Bad News with Happy Music/Daily Check-Ins

Holy crap are we loaded with stuff this morning!



In the news, a recall on a popular fruit puree, the results of an independent autopsy on Nolan Wells, a deadly shooting in Madison, a garbage truck in Milwaukee explodes, William Shatner and his daughter reveal their recent battles with cancer, the wreckage of a Pan Am plane is located 74 years after it crashed, and wild video of a leopard attacking a shop owner in India!



In sports, the Brewers beat the Mets last night for another series win, the Red Sox finally lost after winning 15 in a row, the Packers start training camp next week, Caitlin Clark gets another tech & is one away from a one-game suspension, the cover athletes for NBA2K are announced, and the Angels fired a scout for illegally taping other teams.



We talked about what's on TV & streaming today/tonight. Plus, Elon Musk is apparently making his own version of "The Odyssey" that will allegedly be more historically accurate than the Christopher Nolan version that's currently in theaters. Conan O'Brien explains what happened to his hair after recent pics of him went viral, a sequel to "Days of Thunder" is in the works, and the Ghostface from the "Scary Movie" franchise launches an OnlyFans account.



Great story about a teen driver who trusted his gut & checked on a car in a ditch…which led to him possibly saving a woman's life!



As we always do on Thursday mornings, we asked each other Hypothetical questions…and Brian's question for Jean was: "If you could only listen to music with one form of media for the rest of your life, what would it be? Tapes/Records/CDs/MP3s"



While Jean's question for Brian was: " "



Elsewhere in sports, Sophie Cunningham clarifies her statements on trans athletes, Charlie Woods gets interrupted in his backswing, the latest on the Cubs fan who slapped another fan when they refused to stand for the National anthem, an American cyclist gets brake-checked by a car before a stage at the Tour de France, and an update on the Puka Nacua bite allegations.



Office Cora joined us just after 8am to talk about what she's up to this weekend in the 715 and to recap her time at Rock Fest last weekend.



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a family in Alaska that were cleaning out a dead relatives house & found human remains in a freezer, an alligator that was blocking a family's front door, a roller coaster in Ecuador that tossed a passenger, a guy who got arrested for stealing a bunch of vodka & Bacon, a Great White shark that was swimming extremely close to some kids in the ocean, and a bear that hilarious got trapped in an SUV and wouldn't stop honking the horn.

Guy flexes & girl flexes

New foods & drinks at the MN State Fair

It's Hump Day and the weather is going to be absolutely delightful!



Sunny & 74° today with the heat returning this weekend. So get out & enjoy it!



In the news this morning, a recall on garlic powder sold nationwide, actress Kaylee Hottle died in a car crash in Maryland, a woman in Oklahoma is found guilty of failing to protect her daughter, more idiots in Yellowstone, and a cargo plane had a very rough landing in Cincinnati.



In sports, the Brewers lost to the Mets last night, the Dolphins sign an extension with Jordyn Brooks, the Miami Heat "accidentally" posted a link to a Lebron James introductory press conference, the World Cup final between Argentina & Spain had a ton of viewers, Giants head coach John Harbaugh reacts to the viral Cam Skattebo video from Fanatics Fest, ESPN announces a bunch of layoffs, and Aaron Rodgers is apparently trying to rebuild his relationship with his family.



We talked about what's on TV & streaming today/tonight. And apparently, people are refusing to leave their seats at concerts to use the restrooms.



Great story about a very large senior dog that got too tired on a walk with it's owner and had to be rescued by some firefighters. And a young girl diagnosed with a rare disease got a bone marrow donation from her very brave sister.



It's One Gotta Go Wednesday, and today's choices were popular Summer activities - A day at the pool/beach. A day on the river/lake. A fire pit in the backyard. Or some time at a cabin up north.



Elsewhere in sports, the WNBA isn't allowing any of it's partners to profit off the viral Sophie Cunningham "pointing" video/meme, another possible location for a new stadium for Da Bears, an update on the guy who smacked another fan in the back of the head at a recent Cubs/Twins game, and Jordan Kuroda-Grauer suffers an extremely unfortunate injury.



A couple of recent Reddit threads asked people to list guy & girl "flexes" that makes someone instantly attractive. We checked in to see if we're on the attractive side of things.



The MN State Fair is coming up next month and the new foods & drinks are starting to get released, so we took a look at what you can expect if you're going to the Sweat Together.



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a refrigerator for human beings, a woman who sold a guy's tarantula collection while he was in jail, a #FloridaWoman who was arrested after locking her dogs in a storage locker, another #FloridaWoman who was apparently collecting stray cats while delivering mail & hoarding them in deplorable conditions, and a dude dressed as a mime got busted for being creepy & weird.
