In this episode of Anything But Politics (ABP), we lace up for a wild ride! First, hear a heart-pounding (and maybe heart-stopping?) running story that’ll make you think twice about nighttime jogs. Then, we huddle up for a Minnesota Vikings season update—are they soaring, or is it just another Minnesota mirage? Finally, we deck the halls with hilarious Christmas stories and cherished family traditions. Tune in for laughs, insight, and a sprinkle of holiday spirit—no politics, just the good stuff!

In this hilarious and educational episode, we sit down with my sister, Rebekah, a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthesiologist, to get the inside scoop on a job that’s equal parts science, skill, and comedy gold.
From answering the biggest anesthesia myths (yes, they do know when you’re awake!) to sharing unforgettable stories of patients saying the darndest things before surgery, this episode will have you laughing, learning, and maybe even appreciating your next nap a little more. Tune in for the laughs, stay for the expertise—you’ll never look at surgery the same way again!

The ABP team has a special guest, small business owner, and friend of the podcast, Scott Krupke join us. He shares insights on what it was like to own a small business, shares some lessons learned and good stories.
