Top resolutions for 2026. Grant's fancy dinner menu. Brian wins the Pigskin Picks challenge!

from ROCK MORNINGS · host Brian Simpson

As we continue to get closer to 2026, we had more year-end lists this morning, including Apple Music's top artists & songs of the last year, Rolling Stone's top albums & songs of 2025, and Loudwire's top songs & albums from the past twelve months. Plus, a look at some of the top resolutions people are making for 2026. We also let you know what's on TV today/tonight and what's new on New Release Tuesday. In the news this morning, a massive investigation is underway in Minnesota for daycare fraud, the Bondi Beach hero just gave his first interview after getting out of the hospital, a hospital security guard was killed on Christmas day, and Wendy's is offering Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers for a penny today for National Bacon Day. Great story about a restaurant that cancelled it's holiday party and donated all the money they would have spent to one of their employees who was adopting a child. In sports, the Falcons beat the Rams on MNF to wrap up week 17, a look at the schedule for the final week of the regular season, a look at the upcoming Bowl game schedule, the Bucks got another win last night, the Badger men's basketball team plays tonight after a lengthy holiday break, UFC fighter Tom Aspinall needs multiple eye surgeries, Ryan Lochte is selling some of his Olympic medals, and tragedy strikes the world of NASCAR yet again with the deadly fire at Denny Hamlin's parents' home. And speaking of the last couple of weeks of regular season NFL action, we checked in on our Pigskin Picks for week 17 and made our picks for the final week.(Brian won the contest!) Grant Bilse of the Wisco Sports show joined us just after 8am to talk about his Christmas break, his plans for New Year's Eve, and we also talked a bit about the Packers. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a former substitute teacher from Texas who's been charged with child sexual assault, a sad update on former Nickelodeon star Tylor Chase, a #FloridaMan who was ringing the bell for the Salvation Army and decided to get violent, and a #FloridaWoman who shot her own son after a Christmas brunch.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
