Bonnie & Friends on AM 970 and FM 93.1 WDAY

In this high-energy Thursday edition of Bonnie & Friends, Bonnie Amistadi and Jace Denman celebrate a long-awaited mid-winter thaw with temperatures finally hitting a balmy 40 degrees. The show recaps a historic night for Minnesota sports, including the Timberwolves breaking a 22-year losing streak in Toronto and the Wild heading into the Olympic break on a five-game winning streak. Between breaking news on major leadership changes at NDSU and the Minnesota Vikings, the duo dives into a lighthearted "Question of the Morn" about the best infomercial purchases, from life-saving medical devices to "ploofy slippers".

Key Moments

  • NDSU Interim Leadership: The team discusses the appointment of former congressman Rick Berg as the interim president of NDSU, taking the reins after David Cook’s departure for Iowa State.

  • Wild’s Overtime Magic: The Minnesota Wild secure their fifth straight win in a high-scoring 6-5 overtime thriller against Nashville, featuring a hat trick by Matt Boldy and a walk-off goal from captain Jared Spurgeon.

  • Vikings and Twins Shakeups: "Big Game" James McCarty breaks down the major front-office departures, including Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and Twins President Derek Falvey.

  • Giving Hearts Day Spotlight: The show features two vital local nonprofits: Dear NICU Mama, which supports families of premature infants, and New Life Center, which just opened a new 32-bed warming shelter to combat rising regional homelessness.

  • Infomercial All-Stars: Listeners share their favorite "As Seen on TV" wins, ranging from the George Foreman Grill and OxiClean to "pajama jeans" and Jace's life-changing "Inspire" sleep device.

  • A "McNugget Caviar" Valentine: The team reacts to McDonald's bizarre new limited-time Valentine’s Day kit that pairs chicken nuggets with sturgeon caviar.

  • Agriculture Update: Bridgette Readel reports on Stan Kroenke becoming the largest private landowner in the U.S. and explores the science behind soil microbes that can potentially generate electricity to power farm equipment.
