  It’s BANANA TIME! 07.08.2026 19mnt

  The Savannah Bananas are a circus not a baseball team, according to Chad. He’s just not into the goofiness- he asks why adults are going. Kids only. Yet, life can be a bit too serious so maybe he’s changing his tune. This leads into Chad’s weekend plans of venturing to Duluth this weekend to see Jerry Seinfeld. Don’t worry the golf clubs are in the car just in case. He asks WCCO listeners if they could see any comedian alive or dead, who would it be? Mitch Hedberg and some other hometowners came up.

  Talking with Andy Luger about when and where to step back and let the process plays out 07.08.2026 20mnt

  First and foremost, Andy Luger wants the facts. In regards to police Chief Axel Henry, he has put himself out there in a very large and public way. The guys have some strong opinions about that. Then Andy gives Todd Blanche a HARD NO. Dare we say we’d take Richard Nixon over this administration. Then Andy weighs in on a topic that really doesn’t mean anything to him at all - E-Bikes. Chad on the other hand…he’s bothered. Andy’s more bothered with road construction. Now that’s something we all can get behind, no matter our political allegiance.
