Bad News with Happy Music/Daily Check-Ins

Still dealing with this crud in my sinuses. Tired of blowing my nose…coughing…and mouth-breathing.



Also had a very interesting night thanks to our most recent attempt to form a neighborhood association last evening.



In the news this morning, Frank Beard of ZZ Top passed away, a crazy person in a mask filmed himself chasing & terrorizing people, a couple on a cruise ship attacks a family that asked them to quiet down, human remains are found at Lake Mead because of drought, a recall on frozen fruit bars, and a frat-bro cocaine trafficking ring!



In sports, the Brewers thoroughly dominated the Mariners with a historic beatdown yesterday, a look at the NFL's preseason week 2 schedule, the league is definitely going to be adding one…if not more…teams internationally, the founder of ESPN passes away at age 93, and next year's WNBA All-Star Game is coming to Ball-halla!



We talked about what's on TV & streaming today/tonight. Plus, Liquid Death & Garage Beer are teaming up to help cool down A.I. data centers with your pee-pee…Tom Holland is raking in the dough thanks to the new Spider-Man movie, and a recent study conducted by Harvard University found a direct link from new album releases to increased car crashes!



A few "hero rats" are part of a new exhibit at the Sacramento Zoo…and Olympic Gold Medalist Jordan Chiles returns to her high school to thank her for the lasting impact she made on her life.



Hump Day means "One Gotta Go Wednesday", and this morning's edition was all about party apps!! Which one would you get rid of FOREVER???? Deviled eggs? Pigs in a Blanket? Grape jelly meatballs? Slow-cooker lil' smokies? Or Wisconsin sushi?????



We also had not one…but TWO "Karens of the Day". A woman in Denver who got really pissed at a DoorDash driver. And a TV news anchor who got fired for her actions towards a former co-worker.



Elsewhere in sports, an arrest has been made in the Greg Biffle theft case, Connor Zilisch signs with a new team, Amanda Anisimova had people wondering what she was drinking during a recent tennis match, and Cubs fans brawled with White Sox fans in the cheap seats.



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaMom who let her 11 year-old child drive her vehicle to a 7-11, a museum in Philly devoted to how awful people from Philadelphia can be, a guy who got upset with how long his order was taking at an Applebee's, a bear that broke into a woman's home & ate her leftover KFC, a woman who died and came back to life got a parking ticket, and a couple in Arizona who were stealing a bunch of books from the local library & then selling them.
