Podcast appearances and mentions of Bob Motzko

Episode Summary: Host Scott Hennen dives into a packed Friday edition of "What's On Your Mind," starting with the excitement of the Sioux vs. Gophers hockey series in Grand Forks , which he calls the "Super Bowl of college hockey". Scott and co-host JT discuss the dynamic of cheering for their alma mater's opponent, and Scott reveals a kind gesture from Gophers coach Bob Motzko to former UND coach Brad Barry. They announce the winners of tickets to the games—the new Lego store in Fargo and Hot Spring Spas and Pool Tables Too (Hot Tub Vinny). This leads to the "Feel Good Friday" segment with Vince Webker (Hot Tub Vinny) , who discusses the wellness mission of his company, focused on making wellness a reality. Vince and Scott discuss the life-changing benefits and science behind hot tubs, saunas, and cold plunges. Vince also touches on sports, particularly the Vikings' upcoming game against the Eagles, predicting Carson Wentz will start at quarterback. The conversation shifts to politics, with a full hour scheduled with Senator Kevin Cramer to discuss the government shutdown. Scott shares a theory that the shutdown is tied to the timing of the "No Kings Rally" and plays a clip of Charlie Kirk debating a student on whether the Republican Party is controlled by billionaires, with Kirk arguing the wealthiest counties and many billionaires are actually on the left. Later, Scott interviews Dean Kyle Armitage of NDSCS Career and Technical Education about the value of trade careers—like HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and culinary —and sponsorship programs with companies like Butler Machinery that help students work, get paid, and avoid loans. Finally, Senator Kevin Cramer joins the show to discuss the government shutdown , his desire to expose bureaucracy , the constitutional requirement for Congress to be paid , and answers listener questions on everything from congressional decorum to foreign aid, specifically mentioning a currency swap with Venezuela.   Standout Moments (Approximate Timestamps): 0:01: Scott Hennen's introduction and the excitement for the Sioux vs. Gophers rivalry, including Gopher Coach Bob Motzko's surprising, nice gesture to former UND coach Brad Barry. 0:08: "Feel Good Friday" with Vince Webker (Hot Tub Vinny) discussing the wellness benefits and science of hot tubs, saunas, and cold plunges. 0:21: Scott details the theory that the government shutdown is tied to the timing of the "No Kings Rally". 0:31: Interview with Dean Kyle Armitage of NDSCS Career…

There has been a lot of criticism of Anthony Edwards this past week and rightfully so as the Timberwolves look to him for leadership - what can he do to turn it around.

Dave brings us three headlines to react to and could Bob Motzko and the Gophers find their way back to the National Championship?

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Timberwolves, who always lose in Toronto but managed to do it in a very disheartening way on Thursday. Something is broken with this team, and fixing it doesn't appear to be simple. The Wild, meanwhile, continued their scorching start. They are 9-1-2 on the road after a 5-3 win over Edmonton. 10:00: Gophers men's hockey coach Bob Motzko joins the show for a look at his team, which like the Wild is off to a strong start. Motzko gets into the pressure of coaching a perennial contender, the joy of coaching, the pain he still deals with and his love of other Minnesota teams. 29:00: Three levels of football come into focus for the weekend.
