Somewhere between serving as a news anchor in Eau Claire and a radio host in Chippewa Falls, Pat spent a brief stint as a TV reporter in the Cayman Islands.

What's this show about?:    Hi there, this is Erick, Owner of the Workout Hero Club in Eau Claire, WI.    Did you know that about 90% of people that start a weight loss/fitness journey sadly fail?    Had those 90% known about his “Princess Bride - Hunger Games” secret, then they probably would not have failed.    Which is why when you click here and put in your info - I'm giving you a mini-book that reveals what that secret is and why it is the missing link.

Did something happen?”    I braced for the worse, with my tired brain working overtime to figure out what I did.    She proceeded to share how unhappy and miserable she was with her weight.     She said that night that she was starting a “get back into shape” journey.    I felt absolutely horrible and like I failed the love of my life.    It was my fault she had gained weight.    I was a horrible influence on her because I had gained even more weight.    I used to be in great shape when we met but then let myself go after that.     I had turned into a “chubby hubby/dad bod”.    I was a Personal Trainer and Bodybuilder and had abs when we met.    But then after years of marriage, I was a fat lazy blob,    But then I discovered a secret about fitness that helped me…    ...Get my abs back   … get my body back    … and transform from chubby hubby to hot hubby    … no more dad bod    ✔️If you struggled with “staying motivated” on your health-conscious journey, then this is the show for you.    ✔️If you've tried programs and had trouble sticking to them, then you're going to love this secret.    ✔️If you're looking for the edge in your workouts and meal plans, you found it.    ✔️If you want the missing piece to what all those other trainers and guru's unknowingly leave out, then you've found the right place.    This podcast has been about me documenting my journey from chubby hubby/dad bod -to- hot hubby (according to my wife)    That was the first 300 or so episodes of this show. Me documenting my journey from chubby hubby to hot hubby and fixing my fitness motivation issues.    That transformation played a huge part in me opening up my own gym here in Eau Claire.    So now, after those first 300 episodes, on top of fitness motivation secrets, we'll be talking about the other areas that make fitness a success.    Let's do this,  Your awesome future awaits!   Mr trainer man Erick  Owner of Workout Hero Club - Eau Claire, WI    —---

Writer McKenna Scherer is a proud Wisconsinite. Sure, that love is tied to cheese and Spotted Cow. But at the root of that love is her family. Scherer shared a story, “The Largest Gathering of Norwegians in Northwestern Wisconsin, Probably: Gierefest,” at a live storytelling event hosted by Wisconsin Public Radio’s “Wisconsin Life” and the Chippewa Valley Writers Guild. It was held on Nov. 14, 2024 in Eau Claire at The Lakely.

In this episode, we talk with Colorado's Holly Lovell as she was enjoying some off time with her family in New Zealand. We visit about how she developed her vocal chops, seasons or writing and making what you're capable of in the moment as to not stifle your creativity.     Indie folk singer/songwriter Holly Lovell released her album Hello Chelsea to the world on February 7, 2025. The album was produced in Eau Claire, WI with Brian Joseph (Bon Iver).   Holly Lovell, crafts songs that capture aching intimacy and vulnerability through perceptive storytelling. Using a mix of both acoustic and electric guitar, Lovell's alternative folk style songs are delivered with strong melodies and spirited conviction. She has been influenced by the lyrical prowess of artists such as Patty Griffin, Brandi Carlile and Bruce Springsteen.  Lovell's vocals have been likened to both Maggie Rogers and Ingrid Michaelson ‘but with far more gumption.' says The Denver Post, ‘She understands her songs and the power behind the lyrics. It's personal for her, for her band and every person that listens.'   Check Holly out here:  Website: hollylovell.com  IG: Hollylovell_  Facebook: Holly Lovell  TikTok: Hollylovell_   And check out Sweet Bloom Coffee Roasters here: https://sweetbloomcoffee.com/

Holy thunder & lightning last night! Not sure if you heard/saw any of it, but the puppy DEFINITELY woke up during the storm, which woke me up…and now I need a nap. I always need a nap, though. It's Easter weekend, with the holiday on Sunday. Looking forward to some ham & scalloped potatoes! In honor of the holiday, we took a look at a bunch of Easter stats & info, including the top candy for each state.

A sweet and searching conversation between Krista and the man behind Bon Iver at this year's On Air Fest, full of wisdom and revelation. He is a person who experiences deeply, who metabolizes creatively, and who just keeps growing. He opens up with Krista about the strangeness of being loved for how he put his broken heart to music.

We all grieve differently, often facilitating between these worlds of wanting to talk about our loved ones to wanting to be left alone in silence. Writer Yia Lor of Eau Claire gets this. She tells us about finding her place while grieving the loss of her sister, Jer Lor.

I'm giving this cough until the end of the week and then I might need to go into the minute clinic and see about some 'scrips. It's gotten better, but I can't seem to shake it completely. Needless to say, it's "Workforce Wednesday" today, so let's get over that hump! Lots of stuff in the news this morning, including the death of legendary game show host - Wink Martindale, a deadly crash in Eau Claire yesterday, the search for a missing boater in the Dells continues, several programs are being cut in the Prairie du Chien school district, the Northern Lights might be visible tonight in Wisconsin, and a Kwik Trip in Kaukauna just sold a winning lottery ticket! In sports, a recap of last night's NBA play-in tournament games and a look ahead at tonight's schedule. Plus, the Brewers shutout the Tigers last night, and Damian Lillard is still recovering from the blood clots in his leg and will likely miss the entire first round of the playoffs. Elsewhere in sports, the game between the Red Sox & Rays last night got delayed by a very annoying sound, a tennis player accused her opponent of not wearing deodorant, and the scumbag who killed the Gaudreau brothers tried to have the charges dropped. Today is "National Banana Day" and eating them is certainly good for your health. So is exercise. But if you're not into spending a few hours at the gym, there's a new health hack that might be right up your alley. Yesterday, we talked about a police officer from Philly who saved a five year-old who managed to get on the roof of his house, and today it's a story about a dog that got trapped on the roof of a home. Plus a marathon pickleball game that raised a bunch of money for charity. Having trouble waking up? Feeling groggy & grouchy in the morning? There's a new "perfect" way to wake up, apparently. A receipt is going viral for a "bitching fee" that was added because the customer received an incorrect order. We continued to talk about Spring cleaning this morning…moving from the house to the garage. Did you see the Braves sideline reporter who asked a young lady for her phone number during a recent game? Well, the internet has BIG feelings about his actions. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a woman who married a river, a guy who called in a bomb threat hoax for a cruise ship, a woman who took a big shit in a beer cave, a guy in Scotland who had a LEGO piece stuck in his ear for 20 years, and a #FloridaWoman who tried selling human remains on Facebook marketplace.

Herzschmerz, Einsamkeit und (im besten Sinne des Wortes) Weltfremdheit von Justin Vernon alias Bon Iver haben den Folkie aus Eau Claire, Wisconsin, zu einer eigenen Liga in Sachen Pop gemacht. Jetzt hat er genug gelitten: Das neue Album SABLE, fABLE ist ein karriereumspannender Befreiungsschlag.

The weekend has finally arrived. And I'm still not 100%. Feeling a bit better than yesterday, but still coughing up chunky phlegm and dealing with stuffy sinus issues. Blech. Maybe some time outside in the warmer temps this weekend will help. Normally on a Friday, Doc would join us by phone, but with Jean in Nashville, he decided to join me in the studio this morning for the entire show, including his weekly Racing Report thanks to County Materials in Holmen. In the news this morning, a deadly helicopter crash in New York yesterday, bridge inspections in the Eau Claire area begin next week, Wisconsin school districts will not be complying with a directive from the Trump administration to eliminate DEI programs, Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler will not run for reelection, road construction on I-90/94 near the Dells begins next week, and Publishers Clearing House is filing for bankruptcy.

Day one of the Masters ended yesterday with Justin Rose in the lead, Alexander Ovechkin got a hero's welcome in Washington last night, and a few NFL refs have been demoted by the league. Elsewhere in sports, a golfer at the Masters was caught peeing in a creek on the course during play, and a bunch of new & mixed-gender events are coming to the LA Olympics in 2028. We let you know what's on TV this weekend and what's in theaters. And check out these heroic state troopers who were able to locate a missing child by helicopter. In the most obvious news of all time, whacking off before bed can help you have a better night's sleep. Tomorrow is "National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day", so we discussed some stats on one of our favorite sammies. And in other food news, a restaurant in South Carolina has a S'mores/Oyster hybrid on it's menu. Sounds disgusting. Betty White lived a very long time and most of us know that a daily hot dog was one of her secrets to a long life. But apparently, she also admitted that some vodka & chocolate cake in the morning might have helped. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a DUI in Iowa involving some construction equipment, a guy in China who loved sniffing his smelly socks so much that he developed a lung infection, a woman who called AAA to fix her flat tire after the cops used spike-strips on her car during a high speed chase, an assistant principal who got a foot massage from a student, and a former judge who shot her ex-husband AND her ex-boyfriend.

We all have these images, these moments from our childhoods that stick with us forever. Perhaps it’s the day you learned to ride on a two-wheel bike or a seemingly simple time when you were playing a board game with your sibling. For writer Andrew Patrie, he’s been exploring some of these memories that he says have been “cauterized” in his mind. He shared a story, “Built to Last,” at a live storytelling event hosted by Wisconsin Public Radio’s “Wisconsin Life” and the Chippewa Valley Writers Guild. It was held on Nov. 14, 2024 in Eau Claire at The Lakely.

We let you know what's on TV this weekend and what's in theaters. Plus, the director of the original "Naked Gun" film isn't a fan of the new reboot after seeing the trailer get released yesterday. Apparently, the number one war to relieve stress is by dancing. I always thought it was having sex. Who knew? And we ran out of time to talk about this yesterday, but 12% of people do NOT bring leftovers home after dining out. The Guinness World Record for the most pull ups in 24 hours is back on American soil thanks to a dude from Utah, and a nearly 100 year-old tortoise is finally becoming a mom for the first time. Doc joined us at 8:15am for his weekly Racing Report thanks to County Materials in Holmen…and a special guest stopped by to say hello to him! In today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaMan who attempted to steal a Cybertruck while on a test drive, a guy who was arrested after he stole his ex's pet chicken, another #FloridaMan who assaulted a woman at a kid's lemonade stand, a man who got busted by U.S. Customs & Border Protection officers with some drugs hidden in his ass, and another fake doctor is in big trouble after a woman went to him to have her butt implants removed.

With two weeks to go before the state's spring election, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz stopped in Wisconsin to rally Democrats. Sheriffs would be required to cooperate with federal immigration authorities under a bill passed by Assembly Republicans. And, union leaders in Madison schools are planning a walkout today.

Can Congress get away with taking away health care from millions to fund huge tax cuts for the rich? We preview Medicaid Town Halls in Wausau, La Crosse and Eau Claire that will help organize resistance to proposed slashing cuts to Medicaid. Meanwhile, Rep. Van Orden continued to hunker down in his basement bunker, holding a virtual town hall where he can avoid answering tough questions after misleading his own constituents about Medicaid cuts he rubber stamped in Congress. We cannot win by surrendering in advance. We continue to encourage Governor Evers to veto any budget the Legislature produces that fails to expand BadgerCare. The Spring Election is around the corner and Brad Schimel rehashes voter fraud conspiracies about Milwaukee that he knows are false. So much for his phony stance as a high minded judge above politics. This week the only debate in the State Superintendent of DPI election was held by WPEN and other allies. This race remains about Jill Underly's dedicated support for improving and properly funding our public schools vs. her opponent who is a supporter of siphoning even more money to private unaccountable voucher schools. Robert educates us on a legal case against Greenpeace who was found liable for $645 million for Dakota Access Pipeline protests that has huge implications for the Constitutional right of free speech and protest. Will this be the beginning of a legal strategy to bankrupt progressive nonprofits to silence free speech and assembly? We close with a soul-searching discussion with James Causey, a longtime columnist with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, on adults forcing police officers back into Milwaukee Public Schools without ever listening to the kids.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz comes to Eau Claire since Congressman Derrick Van Orden seems to have difficulty finding it on a map. And in this week's Climate Check, the debate over the transition from fossil fuels and whether a “bridge” like natural gas is enough of an improvement on coal before embracing solar or wind.

Could set a record today with the temps. Looks like the all-time high in La Crosse is 75° set back in 2012. Even if we don't break the record, it's still going to be friggin' beautiful today. We wrapped up the work week with a couple of new "Date Night" winners thanks to Rocky Rococo's & the Micon Cinemas in Eau Claire…and thanks to Saxon Hall & the Marcus Cinema in La Crosse. Doc joined us just after 8am to talk NASCAR racing courtesy of County Materials in Holmen, and we also took a look at some St. Paddy's Day stats & info as we get prepped for tomorrow's 20th annual St. Paddy's Day .01k to benefit the Hunger Task Force. In the news this morning, three arrests were made in the recent shooting on La Crosse's northside, an American Airlines plane caught fire in Denver leading to passengers on the wing of the plane to avoid the flames, the government is warning people about a toll/text scam, the "influencer" who snatched a baby wombat from it's mother has left Australia & isn't welcome back anytime soon, and a bunch of fish died in Winnishiek County due to a manure run-off. In sports, the Bucks beat the Lakers last night to snap a three-game losing streak, the Badgers beat Northwestern yesterday to advance in the Big 10 Tournament, and after Minnesota's loss on Wednesday…they immediately fired their head coach. Elsewhere in sports, Steph Curry hit another 3-pointer milestone last night, and MLB's regular season starts in Tokyo early next week! And did you see this Cubs player take batting practice with a Samurai sword? We let you know what's on TV & in theaters this weekend, and had a funny story about a cop in #Florida who helped a pizza guy make a delivery. A recent poll found that terrestrial radio is still one of the top ways people consume music. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about the growing interest in threesomes, a #FloridaMan who was stealing lap dances, a woman who left her baby in an Uber, a restaurant that has to compensate it's diners after they found out some 17 year olds pissed in a hotpot, and a flight attendant on Alaska Airlines wants you to come get those hands.

Wisconsin Republican members of Congress are running scared from Medicaid cuts and the cowards are starting to do virtual town halls from bunkers, ducking open face-to-face dialogue with their own constituents. So much for the House of Representatives as the government closest to the people. Meanwhile House Republicans left Washington with no budget deal for a St. Patrick's Day vacation (we didn't know that was a thing), likely forcing a partial government shutdown Friday. Senate Democrats do the right thing and do not allow House Republicans to extort them into signing off on a bad deal which will give Trump and Musk a free hand to continue their unconstitutional assault on the civil service. As we are hurtling towards the critical April1st Supreme Court and Superintendent of Public Instruction elections, Crawford and Schimel debate. Was anyone listening? We welcome Citizen Action Organizer Kristie Tweed to clue us in on upcoming Medicaid Town Halls in La Crosse, Wausau, and Eau Claire later this month. Also, Citizen Action Climate Coordinator Kat Klawes joins us to discuss the path-breaking Climate Accountability Act and how you can get involved with our organizing. We also review the terrifying Mahmoud Khalil case, which reminds us of Red Scares and other dark moments in American history when civil rights were shredded.

Another incredible day in the Coulee Region with highs in the mid-60's today…might even hit EIGHTY tomorrow! Jean was out sick today, but Brian held down the fort. In the news this morning, the Wisconsin clerk who failed to count 200 absentee ballots in the November election has been placed on leave during an investigation, the latest on the Waukesha teen accused of killing his mother & stepfather, a festival in Wisconsin cracked the top five in a recent USA Today readers poll of the best festivals in the country, and the 4th of July fireworks in Eau Claire are back on the calendar! In sports, the Bucks take on the Lakers tonight, we recapped yesterday's Big 10 Tournament action and looked ahead at today's games, Aaron Rodgers is officially a free agent for the first time in his career, and AJ Dillon is on his way to Philly. We talked about what's on TV tonight and also got on the horn with Office Cora to let us know what she's doing in the 715 this weekend. Plus, it's another "Hypothetical Thursday"! Brian's question for Cora was: "What is the largest animal you could physically beat up" And Cora's question for Brian was: "If you could instantly learn one skill, what would it be" Not sure who's doing this…but apparently people are holding in farts. Which isn't good for you, obviously. We ran down a list of problems that can cause. Hulk Hogan is coming to the state of Wisconsin next week to promote his "Real American Beer" in Appleton, Beaver Dam, Watertown, Oconomowoc, Kenosha, Lake Geneva, & Waterford. But he might have some explaining to do about a recent appearance in New York. Did you hear about the ski-jumping scandal in Norway? It involves extra fabric in the crotch area. SCANDALOUS! And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaMan who burned down a strip club & threw a bottle of his urine at officers, a group of men in Memphis who got arrested for blocking an intersection by twerking in the middle of the road, a guy who went nuts on a plane & attacked a flight attendant after swallowing his rosary beads, a woman who allegedly kept her stepson trapped in a house for twenty years, and people are accidentally putting nail glue in their eyes instead of eye drops.

Profound loss has a way of never going away. Writer Amy Fleury moves through her grief on her family's land, where she often thinks about her late son and her own mortality.

It was held on Nov. 14, 2024 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin at The Lakely.

Ever wondered how your backyard rain gauge could help improve weather forecasts and even assist farmers? The National Weather Service is calling on Wisconsin residents to join the CoCoRaHS Network (Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow Network) through their Rain Gauge Rally. This volunteer network of dedicated weather watchers records rainfall, snowfall, and drought conditions right from their own backyards. Whether you're a farmer, teacher, or just fascinated by the weather, your observations can make a big impact. Michelle Margraf, Observation Program Leader with the National Weather Service, says Wisconsin volunteers are already playing a key role — and now there’s a friendly rivalry with Minnesota to recruit even more observers. Your reports could be the difference-maker! Currently, about 26,000 CoCoRaHS observers share data nationwide, including several hundred in Wisconsin. However, more volunteers are needed, particularly in rural areas. Central and northern Wisconsin, including regions between Stevens Point and Eau Claire, as well as north of Wausau, have a greater need for participants. To join the network, visit www.cocorahs.org.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Talked about what's on TV tonight and we also took a look at a list of tips to help your body deal with this weekend's time change. Surprisingly, "taking a nap" isn't on the list, even though today is National Napping Day! 2nd Floor Sarah stopped by just after 8am to let us know what's happening in our area this week, and we found out about a new app that's supposed to help prevent "doomscrolling". Great story about a high school golfer who saved an opponent from drowning after he fell into a water hazard. And check out this horrible list of the "Best Baseball Movies" according to the Hollywood Reporter. Talk about having your head up your ass. No "Major League". No "Sandlot". #ListFAIL Would you try a cheesesteak milkshake? One ballpark is going to be serving them up this summer. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a suspected arsonist who accidentally set himself on fire, a #FloridaWoman who assaulted a guy at a convenience store with a Pringles can, a daredevil named "Rocketman" who missed the landing because the wind changed, a guy who Googled "can I kill an illegal human" before allegedly murdering his undocumented husband, and a guy who picked his nose so much that he ruptured an artery & needed surgery to repair it.

It was the kind of place where parents felt safe letting their kids ride their bikes until the streetlights flickered on. But in the fall of 1995, that sense of security was shattered. A girl vanished without a trace—one moment, she was there, a bright, imaginative 13-year-old with dreams of becoming a writer.

I’ve had some well-documented trouble with our neighborhood squirrels over the last few winters. It could be that most homeowners in the Northeast and beyond feel like they’ve had some sort of conflict with the local squirrels. But we maybe misunderstand squirrels. Their seemingly scattershot behaviors actually suggest a fascinating intelligence and intentionality. And while we see squirrels as a nemesis of birds and bird feeders, squirrels actually plant a lot of the trees birds live and nest in. At the same time, for some people, squirrels are nightmare fuel. And if you happen to suffer from that so-called sciurophobia, don’t read this next thing: It would seem that the normally essentially vegetarian California ground squirrel has recently developed carnivorous hunting skills at the expense of the local vole population.
