    No Jean, no problem! Interview with Dave Mustaine. Is "flirting" with an A.I. program actually cheating?

    This heat is the WORST! I guess you could say it's going to cool off tomorrow with a high of just 87°, but I'm done with Summer. Let's get those crispy nights & chilly mornings going already. Jean's on vacation this week in Boston with her family, but I've got plenty of stuff to do this week with a big show on Friday at the Oktoberfest grounds…and a major concert announcement tomorrow morning. Speaking of this Friday's Megadeth & Obituary show at the Festgrounds, we talked to the legendary Dave Mustaine on Friday and ran that interview this morning. In the news today, a deadly shooting at a food festival in Seattle, a recall on a fabric dresser sold at Walmart, a deadly attack on a Pride celebration in Berlin, the latest on the shooting in Madison last week, and an update on the bio-hacker dude. The Brew Crew got a stellar start from the Miz yesterday and crushed the Rockies, Todd Gilliland may have won the $1 million in-season NASCAR tournament…but Corey Heim won the race yesterday, Tony Romo got popped for DUI over the weekend, and Lebron is heading to Philly to join the 76ers. Talked about what's on TV & streaming today/tonight…and recapped some of the highlights from this past weekend's Comic-Con in San Diego. Punch the Monkey just celebrated his first birthday and appears to be doing much better…and a dog that went missing over the 4th of July has been found & returned to his owners. A recent survey asked Americans if "flirting" with an A.I. program counts as cheating on your significant other…and about 1/4 of people think it does. Elsewhere in sports, the baseball HOF got some new inductees this weekend, Jacoby Brissett gets a nice contract extension, the 49ers head coach was involved in a pretty serious accident recently, John Tortarella is looking to coach again, and the NFLPA is investigating the Panthers after a player got seriously injured on the very first day of training camp! And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaMan who broke into a neighbor's house and made himself a margarita, a #FloridaWoman who stabbed her friend with a pair of scissors, a guy who got stuck inside of a gas station sign for several hours, a couple of guys who parachuted off the space needle in Seattle, and a woman on a Carnival cruise ship that was scratching her feet with a fork.

    Doc's Racing Report. Karen of the Day. Do you celebrate "SummerWeen"?

    Here comes the heat again. Not bad today with a high around 80°…but reaching the upper 80's tomorrow and into the 90's by Sunday & Monday. Uffdah. Today is Jean's last day on the show for awhile as she & the family are headed to Boston & Cape Cod for a summer vacation. Speaking of Summer…a bunch of people like to into Halloween-mode the day after the 4th of July. And if you're one of them, we talked about some horror movies that are set during the Summer months that you might want to watch. In the news this morning, Powerball is now available in the US and the UK, a recall on toaster ovens, a bear got stuck on a utility pole, Vance Boelter is sentenced, a verdict in the Shiloh Hendrix case, and the latest on the deadly officer-involved shooting in Madison. In sports, the Brewers start a 3-game series with the Rockies tonight, the Dodgers visited the White House yesterday to celebrate their World Series win last season, Fernando Mendoza signs his rookie contract with the Raiders, the Ravens already released Diego Pavia, and Patrick Kane is coming back to Chicago! We let you know what's on TV & streaming this weekend and what's new in theaters. Plus, some new music you may want to pick up. Also talked about a new series being produced by Peyton Manning called "NASCAR: Americana" Earlier this week, we had a story about USPS worker in #Florida who was picking up random animals while delivering mail and bringing them back to her house…and now a bunch of those animals are being reunited with their rightful owners. Also, a teenager with some serious lasso skills just recently saved a person who was drowning in the Yellowstone River. And speaking of helping people…who better than Spider Man to come to someone's rescue??? We had a new "Karen of the Day" who really doesn't like people using his driveway to turn around in. Elsewhere in sports, the Cubs aren't seeking any punishment for the fan involved in that viral slapping incident last weekend, the Norweigan Football Federation is lodging a formal complaint with FIFA in regards to President Trump's World Cup involvement, and a fan who jumped into a fountain in Kansas City to grab a home run ball gets an assist from the player who hit the dinger. Doc joined us just after 8am for today's Racing Report thanks to County Materials in Holmen & Eau Claire. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a Sinclair gas station dinosaur that was recently stolen & moved to a more scenic location, a #FloridaMan who received over a kilo of cocaine in the mail, a woman in Tennessee who got arrested after she exposed herself during a traffic stop, a fight between a swimmer & a kite surfer that almost turned deadly, a search of a funeral home found a bucket filled with organs, a dead body was discovered in a donation box, and a former doctor in Washington state who hired a hitman to get his ex-wife addicted to heroin.

Conan O'Brien explains what happened to his hair after recent pics of him went viral, a sequel to "Days of Thunder" is in the works, and the Ghostface from the "Scary Movie" franchise launches an OnlyFans account. Great story about a teen driver who trusted his gut & checked on a car in a ditch…which led to him possibly saving a woman's life! As we always do on Thursday mornings, we asked each other Hypothetical questions…and Brian's question for Jean was: "If you could only listen to music with one form of media for the rest of your life, what would it be? Tapes/Records/CDs/MP3s" While Jean's question for Brian was: " " Elsewhere in sports, Sophie Cunningham clarifies her statements on trans athletes, Charlie Woods gets interrupted in his backswing, the latest on the Cubs fan who slapped another fan when they refused to stand for the National anthem, an American cyclist gets brake-checked by a car before a stage at the Tour de France, and an update on the Puka Nacua bite allegations.

    One Gotta Go Wednesday. Girl/Guy "flexes". New foods & drinks at the MN State Fair.

    It's Hump Day and the weather is going to be absolutely delightful! Sunny & 74° today with the heat returning this weekend. So get out & enjoy it! In the news this morning, a recall on garlic powder sold nationwide, actress Kaylee Hottle died in a car crash in Maryland, a woman in Oklahoma is found guilty of failing to protect her daughter, more idiots in Yellowstone, and a cargo plane had a very rough landing in Cincinnati. In sports, the Brewers lost to the Mets last night, the Dolphins sign an extension with Jordyn Brooks, the Miami Heat "accidentally" posted a link to a Lebron James introductory press conference, the World Cup final between Argentina & Spain had a ton of viewers, Giants head coach John Harbaugh reacts to the viral Cam Skattebo video from Fanatics Fest, ESPN announces a bunch of layoffs, and Aaron Rodgers is apparently trying to rebuild his relationship with his family. We talked about what's on TV & streaming today/tonight. And apparently, people are refusing to leave their seats at concerts to use the restrooms. Great story about a very large senior dog that got too tired on a walk with it's owner and had to be rescued by some firefighters. And a young girl diagnosed with a rare disease got a bone marrow donation from her very brave sister. It's One Gotta Go Wednesday, and today's choices were popular Summer activities - A day at the pool/beach. A day on the river/lake. A fire pit in the backyard. Or some time at a cabin up north.

A couple of recent Reddit threads asked people to list guy & girl "flexes" that makes someone instantly attractive. We checked in to see if we're on the attractive side of things. The MN State Fair is coming up next month and the new foods & drinks are starting to get released, so we took a look at what you can expect if you're going to the Sweat Together. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a refrigerator for human beings, a woman who sold a guy's tarantula collection while he was in jail, a #FloridaWoman who was arrested after locking her dogs in a storage locker, another #FloridaWoman who was apparently collecting stray cats while delivering mail & hoarding them in deplorable conditions, and a dude dressed as a mime got busted for being creepy & weird.

    Grant Bilse of the Wisco Sports Show. Are you packing your cooler correctly? Should we stand for the anthem?

    We're getting the gang back together! After a week at Rock Fest, Brian came back to an empty studio because Jean went to see AC/DC on Sunday. But this morning, we're both back in the studio and Grant Bilse of the Wisco Sports Show joined us on the phone just after 8am. In the news this morning, the latest on the lettuce recall, people are in love with Jimothy the raccoon, an epic meltdown in #Florida, the White House teleprompter guy was apparently betting on Trump's speeches, and Jean recapped her trip to Madison to see AC/DC. In sports, the Brewers kept the train rollin' with a win over the Mets last night, the Packers signed an extension with Devonte Wyatt, the Michigan AD is stepping down, the latest on the death of Hannah Rapp, and the financial situation with LIV golf is getting worse. We talked about what's on TV & streaming today/tonight and we discussed the new "Avengers: Doomsday" trailer that dropped yesterday. Plus, Kelly Clarkson apparently thought she caught the explosive diarrhea…and Jerry Seinfeld was getting paid a ridiculous amount of money while filming "Seinfeld". Cool story about a 73 year-old guy who spends his time volunteering as a NICU baby cuddler, and a woman who bought a "soulmate drawing" off Etsy is now engaged to a guy that looks exactly like the drawing. Are you packing your cooler properly? Elsewhere in sports, FIFA is investigating the scrum after the World Cup championship game between Argentina and Spain, the WTA is going to start testing for gender, Josh Kerr breaks the 1-mile record, Bryson Dechambeau tried to call President Trump to help him with a penalty at the Open Championship, and people are arguing online about the viral video of a fan getting slapped by another fan after not standing for the National Anthem.

    Rock Fest Recap. Doc checks in. Spending 8 hours in the tank of a porta-potty.

    I love Rock Fest. I miss being there. I had such a great time. But man, am I glad to be home and poop in my own toilet, shower in my own shower, and sleep in my own bed. Jean's out this morning as she went to AC/DC last night in Madison. So, I ran a couple of the interviews we recorded while in the radio booth at Rock Fest including my conversations with the Autumn Kings, Kami Kehoe, and Story of the Year! In the news this morning, the explosive diarrhea has been traced back to some lettuce, the WI DNR extends their air quality advisory until noon today, David Crowley is back in the race for Governor of WI after getting an endorsement from Tony Evers, a man drowned in the Chippewa River after fleeing from police, and a start-up company is taking orders on survival pods! In sports, the Brewers restart the regular season with a sweep of the Marlins, Spain beats Argentina to claim the World Cup title and they got PAID by FIFA…which might be why they're trying to sell all that grass from the field in New Jersey(which isn't going over too well in the Garden State). Let you know what's on TV & streaming today/tonight and talked about the most-watched series on Netflix from the last four years. Plus, is Darius Rucker calling it a career? Today happens to be the anniversary of the release of the original "Neverending Story" movie…which lines up nicely with this story about a pony that almost suffered the same fate at Artax, but was rescued by a fire department in PA. And speaking of nice saves, check out this guy who used his own vehicle to stop a runaway vehicle in Washington. Elsewhere in the world of sports, Joey Logano gets his first win of the NASCAR season, Connor Bedard gets a contract extension, Cam Skattebo scares Giants fans by trying to do a flip at FanFest, Saquon Barkley's house gets robbed, Conor McGregor talks about the injuries he sustained during his last fight, and apparently…Madison Square Garden keeps a list of artists that may be difficult to deal with. In today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy in Texas who just got his 12th OWI, a #FloridaMan who tried switching seats with his passenger after getting pulled over, a guy who fell into the tank of a porta potty and had to be cut out by a fire department, a woman who got busted with drugs hidden all over & in her body, a woman who was driving around naked with a bunch of drugs & guns in her car.

The World Cup continues this afternoon, the Packers sign a contract extension with Isaiah McDuffie, and Conor McGregor is going to get surgery on his injured knee and eventually return to the octagon. We let you know what's on TV & streaming today/tonight and what's new on New Release Tuesday. Plus, they're rebooting "A Nightmare on Elm St." again. Incredible story of an off-duty firefighter in Texas who recently saved a bunch of kids from drowning after a boat capsized. And a guy from Indiana just recently completed a 14-year challenge by walking the equivalent of the Earth's circumference. As Brian gets ready to travel to Cadott for Rock Fest later today, Jean will be getting ready for her family trip to Boston & Cape Cod later this month…but she might want to rethink her decision to drive from the city to the Cape as Boston has the WORST drivers in the country. Elsewhere in sports, Adam Schefter signs a contract extension with ESPN, and Bryce Harper fights back against a Fanduel cameo video he recorded. July is "National Grilling Month", so we looked at some stats & info on using the grill. Plus, Brian might want to start eating spicy food. Tuesdays are the day we chat with Grant Bilse from the Wisco Sports Show. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a naked man in Portland who tried to abduct a kid, a DoorDash delivery driver who got hit by a car during a police chase, a rabid beaver in NY that's been attacking swimmers, and a #FloridaMan who pepper sprayed a family at a pet store.
