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!

Hello!! On the show today, we let you know what's new on "New Release Tuesday" and we also talked to Grant Bilse from the Wisco Sports Show. Some medical students are going to be enjoying some free tuition thanks to a BILLION dollar donation, and a cool story about an intervention specialist at an elementary school who also cuts the kids' hair for free. Had a "Karen of the Day" along with a "Kyle of the Day"! Bengals' QB Joe Burrow found an interesting way to help rehab from his wrist injury last season, a Tour de France cyclist got fined for kissing his wife during the race, and a recent poll about "Midwest Nice" revealed that most people in the Midwest apologize for stuff when they've done absolutely nothing wrong. During today's "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a Scottish woman who tattooed her PIN number on her leg, a #FloridaMan who dropped a toddler out of a second-floor window, a man in Massachusetts who was saved by a stranger at a recent Rolling Stones show, a new way of dealing with gnats, a cat who had it's eyes sealed shut with a glue-like substance, a couple who tried to dine & dash from a restaurant, and Elton John supposedly peed in a bottle at a sneaker store in France.

Today is essentially "Hump Day" as we're off on Thursday & Friday this week. So let's get over the hump with what's new on New Release Tuesday, and a very in-depth update on the Hawk Tuah Girl, including her run-in with Shaq over the weekend, her appearance on a recent podcast, and a guy who wants her to spit in a jar for $600. Talked about the start of NBA & NHL free agency, and the wild news about the Celtics being for sale just days after winning the franchise's 18th title. Nice move by MrBeast, who just helped build 100 homes for impoverished people in Jamaica, El Salvador, & Argentina. Today is "Made in the USA Day", and "World UFO Day", and to celebrate, Subway stores around the US are using drones to deliver foot-longs to hungry customers. Obviously, the 4th of July is coming up later this week, so we took a look at some stats & info on the holiday, including the kinds of hot dogs we're Googling. Looks like former #1 NFL draft pick, Jamarcus Russell, is in some deep shit. Talked with Grant Bilse from the Wisco Sports Show, and during today's "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a cafe owner that had to close because of her neighbors complaining about the smell of Bacon, a guy who robbed a couple in Hawaii & then chased them up a volcano, a guy who blew off a bunch of his fingers with some fireworks, a guy in a cemetery in Maine who was smashing turtles, a #FloridaWoman who wanted to cuddle with her boyfriend, and an airplane that experienced some serious turbulence.

Sad news right out of the gate this morning as Shifty Shellshock, the lead singer for Crazy Town, was found dead in his home in California yesterday. We also talked about some of the heavy flooding happening throughout the Midwest. Stanley Cup finals wrapped up last night with Florida getting the game seven win over Edmonton, and an MMA fighter recently lost his match, and then proposed to his girlfriend in the octagon following the loss…only to have her say "NO" Let you know what's new on New Release Tuesday and Brian tried to answer an email about things to do on Cape Cod. Cool story about some students at Johns Hopkins that have invented a leaf blower silencer that cuts noise by 37% without cutting any power. In case you missed it, Hooters recently closed a bunch of locations around the country, and a couple of travel-related stories about "destination dupes" and "raw-dogging" flights. Did you see the video of the bare-knuckle fighter who started punching the ref after getting a TKO? There's a new "World's Ugliest Dog", and because of the excessive heat nationwide, we ran down a list of "It's so hot that"... We talked to Grant Bilse from the Wisco Sports Show, and we also talked about the video from last week of the bear that got into a snack bar at an amusement park. During today's "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a woman who divorced her husband because he over-tightened all the jars in their house, a guy who got busted having sex with a seat on a train, and a guy who flew from NJ to Florida to try and kill another guy for talking smack during an online video-game session.
