I always make fun of Dave Spencer anytime he blogs about gout, his colonoscopy or any other ailment that big hypochondriac thinks he has.  But today, I am having surgery to repair an inguinal hernia.  Now, I am not going to lie.  I am a horrible patient.  I got this thing a year ago when I flew to Fort Lauderdale for a cruise.  Apparently my suitcase weighed about 400 pounds and it caused all my m

The WBKR Road War is coming up Saturday, October 20th.  Each year, hundreds turn out for our Halloween-themed "amazing race" across town in hopes they can claim the grand prize of one thousand dollars!  And, each year, some folks wanna know . . . "What the heck is The WBKR Road War?"  So, Jaclyn and I decided that we would again film an instructional video.  We grabbed clues fr

Last weekend, the City of Owensboro unveiled the all-new Smothers Park downtown!  And thousands of people flocked to Veteran's Boulevard to check out the new riverfront at Friday After Five and Saturday during the Owensboro Air Show.  Dave Spencer and I were there overgrand-opening weekend as well, broadcasting live and chatting with folks about the exciting downtown improvements.  But, it didn't

His name is Michael Beasley. And we here at WBKR are huge fans. Mike has helped us all relax in a most unusual way. Of course, to Mike, there's nothing unusual about it.

Completely by accident, our digital manager--Ashley, Chad, and myself were all in close proximity to one another in the lobby today. To say that what you're seeing below was noticeable would be a glaring understatement.

After reading this charming story from our friends at tasteofcountry.com, I thought I wonder who'd play Chad or me in a  movie. They quoted Carrie as saying, in a recent interview with KO Video, Underwood said that if she could choose one actress to play her role in a biopic, it would be Reese Witherspoon.

Jaclyn is insane.  She habitually overpacks for trips and last night was no exception.  While I arrived at Gaylord Opryland Resort with one duffle, Jaclyn had to hire a pack mule to transport her bags from the parking lot to her room in the Delta.  So, once she got situated in her room, we raided it with a video camera to show you guys the ridiculous amount of clothing she brought for a ONE NIGHT

On Tuesday, WBKR got a jump start on the 2012 CMA Music Festival by heading down to Nashville for The Grand Ole Opry's annual Opry Plaza Party.  As it is every year during our broadcast, Carrie Underwood's official Fan Club Party was going on inside and hundreds of devoted Carrie fans were there for a special meet-and-greet and private concert performance.  After the party ended, those fans storme

The WBKR Water War is THIS Saturday at Diamond Lake Campground and Resort.  We're pitting a field of contestants against each other in WAR, the classic card game with a twist!  That's right.  We play with big cups of water.  You win your hand, you stay dry...

YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!  When we're down in Nashville for our annual CMA Music Festival, we always meet some characters.  People LOVE their country music and they fly in from all over the world to be a part of "Fan Fair."  They all have stories, their favorite stars and their favorite keepsake souvenirs.  But we have NEVER seen a possession as prized as the handmade quilt owned by Mary fro

Moon here. When I perused this article on theFW.com, I couldn't believe Chad's beloved Rhonda was not only among the "Most Dangerous Cars in America", it was #1 with a bullet! Here is the article and pictures. Given modern engineering, design and manufacturing, most drivers probably assume that new cars are inherently safe. But, according to a study by the nonprofit group Insurance Inst

Moon here. My morning show pardner, Chad Benefield is looney! He would actually like to drive right into a raging tornado! No kidding. And, our morning buddy Jimmy Parrott says he wants to go with him.
