✨ Episode Summary (Apple/Spotify Style): Buckle up for a delightfully Fargo-centric ride in today’s jam-packed episode of The Coffee Club Show! Janae and Ronnie serve up the local buzz like no one else—from cherry pies and condiment debates to airline upgrades and fast food fiascos. 🍒 It’s Cherries for Charity week, and Jody Hudson from the Rape & Abuse Crisis Center stops by to share how eating sweet Washington Bing cherries helps support critical local services (and why we really should try making cherry pie from scratch). 🍕 In “Franchise Flop of the Week,” the hosts tackle a viral video out of Moorhead’s newest Papa John’s, where a manager’s explosive behavior toward young employees sparked serious public backlash—and a broader conversation about franchise accountability. ✈️ Big travel news! Fargo’s airport is getting a direct Delta flight to Atlanta, and Janae is already planning family visits. Meanwhile, Ronnie’s still stuck on how peanut butter should be stored. 💬 And of course, no episode is complete without the Question of the Day: “What’s something everyone loves that you absolutely can’t stand?” Spoiler: Sushi and brats take some serious hits. This episode blends quirky banter, strong community vibes, and helpful updates from guests like West Fargo PD and Vision Zero.
