In this lively episode of the Five Heart Podcast, Greg and Minnie broadcast from different time zones, with Minnie joining in from vacation. The duo welcomes familiar faces in the chat and discusses everything from recliners and casseroles to college football recruiting. The big news includes Nebraska's 2026 commit, four-star OT Hayden Ainsworth, and the de-commitment of four-star CB CJ Bronaugh, who flipped to Florida. Tight end prospect Luke Sorensen's visit to Nebraska also generated buzz, along with possibilities of the Huskers flipping Syracuse commits. The show reflects on O-line development, with optimism for Justin Evans and Grant Brix. The conversation takes a fun, off-topic detour into Midwestern stereotypes and “You might be from the Midwest if…” jokes, led by Minnie, at Greg's expense. Greg also shares a heartfelt Father's Day moment and shows off a personalized Funko Pop gift. Wrapping up, Greg croons a birthday serenade to Melissa, much to everyone's amusement. As always, the podcast combines serious football talk with humor and community interaction. Fans are invited to send in their “Mount Rushmore of Husker Plays” for next week's episode.

Kan du huske din skoleklasse? Husker du dem, der blev mobbet? Det kan endda være, at du var en del af det. Enten som mobber, mobbeoffer eller passiv tilskuer. Måske ligger det mange år tilbage, men mobning lever i høj grad videre i dagens Danmark. Faktisk er mobning på få år steget markant i folkeskolen. Ida på 15 år har igennem flere år oplevet at blive ekskluderet, holdt udenfor og valgt fra af de andre i skolen. Lige indtil et særligt ophold ændrede hendes liv. I dette afsnit undersøger journalist Pernille Mainz, hvad mobning egentlig er. Og svaret viser sig i virkeligheden at være noget andet end det, mange af os går og tror.

College football is in a strange place with NIL and the portal, and Nebraska hasn't won at a high level in quite some time. Yet, getting Dylan Raiola to come here was a big deal, and Trae Taylor's current commitment seems like a big deal as well Does all of the struggles of Nebraska over the years and overall lack of interest for the changes in college sports prevent excitement from happening in the fanbase?
