Daily Check-Ins

Good morning & welcome to Thursday!



We kicked things off with the Thursday Song, and later in the morning, we talked to Office Cora about what she's up to this weekend in the 715!



Always fun to talk to her.



In the news this morning, the air quality in Wisconsin continues to be an issue with the Canadian wildfires burning out of control, Judge Ramona Gonzalez is officially leaving the courtroom, a recall on some High Noon beverages after a labeling error, some protestors left a fake coffin at a Congressman's door, and a Wisconsin man pleads guilty to smuggling lab equipment to Russian companies.



In sports, the Brewers lost to the Cubs yesterday in the final game of that series, the NFL Hall of Fame game is tonight on NBC, former NBA player Gilbert Arenas got arrested for allegedly running an illegal casino at one of his homes, and Vince McMahon got into an accident while driving his Bentley.



Elsewhere in sports, the NBA announced it's overseas schedule for next season, TNT is going ALL-IN on the Savannah Bananas, and the World Athletics Council announced that athletes wishing to compete in female categories at the World Championships are required to undergo a "once-in-a-lifetime test" for eligibility.



It's "Hypothetical Thursday" and Jean's question for Brian was: "If you had to give up your sense of smell or your sense of taste…which would you choose?"



Meanwhile, Brian's question for Jean was: "What's one thing you'd change about me(Brian)"



Cool story about a woman in Montreal who's picking up trash around the city and raising money for the local animal shelter.



Michael Phelps may be done competing at the Olympics, but that doesn't mean he's staying out of the pool. Especially when the Baltimore Ravens need some help teaching some of their players how to swim!



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about radioactive wasps, a guy with a LOT of weed in his car, another side-effect of taking Ozempic, a teenager who got "Home Alone'd" by his family, and a woman who had her car repossessed decided to take matters into her own hands.
