We talked about what's on TV tonight and we looked at a list of the strangest items left in unclaimed baggage over the last year. Plus, a baby walrus that is going viral…and a couple that have adopted several children with severe medical needs/challenges. Also, do you find it difficult to hear when you're in a crowded bar or restaurant? Here's a tip to assist in hearing more clearly. In today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had people riding horses in a Walmart, sperm racing, a gum that could help prevent flu & herpes infections, a #FloridaMan named "Ed Cocaine" who attacked a Subway employee, another #FloridaMan who threw bottles of his piss after being turned down at a job interview, a nurse from MN who allegedly grabbed a flight attendant's crotch, a guy who blamed his car crash on his Crocs, and a pastor who thinks the airport scanners will turn you gay.

The weekend has finally arrived. And I'm still not 100%. Feeling a bit better than yesterday, but still coughing up chunky phlegm and dealing with stuffy sinus issues. Blech. Maybe some time outside in the warmer temps this weekend will help.

Tomorrow is "National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day", so we discussed some stats on one of our favorite sammies. And in other food news, a restaurant in South Carolina has a S'mores/Oyster hybrid on it's menu. Sounds disgusting. Betty White lived a very long time and most of us know that a daily hot dog was one of her secrets to a long life. But apparently, she also admitted that some vodka & chocolate cake in the morning might have helped. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a DUI in Iowa involving some construction equipment, a guy in China who loved sniffing his smelly socks so much that he developed a lung infection, a woman who called AAA to fix her flat tire after the cops used spike-strips on her car during a high speed chase, an assistant principal who got a foot massage from a student, and a former judge who shot her ex-husband AND her ex-boyfriend.

Wild story & video footage from California yesterday where the wife of Weezer's bassist was shot & arrested by police. Office Cora joined me to talk about what she's doing this weekend in the 715 and to play a round of "Hypothetical Thursday". My question for her was: If you could only have one for the rest of your life, would you choose meat or veggies? Her question for me was: What superpower would you choose? Another day, another lost dog reunited with it's owner thanks to the kindness & generosity of others. And a student helped to save a teacher's life after they collapsed. Have you ever worked at a job with background music? Apparently it can be VERY detrimental to your mental health and your productivity at work. Go figure.
