It’s another amazing week on the show, and as always a BIG thanks to you for listening. Here’s a bit of what happened.

  1. Music, music and more music!
  2. Australia’s version of the Tour de France bike race had a wild finish when two kangaroos decided to cross the road just as the racers were headed into the final stretch. The ‘roos bounced away unharmed, the racers were not seriously hurt. (Do they tell the racers, you may get hit by a kangaroo during the race? That’s something I would want to know)
  3. LEGO teamed up with Crocs to unveil the first-ever LEGO shoes that look like giant red LEGO bricks, but with a hole for your foot. They cost about $150.
  4. Research shows the average retiree starts getting bored just over a year into retirement.
  5. Remember Michael Jackson’s BFF, his pet chimp Bubbles. The 43-year-old is living his best life at the Center for Great Apes in Wauchula, Florida. He’s been there since 2005. His keepers say he enjoys a peaceful life in a naturalistic environment with other chimpanzees, engaging in activities like painting and climbing. (He also loves to wear a hat and one glove when he “moonwalks” like Michael did)
  6. According to a poll, one in five women and one in six men believe that the winner of big games like the Super Bowl are picked in advance. (not true, but the playoff games are!)

Thanks for listening, have a great weekend and let’s do it again next week!

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"!
