. . Good morning everybody. Happy friday. I cant believe we have a bald eagle in our studio. Were trying to not freak it out so we cant scream too much. That is valcorie she is incredibly beautiful. Something to know about bald eagles they arent really bald. Theyre not. No the because it is white people think they are bald. They dont really think they are bald. Some people think they are. Yes some people do. [laughter] just saying. [laughter] oh, valcorie. Are you turning into your mother molly . Yes i only know this because my brother tells me i am. Its not a good thing. [laughter] she is watching. There when he says it he doesnt mean it in a positive way. Thats all i am saying. The other day i said something it was literally as if i heard my mom coming out of my mouth. They say it is common that in your late 20s early 30s, that that is when you start noticing it and it just goes on from there. Is that the age in these are signs you are turning into your mother. You insist on taking pictures at your kids school play even after they say no pictures. You insist your kids wear a sweater when it is cold outside. You let your husband put a lazy boy in the middle of the room. Thats turning into your grandma. [laughter] as soon as someone walks into the house you ask if they want something to eat. For sure absolutely. Rock stars give you the creeps. Not yet. For me they do. They do . Or anybody like, talking about someone who has had like a bad, like when we were talking relationship, his relations, it grossed me out. I just didnt find him attractive. You have caught yourself warning about someone poking an eye out . For sure. Poking an eye out and anybody choking. I walked in my boyfriends place the other day i said hello, exactly how my mom says it. And it freaked him out he was like you sound identical to your mother. I said hello, hello. Thats mom says it. Did he mean it in a positive way. He is like i love your mother, but you got to watch yourself. He said, but thats not positive. He doesnt want to kiss i mean make out with my mom. At least i hope not. Half of us think this is inappropriate until the third date. What do you think it is . Um, a lot of things, kissing . No. I dont know. You dont really think that. No i dont. You asked me what do a majority of people think . You dont think a majority of people dont kiss until the third date do you it . I dont know does that sound, i dont know. Talking about politics. Tis the season right . I dont think you should do that until youre married hahnistly. You should honestly. You should probably do it before you get married. Thats a devicive subject i like it. Molly faye turning into your mother every day . I hear her all the time in the makeup room. Is that you or your mom . Hilarious. That is so funny i love it. I thought she was dropping an animal there. Before we take a nature break how about a look at todays arts cameras plus picture of the day. They heard us talking about them. This one will really move you. Viewer cathy from Hales Corners moraine area she stumbled upon old world wisconsin she had never been there. One cow is saying mooove over or something. It looks like they are sharing secrets. I like that. Thats cute. First up today i love animal facts already shared one of the bald eagle not being bald. Since we have a bald eagle i thought it would beun this one about our symbol of america. They are pretty romantic. I think this is adorable they also share parenting duties. In fact male and female eagles take turns ink baiting eggs and, they both feed their young. I love that like penguins. Penguins mate for life too thats why i love them so much. Lindsay obermeier is with the raptor education group. Shes with the schlitz Audubon Nature center. We have all of the details on that too. Im so excited thank you. I asked if i could take the bald eagle home for a night you said no. They dont make good pets at all. Its nice to leave them at work. Is it true it is your birthday today . Its my birthday. Its a great way to celebrate. Well get you a mug. A yellow mug for your birthday. How about that . [laughter] walk us through the birds i want to get to know the birds right away and a about why you have them at the schlitz Audubon Nature center. At schlitz Audubon Nature center we have 16 birds of prey that live with us. They cannot be released out into the wild they wouldnt survive. Why in the . For some reason or why not . For some reason or another most of it is injuries. The bald eagle we have today, very magnificent, a 5yearold she cannot be in the wild because she never learned how to hunt from her parents. How do you know that . She was seen out in the wild not asking nicely for food so she has to stay in captivity with us. She was hunting people food . She was hunting peoples sandwiches which is not good. Girl i love you, shes like my spirit animal. Her par parents shirked their responsibility huh . That is something that happens in the wild. Its really luck we are able to have her. Its our fall we good sandwiches. Oh, shes talking to us. She thought that was funny. Shes laughing at our jokes. I love that. Lets talk about you have an owl. Beautiful owl. Thank you this is oarian our 17yearold bard owl. He is beautiful. He is fantastic. Owls are just amazing creatures and so this particular guy, lives at schlitz Audubon Nature he knows how to take care of himself, but he would prefer that people feed him. I think i have asked this before, how do you know, their head turns sometimes it looks like it can go all the way around. Oh, look at it. Like r2d2. It is three fourths of the way around. It does look like t it just pooped too in in our studio. Hes making it his own. Now im kind of over the little one. Thats so cute the handler was what are you talking about . Our most striking little falcon that is mallory. Our female. Those little birds can move faster than cheetahs. Stop it. They can dive up to speeds of thats like a pitcher in the world series is like 90 miles per hour. Over. What kind of bird is that again . An american castrel which is a small falcon. Is she native to this area . She was found they thought she was sick she was very very young and some people tried to make her better in that process she imprinted on people so she relates to people. A lot of t birds that arent flying or things like that and you want to go up and help them what is the best thing you should do . The best thing you should do is call your local wildlife rehabilitator and here in milwaukee its at the humane society. And they are properly licensed and trained to take care of injured animals. Woe. You know, the bald eagle is making that sound and one of the things i read about them is that hollywood often dubs over their screech because they find it not not powerful enough. Yeah they are kind of wimpy a little embarrassing. Oftentimes they will use the scream of the red tail hawk. Really . Yes its very wildernessy. They use that instead of the bald eagle call. What does she want when she is talking like that . Shes just reminding everyone she is alpha she is here and in the house. Is that true that some people think that bald eagles are bald . It is a misconception. See. In old white headed so its fully appropriate. They saw that eagle and said thats a bald eagle. Is her white hair dirty or is that natural color . That is natural. When they are young under the age of 3 they are background head to toe. Shes going through these changes so she still has those dark low lights. Going through the change. Shes 5. In maybe one more year shell have the bright head. How long do they live . Shes be with for a long time. Out of captivity some can live in their late 30s or so . The oldest was 38. That was very extreme oftentimes it is mid20s. Do you think she can see herself in the camera like when were taking those tight shots like right now do you think she can see it. Im sure she can i dont think it bothers her. Shes beautiful. Bald eagles are they solo animals i always think of them by themselves. Go depending on the time of year. Duringes mate. Then coming up, in wintertime when the water freezes over they will start to congregate in bigger flocks around open water. I love it when you guys are here. We learn so many interesting facts about animals. You have this amazing event coming up. Im sorry we need to talk about it. Tomorrow, extreme raptor day. At schlitz Audubon Nature center. Adults just 10. Kids 5. Adventure hike, a free flight raptor show. A jamboree, owl pelletdy section. Weve got some on the floor. [laughter] we can dissect that. Come to the studio. Can you get your picture take within a raptor too which is so cool. Who wouldnt want to do that. Do you feed her sandwiches . Not at all she gets a really well rounded raptor diet. That is exciting. What are the hours at schlitz Audubon Nature center . Tomorrow it you can take the adventure hike can you see all of our 16 birds on the trails. Now i can really say i do eat like a bird. Sandwiches. Thank you to all of the handlers so often you are all here. Tiffany did offend ehe little bird, but thats all right. Sorry buddy. Loved having you here. Thank you so much and happy birthday.

Thats right we are back with our super hero film critic and the bald eagle still in the background. The nationally syndicated film critic ryan jay. Welcome back ryan. I want to be a if it is anything like dr. Strange, my god. My new favorite super hero. Really . Yes. I didnt think you were going to say that. Benedict cumberbatch plays dr. Strange he is a wizard harry. He is a sorcerer. It is not like typical marvel universe movies its more of a fantasy action film and i loved it. You did lets talk about who else is in it . We also have rachel mcadams. Love her. She plays the ancient one. Comic book geeks are upset because in the comics that character is depicted differently, but shes so strong in this movie i loved it. I feel like super hero movies have to have awesome effects how are these . Phenomenal. Thats cool. Not only in the action sequences you are getting so much magic. You are seeing magic to develop character and stories. There are affects brimming throughout this film i was obsessed. Wha you feel about that . I wasnt familiar because i dont read the comics hes not that scary i looked like he jumped out of a my little pony cartoon. Hes not so scary, but i still enjoyed him i loved the color and everything. Were so oversaturated with super hero movies its hard for anything to stand out, but this is brilliant. See it i loved it. I think its a fantastic movie worth seeing. All right. See it. Okay. What about trolls . Right now arent we . Benedict cumberbatch, dr. Strange announced Something Special for this film where Marvel Studios is going to donate 5 up to 1 million for everyone who take as photo doing their super hero pose. We did with my movie club.

Remember like in the 90s remember the lips in the butt. They always had a jewel in the stomach. Building on the familiarity of the figurines there is a smurf like spin its really fun. Thats fantastic. In terms of the look i think people think they are so cute how did you feel about the overall look . It is candy colored. That shock rainbow hair. Some are glittery and they spew glitter. The texture is so wheldon it is almost like you could touch them and they would feel like a muppet soft or something i really loved that. I want to find my old ones now. How is the sound track in this . So good. Justin timberlake, Anna Kendrick cant stop the feeling is in this movie. Original songs. Music. This is the kind of movie for 90 minutes you will sit and be so happy for 90 minutes regardless of whether or not you have kids maybe your kids are grown and out of the house. Maybe you are an adult and havent been to an animated in a long time this is the movie to go back and see and enjoy animation again. Its a see it its wonderful. I want to eat candy. Its available in both. Lets move to moonlight. This is a indy film has a l season. Its a different story, but eveu if cant identify with the situation you will be able to emotionally relate to what the character is going through. I dont, i have not heard anything about this so what are the themes . What is the situation . Its about a Young African american man in miami, and its a coming of age story it deals with loneliness and bullying. He has a drug addicted single mother, sexuality and more. What is so brilliant about this film how it gets you to identify with a character that is music is so with the story it is Classical Music taking place in a contemporary, no way. It works together so well. I recently interviewed the composer who also did 12 years a slave and that interview is exclusively on my website he is fantastic, nick britell the score you will love. I think that is genius putting Classical Music with this modern film. Very creative. Yeah not stereotypical which is great. Its in three parts. I than the third. You get him in childhood,e adolescence then young adulthood. If you are into indy see it. Im always interested in casting when they do that. I think it is fascinating to see who they chose as older versions. Give away you always bring something. New on bluray and dvd is bad moms. Its available now. I have got to see that. You have got to see it you will love it its so you. Moms, but one lucky winner i have a bunch of copies to give away one lucky winner will get this gift basket that has wine glasses and pinot, chocolates express on moms bad moms nails go to my website to win that. I like it. Everybody loved your dr. Strange movie club do you have another one coming up . Wednesday november 9. Its the edge of 17 one of my favorite movies of the year.

You can like ryan jay on Facebook Page and rave about him. Thank you. Great to see you. That would be good for myself esteem. Everybody needs a good raving now and then. Happy friday ryan thanks for being here. Still ahead on the show the important warning signs someone is thinking about suicide. Up next aye matey. Well tell you about the high seas adventure featuring some of the most famous pirates in history. History. An economy rigged for the wealthy. And ron johnsons made it worse. Ut, then went to washington and voted to protect Corporate Tax loopholes for companies shipping wisconsin jobs overseas, supported privatizing social security, which would hand billions to wall street, and wants to eliminate the federal minimum wage. Senator johnson works for wall street, not us. Senate majority pac is responsible and welcome back. This weekend and next, you can check out the world premier of the female pirate adventure bonnie and bonnie. The production is a joint adventure between theater red and Wisconsin Lutheran College. Theater red was created with three goals to provide substantial roles for women, education and training for artists play rights. Here to tell us more about this new pirate adventure is the play right, liz shipe, the cofounder of theater red, marcee dohertyelst and jessica schultz, a student at Wisconsin Lutheran College and an actor in the show playing lila adams welcome to the Morning Blend all of you. Thank you so much. Thanks for being here. I think this is so exciting i love it when you guys are here. We have the roles for women on stage and off. Female play right liz. Shes written this play and it is making its world premier in milwaukee. The growth and craft for artists the actors all went through training in stage combat. Sword fighting, unarmed cat and also went on board a ship and learned about sailing in preparation to set sail on our stage. I think the fact that you went and did this discovery of real life to prepare for stage life really adds a lot of depth to the characters and what are you doing on stage. How historically well, because one of the biggest missions of theatre red is to create more substantial roles for women i started to write the show, this is an era in time when women didnt do a lot on pirate ships. It was trying to open different avenues for women to have characters in the show which meant that some of the historical accuracy kind of went out the window. [laughter] so think of it more in terms of brave hart, or a knights historically accurate thing you will see. There are a lot of little bits and gems that are historically accurate for people that would know what that is and be impressed to see those. Jessica you played lila. Tell us about your character. Shes very innocent, she wants to be a pirate. Thats her dream. And she gets that chance and she wants to prove herself and shes really fun to play. I love being lila. A anne bonnie . She looks up to anne bonnie a lot. She wants to be like anne bonnie. She kind of tries to do that throughout the play, but she realizes in the end thats not quite w
