What in the name of Reggie the dandelion-eating bear just happened on HQ Trivia? Matt Richards telling viewers to hold on to their buttholes? Anna Roisman calling viewers “bitches”?

The Jacksonville Shrimp home opener is Wednesday, April 11 and is followed by four games against the Mobile BayBears. But I don’t know the […]
Every Monday, Richie Evans introduces you to a local band/musician. You may already be a fan—in which case, great—maybe you’ll learn something you didn’t know about them.
