We've all heard the saying, whether from Alan Jackson's hit song or from your coworker who is just excited to get home for the weekend "it's five o' clock somewhere." It's basically etched in the fabric of our American culture at this point. What if though, the hour hand on the clock RESTRICTED your freedom, instead of granting it? For people under 18 in England, that scenario might just be closer to the truth than you'd think.

History is an interesting topic, especially when it concerns where you grew up. In this episode, Charles Reece (virtually) sits down to tell us all about his adventures of research through the Harris-Chavis family line who were prominent in Wilkes County throughout the late 17 and early 1800's for another installment of the Hometown History series. It's going to be a lot of fun.

Shadow boxing is a fairly popular exercise - it helps your cardio, speed, explosiveness and endurance. Actual boxing does all those things except an extra drawback is added to the mix, you run the risk of being hit back, what if these two trains on the same track collided? This week, we seek to answer that very question.

Bees, Wasps, Hornets, Yellow Jackets and even the Sweat Bee are all the scourges of summertime and as we enter those heralded months of fun in the sun, there's one question on our minds - are bees fish? It doesn't make a lot of sense when you say it out loud because the obvious answer is "NO" but the California court system might just have evidence to change your mind.
