The Coffee Club: Pickles, Power Outages and Pup Stars: A Friday Frenzy with The Coffee Club 8-8-25

📄 Podcast Summary (Apple/Spotify-style):

It’s finally Friday and The Coffee Club crew is serving up a hot cup of news, laughter, weather alerts, and heartfelt conversations on this lively episode from AM 970 and FM 93.1 WDAY! Hosts Janae and Ronnie kick things off with wild storm recaps (including flying semis and exploding bedroom walls — yes, really), weather warnings for WeFest fans, and shoutouts to Fargo’s finest.

Yvette calls in with grandparent nickname ideas, Bentley (Dean’s son) drops by to preview his weekend plans, and listeners share their wild storm stories and weekend plans. Things take a thoughtful turn with a powerful Veterans Friday segment spotlighting the Brady Oberg Legacy Foundation’s emotional wreath-laying at Arlington and their new hyperbaric treatment partnership for PTSD.

And did we mention National Pickleball Day? Courts & Pints joins the show to dish on free games, drink specials, and why everyone needs to try pickleball (hint: there are pickle-flavored cocktails involved). As always, there’s fun, sass, trivia, and good vibes with the Coffee Club crew — and yes, they did manage to sneak in some Poison and Daft Punk jams along the way. 🕺

Perfect for your drive, your coffee break, or a Friday mood boost. 🎉
