1:00- We take your calls on the Gr8 one's potential FINAL season according to his wife.
Got the lawn mowed yesterday…weather this afternoon is perfect for a lengthy ride on the Harley! Hope you have a great weekend. Maybe I'll see you at the bar somewhere. In the news this morning, Diontae Booth has been arrested, a possible settlement has been reached over visitation rights in the Madeline Kingsbury case, there's an air quality alert in Wisconsin this weekend due to Canadian wildfires, a drug dealer from Onalaska gets 11 years in prison, and Sydney Sweeney is hocking soap made from her bath water. In sports, the Brew Crew start a series against the Phillies in Philadelphia tonight, the Knicks beat the Pacers last night to stay alive in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, and the Edmonton Oilers beat the Dallas Stars to advance to the NHL finals to face the Florida Panthers. Also in the world of hockey, the Seattle Kraken have hired a new coach, and the Washington Capitals had a bit of a snafu regarding Alexander Ovechkin yesterday. We let you know what's on the boob tube this weekend and what's in theaters. Plus, Doc's Racing Report thanks to County Materials in Holmen, and a list of things to look forward to in the month of June! Elsewhere in sports, former La Crosse Logger Chris Sale is now the fastest pitcher with 2,500 career strikeouts, the SEC has updated it's punishment policy for storming the field after a win, and the Diego Maradona trial has been declared invalid. We talked about the winner of the 2025 Scripps National Spelling Bee and took a look at some of the most difficult words to spell. A Marine Veteran in Alaska got pinned by a boulder while hiking and somehow made it out basically unscathed. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", stories about a #FloridaMan who shoved a ferret down his pants, a drunk guy who tried to bribe officers with $20, a guy who tried to burn a restaurant down but lit himself on fire instead, another idiot who was trying to sell a handgun but accidentally shot himself in the leg, a car crashed through the roof of a building, a dude in Ohio who pretended to be a tool rep to steal from a Home Depot, and a woman who claims that she had a sinus infection for several years after smelling her ex's nasty fart.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thanks for listening Washington Capitals fans! The Official Caps Chirp Podcast on The Hockey Podcast Network is back with another incredible episode. The NHL Conference finals are in full swing and we're going to talk all about it. In the West the Edmonton Oilers lead the series 2-1. After dropping a multi goal lead to the Dallas Stars in game 1, the Oilers have charged back and won the last 2 games in convincing fashion. Dallas isn't out of it yet, but they definitely need some of that magic Rantanen power to get them back on track. In the East, the Carolina Hurricanes have turned a hump into Mount Everest as they can seemingly not figure the ECF's out. They are down 3-0 in their series against Florida and haven't won an ECF in 15 straight games. That's insane. If they get swept I'd look for some big changes to the team in the off season. Beyond the NHL, in IIHF World Championship news: the USA has snapped a 92 year drought and brought home gold in the tournament. Canada didn't even medal so we'll be gloating all about that too.

There's a ton of stuff to look back on and smile at when it comes to the 2024-2025 season for the Washington Capitals. A top that list is obviously Ovechkin breaking the goal scoring record, but the Caps over performed this season when everyone thought they'd be dust. Combine that with the power of friendship that has propelled this team to new heights and the Caps have a lot to be proud of.
