    From JJ McCarthy To Peyton’s Rookie Woes: Why Patience Wins

    Send us a text A case for patience with JJ McCarthy sparks a broader look at how strategy, not spectacle, steadies teams and fans. We move through Wolves rumors, winter food, oddball headlines, and a frank take on media noise, personal values, and where money really goes. • JJ McCarthy’s seven-start stats vs Peyton’s rookie stretch • Why a slowed offense and run game help a young QB • Vikings defense form and ticket-price reality check • Timberwolves trade talk, Rudy’s value, and fit over fame • Winter grind: sauna rentals, Etsy orders, shipping choices • Comfort food deep dive: chili builds, heat levels, soup wins • Light news roundup: drunk raccoon, fast shed, RoboCop statue • Media amplification vs everyday people, values vs legislation • Wealth concentration, buybacks, and local spending • Seasonal plan for the show: football focus, golf in summer Maya’s note: “Hi, I’m participating in Give This Christmas Away with my youth group. We’re raising money for Transparent Ministries, an organization that supports and mentors kids aging out of foster care. My goal is to raise $500 by our big give on December 17th. I’d love your help as I take a leap of faith and give this Christmas away. Any little bit helps.” Chisholm Hoops fundraiser: boys and girls programs raising for gear, travel, and youth support; donations open this week “This episode is brought to you by Boss2 Barrel Sauna Company… boss2barrel.com … we also have t-shirts available, contact for details” “Don’t forget to go on the Bas2 Boys podcast Shopify store… Roughbunker golf gear is also on there” Support the show

    Two dads juggle sports, community, and a fiery debate on media, money, and power—then pitch their dream movie cast

    Send us a text A 2–2 start, a sunrise kickoff in Dublin, and a depth chart patched together with grit—our Vikings chat gets honest about trenches, timing, and why getting JJ cooking early changes everything. From there, we look squarely at the Lynx semifinal exit and the line between physical play and player safety. Zero free throws for a star? Coaches defending their teams? Where’s the bar for consistency when a season hangs on a whistle? We don’t chase outrage; we track what helps the game. Then the lens narrows to where we live: our high school programs. Basketball is hiring across the staff, volleyball just stacked a big result, and one rogue football nuked a sprinkler, flooding a hallway and canceling JV. It’s funny because it’s true—but it also reveals what wins in October: fundamentals, leadership, and team culture that holds in hard moments. We also take on the thing most folks avoid. Social media’s rewards for certainty. Cable news slicing reality into clips. The difference between private choice and public obligation. Executive pay versus worker security. Stock buybacks and the erosion of retirement. We don’t land on slogans; we dig for middle‑ground levers—tying tax breaks to employer‑paid healthcare, protecting retirement for long‑tenured workers, and keeping Social Security honest by lifting outdated caps. On healthcare, we separate myth from lived timelines: urgent care must be fast; elective care needs a fair path that doesn’t bankrupt families. To cool the temperature, we share business updates you can actually use: sauna nights launching twice a month at Jim’s in Chisholm with hot/cold contrast therapy, flexible financing through Hearth for custom builds, and a friendlier website experience coming soon. And because we’re nerds at heart, we end with a four‑actor movie challenge: an elder‑era Batman with Brad Pitt and Willem Dafoe, and The Last Cipher starring Morgan Freeman, Johnny Depp, Keanu Reeves, and Jet Li. If this mix of sports, small‑town life, real talk, and creative fun hits your lane, tap follow, share with a friend, and drop a rating. Tell us your four‑actor dream cast and what topic you want us to tackle next. Support the show
