What a crazy week. Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Ozzy. Hogan.



Just a wild ride.



Obviously, we talked about the death of Hulk Hogan this morning, including a recap of his wrestling career, his life outside the ring, his other appearances on TV & in movies, and some personal memories of the Hulkster.



Also in the news, a La Crosse man was sentenced to 64 months in Federal prison on a meth charge, a local teenager known for his crochet skills was in court on a sexual assault case, a cyclist in Vernon County is dead, Governor Tony Evers announced he wouldn't be seeking re-election, and "The Yard" in Altoona opens this weekend.



In sports, the Brew Crew are back home tonight to take on the Marlins, Bill Self ended up in the hospital, and President Trump signs an executive order to prevent college athletes from becoming professionals.



Elsewhere in sports, ESPN is nearing a deal to acquire NFL media…including Red Zone! And the planned expansion of March Madness is unlikely to happen in the upcoming season.



We let you know what's on TV/Streaming this weekend and what's new in theaters. Plus, Doc joined us just after 8am to talk racing thanks to County Materials in Holmen.



A video of a woman from Wausau is going viral after her mailman delivered her beloved dog's ashes. And check out this woman who saved a teenager's life with the CPR skills she learned decades ago!



A recent survey found that almost a quarter of us are using A.I. to fact-check our doctors. What could possibly go wrong?



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a naked man who took a boat for a joyride & tried to use a disguise to escape the police, a #FloridaMan who robbed an arcade and had his mom as his getaway driver, another naked dude in Oklahoma who broke into a home & jumped into their pond to hide from the cops, a massive recall in Japan on toy guns that can fire actual bullets, a #FloridaMan who works as a Chuck E. Cheese mascot was arrested for credit card theft while wearing his costume, a cat burglar named "Leonardo Da Pinchy" who keeps stealing people's underwear, and robots in China that can replace their own batteries when they start to go dead.

What a crazy week. Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Ozzy. Hogan.
