About this episode

Dave Wheeler and Tyler Carr discuss local news in Winnipeg, including the launch of Pride Month and various government initiatives.

In this episode of the podcast, Dave Wheeler and Tyler Carr help kick off an incredibly massive summer weekend in Winnipeg, starting with the launch of Pride Month. They also break down Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew's decision to shut down plans for a massive AI data center near Winnipeg, alongside the provincial government's new $802,000 mobile paramedic pilot program designed to address toxic drug overdoses downtown—a plan heavily questioned by the mayor and the paramedics' union due to ongoing citywide staffing shortages. Plus, they look at the incoming GST top-up payments hitting bank accounts today, the arrival of Lumi the rescued lynx at the Assiniboine Park Zoo, and country star Morgan Wallen flipping a piano in viral frustration. The guys celebrate a heavy Manitoba connection in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals, where Oakbank's Brett Howden, Winnipeg's Mark Stone, and Winnipeg's Seth Jarvis combined for an unforgettable thriller to tie the series 1-1 heading to Vegas. Plus, it's officially GAME DAY for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers as they kick off the CFL regular season tonight in Calgary against the Stampeders!
