On this midweek edition of the Need to Know Morning Show, Kevin and Alex kick things off with a bittersweet tribute to beloved actor George Wendt (aka Norm from Cheers), who has sadly passed away at 76. Amid cloudy skies and drizzle, the mood lightens as they share weather forecasts with Dean, discuss Memorial Day weekend plans, and prepare for a hopeful stretch of sunshine. 🌤️
The show covers everything from presidential politics — including pointed commentary on Biden's cognitive decline and Trump's international moves — to sharp-witted banter about John Kennedy and Marco Rubio’s verbal zingers.
Meanwhile, it’s a mixed bag on the sports front: the Timberwolves take a beating, Twins face rain delays, and hockey playoffs heat up. The team also celebrates National Strawberries and Cream Day, Waitstaff Day, and reminisces about Cheers — bringing in a dose of nostalgia and laughter.
Finally, Ag expert Bridget Riedel and weather whiz Dean Wysocki round out the episode with updates on agriculture, drought recovery, and everything you didn’t know you needed to know about cow ponds, herbicides, and snow in May (yep, really).
