It’s hump day on The Need to Know Morning Show and Kevin & Alex are back with a whirlwind Wednesday episode packed with sports buzz, political zingers, weather watch, and a few good laughs. Kevin opens the show mid-bagel bite (0:00) and the duo dive into everything from record-setting heat and upcoming thunderstorms (1:22), to whether the deer are ruining your hostas (36:00).
They chat about Trump’s latest Middle East visit (21:00), John Kennedy’s best one-liners (16:30), and the Wolves and Pacers crushing it in the playoffs (27:00). Plus, it’s Alex’s birthday (44:30) — and Don Kinzler pops in with homegrown flowers and gardening tips to celebrate.
Whether you're into fertilizer facts or ferocious NBA playoff breakdowns, this episode has something for everyone — with plenty of North Dakota flavor.
