Bad News with Happy Music

Daily Check-Ins

Brutally cold today with high temps hovering around 15°. Back towards 30° tomorrow.



On the show this morning, we started off with the Thursday Song and in the news, a recall on shredded cheese, an appeal of Adam Fravel's murder conviction, a missing WI teen is found in Wyoming, a Wisconsin youth soccer club director is accused of trying to have sex with a child overseas, and the Powerball jackpot is getting close to $1 BILLION!



In sports, the Bucks somehow beat the Pistons last night after Giannis went down with an "injury" early in the game. A discussion about the possible landing sports for Giannis if he does get traded by Milwaukee. Week 14 in the NFL kicks off tonight, the Badger Men's Basketball team opened up Big10 play with a win over Northwestern last night, and the Women's Volleyball team kicks off the NCAA D-1 Tournament tonight!



Elsewhere in sports, Chris Paul gets sent home by the Clippers, and a Larry Bird jersey is going up for auction.



We let you know what's on TV today/tonight and we talked about some people paying almost $400 to see the original "Wizard of Oz".



A scene that typically plays out in movies & TV shows happened in West Virginia when a semi-truck driver was rescued after he slid in the snow & left half his truck dangling over the edge of the bridge! And an incredible story about an 88 year-old Veteran who was still working full time at a grocery store until a "positivity influencer" came along and changed his life.



Today is "National Cookie Day" and we discussed some of the deals you can take advantage of if you're looking for some sweet treats!



Plus, it's another round of Hypothetical Thursday, with each of us asking a hypothetical question of the other. Brian's question for Jean was: "What's you favorite & least favorite holiday tradition?"



And Jean's question for Brian was: "Would you prefer cash, an experience, or something meaningful for a gift? "



We talked about some Christmas stuff including a list of the top things that get kids excited during the holiday season, and a new thing called "gray rocking" that's supposed to help de-stress your holiday season.



The Winter Olympics are just a few months from now and the hockey rink they are building in Italy for the games is not only behind schedule, but it's also apparently the incorrect size!



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about some firefighters who got robbed while they were out fighting fires, a guy who tried to steal a very valuable Fabrege Egg by swallowing it, a DoorDash driver who licked chicken wing sauce off his fingers during a delivery, a Waymo driverless car that turned into a police standoff, and a guy who tried to save a raccoon only to get bitten in the face by the animal!
