đź“Ś Episode Description:
On today’s Jay Thomas Show, we dive into real talk about Texas' catastrophic floods, skyrocketing Vegas prices, and the newly passed "Big Beautiful Bill" affecting Social Security, overtime, and tip taxes. Jay and Ronnie break it all down with a no-nonsense lens, while listeners call in with raw, on-the-ground insights. Weather updates, political commentary, and a few jabs at overpriced hamburgers — it’s a full-on Fargo-style feast for your ears.
