Daily Check-Ins

Here comes the rain. Looks like it's going to be an extremely wet weekend with showers & thunderstorms in the forecast.



Jean's out today to visit a few college campuses in the Madison area with her daughter, but Brian & Shaw started the day talking about the strange monolith that was just discovered in the Vegas area.



The "Tribute to the Negro Leagues" game was last night between the Cardinals & Giants, and Reggie "Mr. October" Jackson had a very impactful interview regarding his time with the Birmingham A's in the 1960's.



Let you know what's on TV this weekend & what's new in theaters, and we had a great story about a TikTok dude who helped an elementary school in Mississippi hand out free lunches to their students throughout the summer months.



Interesting study from Expedia that found Americans not only get fewer vacation days than any other country in the world, but we also take less of those vacation days.



The Olympic trials continue on NBC this weekend, and there's already been a couple of freak accidents to some potential Olympians.



Played some Atreyu this morning. Looking forward to seeing them at Rock Fest in about a month, and also talked about the upcoming "Neverending Story" sequels.



Had to talk about the great Donald Sutherland, who just passed away at the age of 88. And we took a look at things that happened just five years ago, but feel like they happened an eternity ago.



Got Doc's racing report and during today's "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a recall on coffee mugs, an elk poacher who got in big trouble, a country that might start charging politicians that knowingly lie with a crime, a TikTok mom who uses Velcro to keep her kid on the seat on the plane, a woman who tried to sue her ex-bf because he didn't take her to the airport, a wedding gown that caught fire mid-ceremony, and a politician in Michigan who got in trouble with a "dancer" at 2:30 in the morning!
