Bad News with Happy Music/Daily Check-Ins

I'm in desperate need of a nap. I stayed out waaaaay past my bedtime last night(for good reason) and I'm dragging this morning.



And apparently, I stole some kid's balloon. So I've got that going for me.



It was a great show last night with Atreyu, In This Moment, & Nothing More at Copeland Park & Events Center. Looking forward to Godsmack & Dorothy next month!



In the news this morning, a recall on a toy sold at Target stores nationwide, a woman in Georgia is suing the officer who shot & killed her donkey, a #FloridaWoman pleads guilty to defrauding the Epstein victims fund, a woman in Minnesota looks just like J. Lo in her mugshot, the finalists for the Toy Hall of Fame, and the Ohio "house of horrors" mom is accused of sexual conduct with a minor family member.



In sports, the Brewers won the series against the Pirates but lost yesterday's game, the Dodgers clinch the NL West, a scary collision during the Mets game last night, the Bills open up Week 2 in the NFL with a win over the Lions last night, the Badgers take on Eastern MI tomorrow morning, Morgan Freeman is going to be on the set of "College Gameday", and Steve Belichick is OUT at UNC.



We talked about what's on TV & streaming this weekend and what's new in theaters. Plus, some new music you might want to check out and have you seen the newest popcorn bucket??? It's for the upcoming "Street Fighter" movie.



Cool story about a guy who's been making videos about the lunches that his wife packs for him, and a waterless toilet that was developed for astronauts is now helping people with limited-to-no access to plumbing. Also, a dog that's been missing for FOUR years just got reunited with his family!



Had a new "Karen of the Day" who REALLY wanted some caddies for her round at the golf club. Today is "National Cheeseburger Day" and we discussed some of the deals that are available, some interesting facts about cheeseburgers, and Wendy's is bringing back the old-school yellow packaging!



Elsewhere in sports, Steve Sarkisian apologizes to ESPN's Holly Rowe, the Hyrox athlete that shit herself is apologizing, Alexander Ovechkin tries to explain his appearance in a political ad for Vladimir Putin, the unveiling of an amazingly cool Kyle Busch car, and Cornhusker fans ran up a MASSIVE bar tab on Jon Rothstein's credit card.



Doc joined us just after 8am to talk NASCAR racing thanks to County Materials in Holmen & Eau Claire.



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a drug addict who was arrested for drug possession while on his way to a court-ordered drug program, a fight club at a daycare involving the kids, a woman who gave lap dances to three teenage boys and also gave one of the kids an STD after the lap dance went a bit too far, & a sex offender who collapses in court after hearing how long his prison sentence could be.

I'm in desperate need of a nap. I stayed out waaaaay past my bedtime last night(for good reason) and I'm dragging this morning.
