Hear all that, and much more from the legendary Bill Kurtis, on this new episode of LIVE FROM MY OFFICE.

Dave Barry is one of the funniest people in all of history so I wanted to share with you his most recent appearance on the podcast from back in December. We talked Christmas gifts and his new memoir... then I almost talk him out of writing the memoir. That's what friends are for!

If you love golf you're well aware of the US OPEN being underway at Oakmont.

If you aren't that interested know that this is the hardest of the Majors and any sports fan should enjoy the ride.

If you hate golf- this golf course will torture the world's best players- who will play horribly at times and you might enjoy that.
