🎙️ Welcome back to The Call Flo Show on WFLO AM 870!
It’s New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2025, and Chris Wood is joined by Noah Messarge for a thoughtful, funny, and heartfelt final show of the year. As the calendar turns toward 2026, the conversation drifts from reflections on a wild year to meaningful listener stories, classic Call Flo humor, movie talk, food mishaps, and New Year’s resolutions — all wrapped in that familiar small-town radio warmth.

🌟 Highlights from Today’s Show

🎆 New Year’s Eve Reflections & Looking Ahead to 2026
Chris and Noah open the show talking about the end of 2025 — a year that felt chaotic in many ways — and what they hope the new year might bring. From personal growth to station milestones, they share appreciation for listeners and excitement for what’s ahead.

📞 Henry Calls In with Jokes, Memories & a Christmas Story
Henry checks in to celebrate his 88th birthday, delivering a rapid-fire series of classic wordplay jokes that keep Chris and Noah laughing. He then shares a powerful personal story from Christmas 1975, recalling how his wife Joyce insisted they give their entire Christmas budget to a struggling family — a moment Henry says made that holiday unforgettable and meaningful.

💭 Giving, Gratitude & Perspective
Following Henry’s call, Chris and Noah reflect on generosity, how giving often gives back more than expected, and how motivations matter — whether it’s true kindness or something held “over someone’s head.”

🎥 Sleep, Dreams & Late-Night Radio
Noah talks about listening to old episodes of Art Bell’s Coast to Coast AM to fall asleep, leading to a conversation about vivid dreams, strange dream imagery, and why the mind never seems to rest. Chris shares one of her own especially bizarre dreams — complete with Senate committees and wardrobe panic.

📺 Movies, Nostalgia & Holiday Viewing
Chris discusses seeing Avatar: Fire and Ash at the theater and her love for the franchise, while Noah shares his first-ever full viewing of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, breaking down favorite scenes and why it’s earned its yearly-watch status.

📞 Fred Calls In with Weather Talk & New Year’s Wishes
Fred checks in to wish everyone a Happy New Year, talk about cold temperatures, wind chills, and local news — including a reported funeral home fire. He also shares updates on his wife Carol and reflects on how thankful he is to be feeling better as the year ends.

🐕 Pet Chaos & Kitchen Mishaps
Chris tells a story about her dog stealing frozen stew and retreating to the bed, while Noah admits his cat Jeff inhaled an entire bowl of food — then immediately tried to steal prosciutto. The discussion turns into laughter about pets who would eat endlessly if allowed.

🎂 Birthday & Anniversary Calendar
Noah reads birthdays and anniversaries for December 31, the final day of the year, with reminders on how listeners can submit upcoming celebrations through WFLO.

🍎 Recipe of the Week: Amish Apple Fritter Bread
Chris shares a full recipe walkthrough for Amish Apple Fritter Bread, complete with apple choices, spice combinations, baking tips, and glaze instructions — perfect for ringing in the New Year or starting 2026 with something sweet.

🎯 New Year’s Resolutions & Caller Accountability
The conversation turns to New Year’s resolutions — or not having one at all. Noah talks about fixing his sleep schedule, while a first-time caller (FTC) shares a resolution to be a kinder, gentler person in the year ahead, sparking a thoughtful discussion about internal peace and personal growth.

🎤 Open Mics, Comedy & Facing Fears
Chris encourages stepping outside comfort zones, including Noah’s goal of performing at an open mic in the new year. They talk candidly about fear, bombing on stage, and why most people forget mistakes faster than we think.
