shot on-location in some of kirk's favorite grand rapids spots: riverside park, calder plaza, the blue bridge, ah-nab-awen park, and rosa parks circle. in the first episode of its kind, kirk flips his typical routine on its ear and creates the soundtrack first and writes second. what would the outcome be if you were to switch up one of your routines? what's the worst that can happen?

hit us up on social media and let us know what you switched up and what came of the forced spontaneity.

Part 2 of 2. Let's pick up where we left off: with Bobby and his 'Outlaw Platoon' having survived being trapped under heavy enemy fire with minimal ammo and aerial support still miles away. We’ll move into the difficult battle that awaits so many veterans after they return. As if we needed any more proof that Bobby is a brave mamma jamma, he does it yet again with his open and candid discussion on #mentalhealth and #veteransuicide. Finally, Bobby talks about his young daughter's brave battle with pediatric cancer #wilmstumor, which proved that Lily has some Outlaw in her, as well.

Part 2 of a two-part podcast docuseries about a group of old friends on their annual ski trip at Schuss Mountain in Bellaire, MI. New father Dan misses his newborn son and puts off calling his wife. Andy "Red" LaLonde vows to stay up later than everybody else. Previously MIA Michael P. Gorzenski gets the Robert Stack treatment before joining forces with his friend Phil in a 1920's-esque comedy bit that would send Laurel & Hardy themselves into a bout of hilarity.

Can one's eyes REALLY blink at different times? Does Will prefer EDM with the wubs or EDM with mind-baffling industrial mechanism sounds? All this and more in THE SKI TRIP Pt. 2.

Music by Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Of the Trees, Mumford & Sons. Theme by HILTON.
