Hello & welcome to Thursday!



We've got some really warm weather headed our way this weekend, so the days of having the windows open at my house are coming to an end. The central AC is DEFINITELY going on Saturday.



In the news this morning, the latest on the Conclave to determine a new Pope…including the interesting tidbit that some of the Cardinals may have watched the movie "Conclave" for advice on what to do! Plus, a 13 year-old boy in Wisconsin was arrested for shooting at deputies, a Wisconsin man accused of intentionally running down a family & killing the mother has died in jail, and a couple of companies from North Carolina & Indiana are in trouble for shipping an invasive crayfish species to Wisconsin.



In sports, the Brewers lost to the Astros yesterday, we recapped last night's NBA & NHL playoff action and took a look ahead at tonight's NBA and NHL matchups. Plus, the Cowboys made a trade with the Steelers for George Pickens yesterday.



Elsewhere in sports, the Utah Hockey Club will have a new name moving forward, and the Memphis Redbirds are changing their name next weekend to honor their most popular food item at the ballpark.



We let you know what's on TV today/tonight, and we talked to Office Cora about what's happening in the 715 this weekend.



Plus, it's another "Hypothetical Thursday", and Jean's question for Brian was: "100 men or the gorilla?"



Meanwhile, Brian's question for Jean was "If you could only keep one piece of technology for the rest of your life, which would it be?"



Viral video of an Oregon State Trooper stopping traffic on a busy interstate to help a family of ducks safely cross the road, and a cool story about a woman's friend who set up an "interview process" to date her friend that finally panned out.



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about the latest TikTok "challenge", how one man is dealing with some squatters in Chicago, a town that got high AF when it's authorities decided to burn a bunch of seized cannabis, a woman who just won a massive settlement after a coworker compared her to Darth Vader, a #FloridaWoman who shoved nachos down her wife's pants, and a couple of people who were busted for prostitution after they were caught banging in broad daylight in a car that was blocking the entrance to a police station.
