Back in 2015, just before Judas Priest played at Rock Fest in Cadott, we got their lead guitarist, Richie Faulkner, on the phone to talk about all sorts of things!

We discussed his recently won "Dimebag Darrell Shredder" award, working with Christopher Lee, trying to pronounce foreign cities, his Star Wars fandom, and we mentioned Dave's Guitar Shop here in La Crosse.

Doc's Racing Report

Bad News with Happy Music

Daily Check-Ins

Welcome to Friday, yo!



A bit of rain today, but looks like it's going to be sunny & warm all this weekend.



We started you off with a recap of last night's Presidential Debate, and we let you know what's new in theaters this weekend.



The NFL got hammered by the U.S. District Court in their Sunday Ticket lawsuit, and former Packer, Randall Cobb, is lucky to be alive after his house in Nashville burned down earlier this week.



Great story about a woman in Whitewater, WI who created a free dog pantry for pet owners who may need a little bit of help with their furry friends when times get tough.



Talked a bit about the 2nd round of the NBA draft, including an interesting nugget involving former Duke player, Kyle Filipowski.



Crazy video from Alton, IL of a sinkhole swallowing a soccer field!



Did you hear that 5-Hour Energy has a caffeinated BBQ sauce now? And according to a new survey, 69% of Americans find it attractive when their partners clean the house.



Crazy story about a county board candidate in MN who threw a tarantula at a woman that refused to move out of her house!



Doc joined us in studio this morning for the Racing Report, and during today's "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about about a school staff that went to Hawaii for a recruitment trip, a guy who got killed by lightning, a woman who crashed into a building a couple of times and tried to light it on fire, a copper thief in Iowa that got electrocuted, a store that was closed because they were "having sex", a fortune teller that robbed some people in a trailer park, a guy who tried to steal some animal crackers from an open garage, and a manure truck that overturned in a neighborhood.

Shaw is back!



The first Presidential debate for the 2024 election is tonight and we tried to get you prepped with some stats & info…and maybe a drinking game or two.



We recapped last night's NBA draft, and the apology from new Texas baseball coach, Jim Schlossnagle.



Let you know what else is on TV tonight, and we talked about Hawk TUAH girl possibly going to Hollywood!



Cool story about a guy who saw two old ladies sitting in the chairs in front of his house & he decided to befriend them with some tea & snacks…and a fire at a 143 year-old church was extinguished by some firefighters who were having a weekly meeting just down the street.



Got a request from Curt in Eau Claire for some Jackyl…which we played…and then talked about the upcoming Big River Rally!



Another idiot TikTok person is trying to pass off rice-water as an alternative to Ozempic



Talked about the future of the WWE, and speaking of the future…this year's Olympics will feature A.I. Al Michaels!



During today's "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy in Vermont who flipped off a State Trooper, a bear that got into a family's mini-van in California, a philosophy professor who killed himself in Australia, a woman who got a ticket for driving her suitcase, an update on the Bigfoot murder case, and an HOA board member who repeatedly pooped on a guy's lawn.

Welcome to Hump Day! Our last day of the week without Shaw.



And since he's out today, we played "You're Killin' Me, Jeans" for $70 of Brian's Morning-Show money.



Also had a hero in the news as a 12 year-old kid from Rhode Island saved a classmate from drowning on a recent field trip. And a bunch of people in Ohio helped rescue a kitten that had gotten stuck between the tires of a semi.



Did you hear that Hallmark is making another cheesy Xmas movie this year…with the Kansas City Chiefs??????



The Hawk TUAH girl is selling merch now, and something called "onion coffee" is supposed to be the popular drink this summer.



Hard pass.



Funny video of a TikTok gal who tried teeing off with her prosthetic arm at a TopGolf facility recently and it didn't end well.



Talked about an Australian swimmer who talked a bunch of shit about America and then didn't even qualify for the Olympics.



BURN!



During today's "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about people stealing cicadas from Big Foot Beach State Park by Milwaukee, a guy in New Orleans who got arrested for impersonating a police officer after he pulled over an actual police officer, and a company that is being warned by the FDA for selling human poop WITHOUT approval.
