Hotels on the moon. Don't fish too close to me.

from ROCK MORNINGS · host Brian Simpson

And just like that, it's Friday! We've got snow in the forecast today and then brutally cold temps this weekend. In the news this morning, the Milwaukee father accused of locking six kids in a storage locker has been found guilty, President Trump is threatening to use the Insurrection Act to help handle the situation in Minneapolis, a recall on bottled water that was distributed to several states in the Midwest including Wisconsin, and Matthew McConaughey has trademarked the phrase "alright, alright, alright" to keep it from falling into the evil hands of A.I. Speaking of artificial intelligence, we had a couple of additional stories about the technology this morning. Including a professor from Canada who got all his news from A.I. bots for a full month. And his data says that the news it fed him was fully accurate just 47% of the time…partially accurate 45% of the time…and the other 8% was bullshit. Plus, 41% of travelers claim they'll trust A.I. recommendations over their friends and social media. Which feels sad. In sports, the Bucks lost again last night to the Spurs, the Badger men's basketball team takes on Rutgers tomorrow, the NFL divisional round kicks off tomorrow afternoon & concludes on Sunday, and another betting scandal in the world of college basketball. Today is "National Boston Day". It's also "Appreciate a Dragon Day", and "International Fetish Day". So celebrate accordingly! We let you know what's on TV this weekend and what's new in theaters. Additionally, the new "Baywatch" show is holding an open casting call if you think you've got what it takes! Cool story about a retiring news anchor from Philly who is now a Guinness World Record holder, and a Canadian lottery winner decided to help others during the holidays after collecting a massive jackpot! Elsewhere in sports, Clayton Kershaw is going to pitch for Team USA in the upcoming World Baseball Classic, and the latest on that Olympic hockey rink. The astronauts successfully returned to Earth from the space station after one of them had a medical emergency. And a start-up company is trying to rent hotel rooms on the moon. Good luck with that. Doc recorded a Racing Report extra for us thanks to County Materials in Holmen. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy who was trying to take a nap when a car crashed into his home & landed on top of him, a bunch of driverless delivery trucks in China are basically ramming into everything like a scene from "Grand Theft Auto", a dude who impersonated a cop so he could get free donuts, & a guy in Canada who assaulted another dude because he was ice fishing too close to his spot.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
