Today on The Need to Know Morning Show, Kevin and Alex bring the heat — and the forecast says literal heat is on the way too! 🌤️ We kick things off with the Great Grocery Giveaway (spoiler: Anthony Rangren missed his chance), salute law enforcement with probation officer Chris Brown, and dive into the tense Middle East ceasefire led by Trump. 🕊️
There’s real heart in this episode too — the team shares their night at the Ronald McDonald House, cooking for families with kids undergoing treatment. Plus, we talk cleanup efforts from the weekend storms (chainsaws encouraged), the NBA Draft drama, and what not to do during fireworks season.
Get your dose of news, weather, memes, and patriotism — all with that signature Flag Family flavor. 🇺🇸
