What happens to a pop star when the world moves on? Andrea Swensson and Denzel Belin join the show today to talk about the rise and fall of Lizzo, who used to call Minneapolis home. Then, we break down the latest in the state's investigation into the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, and we open up a spicy hot mailbag which is filled to the brim with positivity and filled to at least the half brim with negativity about bike lanes!
