It’s a "blah, blah, blah" Friday in the Red River Valley, and hosts Kevin Flynn and Alex Taylor are navigating a bizarre news cycle that feels more like an X-Files script than reality. From the "slap in the face" weather shift to major national security threats, the duo dives into the stories the mainstream media is too afraid to touch.
The team covers the alarming arrest of a Chinese researcher smuggling deadly bacteria into the Midwest hidden in women's underwear, the mysterious disappearance of high-level U.S. nuclear and space scientists, and the economic "hemorrhaging" of New York City as Wall Street titans flee for the South. Plus, an update on the partial government shutdown’s impact on border security and a look ahead to a massive weekend of NHL and NBA playoffs.
