Bad News with Happy Music

Daily Check-Ins

Friday is finally here and the warmer temps are on the way this weekend. Back into the 70's on Sunday!



In the news this morning, a $2 million-winning Powerball ticket was recently sold in Sparta, a recall on certain Thermos containers, Britney Spears gets charged for driving under the influence, an update on Ving Rhames…who collapsed at a restaurant yesterday…and a list of which states allow you to get an "ASSMAN" license plate.



In sports, the Brewers destroyed the D-Backs to take two out of three from Arizona, a look at last night's NBA & NHL playoff action and a peek at tonight's schedule, the latest on the LIV Golf league, and Lukas Van Ness gets his fifth-year option picked up by the Packers.



We talked about what's on the boob-tube this weekend and what's new on the big screen this weekend. Plus, another TV star from the 90's is revealing how much money she makes on residuals from her hit show.



Elsewhere in sports, a wild story is developing around the death of NASCAR legend Greg Biffle, and with the Kentucky Derby tomorrow, we looked at how they name the horses…and ran down a list of some of the most interesting names in Derby history.



Speaking of lists…today is May 1st, so we hooked you up with a list of things to look forward in the next month…including what's going to be in theaters, new TV shows, major sporting events, and the holidays!



Doc joined us to talk NASCAR racing just after 8am thanks to County Materials in Holmen & Eau Claire.



We also got an update on Ed Bambas…the guy who was working full-time at a grocery store after retiring from his GM job.



Plus, a new "Karen of the Day"!



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a stolen fire truck, a JP Morgan executive who is accused of sexually abusing a male subordinate, a popular streamer gets run over by a car while walking across the country, and a former Chick-Fil-A employee in Texas allegedly stole $80,000 by faking mac-n-cheese orders!
