Bad News with Happy Music/Daily Check-Ins

Getting ready for a big weekend...but first, Thursday!

Kicked things off with the Thursday song(including Pat McCurdy's brief version from many moons ago!). And if you're looking for free beer...then you're in luck, because Miller Lite is buying tomorrow during Game 1 of the World Series!

In the news this morning, a couple of teens in California get busted by the FBI after planning a mass shooting, a recall on certain Toyota models, Ilhan Omar makes her first appearance since the raid on her home in DC, the Pope won't need any further cancer treatments, and France issues curfews in multiple cities.

In sports, the Atlanta Dream win Game 3 of the WNBA Finals, Week 7 in the NFL kicks off tonight with the Pats vs. the Bears on TNF, the Bucks lost their season opener in Washington last night, Josh Jacobs speaks for the first time about his recent legal troubles, and the Violent Femmes are going to be playing the pre-game party for Game One of the World Series tomorrow evening!

We talked about what's on TV & streaming today/tonight. Plus, is Halloween truly the loneliest day of the year for single people?? According to a new survey, it IS! But don't worry about those single people!!! Another survey says that they're VERY happy without a mate.

Cool story about a couple in Oregon who recently needed to replace their entire HVAC system...to the tune of $16,000!!! But got it for free thanks to the Lennox "Feel the Love" giveaway. And if you haven't seen it already...check out this story about the viral Brewer kid from the NLCS who's going to Game 2 of the World Series with his dad thanks to M-L Meyer Construction and Roofing!

It's Hypothetical Thursday, and Brian's question for Jean was: "You have to introduce your kids to rock & roll. What three songs are you playing for them?"

Meanwhile, Jean's question for Brian was: "What was your most memorable Halloween costumes?"

Elsewhere in sports, a former Titans player was released by the team after he tried to get a gun from his car after an altercation with a teammate, J.J. McCarthy is starting for the Giants this weekend, Maryland fired their head football coach, the Angels are looking for a new manager & GM, the NFL suspends ANOTHER Bills player for spitting on Sunday, all the info on the Games 3 & 4 watch parties at Miller Park, and a "Star Wars" themed Super Bowl broadcast is on the way!

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

And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a "Goldilocks" situation in Seattle, a family heirloom that turned out to be an unspent WWI artillery shell, an unwanted update on Tan Mom, a #FloridaWoman who is accused of fleeing a deadly car crash & trying to have her car fixed at the dealership, a #FloridaMan who got sentenced to 10 years in prison for embezzling over $14 million from his employer to fund his gambling addiction, another #FloridaMan who stole a dead guy's identity so he could acquire the guy's home, and a guy in Virginia who allegedly taped his wife to a chair so he could watch football without being bothered.
