Bad News with Happy Music

Daily Check-Ins

Got our first measurable snow yesterday! I thought it would be just some flurries until I woke up this morning & had to brush my truck off before leaving for work.



We kicked things off this morning with the Thursday song, and some news about Trump's administration picks, an update on the Laken Riley case, and Jaguar going "woke".



In sports, the Bucks got a nice win over the Bulls last night, Week 12 in the NFL kicks off tonight, and Geno Aueriema set the NCAA record for most wins!



Played Bob's F'ING song this morning and we also talked to Office Cora about what's happening in the 715 this weekend.



Nice story about a 97 year-old cheerleader who got to turn back the clock for a bit, and a guy who got a kidney donation from his mother just celebrated a unique anniversary.



Former Logger Chris Sale just became a Cy Young award winner, and ESPN is planning on ending "Around The Horn" in 2025. In other TV news, there's a "Girls Gone Wild" docuseries coming out soon.



Bunch of food-related stuff as we get closer to Thanksgiving & Christmas. ICYMI, McDonald's announced the return of the McRib and also introduced a new product! Fireball has a special "slap the bag" stocking for sale, Hidden Valley Ranch has some very special holiday cards for sale this year, and Kraft Mac-N-Cheese has a new flavor just in time for the holidays!



We ran down a list of responses to the question: "At a restaurant, what's something that's an automatic, 'I am NOT eating here, we need to leave'?"



Interesting story about Adam Schefter and the strangest place he's ever broken a sports story.



And during today's "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about someone putting up profane traffic signs in Colorado, an overturned truck in Arizona that spilled thousands of White Claws onto the highway, a lunatic in Virginia who set her friend on fire, and some #FloridaParents who lead by example.

Happy Hump Day! Gonna be chilly the rest of the week with highs in the 40's!



We started things off this morning with an update on Diddy & an update on the Menendez brothers, another member of Trump's administration getting named, and an amusement park ride that malfunctioned & trapped riders for several hours.



In sports, we talked about the Cavs finally losing a game after starting the regular season 15-0, previewed Week 12 in the NFL, and on the ice…the Bruins have fired their head coach, and Ovechkin is week-to-week with a lower body injury.



Let you know what's on TV tonight, and discussed a "hack" that supposedly makes pizza healthier.



A new study in Australia found that the highways & bi-ways are safer if people are required to retake their driver's test at age 50. Something Brian has been suggesting for years!



If you were pissed about the buffering during the Jake Paul/Mike Tyson event on Netflix last Friday, this #FloridaMan is leading the charge by suing the streaming service.



During today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a cruise ship that was tilted on it's side while playing Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic, a #FloridaWoman who threatened to tase everyone in her family, and a kid in Texas who got locked in a dryer at a laundromat because he lost a bag of chips.

Grant Bilse from the Wisco Sports Show

It's like SUMMER out there this morning. Minus the rain, obviously.



But it was in the 60's when I left for work. Nice & balmy. Unfortunately, that's not going to stick around.



We started you off this morning with news about the current Mayor of La Crosse, another member of Donald Trump's administration being nominated, a proposal for free school meals in Wisconsin, and a woman from Brownsville, WI, is facing charges in a "large-scale" poaching scheme.



In sports, the Bucks eked out a win last night, the Badger men's basketball team remained undefeated thanks to an overtime win last night, the Cowboys are falling apart & apparently…so is their stadium!



ICYMI, Spirit Airlines filed for bankruptcy, so we took a look at how that could affect holiday travel over the next few weeks.



We let you know what's new on New Release Tuesday and we talked to Grant Bilse from the Wisco Sports Show!



Cool story about a woman who donated part of her liver to save a young boy and finally got to meet him. And another great story about a guy in Georgia who saw a burning house & was able to break down the front door & save the person trapped inside.



And during today's "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about an idiot who forgot his bag of drugs on a train and reported the bag missing, a granny in the UK who had a great response when she was busted for possession of cocaine, a pig on the loose named "Notorious P.I.G.", and a sad statement about where we get our news from in this country.
