What a week, on and off the air! Heat, humidity, rain and saying goodbye to celebs. Here’s some of what we did on the show, besides the above.

  1. A new survey of Americans said mosquitoes are the worst part of summer. (we needed a survey to know that?)
  2.  A speed camera in Italy handed a driver a fine for taking her Ford Focus up to 437 miles per hour. Officials said it was a computer glitch and the woman didn’t have to pay the fine.
  3. According to a survey by Gerber (the baby food people) one out of three 1-year old’s have a social media account. (I didn’t realize there were so many babies that had access to computers)
  4. We whine and complain more on Mondays than any other day of the week. (Get ready, it’s only a couple days away!)
  5. Passengers had to get off a train in Scotland after an unattended piece of luggage sparked a security alert. The suspicious item turned out to be a cardboard box containing smelly tennis shoes. (good thing they weren’t on a plane!)
  6. The U.S. is losing its lead in science and technology. (but we do lead the world in complaining on TikTok so we got that going for us)

Have a great weekend, and thanks for listening! Let’s do it again next week.

Mike is BACK on the air every morning all across Eau Claire and the Chippewa Valley on 105-7 CFW! With over 28+ years in the Chippewa Valley, this has become home for Mike and his wife Lori. His kids grew up here and they still live here as well. When he's not on the air waking up the Valley, Mike spends time working around the house and yard as well as relaxing on the deck, usually more time relaxing than working! Weekends mean exploring the area and even after all these years, both he and his wife Lori still find things they've never seen before. Mike enjoys a little bit of online poker and spending quality time with his Pomeranian GiGi and kitty "Violet". Oh, and hockey is the only sport that matters in his house, "GO WILD"!
