It’s a jam-packed Tuesday morning on The Need to Know Show! Kevin and Alex kick things off with weather, humor, and a healthy dose of politics before diving into Vikings preseason chatter, community events, and even a bizarre story about people paying to have their legs broken to get taller.
Special guest Mariah Kirschbaum joins to talk about Oli’s Ride, a motorcycle fundraiser for hospice, reminding us of the importance of community and compassion. In between, we get everything from Taylor Swift shout-outs to agricultural warnings about poisonous plants, plus the latest on Trump, Ukraine, and the Vikings.
If you’re here for laughs, local flavor, and a few “did they really just say that?” moments—this episode’s for you.
