Daily Check-Ins

Got my truck washed yesterday. The massive pile of snow at the end of my driveway is basically gone now, and all the dog shit in my backyard that was once hidden by snow is now visible.



Gonna work on that later today.



In the news this morning, Nick Reiner gets officially charged for the murder of his parents, the massive Powerball jackpot could be won tonight, President Donald Trump will deliver a speech from the Oval Office tonight, and a recall on Danone ice cream.



In sports, a look at the Week 16 NFL schedule, the Bucks play tomorrow night at home against the Raptors, the Badger men's basketball team is off until Friday, the Badger women's volleyball team plays tomorrow night in the Final Four, and a look at today's Bowl Games.



We let you know what's on TV today/tonight and talked about yesterday's trailer release for Steven Spielberg's new UFO movie.



The hero of the Bondi Beach shooting tragedy is still recovering from his injuries, and a GoFundMe to support him just passed the $2 million mark. Firefighters in Arizona recently saved a dog who got stuck in a canal. And check out this dude's world-record snow globe collection!



Elsewhere in sports, the man who drove through a crowd of Liverpool fans during a victory parade gets sentenced, a high school basketball coach calls it quits because of the parents of his players, and Mick Foley parts ways with the WWE over their relationship with President Trump.



Christmas is now eight days away and we talked about WalletHub's list of the "Best Cities To Celebrate Christmas". We also looked at another list of the "Best Holiday Songs" and Brian came up with his own top ten:



1 - Wham - "Last Christmas"
2 - Brenda Lee - "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree"
3 - Bobby Helms - "Jingle Bell Rock"
4 - Bing Crosby - "White Christmas"
5 - Burl Ives - "A Holly, Jolly Christmas"
6 - Run DMC - "Christmas in Hollis"
7 - The Waitresses - "Christmas Wrapping"
8 - Gene Autry - "Here Comes Santa Claus"
9 - Darlene Love - "Christmas(Baby Please Come Home)"
10 - Augie Rios - "Donde Esta Santa Claus"



With family & friends coming over to visit and possible stay at your house, is there a point when someone can overstay their welcome?



After Jean finally picked more correct than Brian during Week 15 of the NFL season, we made our Week 16 Pigskin Picks just after 8am!



A new dating trend is making it's way across the internet. Apparently, some people are letting their parents run their profiles on various dating apps.



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaWoman who stole a U-Haul truck to go to a previous hearing at court, a woman in California who claims a delivery driver stole her cat off her front porch, a woman who claims she's getting backlash for purchasing "Angel Tree" gifts from a dollar store, and a guy in Denver who took a naked joyride in a cop car.
