The Real Midwestern Love Language #221
Summary
Hosts Charlie and Miles record from American Legion Post 21 in Moorhead, Minnesota, discussing local events and childhood memories involving horseshoes and fishing. A caller named Bob, an executive recruiter from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, joins to discuss headhunting, leading to a playful "reverse headhunt" where the hosts are cast as morale-boosting employees. The conversation shifts to sports logos, specifically the Detroit Lions, and the hymn "On Eagle's Wings," prompting the hosts to plan a future episode featuring its composer, Michael Jonkas.
