Daily Check-Ins

I'm trying to decide what I should do this weekend. Work on the lawn? Or take the Harley out for a spin.



Gonna be in the mid-50's on Saturday and maybe I'll just do both.



In the news this morning, the latest on the death of James Van Der Beek, an update on the search for Savannah Guthrie's mom, an airport got closed yesterday because of a party balloon, and a deadly school shooting in Canada.



Bunch of Olympic stuff this morning including an updated medal count, the latest on Lindsey Vonn, and what are people Googling about the Winter Games?



It's Hypothetical Thursday, so we asked each other some hypothetical questions. Brian asked Jean: "What was the most unhinged thing you ever did in a relationship?"



Jean asked Brian: "Would you rather be hangry all the time or hot & sweaty all the time?"



And of course, Office Cora joined us to talk about what she's up to in the 715 this weekend.



In sports, the Bucks beat the Magic last night before the NBA All-Star break, the Badgers take on Michigan State tomorrow night, Kyle Busch wins the pole for this weekend's Daytona 500, and some big suspensions in the NBA after a fight between the Hornets & Pistons.



Valentine's Day is coming up this weekend and 82% of people think it's a fake holiday that was made-up to encourage people to spend money. And speaking of money, we looked at how much people are spending on V-Day this year.



We talked about what's on TV today/tonight.



Remember the Australian kid who saved his family after they got blown out to sea? Well, the cops just released more details about the incident along with some audio from the kid's 911 call. A dog in Louisville helped cops find a missing three year-old. And a former professor at the University of Wisconsin is in the news after a bunch of his former students got postcards from him after he passed away.



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a beehive thief, a surge in fake IDs due to the popularity of A.I., a landlord in Green Bay who was allegedly trading sex for rent, a guy in Sacramento who stole some beehives, a mom who injected fecal matter into her own child's IV at the hospital, and a jewelry thief who used a forklift to rob a store and a donkey to escape.
