And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had teens in California riding E-bikes through a Walmart, a guy who was experimenting with some homemade fireworks and it didn't go so well, and a guy who's going to prison after squirting semen on unsuspecting women for nearly 30 years.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Plus, the trailer for the new "Street Fighter" movie just dropped, and sadly..."Spaceballs 2" isn't going to be called "The search for more money." Funny story about cops getting called to do a welfare check on an elderly woman in Ohio who was just too busy trying to beat her favorite video game to answer the phone, and a heart-warming story about an 11 year-old boy who was surprised by his classmates & teachers at his adoption hearing.

Talked racing with Doc just after 8am thanks to County Materials in Holmen & Eau Claire…and has the whole "pickle craze" finally gone too far? In today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a biker who kept track of how many times he's evaded the cops(until now), a scary stat about how often A.I. chatbots are misdiagnosing medical cases, a dude in China who had a metal chopstick stuck in his throat for EIGHT years, a new procedure to get an hour-glass figure, and another mysterious death/disappearance involving a person associated with NASA & alien technology.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Another warm one today with a high in the upper 70's. Might actually stay dry most of the day before more rain moves in on Friday. It's "Hypothetical Thursday", so we asked each other hypothetical questions. Brian's question for Jean was: "You're in the Matrix.

Elsewhere in sports, MLB & the Minnesota Twins are investigating an incident between a fan & the Red Sox' Jarren Duran the other night, and Flames goalie Dustin Wolf makes it a VERY special night for one kid in the crowd recently. A homeless man in #Florida is being called a hero after helping save a lost boy return to his family. And a virologist from Croatia treated her own breast cancer!

Gator on the roof. Scientology Runs. Office Cora. Sneezing bot flies!
