It's the unofficial start to the weekend and even though both Jean & Office Cora were out today, Brian still hooked you up with a few things to do in the 715 this weekend!



Plus, it's been a few weeks since we played "Hypothetical Thursday" with the CMN Radioton on the 9th and Brian on vacation last Thursday, but Brian got back to it by asking "If you could own ONE piece of horror movie memorabilia, what would it be and why?"



In the news this morning, another new candidate for Governor of Wisconsin announces their intention to run in the election, a recall on several brands of Coca Cola soda, and the Mega Millions jackpot is growing!



In sports, Week 8 in the NFL kicks off tonight, the Bucks got a nice season-opening win over the Wizards last night, the World Series begins tomorrow night with the Dodgers in Toronto to take on the Blue Jays, and the NFL doubles down on Bad Bunny as the halftime performer at the upcoming Super Bowl.



Elsewhere in sports, some changes are coming to the Pro Bowl, Jayden Daniels will be out on MNF for the Commanders, a new manager has been hired for the San Francisco Giants, and the NCAA is going to allow it's athletes to bet on professional sports.



Cool story about a giant pumpkin-boat race that was won by a dude in a "Buddy the Elf" costume! And don't forget that today is "National Slap Your Annoying Co-Worker Day"!!!



We let you know what's on TV today/tonight and after yesterday's list of top zombie movies, we looked at some of the top horror/comedy movies of all time.



Crazy stat from a recent survey found that 25% of workers haven't taken ONE DAY of their vacation this year. What are we even doing anymore????



Not sure if you saw this, but Hall of Famer Randy Johnson is known for a lot of things…like his mullet, killing that bird with a pitch, becoming an NFL sideline photographer…and being a pretty cool dude when it comes to autographs!



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaMan who was the epitome of hypocritical, an uptick in screaming clubs, a kid in Baltimore was almost arrested because his bag of Doritos was mistaken for a gun, a woman is facing charges after sending her husband an A.I. generated picture of an intruder in their home, and a guy in Thailand who was performing penis-enlargement surgeries out of the back of his Toyota Corolla.
