Nation of Jake

From Union Avenue to South Memphis, a heavy, sulfurous stench has Memphians asking the same question: What are we breathing?  While Mayor Paul Young’s team investigates potential sewer and environmental culprits, residents point to everything from local infrastructure to xAI turbines. Is it the smell of the blue wave...? Also on the show: Jim Jordan will be the House Minority Leader in the next Congress, Joe Biden visits Dublin and is met by alot of Irish vitriol, Jennifer Welch and her podcast lose multiple sponsors after laughing uncontrollably at Charlie Kirk's murder, and Jailhouse Rock is a gay song. Seriously. 

"Not on the Ballot": Trump argued that the responsibility lay with the quality of the individual candidates, writing, "I wasn't on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE!"

Also on the show: The big wigs sentence Russell Brand to 10 years in prison for r***, James Gunn is OUT at DC Studios because they don't know how to run a superhero movie universe, and Dana White makes his first appearance as the Press Secretary for President Trump.

Also on the show: a breakdown of the tragic Learjet crash in West Palm Beach, Florida that killed 9, we listen to the ATC audio and analyze the dashcam footage that captured everything. We also listen to Jerri Green not able to answer simple questions about trans women on air. 

What's scarier than another sex scandal! Sorta... because a new, and another lawsuit has been filed against former MSCS Superintendent Dr. Marie Feagins for allegedly exposing herself to former assistant. No proof that it's the case whatsoever, but the lawsuit is very much real. Is this another effort to tear down Feagins and her reputation? Also on the show: we dive in to Freddy Kreuger's backstory, the candy dad tax, how cigarettes and beer helped the Milwaukee Brewers win their first World Series, WVNN host Dale Jackson on the midterm elections, and former Tiger football head coach Rip Scherer on the 30-year-anniversary of Memphis v Tennessee 1996.

Just when you thought the election cycle couldn’t get any crazier, Donald Trump took the stage in Michigan and decided to critique the anatomy of hip-hop royalty.

Also on the show: the body-cam footage of the deadly shooting of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley was LEAKED and it shows exactly the opposite of what Ben Crump said, Stephen A. Smith stands up to The View as he bluntly tells them to get over their TDS, and several crazy clips from statements at the city council meeting. It got weird. 

The Memphis City Council is heading back into a legislative firestorm as they revisit a controversial data center moratorium and face the fallout of their attempt to ban State Representative Justin J. Pearson. Tensions are hitting a boiling point inside City Hall while massive, vocal crowds pack the streets and gather outside the chambers to protest the tech expansion and political silencing.

Also on the show: The Memphis Water Boy was done a disservice after getting publicity and a new car, a Mexican cook learned English with Italians and now has the best accent, and listeners try to come up with the most creative costume for Producer Rivera to wear for the company Halloween costume contest. 

Fourteen minutes at the podium was all it took for the internet to completely break down. We unpack Trump's new press secretary Katie Zacharia’s excruciating White House debut, from the rigid, robot-like delivery that earned her the nickname "The Zachbot" to the accidental viral gaffe where she referred to her husband as "my president." It's rough, but redeemable! Also on the show: a man was tragically killed while riding a rollercoaster at Six Flags Over Georgia, Ben Shaprio has written a movie that includes some heavy hitter actors like Nick Nolte, James Franco, and more; and Indiana has a political candidate that many think is drunk after a viral interview online. 

HAPPY BASICALLY ITALIAN DAY. At a high-octane midterm election rally in Clarksville, Tennessee, Donald Trump singled out Democratic candidates Justin J. Pearson and Jerri Green by name, slamming them as "radical" far-left extremists and "communists" who are out of touch with the state. They immediately struck back, framing it as definitive proof that the GOP is terrified of them. Also on the show: Harambe 2.0... ALMOST. A man entered a Tiger enclosure and was mauled to death and now people are upset that the Tiger wasn't killed on the spot, Kelly Clarkson has gone viral for slamming a business for not selling her a clock, and we finally find out where James Talerico has been... sort of. 

AFUERA! AFUERA! Justin J. Pearson was banned from attending the next two Memphis City Council meetings following a chaotic session regarding a proposed 12-month data center moratorium.

Also on the show: McDonald's prices are determined by AI allegedly? We also talk about Rosie O'Donnell insinuating that Elon Musk will be setting up satellites to steal votes on Nov 3, and Ron Hart joins the show to tell us he would be down to be one of the firing squad shooters. 

Justin J. Pearson is leading the charge on another clown show at the Memphis City Council as fights, weaves pulled, and angry chants broke out during last night’s city council meeting, where the vote on a one-year moratorium on data centers was delayed.

Also on the show: the "Gatorade Man' of Poplar Ave was arrested and now all his charges have been dropped after a public outcry against MPD, Mamdani's insane statement about the anniversary of the October 7 attacks, and the latest on Christa Pike still being alive and alert after her botched execution.

Donald Trump has publicly blasted Attorney General Letitia James’s appointment as special prosecutor for the Cornell gang rape case, calling her "corrupt" and claiming the accused stand no chance at a fair trial.

Why's Sydney Sweeney causing such scandal in the sports world when she herself is no athlete?! "None of these people I trust to do anything with AI," says Jake. Learn who he means and why.   

AI has become the the latest boogeyman in a history of boogeymen, what do you remember the government telling you throughout history will kill us all? Mario says, "Say no to drugs," because it could cost you your soul! Beavis and Butthead offer a Gen-Xer like Jake a proper "chortle," find out why. 

25 years ago, the world changed forever, leaving a generation bound by the shared promise to "Never Forget." We honor that vow by sharing personal stories from the day that defined an era. But as a quarter-century passes, a new generation has grown up in a different world—one where the true weight of 9/11 is fading into history, misunderstood, or even downplayed.

In an unexpected campaign move, President Trump promised to give every American adult a $5,000 "Trump dividend" check if Republicans keep control of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections.

Also on the show: the Daily Memphian responded to the Nation of Jake's strongly worded email; Floyd Bonner does his final call as Shelby Co. Sheriff, Memphis makes the best city in US list, and Hunter Biden reveals he is gay, but only like partially gay. Something like that.
