Final day of the work week. The weather is going to be beautiful the next few days. So let's finish strong today & get after it this weekend!



The big news this morning was the introduction/announcement of the new Pope yesterday. Also in the news, Virginia has passed a law that restricts social media usage for children, the father of a girl who killed two people in a school shooting in Wisconsin earlier this year has been arrested, and a new Teacher of the Year has been selected in the dairy state!



In sports, the Brewers start a three-game series in Tampa Bay tonight against the Rays, the T-wolves evened up their series with the Warriors, and a recap of last night's NHL playoff action. Plus, a look at tonight's matchups in the NBA & NHL.



Elsewhere in sports, the severely injured Pirates fan has finally spoken about his injuries from his fall, the winning jockey at this year's Kentucky Derby has been fined for whipping his horse too much, and Paul Pierce made good on a promise he made.



We talked about what's on TV this weekend and what's new in theaters. Plus, Doc joined us just after 8am to talk racing, courtesy of County Materials in Holmen.



Lots of Mother's Day stuff today as we get ready for the holiday on Sunday. Including some of the most inspirational moms from the movies, and a list of the meanest & nastiest moms in film history. Plus, how much Americans are spending on Mother's Day this year, and some of the trending activities for Mom's day.



A couple of hikers found buried treasure and actually turned it in, and a cat that's been missing for over three years was found at a McDonald's about 10 miles away from it's home.



In today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a really drunk school bus driver, an idiot criminal who stole a cannon out of a park to pay off a drug debt, a visitor to Yellowstone who got gored by a bison, a mom who got in big trouble for a viral TikTok "challenge", and a teenager who was shot & killed during a TikTok "challenge".
