S5.E86: Incoming Showmaggedon, Date Night, Mikey the Microphone, TikTok Saved, Boys Basketball Captains

Woodland is bracing for “Snowmageddon 2026,” with anonymous sources predicting up to two feet of snow. Locals are already panic-buying bread and milk for "survival French toast". In other news, TikTok has been saved by a new deal, and yodeling is officially recognized as a Swiss cultural treasure. The morning’s stars were basketball captains John Napiello. and James Scampolino. Their team is a perfect 11-0, thriving as the "top dogs" of the NVL rather than the "hunters". They attribute their success to a deep bench and a relentless "press" that wears opponents out by the fourth quarter. John recently celebrated a 1,000-point milestone, though he remains focused on a deep playoff run. The duo shouted out "Dog of the Game" Ben Pugles and defensive hustler Marco, setting their sights on NVL and State championships.

Looks like traffic cams have an arch enemy--New England weather. Solar-powered things struggle with snow on them, it seems.

More vexology updates and a light day for Woodland sports.

S5.E84: Artic Blast, Walkers and the Weather, Puzzles, Old Architecture, WRHS Basketball Takes Two

With the arctic blast day means wearing layers and doubling up for added comfort and warmth and Amato has added a jacket layer to his hoodie layer. And walking through the cold is a lot different than walking through the cold when it's windy. And what about Woodland Walkers? If you have to walk to school, the bus will still pick you up, according to a cameo appearance by Dr. Dana Mulligan. Vitruvius, the 'father of architecture' wrote "De architectura," or The Ten Books on Architecture, and Veronika the Cow is making the grade as a hairdresser. Both Woodland Basketball teams hooped it up yesterday beating Oxford home (girls) and away (boys). Leland Cruz stops by to give us an update on the forthcoming release by BTS.

S5.E83: Pictograms,, Curling, Mikey the Microphone, Veronica the Cow, WRHS Basketball Hoops on

Welcome to Semester Two at Woodland! The Morning Mayhem crew is kicking things off by dodging dashboard "arrows" that look more like knives to the head and feet. Their obsession with pictograms led to a realization: the Olympic curling icon might look like a custodial staff member heading to work. They got closer to selecting a mascot: "Mikey the Microphone," a new mascot envisioned with a golden halo of sunlight and a coffee cup. The news desk delivered even stranger tales, featuring Veronica, the Swiss cow who became the first of her kind documented using tools to scratch herself. On the field, the Indiana Hoosiers claimed their first national championship, while the UConn women dominated the court. Back home, our #1 ranked boys’ basketball team continues to roll, and students are prepping for the advisory puzzle challenge and Hometown Pizza fundraisers. As you navigate new classes, just be sure to check your schedule—you don’t want to end up in the wrong lunch on your first day back!
