Hypothetical Thursday. Brian's zip-up hoodie. Soda jingles.

from ROCK MORNINGS · host Brian Simpson

Another day, another high of 14° today. It's Thursday, so that means we asked each other Hypothetical questions. Brian's question was the classic "Trolley dilemma" Jean's was: "Would you rather be completely alone all the time or have people around all the time?" Also on Thursdays, we talk to Office Cora to find out what she's up to in the 715 this weekend. Today, she also recapped her experience at last weekend's Riverfront Revolt. In the news this morning, a candidate for Governor of WI has dropped out of the race, a lawsuit involving Costco's rotisserie chicken, a recall on Gerber biscuits, and UPS is cutting a bunch of jobs nationwide. In sports, the Badgers overcame a 20-point deficit to beat the Gophers last night, the Bucks are in Washington tonight, Giannis trade rumors are starting to really heat up with the NBA trade deadline looming, the Browns have hired a new head coach, and another golfer is leaving LIV and heading back to the PGA tour. We talked about what's on TV today/tonight and discussed Neilsen's 2025 year-end streaming numbers. A guy in Wisconsin was rescued by some strangers after he fell through the ice on a lake while trying to ice fish, and a snowplow driver cleared the way for a woman to get her baby to the hospital in Cincinnati during a snow storm. Elsewhere in sports, the Duke QB officially transfers to Miami, the giant amount of money expected to be wagered on the Super Bowl, and a "cursed" NBA game!!! Google recently released some stats on what kind of winter-related searches were popular during the last few weeks, and a viral jingle for Dr. Pepper has inspired many other people to try and create jingles for their favorite sodas. And in today's episode of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy who cut off his own foot to get into medical school, a substitute teacher in Las Vegas who got fired after using the N-word during a class, a bunch of sewage is flowing into the Potomac River and creating a "geyser of poop", a #FloridaMan who was trying to toughen up his kid, and another #FloridaMan who was banging his vacuum in the middle of the street in broad daylight.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
