This week, Dustin, Bruce, and Matt are back with another episode of Beer Belly Sports… and honestly, there wasn't a ton happening in Minnesota sports, but that has never stopped us before. ⚾ The Minnesota Twins are doing… okay. Not great. Not terrible. Just kind of existing in that weird Twins space where you're not quite sure how to feel about them.

This week it's Bruce and Matt behind the mic with a loaded episode full of Minnesota sports and the usual Beer Belly chaos.
