Tell Dad Thanks While You Can

Greg Tillotson — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 14:42:42 +0000

Father’s day is coming this weekend. Not sure how you honor your Dad, but I hope you at least make that phone call or send a card. I wish I could do the same.

I lost my Dad at a young age. I was 22 days short of my 11th birthday when my father was killed in a car accident in Canada

Know a World Record Holder?

Greg Tillotson — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 14:02:49 +0000

Proving that some people don’t have enough on their “To do” list…here’s the You Tube video we talked about on the K-Bear Morning Show today. This is Bryan Bednarek who just set the clapping record for one minute. He claims that he clapped 802 times in one minute, surpassing the old record of 721 times. [...]

Can I Get Fries With That?

Greg Tillotson — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 13:28:35 +0000

I read an interesting article over the weekend about French fries…I know real deep, thought provoking reading. But the article was in US News & World Report, so that counts for something right? The article that I read compared food sidekicks to superhero sidekicks. The correlations made were quite humorous. Although I have to argue [...]

Greg Updates His Garden

Greg Tillotson — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 01:22:34 +0000

A couple of weeks ago I shared pictures of our garden. Yes, we live in an apartment. And yes it’s on the second floor. But If I have learned one thing from everything that has life has dealt us in the last 6 months, make lemonade! So we started with a pot of pre-arranged flowers. [...]

Who Says There's Nothing To Do…

Greg Tillotson — Fri, 07 Jun 2013 12:52:45 +0000

It’s a big weekend around my house… Today is the day for the third injection into my neck. If you’ve been following along at home, you know that the C5 and C6 discs in my next are damaged. The original plan was two injections with a needle that reaches from here to Laurel. I guess [...]

Don't Text & Drive Like This!

Greg Tillotson — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 12:13:09 +0000

It’s hard to believe what lengths some people will go to for “fame”. Here’s the full video I was talking about on the K-Bear Morning Show today. Amazing that this guy can stay on the hood of the car. I also find it amazing that he keeps his concentration while the car zips along at [...]

Now This is Talent!

Greg Tillotson — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 13:44:23 +0000

I am not a big fan of any of the talent shows….From American Idol to the Voice, X Factor and America’s Got Talent. I don’t go out of my way to make them “must see” TV. But as I said on the K-Bear Morning Show today, there is always an exception… But last night while [...]

The Heart & Soul Run Is Coming Closer

Greg Tillotson — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 16:50:53 +0000

The clock is ticking for the start of 34th Annual Heart & Soul run. Hard to believe it is almost June 15th, the when thousands of runners and walkers will be gathering at St. Vincent Healthcare to take part in the 2 mile walk, or either the 5 or 10K runs. No matter which event you [...]

Here's One For the Saturday Night Social Calendar

Greg Tillotson — Tue, 28 May 2013 14:50:43 +0000

If you missed the K-Bear Morning Show today, you missed Lisa Olmstead stopping by to talk about the event they have this weekend at the Western Heritage Center. This Saturday night at 7 she invited us to enjoy a “swank” evening packed with guilty pleasures to benefit the kids. Lisa called it an ‘Adult evening [...]

Heading Home To See My What?

Greg Tillotson — Tue, 28 May 2013 13:47:11 +0000

I am not the world’s best flyer. I do fine once the plane is in the air. But it’s the anticipation of the flight that always gets to me. And it’s silly too. I have been flying for years. But that’s not what this blog is about. We’re taking off tonight for a short trip [...]

Montana Monsoons

Greg Tillotson — Mon, 27 May 2013 22:26:57 +0000

Wow! What a pair of storms to end the three day weekend! Sunday evening we were treated to quite a hail storm. And along with it came a few tornado warnings. I have lived in several parts of the United States, but this was the first time in my broadcast career that I have ever [...]

She's Back…And She Can Still Blink!

Greg Tillotson — Mon, 27 May 2013 12:44:36 +0000

When I was a kid, there was one re-run I loved to watch. Especially when I was in my, uh -formative years between 10 and 13. Wishes can come true….at least they did at the Life Ball 2013 in Vienna, Austria on Saturday night. Former I Dream of Jeannie star Barbara Eden donned that famous [...]

Day Trippin'

Greg Tillotson — Sun, 26 May 2013 18:28:11 +0000

Not that I am employed by the Sheridan Chamber of Commerce or anything – but I have to say, for a quick “get outta town” trip, Sheridan, Wyoming fits the bill nicely. I was honestly surprised at how easy it was to get there. And surprised at how close Sheridan actually is in proximity to [...]

Who Wants Joan Jett Tickets?

Greg Tillotson — Thu, 23 May 2013 18:31:24 +0000

I was rooting around my desk after getting off the air today and low and behold there was one last pair of Joan Jett tickets for the show in Sheridan on Saturday. Wanna go? Just listen to the K-Bear Morning show tomorrow (Friday) morning at 7:40. We’ll have a little bit of fun and see [...]

Theater Anyone?

Greg Tillotson — Thu, 23 May 2013 15:54:07 +0000

If you were listening to the K-Bear Morning show Thursday you heard Lynn from the Venture Theater in with me. Besides talking about the new arrangements they have with the Rim Rock Opera, we also talked about the new play. Starting Friday night and running for the next three consecutive weekends the NOVA Center for [...]

Remember to Click It Before You Travel

Greg Tillotson — Thu, 23 May 2013 12:58:13 +0000

Another Memorial Day is upon us…it signals the unofficial start of summer and with that comes the summer travel season. Be aware that Montana law enforcement will be joining in on a Nationwide program over the next few weeks – the Click it, Don’t Risk It campaign. This program urges us all to click that [...]

If Only Soccer Was This Fun All the Time

Greg Tillotson — Tue, 21 May 2013 16:03:19 +0000

Here’s the video we talked about this morning on the K-Bear Morning Show…. Having a grandson that is almost four and being a former soccer player, this video really warmed my heart when I saw it. I particularly like when the boy falls about 5 yards from the goal line and the crowd gasps…I also love [...]

My Name Is Greg and I Have a Problem…

Greg Tillotson — Sun, 19 May 2013 17:33:24 +0000

Full disclosure time. True Confession time. My name is Greg and I am a coupon clipper. I am the person you hate in the checkout line. I am the guy who has 17 coupons and insists the checker credit every one of them. Why else would I spend my time combing through the paper on [...]

Embarrassing Moments Could Soon Win You Money

Greg Tillotson — Wed, 15 May 2013 13:37:51 +0000

Here’s the video we talked about this morning on the K-Bear morning show…As I said sometimes you gotta just sing and dance! And these people caught on camera are proof positive of it. Have you ever been caught on tape or film doing something goofy? Coming soon we are going to ask you to share [...]

Do You Believe In Ghosts

Greg Tillotson — Mon, 13 May 2013 15:08:00 +0000

As I blogged about yesterday, my wife and I paid a visit to Pictograph State Park yesterday. I can’t believe the amount of people who I talk to who have no idea this place is just a 10 minute drive from downtown Billings. There is so much history waiting to be learned. Of the [...]
