03-10-26 Bonnie & Friends: Shootout Thrills, Stolen Taxis, and the “Mother of All Deals”

Bonnie & Friends on AM 970 and FM 93.1 WDAY

In this action-packed Tuesday edition of Bonnie & Friends, Bonnie Amistadi and Jace Denman navigate a chilly morning in the Red River Valley following a dusting of fresh snow. The sports world takes center stage as the Minnesota Wild pull off a spectacular comeback victory against the Blackhawks, and star winger Kirill Kaprizov is named the NHL's First Star of the Week. Between recapping the Timberwolves' streak-breaking win and the Minnesota Twins' new deal with pitcher Joe Ryan, the team explores a bizarre range of headlines—from a world-record "tree hugging" marathon to a 155-mile trek by a runaway cat. Later, the duo dives into the "Mother of All Deals" between India and the EU and previews the upcoming "Cookie University" with the Girl Scouts.

Key Moments

  • Wild Overtime Heroics: Jace breaks down the Minnesota Wild's thrilling 4-3 shootout victory. After trailing 3-0, the Wild scored four unanswered goals, capped off by Kirill Kaprizov’s decisive shootout winner and a "brick wall" performance by goalie Jesper Wallstedt.

  • The 155-Mile Feline Trek: Bonnie shares an incredible story from Spain, where a cat escaped its owners at a gas station and walked over 150 miles back to its original home in France.

  • Kangaroo Chaos: The team reacts to viral footage from the "Tour Down Under" bike race in Australia, where two kangaroos hopped into the middle of the pack, causing a massive pile-up and injuring several cyclists.

  • North Dakota's Record Growth: New state estimates show North Dakota's population has reached a record high of 799,358, putting the state less than 700 people away from the historic 800,000 mark.

  • The Ultimate Tree Hugger: Bonnie highlights a 22-year-old woman in Kenya who broke a world record by wrapping her arms around a tree for 72 consecutive hours to raise environmental awareness.

  • Cookie University Is in Session: Bailey Brooker from Dakota Horizons Girl Scouts joins the show to preview the 2026 cookie season, introducing the "Explore Mores" rocky road-inspired cookie and explaining how "Cookie University" at NDSU teaches young girls digital entrepreneurship.

  • "Mother of All Deals": The "Money and Markets" segment covers a historic free trade agreement between India and the European Union, a massive deal affecting two billion people and representing a third of global trade.

  • Stolen Rental Recovery: Fargo police use their license plate reader system to track down and arrest a Detroit Lakes man less than an hour after he allegedly stole a running rental vehicle from a local hotel.
