Rob Hunter did well helping a suicidal veteran

Rob Hunter did something great on Wednesday. We have covered the VA scandal in great detail over the past few months. We have spoken with the major players in D.C. and have taken our listeners inside the VA by interviewing those that have intimate knowledge of the system. But that is all it has been: […]

Shark bowfishing is a thing? Sign me up!f

SHARK! Wait! I’ve often sung the praises of an activity that combines two of my passions, bowhunting and fishing. Yes, bowfishing. But I had no clue that a third passion of mine had entered the game — SHARKS! Apparently shark bowfishing is possible and quite popular. Here’s a scary thought for all of the helicopter […]

Nerd alert! ‘Star Wars’ bloopers video is here to rescue us!

I’m going to say it: I am a nerd. I am an unapologetic “Star Wars” fan, so much so that the highlight of our four-day Disney vacation was building a 6- foot Darth Maul light saber with my son. So you could imagine my unbridled glee when the new viral video hit my laptop. Yes, […]
