The temps are freezing, the wind is rude, and The Wake Up Call is warming things up with another Friday Food Fight! This week, Scotch, Tank, and Mandy battle it out to decide the Best Cold‑Weather Drink — from hot chocolate to cider to the coffee that keeps half of Fargo‑Moorhead alive in January. Listeners jump in with their own cozy picks, surprising favorites, and a few wildcards only Froggy fans could come up with. It’s warm, it’s comforting, and it’s the showdown your mug has been waiting for. Curl up and press play — the hot drink debate starts now. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mandy shows up with a stack of Gen Z slang, and Tank and Scotch do their best (or worst) to guess what any of it means. From “City Boyy” to “Lowkenuinely,” the chaos is real, the confidence is high, and the definitions are… not even close. Another classic Wake Up Call moment where the dads try to understand the youths. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s birthday time on The Wake Up Call! In today’s episode of Birthday, Birthday, Birthdays!, Scotch, Tank, and Mandy take on two celebrity clue sets for two different stars who share the same birthday. Tank brings the clues — starting vague, getting more specific, and ending with the giveaway — while Scotch and Mandy try to out‑guess each other and figure out the mystery celebs. One is a dramatic film actor known for intense, brooding roles…The other is a breakout Netflix star from a global sensation.But we’re not saying who — see if YOU can guess before the reveal!   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Two former NDSU Bison teammates — Grey Zabel and Jalen Sundell — are lining up side‑by‑side in Super Bowl LX, a Fargo‑to‑football fairytale that feels almost too good to be true. We break down their journey from roommates in college to starting on the Seahawks offensive line, including Sundell’s unbelievable detour driving Uber before getting his NFL shot. [newsbreak.com] Then, we take the conversation local: before people land in their real careers, they often have one last random, hilarious, or totally chaotic job. So we asked our listeners to text in their final “in‑between gigs,” and WOW — from mall mascots to late‑night gas station adventures, the replies did not disappoint. It’s a mix of hometown pride, Super Bowl hype, and the most relatable job stories you’ll ever hear — all in today’s episode of The Wake Up Call. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s your daily news, sports, and weather — but today’s sports segment comes with a twist. Yes, we’ve got your legit MN WILD National Hockey League recap from last night… But we’ve also got Tank’s breakdown from the other NHL: the Novice Hockey League at the Cullen Hockey Center in Moorhead. Tank played (or at least attempted to), and he’s here with the full report — bruises, ego damage, and all.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today’s episode of The Wake Up Call, the crew dives into one of the most unexpectedly heated debates in Fargo: Does putting your jacket on a table officially reserve it — or is that just wishful thinking? A Froggy listener sparks the conversation with a real-life coffee shop dilemma, and the team breaks down what proper etiquette looks like in a shared space… Fargo‑style. Then it’s time for the listeners to weigh in with their own unfiltered texts — from coat‑movin’ chaos to loopholes, power moves, and the unwritten rules everyone follows (or breaks). It’s relatable, it’s local, it’s a little awkward in the most Midwestern way possible — and it might change the way you claim a table ever again. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
