Fireworks names, cities that pay you to move there, and would you visit a real-life Jurassic Park?

from ROCK MORNINGS · host Brian Simpson

Happy Hump Day, yo! Looking forward to heading down to Riverside Park later this morning for the start of RiverFest in La Crosse. Not sure what I'll be eating for lunch, but I'm definitely going home to sit in the AC afterwards. We kicked things off this morning with news about a train derailment in Wisconsin, a new budget deal in the state, some of the beaches that are closed for the 4th of July weekend due to high levels of E.coli, an update on the Idaho firefighter shootings, and a wind turbine blade that caused an accident on a highway. In sports, the Brew Crew got rained out yesterday, Damian Lillard's time in Milwaukee is over, SGA got a VERY BIG contract extension, and Malik Beasley is in some BIG trouble. We let you know what's on the boob tube today, and a new movie is in theaters today as well(Jurassic World: Rebirth). Speaking of dinosaur zoos, would you visit a real-life Jurassic Park if it existed? Plus, the Hallmark Channel's "Christmas In July" starts this weekend if you're interested. Since we aren't live on Friday morning, Doc joined us early this week with his Racing Report, thanks to County Materials in Holmen. Elsewhere in sports, the Indiana Fever won the WNBA's in-season tournament without Caitlin Clark on the floor last night, Coco Gauff loses in the first round at Wimbledon, and the University of Pennsylvania violated the rights of female athletes. Lots of 4th of July stuff this morning including some of the suggested movies to watch over the holiday weekend, some "must-haves" for your backyard BBQ, and a list of the more interesting names for fireworks! If you're unhappy with where you live and you're looking to pack up & move somewhere else, check out this list of cities & states that will pay you to move there. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy who got pulled over for DUI with over SEVENTY Bud Light empties in his car, a crazy cat lady who left over 100 cats in a UHaul trailer, a #FloridaWoman who locked her two kids in a shed so she could run some errands, a NYC firefighter who is suspended for giving "hot girls" rides on the firetruck, and a 360 square foot "house" in Seattle for sale for $416,000See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
