm me.

Candy Corn was originally, they tried to sell it as a Christmas.

Really?

Yeah.

Why?

Because it was harder to make it and keep it fresh during the summer months because it tended to melt and it was pre-refrigeration days.

They had to stabilize the formula yet, whatever reasons.

Then it was originally called chicken feed.

Which makes sense.

Yeah.

Because it does look like that.

Have you ever seen candy corn assembled into a full cob?

To a full cob.

Yes, because the candy corn itself represents the kernel a

few right?

Oh, so the round part where they're where the pieces are all pointing in towards the the cob Yeah, I have it.

It looks cool.

It's it's cool to see wouldn't eat it.

Why it's absolutely

terrible I Have myself convinced that each of those three layers taste different

I eat

them one layer at a time and I'm convinced

that they taste different.

So you prepare these at home where you just cut them up into each one of the layers.

You say, oh, I'm going to eat the orange

layer today.

I don't cut them up.

I pick one up and I bite the little white part off to it.

Then I bite the yellow part off and then the orange part.

Three different flavors.

Interesting.

Do you also think that M&Ms have different flavors?

Absolutely.

Depending on the color of the shell?

Yeah.

OK.

Yeah.

But you don't bite into them.

When you suck on them, you get the flavor of the color first, then you bite into them.

On M&M's?

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

They each slightly different.

Are you sure you didn't smoke up before today?

Immigrant song.

Led Zeppelin up next.

Sleep Theory with Fallout 108.

By the way, for those who keep track and I just found this out last night, my favorite show of the summer, Big Brother is back on the air.

We're into episode two.

Thank God that it remembers every year because who knows what time shows come on anymore.

Nobody follows linear TV.

You know how

I'm trying to understand Big Brother a little bit more.

So is it

never

got into it.

No.

So good.

It's just a lot of people sitting around quite frankly.

Yeah.

But they're playing head games on each other.

Yeah.

OK.

I mean, people do that in real life,

right?

Which is why it's so good.

I

like the game show like the what essentially was like the double dare portion of the show where they play for, you know, but that's only like once or twice a show, right?

They have competitions one every week once once a week.

Had a household competition.

I don't know.

The first four or five seasons I didn't watch and something something hit after season four.

where I said, well, I should try it because I love reality TV, period.

I should try Big Brother.

And then I started watching it and it had some epic seasons.

It's had some not so epic seasons like everything else.

It depends on the players.

So, you know, some seasons are better than others, but boy, it's had some great seasons.

See, but to that point I enjoy survivor much more because while they may be sitting around they're sitting around and what is it Bali or something like that?

Right, you know, Desert Island somewhere.

Yeah,

couple of games

and people have to

make sure that they're surviving still and you know, I think that's fun.

I watched the first couple years of survivor too, but you know, again, my reality TV knows no bounds.

If it's a reality show, I will stop and watch it, even if I'm not involved in it.

House of Love, did you like that one?

Never saw

it.

That was the one with the, wasn't that Brett Michaels?

No, Rockalove.

Rock of Love was with Brett Michaels.

Remember when he was trying to find a

girl?

Yeah, you know what?

I did watch some of that.

I mean, that was kind of Big Brother mixed in with Brett Michaels trying to find his love.

And who's the guy that the black guy with the big clock around his chest?

Flavor Flav!

And he

was dating the Scandinavian chick.

Yes.

That started in, what was it, surreal life.

Then it transitioned over to flavor of love.

Right.

And then who was the girl that was on flavor of love that,

uh, I

love New York.

New York was the girl's name.

She was she was a taller woman.

No,

this was a Scandinavian.

I know I'm giving you the lineage here.

So there's more

than

one.

Well, he was dating this Scandinavian chick Brigitte Nielsen.

That's it.

Brigitte Nielsen.

Okay.

They were together on the surreal life and then he goes off and he does flavor of love.

Flavor of love then spins off into I love New York.

Those were the ones I kind of

enjoyed.

Those were

cool.

Flavor was Mr. Personnel.

Oh my gosh.

Yeah.

That would be a guy that, like, if somebody said, hey, you want to talk to Flava Flav?

Yes,

please.

Yes, I do.

Can we book an hour?

Please and thank you.

I would love that.

And I don't know why this hasn't happened, but Snoop and what's her name, the old white lady from the Hamptons who cooks.

Oh, Martha Stewart.

Then they're like the weirdest couple.

They're like best friends.

You think they've done it?

I do.

Yeah!

They got really high one night, and then

Snoopy's like, hey, you want to shizzle the nizzle open as a person?

You know, she's been, she's been, she's been impressive.

She's been on a couple roasts and she can be filthy.

She can get down.

You know she can.

Yeah.

Just

imagine what Julia Child was like.

No, not, no, not Julia.

Take your little knife.

I'm still looking about Snoop and Martha Stewart.

That's horrible.

Oh my God.

9 58.

That's the end of this show.

Russ is in next 30 minutes commercial free includes corn falling away from me and some gosh man.

and kickstart my heart with the Rock108 Morning Show.

And it did.

It did.

It did.

That kick started me.

You're good?

Yeah, I'm good.

And you have Motley Crue tickets coming up during Bad Hair Friday, Russ.

Yes, sir.

In fact, the first pair is, I think, this hour.

But we could kick those into next hour if we need

to.

I thought you were going to do them during Bad Hair Friday today.

Bad Hair Friday runs all day long.

Oh, OK.

That's a fair statement.

I thought you're doing them during the show.

No.

Maybe I need to read some stuff.

Yeah, whatever.

Hey, we've got a guest today for Marshall's Marketplace, and this is an individual that we had been talking about after the weather that happened on Monday, right?

Yes.

Midwest weather.

Lane is joining us here on the show.

Lane, welcome aboard.

Yep.

Thank you for having me today.

Absolutely.

Russ has been following you for quite some time and he was kind of the one that that that clued me into what you're doing.

So we wanted to kind of break down and find out a little bit more about you.

Let me set the whole thing up first.

So a couple years ago I started following on Facebook a site called Midwest Weather and the narratives and the forecasts were very professional.

So I assumed it was a 70 year old retired weather guy that still needed to work his stuff out and he was doing it on Facebook.

And then there were a couple instances.

I can't remember what they were, but they were instances where the Facebook page Midwest Weather decimated the broadcast stations as far as accuracy was concerned.

And I'm like, wow, this is like, this is pretty good.

This guy is better than the TV station sometimes.

And then I saw a couple of Midwest stations, not around here, a couple of TV stations from, I don't know, Illinois maybe.

Yeah.

Crap it all over the site.

Yeah.

Saying, don't believe Midwest weather.

He's forecasting too far out in advance.

The models aren't in agreement yet.

And once again, he was right.

The Midwest Weather site was correct.

And the TV guys had angered their face.

And then this week, Lane was predicting a what do you call the straight line?

The derecho.

The derecho.

And everybody said, you can't predict the ratios.

And I'm saying, I don't know, watch.

Yeah.

Watch.

And sure enough.

We had to rate shows and pretty much where he predicted them with the wind speeds he predicted.

And that's when we started talking about it and said, we're going to find out who this person is.

And then we found out he's a kid.

Lane, welcome aboard.

I've got to know, when did you start getting fascinated with weather in general?

I had a young age, probably like another seven years old.

I started to look at clouds.

like with my dad and mom.

And I thought, wow, well, that looks cool.

So I was like, well, I wanted to go more into weather a lot more.

And then when I was like 10, 11 years old, that's when I started to look at some like model guidance, stuff like that.

And then I came along.

At

seven and eight, you're looking at model guidance?

No, like

when I was 10 to 11, I was looking at model guidance.

Okay, still.

Yeah.

And then I found some new stations around here.

I actually messed on them and I wanted to be better than them.

So I started to make my own forecast and that's when I made the Facebook page.

Actually, four years ago today, I made this page in 2020.

Really?

Four years ago

today?

Seriously?

That's so wild.

And well, happy four-year anniversary.

Thank you.

But the fact of the matter is so at 10, where some kids are playing Fortnite, you're more fascinated by the weather at that point.

Yes.

I play some video games, but yeah, I've done mostly weather 24-7 almost.

So weather is pretty technical and people get four-year and advanced degrees in meteorology.

How did you learn it all?

I'm all self-taught really.

I mostly just looked at myself and started to gain some experience myself.

There's also a couple of people out there that I looked into for weather and I got some information from them, but then yeah after that I just

Took off myself and hoped that I was I was accurate enough.

So Kyle Maris still listens

to us, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, I see it's not that hard

Don't start any wars Yeah, I've been into some stuff with a couple of new stations here.

So I don't yeah, it's not really getting to

that You haven't defended yourself against any of them except on your page a little bit, right?

Well, one of them I met I

met them in November

One of the local stations?

Yeah, one of the chiefs.

And then a few months later, she messaged me about me scaring people and stuff like that a few months ago back.

Oh, he criticized you in an email to you?

Yeah, they messaged my page.

Like many times, just trying to, several messages, just trying to say some stuff.

And I was like, come on now.

Where are you different than some of the other similar type of sites on Facebook that also

forecast the weather.

Most people that forecast the weather they use like the National Weather Service and like other weather organizations while I am I don't look at any national like I look at some of this stuff like watches right but I make my own forecast all the time so I don't really look at any of the offices around here.

Where do you get the data from?

Model guidance.

I look them up so some of the stuff

Like watches I get them from the storm prediction center website.

They issue the watches and stuff like that analysis the warnings isn't that shows the

weather models

My websites actually there's one my website is called pivot of weather And that has a bunch of models of that and I look at that website and try to get forecast from that.

So how did you predict the

derecho this week?

well

Honestly, I was I was confident in happening, but then I was also kind of scared because last one didn't really go as planned, but I've forecasted a few of them in the past.

We've already had two others this year The one we had in 20 and December the one even August at 2020 They love that one.

Yeah, but I only I only made a page about a month early than that.

So yeah, they didn't get much people but

Then I, like I know from experience of how do issues like thrive and will like track and stuff like that.

And then I just look at models and they actually did really good on Monday.

So that also helps me out too.

You did

very good on Monday.

Well, thank you.

I'd like

to talk a little bit more about how you look at your forecast and such like that.

But I'd also like you to play Marshall's Marketplace, which we've got coming up here in just a few plus the new kitty right now is three doors down.

That's a new one from Kitty.

We are shadows on The Rock 108 Morning Show.

Brian Marshall, Russ, and our guest, Lane

from Midwest Weather.

And just to reset the story, Midwest Weather is a Facebook page that we've been following for a couple years now.

And it's amazing how accurate this page has been, and oftentimes beating the local weather TV people.

And at one point, I saw some of the Midwest TV stations taking shots at them for, you know,

being irresponsible with his weather forecast and letting him out too early.

Too early, you can't, you can't project weather that far.

And then the dude was right all the time.

So I thought he was like an 80 year old retired weather guy and me and Brian started investigating it and we found out that Lane not only lives in the area, but is 16 years old.

That is so wild.

What high

school do you go to?

What high school do you

go to?

I go to North Lynn.

North Lynn.

Yeah.

Just right up the road.

Yeah, just can kind of hang out.

You know, I'm thinking back to when I was 10.

Yeah, it was a lot about teenage mutant Ninja Turtles and such like that.

You know, you're you're actually focusing on weather models, which to me is fascinating.

I love that.

What we have here today, we're going to play a game called Marshall's Marketplace.

We do this on Fridays and I thought, let's have some fun.

You ready to go, Lane?

Yeah, I'm ready.

Russ, are you ready to go?

This is a very high honor, very high honor.

Yes, I'm ready.

Here we go.

It's Marshall's Marketplace on The Rock 108 Morning Show with your host, Brian Marshall!

So the three items today on Facebook Marketplace all gonna be tied to weather in some way, shape,

or fashion.

Yeah, Russ doesn't like it when I gear it towards the guest here.

I don't.

It gives the guest an immediate advantage.

Oh, you think?

I think.

I don't know.

It seems pretty hard.

All right.

Nothing will exceed $800 today, gentlemen.

Nothing will exceed $800.

And

we

start off with the Twister VHS that's in New London.

The tape has been re-round in the cellophane.

It's in it for display purposes.

The Twister VHS.

To you, Russ.

Nobody has

VHS anymore.

This

is for

display purposes.

It's for display purposes

of the

movie Twista.

Yeah, there's a new Twista that just came out, didn't it?

Yes.

Lane, you're going to the new one today, right?

Yeah, four o'clock.

That's awesome.

Um, this can't be worth more than $7, Lane.

Okay,

so $7.

Do you think higher or lower on this item today, Lane?

I think it's higher.

He thinks it's higher.

Higher is correct.

The second item a storm chaser emergency wireless speaker available in Davenport.

This is new in the box

Storm Chaser Emergency Wireless Speaker, solar charging, hand charging, ultra bright LEDs, instant local alerts, power throughoutages, information and music to you, Russ.

So it's a weather radio.

Yes, but it's a storm chaser emergency wireless speaker.

It's a weather

radio.

It charges, too.

And it's brand new.

Yeah.

In the box.

I hope so.

You have one of

these.

No, you don't.

You don't have a weather radio.

Well, I had one, but this one, I had no idea that these were around.

Good.

All right.

This

uses NOAA alerts.

It has a public alert function.

It has a flashlight.

Because, you know, when you're chasing storms, everybody needs a flashlight.

Well, the power goes out.

Yeah, you need a flashlight.

I'm going to say this can't be worth more than $30.40.

OK, $30.40.

This one to you, Lane, higher or lower than that?

Interesting number right there to add in 40 cents

to it

Lower you think it lower on this.

Oh, yeah, yeah lower incorrect In your face Lane.

Oh geez this one is $70 on Facebook marketplace.

I should I was gonna think about I thought I'd be more expensive because it has that flashlight and stuff

The final item the rubber game of the match and we go to the big item here boys 1940s tornado siren with controller hate your neighbors might I suggest my tornado siren a 1940s to 50s federal model to outdoor warning siren this one in particular sat on top of a pole in Vincent Iowa for 50 plus years he did some restoration built a controller for it runs great and as you might as imagine it's very loud Rusty you

I want this so bad of course you do

Oh, my God.

It's brand new.

I mean, it looks brand new.

It's been fully restored.

It has the red weather resistant domes.

So the rain cascades over it and doesn't affect the performance of the unit, obviously made during the Cold War.

It just has that look.

Has that look of the commies are coming.

Oh, boy.

I'm gonna say the upper limit is eight hundred dollars.

That's correct.

So I'm gonna say they're looking for Seven hundred no five hundred and fifty dollars and ninety eight cents

five fifty ninety eight to you Lane Midwest weather higher or lower to win the game And

carefully think carefully.

Yeah, especially

was he putting eighty nine

cents?

Your professional game show life is on the line Lane

Well, it's been the 1940s, so I don't I don't know um I'm gonna say I'm gonna say Lord Final answer

You scared me now, aren't you?

Yes, he's going final answer incorrect

I beat the kid This one

listed for $750

on Facebook and Marketplace.

That's why the high end was 800 today, gentlemen.

The good news,

Lane, is you get a certificate that says, I lost to Russ at Marshall's Marketplace.

Thank you, Bob.

Thank you for that.

You can, uh, you can frame it and hang it in your room.

More with Lane from Midwest Weather.

The regional forecaster and storm chaser will do that coming up.

Flyly fully alive with the Rock108 Morning Show.

So if you've been following along here today, Lane from Midwest Weather is joining us.

He's got his Facebook page right now, but

What he does with Midwest weather and it's his four year anniversary with Midwest weather today.

This goes out there and it does regional forecast and is damn accurate.

There's a reason for that too, right, Russ?

Yes.

Which if it's his four year anniversary, that means he started the page.

What's 16 minus four?

When I was 12, maybe.

There

you

go.

There you go.

12 years old.

Really?

On

Facebook.

Yeah.

Oh my God.

So you were mentioning kind of off air, and you started to explain it to us, but I want you to explain it to us on the air.

Now, how did you know that Monday was going to turn into what it turned into?

You mentioned a word to me, and I'm gonna screw it up again.

In word jet, flow, what, help me.

There's a lot of flow and weather.

Yeah, it's called the inflow jet.

So into ratios what um a squall line once an inflow jet gets going on the northern edge Then you know that it's not last forever.

I mean that forever, but you know, it's gonna last for hours long.

So the one in 2020 Had a very stout like and not like an inflow knot on the northern side And that's what she rappers got the worst wins and that's why it lasted for it hundreds of miles was because if you get the inflow jet going in feeding feeding into the squall line then it's driving off of very strong

like wind shear and very strong storm energy for storms.

So

wind shear is downward, right?

Some wind shear is that's directional wind shear.

But there's a lot of wind shear components.

Really?

There's more than one wind shear.

Oh, there's like 40 plus.

Yeah,

there's a ton.

So in 2020, in August, when we when we had that wicked derecho, how long before it happened?

Did you know it was going to be at the ratio and did you know the severity?

Um, probably the day before.

Oh, yeah, dude, everyone really I don't know anyone that knew it.

Um, so models didn't even have anything The day before actually if you look at the SPC's outlook So, you know how we were putting a moderate risk on the day and day before we were only in a slight risk Which is like when I was so it's like a normal day in Iowa and then Next morning we upgraded and keep upgrading and then models just

randomly models just randomly showed a Squalenton move through and they did not show a hundred forty one hour one gusts though at all they only showed probably eighty ninety so everyone was shocked that even happened really you were shocked that it happened oh yeah i was definitely i think

we all were

yeah yeah and those those like never happened i mean really had a couple of them ever like on the planet

And so when people hear the word derecho anymore, they think it's gonna be like the one in August and 2020, even though- Right, the derecho is

all the time, right?

Yeah, like when we just had one, it wasn't damaging as the one that was in August.

Do you look

at that and you'd mentioned storm energy and that's something that you can actually measure and how you do that?

Yeah, you

can, but I don't do that, but- Oh, okay.

Not yet, right?

like scientists would do that and then.

Wait a minute, do you have that little weather station on top of your house with the thing that spins and the

meters inside your room?

It's not on top, but I do have one on the road too.

It measures pressure, pressure, and all that.

There's everything with weather really, so.

But it's a bit expensive though.

You know, for a piece of plastic, it's like $200 for them things.

Well, if you want a tornado

siren, it's

$750 on

Marketplace.

But it gives

you

data that

you collect on your computer?

Yes.

Um, and then so like models the how we get the model that guidance is from Like aircraft and satellites that that we throw up into Amazon seems weather balloons from the natural service and that is how he's gonna be launching weather balloons for his house pretty soon.

This is amazing I imagine you're not too hard to shop for birthdays and Christmas Just gets you weather related stuff, right?

Yeah

Yeah, anything anything weather related anything else.

Tickets to twisters today, you know four o'clock, right?

More with Lane from Midwest weather.

Regional forecaster Storm Chaser will have more with him and shallow sides new one filters is coming up next.

Shallow sides latest.

It's called filters featuring Elias and nonpoint on Rock

108.

So we found out during the during the break that Lane from Midwest weather on Facebook.

Huge death metal fan.

Really now Yeah, that's giving stuff is fun Is that why you're so into the like the the storms and such is that you you listen to that and you're like well I know just want to hear it while I'm outside chasing storms, too

Well thing is most of the people chase with don't really like that music I try to play it, but then they're like turn it off.

So I then I can't really play much

speaking of chasing.

There's a big movie this comes out today

Which is fun.

The four year anniversary of Midwest weather on Facebook.

The new twisters movie is out today.

And the first anniversary of being on rock went away.

That's correct.

The inaugural.

You can't say first anniversary, can you?

Or first, you know, you can't say first annual.

That's why it is.

I got you.

But this is out.

What are you thinking about this?

You saw the trailer lane.

Are you, uh, you, you stoked to see this as a storm tracer yourself?

Yeah, I'm really excited.

I hear from other chasers that when they went to go see an IMAX ones at night that they thought it was really good and there was a lot of action.

Is there an

IMAX theater around here?

I have no idea.

I don't think so.

I think you have to go to Des

Moines or something.

So have you ever seen a tornado?

Yeah, I've seen several this year already.

Damn.

Wow.

I want to see one so bad.

I've never seen one.

Yeah, I've seen one day in April, end of April.

I saw about four or five of them at once.

One of them was reading EF, a couple was reading EF three.

It's the day of the Greenfield IOG, tomato two, that one.

You saw the Greenfield one?

No, I didn't see that one, but it was that day and there was several tomatoes and I saw a few of them in South West Iowa.

Reid

Timmer got great video of the Greenfield

one.

Yeah, he's, yeah, but he'd go through it if he wanted to.

He

has to Harvard car.

Yeah.

Is that the goal?

What's your goal?

Yeah, I when I'm older, I want to just storm chase like I want my job to be storm chasing if I can get enough money in return and it'd be nice to build a car like his to I was a truly expensive, but I love to go through stuff like that.

So

that's pretty interesting that

16 year old kid sees his future as storm chasing and making money off storm chasing.

Which is good because that's kind of the new model of how you make money, right?

Yeah.

Making online content.

And this is one of the things that I don't think some people think about is that while storm chasing is a lot of video and such like that, you're ultimately helping out others down the line and in the future to do what?

Forecast nasty

weather.

They get valuable data.

Yeah, absolutely.

And that's part of what you're looking for, right?

Yeah.

And the good thing about nowadays is that we have more technology, so we get a lot more, a lot better models.

So for people that is in the next generation can hopefully, um, can hopefully do what I do if they're interested in weather.

Yeah, they do pretty much know where the tornadoes are coming now,

right?

Yeah.
