Another really nice day in front of us…and even better tomorrow!



We started things off with Thursday Song and we also talked to Office Cora about what she's doing this weekend in the 715.



In the news, an update on the Pope's condition, the measles outbreak in Texas, the sad news about the death of Michelle Trachtenberg, and the breaking news on Gene Hackman's passing.



Over to sports, where we talked about MSU's incredible buzzer beater last night, the Bucks taking on Denver tonight, and the Badgers facing Michigan State on Sunday.



Elsewhere in sports, some takeaways from the recent NFL players' survey, Gronk denies the rumors that he's trying to make a comeback, and a Brewers pitcher is done for the season.



Played some clips from our recent interview with Mr. Skin regarding his 2025 Anatomy Awards.



It's also "Hypothetical Thursday", and Jean's question for Brian was: "If you were a professional athlete, what sport would you play?"



Brian's question for Jean was: "You either have to sleep in the wet spot every night for the rest of your life...or you have to wear wet socks any time you wear shoes for the rest of your life."



Let you know what's on TV tonight, including the new Hulu documentary on Ruby Franke. Also, Brian & Jean both recapped the movie "Companion", which they both recently watched.



Cool story about a guy who got his class ring back after it went missing 44 years ago!



ICYMI, Alexa is getting an upgrade. What could possibly go wrong? Also, a list of benefits for people who have work friends.



During the FRIGGIN' SPORTS, shared a story about a NJ wrestler who's been disqualified after a wild brawl in the stands of a recent match.



And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy who got drunk & belligerent at a wedding…got home & took an Uber back to the wedding to get his car and then got arrested for DUI, a couple who got attacked by a maniac wielding an axe, a funeral home that apparently has some really bomb-ass noodles, and a massage parlor that got popped for being a rub & tug business.

Another really nice day in front of us&hellip;and even better tomorrow!
