After witnessing the Patriots dismantle the Vikings at TCF Bank Stadium, Tony and I were looking for a place to grab lunch on the way back to Duluth. When he found out that I had never had White Castle, he insisted we stopped at one of the Twin Cities White Castle locations for lunch.

Gone are the days of simply imagining you see a face in your toast - now you can buy a toaster that makes it easy to burn any face you'd like into the side of your bread.

Jeanne and I paid a visit to the farm of one of our coworkers over the weekend, giving us the chance to help out with chores. In the final installment, I feed the calves and we wrap up our farm outing.

Jeanne Ryan and Nick Cooper from MIX 108 head to a farm south of the Duluth area where Jeanne got to try her hand at farm chores for the first time ever.

Plenty of unique people pay visits to the MIX 108 studios (and I'm not just talking about the station staff). Our latest notable visitor is a bear we've decided to adopt as our own and have affectionately called "Captain Red Bear".

Like many workplaces around the country, a group of us here at the radio station formed a fantasy football league to see who has the most elite fantasy football mind. B105 afternoon personality David Drew was crowned the winner; and being the pranksters we are, a check or stack of cash wouldn't work.

Last week, while filling in for Jeanne on the morning show, Laura challenged me to grow a Duck Dynasty beard. Since then, I've let the facial hair grow in my ongoing #cooperbeard campaign - but I decided to show what the entire MIX staff would look like if we went "Duck Dynasty" style with facial hair.

The Arrowhead Home and Builders show has gone to the birds, literally. Parakeet Landing is another fun family exhibit at the DECC this week, where over 200 parakeets are waiting for you to visit and feed them. I had the chance to get up close and personal with the birds to give you a taste of what to expect if you are thinking about visiting the exhibit.
