  • The one with March Madness & St. Paddy's Day

    Another crazy week in the books! March Madness...crazy weather...the .01k!

    Whew!

    We started you off with the Monday Morning Throwback, and found out that we're apparently getting dumber! Go figure.

    Our Monday edition of "Bad News with Happy Music" had a story about a hand being found in a cemetery in NY, a guy practicing his karate skills on a girl's snowman, a woman trying to bring American weed to Jamaica, and Gary the Goat!

    Actually had a few interesting animal stories this week, including one about zebra in Ohio that almost bit a guy's arm off, and some baboons that attacked some hikers with boulders. NUTS!

    A woman went viral after ditching her date because he didn't want to spend an extra $3 for cheese on HIS burger during their date. And we talked about some of the odds during March Madness.

    Our Tuesday edition of "Bad News with Happy Music" had a story about a guy who missed out on some serious cash because he couldn't wait to eat his Cadbury Egg, and a guy who's suing Buffalo Wild Wings over boneless wings.

    Plus, someone took a page out of the "Matt Foley" playbook by rolling some doobies in a van(until it caught fire!). We also talked about a new movie that takes place in a porta potty after a guy gets stuck inside.

    A very interesting obituary made it's way into the news this week, and a woman assaulted her MUCH older boyfriend with an avocado. No word on if it was from Mexico.

    We debated using a "thumbs-down" vs. a "middle finger" while driving, and hooked you up with a new list of things to do in & around La Crosse this weekend.

  • The one with Goosens

    Big week with an even bigger snow storm!

    WE started you off with the Monday Morning Throwback, and another debate involving the grocery store divider. Plus, a touching story about a couple of geese living at a cemetary.

    Had an interesting story about a #FloridaWoman asking for a special day just for Sugar Daddies. Plus, a stripper who assaulted her ex-boyfriend with a wad of cash, and a really old guy celebrated his birthday with a performance from a belly dancer. And another flight from hell ended at an abandoned airport where some guys got behind the bar & started serving up some drinks.

    We talked about some of the things we wished we learned while in high school, and a guy in Wisconsin rented a billboard to help find a date. More "Bad News with Happy Music" highlights, including a woman who drove her SUV into a Popeye's restaurant after they forgot her biscuit, a guy went nuts on a flight & stabbed the flight attendant, and a couple of thieves who ordered a FOURTEEN COURSE dinner to cover up their crimes.

    Plus, Brian became an even bigger fan of Jamie Lee Curtis after her recent comments about matinee concerts. We found out that our jobs might be in jeopardy thanks to RadioGPT, and we had another touching story about a landlord taking care of a holocaust survivor.

    There was Dolphin Dave, and the LIV golf tourney might be in trouble for cutting down a cactus or two. Plus, a new list of things to do in & around La Crosse this weekend!

  • The one with March 2023

    What a week! Shaw was down with a cold for a few days, but he was in on Monday & Tuesday for "Bad News with Happy Music". Had a few doozies, including a story about a socialite who's body was found hacked to pieces & boiling in a soup pot, a guy who got ticketed for doing 86mph ABOVE the speed limit. And a story about guy who wanted his $10 back from a hooker.

    With the success of "Cocaine Bear", it's no surprise that there's now going to be a movie about a "Meth Gator". And speaking of movies, we talked about all the injuries that John Wick has suffered during the first three movies as we get pumped for the new one later this month.

    As we turned the calendar to March, we ran down a list of things to look forward to in the upcoming month, and we talked about our favorite cuisines.

    Plus, it was National Minnesota Day on Tuesday, and Brian ran down a list of some interesting facts about the state of MN. We had some parrots on the field during a softball game, and Jean filled in for Shaw during "You're killin' me, Shaws" and actually scored a win!

    Also, a guy who had a mummy girlfriend, and an ice cream truck that wasn't selling ice cream. 

    And of course, a new list of things to do in & around La Crosse this weekend, and a list of some new words & phrases you might be hearing in 2023

  • The one with all the snow


    We survived the Snowmaggedon! Sure, there was snow...but it's going to be in the 40's next week! We started the week with a look at some interesting facts about US Presidents on Presidents Day, and we hooked you up with a new "Monday Morning Throwback".

    Plus, a man disrespectfully ate someone else's key lime pie & it led to an arrest. Florida has apparently solved all their problems because the lawmakers are now targeting dogs putting their heads out of the car window! There was also a crazy story about a woman who got catfished into killing someone.

    We also talked about a #FloridaWoman who really wanted her free cookie from McDonald's. 

    As you probably know, we're fascinated by the possible zombie apocalypse, so we took a look at how prepared the state of WI would be if it actually happened. We were surprisingly low. There's a chonky boi in Poland that's got a five-star rating on Google Maps as a tourist attraction, and we got some really good research on the benefits of a four-day work week.

    During a "Bad News with Happy Music" segment, we had a couple of very interesting stories...a guy who paints with his tongue...raining fish in Australia....a test-drive gone wrong....and a woman driving the wrong way!

    Plus, an interesting auction item from the film, "Everything Everywhere All At Once", and a wild video of a moose attacking a woman in Alaska.

    And of course, a new list of things to do in & around La Crosse this weekend!

  • The one with Valentine's Day

    Another week in the books, another week closer to Spring!

    The weather certainly felt "Spring-like" this week at times. We started the week off with the "Monday Morning Throwback" and we recapped the Super Bowl, talking about the ads, the game, the halftime performance, & everything in between.

    Then, it was a very quick turnaround as Valentine's Day was on Tuesday this week. We discussed some of the top "Love" songs of all time, and hooked you up with some last-minute V-Day date ideas.

    A brewery in San Diego teamed up with the international airport out there to brew a beer made from the condensation from the airport's air conditioners.

    Sounds gross.

    We talked about what makes an "average" American, and Shaw aced this week's "You're killin' me, Shaws". Big thanks to Rachel for donating her winnings to the Rock Foundation! Wednesday was #NationalWisconsinDay, so we ran down a list of interesting facts about the Badger State. And we discussed the #science behind our love of true-crime documentaries on Netflix/Hulu/Prime/etc.

    Had some quality stuff during "Bad News with Happy Music" this week, including a restaurant that's banning kids under the age of ten, a McDonald's in England had a bit of a sign snafu, a guy who set his own car on fire to deter thieves from stealing it, and a couple that recently celebrated their 57th wedding anniversary after the wife tried to have the husband killed FIVE separate times.

    Plus, a new list of things to do in & around La Crosse this weekend!

  • The one with all the Super Bowl stuff

    What a week! We started off with the "Monday Morning Throwback" and found out that some seniors in Florida could be using loofahs to signal everyone that they're swingers!

    Plus, a guy from Vegas was in Iowa and let's just say....it didn't end well for him. As we inched closer to Valentine's Day, we took a look at a recent study on what it'll cost you this year.

    There was a guy who tried to sneak chicken wings and some drugs into jail, and a story about an ape that got pregnant while in isolation.

    The Super Bowl is right around the corner, so we talked about some Super Bowl prop bets and our favorite Super Bowl foods. Shaw whiffe on this week's edition of "You're Killin' me, Shaws", and we found out about "Vibrant". A pill that could help with constipation.

    A bakery in Canada had a serious accident involving their dough chunker, and a pooch got seriously ill from eating some meth-head's poop. 

    We hooked you up with a new list of things to do in & around La Crosse this weekend, and talked about grocery store robot that tried to escape! Plus, a couple in Canada returned from an extended trip only to find their house had been sold!

  • The one with February

    What a week! 

    Tom Brady retired. Ozzy announced that he's retiring from touring. And Dr. Phil is hanging 'em up, too!

    We said goodbye to January & welcomed February with a list of things to look forward to in the upcoming month.

    Started the week with the "Monday Morning Throwback" and a list of dream jobs. We had a couple of doozies during "Bad News with Happy Music" early in the week. One poor retired woman couldn't stop horny dudes from coming to her house, and an elderly lunch lady got busted stealing $1.5 million worth of chicken wings!

    We talked about a Reddit thread discussing the ends of a loaf of bread, and Shaw easily figured out this week's movie quote while playing "You're killin' me, Shaws"

    On Thursday, we ran down some interesting stats & info on Groundhog Day, and got a couple of dating "hacks" from some ladies on Tik Tok.

    And even though we mispronounced it at first, we had a wild story about a home invasion in Hustisford, WI.

    Plus, a new list of things to do in & around La Crosse this weekend.

  • The one with the KC Potato Girl

    Odd week, but we made it through. Shaw took off for Vegas on Tuesday and didn't hit it big on the Pai Gow table. An "Ask Women" section of Reddit posed the following question: "Where's the weirdest place a guy has ever taken you on a date". We reviewed some of the more cringey answers and asked Jean about her dating experiences.

    Did you know that because of our obsession with all the crazy documentaries on Ted Bundy and Kai, people are putting together "If I go missing" books with samples of their DNA, fingerprints, and a ton of other personal information?

    We discussed our biggest pet peeves while driving, and Brian got some tent-pants over the rumor that Tom Brady might return to the New England Patriots. On Wednesday, we found out that Hormel has teamed up with a brewery in Minnesota to make a Hormel Chili Cheese beer. 

    No Shaw on Wednesday meant that Jean filled in for "You're killin' me, Jeans" and completely whiffed. Later in the week, a new study revealed how much you save by shopping without your kids, and some doctors shared which nutritional myths they're growing tired of.

    We had a great story about an UberEats delivery driver that interrupted a college basketball game with his McDonald's order(turns out it was all just a prank), and some conspiracy theorists have cooked up a whopper about Damar Hamlin.

    A woman in the UK recently turned 100 years old and unveiled her secret to a long life, and we hooked you up with a new list of things to do in & around La Crosse this weekend.

    Plus, what would you do with an extra four hours per day?

  • The one with a plane witch

    Another busy week in the books with some heavy snow on Wednesday night into Thursday.

    We started things off with the "Monday Morning Throwback" and "Carp Karen". We also talked about the germiest place in your kitchen.

    The goalie for the Vegas Golden Knights is filing for bankruptcy, and the backstory on his reason why is Netflix documentary-worthy.

    We reviewed WalletHub.com's list of the best & worst states to drive in, and we got another reason to never step on an airplane again...thank you, Vegas plane witch.

    Shaw aced this week's "You're Killin' me, Shaws" which led to a discussion about Leo & Kate and that door in the middle of the ocean. We talked about the cliques we belonged to in high school, and we had TWO more Karens acting a fool later in the week.

    Panera Karen kinda backfired, and another Karen on a plane is in REALLY big trouble.

    Plus, the annual Iowa State Fair "Husband-Calling Competition" is going viral this week, and we hooked you up with a new list of things to do in & around La Crosse this weekend!

  • The one with 411

    One week closer to February! We're also a week away from our annual 9-Pin Tap Tourney at All-Star Lanes, so get registered right meow by clicking here!

    We started the week off with a new "Monday Morning Throwback", and some sad news for grandparents all over the country.

    411 is coming to an end for land-line users.

    Plus, a truly horrifying story about a hockey player who suffered a ruptured testicle & kept playing.

    We discussed a study that found most people want more energy vs. more sex or sleep. There's also a sherriff's department in Missouri that's looking for volunteers for their "Wet Lab".

    Shaw aced this week's "You're killin me, Shaws" on hump day, and we discovered that silly walks burn as much, if not more, calories than jogging! Also, single men apparently don't wash their sheets very often.

    Gross.

    On Thursday morning, we found out that tea bags contain the DNA of over 400 different insect species, and we learned about FOSY. The fear of saying yes. Plus, did a Turkish model have the worst first kiss EVER?

    And of course, a new list of things to do in & around La Crosse this weekend!
