The Chad Hartman Show is LIVE from Target Field for the Twins Home Opener!

Plenty of Twins talk today but Chad and Dave start today’s show with a conversation about the F-15 US fighter jet that was shot down over Iran. Many lives have been lost and one crew member has yet to be recovered. Listeners weigh in with their thoughts after hearing the awful news.

Chad is then joined by Jeremy Zoll (Twins GM) and Simeon Woods Richardson (Twins Pitcher).

Simeon Woods Richardson is a pitcher in the Minnesota Twins starting rotation. Chad asks what kind of texter Simeon Woods Richardson is and what other technology quirks he has. They chat about the changes that Simeon has made to his diet and nutrition. Simeon provides his reasoning for placing that new challenge on himself. He also details some of the lessons he learned from AAA stints last season and how that level change allowed him to work on things before he returned to his Big League level. Chad asks his thoughts on the new ABS system and how it changes the dynamics between player/strikezone/umpire.

Jeremy Zoll is the General Manager of the Minnesota Twins and is first guest up to the plate for the special Twins Home Opener edition of the Chad Hartman Show.

Jeremy opens up talking about how he’s been building his relationship with ownership over the last few months. Chad asks about the differences under his approach versus Derek Falvey’s approach. Jeremy says that the pitching rotation is still the heart of this team despite losing Pablo Lopez for the season early on in spring training.

Chad asks about the lineup’s ability to produce runs on a consistent basis. He also asks about the stock of talent the organization has that plays across town in St. Paul. Jeremy says there’s a lot of excitement in their farm system and how he expects some players to put pressure on him this season to bring them up to the Big Leagues.

A brief show begins just after news became official that Pam Bondi was fired as Attorney General. Chad and Adam Carter react to that news and speak for a few minutes about the news regarding the number of complaints made regarding MPD Chief Brian O'Hara.

We began today’s show previewing what the President might say in his address later tonight, then we had some fun with Rena, talking about food with our good friend renowned restaurant owner David Fhima and recapping a night of ‘The Boss’ Bruce Springsteen with Jon Bream of the Minnesota Star Tribune! Finally we talk distracted driving and the DPS cracking down this next month!

In the final hour of the show we recapped the night that was at Bruce Springsteen with our friend Jon Bream of the Minnesota Star Tribune and shared some of your reactions to the show as well! Then we turn to the DPS crackdown on distracted driving

Spring is here, which means construction season is upon us - but it also means more people on the road and more people driving distracted. Minnesota Department of Public Safety is cracking down this next month on distracted driving incidents and some are weighing in on ways in which we can further implement safety restrictions with distracted driving!

Many are sharing great reviews after Bruce Springsteen rocked out at Target Center on Tuesday night - we recapped the big show with Jon Bream, music critic with the Minnesota Star Tribune, including the political ties into the show and whether people did or did not attend!

Whether you are sitting down to eat in Downtown Minneapolis or in Saint Paul - conversations in 2026 are just different and politics have a role in all of this - we talked to renowned restaurant owner David Fhima about the political polarization that comes into play with people sitting down to eat and the current state of restaurants in the Twin Cities! Then we have some fun with Text-A-Topic!

You text, we talk about it - it is Text-A-Topic! MNDoT help us out with all of these closures and projects - we cannot go anywhere, that - Downtown life, and expressing faith!
