    Campbell's has already released it's annual "State Of The Sides" report and for the second year in a row…stuffing > mashed potatoes! In other food-related news, the newest TikTok "trend" is apparently just eating a bunch of beans.

  • Hypothetical questions. Being rude at weddings. Apple pie-flavored mac-n-cheese!

    Another day in the mid-50's as we get ready for colder temps this weekend.

    It's Hypothetical Thursday, so we once again asked each other hypothetical questions.

    Jean's question for Brian was: "Who was the most influential person in your life?".

    Brian's question for Jean was: "Would you rather fly First-Class every time you fly & stay in a 1-star hotel...or stay in a 5-star hotel whenever you go somewhere & have the middle seat in economy?"

    Office Cora joined us just after 8am to let us know what she's up to this weekend in the 715. Her hypothetical question for us was: "If you could only have one condiment for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?"

  • Have you heard of "Moon Water"?

    Couple more days together before Jean jets off to Europe for a few weeks.

    And because she's going to be gone for awhile, we made our Weeks 10, 11, & 12 Pigskin Picks this morning. I'm firmly in the lead and can almost taste that seafood paella!

    Also this morning, another drawing for Mega Millions without a winner…so the jackpot is jumping to $843 million for Friday's drawing! A deadly UPS plane crash in Louisville, and tonight's Beaver Moon has some people trying to make "Moon Water".

  • Some Thanksgiving stuff. Week 9 Pigskin Picks. Grant Bilse!

    Tuesday is here and the weather is going to be beautiful! 62° and mostly sunny today.

    Took down most of the Halloween decorations yesterday. Got a few more left today and then getting the Christmas stuff on the house.

    On the show today, we let you know what's on TV today/tonight and what's new on New Release Tuesday and we talked to Grant Bilse of the Wisco Sports Show just after 8am.

    Week 9 of the NFL regular season finished up last night with the Cowboys losing to the Cardinals, so we took a look at our Pigskin Picks…and it's not getting any better for Jean.

    We talked about tonight's Mega Millions drawing, the AC/DC show at Camp Randall Stadium that got announced yesterday, and an update on 3i/Atlas!!!

    In sports, the Bucks got a nice win over Indy last night, the Badgers men's basketball team kicked off it's regular season with a victory, Tucker Kraft is officially OUT for the rest of the season, and Cam Little got "randomly" drug tested by the NFL after his historic 68-yard field goal on Sunday!

    Yesterday, People magazine announced it's "Sexiest Man Alive" on Jimmy Fallon's show, and Macaulay Culkin recently reprised his role as Kevin McCallister from "Home Alone" in an ad for Home Instead. Plus, is "Wheel of Fortune" getting too raunchy?

    Great story about a couple of farm workers in California who helped save a bunch of kids from a burning bus, and another story from California where three brothers found a mint Superman comic #1 in their mother's attic after she passed away.

    A recent poll found that the average parent has to answer 46 questions a day from their child. YIKES!

    Even though Thanksgiving is still weeks away, we had a couple of turkey-day related stories this morning, including a new Thanksgiving-flavored Oreo collection, and Amazon's $25 Thanksgiving meal.

    And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a woman who lied about finding a needle in her child's Halloween candy and is now facing charges, a woman in Pennsylvania who tried to light a crack pipe while in a hospital bed and suffered severe burns, a man in Virginia who went shopping at Walmart without any clothes on, and a hockey coach who got fired after he wore a Nazi costume to a Halloween party.

  • Halloween recap. Which piece of Chex Mix would you eliminate? National Sandwich Day deals.

    Halloween is in the books. October is just a memory. Christmas is right around the corner!

    I'm going to take advantage of this nice weather this week and get all my spooky stuff down and put away…and get all my Xmas shit on the house & in the front yard. Better than trying to do all that when it's in the 20's.

    On the show this morning, we opened up with the latest on a fruit recall, no winner on Friday for the Mega Millions jackpot, and how Americans feel about the time change.

    In sports, the Dodgers won the World Series over the weekend, the Packers lost yesterday to the Panthers at Lambeau…but the bigger concern is the condition of Tucker Kraft. Cam Little is in the record books for booting the longest field goal in NFL history, and the Bucks play against the Pacers tonight.

    Elsewhere in sports, the NASCAR Cup Series Championship was decided yesterday, and the Badger Men's Basketball team kicks off their regular season tonight. Also, Hugh Freeze was fired yesterday by Auburn, and a UFC fighter was cut from the league after some suspicious betting was made on one of his fights.

    We let you know what's on TV today/tonight, and there's a new way to meditate, apparently.

    We discussed the viral post about which piece of Chex Mix you'd eliminate, and with today being "National Sandwich Day", we discussed some of the deals you can take advantage of to help save some money.

    Another day, another story about a lost dog reunited with it's owner several years after it went missing. And an entrepreneur in Kenya who just won a major award for an app he designed that helps turn speech into sign language.

    Found a very interesting stat about the World Series that might make it easier to predict which team will win next year!

    And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy who was trying to steal a power tool by stuffing it down his pants, a dude who REALLY doesn't want teenagers trick-or-treating at his house, a #Florida teacher who showed up to school high on cocaine and shared her vape with students, a #FloridaMan who got drunk & called the cops over 40 times and made violent threats to the police after his wife was arrested, and another #FloridaWoman had a naked fight in her front yard with the cops & firefighters who responded to a domestic disturbance.

  • Brian's accident. Tons of Halloween stuff. A drunk German eats sausages!

    FINALLY!!!!! The spookiest day/night of the year has arrived and I'm soooooo ready to drink some Festbiers while handing out some candy and watching scary movies!!!

    I hope you have a fun & safe Halloween.

    We started things off this morning by day-dreaming about winning tonight's Mega Millions jackpot, talked about a recall on blood pressure medication, and discussed a list of freebies you can take advantage of today for Halloween!

    Elsewhere in sports, LSU fired their athletic director a day after the Louisiana Governor had some rather negative comments about the football program, the Lakers are being sold, and Gervonta Davis is in some serious trouble just weeks before his scheduled fight against Jake Paul.

    In other Halloween-related stuff, we took a look at how much Americans are spending on the holiday this year, and a list of the Top 10 costumes for adults, kids, & pets!

    Speaking of pets…check out this dog that just got reunited with it's owner SEVEN years after it went missing during a robbery.

    And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about the dangers of caramel apples, a dude who dropped a 2,000lb pumpkin on his GEO Metro, a warning from the po-po about weed candy, a woman who ordered some meds online but got body parts instead, a new "Florida Man Cam" at Nashville Predator games, and a drunk dude in Germany who fell out of a bar & into the backyard of a butcher shop.

  • Office Cora. An uncomfortable place for a Thermos. Are Halloween displays too scary?

    It's All Hallow's Eve Eve!

    Does that make sense?

    It's the day before Halloween(duh).

    And we had a to of Halloween stuff this morning including a Jason Vorhees/Peloton team-up, the #1 candy in every state, and whether or not Halloween decorations have become too scary.

    It's also "Hypothetical Thursday" and Jean's question was: "Would you rather ONLY eat candy corns for an entire month...or eat ONLY pumpkin-flavored foods for an entire month?"

    Brian's question was: "Which horror movie main character do you think you could survive?"

    We also talked to Office Cora to find out what she's up to in the 715 this weekend. Her Hypothetical Question for us was: "Would you rather have food delivered instantly the moment you order it...but it's a bit too spicy and the temperature of the food is off....or have it delivered normally with the right amount of spice & the correct temperature?"

    In sports, the Blue Jays got a BIG win over the Dodgers last night in Game 5 of the World Series, Week 9 in the NFL kicks off tonight with Thursday Night Football, a look at the NFC North schedule this weekend, the Bucks are back in action tonight, an update on Terry Rozier & Chauncy Billups, the Twins get a new manager, and Aidan Hutchinson gets a massive contract extension.

    Elsewhere in sports, the Governor of Louisiana has some interesting comments about the next head coach at LSU, former NHL player Ryan Kesler is facing some serious chargers, and Kyle Busch & his wife lost over $8 million in a life insurance scam!

    Several really cool stories this morning, including Mr. Frodo crashing a "Lord of the Rings"-themed wedding, a kid who grew his hair out so he could donate it to charity, and a family found a message in a bottle from a WW1 soldier!

    Today is "National Candy Corn Day", and pretty much everyone hates it.

    And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a pet monkey that got loose in a Spirit Halloween store, an artificial "tongue" that can apparently detect how spicy foods are, a woman who got hit in the face by a duck while riding a rollercoaster at SeaWorld, a United Airlines flight that got delayed with a couple of flight attendants turned into fight attendants, a guy who tried to sneak into a jail with a giant Thermos up his ass, a cop in Detroit who showed up to a virtual court hearing without any pants on, and a Halloween hater who destroyed a display featuring a skeleton version of Bob Ross!
