📋 Episode Summary (Apple/Spotify style):
On today’s episode of The Jay Thomas Show, we kick things off with a bubbling convo about Hot Springs Spas and the importance of long-term customer service. But hold onto your handlebars—Jay shifts gears fast into Fargo’s controversial crackdown on sidewalk cyclists, diving deep into fines, safety, and freedom on two wheels. 🚲
Later, special guest Adam Martin, founder of the F5 Project, shares a jaw-dropping story of recovery, redemption, and the incredible work being done to help former felons rebuild their lives. It's raw, real, and inspiring.
And don’t miss Jay’s hilarious (and oddly heartfelt) commentary on the Trump–Elon “breakup,” the Great Grocery Giveaway, and Minnesota’s spicy new state flag drama. 🇺🇸🌲
As always, Jay keeps it unfiltered, funny, and full of heart.
