Lawn cleaned up. All the lights are up. Time for a cocktail!



Got a lot done yesterday afternoon and I'm ready to cruise into the weekend.



One week away from Thanksgiving & I'm already dreaming about that crockpot mac-n-cheese!!!!



In the news this morning, President Trump signed the bill directing the DOJ to release all of the Epstein files, a bill that would have partly legalized online sports betting in WI was pulled at the last minute, Taco Bell is adding three fan-created items to their menus, and now that pennies are no longer being produced…should we get rid of ALL coins?



In sports, the Bucks play the 76ers tonight, Badger men's basketball has a tough test tomorrow afternoon against #9 BYU, the football team is at home against #21 Illinois on Saturday, Week 12 in the NFL kicks off tonight with the Bills & Texans on Thursday Night Football, Brandon Woodruff is going to be back with the Brew Crew next season, and the Brewers are going to be taking on the Braves in the 2026 MLB Little League Classic!



Elsewhere in sports, Major League Baseball announced some new media deals yesterday with ESPN & Netflix, the "Field of Dreams" game is returning next season, and an update on the Patrick Beverly case.



Let you know what's on TV today/tonight and also discussed a documentary about the rise & fall of Susan Powter(STOP THE INSANITY!!!!!!!!!).



Plus…have you ever heard a song featuring both Ozzy & Madonna??? Well, now you have.



As I mentioned, Thanksgiving is one week from today, and in today's Thanksgiving news - the best & worst days to travel…and the cost per person for Thanksgiving dinner.



Office Cora joined me just after 8am and let me know what she's up to this weekend in the 715. And even though Jean is still in Europe, it's "Hypothetical Thursday", and my question for you was: "What's one thing you can never have enough of?".



Cora's question for me was: "Would you hug more people if hugs burned calories?"



An animal sanctuary in Utah recently saved a great horned owl that fell into a cement mixer, and a bunch of college students at the University of Texas might have helped solve a murder case from 1991!



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a drunk #FloridaMan who was trying to claim he had a medical issue(that he couldn't pronounce), an A.I. teddy bear that got removed from an online store after it was graphically describing BDSM and where to get knives, a United Airlines flight that returned to St. Louis because of a bomb threat, & a business that hired a guy to play Santa at their store without knowing that he had murdered his wife years before.
