Doc in studio. Brian FINALLY gets his seafood paella. A pickle puffer jacket!

The weekend is here and I’m ready to take a nap.

Took the bus trip to Milwaukee yesterday for the Brewer game and while I had a lot of fun, got home WAY past my bedtime last night and didn’t get much sleep before coming to work this morning. So, I definitely see a siesta in my future plans this afternoon.

In the news this morning, the latest on the escaped kangaroo in Wisconsin, the TSA lines are really bad all over the country but there are ways to check ahead to see just how long the lines are, President Trump’s signature is going to appear on US currency, Dash Crofts passes away at age 87, and apparently…some people are finding out that their short flights are being replaced with bus rides…just like in “Home Alone”.

In sports, the Brew Crew got a nice win over the White Sox yesterday, the Bucks play tomorrow afternoon and only have 11 games left in the regular season, a recap of yesterday’s Sweet 16 action and a look at this weekend’s men’s & women’s tournaments. Plus, the Badger men’s hockey team beats Dartmouth to advance in the Frozen Four.

We talked about what’s on TV this weekend and what’s new in theaters. Netflix raises their prices AGAIN!!!! And a new, animated “Stranger Things” series is coming next month!

Elsewhere in sports, Tom Brady recently asked the NFL about returning to the field to play quarterback, and Hootie is buying into a NASCAR team!

A Boy Scout recently got a very rare honor after saving his Scout Master’s life, a couple of State Troopers in Maryland are getting recognized for saving and infant’s life, and a woman is reunited with her dog after it went missing NINE years ago!

Brian recapped his bus trip to the Brewer game yesterday.

Doc joined us to talk racing thanks to County Materials in Holmen & in Eau Claire.

And in today’s edition of “Bad News with Happy Music”, we had stories about a KFC pickle jacket, an officer that was drunk on-duty, a #FloridaMan who drove onto an airport runway and tried getting onto a couple of planes, and a #FloridaMan who tried to save his vehicle from hail damage during a recent storm.
