What's up, Braski, it's Sharkansas, stinkiest fish in the Wapsi. I love to disc golf while listening to KRNA on my Radio Pup App. Sometimes when I hear Incubus while at Legion Park in Marion, the plastic flies straighter. Don't deny the S.C.I.E.N.C.E. of the trajectory. Been doing this KRNA radio thing on and off for a decade and a half and couldn't be happier that it's being done here in Cedar Rapids. OK...San Diego would make me happier, but it would take longer to drive through traffic jams to get to the disc course discourse. Scenery would be better though. Come to think of it...does Townsquare Media serve California?

Well, schute! That was good! My KRNA Beer Tour stop at Parlor City Friday was all about Deschutes Beer. Made deliciously in Bend, OR, this beer was under the microscope with a couple of Johnson Brothers reps. Adam and Jaime work for that company and were the experts during my live broadcast...

“Oh My God It’s a Mirage & I’m Tellin’ Y’all It’s Sabotage” [FACIAL HAIR VIDEO]
I asked all the straight women and gay guys in our building today about facial hair. "Do you like the trend of millenials growning big ZZ Top beards?" Most of them thought it was a little overdone. When the NBC sports guy said NHL players should stop the playoff facial hair tradition to become more marketable, I thought it was a little overdone...
