Shiftheads - Good News-ish? The Slap Sport Where Competitors Get Knocked Out Cold

Shiftheads - Good News-ish? The Slap Sport Where Competitors Get Knocked Out Cold

Competitors in power slapping get hit hard enough to lose consciousness, and a Kitchener woman just became the sport's first women's flyweight champion. From there, a goat that helped fight a Colorado wildfire gets its own merchandise line, and Regina picks up a new Elvis impersonator.

The champion's own words after her win, that she's still in shock, land differently once you hear how the sport actually works. The wildfire story follows Goldie the goat and where the proceeds from the new merchandise go. Regina's impersonator scene keeps growing, and this is the latest name to know.

Also on deck: the best souvenirs to bring home from a trip, according to callers, from bar t-shirts to city-branded mugs to spices.

Topics: power slapping champion, Colorado wildfire goat, Regina Elvis impersonator, good news stories, travel souvenirs
