Daily Check-Ins

Another really nice day in the Coulee Region with a high of 84° expected. Gonna be warmer on Friday & Saturday with highs nearing 90°.



As we usually do on Thursdays, we kicked things off with the "Thursday Song" and we talked to Office Cora to see what she's up to this weekend in the 715!



We also asked each other hypothetical questions on "Hypothetical Thursday"…with Jean's question for Brian being: "If you were a teacher, what subject would you teach?"



And Brian's question for Jean was: "If you could choose one magic item to use for the rest of your life, which would you take?"



In the news this morning, the La Crosse City council will vote on a possible $144,000 settlement for a man that was run over by a police squad car in September of 2024, a trial date has been set for Josie Dikeman, Governor Evers asks for FEMA support in the wake of the recent flooding in the Milwaukee area, and the latest on "Frankenstein" rabbits that are being spotted in Colorado.



In sports, the Brewers remain red hot by beating the Pirates again yesterday & triggering the "Free Burgers" promotion at George Webb restaurants in Milwaukee. We looked at the NFL's week 2 preseason schedule, and we talked about a couple of NBA teams that are getting sold, including the Boston Celtics & the Portland Trailblazers.



And speaking of teams getting sold, it looks like the Minnesota Twins are no longer up for sale! Elsewhere in sports, NASCAR has decided NOT to limit celebrations in victory lane after the Connor Zilisch injury last weekend, and speaking of injuries….apparently Matthew Stafford is battling against his bad back with an "Ammortal Chamber".



We had a new "Karen of the Day" who was very upset about people using a public beach, and we also ran some audio from our recent interview with Shaun McCoy of "Blood Ocean" and formerly "Bobaflex". His new band has some new music coming out this week and you can hear our interview and the new tune right here.



Cool story about a cancer survivor who paid it forward by purchasing parking passes for other people who are battling the deadly disease. A woman who works as a custodian at Texas A&M while raising her four children just got four different college degrees, and a kid who really wanted to play baseball got a very special kidney transplant.



We let you know what's on TV today/tonight and we checked out the trailer for the upcoming documentary on Charlie Sheen!



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about some kids who stole a train by watching YouTube videos on how to operate it, a woman who got drunk and upset at her phone and decided to try and shoot it with her gun, a man who was left in his reclining chair for months by his daughter and ended up with necrosis & maggots in his flesh, a passenger in an F-15 who accidentally hit the "eject" button while the plane was on the ground, and a guy in England who broke his arm because of his massive penis.
