Hypothetical Thursday. No Office Cora. A really sad story.

The line at the car wash was long, but it was sooooo worth the wait yesterday!

Truck was absolutely filthy. I see some rain in the forecast tomorrow. Might even get a thunderstorm!

It’s Hypothetical Thursday on the show, so we asked each other hypothetical questions this morning. Jean’s question was: “Would you rather have to grill 100% of your food or microwave it all?”

Brian’s question was: “What would be the worst thing to be allergic to?”

Sadly, Office Cora was sick this morning, but we still hooked you up with some things to do in the 715 this weekend.

In the news this morning, and update on the search for Nancy Grace, the Wendy’s CEO has thrown his hat into the “burger taste-testing” arena, a recall on frozen items from Trader Joe’s, and a proposal to ban cell phones in classrooms in Wisconsin.

In sports, the Bucks lost again last night, the Badgers handily beat Maryland, an update on the World Baseball Classic, and legendary college football coach Lou Holtz died yesterday. And did you see this ref get punched at a college basketball game last night?

Elsewhere in sports, a Bears player retires unexpectedly, the NFL announced the opponents for this upcoming season’s Hall of Fame game, and Dick Vitale is going to be on the call for one of the First Four men’s basketball games in the March Madness tourney.

We talked about what’s on TV today/tonight, and we also discussed what happened on Survivor last night(dude shit himself). Also, a possible Sphere being built in Nashville?

Did you hear about the “mini miracle” on the Hudson River from a few days ago? Same scenario, just on a smaller scale as the original “Miracle on the Hudson” from 2009. A dog that spent most of her life at a shelter in Tennessee is now going to her fur-ever home, and a cat in Ireland that was missing for two weeks was just found in the wall of the home!

Is this the saddest story of all time? An 82-year-old man who fought to get a traffic light installed at the intersection where his wife was killed in 2024 died on Monday in a car crash in the very same place. The traffic light was never added.

And in today’s edition of “Bad News with Happy Music”, we had stories about a “cool mom” in Utah who was arrested after she allegedly served alcohol to numerous children at a birthday party last weekend, a bar in Pittsburgh got an unwelcome guest last weekend, a woman in Canada who has run afoul of the Spice Girls, and a #FloridaWoman who got arrested for DUI and punched a cop in the face.
