    Hypothetical Thursday. Office Cora. Iconic movie quotes. Peeing on things.

    Welcome to Thursday! Not bad today…but really hot temps coming this weekend with highs in the 90's.

In the news this morning, Joe Gow's trial has been moved to September, former Judge Hannah Dugan avoids jail time, a recall on Honda Odysseys, an earthquake in Wisconsin, a warning about Needoh, David Crowley exits the Wisconsin governor's race, and a judge orders President Trump to pay $5 million to E.

The World Cup quarterfinals get started later today, Justin Verlander announces his retirement at the end of the season, Justin Bieber gets added to the halftime show of the World Cup finale, and Blackhawks' star Connor Bedard is going to miss the beginning of the NHL season. We let you know what's on TV & streaming today/tonight. And Jeopardy is apparently hiring! It's Hypothetical Thursday, and Brian's question for Jean was: "You're traveling back in time to medieval times and you can bring one item with you. What is it?" Meanwhile, Jean's question for Brian was: "What is the most iconic movie quote of all time?" Elsewhere in sports, a look at the diet of Erling Haaland, Republicans are worried about Caitlin Clark, and a betting scandal at the Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest??? Cool story about a couple that recently saved a bunch of people from drowning. And a dog that was literally thrown in the trash is now living it's best life!

    One Gotta Go Wednesday - streaming apps edition. Summer safety tips for your dogs. Greatest video games of all time!

In the news this morning, that biohacker guy reveals that he's got an incurable disease, a high-rise building in NYC is evacuated after support beams buckled yesterday, a daycare worker is being sued after tossing a kid in the air and failing to properly catch the kid, some people might be getting Covid tax refunds, an outbreak of explosive diarrhea is sweeping the nation, and a bigfoot hunter claims he has DNA evidence of a squatch!

We let you know what's on TV & streaming today. Plus, Wayne Manor is for sale if you've got a few million bucks laying around. And for a bit less money, you can buy some trash that was collected outside of Travis & Taylor's wedding in NYC last week…or maybe a bag of air from inside the venue. A brave family dog saves a kid from a bear attack by chasing off the animal…Kelsey Pfendler just made history as the first woman to solo row from California to Hawaii…and a woman suffering from Alzheimer's is rescued from a fire by her neighbors. On hump day we like to play "One Gotta Go Wednesday", and this week the choices were streaming services - Netflix…Disney+…or Amazon Prime??? Elsewhere in sports, Jalen Brunson helped the Knicks win the NBA Championship with an injured wrist that required surgery, the IOC is going to allow Russians to compete in the Olympics in Los Angeles, the Packers' Jayden Reed recently got engaged, and the Tartan Army may have left America…but they recently made a massive donation to a charity in Massachusetts to help kids in the Bay State. With it getting so hot all over the place and no signs of relief anytime soon…it's a great time to remind people of some Summer safety tips for your pups. And with today being "National Video Game Day", we looked at a list of the greatest video games of all time. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a bear that busted into an occupied hotel room in Tibet, a robot vacuum that exploded and critically injured a man in Australia, a Little League president that's being accused of embezzling a ton of money from the league, and a killer elephant in Nepal that's killed a bunch of people.

An 11 year-old boy is being called a hero after helping to save a drowning man, and a new stem cell treatment could help the blind to see! We talked about "snow rooms" yesterday, and if that's out of your price range, you might want to look into some air conditioned clothing instead. As Jean prepares for her big trip to the East Coast later this month, we took a look at a list of things you should do 24 hours before you leave for vacation. Did you use to mock "old people habits"?? Which habits are you now changing your mind about?
