K9 Officer Rock!
Late last year, our incredible Rock listeners were asked to help us raise money for the City of La Crosse Police Department’s K9 program after K9 officer Zaback was forced into early retirement due to an injury. With your tremendous outpouring of support, we were able to collect over $15,000 for the purchase & training…
Read MoreThe most common “silver linings” we’ve found.
We’ve done our best here on the station to be “business as usual” during the whole Coronavirus situation. Obviously, it’s a serious issue & deserves our attention, but we also want to offer people a break from that sometimes overwhelming seriousness. Whether it was our charity golf outing, or our annual Big Bikes ride, or…
Read MoreNudity in cinema!
I’m a big fan of movies and nudity! It’s been interesting to watch the changes in mainstream cinema over the last 35 years that I’ve been watching films. Now, there’s a new documentary called “Skin: A History of Nudity in the Movies” coming out this August. And, no, it’s not just a bunch of smut.…

Read MoreIrregardless.
I’m not surprised, but I am a bit disappointed. However, if so many people use the “word” irregardless, then it was bound to happen. Merriam-Webster has now recognized it as an actual word. Just add it to the list of things in the English language that make little to no sense. Such as: Me –…
Read MoreSummer Party Tip!
Summer is definitely here and there’s plenty of little ways you can help make life easier for yourself! Rather than break your hand trying to get a scoop of that ice cream, put the tub in a gallon freezer bag before sticking it in the freezer and it’ll stay nice & soft every time! If…
Read MoreThe greatest fireworks. EVER!
Sure, the city of La Crosse didn’t have any fireworks on the 4th of July, but there were plenty of places locally to catch some amazing displays! There was also a pretty impressive display in Los Angeles! But if that’s still not enough for you, Dr. Pimple Popper posted a 13 minute video on the…
Read MoreMy review of the “Unsolved Mysteries” reboot.
I don’t know what you did this 4th of July weekend, but between all the beer & BBQing, I found time to binge all six episodes of the recently rebooted “Unsolved Mysteries” series on Netflix. And it was just sorta ‘meh’. Without a host, it lacked a lot of that creepy, menacing and uneasy feeling…
Read MoreMonday Morning Throwback – Too high!
Back in 2015, Shaw had a story about a guy in Ohio who got so high, he called the cops on himself, because he was “too high”. Dude…can you imagine how high you have to be to actually call the cops?
Read MoreEvery movie released on 4th of July weekend – ranked!
You know me. I LOVE my movies. And the 4th of July weekend is when the big guns come out. Every year of my life, there’s always been 2-3 “4th of July BLOCKBUSTERS” that seem to come out around the holiday to lure people into the theaters for max profits! Except this year, of course.…
