    Brian's 50th Birthday. Doc's Racing Report. The Packer schedule highlights!

    Here we are on a Friday…my birthday! Big one today as I turn 50!! Somehow I haven't died…yet. Busy morning with a lot of b-day texts/calls/messages, but we still found some time to talk about plenty of other shit happening. In the news this morning, the latest on a construction worker in Madison who fell off a building, a British man with hantavirus that was supposed to be in quarantine was found at an Italian bar, Kouri Richins gets sentenced, and Britney Spears is out of rehab and up to her old tricks again? In sports, the Brew Crew got a nice 7-1 win over the Padres yesterday, the NBA Playoffs continue tonight with a couple of games, the NHL Playoffs had two games last night, the Oilers fire their head coach, and the World Cup is going to have a halftime show at the final match in July. We talked about what's on TV this weekend and what's new in theaters. Talked about some new music releases, and we discussed Adam McKay's recent comments about white liberals. A new study reveals that we're winning the fight against litter, a 72 year-old nurse finally graduates college, and a couple of teens save a guy's life after he had a heart attack while changing a flat tire. Doc joined us just after 8am for another racing report thanks to County Materials in Holmen & Eau Claire. What would you do if you found $30,000 in a fanny pack at a gas station? This #FloridaMan returned it to it's original owner. And a judge in California is doing the Lord's work! Elsewhere in sports, Garrick Higgo is late for his tee time, a Miller Lite soccer ball just in time for the World Cup, and the Rousey/Carano fight is tomorrow on Netflix! And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy who keeps his gun in his kid's diaper bag, a high school water polo team, an underage DUI in Kentucky, a lost Bitcoin password, & a helicopter landing in a city park for some prom pics.

    Hypothetical Thursday. Brian recaps the early years of his life. Office Cora!

    Another gorgeous day with a high of 75° and plenty of sunshine! Big weekend ahead with my 50th Birthday party tomorrow night, Big Bikes on Saturday, and on Sunday…my wife & I attend our first parade as Oktoberfest Grenadiers! Busy, busy, busy! We started the morning off with the OG "Thursday Song"….along with Pat McCurdy's brief cover of the original. We asked each other hypothetical questions for "Hypothetical Thursday". Brian's question for Jean was: "Everyone on earth takes a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?" Jean's question for Brian was: "What is on your bucket list?" And Office Cora joined us just after 8am to let us know what she's up to in the 715 this weekend. In the news this morning, the latest on the Hantavirus cruise ship, another cruise ship in France is dealing with a stomach-flu outbreak, Alex Murdaugh is getting a new trial, a Wisconsin babysitter who left several children in a hot car while getting her nails done gets a plea deal, and the latest on the Watertown school board decision. In sports, the Brewers blew a stellar start by the Miz & lost to the Padres last night. And speaking of the Miz, he once again left the game with some cramping. We talked about last night's NBA & NHL Playoff action and looked at the upcoming schedules. The Royals & White Sox game last night got delayed when a fan fell into the bullpen. And speaking of schedules, the NFL dumped out a bunch of it's games yesterday…ahead of tonight's official schedule release. We discussed what's on TV today/tonight and also looked at Netflix's upfront presentation of it's new stuff. An ice cream truck in Massachusetts is going viral for being kind to children(that's all it takes?). Elsewhere in sports, the Maple Leafs fired their head coach, Katherine Legge is trying for a two-fer, The Big Dumper breaks his hitless streak after showering in his uniform, the NJ Transit prices for the World Cup continue to come down, and the Enhanced Games are coming up next weekend! And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy who allegedly found a dead rat in his Monster Energy can, a family that claims they can't leave their house because of a swarm of bees, a dad in Pennsylvania who got arrested for leaving his kid in the car while he played Spooky Spins at a convenience store, and a woman who stole a bottle of wine by shoving it into one of her body cavities.

    Another "Karen of the Day". Office Cora talks about her Nashville trip. Toddlers getting tats.

    It was downright chilly yesterday. I had my hood up while picking up dog shit in my backyard. Brrrrrr! Thankfully, warmer temps this weekend with highs in the 70's expected. Started the morning with the Andy Hughes version of "The Thursday Song", and in the news today, the death of Ted Turner….a Wisconsin woman is accused of defrauding Medicaid for over $2 million…the United States is monitoring several passengers who were on the hantavirus cruise ship…the Epstein suicide note is released…Tanner Horner gets sentenced…and the Pope gets hung up on!

A tow truck driver in Canada recently rescued a moose that had become trapped in a frozen lake…a couple of pet goats helped save their owner's life after a tornado…and a 4 year-old is credited with saving her grandmother's life after she fell & became disoriented. Elsewhere in sports, Brendan Sorsby's alleged betting activity is being investigated by a bunch of organizations, and the NFL appears to be close to signing a new CBA with their referees. It's Hypothetical Thursday, and Brian's question for Jean was: "You discover that your wonderful one-year-old child is, because of a mix-up at the hospital, not yours. What would you do? Would you want to exchange the child to try to correct the mistake?" Jean's question for Brian was: "Would you rather win $50,000 or let your best friend win $500,000" Office Cora joined us just after 8am to talk about her recent trip to Nashville!

    Karen of the Day. One Gotta Go Wednesday. The first rule of Fight Club is...

    Happy Hump Day, yo! Staying chilly today before warming up tomorrow & Friday. Gonna get back into the 70's this weekend. In the news this morning, the latest on that cruise ship that's dealing with a deadly hantavirus outbreak, a recall on potato chips, a warning about a new scam involving the IRS, a missing hotel owner is found inside of a crocodile, and possible refunds from the IRS from the Covid era could be waiting for you!

Elsewhere in sports, Stefon Diggs gets a "not guilty" verdict in his alleged assault case, soccer star Neymar is being investigated, and the Beer Skate sold out…unless you want to spend a bunch of money online for one. We had a new "Karen of the Day" who is really upset about losing out on shotgun, and we also played "One Gotta Go Wednesday" - Music edition this morning. Great story about a woman with MS who just became the first person in a wheelchair to complete the entire 1,000km Munda Biddi Trail, and another great story about a woman who was recently reunited with a CPS caseworker that helped her two decades ago while she was still in foster care. Do you like soccer? Do you need money? There's a new job that is looking to pay someone to watch the World Cup…while being watched themselves.
