The perfect gift for a kid...and current tech that will be ridiculous in 50 years.

from ROCK MORNINGS · host Brian Simpson

Get ready, because that heat is coming! Looking at 94° tomorrow with some showers in the morning and more rain likely on Thursday. We talked about the upcoming "heat dome" in the news this morning…along with the haze from the Canadian wildfires. Also in the news, the search for Eliotte Heinz continues, Malcolm-Jamal Warner died over the weekend in a drowning accident, a Wisconsin murder suspect who was arrested in Nebraska just faced an extradition hearing, and a federal judge sentenced a former Louisville police detective to 33 months in prison for his role in the death of Breonna Taylor. In sports, the Brewers continued their hot streak by beating the Mariners last night, the Packers have signed Zach Tom to an extension, Chris Paul is heading back to the Clippers, and Will Levis is done for the season already. Elsewhere in sports, Jake Retzlaff is leaving BYU for Tulane, and Deion Sanders is still dealing with some sort of health issue. We let you know what's on TV today/tonight, and what's new on New Release Tuesday. Plus, we talked to Grant Bilse from the Wisco Sports Show about kiss-cams after the whole Coldplay debacle. Speaking of TV, Stephen Colbert clapped back at President Trump on the Late Show last night. Check out this kid in NY who launched his own burger stand and is giving away free burgers to Veterans along with donating to Veteran's causes. What's the perfect gift for a kid? A writer for Slate suggests that it's some candy & $20! A new study reveals the minimum age that kids should get phones & social media. And a list of some of the current tech that will seem ridiculous in 50 years. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about an ad executive from NYC who got drunk in #Florida and pissed off a rooftop bar onto some people below, a drug dealer who accidentally texted a police officer, a dog who got adopted from a shelter…shaved from the head down…and returned to the shelter hours later, a woman who attacked another woman at a Walmart with a sock filled with rocks, and a guy who drove his lawnmower on a busy highway.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
