Chris, did you introduce the Easter Bunny to your kids? If so, who is the “Easter Bunny” in your family. If not, why not?

Jason, Today had the most tornado’s in history. We are getting into severe weather season, especially with all of the severe weather going on in the deep south, what is the most severe weather you have encountered?

Chris, The Royal wedding is on Friday and I like to see different wedding traditions. Austin can be weird, what is the weirdest wedding tradition you have seen?

Jason and Chris, Did you know Pope John Paul 2 will be listed in the Guiness Book of Records.
- “During his pontificate, John Paul II, quickly broke all the records set by his predecessors. just a few months after being elected Pope, he was nicknamed Hurricane Wojtyla. He visited 129 countries. He made 104 trips abroad and another 146 within Italy. He traveled over 1,200,000 kilometers, which is more than three times the distance from Earth to the Moon or the equivalent of going around the world 30 times.”
- Did you ever have an opportunity to see him in person?
