    The Van Halentine's Day Not-So Spectacular

    Hallmark- we mean love - is in the air! We break down the history behind Valentine's Day and the ways Jake and Rivera celebrate, including how our listeners celebrate. What better way to celebrate love than some Van Halen records and some chocolate? Also on the show: The New York Giants new football coach sounds like Joe Biden, a Democrat-turned Republican is now running for Shelby County Mayor, and WVNN's Dale Jackson joins the show to talk about the latest headlines.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    'Til Voter ID Do Us Part

    Are married/divorced women in jeopardy of voting after the recent SAVE Act? First, the argument used against Voter ID was that certain races don't have the resources to acquire a Voter ID, and now the goal post has been moved to gender. Jake breaks down why the outrage is misplaced. Also on the show: RFK talks about snorting cocaine off a toilet seat, we celebrate Abe Lincoln's birthday with a rocking song about our 16th President, written by Jake, and syndicated columnist Ron Hart joins the show to talk about the latest political headlines.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Iguana Tacos, Ole!

    The Winter Olympics have felt more political than it has athletic. Eileen Gu has been called out by President Trump and now Enes Kanter Freedom for choosing to represent China instead of the USA, where she was born. We break down why her decision has been so controversial. Also on the show: our listeners tell us the craziest meat they've ever tried, Memphis is trying to develop starter homes to draw in new Memphians instead of improving safer streets and better schools, and an Irishman gets deported.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Homemade Boom Chick Boom Music

    Jake didn't win 1st in the Region, 4th in State in the 1994 National Spanish Exam for nothing. He puts his Español to use with his own reggaeton song while Rivera breaks down the ridiculous lyrics. It goes to show how fun Spanish music can be despite awful writing.  Also on the show: the Epstein Files for Dummies (or just kids), the FBI released the first images from Nancy Guthrie's RING doorbell camera showing the masked person of interest, IKEA is leaving Memphis after 10 years, and we play two rounds of Impossible Trivia.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The Halftime Show That Broke America

    Instead of "did you watch the game last night", it's now "did you watch the halftime show last night?" Bad Bunny's performance is now a litmus test of who's side you are on. Politically, if you like it: you are lefty. If you didn't like it: you are a racist. And how about that TPUSA show? Also on the show: the commercials were mainly forgettable with the exception of one featuring Mike Tyson, Memphis-Shelby County Schools finally reopen after 2 weeks, and the Seahawks beat the Patriots last night.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Super Bowl Preview Not So Spectacular

    Is the bigger headline the big game or Bad Bunny's halftime performance? Several NFL players and even Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson had quite a bit to say about the Grammy-winning artist and we react to it. 3-Time Super Bowl winner Randy Cross joins the show to give us a SB preview. Also on the show: a nationally viral clip shows a US Marshall kicking a dog in North MS, Lin Neal joins the show to celebrate 4 years of The Real Deal Racing Report, and Dale Jackson joined the show to talk about student walkout protests.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Trash Pickup: Still Frozen

    This is ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. Ice is mostly melted in roads across Memphis, but the Solid Waste Division is postponing yet another day of trash collection over a week after the snowstorm. Why couldn't they just get up, evaluate on a case to case basis, and get back to work?  Also on the show: Savannah Guthrie releases an emotional video to her mother's ransom note, Ja Watch has been postponed for the summer, AOC praises Don Lemon for his bravery, and syndicated columnist Ron Hart joins the show to talk about the latest headlines.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    "The Death Of Real Journalism"

    First Don Lemon gets arrested for "committing journalism", and today the Washington Post has announced they are laying off one-third of its newsroom. The entire sports department was eliminated as part of the mass layoff, which has led to people believing journalism is under attack.  Also on the show: updates on the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, Ja Watch continues to heat up with one day left until the NBA Trade Deadline, and we break down Dr. Edmund Ford's Jr.'s Nixonian/Trumpian resignation letter from the County Commission.
