    Welcome to The Smash Brothers SmashCast! This week we decided to open up the conversation and take our SmashCasts to another level. We know we talk about our golfing adventures and we will continue to do so but we also have lives that involve more than golf and goofing around. We have over 65 years of experiences in life and living with friends from all walks of life with diverse backgrounds, opinions and lifestyles. All of them help shaped who we are and our opinions.

    On this episode we talk about the current events surrounding Minnesota and the country in general. We discuss what we see, what we hear and what we read. We're here to open up the conversation and yes, Mick gets emotional and that comes from his patriotism.

    There's no script to this conversation. It's freestyle and no edits. We keep it real and raw.

    Thanks - The SmashBrothers.
