Today is National Donut day, and who better to welcome in one of the greatest days of the year than Mitch Hedberg and his questions about donuts...

Mitch Hedberg had one simple question when it comes to buying donuts, why do they give you a receipt?

The day was created back in 1938 to honor World War I's Donut Lassies. The women volunteered with the Salvation Army to help boost soldier morale, and one of the ways they did that was to dish up donuts to soldiers using the limited resources at hand.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
