After rumors of the show’s demise, the Nonsense @ Nine crew came back stronger than ever—and Dan the Man was there to kick things off.
The crew covered everything from smoke-filled skies and the ultimate battle between horse flies and mosquitoes to Ron’s upcoming move. They also helped Ron decide what kind of lawn mower he needs while developing strategies to avoid getting recruited for any of his future projects.
Steve and Ron shared their thoughts on public restrooms and ripped into a local establishment without ever revealing its name. Steve recapped some unforgettable 10U baseball stories, gave an update on the SISU Backyard Ultra, and Max closed things out with another edition of Max’s Meltdown.
Nonsense @ Nine is back. The haters have officially been proven wrong.

Episode 60 brings together stories, chaos, and a nearly positive attitude from start to finish. John “Uncle Thud” joined the show live and shared some legendary 30th St. stories, bringing the crew back to simpler times and giving everyone plenty to laugh about.
Rowan “Rooster” made his debut holding down a seat, while Dan the Man came through with a big connection by linking the podcast with Jeffer’s super athlete, Bentley.
The crew also found time to get into a passionate debate about geese on a golf course, because on Nonsense @ Nine, even geese can become a full-blown argument.
Uncle Thud, Rooster’s debut, 30th St. stories, Dan the Man networking, Bentley, golf course geese, simpler times, and almost positivity — this one had it all.

LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED: Poor attitudes and effort from the crew. We will be better next week. 
Episode 59 kicks off with Dan the Man setting the tone in true Dan fashion. The guys sort of talked Father’s Day, touched on Will the Thrill’s birthday from Thursday, and promised there’s more to come on that next week.
Max also had himself a classic meltdown about… stuff. You know, the usual.
The crew also gave listeners an update on the SISU Backyard Ultra and where things are headed as the event continues to come together. A little bit of everything in this one, exactly how Nonsense @ Nine is supposed to be.

A special night in Cokato as Bill Aho was inducted into the Northstar League Hall of Fame.
Lars and Nels Anderson were on the call for the matchup between the Cokato Kernels and Dassel-Cokato Saints, with a steady stream of guests joining them in the booth throughout the night. Mike Enerson, Bill Aho, Eric and Vinnie Pokornowski, Tom Halonen, and Boomer Nelson all stopped by the broadcast.
It was more than just a ballgame. It was a night of local baseball history, great stories, and honoring one of the legends of the Northstar League.

Episode 57 started with Dan opening the show, and then… well, things got a little slow. For a minute, it looked like we might be staring down the worst episode in show history.
Then Jack Anderson called in and saved the day.
From there, the show found its legs. We talked about Bill Aho’s induction into the Northstar League Hall of Fame, Ryan’s day at the Mall of America, and then Vinnie Pokornowski stopped by to keep the momentum rolling with Bill Aho stories, Primeline Asphalt Services talk, and plenty of laughs.
This one starts slow, but stick with it — thanks to Jack and Vinnie, it turns into an awesome episode.

Ron took the wheel for Episode 56, and the man absolutely delivered. Dan the Man kicked things off with the open, setting the tone for another classic night of nonsense.
The boys talked weather, debated when the show should actually happen, and Ron even let everyone in on a little secret. Max, of course, had another meltdown, because it would not be Nonsense @ Nine without one.
Will the Thrill also joined the show to talk graduation foods and Minnesota Wild hockey, bringing the perfect mix of serious sports talk and questionable food takes.
Ron hosted. Max melted. Secrets were shared. The weather was discussed far too much. Another great night on Gravel Roads Radio.

After a few weeks off, the Nonsense @ Nine crew returned exactly how you’d expect: a little rusty, a little chaotic, and somehow still on the air.
Dan the Man kicked things off with some Harry Potter talk before helping the crew sing happy birthday to Aaron. Max melted down — more than once — and we officially introduced the SISU Backyard Ultra, a race Steve and Ryan are organizing for anyone who thinks running forever sounds like a good idea.
The guys also talked steak, recapped the Knapp Open, and tried to shake off the cobwebs after the break. Was it smooth? Not really. Was it Nonsense @ Nine? Absolutely.
Featuring: Dan the Man’s Harry Potter opener, birthday singing, multiple Max Meltdowns, SISU Backyard Ultra talk, steak debates, and a Knapp Open recap.

On this episode of Carpfest, the music starts early and keeps rolling late into the night at Spike Halonen’s place. Host Lars Anderson is joined by past GRR Outdoors guests Mike “Spike” Halonen and Tony Fratzke for a laid-back conversation packed with stories, laughs, and all things outdoors. The crew talks Carpfest, recaps Spike’s trapping season, dives into fishing reports and outdoor adventures, and shares the kind of campfire conversations that make northern Minnesota special. Good music, good friends, and plenty of outdoor talk on this episode of Carpfest.

Episode 52 of Nonsense @ Nine had a little bit of everything — and somehow, even underwear.
Dan the Man kicked things off, Will the Thrill got everyone fired up, and Primeline Asphalt Services made podcast history by sending underwear. Max, of course, melted down in classic fashion, while the crew dug into some Knapp Open insight ahead of the big event.
Nels Anderson joined the show, we tested the crew with an AI game, and the whole thing stayed perfectly on brand: slightly organized, mostly ridiculous, and exactly what you’d expect from Nonsense @ Nine.
