 Daily Check-Ins

The weather continues to be nice today with a high near mid-40! I'm planning on shutting my heat off this afternoon and opening some windows!



On the show today…no winner for the Powerball jackpot last night means it's gonna be almost $1.5 BILLION for Saturday's drawing, a delay for the destruction of the Lansing Bridge, the latest on Morgan Geyser, and a recall on some salad dressing!



In sports, Week 16 in the NFL kicks off tonight, Bucks take on the Raptors tonight, Badger Women's volleyball squares up against Kentucky in the Final Four later this evening, the Badger men's basketball team is off until tomorrow, and a look at the upcoming Bowl schedule.



We talked to Office Cora this morning to see what she's up to in the 715 this weekend, and we let you know what's on TV today/tonight. Plus, Survivor is celebrating it's 50th season by hiding immunity idols in every state as part of a contest



Lots of Christmas/Holiday stuff this morning including a ranking of the most iconic Christmas movie characters, which Christmas song "sings to the spirit" of your Zodiac sign, the ways that caroling is good for you, and a bottle-fed reindeer that's now a house pet!



It's also "Hypothetical Thursday" and Jean's question for Brian was: "Which Christmas movie character would you be?", while Brian's question for Jean was: "Would you rather have to sing a solo while caroling with friends or be able to stay in the back of the group...but in your bra & underwear?"



Also had a heart-warming story about a dog that recently had a litter of eleven puppies who still had room for one more, and a fantastic story about some retired teachers in Minnesota who are writing uplifting letters to kid who are battling cancer.



Elsewhere in sports, the Bears may be moving to Indiana, the Dolphins have benched Tua, the head coach of Ohio is essentially fired, and Doug Gottlieb is leaving his radio program to focus on his coaching duties in Green Bay.



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about some free weed outside a high school in California, a guy who followed his GPS down a boat ramp and into a lake, a woman who was arrested for putting razor blades in loaves of bread at Walmart, a camel that was part of a church's nativity scene who kicked a woman, a fake robbery, and getting your ChatGPT "high".
