Yes, she dances, yes she doesn't wear clothes and, no, she doesn't dance to Oakie From Muskogee. This week we got to talk with Gurl Haggard about her career on the stage. How did she get there?

Where do broken hearts go? Where did your luggage go? If you ever returned from vacation down one banana hammock and a beaten up John Grisham book, it's probably with this week's guest. We talked with Matt Owens from the Unclaimed Baggage Center. They buy up lost baggage from airlines and other travel companies and resell the contents. What's the weirdest thing they've ever found in a suitcase? Have any celebrities lost their Samsonite? And are anything they've found cursed? We get to the bottom of it all.

Collette V Smith is one of a kind. First as a professional football player for the New York Sharks where she made the team in 2011 at age 42 and then coaching for the Jets. Collette great up with a love for the game, but it was her knowledge and skills at motivating players that made her the first African American woman coach in the NFL.

Collette is now a motivational speaker and, after listening to our talk, we were ready to go take the field. For more information on Collette, check out her website.

Hey! Ho! Let's Go!

This week we talk with another rock great- Richie Ramone. Richie made a mark in the band by bringing in great songs (and being the first person to sing on a Ramones record besides Joey). We talked about Richie's time with the band, what other musical adventures he's been on, where he's headed next and what Joey & Johnny really were like.

Mini golf- it's a sport one can learn in minutes, but not master until decades later. Maybe watching the PGA is fun, but can you play on the same course as those clowns? No, you can't. But you can play the Mossy Creek course in Jefferson City, TN.

We talked with Kyle Cutshaw, the owner and general manager of Mossy Creek, who will be hosting the Tennesee Open, August 29th.

And if that wasn't enough, we talked with professional mini golfer Danny Baddeley. Both of them gave us an inside look at the sport whose windmills have waylaid many a man.

For more information on Mossy Creek, check them out at their website and you can follow and cheer on Danny on Twitter. (For more information on the USPMGA, you can check out their website or follow them on Twitter.)

Everyone has fun memories of the local amusement park that they went to every summer growing up. Action Park, in Vernon, NJ is memory for many people. And what is that memory of? Dangerous rides, frequent injuries and even a couple of deaths.

Action Park, "Where you control the action," was known by many nicknames, Class Action Park, Traction Park, Accident Park, but whatever you call it, you never forget it.

Andy Mulvihill, son of Action Park's creator, Gene Mulvihill has written a new book about his memories of not only the park, but also how it came to be. Action Park was like no other place and, if the lawyers have their way, will never be again.

Andy's book "Action Park: Fast Times, Wild Rides and the Untold Story of America's Most Dangerous Amusement Park," is available from Penguin Books and wherever you order books.

Cornhole is sweeping the nation. And don't just believe us. Believe ESPN, who are devoting almost 30 hours of time to the sport this week. We sat down with American Cornhole League Commissioner Stacey Moore to talk about how this sport went pro, how good you have to be to go pro and why Roger Goodell isn't taking his calls... just yet.
