I enjoy. I like it. Holiday gift giving season. We oftentimes try to give people who serve us this time of year tips and presents as well those that we love and care about. Its illegal to give someone who serves you pretty much daily, a present over 20. Can you guess who that would be . Once you said serves you daily is it the mailman . Yes it is. No way. Its the mailman. So they say want to leave a gift for their mailman, but its illegal to leave them cash or a gift card over 20. Can you give them anything else you have to limit the value to 20. You cant give them a cashmere scarf that is worth 100 . No i dont think so. 20 or under interesting. They say you cant give your mail carrier cash or the equivalent such as a gift card at all and any gift you give have to be under 20. Post office says they take the guess work out of the matter for you. Good to know. There was a survey taken for what people prefer at businesses and stores between hearing happy holidays or Merry Christmas. Which do you think won . This is for businesses and stores only . Happy holidays. Merry christmas. Really . Merry christmas. To hear Merry Christmas, 12 prefer a less religious greeting and 45 of americans dont really care. What is funny is if you add up the numbers there is 1 missing in there. Im not sure what that 1 was. [laughter] however. They dont want you to greet them at all. That with from the pew research center. That was strictly for businesses. We asked you on facebook to sound off. We wanted to know do you say in general Merry Christmas or happy dr. Yesterday and said to one of the nurses how is it going, i said happy holidays she said Merry Christmas. I was like oh. Okay. Like telling you dont say it i was trying to be very include everybody in the office regardless of their Merry Christmas you know, christmas has to do with christians and religion so i was trying to be pc i guess she didnt like it. I really dont way unless i think someone might be jewish i wont say Merry Christmas i will just say happy holidays or happy hanukkah. I dont overthink it too much. Most of the times i say Merry Christmas. To my kids and family Close Friends i say Merry Christmas. I think that is true for a lot of us. Soundoff it could get a little heated. A little political. I think so too. What percent of women return buy for them for the holidays. I dont know what the percentage is going to be i bet it will be pretty high. The question is whether they admit or tell them that. I think if they buy them clothes, unless they know its what they want they are almost always going to return it. The most returned Christmas Gift is clothes. Yup. 42 of women return their gifts from their husband. 70 plan to donate one of the gifts from their husband. 13 regift gifts they dont like from their husband. [laughter] i bet guys dont even notice that you are not wearing what you returned or threw away. Then later on they are like hey where is that you are like oh, i think i wore it the other day didnt you see it . Like really really ugly jewelry. Take a picture of yourself in it. Jewelry thats a tough one too. Pony up daddy this cracks me up.

After the break were going to chatt chat with willy porterd Carmen Nickerson about their new album together and what it my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis so i had an important conversation with my dermatologist about humira. He explained that humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. In clinical trials, most adults taking humira were clear or almost clear, and many saw 75 and even 90 clearance in just 4 months. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Ask about humira, the 1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists. . . [ music ] . . Welcome back this is the new album from porter knickerson called bonfire to ash. It compiles the c candid snapsht of the human journey. Were super thrilled to welcome back w Carmen Nickerson to the yellow couch. Great to see you guys. Thanksfor singing for us today we appreciate it. I always feel bad for musicians to have to get up early and sing. You are used to singing at night. You just get a little grittiness in your voice in the morning. When people sound good on a morning show they are really good. [laughter] talk a little bit about your new album and what is going on a new sounds. New sounds were playing tomorrow night at turner hall a whole album of cowrites. Its a culmination of the last five years of working together and so, its um, kind of an organic process and great to have it. Thats cool. What do you really like about the way your music has evolved and maybe your style too . I think carmen brings a certain simplicity and different approach im a guitar player first, i have a tendency to overright the guitar parts and sometimes lose the melody. Through the process of working together with her, the straight communication of it, thats been great. Uhhuh. I like that. What song is your favorite on the album . Um it changes from daytoday there is one i love called plant a garden its different from the its not about really relationships. Except our relationship to the earth. So thats one of my favorite ones. Its fun. There is an amazing cello section that oh, cool. It just getting really gritty. I always wonder if asking musicses especially if they write their music to choose a song is like picking your favorite kid a little bit . Yeah. [laughter] i think your Favorite Song should be the pony up one you d which i will have to post online. Are you hoping santa will bring that for you . The kids are all big. 13 and not sure they are going to want to hop on dads back. You never know. Didnt you say Everybody Needs to be ridden at least once . [laughter] i didnt say that. I thought that was the missing part. You kind of did a little improve like, with that song. We could change it up. We might have to release that. I think the people who created want to get their hands on it. We need royalties for that youre in for half. [laughter] one of the things i love talking to you about is the music scene in milwaukee. Just getting your thoughts about it. I know you are always really positive about it, but how do you feel about it right now at this time . I feel great about it. I think there are a lot of great musicians that are sort of just starting to hit the radar. There are some veterans who are coming back and getting to play a lot. I think there are more and i think there is just some great opportunities. We also have great writers in town who are writing about local music. And really supporting the scene as well. So thats, thats really changed it i say in the last 5 or 6 years. So thats kind of an interesting thing and the town is more of a destination because we have venues of all sizes. A lot of nationals that may have skipped it in the past are coming here. This woman said you guys are from milwaukee . Thats so cool i heard thats such a great place for music. Really . Somebody from another part of the country. That is so cool. One of the things i love it feels like everybody sort of knows each other and you kind of mix and match once in a while. I know you have mike coming to join you for your show coming up and just finding all of these different sounds and personalities to mix and match and play with each other it just seems like a very cohesive community. It is collaborative i agree collaboration is based on that same feeling in the town that you know weve joined forces for now to make a record and it has been a great journey. But we both
