Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's WSRZ. We would love a talk back from you
this morning. Did we just play some John Mellencamp?

Speaker 2 (00:08):
We sure did.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
And a little birdie told us, that was a bird,
we may or may not have some Mellencamp tickets to
see him live.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
A little birdie or maybe a cougar told us. Either way. Okay.
I have such ADD this morning. You just did a
bird call. Not your best.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
I heard a video and I saw a video. Say less.
You know this kid?

Speaker 2 (00:35):
I've seen this kid.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
He's wearing like a greenish shirt with a bunch of
birds on it.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
He is a savant when it comes to doing bird noises.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
There are sounds that comes out of this kid's mouth.
What would you say he is, like 12, 13?

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Yeah, I was going to say he's a teenager at least.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
And we got to play some of them. You're not
going to believe these sounds are coming out of a human.
And he's gone viral, like tens if not hundreds of
millions of views. And he's doing bird calls, Meredith.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
It's crazy. It is wild. And he does all the birds.
It's not just like, oh, I can do an owl,
listen to this. All the birds.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
It is incredible. I thought he was good when he
did the hawk. He bends over and he's like, and
I'm like, I think I could do that. Then he
goes into these weirder birds. Just amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Dude, kid doing bird. That's all I had to put
in Google. 40,000 videos came up.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
I'm telling you, he's amazing. We'll play some of those
coming up. We have your hurry up. All right, we
promised you this kid. If you haven't seen him, Look
it up. One Google search will bring up 20 videos
of kid doing bird calls.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
His name is Samuel.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
And I'm going to share this first part of a
CBS report.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
It calls him 11. He's actually 12.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
But here we go.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
You've got to check this out.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
All right. Here he goes. It's not a bird. It's
a plain old kid with a special talent. Here's Steve Hartman.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
That is not a blue jay you're hearing, not a robin,
nor a tufted titmouse. Those sounds are all coming from
a Samuel, an 11-year-old Samuel Henderson.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
I actually quite enjoy this. Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
12 years old.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
They said he has 114 of these.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Bird calls or bird impressions.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yes. Okay. The reporter there, he wanted to make the pun,
but this kid is not a plane. It's a bird.
It's a plane. I see. So here's a few more.
He did a video and it had millions, probably tens
of millions by now. And he starts off, it's brilliant
because he starts off slow with impressions that i think

(02:54):
like you know some of us sure then he goes
into what you just heard some of these crazy sounds
comes out of this kid's mouth.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
This is bird request part.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Two That's the way he starts his videos.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Insane.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
And he leans back when he does that call.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
When you watch it, it's like watching a ventriloquist.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Some of these whistles come out of his face and
he's barely moving.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
It's awesome.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
If he was on America's Got Talent, golden buzzer, without
a doubt.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Let's get started. First, we get the bar now. Next,
the ring neck dove.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
We've all heard that right.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
It's crazy good there's more get to the hawks get to.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
The oh yeah that's the american woodcock.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
And you know there's two different species of crows in
the united states the fish crow and the american crow
the fish crow is what i'm going to do first.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Now this one is going to blow your mind.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
I didn't mean hawks.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
I meant crow.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
This one is crazy.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Then the American crow.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Sorry.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Atlantic puffin.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
That's what a puffin sounds like.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
That's the purple marten.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
How?

Speaker 3 (04:26):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
How does this kid do this?

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Whippoorwill.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
And keep up the good keep up the request guys
so he is going to be so famous because Just,
what was that, like 10 maybe?

Speaker 3 (04:45):
Yes, he has 114 as of right now.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
It's great.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
I just hope all of these bird groups have him
come speak and do stuff.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
I hope he can.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
Make a living with this talent so he can have
care the rest of his life too.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Without a doubt. My wife had a great idea. She's
going to get her bird app.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yes, my mom has that app.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
And see if they identify what he's doing. I can
almost guarantee it's spot on.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
It is so, I love the crows.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
It sounds like I can just, it's like I'm watching
a movie or listening to a movie.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
And when he does that, when he bends over and
it's like, ah!

Speaker 2 (05:21):
You have to watch these.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
So great.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Well, here's the deal. We're distracted because we just went
through 19 thoughts getting ready for the brain game. In fact,
I'm going to go back in time. We used to
have an open for this that is long gone. In radio,
we had these things called carts. They were basically glorified
eight tracks that you would put in, and they would

(05:53):
cue up automatically. And the brain game open was on
one of those. Oh, yeah. This is so many decades ago.
But it was basically the name game by Shirley Ellis.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Banana, fanna, fo' fanna.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yes. For a youngster, I'm impressed you know that.

cap and board is in the answer. Okay.
