Bad News with Happy Music

HUMP DAY!



As we get over the hump & head towards the weekend, we noticed that there's some snow in the forecast on Sunday!



So, as Frankie Macdonald would say, "BE PREPARED!!!"



In the news this morning, the Governor of California declared a State of Emergency due to the wildfires in L.A., Trump is going to rename the Gulf of Mexico, Facebook is apparently getting rid of "fact-checkers", and a suspect in the attempted homicide in Tomah on Thanksgiving Day was arrested.



In sports, we took a look at the upcoming schedules for the Bucks & the Badgers, and the Wild Card weekend schedule in the NFL. Plus, a check on the coaching carousel. And ICYMI, the WWE is taking the 2026 Royal Rumble to Saudi Arabia!



We let you know what's on TV tonight, and if you're a big fan of "The Shining", you've got a chance to watch it at the Overlook Hotel this year as it celebrates it's 45th Anniversary. And speaking of movie anniversaries, we ran down a list of movies that are turning 50 in 2025!



Elsewhere in movie news, a theater chain is pulling a 7-11 & letting you bring your own bucket to their theaters on January 19th for "National Popcorn Day".



Cool story about a couple of Lions fans who connected over a recent tragedy.



Some food-related stuff today with the Girl Scouts announcing that they'll be discontinuing a few of their cookie flavors after this year, the new McDonald's McValue menu, and Busch beer is offering a few single people the chance to speed-date at "Date-Tona" in February. Also, a look at some of the menu additions to NFL stadiums during the playoffs.



And during today's "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a mom who left her kids in the car while she gambled at a casino, a Hooters waitress that got a DUI, and a 9 year-old in Arizona who got a legitimate tattoo.

HUMP DAY!
