As we continue to inch closer to Shaw’s retirement, it’s a great time to go back & take a look at some of our favorite moments over the last twenty years.

In this throwback, we’ve got a clip from 2011 - when Shaw needed help figuring out what a "merkin" is, and another clip from 2018 about a guy who hadn't pooped in over a month!

Also, a clip from 2019, when Shaw decided to quit having his water softener salt delivered directly to his house.

Bad News with Happy Music/Daily Check-Ins

A cloudy start to the day with some rain likely later this morning. More rain likely all this weekend.



Sadly, someone in Illinois won the $1 billion Powerball jackpot last night…but if you're looking to play again in the future, maybe using A.I. can help?



Also in the news this morning, Winona will not be replacing it's flock cameras that were recently stolen, a horrific murder/suicide at a daycare in Minnesota, a recall on certain Tesla models, Karoline Leavitt announces she's leaving the White House as the press secretary, and more charges for Nick Reiner in the killing of his parents.



In sports, the Brewers lost again to the Padres yesterday & get swept in San Diego, the MLB Field of Dreams game is tonight on Netflix, and the NFL preseason also kicks off tonight! A record number of people tuned in for the NFL's Hall of Fame game, Russell Westbrook announces his retirement from the NBA, the Lakers get sold for the second time in as many years, and the NASCAR All-Star race is returning to the track in North Wilkesboro next season.



We talked about what's on TV & streaming today/tonight. Plus, an Avenged Sevenfold fan gets brought on stage to sing with the band at a recent show in Canada, and a new ride at Universal Studios Hollywood is upsetting some of the neighbors with how loud the ride can be.



A heart-warming story about a dog suffering from seizures who got a new best friend when the family brought home a pet duck. And a new medication is having success with certain people dealing with muscular dystrophy.



On Thursday mornings we ask each other hypothetical questions, and Brian's question for Jean was: "If you were a wrestler, what would your gimmick & finishing move be?"



Jean's question for Brian was: "If you could create a perfect A.I. robot with every single thing you want, what would it include?"



Elsewhere in sports, Travis Kelce talked about getting married to Taylor Swift during his media availability at Chiefs' training camp, a Jets player passed out at practice and is now in the concussion protocol, Lionel Messi may be done with soccer after the recent death of his father, and a sex scandal involving the Korean Soccer Association!



Office Cora joined us just after 8am to let us know what she's up to in the 715 this weekend.



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaWoman who was having some drinks & celebrating her new Rolls Royce…and then drove drunk in her new Rolls Royce & got popped for DUI, a man on probation decided to drive a stolen car to his probation meeting, another #FloridaWoman who stabbed a horse, a boat filled with cats off the coast of California, the University of Michigan is ditching grades for incoming Freshmen, and a traffic jam in DC is attributed to a sex toy!

Looks like it's going to be a wet weekend…so if you've got outdoor stuff to do…today is probably your best option!



In the news this morning, the results from yesterday's primary vote, another Powerball drawing is happening tonight, a recall on certain Toyota models, an American Airlines flight had to make an emergency landing after it hit a bird, and the Eau Claire Express beat the La Crosse Loggers again last night to advance to the Great Plains Championship game.

We talked to Jake from Autumn Kings about the band's recent viral story about using a strangers' vehicle to get from Rock Fest to Upheaval.



It's "One Gotta Go Wednesday", and we decided to go with minor inconveniences this morning - Waking up a few minutes before your alarm goes off, your socks falling down inside of your shoe, a video you really want to watch buffering every five seconds, or forgetting your old password and trying to reset it…but getting told that your new password can't be the same as your old password.



Elsewhere in sports, an amateur golfer gets busted for cheating on a hole-in-one, a high school football player who practiced with a deadly snake in his helmet, the latest on the Tulsa Little League legal battle, and a "bodybuilder" who was trying to win a competition by drinking heavily & taking 'Roids.



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy in Arizona who got popped for DUI with "Drive Sober or get pulled over" license plates on his vehicle, a "Bodybuilder" who got prepared for a competition by drinking & using 'roids, a lifeguard in Maine that got dragged underwater by a SHARK, and a couple of new additions to the OnlyFans!

One Gotta Go Wednesday. How long do you use a bath towel before washing it? Our interview with Jake from the Autumn Kings.

After Autumn Kings got done with their set at Rock Fest last month, they were headed to another gig at Upheaval in Michigan the very next day.

Unfortunately, their vehicle broke down and after trying to get it fixed locally, they ran into Wisconsin resident, Ernie, who offered them the use of his vehicle so they could make it to their next gig.

Now, Ernie's got his vehicle back...their van has finally been fixed...and they'll be back in the area in about a week at the Northwoods Rock Rally.
