Bad News with Happy Music/Daily Check-Ins

Welcome to Oktoberfest week!



We're back in the studio this morning, but on Friday we'll be live at the State Room in downtown La Crosse for our 18th annual Kick-off to Oktoberfest!



In the news this morning, the latest on the suicide attempt by Carrot Top, Converse has to pull an ad & apologize, several news organizations are banned from the White House, ICE agents shoot & injure a man in Austin, RIP to Duncan Sheik & Chad Gilbert of New Found Glory, and President Trump post a poll about renaming A.I.



In sports, the Brewers complete the sweep of the Orioles over the weekend, the Packers come from behind to beat the Jets in overtime yesterday, the Vikings beat the Bears after Caleb Williams went out with an injury, the latest on the injuries to Jaylen Reed & Jayden Daniels, and the Badgers get a big win on Saturday.



We talked about what's on TV & streaming today/tonight. And a new "Halloween" game is being banned in Australia.



Cool story about a 48 year-old guy making his college football debut, a girl is helping victims of house fires by fixing up stuffed animals from second-hand stores, a pelican in need of assistance comes knocking on a door, and a trumpet player's instrument stops working during the playing of the National Anthem...so he continues by singing the Anthem instead!



A list of everyday phrases that could sound condescending. A woman who thinks the grocery store was scamming her.



Elsewhere in sports, thirty-five more women come forward about being scammed by a fake NFL player, a caddie quits mid-round, the Matt Kalil lawsuit against his ex-wife is dismissed, and an entire high school football team is suspended for one game because of their team mascot!



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaMan who strangled his wife after she complained about his farting in bed, a man that pretended to be a woman and evaded police for EIGHT years, a hunter in Deleware shot & killed a woman who he thought was a deer, a police chief is upset that the Flock camera company is using his image without his permission, and a guy in China opens a back-scratching salon
