Jean is trying to gamble on the Kentucky Derby!

5/3/2024
And just like that, the week is over! Started the morning with news about the city buying a bunch of diesel buses, and we recapped the NHL & NBA playoff action last night, including the odd exchange between Patrick Beverly & a Pacer fan. Also looked at a drinking game for the Roast of Tom Brady this Sunday on Netflix. Let you know what's on TV & in theaters this weekend, and Jean is going to attempt to bet on the Kentucky Derby for the first time ever. Speaking of the Kentucky Derby, Brian wants to bring the "Running of the Porta-Potties" to Oktoberfest! Have you seen the video of the giraffe chiro? People on the internet are loving it. And remember earlier this week when we talked about the swarm of bees that delayed the Diamondbacks/Dodgers game? The bee guy is now getting his own Topps trading card! Today is "National Paranormal Day" and we talked about the paranormal stuff that we do & do not believe in. Had an update on the new waterslide being constructed in the Dells, and we talked racing with Doc. During today's "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a surge in unemployment, an increase in IRS audits, a guy who got arrested for stealing diapers from a dollar store, a county in TN that has a horrible record for EMS response time, an Iowa man who got arrested for road rage, an interesting side effect of Ozempic, a nudist cruise is set to launch, a cop that was assaulted by a cheeseburger, a guy who was stabbing himself, and another Iowa man who turned himself in to the police…but forgot to take the drugs out of his car.

Passwords, a face-eater, and Brian "races" a mini-van

5/2/2024
One more day of work left! Started the morning with the tragic news out of Mount Horeb, WI. Also recapped last night's NBA & NHL playoff action, and discussed the suspensions handed down by MLB after the Brewers/Rays dust-up on Tuesday night. Laughed at the video of Ryan Gosling & Mikey Day reprising their SNL "Beavis & Butthead" roles on the red carpet for Gosling's new movie, "The Fall Guy". And Brian recalled a story about Creed getting their gear stolen when they played his hometown many years ago before they hit the big time. Had a incredible story about a 9 year-old in Oklahoma that ran a mile in the dark to save his parents' lives after a tornado threw their truck into a tree & severly injured the parents. The family has a GoFundMe page set up to help with their mounting medical bills. Couple of food related items this morning, including a new flavor from Jif, and a pickle-flavored wine spritzer is now available for preorder! Today is "World Password Day", so we looked at how long it would take a hacker to get your password based on how many numbers, letters, & symbols you've got. Did you see the video of the bear at the zoo that ate the ducklings right in front of a bunch of kids that were celebrating a birthday? Scarred for life!

A recent survey says that 70% of people want fast wi-fi more than anything else. Have you heard about the Cheeseball guy? I'm calling shenanigans. That's not a full jug of cheeseballs. More like half a jug. Eric was able to correctly guess that Shaw wouldn't know what movie today's quote came from with "You're Killin' Me, Shaws"(it was 'Friday the 13th: Part 2') We had a lot of bee stories this morning, including the start of "No Mow May", and a bee swarm that delayed last night's Dodgers/Diamondbacks game.

Let you know what's on TV this weekend, what's new in theaters this weekend, and what new music is out today!

Final day of the nice weather with a bunch of rain expected this weekend. We started you off with the Thursday Song from our buddy, Adam Palm…and we talked about Joe Gow fighting for his job at UWL.

Discussed a list of bad habits that can be aging you faster than normal, and we also talked about brushing your teeth with hot water. Recapped last night's NBA & NHL playoff action, and Reggie Bush getting his Heisman trophy back! Funny story about a couple in MN that fell in love when he delivered fried pickles to her house as a GrubHub delivery driver. Cicadas are coming and they're apparently so loud that some people in the south are already calling 9-1-1 with noise complaints. And did you know they're edible??? No thanks. We also had a story about a high school prom in New Mexico that featured a drag performance. Nascar driver Erik Jones is going to miss some races after he suffered a broken back last week at Talladega. Jean ate a REALLY smelly banana this morning in the studio & Brian could not stop talking about it. Plus, the cost of chocolate may be on the rise, someone shot a dolphin, and Trump is coming back to WI next Wednesday. Yesterday, the WIAA voted to deny a constitutional ammendment that would have allowed high school student-athletes to profit off their NIL. Did you see this MMA fighter in Russia that kicked a ring-girl in the ass? Needless to say, it didn't end well for him.

4/24/2024
HUMP DAY!!!!!! We're halfway through our week without Shaw and so far, so good. We started you off with the Wednesday song & played "You're Killin' Me, Jeans" for some of Brian's morning-show money. It was from "Knocked Up", and she TOTALLY knew it! Also talked about the MN Senator who was arrested for burglary, the potential TikTok ban, and the bird flu being found in pasteurized milk.

Did you see the video of the guy who took a punch from one of Nikola Jokic's brothers at the recent Nuggets/Lakers playoff game? Crazy stuff! We also talked about the recent US Justice Department settlement for the Larry Nassar victims, and Brian raved about this new flame-throwing robot dog named "The Thermonator" Plus, a list of everyday irritations!

Are you washing your shredded cheese?

4/23/2024
Day two without Shaw! We started you off with news about some ground beef that may contain E.coli, a man who set himself on fire near the Donald Trump trial, and a comedian who had a woman kicked out of his show because she was breastfeeding her child.

Let you know what's new on New Release Tuesday & talked about the upcoming roast of Tom Brady on Netflix. Did you see the video of the car on fire on I-94 from last week? Crazy scene, but the guy in the car survived thanks to some incredibly brave good Samaritans. If you've never watched ANY of the Star Wars films or TV shows, you could get a job making $1,000 to watch all nine films in the Skywalker Saga. Apparently, there's a new trend that has people washing their shredded cheese. Weird. Doctors in Australia are asking snake bite victims to NOT bring the snake into the Emergency Room when they come to the hospital. We got Grant Bilse from the Wisco Sports Show on the phone to talk about all things Wisconsin sports, including the Bucks, the Brewers, the Badgers, and the upcoming NIL vote here in Wisconsin.

We also talked about the most environmentally-conscious states in the US, and a futuristic way to help conserve water in hotels. This week's "Monday Morning Throwback" was from 2015 when Brian took a Citizen's Police Academy course with the La Crosse Police Department. And did you see this door that a guy found in his basement? The internet is a bit divided about whether or not he should open it. We talked about the Colorado Rockies charter flight that's being investigated by the FAA, and during today's "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about an elementary school student who got assaulted by another student with a metal Stanley mug, a study on the kind of people who like cars with loud mufflers, a granny who helped her granddaughter beat up another student at school, and a #FloridaCouple who tried to tape a couple of scratch-tickets together to claim a million dollar prize.

4/17/2024
Today got totally flipped after Brian found out that Dole's website has a recipe for a banana peel BLT sandwich. For real. It's "National Banana Day", so that's where the conversation started…but once he found out about this whole sammich thing, he was out on bananas. Talked about last night's NBA play-in tourney and the Kwik Trip/Brewers collaboration this season.

Had a story about a guy in Cleveland who saved a kid from getting beaned by a hockey puck, and we played "You're Killin' Me, Shaws" for $20 of Brian's morning-show money.

We started you off with Brian bitching about his stupid Red Sox & their celebration for the 20th anniversary of the 2004 MLB World Series championship yesterday before their home opener. Also talked about Giannis' calf injury from the game against the Celtics last night. Today is "National Hug Your Dog Day", but all Brian was focused on was finding a new body lotion that isn't too greasy, is affordable, and comes in a squeeze bottle rather than a pump-style. Apparently, there's a new Scrabble game for people who are intimidated by the original. Played "You're Killin' Me, Shaws" this morning for a shot at $10 of Brian's morning-show money, and Dave from La Crescent did NOT win. Did you hear about Joey Gase, the Xfinity driver?

Another big topic this morning was the death of Firehouse frontman CJ Snare. Brian's recap of the Firehouse & Bret Michaels show at Ho-Chunk in BRF was our Monday Morning Throwback today. Had a very nice story about a retired teacher who donated $1 million to her school district, and a hilarious clip of Charles Barkley getting pranked during the Final Four coverage. Now that someone has won the massive Powerball jackpot, Shaw broke down the taxes to see how much that person is ACTUALLY going to end up with. We talked about the Dodger fans who caught Shohei Ohtani's first homerun ball in an LA uniform that claim they were pressured to give it up in exchange for very little. During today's "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a mother & daughter who were traveling the country giving illegal butt injections, the world's most recent oldest man, a guy who ran from one side of Africa to the other, a guy who stole a baseball team's swear jar, a Southwest flight that lost part of it's engine, a dangerous new trend on Tik Tok involving fireballs, a guy who was in the middle of his vasectomy when the earthquake hit the East Coast last week, a guy who claims the hotel staff used his toothbrush to clean his bathroom, and a guy who showed up for court naked.
