Most Obvious Republican Commercial Ever

Nation of Jake ·

2026/02/27

When Democrats refused to stand at Trump's challenge at the State of the Union, everyone and their grandma knew that was both the most iconic moment AND the easiest layup of an advertisement. We react to the commercial and other political headlines. Also on the show: Judge Joe Brown has been dropped from the Republican ballot for Shelby Co. Mayor, Kool-Aid pickles are apparently a Memphis staple, a Back to the Future star is facing a lawsuit for battery, and we list our preferred fast-food

2026/02/26

State Of The Onion Address

Nation of Jake ·

2026/02/25

This may be the most dramatic State of the Union address ever. The gold-winning USA hockey team will be at the address, which shouldn't be a problem since 70 Democrats are refusing to make an appearance. Why are people so mad at the hockey team? We break it all down. Also on the show: one of the democrats said they'd "rather stick needles in their eyeballs" than attend the State of the Union, we play two rounds of Impossible Trivia, and JB Smiley talks in the third person for some weird reason.See

Serial Office Holders

Nation of Jake ·

2026/02/24

The first debate for the Democratic nominees for Shelby County Mayor are scheduled and its full of familiar faces, some that already hold government positions.

'Til Voter ID Do Us Part

Nation of Jake ·

2026/02/13

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.

Homemade Boom Chick Boom Music

Nation of Jake ·

2026/02/11

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.

The Halftime Show That Broke America

Nation of Jake ·

2026/02/10

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

Super Bowl Preview Not So Spectacular

Nation of Jake ·

Trash Pickup: Still Frozen

Nation of Jake ·

2026/02/06

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.

2026/02/05

FAFO hits hard, especially when you are asking for it. Weeks after his involvement in the church storming in Minnesota and goading Pam Bondi to arrest him, the Trump Administration put out a meme-y post announcing the arrest of Don Lemon. We break down why he wasn't covering the crime; He was connected.
