We discuss the priority of Severe Weather and breaking into live programming. People are HEATED that TMJ4 broke in to ‘The Voice’ season finale. We play old voicemails, emails that we’ve got directed at TV. But, it’s important we let people know about weather that is headed our way – weather that has killed people in just a state over.

Susan Kim always shows her work. A cicadas report with the first emerging from Wisconsin! An important discussion on why we break into regular programming to discuss severe weather. People get upset. But, here's our reasoning.
This is why we have to explain to people why breaking in for severe weather coverage is important. We recap the night in weather with TMJ4 Meteorologist Brendan Johnson. Also this hour, Brewers 360 with Jeff Levering, the UWM apology, and an update on why there was such a heavy police presence in downtown Milwaukee early yesterday afternoon
TMJ4 Meteorologist Brendan Johnson joins the program to recap the severe weather that hit our area overnight. Some parts of the state got up to 70 mph winds. Milwaukee only got clipped but conditions way worse north. Brendan details the overnight hours, the damage in differing parts of the state, and what data we will have as the day continues.

Dr. Ken Harris joins the program and the scooters are back! Where does Dr. Ken fall on the scooters issue? Dr. Ken cites reckless driving as a reason for these scooters’ return as being not a good idea. Will he ever be convinced that these are good for Milwaukee?

The Cicadas are here! The first reported case of Cicadas confirmed by the DNR in Lake Geneva! We play audio from TMJ4 who broke the story and what great audio we have to accompany this piece with.
An interesting discussion of the tolerance of dogs in public places. This comes from the story of the dog biting a patron at the Madison Goodwill. Who is responsible for who? And when did this attitude with dogs change?
The saying every dog owner has said at least once in their life. We get in to a discussion of dogs being, basically everywhere after a dog bit someone in a Goodwill in Madison. We talk that, the severe weather on the way, and comedian Brad Williams joins the program ahead of his show at the Pabst Theater next weekend.
Comedian Brad Williams joins the program ahead of his back-to-back dates at the Pabst Theater. Brad, a little person, talks about how his jokes are received in his community. We also ask Brad how he got into comedy, when he realized he was funny, and how he got sent to the principal’s office on the first day of kindergarten.
Just when you think you're really helping - reality hits. We get into Erik's tiny library adventure. Plus a look at the record day in Trump's Hush Money Trial case. We look at severe weather headed to the area with Brian Niznansky, and Brewers 360 with Manager Pat Murphy!
Brewers 360 with The Skipper Pat Murphy! Starting with last night, Yelich stole home. How awesome! We talk about that play, the Jackson Churio play where he didn’t dive for a play, and another injury to the starting pitching staff.
Some severe weather headed our way late tonight. It was raining for a time with some thunder rumbles yesterday. But this time around could be a little more hectic more north of the city. TMJ4 Chief Meteorologist Brian Niznansky details as he joins the program for his weekly appearance. We also talk timing of these storms and the impact it’ll have on the rest of the week.

The fascination with free things might be our downfall. We lead this hour with weather, as severe weather is on it's way to our area tonight. We also talk about a dog who bit a patron in the Goodwill just outside of Madison. We get into the shots fired on the freeway case, Trump's Hush Money trial, and we talk senioritis with Lori Nickel
Lori Nickel joins the program and we soak up the senioritis and it is real! Why is it this time of year where productivity seems to come to a screeching halt? As Lori explains, it’s about being in the zone. And you know where she isn’t? The zone.
This is our coverage of the Baltimore Bridge Boat collapse clean up. Riveting stuff. This hour we also get in to the revival of cemeteries, and the state GOP convention with very unenthusiastic gavel-ings
I still don't want to pay tolls though... Vince returns from NYC and details his journey and observations on the way. We also have The Week Ahead, a little more audio from the Sade Robinson graduation ceremony, and Dom Cotroneo is our Brewers 360 guest!
Brewers 360 with Dominic Cotroneo – After some technical difficulties we get into the Brewers’ three series road trip that just wrapped up it’s first leg against the Astros who are just finding their stride.

The Week Ahead! A look at everything coming up on our show, what you will see on your timeline, and everything to do in the area. Another Presidential Dinner this week, Michael Cohen expected to take the stand again in President Trump’s Hush Money trial. Will Trump take the stand?

Have you ever gone to a cemetery to see a movie? What about Farmer’s Markets? This is what it takes for cemeteries to make money once the plots are sold out. Anything to get people in Cemeteries (with an option to leave. Get it?) This not only helps with funds but helps the upkeep with Cemeteries. Also, the quality of the cemetery keeps business alive.
