Welcome to Friday & get ready for the heat.

Gonna be in the 90's tomorrow, and upper 80's most of next week.

We finished up the week by letting you know what's going to be on TV this weekend and what's hitting theaters.



Doc joined us to talk racing thanks to County Materials in Holmen, and we hooked you up with some stats & info on the upcoming Olympics.



Had a new "Karen of the Day" who tried to claim the entire beach for herself when a family walked by.



Did you see the video of the old payphone in Milwaukee that might have saved a couples' lives?? Crazy stuff.



ICYMI, ESPN8: The Ocho is coming back with all sorts of new & wacky sporting events!



During today's "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about the hot garbage smell in NYC, a seagull that won't stop stealing bags of chips, the Hellcat guy is back in the news, a rapist who drugged himself, a cyclist who had a run-in with a grizzly, a dude who went for a hike in Death Valley with flip flops, a guy who got arrested TWICE in a week for trying to bring drugs into an airport, and a Supreme Court decision about boneless wings.

The Friggin' Sports/Olympic shenanigans

No Jean. No Shaw. No problem!



Brian had the show to himself this morning as Jean's still on vacation in DC, and Shaw took the day off.



Talked about Biden's speech last night, and the deadly plane crash in Nepal…where everyone on the plane died EXCEPT the pilot.



Also, a major fire at a tequila plant in Mexico killed five workers & seriously injured a few others…and is likely going to effect the price of tequila in the near future.



The Brew Crew took two out of three from the Cubs this week, but lost Yelich to the IL, and Angel Reese has joined the new "Unrivaled" 3-on-3 league that starts this January.



Today is National Wine & Cheese Day…and more importantly, it's National Hire A Veteran Day!



Had a nice story about a missing chihuahua that was living on the streets of Las Vegas for NINE years before being caught & reunited with it's original owner.



Sadly, the NBA decided to go with Disney, NBC, & Amazon Prime rather than stick with Warner Bros. Discovery…so no more "NBA on TNT" after next season.



Esquire magazine recently put out a list of the "Top 50 Songs of the 90's" and we debated that this morning.



A couple of wild stories from the Olympics…one involving the Canadian Women's Soccer team…and the other involving a dressage rider who whipped a horse.



During today's "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a Tesla that got damaged by a fish that fell from the sky, a convenience store clerk that stole a $1 million winning scratch-off ticket, a couple of idiots in Kentucky who got busted after posting about their drug operation on TikTok, and a former administrative assistant at a church in Alabama that got caught embezzling over $300,000 to buy gifts for TikTokers.

No Jean. No Shaw. No problem!

The Friggin' Sports/Olympic amputee

Hump Day!



Lots to get to this morning, including the news that Snoop Dogg will be a torch-bearer during the opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics!



Also talked about Kamala Harris' stop in Milwaukee yesterday and her potential running mates.



The Brew Crew got a win against the Cubs last night, but Yelich might end up on the IL.



Have you seen the video the whale that capsized a boat off the coast of NH??? Wild stuff!



There's a guy in Scotland who built a bicycle/canoe and is planning on traveling across Scotland to raise money & awareness for a charity called "A Leg To Stand On".



In case you missed it, today is "National Tequila Day", so we took a look at a recent poll about tequila & margaritas.



Cool move by the Vikings this upcoming season as the honor their fourth-round draft pick, Khyree Jackson.



Gave away $30 of Brian's Morning-Show money playing "You're Killin' Me, Shaws" thanks to Pasture Pride Cheese in Cashton to Kevin in Onalaska. He guessed correctly!



Crazy story about an Australian field hockey player who had part of his broken finger amputated so he could participate in the Paris Olympics!



During today's "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy's leg washing up on shore in Australia after a shark bit it off, a guy in Vegas who walked up to a stranger in broad daylight & shot him in the chest, a 500-acre wildfire that was caused by illegal use of fireworks, a guy who ripped the head off a seagull for stealing fries, and a woman who attacked her fiancé & his brother after the groom-to-be asked for a pre-nup!
