Let’s take a peek at what went down this week on the radio.

  1. So much great music!
  2. There’s a company that made a phone for your pet! It’s around $90, a little box that attaches to the collar of your dog or cat. You can track them on it, play music for them, or call them, and the best part, there’s a mic on it so they can talk (or bark) back to you.
  3. A global survey said you should stop saying “Happy New Year” to people by January 10th.
  4. According to HR directors the number one reason people lose their job in January is because of something they did or said at the office/company Holiday party! (that’s the only reason to go, to hear and see the stuff your coworkers do)
  5. A start-up in Canada created a prototype of airbags for pants that can detect when you fall and inflate in a split-second. They claim the pants can sense the difference between a fall and just sitting down on the couch. They’re about $1500.
  6. Samsung has unveiled a 130-inch TV called ‘The Wall.’ It’s more than 5 feet tall and 9 and a half feet wide. (can you imagine playing GTA on that?!?!)

It was a great week, thanks for letting me part of yours! Have a fantastic weekend and let’s do it again next week. As always, THANKS for listening!

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"!
