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?

Rainy Day Iowa People: Some Things to do Today that don’t involve Cleaning Supplies & Laundry
Ma Nature is a freaky filly. A 45F rain-soaked Wednesday afternoon on the run-up to Memorial Day Weekend is chilling the eastern half of Iowa. I literally heard all three morning TV news teams in this market advise citizens to stay indoors today and get some housework done if at all possible...
My Trip to See Late Night with David Letterman [VIDEO]
David Letterman's 3+ decade run in late night comes to an end tonight. I will really, really miss Dave. He's always been my favorite, in my favorite TV genre. I'm a big fan of other present day talkers too, like The Jimmys, Conan, Seth, Corden, etc...

Say this really fast...
"Iowa. Idaho. Ohio."
Now, try it faster.

Hey, City of Cedar Rapids: Take Down the Speed Cameras or Take a Trip to Court
