Mornings with Mike McKay
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"!

That wasn’t suppose to happen!
Ever have one of those days? You know, you have a plan and then here comes the curveball. Last weekend the plan was grab new pedestals for our washer and dryer. When I come out of the store my truck won’t start. Dead battery? Nope, dead starter. After an hour or so wait for a […]

Who’s eating all the Peeps?!
According to recent research around 1.5 Billion Peeps were consumed around the Easter season. But, I have to be honest, most people I talk to don’t eat them. I guess the Peep is one of those either you love ’em or leave ’em type candy. And where did they come from? Here’s what I found […]

But you just said that was good for us.
Ever come across a story that tells you “don’t eat this” or “make sure you eat this”? I do, ALL THE TIME. But, it also seems like a short time after I see something I should be doing there’s a new ‘study’ that tells me not to do it, or eat it, or wear it. […]

You’re distracted because of….
You! That’s the findings of a new study by the London School of Economics. Our phones cause a lot of those distractions but even when our phones are out of reach, we just find other ways to distract ourselves – like scrolling on our computers instead. The truth is, it’s not simply the phone that’s […]

You asked to see it, here you go!
I told you on the show about the girl who got her hand stuck in her boyfriend’s mouth. They were doing a video for their social media page (of course). She wanted to prove her fist would fit in her boyfriends mouth, it did, but then his jaw locked. They ended up in the E.R. […]

You eat what? With what?
I was inspired by a thread on Reddit with people discussing strange food combos. The thing, it’s only strange to other people, not to the people that eat them. My family thought I was nuts when I would eat potato chips or french fries with our pizza, until they tried it. I guess this is […]

Don’t forget this Saturday night (3/8) to move your clocks AHEAD one hour before you go to bed or you’ll be running late on Sunday. It’s Daylight Savings time again. The good thing is most of the clocks do it themselves, our phones, computers, laptops, tablets etc. But, there’s a few that don’t. In my […]
