The Matt McNeil Show

Fight at Disneyland; January 6 commemoration; middle class affordability issues; US has no idea what’s going on in Venezuela; Trump repeats Tylenol claims as US reduces vaccines; Max Nesterak joins Brett this week; Amy Klobuchar teases gubernatorial run; Matt takes on the Star Tribune for double standards; state GOP eager to attack Hortman for personal gain.

The attack on Venezuela and the decision by Tim Walz not to run for a third term as governor are the focal points of today’s show.

Brittlestar (Stewart Reynolds) has built a global following by combining sharp wit, family-friendly humour, and razor-clear observations about the absurdities of modern life. With more than 650 million views across platforms and hundreds of thousands tuning in weekly, his videos make people laugh, think… and occasionally wonder if he’s spying on their family group chat.

The son of a local energy and refinery project manager, Chris grew up in a middle-class family in Orange County.

He attended public school from kindergarten through college in Southern California, developing a fearless sense of leadership both in the classroom and on the football field.

As he continued his football career at UCLA, where he graduated with a double major in History and Political Science, and later as a professional NFL punter for the Minnesota Vikings from 2005 to 2012, Chris would use those leadership skills to forcefully advocate for strong collective bargaining rights, equitable pay, free expression, and LGBTQ+ rights.

Since retiring from the NFL, Chris has raised a family in Huntington Beach, coached high school football, authored multiple books, and has even published a board game. However, his passion for ethics and public transparency has never subsided, as evidenced by his recent opposition to the Huntington Beach City Council’s extremist book-banning and reckless spending.
