In this high-energy Monday edition of Bonnie & Friends, Bonnie Amistadi and Jace Denman recap a busy Mother’s Day weekend while preparing for a week of extreme “roller coaster” weather. Temperatures are expected to soar to near 80°F mid-week before plummeting back into the 40s by Friday.
The show is packed with intense sports news, including the Minnesota Timberwolves’ resilient playoff series against the Denver Nuggets and the Minnesota Wild’s momentum shift against the Avalanche. Between local news on a rash of underground parking burglaries and the somber conclusion to the search for Al Oden, Jace provides a weary update on his vehicle’s persistent mouse infestation, which has now claimed mouse number three and one poof ball from his favorite beanie.
