But let's face it, working for free can be boring. Help us compile a list of the coolest, funnest, most meaningful volunteering opportunities in the Tri-Cities.

Woody Missed the Seattle Seahawks Victory Because He Was on a Date… at the Grocery Store [POLL][SURVEY]

Woody — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 16:55:48 +0000

I meant to watch the Seahawks game, but I was in Winco with my wife, and then somehow I ended up at Fred Myer’s. It’s embarrassing to admit you went to the store on a date, but it happens all the time to everyone I know. Will you admit to it? What’s the most embarrassing [...]

Should We Charter a 'Fan Bus' to an Awesome Sounders FC Game in Seattle?

Ryan Etherington — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 14:00:02 +0000

We’re thinking of putting together a group of VIPs who get to take a fan bus to a Sounders game. Would you want to get in on it? Considering it costs nearly $200 to drive to Seattle and back by yourself, how much would you be willing to spend to have someone else drive while you party with other Sounders fans? Answer the question below honestly so we can determine if this is something worth pursuing:

Do You Play Board Games After Thanksgiving Dinner?

Stacy Lee — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 16:56:37 +0000

A new survey says 56 percent of Americans play board games after Thanksgiving. 64 percent said they watch football (I wonder how many watch football while playing board games). But popular culture hardly ever talks about the board games. What do you do? “Scrabble” is a popular one. Kids love “Monopoly.” “Settlers of Catan” is [...]

Tell Us Your Bat Stories! – Greg & Woody Are Curious

Woody — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 16:04:00 +0000

This morning we were telling bat stories. Woody shared how his radio station in Alaska had bats living in the awnings for one month each year.

Greg told about a lie he was told as a kid that if he threw a ball of tinfoil at a bat hanging near a street lamp it would swoop down to grab it and accidentally crash into the ground

What Are Ghosts? – Greg & Woody Want to Know

Greg DeLange — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 14:50:39 +0000

In the studio this Halloween morning we were wondering what ghosts are — or rather what YOU think ghosts are. Some people say they’re friendly, some say they’re Satan’s minions. Are they normal people who haven’t “passed on” or are they non-human ghouls? If a house or hotel is haunted, should you go explore and [...]

What's the Most Embarrassing Way You've Burned Yourself?

Greg DeLange — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 14:14:58 +0000

I think every woman has burned her ear with a curling iron. In high school, I knew a kid who tried to blow fire by putting cigarette fluid in his mouth and spitting at a match. He had a patch on his cheek for a month! Often when we burn ourselves we'd rather not talk about it because we might as well have burned a big "L" in our forehead: LOSER!

It's National Face Your Fears Day! – What Are You Afraid Of? [POLL]

Greg DeLange — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 14:20:16 +0000

Paul is afraid of scary movies and Satan! I get panicky around water (I swim well, but it makes me nervous). So Paul and I are going to get my leaky pontoon and float the river while watching "Jaws."

Did you know Paul took flying lessons to overcome a fear of flying? That's a

It's Columbus Day today and we want you to celebrate by doing some exploring this week! Here are five places around the Tri-Cities that are very cool but people who've lived here their entire lives have sometimes never been.

Will Snooki Do a Bellyflop? – Greg's Looking Forward to Celebrities Diving on Reality TV!

Greg DeLange — Mon, 08 Oct 2012 14:15:49 +0000

If you were listening this morning around 7 a.m. you heard me talk about a new reality show in the works from ABC. It's supposed to be called, "Celebrity Splash" and is based on a show in the Netherlands where celebrities compete by doing complicated high dives -- like in the Olympics! It's supposed to be similar to 'Dancing With The Stars' only with dives into a pool.

Are You a Cheapskate?

Big Bear — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 22:30:27 +0000
