Also talked about Aaron Rodgers apparently regretting that he claimed to be "immunized" back in 2021, and the use of "guardian caps" in the NFL this season. Today is "International Left-Handers Day", so we took a look at some small ways the world is set up to benefit righties. It's also "Filet Mignon Day", and Shaw is planning on having some for dinner! Just not too much. Fantastic story about a dog in Canada that was stuck in some mud along a river bank and was rescued by a guy in a canoe! Talked a bit about today's primary in WI and also about a guy who was trying to swim across Lake Michigan. And speaking of the Great Lakes, did you see there's a gator in Lake Erie? Grant Bilse from the Wisco Sports Show joined us to talk Packer preseason football and why he hates Jayson Tatum so much. During today's "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about Flavor Flav hooking Jordan Chiles up with a custom piece of jewelry, people in NY who are cheating the toll booths, an anti-gun violence advocate who just shot someone, a guy who's trying to set the world record for run-ins with the law, a guy working to fix a woman's phone was actually stealing her nude videos, an idiot bicyclist who didn't follow the rules & paid dearly for it, and if you're attractive…you'll live longer.

Welcome to Tuesday! We had some significant rain & wind move through the area last night, but nothing close to what's going on in the south with Hurricane Debby. Recapped the Olympic action from yesterday, including an updated medal count, an offer for the French pole-vaulter that went viral over the weekend, a cyclist who had to use the bathroom mid-race, and a very emotional story about a rower from Great Britain. ICYMI, the Brewers will be back at Am-Fam Field on Friday after a few games on the road, and they're offering a 2-for-1 deal on beers. Let you know what's new on New Release Tuesday and we talked about a new hack to help you de-clutter your house. A kid in Oklahoma recently hosted his annual backpack giveaway for students returning to school in the fall and they gave out over 6,000 backpacks filled with supplies! And a tortoise who's been missing for a couple of days managed to cross a busy highway before being found by the cops & returned to his owners. Have you heard about the new dog perfume from Dolce & Gabbana? It's real. And it's EXPENSIVE! Grant Bilse is back from vacation and joined us to talk Brewers! And during today's "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about Robert F. Kennedy & a bear, a guy who's using billboards to find a date, a guy who hit a Lowe's employee over the head with a sledgehammer before stealing some drill bits, a woman who killed her roommate's pet spider, a guy who hit his mother in the face with some spaghetti, a man who got two fast food meals for his birthday but wasn't very satisfied, another guy who wanted a third hash brown, and a world-record eggplant!

Woke up to some rain this morning and might see some more tonight. Started the morning with news about the Vice President coming to Wisconsin today on the campaign trail, and Shaw shared a positive update on his personal life! We let you know what's new on New Release Tuesday and we also talked to Grant Bilse from the Wisco Sports Show. Packers QB Jordan Love isn't going to practice until he gets a new deal from the team, and former Packer, Davante Adams, is looking to get TB12 out of retirement to quarterback the Raiders! Riding on the instant success of "Twisters" hitting theaters, the Hollywood Reporter put out a list of the Top 11 Disaster Movies of all time. Great story about a K9 Officer in North Carolina that helped a nonverbal boy find his way home after he got lost. Have you seen these new vape pens that are also disposable, and also function as a phone & a fitness tracker? The Paris Olympics get started later this week and a diver from the UK is testing the "anti-sex" beds to make sure they'll be able to fornicate while in France. During today's "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about those pesky political texts, a woman who called 911 HUNDREDS of times, a dead hiker in Peru was discovered 22 years after being buried in an avalanche, a guy who got shot in the chest after drunkenly showing off his guns to his buddy, a Vegas escort who robbed a guy after having sex with him, a Karen that got upset about a missing chicken strip at a Jack-in-the-Box, a Southwest Airline flight that flew just 150 above the ground, an extreme eater who died while live-streaming, and a bride-to-be that had breast augmentation surgery right before her wedding…only to lose a nipple!
