This story originally appeared on RealTime/STL.
Comedian Kurt Braunohler kicked off his Jet Ski for goats campaign Mississippi River journey over the weekend, which included a stop in St. Louis.
To promote his fundraiser, which will buy goats and chickens for families in Africa, Braunohler is riding a Jet Ski down the Mississippi River from Chicago to New Orleans, and documenting the trip on social media using the hashtag #GetWet4Goats.
Braunohler and Jon Daly stopped Saturday at Big Daddy’s on the Landing to tell a few jokes and pose for photos.

They also rode the Jet Ski under the Arch (thanks to some help from about 30 fans).
