Nothing like the Thursday Song to get your morning started!



As we do almost every week on Thursday, we asked each other hypothetical questions today. Brian's question for Jean was: "If you commit one crime & get away with it…which crime would you commit?"



And Jean's question for Brian was: "Would you rather live your life planned out completely, or live spontaneously?"



Office Cora joined us to talk about what she's up to this weekend in the 715 and her hypothetical question for us was: "



In the news this morning, an update on Hurricane Erin, a member of the FBI's Most Wanted list has been captured, a sentencing hearing has been scheduled for the Wisconsin man accused of faking his own death & fleeing the country, the yard waste site in La Crosse will be closed on Labor Day, and the Wisconsin Secretary of State officially launches her bid for the Lt. Governor position.



In sports, the Brew Crew continue to struggle with the Cubs and lost again yesterday. The final week of the NFL preseason kicks off tonight, Paige Bueckers set a rookie scoring record last night, and we took a look at some of the highlights of the 2026 NASCAR schedule which was released yesterday.



Elsewhere in sports, Jake Paul is going to be boxing on Netflix again this November, and Andy Reid had bullet-proof glass installed in his office after someone shot at the Chief's stadium a few years ago.



Have you heard of the Focus Friend app? It's one of the top free apps right now and it's supposed to help you avoid time-wasting apps like TikTok.



Had a story about a four year-old kid who called 911 last week to profess his love of soccer & swimming, and when the cops did a welfare check to make sure everything was okay at his house, they brought some gifts, including a soccer net for his backyard!



And check out this postal worker who saved a man's life while she was delivering mail.



Had a new "Karen of the Day" this morning…she was mad about some people who were trying to conduct a photoshoot in the lobby of her apartment building.



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about people eating cat food, a guy who used fake prop money to purchase a new car, a school that had to close for a day after vandals stole catalytic converters from all the buses, a guy in Canada who got arrested for beating up a man who broke into his house, the new sex trend called "hamster-ing", and a guy who got bit by a shark after posing for a picture with it.
