Ryan asked Dave about his martial arts experience (Dave is a 4th degree black belt in Taekwondo). Dave said he got into it back when he was 12 years old and started playing guitar at 14.

6 Things in Movies that Make Zero Sense

2 weeks ago | wcsx.com | Donielle Flynn

Who’s ready to check out some movies? Getty ImagesSince in the '80s, it seemed like every action film featured a scene where the lead character is walking away (usually with sunglasses on) as a huge explosion goes off behind them.

Not worried any debris is flying at you? Nothing to see there?

Non-participating adult caregivers do not have to pay admission.

Chances are good your at least familiar with the tulip festival in Holland... either Michigan, Denmark, or both. Denmark's largest tulip festival actually happens in Gavnø, not Holland, but still... Denmark is known for tulips.
