We let you know what's on TV today/tonight, and Brian actually did his fifty jumps this morning before the show…and now he's looking to add something else to his "routine"



Elsewhere in sports, Jordan Addison of the Vikings got arrested recently, the new head coach at Notre Dame is already in the news for the wrong reason, and NASCAR revealed it's new "playoff" changes.



Check out the size of this dog!! It's now a world record holder! And a #FloridaMan is being called a hero after he saved two toddlers that had wandered away from their home and ended up on a busy highway.



We talked about a list of the best jobs in America in 2026, and we got to the latest on that "mite fight" at the Hershey Bears game over the weekend. Apparently, there's now MULTIPLE investigations going on.



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a couple of idiots in California who were using fake $100 bills to buy cheap fast food meals, a bear in Tennessee that's broken into the same candy store FOUR times, three female tourists from Taiwan who made the news in Europe after they followed their GPS and ended up stuck on a ski slope, and a teacher who got arrested for throwing a shoe at a student.
