Weird gadgets at the CES in Vegas. Hilariously incorrect predictions from the 1950s.

from ROCK MORNINGS · host Brian Simpson

Hump Day is here and Workforce Wednesday is back! So head to the website or the app to tell us where you're working for a chance to win freebies from GameDay Men's Health. Today is "National Bobblehead Day" and it's also "National Pass Gas Day"…which seems fitting since yesterday was "National Bean Day". In the news this morning, the Hilton hotel brand is removing a location in Minneapolis that refused to accept bookings from ICE agents, some chilling news regarding the MIT & Brown University shooter, and it's officially Girl Scout Cookie season! In sports, the Badgers got a nice win over UCLA last night, the Bucks take on the Golden State Warriors tonight, a look at the Wild Card round schedule, and the latest on the NFL coaches who've gotten fired over the last several days. Elsewhere in sports, the schedule for the College Football Playoffs & National Championship game, the NASCAR commissioner resigns, and Matt Kalil is suing his ex-wife for revealing the size of his manhood. We talked about what's on TV & streaming today/tonight. And we also talked about the worst pain we've ever felt. A deer that was trapped in a basement in Wisconsin was rescued by some wildlife officials, a lost engagement ring gets found, and a boy finally gets adopted after over 900 days in the foster care system. We took a look at some of the weirdest & most interesting gadgets that debuted at this year's CES in Vegas, and also talked about some hilariously incorrect predictions from the 1950's. Speaking of tech stuff…someone recently asked ChatGPT what it would do if it were human for a day. Kudos to these Pittsburgh fans who are turning a negative into a positive by donating to a charity affiliated with the Ravens kicker who missed the potential game-winning field goal on Sunday night. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy who stole his ex-girlfriend's car WHILE she was in labor delivering his baby, a guy in China who survived after falling from the 15th floor of a building, a woman in Hong Kong who attacked a bunch of people & cops with a meat cleaver, a #FloridaMan who got arrested for trespassing while wearing some rather interesting things, and a guy in Italy who is suing a restaurant after one of their promotional videos on TikTok exposed him cheating on his wife.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
