About this episode

The episode discusses local events in Winnipeg, severe weather alerts, and sports updates.

In this episode of the podcast, Dave Wheeler and Tyler Carr look ahead to a massive summer weekend in Winnipeg, starting with the iconic Hi Neighbour Festival kicking off in Transcona. The guys dive into the history of small-town festivals and the legendary neighborhood mascot himself, Hi Neighbour Sam. But it's not all community parades and small-town charm. The newsroom is packed with heavy hitters today, including severe weather alerts following three confirmed tornadoes touching down in Manitoba, a look into why the City of Winnipeg can't legally regulate e-scooters on its own yet, and Donald Trump's wild claim that Canada is tracking to become the 51st state. On the sports desk, the guys recap an electric Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals in Raleigh, where former Winnipeg Jet Nikolaj Ehlers put on a show. Plus, they check in on the rainy Winnipeg Goldeyes homestand, look ahead to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' highly anticipated season opener this Friday in Calgary, and preview the NBA Finals tip-off tonight.
