The weekend is almost here!

We started you off with the Thursday Song this morning. Also found out that there wasn't a winner for last night's Powerball Jackpot.

Today is "National Burrito Day", so we shared some of the deals that are available.

Talked about the upcoming "Happy Gilmore" sequel, and the new "Matrix" sequel that's in the works.

If you haven't seen the video of this hiker being rescued, you MUST watch it. And kudos to this bank teller who helped save an elderly woman from being scammed for $2 million!

Hump Day!

Brian's under the weather, Jean is still on vacation, and we had a big show at the La Crosse Center last night.

Yesterday was also the WI primary, so we got to some of those results.

Had a story about a dog named "Hero" that truly lived up to that title when his owner got stuck in a muddy ditch for two days, and some officers in #Florida arrested a delivery driver who was a wanted felon, but were still able to finish his delivery.

Asked another hypothetical question this morning. A friend asks if they can borrow $10. You hand them a ten…they use it to buy Powerball tickets…and they hit the JACKPOT. How much do they owe you?

Played "You're Killin' Me, Shaws" this morning for $40 of Brian's Morning-Show money, and Shaw aced it this week with a clip from "Happy Gilmore".

Wild story during "The Friggin' Sports" about a soccer player who REALLY enjoyed a goal he recently scored.

Talked about the April Fool's prank they pulled on last night's episode of "Wheel Of Fortune", along with some of the other pranks that certain brands tried to pull yesterday.

Let you know what's new on New Release Tuesday, and speaking of the women's tourney, did you hear about the three-point lines being uneven during the game on Sunday between NC State & Texas?

Hello Thursday!

We started you off with the Thursday Song and talked a LOT of sports today.

It's MLB Opening Day, and Brian thinks it should be a National Holiday. Unfortunately, the Brew Crew will have to wait until tomorrow to start their season.

The Sweet 16 kicks of tonight, and yesterday, the NCAA president called for changes to legal gambling involving player prop bets.

We also talked about the possibility of Caitlin Clark playing in Ice Cube's BIG3 league.

Had a couple of nice stories just after 7am…one involving a dog named Daisy that got her head stuck in a tire, but was rescued by some firefighters..and another story about a guy in Oregon who is retired, but spends five days a week cleaning up & doing some landscaping around the high school his son attended.

Who'd you rather? 100% shot at $1 million??? Or a 75% chance to win $100 BILLION???

Remember the story from yesterday about the guy who got fired & stole a front loader from his job site & ran from the cops? Welp, we've got bodycam footage & audio of the incident today.

And today's "Friggin' Sports" story is a job opening for a wiener connoisseur.

Hump Day is here and there's flurries in the forecast. Thankfully, it's supposed to be back in the 50's this weekend.

We started things out with updates on the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse in Baltimore from yesterday, and we also found out that someone in New Jersey won the Mega Millions jackpot last night.

Talked a bit about the NFL's kickoff rule change that got approved at the owners' meetings this week, and we had another person who lost something in the trash & had to dig around in the garbage to find it.

The latest update on the Jontay Porter gambling story makes this guy look like a big-time moron if the allegations are true.

Shaw shared a touching story about dog named Fiona that has spent 11 of her 13 years in a shelter, and is now living in Wisconsin, looking for her fur-ever home! Made Brian tear up.

This week's edition of "You're killin' me, Shaws" was an absolute layup as we had not only mentioned the movie earlier in the show, but Rosie Perez in "White Man Can't Jump" is such a recognizable & iconic character!

Trying to freshen things up a bit with Tyler from upstairs in the studio this morning to talk about gambling on the Sweet 16 this weekend. Good to have a betting connoisseur on-air to talk shop.

We let you know what's new on New Release Tuesday and we talked about the "Price is Right" having emergency sweatpants in case a contestant peed themselves on the show.

Have you seen the tractor kid asking all the questions at a recent farm show? The internet LOVES this kid. And we love this 106 year-old Veteran from Texas who just recently celebrated a birthday.

Both the Mega-Millions & Powerball jackpots are growing to historic sizes again!

And we discussed this list of the best comedy films of all time. Hard to argue with the films on the list, just where they rank.

Have you heard about the "Quad God"??? He's REALLY good at figure skating.

During today's "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a landlord in Pennsylvania that set an apartment on fire because he thought the tenants ruined a washer & dryer, a 15 year-old that robbed a car dealership with underwear covering his face, a couple of sex toy companies are involved in a lawsuit over stolen plans, a guy in Utah who tried to use police lights on his truck to clear traffic, a guy in Australia who got dumped and just couldn't let it go, an impaired man who ran into an impaired driver sign, a woman who got attacked by a yak, and 4/20 is going to be a stoner eclipse this year!

We had a great story about two friends who are attempting to set the Guinness World Record for longest journey by toy car. And they're doing it to raise money to end all kill shelters.

Amidst all the college basketball going on this weekend, the Shohei Ohtani story is also a massive deal right now in the sports world, and it looks like Brian's assumption that there's more to this story is coming true!

Did you know that today is "Talk Like William Shatner Day"???? It's his 93rd b-day, and he's not only a prolific actor, but also a musician.

In one of our three-ways this morning, Shaw mentioned a vehicle recall because of faulty airbags, and Brian went a bit wacky talking about how funny the airbag prank videos are!

Thursday has arrived, and here comes the snow!

Supposed to start sometime after midnight with several inches expected in our area. We kicked things off with the Thursday Song and talked about the Powerball & Mega Millions jackpots both reaching closer & closer to record levels.

The Dodgers & Padres are opening the MLB season in Seoul, South Korea, but the big news this morning was that Shohei Ohtani's personal interpreter was apparently stealing a LOT of his money & gambling with it.

We played Maggie's F'ING song this morning, and she was VERY happy because she's going to see Ra with Soil, Flaw, & the Union Underground tomorrow night at the Q&Z Expo Center in Wausau. Have fun!

Had a great story about a roofing company that effed up by tearing the roof off the wrong house, but rather than go through the courts with lawsuits & wasted time, they replaced the roof with a brand new one!

Brian went on a rant about the new "Road House" movie that hits Amazon today, and Shaw had another story about a hot air balloon, this time from Rochester, MN!

Talked a lot about gambling this morning with the Powerball & Mega Millions jackpots & the Shohei Ohtani stuff…and apparently, gamblers have threatened Cleveland Cavaliers head coach, J.B. Bickerstaff.

Played a round of "Who'd You Rather?" this morning, and most people who responded to our question said they'd gladly take a 99% lifetime discount on taxes over anything else.

During "The Friggin' Sports", we talked about the upcoming Netflix series, "Receivers", and in today's "Bad News with Happy Music, we had stories about a guy who was too high to testify in court, a bison herd that got loose by a school, a fisherman who caught a MASSIVE paddlefish, a guy who was posing as a tow truck driver & stealing people's cars, a weed bust in Weed, Oregon…a teen who got busted with over 200 doses of fentanyl, a mover that stole a couple's "sex dominoes", and a recent survey about what age people start swearing.
