Hypothetical Thursday - Brian's question

Office Cora

Bad News with Happy Music

Plenty of sun the next couple of days with highs in the low-80's. Maybe some rain on Sunday.

While Jean's question for Brian was: " "



Office Cora also joined us just after 8am to talk about what she's up to this weekend in the 715.



In the news today, the Menendez brothers are getting an early parole hearing, an update on that deadly Amazon cargo plane crash, the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association is canceling it's upcoming gubernatorial debate, a recall on Fi dog supplements, Clay Matthews reveals what was going on with those viral pictures, a weather guy gets swept away by Hurricane Lowell, and an A.I. executive quits his job and issues a warning about the dangers of the technology.



Can you do simple things without any assistance? Like sewing a button? Changing a tire? Cooking rice? Changing a diaper? You might be surprised by how many people say they COULDN'T do any of those relatively easy tasks.



In sports, the Brewers complete the sweep of the Cub, the Seahawks beat the Patriots on the NFL's opening night but their starting QB got injured on the first drive of the game, legendary player/coach/broadcaster Barry Melrose passed away at age 70, the feud between LSU & the SEC seems to have cooled off a bit, and Jalen Brunson is going to be hosting the season opener of SNL.



We talked about what's on TV & streaming today/tonight. Plus, a TON of tickets for the upcoming "



" movie have already sold, and Hallmark is adding a third movie to their "Holiday Touchdown" series...this time, it's the Bears!



A beautiful dog named Wynn is charming people all over the world for being a therapy dog in hospitals in Colorado. A Marine Veteran tuned 100 years old and asked to get cards for his birthday and THOUSANDS of people came through. And an off-duty police officer was able to save multiple lives by rescuing an unconscious driver.

And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a blind guy who was busted for driving drunk, a Mayor that's resigning/retiring after getting caught walking around the town hall without any pants on for an extended period of time, an Ohio lawyer that tried to kill his ex-wife in a restaurant, a #FloridaMan that used a bunch of tools(including a weed wacker) to break through a shared wall, an update on the serial butt-sniffer, and a guy in South Carolina that got "intimate" with a rubber duck.
