In this cozy post-holiday edition of The Coffee Club, Janae and Ronnie ease into the short week with laughs, local updates, and a whole lot of summer spirit. From botched tree trimming and chilly kayaking adventures to the grand opening of Minnesota’s first off-reservation tribal cannabis dispensary, this episode is a warm blend of community, curiosity, and caffeinated chatter.
The duo dives into Memorial Day reflections, discusses the booming success of the Lilo & Stitch live-action film, and highlights Shey West Garden Center as a local gem for families and nature lovers. They also get candid with the United Way about the growing need for school supplies in the area—plus some fun banter about pizza, podcasts, and why Gen Z just doesn't want to work anymore.
☕️ Pour a cup, lean back, and enjoy this feel-good, flower-filled episode!
