Doc hooked us up with a Racing Report Extra thanks to County Materials in Holmen & Eau Claire. Check out the scheduled action for tonight at the Red Cedar Speedway! It's "One Gotta Go Wednesday" and we had to pick between four of our favorite candies: Reese's PB Cups, KitKat, Twix, & Snickers! Tough decision to make. In the news this morning, a #FloridaWoman is arrested after leaving her kid in a hot car for several hours while she went to donate plasma, a man in Appleton tried to burn a Pride flag, Peabo Bryson passed away, apparently Google is releasing millions of mosquitos in #Florida, and some vandals tried to sabotage the Freedom 250 event happening in DC.

    Things to look forward to in June. The most misspelled words in America. Wild turkeys are attacking!

    Here we go with another full 5-day work week. This is some BS. Got a bit of rain during the overnight with more on the way later this week. Save me some money on my water bill. On the show today, being that it's the first day of June, we hooked you up with a list of things to look forward to in the new month…including movies, TV shows, sporting events, and "holidays". Also took a look at a list of the most misspelled words in every state. In the news this mornings, an "influencer" gets banned from Cedar Point after trying to eat food while on a ride, a United flight had to turn around & return to the airport after some kid named his Bluetooth device "bomb", another United flight had to divert to Madison after a passenger became unruly, a recall on a fabric dresser sold at Walmart, and a teen girl stabbed a bunch of horses at a barrel racing event in Las Vegas.

    Hello, Friday! Warm weather, plenty of sun, and nothing to do this afternoon! Hope you have a great weekend as we get ready to turn the page in the calendar to JUNE on Monday. In the news this morning, an updated on the Lynette Hooker disappearance in the Bahamas, a slew of artists are already backing out of the Freedom 250 concert in Washington DC, another billionaire's rocket explodes on the launchpad, and we might be getting $250 bills with Trump's face on them.

A new poll asked people to list some signs that someone has "made it"…and apparently a walk-in closet is in the top 10. Also, with Summer right around the corner, you might want to ease up on the DEET when you're chilling in the backyard. Allegedly, mosquitos can get used to it if you over-spray the stuff. Check out this barber in Iowa who is turning a negative into a positive after suffering a stroke while on the job, and a new program in the Netherlands is turning discarded cigarette butts into free food for people who collect them. Doc joined us just after 8am to talk racing thanks to County Materials in Holmen & Eau Claire.

We talked about what's on TV today/tonight…and the latest workout craze, which is apparently a blend of chess….and boxing? This week's edition of "One Gotta Go Wednesday" was about breakfast foods. More specifically, the sweet kind. We had to choose between waffles, pancakes, French toast, & cinnamon buns.
