National Potato Day. Tots > all other forms of 'taters.

from ROCK MORNINGS · host Brian Simpson

After getting drenched yesterday, it looks like we'll stay dry today, and for most of the rest of the week! In the news this morning, the wanted MN man was captured in Rochester, a Jackson County Sheriff's Sergeant has been charged with reckless injury, upgrades are coming to Carson Park in Eau Claire, Brad Pfaff introduces legislation to create a tax-free holiday for "Back To School" shopping, an update on Hurricane Erin, and Ozempic is lowering it's prices if you pay in cash. In sports, the Brewers blanked the Cubs in the first game of their doubleheader yesterday before being rained out in the 2nd game, the Bengals took care of the Commanders on MNF last night, a look at the final week of the NFL preseason, the Browns name a starting QB for the regular season, and the NASCAR Xfinity series is getting a new title sponsor in 2026. Elsewhere in sports, an Omaha basketball player drowns, Victor Robles threw his bat at a pitcher during a rehab start in the minors, and the Spike Lee/Colin Kaepernick docuseries will no longer air on ESPN. We let you know what's on TV today/tonight and also let you know what's new on DVD for New Release Tuesday. Plus, Grant Bilse from the Wisco Sports Show returned from his fishing trip to Montana and joined us just after 8am this morning. Today is "National Potato Day", so we looked at some of our favorite homemade potato dishes. Also, a recent survey asked people what motivates them…and it's pretty obvious that cash is King. Funny story about a peacock named "Kevin" on the loose. A dog that's been missing for six years was recently reunited with it's family. And a woman in Ohio launched the "Dad Letters Project" where people can request uplifting & encouraging letter from her dad. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about some raccoons that broke into a house in #Florida and had a party, a guy who stole a construction crane and creates some serious chaos, a DUI stop turned into a two-for-one, a #FloridaMom who packed a gun in her kid's backpack for school, and a couple that lived with the dead body of a romantic partner for almost two years to steal his Social Security money.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
