Daily Check-Ins

Ah…Thursday! The insurance money finally went into the account and I'll hopefully have my new truck by the end of the week!



It'll be a nice weekend to cruise around with the windows down & the tunes cranked!



In the news this morning, the government shutdown finally came to an end last night, pennies are officially done being produced, and Aaron Rodgers is selling his Wisconsin mansion for nearly $4 million!



Speaking of money…Elon Musk is set to get paid $1 trillion by Tesla over the next decade, and I looked at a list of what he could purchase with all that money.



In sports, the Bucks lost to the Hornets last night, Week 11 in the NFL kicks off tonight, Jameis Winston is going to start for the Giants on Sunday against the Packers, the Badger men's basketball team is off until Monday, and the Badger football team has a tough opponent this weekend with #2 Indiana.



Let you know what's on TV today/tonight, and talked about a couple of unique items you can purchase just in time for the holidays, including an iPhone Pocket, and a Candy Cane opener.



Office Cora joined me just after 8am to let me know what she's up to this weekend in the 715. And with Jean out, I asked you…the listener…a hypothetical question: "If you could eliminate one song from the world, what would you choose and why?"



Had a fantastic story about a school that set up a microphone in the hallway and asked students to record something positive that happened to them. The school created a montage and posted them online. And check out this story about a WWII Veteran who's life was saved by a pair of lucky socks!



Elsewhere in sports, Bryce Harper gets threatened by the MLB commissioner, and a very interesting stat about the outcome of NFL football games.



In today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy in Canada who took a city bus for a joyride and was letting passengers off along the way, a teenager who drove a truck onto a green and did over $160,000 worth of damage to the course, a man who was accidentally shot by his own dog, a #FloridaWoman who was caught doing 107mph while driving to a Little Caesar's, and some hardcore porn got played accidentally on a ferry.
