MASSIVE show as we get ready to wrap it up until next Monday. We had Doc in studio this morning for his annual Oktoberfest Races Report & ticket giveaway thanks to County Materials in Holmen & Eau Claire...and Tyler was in studio as well to once again help Jean make her Pigskin Picks!

In the news this morning, the fallout from President Trump's comments about L.A. and San Deigo yesterday, a recall on rechargeable hand-warmers, Christa Pike wakes up after two failed executions, a woman in Milwuakee walked into a school and faked being a substitute teacher for several periods before being escorted out, and a shooting suspect is arrested in La Crosse along with his mother & brother.

In sports, both National League Division series resumed last night, a look at today's MLB schedule, Week 5 in the NFL gets underway tomorrow night on Prime, the WNBA playoffs continue tonight with a couple of games, Lane Johnson announces his immediate retirement from the league, the NFL Referee Association is pushing back on the recent suspensions handed down by the league, and Lionel Messi goes out in style in his final international game.

We discussed what's on TV & streaming today/tonight. Plus, with "Avengers: Doomsday" coming out in December, more & more brands are teaming up for product launches...including Dunkin Donuts. And the latest on the Sebastian Maniscalco controversy at SiriusXM radio.

In the good news department, we had a story about some mountain bikers in NH who helped rescue a horse that had become stuck in some deep mud, and a hospital valet in Buffalo gets a nice surprise after being an uplifting inspiration for cancer patients.

Today is "One Gotta Go Wednesday" and in honor of John "The Cougar" Mellencamp's 75th Birthday, we played a Mellencamp songs-edition: Jack & Diane...Pink Houses...Small Town...or Hurts So Good. Which one are you getting rid of forever?

And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a 67 year-old woman in Indiana who was doing drunken donuts on the courthouse lawn, a #FloridaMan who dressed up as an ICE agent & trying to intimidate voters was arrested, a woman is suing a popular bar in Vegas after she allegedly got injured by a mechanical penis, and another #FloridaMan who was showing naked pictures of himself doing the "helicopter" with his penis.
