Lies, lies and more lies! Co-host, Mike Ford, and I tell Tall Alaska Tales as we prepare for our Big Alaska Show Tall Alaska Tale Off. That's where you tell the tale - we're bored with ours! And here's a little spoiler alert ... we'll have prizes! (That we're still eligible to win!)

Plus, we threw in a clip from the week before with Chad Carpenter, hence this week our sign was given priority! Check out our podcast and have some fun!

Chad's career is closing in on 35 years and going strong - and we're laughing with him all the way! Check out the fun podcast!
