Jean's B-day, things to look forward to in August, and human hibernation?

from ROCK MORNINGS · host Brian Simpson

It's Friday and we've got a LOT to do this morning! First off, it's Jean's Birthday! She's gotta be getting close to 60 at this point. Poor old gal! We celebrated Jean all morning long and surprised her with some breakfast & a really beautiful bouquet. Also this morning, Doc joined us to talk racing, courtesy of County Materials in Holmen. In the news this morning, the latest on the air quality in the Midwest, a recent Delta flight hit some major turbulence and sent dozens of passengers to the hospital, an Arkansas teacher has been arrested for killing a couple that were hiking in a state park, and is hibernation for humans possible??? In sports, the NFL Hall of Fame game was last night, Conor McGregor was found liable in a civil rape & sexual assault suit, the Brewers play tonight in Washington…and speaking of Washington…wide receiver Terry McLaurin has requested a trade, and President Trump had a few things to say about a possible name change for the Washington NFL team. And he also had some trouble pronouncing Tua Tagovailoa's name. Elsewhere in sports, the Cubs are set to honor Ryne Sandberg this weekend, Hulk Hogan's official cause of death was released, and the Ravens have turned to Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps for some help learning how to swim! Very cool story about a community that came together to save the wedding of a couple who's reception was destroyed by vandals. We ran down a list of things to look forward to in the month of August, including the upcoming movies, TV shows, sporting events, and "holidays" Let you know what's in theaters this weekend and what's on the TV. Plus, a new television series based on the "Hostel" movie series is apparently on the way! And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy in California who stole from a little league in Pasadena, a woman who ended up with a bat in her mouth, the summer phenomenon known as "long balls", a guy who woke up during an organ harvesting surgery, and a ride at an amusement park in Saudi Arabi that suffered a massive malfunction.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
