Back in 2013, the City of La Crosse, in it's infinite wisdom, once again changed it's rules regarding snow removal on sidewalks.

And instead of enraging Brian, it really got to Shaw, who received a warning after a very light snow.

Bad News with Happy Music - stolen car/prison

What a week! We kicked things off with the Monday Morning Throwback, and a discussion about the Hambone Awards for odd insurance claims on household pets.

On Monday's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had a #FloridaWoman who left her kid in a running car to go for a swim in the ocean to "meet sharks", another shark story - a bunch of vacationers tried to save a shark that had beached itself, an airline that forgot ALL the luggage at the airport, and the La Quinta Inn that didn't have anyone working.

We had another Karen on a plane, and some hippie from Canada trying to convince people that they don't need glasses, just some of her essential oils.

On Tuesday's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had a couple of bear stories...the first was some hungry bears in Alaska that broke into a Krispy Kreme delivery van to steal some donuts, and a bear that got into Disney World & shut the park down for awhile. We also had a story about a DoorDash driver who got pissed at how long her order was taking, so she started fighting EVERYONE, and a naked Bills fan who ended up stuck in a pipe...covered in human shit.

Remember Miss South Carolina from 2007? Well, we like to play her audio whenever Shaw has a story involving maps...and Brian took a deeper dive on her stumbling answer this week. Plus, the Hallmark Channel apparently has FORTY new holiday-themed movies ready to go for this upcoming Christmas season.

On Wednesday's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy who got stabbed and then pulled the knife out & stabbed his attacker with it, a #FloridaMan who was setting fire to police cars in Michigan, a couple of #FloridaWomen who were drunk & tossing a baby around outisde the bar, a #FloridaMan who was dating his own cousin, and an idiot who tried to fake his own death in a kayak accident.

Friday morning we talked about a new trend from China that has women adding fake belly buttons to make their legs look longer, and we hooked you up with a new list of things to do in & around La Crosse this weekend!

On Friday's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a pair of young siblings who took their mother's car for a joyride, a prison in Venezuela that had a nightclub...a pool...a zoo...and more! And we talked about the scumbag who claimed he had terminal cancer so he could raise money to play poker.

The one with a prison zoo

Back in 2013, legendary Poison singer, Bret Michaels was going to perform at Oktoberfest in La Crosse.

A few weeks before his show at Fest, we were scheduled to interview Bret, but missed his call. He left Brian a very nice voicemail, and Jean decided to play a Bret Michaels edition of "Fact or Bullcrap" since they were obviously BFFs.

Brian didn't fare too well, only answering 1/2 of the questions correctly.

A full five days of the Sickness this week after last week's holiday. We kicked things off with the "Monday Morning Throwback" and we talked to this year's bike winner, Aaron Balow of Holmen. 

On Monday's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a tow truck driver who was allegedly drunk when he crashed into FOURTEEN cars while towing another vehicle, a guy who spent almost three hours reeling in a 283lb alligator gar, and a woman who left her kids locked in a car without any air conditioning who then asked for the officers who arrested her to turn on the AC in the cruiser.

Tuesday morning we discussed some corporate buzzwords/phrases that we find annoying, and we talked about the guy who bought a bunch of incandescent light bulbs now that they've been banned.

On Tuesday's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy who chased some kids in a car only to realize one of them was his neighbor, a #FloridaMan who stole an excavator & crashed it into a Walmart, a couple who got busted joining the "Mile-High Club", and a candidate in Virginia who performed sex acts on her husband on various websites to raise money for her campaign.

We got you over the hump on Wednesday with an emotional story about two 90 year-old sisters who said goodbye to one another for possibly the final time. We also talked about the AI robots that showed up at a recent NFL game.

On Wednesday's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a woman who set a fire in a Target to cover up her attempt to steal baby formula, a plane that had to make an emergency landing but did a terrible job taking care of it's passengers, a wild & drunken brawl at a wedding in Rhode Island, and a construction sign that got hacked.

On Thursday, we discussed the weirdest ways people have earned some cash, and on Thursday's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about surfer who got bit on the HEAD by a shark, the Mexican alien remains, a Canadian woman who twerked at a Mountie, and got an update on the Virginia candidate who is performing sex acts online to raise money for her campaign.

And of course, a new list of things to do in & around La Crosse this weekend.
