On today's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett opens up the show with Jim Moore, the Go-2-Guy, who is back after being out this week getting over a cold.  Jim details his trip to Pullman where he went to celebrate Parents weekend with his kids.  Jim went golfing with one of his son's girlfriend's father and ended up tipping over their golf cart.

A Canadian company plans to begin drilling for precious metals in northern Wisconsin this year. A Wisconsin student is suing WIAA for not letting her play lacrosse. And, WPR's Bridgit Bowden gives us a look at how the dairy industry in Wisconsin could be impacted by President Trump's immigration policy.

The WIAA just did something incredibly cowardly regarding women’s sports. Fox’s Martha MacCallum got into a heated exchange with Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) who denied some of the waste, fraud, and abuse found by DOGE. Washington parents are concerned that colleges and universities aren’t reporting hazing incidents, which they are required to by state law. // LongForm: GUEST: State Rep.

While the buzz has largely been on the national scene with department cuts and program elimination, here in Wisconsin work is quietly ongoing to craft budget plans and programs. Ben Jarboe gets an update on one senator's perspective and objectives. Senator Brad Pfaff grew up in agriculture and was temporary Secretary of Agriculture at WDATCP. He explains to Jarboe what his targets are for agriculture policy and programs moving forward with big emphasis on rural healthcare and more domestic use of products.We've got a little bit of everything coming to Wisconsin weatherwise this week. Stu Muck breaks down what clothes you'll need to stay warm. Sandy Madland is a first generation dairy farmer that shares her voice on the Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin board of directors. Madland farms outside of Lyndon Station but grew up in the West Allis area - removed from agriculture. She tells Charitee Seebecker about the ongoing programs farmers and consumers may notice that elevate awareness of Wisconsin dairy including the current campaign with the WIAA sporting events. Paid for by Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin. Most of us plan and look forward to retirement, but that may not be the case for farmers. Their identity is tied with the farm, the livestock, the daily tasks they perform and it can be tough to decouple from all that. Stephanie Hoff takes a closer look at how to deal with those challenges, and what options might work with University of Missouri Extension Farm Transition Specialist Wesley Tucker. Tucker was a guest at the Professional Dairy Producers annual business meeting in Madison. He says he helps explain ways individuals can maintain their identity as a farmer after "retirement" by transitioning to a role as an advisor/coach/mentor. They may even have more value in this position than when they were calling the shots. It's rare for a farmer to be able to let go of the farm completely. From a mental health standpoint, they need to have a sense of purpose with the farm.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Army Corps of Engineers may fast-track permits for a contested pipeline project in the Great Lakes and a fossil fuel plant in Superior. The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association updated a policy to now bans transgender students from playing in girls sports. And, there's new state legislation that was introduced that would stop local governments from prohibiting chickens or vegetable gardens on private property.

Finally gonna start to warm up over the next few days! And it's basically the weekend! So let's get after it. Started the morning with the abridged, Pat McCurdy version of the Thursday Song…as he'll be in town tomorrow night at the Alpine Inn. In the news, Delta has offered $30,000 to each passenger on the plane that crashed earlier this week in Toronto. And speaking of plane crashes, there was another deadly collision in Arizona yesterday. Also, the Trump administration has given schools & universities two weeks to eliminate diversity initiatives or risk losing federal funding. Kwik Trip made the Forbes list of the top 100 best large employers. And NASA is now looking at obliterating an asteroid that has a slight chance of striking the Earth. In sports, the Bucks return tonight from the All-Star break, the Badgers play Saturday at home against Oregon, and the NHL 4 Nations Face-off Championship game is tonight between the USA & Canada! Plus, there's BASEBALL ON TODAY!!!!!!!! Elsewhere in sports, the FBI has detailed how it tracked down the Chilean gang robbed a bunch of star athletes, and the WIAA has updated it's policies on transgender athletes. We let you know what's on TV tonight and we also talked to Office Cora to see what she's up to this weekend in the 715. Plus, it's "Hypothetical Thursday"…where we ask each other hypothetical questions to see what our responses are. Jean's question for Brian was: If you could have one season last all year long, which would it be? Brian asked Jean: If you could only have ONE condiment for the rest of your life, what would it be? It's also "National Love Your Pet Day", "National Muffin Day", and "National Handcuff Day". Had a cool story about a 94 year-old woman who was recently reunited with a man that she saved from drowning when he was just a toddler…64 years ago! Plus, have you ever wondered why some people can remember their dreams(Jean), and some people cannot(Brian)?? There's been a bunch of research on that subject recently and we took a look at the results. And how much would it take for someone to quit their job & travel the world? In today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a really bad neighbor, an IVF treatment that went extremely bad, a kid who died after injecting himself with butterfly remains, and a burglar who got caught by a "Home Alone" style booby trap!

There's a new poultry guideline that's got producers and regulators talking. Ben Jarboe talks with Ron Kean(cane) the poultry specialist with extension. Kean gives insight to the new rule in poultry that looks to provide transparency in the industry. Cold weather continues in Wisconsin with snow around mid-week according to Stu Muck. It's been almost a year since Wisconsin passed legislation to allow heavier weights of liquid dairy products on state roads. SB 431, passed in March 2024, extends the state’s current allowance for milk hauling of 98,000 pounds over six axles to include all liquid dairy products, such as liquid whey. Stephanie Hoff gets one industry perspective with Luke Buholzer, vice president of Klondike Cheese. Gail Klinkner, dairy farmer from Vernon County and member of the Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin board believes that check-off dollars are being invested wisely to keep the state's dairy reputation growing. She tells Pam Jahnke that one way they do that is by partnering with the WIAA and WSN. Wisconsin Dairy farmers support these teams, individuals, and communities. The focus during these sporting events is to share Wisconsin Dairy Farming messages to audiences that may be removed from agriculture. Sustainability, dairy product nutrition, and economic impact are a focus of our outreach; in fact, “Chocolate Milk is the official beverage of the WIAA”. Athletes at these state tournaments are provided chocolate milk. Promotion and consumption of chocolate milk and its recovery benefits for athletes and fans are showcased on television, social and in stadiums during these tournaments.

All our normal stuff up top and a lot of discussion at the back end.

This is an exciting time of year as Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin (DFW) partners with the WIAA (Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association) and WSN (Wisconsin Sports Network). Dairy farmer, executive board member and WI representative on the National Dairy Board, Gail Klinkner, takes a moment to explain why this partnership is key from a nutritional standpoint, and a "next generation customer" position. Klinkner begins by explaining the dairy farm that her family operates in Western Wisconsin in the community of Viroqua. As a mom, Klinkner has 5 active kids - two of which are involved in high school sports themselves! Klinkner explains that DFW has enjoyed a long standing partnership with WIAA and WSN. Again in 2025, there will be a major messaging emphasis during State Tournaments! Wisconsin Dairy farmers not only support these teams, individuals, and communities, but they also share Wisconsin Dairy Farming messages to audiences that may be removed from agriculture. Sustainability, dairy product nutrition, and economic impact are a focus of the outreach. Appropriately enough, “Chocolate Milk is the official beverage of the WIAA”. Athletes at these state tournaments are provided chocolate milk. Promotion and consumption of chocolate milk and its recovery benefits for athletes and fans are showcased on television, social and in stadiums during these tournaments. Klinkner explains the partnership with WisSports.net that extends beyond the courts to the annual "Wisconsin Dairy Athlete of the Month". This showcase allows dedicated Wisconsin dairy to highlight youth who grow and raise food for their communities. WisSports.net is the go-to location for high school sports schedules, individual athlete and team statistics, as well as state rankings. More than 35 million pages are viewed annually at wissports.net, providing a great platform for athletes, coaches, and fans to see positive dairy messaging and support for our local farmers and athletes across the state. Wisconsin dairy will be recognizing two athletes every month during the campaign. To find out how you can submit an athlete honoree, go to wissports.net, wisconsindairy.org or WSN social media platforms.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After our normal features, we have a little more discussion of the three divisions this week during the top six announcement. We're trying something new.

WIAA finally does what’s right and proposes a league for transgender athletes. Renton police performed a sexual abuse sting operation and one of the suspects is a vice principal at Seattle Public Schools. The Tacoma City Council approved funding in their budget to keep the fire department’s rover program in place. // A Seattle man dressed as a cat asked Jason to support Amnesty International… it didn’t go the way he probably thought it would. // There is a new attack against Pete Hegseth.

Jen Gabe & Chewy start the 2nd hour of the show discussing Matt Bowen from ESPN Rankings of NFL players traits and the best ones at it. Jordan Love is the best deep ball thorwer in the NFL and Chewy does not agree at all. Xavier McKinney gets a nod as well for his ball hawking skills. The WIAA admitted they made an excuse not allowing 2 teams in the High School Football Playoffs due to an error, an error that was spotted early, and they did nothing about. Should the WIAA face repercussions for their mistakes.
