The man known as Brucie Bumchuckles on the radio, joins to talk about the April Fools' hoax in La Crosse that went viral before viral was a thing. Marty Severson relives the 1986 bit, where he fooled everyone with a radio ad from the "phone company" to bag your phone, because they were going to blow the dust out of the phone lines. A hoarding of bags from Quillins ensued. Phone companies wanted to sue. People left work to go home and bag their phones. Here's the ad.
After that (22:05), La Crosse County clerk Ginny Dankmeyer breaks down some info on the spring election cycle ending Tuesday that includes a circuit court judicial race, county and school board races and the already over presidential primary.
We also asked Dankmeyer, Can you vote "uncommitted" instead of Joe Biden? What's the turnout going to look like? How would the two Constitutional Amendments effect the clerk's office?
