Jason Koger: Owensboro’s Bionic Man [Video]

When I was a kid, I loved watching The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman.  I remember thinking how cool it would be to have a bionic leg or bionic hearing or a bionic arm.  While he never in a million years thought he would have a Steve Austin or Jamie Sommers-style accident and end up with bionic limbs (he was electrocuted), Owensboro's Jason Koger is enjoying his brand new bionic hands, that he demonstrated recently when he stopped by the WBKR studios.  Take a look!  Jason's new Touch Bionics hands can be controlled by a phone app and they will absolutely blow your mind!  This is truly one of the coolest things I have ever seen . . .

Chad And Jaclyn Run The Mud Run Course: Part 2 [VIDEO]

With the Owensboro Mud Run set to happen on Saturday at Diamond Lake, Chad decided we should run the course. I shared several videos with you from Part 1. If you haven't watched those yet, do it now, ha!

Here are a few remaining obstacles we attempted, and even threw in Chad racing Brian Smith in the mini-truck! I may or may not hit myself in the race with a rope....ok, I do, wasn't exactly how I thought that obstacle would end, ha! Want to see Chad roll down Heartbreak Hill or climb a huge rope in waders? Watch now!

Chad And Jaclyn Run The Mud Run Course: Part 1 [VIDEO]

The Owensboro Mud Run is THIS Saturday at Diamond Lake Resort. This event is going to be awesome! Proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society and you can still register.

Chad is always coming up with crazy ideas that I basically have no say-so in and running this course beforehand is his latest! We went out to Diamond Lake Tuesday afternoon and actually ran the entire course! (I'm still sore, I have blisters and my left leg is jacked up!) Although all of the course wasn't constructed yet, we scaled a 6 foot wall (well, I basically face-planted), we crossed grown-man monkey bars, attempted the cargo net and Chad even got in the water for those three obstacles. Watch and be prepared to laugh!
