Welcome to the final work day of 2025!



Jean and I are off the rest of this week, but you can still tune in from 6am until 10am for a "Best Of" the show!



Kicked things off with the Wednesday song and talked about some of the New Year's Eve TV specials that are on the boob-tube tonight.



Also had a list of things to look forward to in the month of January.



In the news this morning, the Trump administration is freezing child-care funds for the state of Minnesota, more than thirty bodies have been recovered from the bayous in the Houston area this year, the FBI released pictures of a motorcycle collection they seized that belonged to former Olympian Ryan Wedding, and actor Isiah Whitlock Jr. has passed away.



In sports, the Badger men's basketball team got a nice win last night, the Bucks play tonight and look to win a third straight, a look at the NFL's Week 18 schedule along with the College Football bowl game schedule.



Cool story about a toy store in Arizona that donated a bunch of toys to the local Salvation Army right before Christmas…and another incredible story of a group of middle schoolers who helped save a bus driver who was experiencing a medical emergency.



Elsewhere in sports, the latest on the Stefon Diggs situation, his brother Trevon Diggs gets released by the Cowboys, and Nikola Jokic is going to be out for a month after injuring his knee the other day.



As we say goodbye to 2025, we listed some of the rockers & celebrities who died in the past year.



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about the world's first oral care robot that brushes your teeth automatically, a guy who tried to steal a utility truck with a man still in the bucket, a naked #FloridaMan who robbed a meat market while wearing nothing but a mask, and a woman that was "wrongfully inseminated" at a hospital in Oregon.
