Bad News with Happy Music/Daily Check-Ins

Another gorgeous day with a high of 75° and plenty of sunshine!



Big weekend ahead with my 50th Birthday party tomorrow night, Big Bikes on Saturday, and on Sunday…my wife & I attend our first parade as Oktoberfest Grenadiers!



Busy, busy, busy!



We started the morning off with the OG "Thursday Song"….along with Pat McCurdy's brief cover of the original.



We asked each other hypothetical questions for "Hypothetical Thursday".



Brian's question for Jean was: "Everyone on earth takes a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?"



Jean's question for Brian was: "What is on your bucket list?"



And Office Cora joined us just after 8am to let us know what she's up to in the 715 this weekend.



In the news this morning, the latest on the Hantavirus cruise ship, another cruise ship in France is dealing with a stomach-flu outbreak, Alex Murdaugh is getting a new trial, a Wisconsin babysitter who left several children in a hot car while getting her nails done gets a plea deal, and the latest on the Watertown school board decision.



In sports, the Brewers blew a stellar start by the Miz & lost to the Padres last night. And speaking of the Miz, he once again left the game with some cramping. We talked about last night's NBA & NHL Playoff action and looked at the upcoming schedules. The Royals & White Sox game last night got delayed when a fan fell into the bullpen. And speaking of schedules, the NFL dumped out a bunch of it's games yesterday…ahead of tonight's official schedule release.



We discussed what's on TV today/tonight and also looked at Netflix's upfront presentation of it's new stuff.



An ice cream truck in Massachusetts is going viral for being kind to children(that's all it takes?).



Elsewhere in sports, the Maple Leafs fired their head coach, Katherine Legge is trying for a two-fer, The Big Dumper breaks his hitless streak after showering in his uniform, the NJ Transit prices for the World Cup continue to come down, and the Enhanced Games are coming up next weekend!



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy who allegedly found a dead rat in his Monster Energy can, a family that claims they can't leave their house because of a swarm of bees, a dad in Pennsylvania who got arrested for leaving his kid in the car while he played Spooky Spins at a convenience store, and a woman who stole a bottle of wine by shoving it into one of her body cavities.
