Bad News with Happy Music

Daily Check-Ins

Woke up this morning, still sick.



Ugh. So much coughing! Hopefully another restful day & one more good night's sleep and I'll be back to normal by the weekend.



In the news this morning, Western Wisconsin fire departments are going to be installing free smoke detectors, the La Crosse County committee is holding off on selling land to Country Boom, a St. Croix Country Assistant District Attorney is in trouble for threatening some judges, and a bunch of Tostitos chips are being recalled.



In sports, the Brewers destroyed the Rockies last night, the Bucks take on the Pelicans tonight, Ja Morant has moved on from his finger-gun celebration, and Cody Bellinger of the Yankees is giving up chicken wings for the foreseeable future. And did you see Rory McIlroy's daughter, Poppy, with the putt yesterday?



Elsewhere in sports, a look at some of the other major records that could be broken now that Ovechkin passed Gretzky…and speaking of Gretzky, the Rolls Royce he got as a gift for passing Gordie Howe on the all-time NHL goals list is up for auction.



Wild story & video footage from California yesterday where the wife of Weezer's bassist was shot & arrested by police.



Office Cora joined me to talk about what she's doing this weekend in the 715 and to play a round of "Hypothetical Thursday".



My question for her was: If you could only have one for the rest of your life, would you choose meat or veggies?



Her question for me was: What superpower would you choose?



Another day, another lost dog reunited with it's owner thanks to the kindness & generosity of others. And a student helped to save a teacher's life after they collapsed.



Have you ever worked at a job with background music? Apparently it can be VERY detrimental to your mental health and your productivity at work. Go figure.



A new study found that having a pet makes you as happy as earning an extra $90k/year.



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", a driver-less car got stuck in a Chik-Fil-A drive thru after it malfunctioned, an emergency dispatcher in Georgia is being investigated for ordering some breakfast from McDonald's while on a 911 call, a bunch of pallbearers fell into the burial hole at a cemetery, a mother in Texas who was accused of driving while drunk told the cops that she was on the way to pick up her five-month-old baby…but the baby was already in her backseat, and a foster mom is under investigation for allegedly trying to trade one of her foster kids for an exotic monkey.
