🎧 Episode Summary (Apple/Spotify-Style)
It's a jam-packed Tuesday edition of The Coffee Club Show with Janae and Ronnie, featuring heartfelt community stories, laugh-out-loud games, and insightful guest interviews.
We kick things off with a hilarious convo about tequila (or lack thereof), dive into important news like smoke alerts and cashless venues, and reflect on inventions that might’ve done more harm than good. The episode features local nonprofit heroes from HIA (formerly Hospice of the Red River Valley), and snooze-worthy insights from Sean Hotchkiss of Snooze Mattress Company. Oh, and yes—we play Scattergories with Dean Wysocki (chaos ensues).
From heartfelt to hilarious, it’s your one-stop community chat packed with laughs, local news, and meaningful moments.
