Sure, today's going to be decent, but I'm looking at 69° on Friday and getting ready for a ride! Weather will definitely be better later this week. In the news this morning, a possible recall may be coming for thousands of Ford F-150 trucks, 23 & Me is filing for bankruptcy, a nurse in Monroe County is being accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a patient, a new craft beer festival is coming to the Wisconsin Dells, and the former Minnesota Senator accused of soliciting a minor for prostitution is staying in jail for now. In sports, the Bucks lost to the Suns last night, MLB opening day is just a few sleeps away, JuJu Watkins is out for the rest of the season with a leg injury, and the men's March Madness Sweet 16 kicks off on Thursday. Elsewhere in sports, now that a bunch of teams have been eliminated from the tournament, college basketball coaches are heading all over the place for a new gig. And the Hulkster is losing massive amounts of popularity, apparently. We let you know what's new on New Release Tuesday and we talked to Grant Bilse of the Wisco Sports Show now that he's back from his trip to Mexico. Is your home full of dust? Here's five tips to help clean things up a bit this Spring. Are you a fan of Fireball? Are you over 90 years old? Well, you could win a "lifetime supply" of the whisky. Have you heard of the term "Boomerasking"?? It has little to do with someone's age, but more to do with wanting to talk about yourself, rather than listen to someone else's story. These videos always get me in the #Feels…a retired Military K-9 & his Army Veteran handler were recently reunited and the clips are emotional! Plus, a funny story about a goat & a kangaroo that worked together to escape the farm. In today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a woman who ran over a bicyclist on her way to a golf lesson, an elementary school teacher who exposed himself in class while he urinated into a trash can, a pilot who forgot his passport at the airport & had to turn a flight around to go get it, another pilot who had to make an emergency landing because some asshole on a plane refused to give up his cigarette lighter, and a man got his girlfriend's hand stuck in his mouth.
