Our last day together for a few weeks as Jean gets ready to fly to Europe! In the news this morning, the latest on the Mega Millions drawing for tonight, more & more flights getting canceled, and say goodbye to the Farmers' Almanac! In sports, the Broncos beat the Raiders last night to kick off Week 10 in the NFL, the Badger men's basketball team plays tonight while the Badger football team plays tomorrow. Drew Brees will be replacing Mark Sanchez as a full-time NFL analyst for FoxSports, and the tragic news about Marshawn Kneeland. We let you know what's on TV and in theaters this weekend, and we got Doc on the phone for his final racing report of the year thanks to County Materials in Holmen. 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. Elsewhere in sports, former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown was recently arrested in Dubai and extradited to the US on attempted murder charges. Also, Matt Kalil's allegedly massive penis is burning up the internet right meow. We had a new "Karen of the Day" who got very upset when a passenger in her Uber asked to roll the window down & play some music. Cool story about a retirement party for a very dedicated employee at a McDonald's in Tampa. Another "trend" that's making the rounds right now is the 3 By 3 method to improve your overall health. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a robbery at a cashless bank, a dude in Minnesota who was allegedly running a chainsaw without any clothes on, a woman in Illinois who was found hiding in the wall between two businesses, an update on that drunk substitute gym teacher in Muskego, a couple who were having sex while driving on the Autobahn in Germany at 90MPH, a #FloridaMan who threw his wad of chewing tobacco in the face of a 7-Eleven clerk because there wasn't any TP in the bathroom, and an escaped pet pig attacked a woman in Buffalo!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chris McInstosh officially announces that Luke Fickell will be back as Badger head coach in 2026. I realize the two are tied together, but holy moly. Badgers get set for #23 Washington at Camp Randall on Saturday. Packers get set for the Eagles on Monday night, Tucker Kraft officially ruled out for the season, a quiet trade deadline on Tuesday for the Packers. Giannis knocks down a game winner on Monday, Bucks get blown out on Tuesday, have a big matchup da Bulls tonight at Fiserv. And the Brewers make roster moves on Freddy, Woody, Rhys, and Quintana.

It's Badger Blueprint time — and this week, we're breaking down Wisconsin's home matchup after the bye week against the Washington Huskies! We'll dive into our 3 Big Things and discuss where the Badgers can find an edge (if anywhere), and who plays quarterback for Luke Fickell!

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?" We also let you know what's on TV today/tonight, talked about season 2 of KPop Demon Hunters, and Miss Piggy's stand-alone movie. In sports, Week 10 in the NFL kicks off tonight with Thursday Night Football, the Bucks are off until Friday, Giannis got a black eye and it's origins are….interesting, and a look at the Badger men's basketball schedule and the Badger football schedule. Great story about a heroic teen in Florida who recently helped save a bunch of people who were stuck in their vehicles during a flash flood. And an absolutely heart-warming story about a 93 year-old man who used his smelly socks to help track down & find his lost dog. In case you missed it, Kraft recently released a new flavor of it's Mac-n-Cheese, and people have strong reactions to it. Elsewhere in sports, Alexander Ovechkin scored his 900th career goal, Kyler Murray is going on the IL, and CJ Strout is going to sit this weekend for the Texans. October just recently wrapped up, and many of you probably went to a wedding. October is the most popular month for nuptials, and we looked a list of ways you might have been rude at a wedding. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy who REALLY needed to use a bathroom stall at a grocery store, a hospital in Maine is apologizing for sending letters to a bunch of LIVING patients…telling them that they are actually DEAD, a council meeting in Scotland that had to edit the recording of a recent meeting after someone went to the bathroom without turning off their camera, the benefits of having sex in the morning, and a drunk substitute teacher in WI.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

'Lip Biter Sounds' wi returns for Episode 33, and this one is built for the late-night wanderers, festival dreamers, and warehouse lifers. Floyd West22 opens the session with Boris Brejcha's cinematic “Red In The Desert,” then dives straight into a euphoric blend of peak-hour techno, rave nostalgia, and futuristic club edits. From ANNA & Vintage Culture's massive “Feel The Rhythm” to a re-charged Daft Punk “Da Funk” flip, the BPM climbs fast and never looks back. The middle stretch hits harder — Disco Lines, Alok & Dennis, Diplo, and a wild Popper's edit that flips the floor inside out. Layton Giordani, bullet tooth, and Weska push the set into full strobe-mode before the finale erupts with Dimension, Ferry Corsten, and a closing angelic lift-off from Karen Harding. Techno, rave, electro, peak-hour weapons. Zero skips. All bite. Tracklist Highlights:

Matt Lepay highlights the 3rd hour of No BS talking Badger basketball & football!

With the 2025 road racing season now firmly in the rear view mirror, join Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie for a freewheeling ramble through some of the big stories that have hit the headlines in the past couple of weeks. We start by discussing the fragile nature of survival at World Tour level with the news that the Australian team Jayco-Alula came within days of possibly folding, and the delays to confirmation that two Belgian teams, Lotto and Intermarché, intend to become one. Where does that leave the riders, especially Intermarché's biggest star Biniam Girmay? Then we indulge in a bit of off-season speculation and wonder what Tadej Pogačar's 2026 season might look like, particularly with a number of race organisers making changes seemingly to entice the SlovAlien to ride. The Vuelta a España starting in his adopted home town of Monaco is not a particularly subtle overture and it seem an appealing prospect but, as we discuss, the picture is more complicated than that.

Mike Clemens talks Packers, and Michael McCleary joins from Badgers Extra to talk Badger basketball. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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". In sports, the Bucks lost to the Raptors last night, a look at the Week 10 schedule for the NFC North teams, and the big moves in the NFL yesterday ahead of the trade deadline. Elsewhere in sports, the first CFP Rankings are out, LIV Golf is shifting to a 72-hole tournament, Tom Brady clones his dog, the UFC has a big issue with fixed fights, and even though the team sucks…Badger football fans are out-drinking everyone this season. We let you know what's on TV today/tonight and some great news regarding the "Mummy" movie franchise! Today is "National Redhead Day", so make sure you celebrate the gingers in your life! Feels like this happens every year…is it too early to put up your Xmas decorations? Heroic story about a couple on a roller coaster who saved a teenager when her seatbelt came undone mid-ride! And a man in NYC with special needs went missing on Halloween but was found during the NY Marathon thanks to a Good Samaritan. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaMan who got arrested for DUI on Halloween while dressed as an inmate, people in Kentucky apparently thought they could vote for the Mayor of NYC in yesterday's election, a man in Ohio who robbed a bank and got 400 dollar bills, a ban on a certain kind of porn in the UK, and a bear in Colorado that got into someone's car and couldn't get out.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to episode 111. Today I share my own journey through first-time parenthood - the vulnerable postnatal period before my autism diagnosis, when sensory overload, exhaustion, and unmet needs made everything feel completely overwhelming. This is an honest exploration of how the demands of parenting can intensify existing mental health challenges, and how navigating the experience with honesty, warmth and compassion can help us to live happier, more fulfilled lives. Let's dive in! In this episode: ·         Why self-compassion and honest conversations with children are vital for resilience and connection. ·         How to set boundaries and seek support that honour neurodivergent needs. ·         Why repairing mistakes is more powerful than avoiding them—and how this models growth for children.   This episode is sponsored by autism education consultant Charlotte Mountford and her business, Badger Education.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we're joined by Jeff Vonvai, known on trail as Long Strides. This conversation will put life's problems into perspective—because for the past seven years, Long Strides has been thru-hiking with stage 4 colon cancer, despite being given just a 3–6 month prognosis. Jeff shares what it's like to balance intense rounds of chemo and surgery between hikes, the challenges of rebuilding his trail legs each time he returns to the trail, and how cancer has transformed his outlook on life—saying he's happier now than he was before his diagnosis. Be ready to feel inspired. We wrap the show with the news that the Continental Divide Trail's southern terminus now requires U.S. citizenship and an Army-issued permit, how to hike the Colorado Trail on less than $800, what crime Chaunce committed to wind up in prison, and  the triple crown of things that make us cringe.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Troy Longen from Badger, MN. Thank you for your partnership with us through Project23. Our text today is Judges 11:1-3. Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty warrior, but he was the son of a prostitute. Gilead was the father of Jephthah. And Gilead's wife also bore him sons. And when his wife's sons grew up, they drove Jephthah out and said to him, "You shall not have an inheritance in our father's house, for you are the son of another woman." Then Jephthah fled from his brothers and lived in the land of Tob, and worthless fellows collected around Jephthah and went out with him. — Judges 11:1-3 Jephthah enters our story under a dark cloud of shame—born of a prostitute (by the adulterous afair of Gilead), he is rejected by his half-brothers, and pushed out of his father's household. He ends up in Tob, surrounded by a gang of deadbeat outsiders with nowhere else to belong. From a natural perspective, Jephthah looked disqualified for any kind of leadership. But God often works through the unlikely, shaping leaders out of rejects. The very rejection that pushed Jephthah away was the tool God would use to prepare him for Israel's deliverance. Rejection stings. Family chaos always cuts deep. Being told you don't belong by your family of origin because of your father's sin can and usually does scar you for life. But rejection on a human plane doesn't disqualify you in God's economy—it often prepares you. Just think about your testimony. God makes leaders out of leftovers because God is the one writing the story. Think about it: Moses was a murderer in exile before he led Israel. David was the forgotten youngest son before he became king. Jephthah was driven away as illegitimate, but God would raise him up as a deliverer. The same is true for us—God redeems rejection by reassigning it for a divine purpose. Your rejection may be the exact place where God wants to demonstrate his power in your life. The rejection that made you feel small might become the stage for God's greatness. The voices that have said "you don't belong" can be drowned out by the voice of the Father who says, "you are mine called to a special mission." Don't resent rejection; bring it to God today. Name that wound, confess the pain, and ask him to redeem it for his glory. Believe that God wastes nothing—not even the broken pieces of your past. And then get ready... watch as God makes a leader out of the leftovers. ASK THIS: Where have I experienced rejection that still stings today? Do I believe that God can redeem even my deepest wounds for His purpose? How might the people I consider "worthless fellows" actually be the place where God is shaping me? DO THIS: Instead of resenting rejection, bring it to God today. Name the wound, confess the pain, and ask Him to redeem it for His glory. Believe that He wastes nothing—not even the broken pieces of your past. PRAY THIS: Father, thank You that rejection does not define me—Your calling does. Heal the wounds that make me feel small, redeem the places of pain, and prepare me to walk in Your purpose with confidence and faith. Amen. PLAY THIS: "One More Day."

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! In sports, the Ravens easily beat the Dolphins last night, we looked at the rest of the Week 9 schedule, Bucks got a nice win over Golden State last night without Giannis in the game, the World Series continues tonight from Toronto, the Badger football team is on a bye this weekend, and the Badger men's basketball team starts their regular season on Monday. We let you know what's on TV this weekend and what's new in theaters. Plus, we talked to Doc just after 8am and got his Racing Report courtesy of County Materials in Holmen! 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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, we are joined by Kenneth Pararo, known on trail as Moron. This is a podcast we've been wanting to make happen for several years now, and let me tell you, it does not disappoint. Moron is a thru-hiker, long-distance cyclist, philosopher, hopeless romantic, futurist, and most importantly, just a real solid hang.  We learn about why he's all in on AI- as evidenced by him riding cross country rocking his Meta AI glasses, why he quit is corporate tech job to more permanently pursue adventure and experience, how he completed one AT thru-hike and quit another a couple hundred miles from the finish, turning it into an extended road walk to the Canadian border, only to turn around for some more road walking and eventually an extended bike ride, and how he plans his adventuring essentially one day at a time, letting fate largely guide his next move.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, and brought to you by Topo Athletic, we're joined by Mary “Fireweed” Kwart. Fireweed is a thru-hiker, a Deadhead, and a pioneering figure in wildland firefighting with a career spanning more than 30 years. We dive into the challenges of being one of the first women to join the elite Arrowhead Interagency Hotshots, the culture shock of entering a male-dominated field, and some of the most memorable stories from her decades on the fire line.  Fireweed also reflects on how long-distance hiking has evolved since the 1970s, her tradition of tackling a new long trail every year since retiring, and her deep love and advocacy for California's Bigfoot Trail. We wrap the show with the best backpacking trails in the Midwest, the thru-hiking advice we wish we'd never given, a debate over whether robotic legs should count as mechanical transport under the Wilderness Act, and the Triple Crown of parts of society we'd turn the clock back for.

In the world of white-collar crime, it's not always the man holding the gun who does the most damage. Sometimes, it's the man holding the pen. Russell Laffitte, the former CEO of Palmetto State Bank, has officially been sentenced—state and federal—for his pivotal role in enabling Alex Murdaugh's sprawling fraud schemes. From court-appointed conservator to criminal co-conspirator, Laffitte turned trust into a weapon and helped siphon over $1.8 million from vulnerable clients—victims of injury, trauma, and death. In this explosive breakdown, we dive into Laffitte's calculated choices, the financial mechanisms he exploited, and the chilling pattern of betrayal that turned him into the enabler behind South Carolina's most infamous legal dynasty. This isn't just about a banker gone bad. It's about systemic failure, small-town power, and what happens when legacy becomes liability. We unpack the stolen settlements, the broken promises, and the legal fallout that followed. From the exploitation of Hakeem Pinckney's estate to the stolen trust funds of Natarsha Thomas and the Badger family, this episode exposes how Laffitte kept the Murdaugh machine humming long after it should have shut down. If you thought the Murdaugh case was just about murder—you haven't seen the money trail. And Russell Laffitte was the guy laying down the tracks. #MurdaughMurders #RussellLaffitte #TrueCrime #WhiteCollarCrime #MurdaughFraud #SouthCarolinaScandal #PalmettoBank #ConservatorFraud #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We'll dive into our 3 Big Things and discuss where the Badgers can find an edge (if anywhere), and what this showdown could mean for Luke Fickell's future in Madison.

The Monument season ended at the weekend in time-honoured fashion, with il Lombardia, and its now traditional denouement of a Tadej Pogačar victory. What more can anyone say about Pogačar's extraordinary domination? As ever, we at least try to dig out new superlatives, this week with Daniel Friebe, Lionel Birnie and TNT's voice of cycling, Rob Hatch.  We've got other reflections from Lombardy, including on Quinn Simmons' remarkable performance and Redbull-Bora-hansgrohe's struggles. There's also the usual round-up of some of the week's most eye-catching news stories, including the latest on Derek Gee and the battle for survival in the WorldTour.     EPISODE SPONSORS NordVPN Get NordVPN two-year plan + four months extra ➼ https://nordvpn.com/tcp It's risk-free with Nord's 30-day money-back guarantee.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by me. Because I hiked Tour du Mont Blanc. We go through all the nitty gritty details of my trip, including how I decided on going with a self-guided tour (aka staying in hotels instead of camping), the differences across the French, Italian, and Swiss portions of the trail, the best towns, the landscape highlights, the crowds, the food, how my knees asked for a divorce from my body, and everything else. But wait, there's more. Chaunce is fresh off her wedding and honeymoon, she gives us the full scoop of her month of nuptials and romance. We wrap the show maturely by covering how many poops in a day is too many poops, my business pitch for selling farts online, the triple crown of wedding traditions, I share some new gear that I got to test on TMB, and listeners share their top TMB tips- including how I did it all wrong.

It's a meeting of minds on this month's episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin as Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Rebecca Charlton take a closer look at sports psychology in light of World Mental Health Day. We hear from Dr Allie Wagener, sports psychologist at the Human Powered Health team about her work. Plus we hear from General Manager Ro de Jonckere and rider Ruth Edwards about the ongoing influence sports psychology has on the workings of the team both on and off the bike. The Cycling Podcast Féminin team also pick over the European Championships road race and debate the merits of that surprise World Championships win in the first regular episode since the race. Also on the agenda: cheese wheel rankings, the brief return of “Casio Niewiadoma” and the fear of a burnt pizza.

The autumn season rolled on with the European road race championships at the weekend - and report back from a men's road race dominated in familiar fashion by Tadej Pogačar, but also lit up by a French teenager riding and starring on home roads, Paul Seixas.  Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are joined by the voice of Radio Tour, Seb Piquet, to analyse Pog's latest masterclass and what's next for Seixas. Before all of that, we also catch up on other news from the last week in pro cycling, including Cian Uijtdebroeks' surprise transfer to Movistar, Alexander Kristoff's unhappy farewell and the likely demise of the Arkéa team.  OUR SPONSORS, LLOYDS The Cycling Podcast is proudly supported by Lloyds.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by thru-hiking power couple who've hiked more than 11,000 miles together Chris and Sara, known on trail as Endless and QB. “What haven't they hiked?” is a fair question, because it's been a lot, including the AT, the PCT (twice), CDT, CT (twice), Arizona Trail, Manaslu Circuit, Hayduke, Long Trail, Cohos Trail, Loowit Trail, Wonderland Trail, Ruby Crest Trail, Why-wash, (ahl-pah-MY-oh) / Santa Cruz Trek, the GR20, and more, believe it or not. They share the story of how they met, offer tips for making a marriage work both on trail and off, discuss how they befriended Mac from Halfway Anywhere and Viking during their many trail adventures, and explain why rafting the Grand Canyon stands out as the most epic adventure of them all. We wrap the show with news of the asshat who vandalized the Katahdin sign, the triple crown of seafoods, and definitively answer the age old question of window vs. aisle.  LMNT: Get a free sample pack with any order at drinklmnt.com/trek.

FOX Sports' lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt makes his picks against the spread in the top games of the weekend. He begins by previewing his matchup on Big Noon Saturday on FOX between Wisconsin and #20 Michigan as Bryce Underwood and the Wolverine rushing attack faces a stout Badger run defense. He then makes his pick as #3 Miami hits the road to face arch-rival Florida State in a Top-20 matchup. He makes his picks as #16 Vanderbilt tries to pull off another upset of #10 Alabama and Florida looks to get their season on track when they host Arch Manning and #9 Texas in the Swamp. Klatt also breaks down the battle of unbeatens in the Big 12 as #11 Texas Tech faces surprising Houston on the road. He wraps up his picks by debating whether Notre Dame can keep things rolling against Boise State and cover the large spread in that game. 0:00-2:39 Intro2:40-7:34 Wisconsin vs. Michigan7:35-10:46 Miami vs. Florida State10:47-13:46 Vanderbilt vs. Alabama13:47-17:53 Texas vs. Florida17:54-21:25 Texas Tech vs. Houston21:26-28:13 Boise State vs. Notre Dame Learn more about your ad choices.

The inaugural UCI road World Championships on the continent of Africa took place in Rwanda last week. Dominated - again - by Tadej Pogačar, the men's road race was widely dubbed ‘the hardest edition ever', but was it really? Team USA's Larry Warbasse joins Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie to give his verdict and general impressions from Kigali.  We also solve the mystery of Nauru's first ever World Championship entrant - who didn't make it to the start-line. In addition, we pay tribute to two influential figures in the cycling media who have passed away in recent days, and look forward to the European Championship road race at the weekend.  OUR SPONSORS, LLOYDS The Cycling Podcast is proudly supported by Lloyds.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, we are joined by Spencer “Boiler” Dunn. Boiler, is a self-described “pro-yapper”, improv leader, former employee of Parks Canada, pie enthusiast, and of course, a backpacker.  Spencer takes us through his long trail adventures across Canada, including the Bruce Trail, West Coast Trail, North Coast Trail, and Nootka Island Trail—journeys that brought him face-to-face with some incredible wildlife, from bears to whales to the elusive sea wolf.  We also dive into his recent hike on the PCT—how he broke the record for pies per mile, the notoriety that earned him on trail, navigating people's perceptions as a plus-sized hiker, how his trek deepened his connection to his queer identity, and, of course, his unapologetic hatred for gear talk (which I make him do). We wrap the show with news on New Zealand's most famous thru-hike getting a whole lot pricier, tackle the age-old question of which liquids we'd want to dispense from our fingers, we do the  Triple Crown of tummy aches, and hear a listener's compelling pitch for taking this circus to the Pacific Northwest.
