4th of July recap. National Fried Chicken Day deals. Snow rooms!

from ROCK MORNINGS · host Brian Simpson

I'm actually glad to be back at work. Don't get me wrong…I thoroughly enjoy a long holiday weekend with friends, drinks, food, & fireworks. But I also really enjoy my routines. So, being back in the building and getting things done is a wonderful return to reality. We recapped our respective 4th of July weekends and we talked about some of the other stuff that went down over the last three days, including: the Brooklyn bridge catching fire a skydiver who crash-landed but survive a plane that got hit by a firework a kind of ridiculous stat about America's 250th Elsewhere in the news this morning, a recall on a popular dog food & a recall on wire grill brushes, a deadly boating accident on Lake Geneva, In sports, the Brewers had a nice weekend against the D-Backs including a 3-2 win yesterday, Brandon Woodruff is back on the IL, the Miz is going to the All-Star game but likely won't be pitching, Team USA takes on Belgium tonight in the World Cup round of 16…and Folarin Balogun will be on the pitch after President Trump called in a favor to FIFA. Which the Belgium coach isn't very happy about. We talked about what's on TV today/tonight and Brian recapped a movie that he & his wife watched this weekend called "Saccharine". Plus, some tidbits about the big celebrity wedding that went down in NYC on Friday. A glimmer of hope in Venezuela after the deadly earthquake last week as a dog was rescued from the rubble eight days later. And check out this new app that can apparently help to predict when someone is going to suffer an asthma attack. Today is "National Fried Chicken Day"…so we hooked you up with some of the deals you can take advantage of to save money. Elsewhere in sports, Chase Briscoe got a win at Chicagoland yesterday, Joey Chestnut won his 18th Mustard Belt on Saturday at the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog eating competition, Alexander Ovechkin is coming back for another season, Serena is out at Wimbledon due to an injury, and a Moroccan soccer fan dies when her scarf got caught in the rear wheel of a motorcycle she was riding. A new report about the "ultra-rich" has Brian wondering if he's in the 1%. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a wild brawl involving roofers, a dominatrix that wrapped a guy in Saran-wrap and poured milk all over him, a guy who had his car stolen while he was busy robbing a Verizon store, used breast implants are apparently available to buy online, and an airline that offered a WILD compensation package to anyone willing to give up their seat on a flight.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
