Happy Hump Day, yo! Got some REALLY nice weather in front of us with high temps in the upper-60's this weekend.



I'm so ready for summer to be over. I hate the heat.



We started things off this morning with an update on the Powerball jackpot, and a warning from the Wisconsin Department of Health Service about a possible measles exposure at a couple of travel plazas. Also in the news this morning, a second person has been arrested & charged in a child torture case in Winona, and the FDA is investigating some radioactive shrimp at Walmart!



In sports, the Brewers lost both games to the Cubs yesterday, a look at the NFL's final week of preseason football, John Wall calls it a career, and Sophie Cunningham is done for the season.



Elsewhere in sports, boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. gets deported & arrested, a well-known gymnastics coach has been charged with possession of child pornography, and Shaq might be in a celebrity boxing match with Will Smith's former bodyguard.



We let you know what's on TV today/tonight and we also talked about the upcoming "Home Improvement" reunion on Tim Allen's new series.



Crazy story about a woman in Texas who is a quadruple who just gave birth to quintuplets! And check out this story about a school district in Pennsylvania that's using 3D-printed violins to save money and inspire kids.



Are you feeling like you get dumber & dumber by the day? Here's four reasons why that might be happening.



A recent survey found that 21% of men get anxious about getting their hair cut.



And a look at some of the lowest-paying jobs in America.



Have you seen the Colts new pretzel? It's got a very distinct appearance.



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a judge that accidentally read a guilty verdict when it was actually NOT guilty, a psycho who keeps ordering & returning 100lb anvils on Amazon, a #FloridaWoman who has the same mugshot every time she gets popped for DUI, and a guy who likely murdered his wife & got caught on a doorbell camera dragging her body out of his apartment.
