Enhanced Olympics. Pasta sauces. Muppets. Visitors in the studio!
Finally going to dry up a bit today after all this rain. Which is good, because my lawn desperately needs to be mowed! As we get ready for the long, holiday weekend ahead, we took a bit of a look back this morning in the news with the latest on Steven Avery. Plus, an update on the alleged murder/suicide at UW-Platteville earlier this week. Also in the news, Judge Hannah Dugan was caught on video confronting ICE agents in the courtroom, the state of WI is testing milk for avian flu, and a few more arrests have been made in connection to the jailbreak in Louisiana. In sports this morning, the Brewers lost yesterday to the Orioles in extra innings, the Pacers beat the Knicks in overtime last night, and the Dallas Stars doubled up the Edmonton Oilers. Also, the Badgers/Fighting Irish game at Lambeau Field in 2026 has a new date, Colts owner Jim Irsay passed away, a new MVP in the NBA, and the Tush Push isn't going anywhere. Cool story about a lost class ring that made it's way back to the family of the original owner, and a morning news anchor at a TV station went into labor right before going on-air to deliver the news. It's another "Hypothetical Thursday" today, and Jean's question for Brian was, "If you could be any Muppet, which would you be?" Meanwhile, Brian's question for Jean was, "You can only have one pasta sauce for the rest of your life. Which are you choosing?" A couple of new "trends" are making the rounds, including men wearing cleats during their daily lives, rather than just on the field. And putting flowers in your toilet tank. In case you missed it, the enhanced Olympics are just a year away…and in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy who got "parrot chlamydia", an idiot who jumped off a bridge, a man who died after a bee attack, a man who was chased by police while trying to get his diploma, and a guy who identifies himself as "Master Baiter".See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
