The Christmas break is over and we got a bunch of rain & precipitation the last few days before getting snow dumped on top of that. Driving this morning was atrocious!



Back to the grind for a few days this week before we'll once again be off for the New Year's holiday on Thursday & Friday.



Speaking of New Year's, a new poll revealed what Americans really want to do on NYE. And since it is the end of 2025 this week, we looked at some end-of-the-year data from YouTube and Google.



In the news, the Powerball was won on Christmas Eve by someone in Arkansas, the body of a missing swimmer is recovered, a #FloridaMan killed his wife & shot his stepdaughter over an argument about an NFL game, and the government is investigating a deadly crash involving two helicopters in New Jersey.



In sports, a recap of this weekend's NFL action and a look at some of the important matchups in Week 18 with serious playoff implications! Myles Garrett is still looking for one sack to set the NFL record for sacks in a season. Plus, several other NFL records that could be set during the final week of play.



We talked about what's on TV today/tonight and discussed the things we were watching over the holiday break.



Elsewhere in sports, the Bucks got Giannis back and saw immediate returns on that, the Badger men's basketball team gets back on the court tomorrow night, and a look at the Bowl game schedule.



Great story about the power of positivity in Wisconsin as a small community comes together to find a missing dog.



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a math teacher who sent sexually explicit texts to her fifth grade student, a man who is suing Outback Steakhouse after he claims a toilet injured him, a doomsday mom who allegedly abducted her four children and fled the country, and a video game addict who left a huge mess in a hotel room.
