Bad News with Happy Music/Daily Check-Ins

Welcome to Thursday! Not bad today…but really hot temps coming this weekend with highs in the 90's.



We kicked things off with the Thursday song and we also talked to Office Cora this morning to see what she's up to this weekend in the 715.



In the news this morning, Joe Gow's trial has been moved to September, former Judge Hannah Dugan avoids jail time, a recall on Honda Odysseys, an earthquake in Wisconsin, a warning about Needoh, David Crowley exits the Wisconsin governor's race, and a judge orders President Trump to pay $5 million to E. Jean Caroll.



In sports, the Brew Crew last to the Cardinals last night and Brandon Woodruff's shoulder is apparently worse than we originally thought. The World Cup quarterfinals get started later today, Justin Verlander announces his retirement at the end of the season, Justin Bieber gets added to the halftime show of the World Cup finale, and Blackhawks' star Connor Bedard is going to miss the beginning of the NHL season.



We let you know what's on TV & streaming today/tonight. And Jeopardy is apparently hiring!



It's Hypothetical Thursday, and Brian's question for Jean was: "You're traveling back in time to medieval times and you can bring one item with you. What is it?"



Meanwhile, Jean's question for Brian was: "What is the most iconic movie quote of all time?"



Elsewhere in sports, a look at the diet of Erling Haaland, Republicans are worried about Caitlin Clark, and a betting scandal at the Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest???



Cool story about a couple that recently saved a bunch of people from drowning. And a dog that was literally thrown in the trash is now living it's best life!



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a student pilot who had to land a plane after the pilot literally jumped out of the plane, a #FloridaMan who set his ex-gf on fire after she broke up with him, and an EMT in Maryland who skeeted in a bunch of ice machines.
