What The Heck Did I Just Watch On ABC?!? Billboard Music Awards Leave Little to the Imagination [PHOTOS]

Jaclyn Graves — Mon, 20 May 2013 04:10:58 +0000

Disclaimer: I am apparently old-fashioned and this is me upset about watching, what I feel like should have aired after 10:00pm on a pay-per-view channel, the Billboard Music Awards.

I realize that music is art and I'm a full believer of this theory. But, I DO NOT think that for you to express yourself, you should leave your pants at home or basically give a dude a lap-dance on stage. Maybe it's just me?!?

But, the singer tweeted a precious picture of the two of them along with a sweet message. “So much love and joy on my first Mother’s Day! A very Happy Mother’s Day to [...]

10 Horses Wearing Kentucky Derby Hats

Emerald Catron — Sat, 04 May 2013 16:41:31 +0000

What’s the best part of the Kentucky Derby? The hats? The horse racing? The glasses filled with cold, cold whiskey? We couldn’t decide, so we put some hats on some horses to help us figure it out. It didn’t help. We’ll make up our mind tomorrow when the race is over. She stole this hat [...]

Tuesday afternoon, April 23rd, I did a live broadcast at Texas Gas for the Stand Against Child Abuse event. The turn-out was impressive. The support shown by passersby via car horns was awesome! I also learned a startling statistic. There were 2656 reported cases of child abuse or neglect in the Two Rivers Region of [...]

Eddie Wright — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 19:43:36 +0000

If you could travel back in time, would you snap a cell phone photo of the famous people you brushed shoulders with? In her latest series, Hungarian photographer Flora Borsi imagined what the world would be like if a time traveler could venture into the past and capture some of humankind's greatest, most iconic moments ever. But in this scenario, Borsi herself is the aforementioned time traveler.

Dave Spencer's Smart Phone Gallery Part I [PHOTOS]

Dave Spencer — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 07:16:45 +0000

This is one of those “just-for-the-heck-of-it” blogs where I go through my Android and look at all the pictures I’ve taken and decide to show you guys. It also makes me really want a good camera. Obviously, I appreciate the convenience of having a camera in my phone, but I think I’ve been bitten by [...]

Fallen Soldier Returns Home [VIDEO] [PHOTOS]

Jaclyn Graves — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 16:50:23 +0000

US Army Sgt. Michael Cable's body returned home Thursday morning. The Philpot 26 year old was killed while serving in Afghanistan last week.

Community members joined together this morning to show their support for Sgt. Cable and his family by lining up along the route from the airport to the funeral home.

I will never forget watching the processional of official vehicles, Patriot Riders and other organizations leading Sgt. Cable's body and family and close friends down Frederica Street. Three veterans stood with us in front of the station and seeing their reaction was very emotional. We tend to take for granted the freedoms what we have and the men and women who protect those freedoms. Sgt. Michael Cable and all that serve our great nation can never be thanked enough for their service.

Carsyn's Easter Bunny Visit [PHOTOS]

Jaclyn Graves — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 18:18:22 +0000

As we all know, Carsyn does not do well with characters in costumes in person. We've never had a picture with Santa and just a few weeks ago, we had to leave the rodeo after being there for 30 minutes because of the clowns. So, I know what you're thinking,"You're crazy if you think she's going to take a picture with the Easter Bunny!" Haha! Well, I reaaaally thought this trip was different! You see, I have a picture of her at about eight months old with the Easter Bunny. She loves it! And, for the last month or so, has been talking about taking a new picture with him!

We were SO excited talking about going to TowneSquare Mall and hanging out with the fuzzy little fella! Monday night was the night we'd been waiting for! So, what happened?!? Did Carsyn take her picture with the Easter bunny??

Jordan Winders — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 22:16:57 +0000

Just like much of America, I spent a good part of the weekend and end of last week watching basketball. And yes, my bracket is sadly down the drain. However I have been lucky enough to see some amazing games and game highlights. Along with the games, I have seen some interesting team mascots. A [...]

The Jocking Dead: Moon, Chad, Jaclyn, and Dave After the Zombie Apocalypse [GRAPHIC IMAGES]

Dave Spencer — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 19:00:33 +0000

First of all, I’m a huge fan of AMC’s The Walking Dead, as you may know. Second, last Sunday’s episode–entitled “Clear”–was the best episode, so far, since the series began. Great writing! Third, I’m not here to talk about that episode, even if I just did. I’m here to show you how the zombie apocalypse [...]

Shocking Crash Photo Stirs a Facebook Argument and Raises Some Interesting Questions

Dave Spencer — Sun, 24 Feb 2013 03:26:27 +0000

A friend of mine posted a pretty startling photo on his Facebook page. It comes from Speed Rebel Apparel Facebook page. Speed Rebel Apparel is an “extreme motorcycle clothing” company. I don’t think we’re talking suits of armor, but it’s obviously a bit different from your standard, run-of-the-mill motorcycle apparel. Regardless, the clothing company posted [...]

What Is This and Where Was I?

Dave Spencer — Sun, 03 Feb 2013 02:00:41 +0000

I thought we’d move this to the website. I was messin’ around one day and decided to do this after noticing something in a corner of something else. Yes, I’m being vague. Otherwise I might give it away. Actually, I think this is kind of easy, but I’ve already had someone guess what it was [...]

See the Cast of 'Santa Claus: the Movie' Then and Now

Moon Mullins — Tue, 25 Dec 2012 12:07:54 +0000

Jeremy Taylor at thefw.com had a great idea. Take the movie, 'Santa Claus: the Movie', a sprawling retelling of the legend of Santa Claus, with a subplot that involved a renegade elf named Patch who hooks up with a unscrupulous toy manufacturer before re-discovering the meaning of Christmas. Then, see what all the surviving cast members are doing. The star, Dudley Moore, passed away in 2002.

Could This Be Dave's First Tattoo?

Dave Spencer — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 18:43:21 +0000

It’s never occurred to me to get a tattoo. Never. I know plenty of folks who have them. Chad for one. And, in fact, on Wednesday evening, he was broadcasting from Lady Luck Tattoo and Body Piercing where he got his latest tattoo, “Let the Sirens Sound.” During one of his live breaks, he casually [...]

WBKR and Chamber of Commerce Encourage You to Vote

Dave Spencer — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 16:57:13 +0000

On Wednesdays, I answer the phones at the front desk during lunch. This Wednesday, I looked up and was startled to see President Barack Obama, Governor Mitt Romney, and Big Bird walking across the parking lot. Startled at first, but then it was just hilarious. Members of the Owensboro Chamber of Commerce spent Wednesday traveling [...]
