Three things to do in & around La Crosse this

A full five days of work this week, but having a concert to look forward to made it all worthwhile!

We started the week off with the "Monday Morning Throwback" and Brian admitted that he realized he's a step below being a sadist.

Our Monday edition of "Bad News with Happy Music" included stories about some idiots putting a baby elk in the back of their vehicle, a McDonald's customer that ordered a chicken sandwich BEFORE trying to rob the store, an unruly airplane passenger that broke out of their restraints, a Sonic drive-thru employee that dropped their cocaine in someone's order, and a German tattoo artist going viral for a guy's back tattoo.

We talked about "Gooch Grease", and discussed whether or not pineapples are trying to eat us. We talked about our favorite road trip snacks, and took the "Two beers & a puppy" test.

Our Tuesday edition of "Bad News with Happy Music" included stories about a stolen school bus, a couple of hitman stories, a guy who tried to rob a store with a box on his head, and an Australian bar that got in some hot water over a free-drink promotion.

Shaw aced this week's "You're Killin' Me, Shaws" and another $10 of Brian's Morning-Show money ended up going to the Rock Foundation.

On our Wednesday edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a Ron Burgundy wannabe that was arrested TWICE in the same day, a senior prank involving toilets & concrete, a woman who "accidentally" put some Super Glue in her eye, a man who was breaking into people's homes to steal USED sex toys to give as birthday presents to his friends, and a couple of witches who were caught on camera eating a deer carcass.

We learned that sharks are EVERYWHERE, and we hooked you up with a new list of things to do in & around La Crosse this weekend!

The one with cannibal pineapples

Back in 2015, we had a LOT of road construction projects happening in La Crosse. No different than any other year, really.

But it did feel like we had a lot more that year than any other previous year.

So, we decided to play a round of "Open Or Closed - La Crosse Streets edition"

Shaw did pretty well! And if you're looking to see what roads are getting worked on now, click here. Or if you want to see what projects the city has in store, click here.

A short week with the holiday on Monday, but we still managed to pack a lot of stuff in four days of work.

We learned that Shaw bought a moped over the weekend, and we also learned a new, Gen-Z term. "Bed Rotting".

On the Tuesday edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about casinos in Vegas paying out less, a woman who won a cheese-rolling competition even though she was knocked unconscious, a drive-thru employee who had milk thrown on them, a kid who swallowed FORTY pieces of gum, and an 85 year old guy who tried to steal some condoms.

We talked about Swifties suffering from post-concert amnesia after seeing Taylor Swift, and we discussed Cellphone Zombies!

On the Wednesday edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about some sunglasses left on the dash of a car that did some serious damage, the seaweed in Florida has a flesh-eating pathogen, and a woman who assaulted a flight attendant & opened the plane door!

Plus, a couple of very funny stories about pranking a principal, and a Dad who embarrassed his kid on the last day of school.

We had a list of things to look forward to in the month of June, and on our Thursday edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a pig that fell off the back of a truck, an escaped inmate who was captured after he tried to get a $1 burger at McDonald's, more info on the person found dead in an Arby's freezer, a car that hit a house & sent the fridge flying through the other side into the neighbor's yard, and a moron who used a Nintendo Duck Hunt gun to commit a robbery.

Also, a great story about a kid who got a full ride to college, and a new list of things to do in & around La Crosse this weekend!
