Brian recaps his meet-n-greet with Peter Billingsley.

from ROCK MORNINGS · host Brian Simpson

Another foggy start to the day with much colder temps ahead! In the news this morning, former President Jimmy Carter died over the weekend, a Wisconsin man killed a woman in Kentucky, a plane crash in South Korea killed 179 people on board, a Colorado man attacked a news reporter, and another update on the plane crash in Kazakhstan last week. In sports, the Packers made it interesting, but lost to the Vikings yesterday, and the NFL playoff picture got a bit clearer after this weekend's games. Plus, the NHL Winter Classic is scheduled for tomorrow in Chicago, and we took a look at the upcoming College Football Bowl games. How many "lazy days" do you need in a year? The average American says they need 60…seems a bit low. Brian recapped his trip to Milwaukee this weekend to see "A Christmas Story" at the Pabst Theater along with a meet-n-greet with the film's star, Peter Billingsley. Cool story about Lowe's donating a bunch of tiny homes to areas of North Carolina still reeling from the destruction caused by Hurricane Helene. Today is National Bacon Day, so celebrate by eating all the Bacon! Maybe stop by Buffalo Wild Wings & try their Bacon Day special. 2nd Floor Sarah stopped by just after 8am to let us know what's happening in the area this week, and the world of Chess has a new scandal involving someone's jeans! In today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a goat murder, a couple of guys who died while trying to find a Sasquatch, a man with a machete in the parking lot of a Family Dollar store, and a mom who abandoned her baby to go gambling at a casino.
