They fixed the roads. Well, the one called Cass Street. But bumpouts and zig-zagging bike lanes aren't quite the answer. But there's another dilemma by Longfellow Middle School. Students say drivers aren't paying attention and blowing by the area willy nilly. Stop signs, bump-outs, speed bumps? What's the fix? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Your guess is as good as mine! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We started talking about leaf pickup and that kind of led to farming, and Ron Kind's decision not to support the farm bill, which Mitch agreed with.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Does a woman who got six DUIs between 1989-2002, then her seventh in 2018 deserve to go to jail?  Meanwhile, the incoming governor, Tony Evers, has talked of prison reform, as Wisconsin has 23,000 people in prison to Minnesota's 10,000. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mitch witnesses driver not pulling over for fire truck. Fire truck driver calls in with his accounts of similar situations.  We also talked Mindoro, Wis., cuisine.  And, near the end, we play the Trump-Pelosi-Schumer sound and discuss its ridiculousness. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the first hour, Mayor Tim Kabat stopped in to talk about all things La Crosse ... and Wisconsin. He was joined right away with Lt. Gov.-elect Mandela Barnes. In the second hour, we talk more on Cass Street, parking, Number 3 working as a 6 year old -- and driving for work at 9. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A texter said the two are insulting and pathetic. We weren't sure if these were nicknames. Like, Rick is pathetic and Mitch is insulting. The Insulting and Pathetic Show staring Mitch and Rick. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Icy sidewalks after a snow will get you a hefty bill from the city. Or maybe a scheming neighbor, who ratted you out to the city. Along with that, we, again, discussed how hard the Wisconsin GOP was also schemin...working for the people deep into the night and early morning. For us. The people.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Biking on Cass Street in the winter is even more fun than in summer. The La Crosse Center is ready to pick a plan for its $42 million expansion. And, walking the line on the lame duck session put forth by Wisconsin's GOP See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We had a couple guests on. One, a hockey player that experienced the earthquake in Alaska. Also, a UW doctor that's helping create the electric band-aid. After that, a free for all. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We talked about a slew of topics. The bike report coming out next month. Eau Claire lowering first-time marijuana charges to $1 and the giant home Dave and Barb Erickson want to donate to veterans. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

More news on Joe Gow's dirty little secret of having a porn start talk on campus. OK, it wasn't a secret but it wasn't super publicized, and therein seems to lie the problem, as the UW System president has come down on Gow to a degree -- WITH A LETTER. What we would like to know, is how this went over at the Gow family dinner table. #Sarcasm See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We talked to Julie McDermid with the La Crosse Collaborative to End Homelessness right off the bat and discussed that issue the first hour.

We dedicated an entire show, not just to Thanksgiving leftovvers, but mainly the Mitch and Rick's differenciating opinion on whether green bean casserole is good. There was also some Packers talk, as everyone begins to jump off the bandwagon. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We took a grim look at Thanksgiving, a day before the holiday.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Amongst the things discussed, was the photo of the Baraboo HS kids doing a group "Sieg Heil" photo before prom last spring. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Hortonville business, where Rick went to high school, gave its employees guns for Christmas.  After a productive conversation about that, we discussed what roles city workers would have as Star Wars characters.

Callers picked the topics. We hit roads quite a bit. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
