Kick off your Friday with Kevin Flynn, Alex Taylor, and Dino the weather expert as they navigate a chaotic morning in the Red River Valley. The team breaks down the latest developments in Operation Epic Fury, including the Navy’s mission to escort oil tankers and the strategic moves to stabilize gas prices.
Beyond the headlines, the crew gets personal. Kevin recounts a hilarious (and terrifying) childhood shoplifting story involving a stolen boot full of candy bars and a "scared straight" ride home in a squad car. Meanwhile, Dino tracks a looming winter storm set to dump significant snow on Southern Minnesota while the local area braces for an icy weekend. We also dive into the "Trump Derangement Syndrome" viral street interviews and debate the merits of modern-day shoplifting "studies."
