It’s a full-on holiday takeover on Bobby Finn Knows Everyone as the guys get festive, opinionated, and just a little unhinged. The crew debates their official Naughty or Nice List, featuring breakdowns of Mrs. Claus, Ellen Griswold, and Ralphie’s mom and more. They also rank the ultimate Christmas Bangers you can’t help but sing at full volume at church. Of course, it wouldn’t be the show without Minnesota sports talk, as the guys check in on the Wild, the Vikings, and ask the big question: Is J.J. McCarthy landing on the naughty or nice list? To top it all off, Bobby drops a surprise with Christmas gifts for the guys that you want to miss. Holiday chaos, sports takes, and classic Finja energy.

On this episode of Bobby Finn Knows Everyone, the guys welcome John Kriesel — former Minnesota state representative, decorated war hero, and funny contributor to KFAN’s Power Trip Morning Show.

John shares his extraordinary story of perseverance and positivity, recounting the day in Iraq when an IED explosion took both of his legs and claimed the lives of two of his brothers in arms. The conversation dives into resilience, humor, and finding happiness in the everyday, from his journey through recovery to his success as motivational speaker and his guest role on one of Minnesota’s most popular radio shows.

Of course, the guys have a few laughs with their local Eastside flavor —and even throw in White Bear Lake and Cottage Grove bar review for good measure.

It’s a moving, funny, and unforgettable conversation with one of Minnesota’s most inspiring voices.
