📄 Episode Description (Spotify/Apple-style):
On this lively and rainy Monday edition of The Coffee Club Show, Janae and Ronnie bring their trademark warmth and wit to a packed show. From serious local news to absurd backyard laws and light-hearted guilty pleasures, this episode has it all. The duo dives into the Fargo weekend shootings, talks about the chaos and charm of the Sturgis Rally, and unpacks what you legally can't keep in your backyard (spoiler: no tanks allowed!).
Stick around for food talk (gas station pizza, anyone?), nostalgic reflections on fading Americana, and why a dolphin tattoo may or may not have a "porpoise."
Plus: pop culture updates, a special segment on disappearing American traditions, and a preview of the Define the Fight podcast.
Whether you’re here for laughs, news, or weird laws, you’ll feel right at home.
