Finally... the Twins not only won a playoff game, but actually took a post-season series! Since he called it on this show months ago, the one and only Brad Carlson (The Closer on am1280) had to come on and walk through this season with us. We also take a look at the Twins offseason in preparation for next season, including possible trades and free agent pickups. Let us know your opinions!

This week we sit down with our long time friend (and former Crystal Councilmember), Jeff Kolb, for his astute political analysis. We dismantle the 2022 election. What happened? Why? What can we learn from it going into 2024? Is there a correlation between the polling and the confusion we saw in the end results? We also discuss one of the most important intangibles in politics… authenticity. There is so little of it, but yet most people really yearn for it. We wrap up with a hard look at 2024 and whether or not there’s any hope for the future in MN politics, and really, life as we know...

We are pleased to welcome Brad Carlson “The Closer” from am 1280 The Patriot. Every time he’s on the show, you are assured of an in depth analysis of some facet of the sports world. This week it’s all Vikings … the Uncle Burnsie years. Jerry Burns was the colorful head coach of the Vikings from ‘86-91. They started out as a talented team with the likes of Tommy Kramer, Anthony Carter, Chris Doleman, and Joey Browner. There were lots of ups and downs, an NFC championship game (with a dropped winning pass), and the worst trade in all of sports history. The Vikings are a team that...

Well, well, well... the MN Legislature and Governor Walz have sure been busy since January. Walz keeps referring to this "mandate" Democrats have to get things done. You mean the one vote majority in the senate and six seats in the house? Yeah, while the Democrats are engaging in a scorched earth policy to cram their radical agenda down everybody's throats, they are leaving half of the state disenfranchised. Our government must be held accountable, but they are acting as if they are in control forever. They have passed the trans refuge law (after an unconstitutional executive order) that...

This week we invite Bill Sankey to the show. Bill has been an electrician for 25 years. We’re told by everyone in the educational system that we have to attend a 4 year university in order to be something in this world. We need to have people in the trades to make the world go, and the schools haven’t been pushing it, despite the great money people in the trades can make. Not to mention, these little to no debt after school! The Baby Boomers are leaving the trades in droves as they reach the retirement age. We need our young people to get into these jobs in a big way. The issue is that...

You know him, you love him, you keep requesting him… “The Closer” Brad Carlson from 1280am The Patriot is back on the show. If you’ve listened for Brad you know his political acumen, but he has even greater knowledge of baseball, so today we talk some Twins. We’ve talked about ‘87 and ‘91, but we’ve never talked about the lost years (‘93-2000). These were rough years for us Twins fans, but it’s worth discussing. Now remember, the Twins won the World Series in ‘91 and almost won the division in ‘92, save for a 10 game slide at the end of the season… but that’s when...

Today’s podcast, we welcome Dan Hanks to the podcast. Dan is an expert on football and basketball. So yeah, we’re talking Vikes and Wolves, but we’re not stopping there. What moves do the Vikings have to make in the off-season to improve their standing for next year? What’s going to happen to Dalvin Cook and Kirk Cousins? Will there ever be any real hope for the Vikings to bring home a title or are their fans forever to be forlorn? This is our first foray into hoops, and we delve into our personal basketball past and our favorite moments in NBA history. Will the Wolves make the...

Have you noticed that the war drums seem to be beating louder lately? Russia and China are aligning against the west, and Ukraine seems to be the prize... at least that's what we're being led to believe. Things are shifting so fast and we're not being told the truth. Andew and JDB discuss Russian/Soviet history and how things are lining up again, just the way they did way back when. Maybe we can learn from history so we don't repeat it...

We welcome sports expert Nick Anaya back to the podcast, and we’re talking wrestling! Of course we first need to review the Vikings season. What kind of team were they really? There were certainly some issues that need to be addressed. What kind of off-season moves do they need to make to improve next year? How much longer can we wait it out with Kirk Cousins? How is the coming draft looking for the Vikes? Professional wrestling has perfected the art of the pay-per-view event. Fans have huddled around the television for decades to watch Summerslam. So, we’re going to look at our...
info_outlineThis week Andrew sits down with Kevin Roche of www.healthy-skeptic.com.
Kevin has worked in the health care industry for over 50 years in everything from nursing assistant to legal counsel. His blog has focused on various issues in the medical industry until COVID-19 hit, and has not veered from it since.
We’ve dealt with plagues for all of human history. Black Plague, Bubonic Plague, Spanish flu, etc... so why is this one different? It’s the response. The media has been completely irresponsible in the hysteria they have created. Social media has put fuel on the fire. Politicians have taken full advantage of that (at worst) and lacked the backbone to do the right thing (at best).
We have been told so many things by politicians, the CDC, the medical field, and every other person with a pulse regarding what causes this disease, how it spreads, and what the trends mean.
Kevin understands the history of corona viruses and how they attack the body. Things don’t add up between what we’ve been told and what the statistics say.
If you look at the curves, masks didn’t work, staying home didn’t work, and didn’t work. Evidence would say that it’s seasonal, based on heat, light, humidity, etc. If that’s the case, then why won’t people say anything?
Let’s go down the rabbit hole and try to look at the data objectively to see if we can get to some semblance of the truth. We need to get back to life, and we need to do it soon.
