It’s Friday on the Flag!
Kevin and Alex kick off the weekend with a lightning-fast rundown of Fargo weather, Fourth of July plans, and the hottest headlines — including the bizarre and bold “Alligator Alcatraz” migrant facility plan in Florida. They also check in on NBA/NHL draft action, dish out big opinions on immigration policy, and give away another shot at $10,000 in groceries. Plus, Bridgette Readel drops by with updates from farm country (and why tomato prices are spiking just in time for BBQ season 🍅).
Whether you're heading to the lake, prepping the grill, or just bracing for tonight’s hail, this show has everything you need to know — and a few laughs along the way.
Weather. Sports. Politics. Alligators. Welcome to North Dakota’s most unpredictable morning show.
