Jimmy Buffet and the Coral Reefer Band are bringing their Songs from St. Somewhere Tour to Klipsch Music Center just outside Indianapolis on Thursday, June 27th. And, here at WBKR, we have your chance to win tickets to the show! Wanna know how?
This is HILARIOUS!! Saturday marked the 2013 Polar Bear Plunge at The Hines Center in Philpot and 200 plungers showed up to jump in the chilly, 22 degree waters of the Hines Center lake. Among them was Kizzy, who joined WBKR's team, Jimmy Parrot's Plungers. The cameras were rolling as Kizzy, decked out in a scuba suit, arm puffers and Korger bags, walked out onto the dock to prepare for her plunge. WATCH!
I have said it multiple times before . . . jumping into a freezing-cold lake is the single WORST idea in history and the single-worst way to raise money for a charity. LOL! But, you know what! We're doing it anyway and we are going to have a blast. :)
I have been trying to get her to take the plunge for years! And now, finally, Kizzy has agreed to help WBKR raise money for Special Olympics Kentucky by taking the 2013 Polar Bear Plunge! It's Saturday, February 9th at The Hines Center in Philpot and, as Kizzy explains, it's going to be COLD!! Listen . . .

We're doing it anyway and we are going to have a blast. :) The 2013 Polar Bear Plunge is coming up Saturday, February 9th at The Hines Center in Owensboro and we are truly going to be "freezin' for a reason." All proceeds from the Plunge benefit Special Olympics Kentucky. Wanna know how crazy this event is? Check out video from last year's Plunge when Jaclyn, Erin Grant and I took it with a couple of brave WBKR listeners!
Here at WBKR, we LOVE Jimmy Parrot and we LOVE bringing him to the studio every year for his annual birthday bash. And today was no exception. Jimmy turned 45 and we celebrated with Wonder Woman, the Mayor of Hawesville and Jimmy's special birthday cake, an anatomically-correct Beth from Dog the Bounty Hunter. Check out the photos!
It has become an annual tradition here on The WBKR Waking Crew and Wednesday is the BIG day! We are gearing up for Jimmy Parrot's big birthday party. Jimmy will be joining us LIVE in the studio Wednesday from 6am to 9 and, as usual, we'll have a bunch of special guests along to help us celebrate. In case you missed last year's festivities, we have included some of the highlights for you to get you ready to party with us this year! LOOK!
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.
WBKR's little buddy, Jimmy Parrot, has gone big time! Saturday, at the Hawesville Christmas Parade, Jimmy served as Grand Marshal, alongside his WBKR Waking Crew buddies, Moose and Tad! I had a hunch I should bring along the trusty video camera and I did. Check out these video highlights. They are a riot!
If you tune into The WBKR Waking Crew each weekday morning, you know exactly who Jimmy Parrot is! He's the guy that calls 'Moose' and 'Tad' at 7:25am each day and pretends to be 14 WFIE news anchor Ann Komis, or a Charlie's Angel, or Wayne Hart! Jimmy has become a b
A couple of years back, Moon and I were dared to eat sardines live on the air. And it didn't go really well. Moon bought a can of sardines that were coated in mustard and they were gnarly! Mine were coated in some kind of olive oil or sesame oil or peanut oil or motor oil! Whatever it was, they were just as bad as Moon's! But, we accepted the challenge, ate the sardines and paid for it the rest of the day. We both smelled like the coast of Maine for about 24 hours. So, we decided that it was time for Jaclyn to face her fears . . . and eat a nasty old sardine!
If you tune into The WBKR Waking Crew, you know that Jimmy Parrot sometimes calls into the show and pretends to be 14 WFIE news anchor, Ann Komis! So, when Jimmy's birthday party rolled around, it only made sense to get him a birthday cake with Ann Komis' face on it! So, I called my friend Lisa Haynes with The Cup Cakery here in Owensboro and she agreed to make it happen! This morning, during Jimmy's big celebration, Lisa came to the WBKR studio with Jimmy's Ann Komis cake!! And Ann called in to join the fun . . .
