Are you a glutton for punishment? Do you enjoy stubbing your toe? If you've answered yes to either of these questions, you are going to LOVE this episode of Mediocre From Minnesota! As a Minnesota sports fans, we've become accustomed to failure, dashed hopes, and heartbreaking losses.

Alex joins the show as our first virtual guest to chat about the current state of Minnesota professional sports. Will the Timberwolves bring home the trophy this year after an incredible regular season? Is Anthony Edwards the next MJ? Can the Vikings draft there way out of another mediocre season? Are the Twins capable of repeating the magic from a year ago - no thanks to the Pohlad's and the payroll cuts. All of these questions and more will be discussed and unlikely answered in this Minnesota Sports edition!

In this episode, we are joined by Cory Beam (unfortunately no relation to Jim). Cory is a Company Commander in the Army Reserves in the great state of Texas. He's also a former Financial Advisor who took a brief detour to become a Police Officer. Now he's getting back into the Finance world and shares some of his dos and don'ts when it comes to making the most of your money (trigger warning - Dave Ramsey doesn't know everything).

Cory also discusses how he almost started an airline and explains why it would have crushed. Cheap airfare? Yes, please!

Sam and Cory face off in trivia battle focused on the delicious spirit known as Bourbon.
