WAPL Mornings with Laura Lee & Cutter

The Jesus and Mary Chain recently claimed Eddie Van Halen "ruined rock guitar" because generations of players spent decades trying and mostly failing to copy him. That's a strange complaint. When your argument is essentially "he was so good that everyone imitated him," you're accidentally making the case for his greatness. Eddie didn't ruin guitar, he reinvented it. His technique, creativity, tone, songwriting, and rhythm playing changed the instrument forever. And while Jim and William Reid made some influential records of their own, taking shots at one of the most transformative guitarists in rock history feels a bit like complaining that Michael Jordan ruined basketball because too many kids wanted to dunk.

Have you ever gotten into someone else's car or an Uber, or a taxi, and seen something that made you think twice about being in said vehicle?

It's one thing to have a pregame routine. It's another to have a routine that sounds like it was invented by a seven-year-old on a dare. For eating live bugs (and not because she has to or she'll starve-type of situation) Hannah Wells should feel shame, shame, shame.

May 23rd -- Muskego-- Caller reported that a vehicle that he had parked in a parking lot "well over a year ago" was missing. Police determined that it had been towed away, and was sitting in a tow yard May 25th -- Beloit-- Caller reported that a motorcyclist was down, laying next to his bike. EMS paged, officers sent. Found motorcycle on kickstand, motorcyclist was laying next to it doing a roadside repair May 25th -- Janesville-- Caller reported that a "Chevy was doing wheelies" in a park. Officers found no Chevys doing wheelies, stated that caller was intoxicated May 26th -- Janesville-- 1:45 pm-- Motel 6-- Female "on drugs of some sort per caller" was knocking on doors, asking guests if they wanted to argue with her. (Not sure what she wanted to argue about....) I do appreciate that the woman on drugs gave people a choice if they wanted to argue with her. Like no thank you, Imma go back to playing cozy games on my Switch. This and more on this weeks Small Town Crime Wave!

A United flight headed to Mallorca turned around mid-trip after crew members spotted a Bluetooth device named "BOMB" on the cabin network. After repeated requests for the owner to identify themselves went nowhere, the pilots decided that "probably a joke" wasn't a great basis for aviation security policy. The plane returned to Newark, passengers got re-screened, and authorities found no actual threat. Allegedly, it all stemmed from a teenager naming a device "bomb," proving that the world's most expensive Bluetooth joke still isn't very funny. For this, this person should feel shame, shame, shame.

Signs are on the roads for a reason. Yes, sometimes it's a pain in the butt to have to find an alternative route but I promise you, ignoring the signs is not going to get you to your final destination any faster. When you ignore road signs, you may become our Weenie Of The Week!

A luxury penis cream company is suing Brad Pitt because his skincare brand changed its name to “Beau Domaine,” which the penis cream people say sounds too much like their own brand, “Beau D.”Yes. This is real. Somewhere in California, a room full of lawyers had to seriously discuss penis cream branding strategy.The company behind the lawsuit, Beau D., says Pitt’s rebrand could confuse customers and damage their identity in the marketplace. Because apparently there’s a major overlap between people shopping for anti-aging grape extract moisturizer and people thinking, “Wait… is this the luxury genital paste company?”Beau D. reportedly tried three times to settle things privately before filing suit, seeking over $75,000 in damages and demanding Pitt stop using the name entirely.The company’s founder insists this isn’t about publicity, which is a bold statement from a brand whose website reportedly features a sperm-shaped cursor.Meanwhile, Brad Pitt has not publicly commented, which is probably wise, because there is absolutely no dignified way to begin a sentence with:“So about this penis cream situation…”

This love letter is sweet and sour!

Pro tip, if you're a CEO of a company vs a family... be the bigger person and maybe your company won't catch major negative feedback on the internet. For the CEO of Bricks & Minifigs not getting this concept, he should feel shame, shame, shame.

A Top 10 and we tally up your votes for best local hamburger joint for National Hamburger Day!

Today was supposed to be the day Grand Theft Auto VI finally launched, but Rockstar Games has once again left fans staring at an empty release date.The game was originally slated for May 26, 2026 before being delayed again to November 19, 2026, pushing it even further back despite years of anticipation and hype. Rockstar’s explanation is the same familiar refrain, they need more time to “deliver at the level of quality players expect and deserve.” But after multiple delays stretching the game years beyond its earlier targets, it’s hard not to see a pattern of repeated postponements that keeps moving the goalposts on one of the most anticipated games in history.So instead of playing GTA 6 today, fans are left with screenshots, trailers, and yet another reminder that Rockstar’s perfectionism comes at the cost of patience...again. For making us wait, mooooooore, Rockstar should feel shame, shame, shame.

Two smartie-smarts battle it out for Meatfest tickets on todays Generation Altercation!

At the French Open, Arthur Gea was in the middle of a match when his stomach apparently declared war on him. After trying to tough it out, he walked to the chair umpire and essentially said, “I’m gonna sh** myself,” before sprinting off court for an emergency bathroom break. The crowd got treated to the rare “gastrointestinal timeout” category of professional tennis drama, which honestly feels like the natural evolution of a sport already fueled by grunting, suffering, and people requesting medical attention because the sun exists.But these things DO happen and the French Open official who told him to wait until after the match should feel shame, shame, shame.

May 16th - City of Eau ClaireA guy on a motorcycle was intentionally revving his bike next to a police car, but he had no plate on the bike, and he also had a revoked license, so he was arrested May 18th - City of MonroeA woman reported that she was at a guy’s apartment, and he was running around the building. When Police Officers arrived, they found out that she had some sort of restraining order to not have contact with him. May 18th - City of JanesvilleThe Police are looking for a woman who has stolen lemons and Corona from multiple stores May 18th - City of ShullsburgA suspicious man threw a bible at people after answering the door and was then rambling on about ordering stuff on the internet, using their account. I wonder if the guy knew a cop was next to him when he revved his engine because if you do that AND your license is revoked, that's not just small town crime wave.. that's grounds for potential weenie of the week. This sillyness and more on this weeks, Small Town Crime Wave!

A guy in Fond du Lac apparently decided real life needed more The Dukes of Hazzard energy, leading deputies on a high-speed chase that ended with his car literally going airborne before crashing. Unfortunately for him, this wasn’t TV, there was no freeze-frame jump over a creek, no triumphant banjo music, and Boss Hogg wasn’t around to post bail.. but he IS our Weenie Of The Week!

You know France doesn't give a flip about us when they're yeeting humans potentially saddled with ebola to the states. They need to feel shame, shame, shame.

It might be in the upper 40's today but summer IS coming, at some point... soon(ish). Even if it's cold outside, we have the Top 10 Signs Summer is coming.

A 70-year-old Texas man apparently saw Tesla’s “Wade Mode” feature and decided that meant his Cybertruck had officially evolved from pickup truck to discount Coast Guard vessel, so he intentionally drove it into Grapevine Lake at Katie’s Woods Park near Dallas to test it.The stainless-steel polygon immediately became disabled within minutes, started taking on water, and forced the driver and passengers to crawl out the window. Tesla’s manual actually says Wade Mode is only meant for shallow water crossings up to about 32 inches deep.Police said the driver admitted he did it on purpose because he believed the Cybertruck could handle it. Authorities then had to bring in the Grapevine Fire Department Water Rescue Team and a crane to fish the electric refrigerator out of the lake like some kind of failed billionaire-themed fishing tournament.He was arrested on multiple charges, including operating a vehicle in a closed lake area, lacking proper water safety equipment, and in possibly the funniest legal detail of 2026, not having valid boat registration paperwork. Texas law basically looked at the submerged Cybertruck and said, “Fine. If you insist it’s a boat, then it’s a boat.” For being a bad ow... well for just being an owner of a Cybertruck, he should feel shame, shame, shame.

Meaties Cereal: At $14 a pop for 8oz of ground beef cereal, it's a no from us, dawg.

The self-driving Waymo cars are clogging a quiet cul-de-sac outside of Atlanta. Not just a couple, but upwards of 50 cars passing through in a single hour. They're programming to go hang out when not in use. I wanna know who it was though who decided this was a good place to send idle Waymo's. Waymo for being bad neighbors, should feel shame, shame, shame.

The French phrase "se taper le cul par terre" means to laugh uproariously. According to Google Translate, though, it means "Banging ass on the floor................"

Tom Brady on a catwalk has the same energy as a substitute teacher trying to use Gen Z slang. Tom Brady traded touchdowns for the runway this weekend, stomping through Gucci’s NYC fashion show dressed like a luxury Terminator in head-to-toe black leather. The seven-time Super Bowl champ hit the catwalk in Times Square alongside actual models and celebrities, but social media immediately noticed one thing, the man walks like he’s trying not to spill soup.F1 star Lewis Hamilton was also there, with the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Shawn Mendes, Kim Kardashian and other celebrities in attendance.Brady's appearance capped off a busy Saturday that also included a commencement speech he delivered at Georgetown University earlier in the day. Brady looked absurdly expensive, which is basically half of modeling anyway. I'm all for trying new things but learn how to walk the walk! Tom Brady for not knowing how to walk a catwalk should feel shame, shame, shame.

Apparently showing some male cleavage is hot these days. You do you, just know you're gonna be judged for it... in these ten ways...

May 9th - City of Eau ClaireA man with no pants on is yelling at people passing by for the 5th time May 10th - City of Eau Claire2 drivers got into a "very minor" crash in a parking lot. But that didn’t stop them from getting out and began fighting. Then a 3rd person became involved. Officers arrived to find one guy knocked out unconscious, and another with a chipped tooth. May 10th - Municipality of TurtleA neighbor's goat is in a person’s driveway again May 10th - Village of PoynetteNumerous people reported an SUV swerving and after the State Patrol located it, The driver was arrested for OWI-11th offense I'm telling you right now if I were Queen of the world, anyone after their like 3rd OWI offence would lose their hands. You'd get robot hands that would slap you if you tried to drive drunk. This and more on this weeks Small Town Crime Wave!

The lesson here is just don't try to smuggle things into a prison, unless it's plums.

According to federal investigators, 38-year-old Igor Mykhaylovych Lytvynchuk allegedly picked up a “coconut-sized” rock and hurled it at an endangered Hawaiian monk seal near Lahaina, Maui. The seal involved is part of a critically endangered species with only around 1,600 left. So congratulations to this guy for beefing with an animal population smaller than most high schools.The internet reaction was immediate, and Hawaii locals were especially unimpressed. Reports later surfaced showing him getting physically confronted by a local after the video spread online and Hawaii State Senator Brenton Awa presented a "Letter of Recognition" to an anonymous Maui local who was recorded beating up a tourist.According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Lytvynchuk was arrested by Special Agents of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on Wednesday, May 13.Lytvynchuk could face up to one year in prison for each charge, as well as a term of supervised release if found guilty.Under the Endangered Species Act, he could be fined up to $50,000. Lytvynchuk could also be fined up to $20,000 under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, per the release. For being an overall bad dude, Igor should feel shame, shame, shame.

A Kentucky mom, 27-year-old Brook McDaniel, got arrested after allegedly giving her 22-month-old son a tattoo... because apparently “terrible parenting decisions” wasn’t enough of a hobby. Police say they found the toddler with a black dot tattoo on his forearm and redness around it after responding to a child abuse complaint. Her explanation? She claimed she was tattooing her own leg when the toddler “stuck his arm in the way” of the tattoo gun. Which is a bold defense considering tattoo guns are not exactly rogue garden sprinklers. Police also described the home conditions as “deplorable,” which really completes the “county fair parking lot at 2 a.m.” aesthetic this story has going on. Authorities contacted Kentucky child services, and McDaniel was charged with fourth-degree assault. Bond was set at $5,000. So for being a pretty really super bad mom, Brook should feel shame, shame, shame.

Looks-maxxing, ball-maxxing, scent-maxxing??? I'll be nap-maxxing later on today. Looksmaxxing is an online self-improvement practice focused on the process of maximizing one's physical attractiveness. So, what's your "maxxing?"

Dude who broke into a rental car that was rented by people from Beyonce's camp plead guilty to the crime. He stole unrealesed music and a couple laptops and while yes, she can afford to replace that stuff easily, it still sucks so hard to get your stuff stolen. Kelvin Evans for taking what's not his, should feel shame, shame, shame.

The event is this Saturday from 2-6pm at the Automobile Gallery. More infomation HERE! and tickets HERE!

Cumberbatch had the most proper arugment with another cyclist in London. He said he was being verbally abused and the other brit accused him of biking thru red lights. I'm shocked that at no point was high tea served during this gentle passive aggressive "fight." BUT Cumberbatch, for breaking the law, should feel shame, shame, shame.

From looks-maxxing to Jimmy Buffett-maxxing and everything inbetween... like, yes, BALL-MAXXING.

May 8th - City of BoscobelAt 9:10 pm, a woman’s neighbors were having a small bonfire in their driveway. They were not being loud; she just wanted them not to have bonfires. May 9th - City of PlattevilleTeens were using flashlights to ding-dong-ditch homes. May 9th - Village of HighlandPolice are looking for a "serial pooper" after poop and toilet paper were found three different times near a walking trail. Someone tell them kids that ding-dong-ditch is way more effective if people CAN'T see you. This and more on this weeks, Small Town Crime Wave

I'm not trying to speak ill of the dead but Leo went bird watching at a LANDFILL and contracted the deadly hantavirus. Also, not just the virus, a RARE strain of the virus that can be transmitted person to person. He then boards a cruiseship and proceeds to infect pretty much the entire ship... Don't hang out in landfills, guys. For doing something that when you think about it, it a reallllllllllly bad idea, Leo should feel shame, shame, shame.

A flight was delayed for over an hour due to an issue with a dancing robot. Can you guess why? No, it didn't try to hack into the cockpit's wi-fi..

... and a bonus listener phone call!

If you're going to try and steal from the goverment, try and make your math seems believable. Debbie billed 13,000 hours of care for one person... in a SINGLE day. How big of a red flag you tryin to wave?? For stealing... but for not stealing well, she's our Weenie Of The Week!

Internet chaos gremlin, Clavicular, got hit with a misdemeanor firearm charge after livestreaming himself and two other influencers unloading roughly 25 shots into an already-dead alligator in the Florida Everglades, because apparently regular hobbies were too difficult.Prosecutors say the issue isn’t animal cruelty since the gator was already dead, but unlawfully discharging firearms in public still tends to make the state of Florida raise an eyebrow, which is honestly impressive considering Florida’s usual tolerance levels. For shooting guns on a livestream, Clav should feel shame, shame, shame.
