Weekend Warrior with Dr. Robert Klapper

In sports, art, surgery and food.

The surprising 'new way' to treat torn ACLs...

Dr. Klapper takes calls from listeners for some classic "Klapper Vision". In music we find woodworking in the creation of drumsticks. And in food we discover woodworking through the creation of chopsticks. Kip Rutto and his wife Mindy join Dr. Klapper as his guests to discuss his company that produces baseball bats. They speak to the creation of the baseball bats that are carved out of wood. Kip discusses the different parts of the bat and how that relates to its use. Mindy speaks about how she and Kip met, wed, and created this company Rutto Bats.

Dr. Klapper starts off the show by discussing his surgeries this week and then he starts off this week's topic of woodworking. Doc brings up a sports example of Donald Takayama and how he was a great surfboard creator. Wood becomes an extension of your body. In music, this is exemplified in drumsticks and exemplified in food through chopsticks. Doc talks about how Jimi Hendrix and Ringo Starr are left-handed musicians and how this affects their musical sound through their guitar and drumsticks (which are both carved out of wood). Doc takes calls from listeners to bestow them with come classic "Klapper Vision".
