It was a packed Friday morning on Jay & Laney J LIVE. Dr. Lofton joined us to kick off the show with health talk, including flu season. We also marked the 25th anniversary of September 11th, talked Broken Bow–Idabel rivalry football, the McCurtain County burn ban, and Cody Glen Cox stopped by around 8:30 and shared new music with us!

🎙 Jay & Laney J LIVE – Thursday, September 10, 2026

Jay and Laney J kicked off Thursday talking about Hochatown’s search for a police chief as the community works toward building its new police department, plus an update on the West Glover Fire northwest of Hochatown. They also talked about free Choctaw language classes starting next week and the Oklahoma judge from Stephens County who admitted using AI for legal research after his ruling included court cases that didn’t actually exist — leading into a bigger conversation about how much we should trust artificial intelligence. With tomorrow marking 25 years since the September 11 attacks, the show looked ahead to remembering where we were on that unforgettable day. And, as always on Thursday, the kids got their shot with Kids IQ!

We kicked off this Friday morning with Kyle Gray and Thomas Shehan from Pruett’s Food Pharmacy, talking about flu shots coming soon, when you should think about getting yours, and some of the common questions and misconceptions people have heading into flu season. Dr. Lofton joined us next as we talked health, staying safe during Labor Day weekend celebrations. We also got into the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation’s hilarious social media presence, celebrated National Wildlife Day, looked ahead to a huge Labor Day weekend around Broken Bow and Hochatown, and talked local football with the Broken Bow Savages traveling to Durant tonight.

🎙️ Jay & Laney J LIVE – Thursday, September 3, 2026

🎙️ Jay & Laney J LIVE – Episode 152

Podcast Show Notes – Wednesday, September 2, 2026

On today’s Jay & Laney J LIVE, we talked about the upcoming McCurtain County Free Fair, the ongoing burn ban and wildfire concerns, and an Oklahoma library using a 3D printer to create a mobility device for a toddler. We also got into the surprising story of Oklahoma prison inmates working call centers, Americans admitting they spend way too much time on their phones, and just how confused some people are about Labor Day — including the 64% who think every weekend should be three days long. That sparked the big debate: would you rather have every Friday or every Monday off? We also talked about what “working class” means today, tackled the Impossible Question, Wordle Wednesday word was RULER, and mixed in Weird Wednesday along with the latest entertainment and music news.

CORRECTION: Information on the McCurtain County Free Fair website incorrectly listed the carnival as beginning this week. We checked directly with the Fair Board, who confirmed the carnival will take place during the fair, not this week, and they told us the website information will be corrected.

🎙 Jay & Laney J LIVE – Episode 151

Podcast Show Notes – Tuesday, September 1, 2026

September is officially here, and Episode 151 starts the month with plenty to talk about. Jay & Laney J get into the TikTok rebrand nobody asked for as the lower-back tattoo formerly known as the “tramp stamp” is now apparently being called a “Cake Topper.” They also talk about the growing number of pet owners turning to AI for advice on everything from nutrition to health, whether being single can actually be good for personal growth, and the bizarre story of rabid goats from a traveling petting zoo. Plus, September songs get some love, Braum’s ice cream mixes enter the conversation, and—as usual—the morning takes a few turns nobody could have planned.

🎙️ Jay & Laney J LIVE – Episode 150

Podcast Show Notes – Monday, August 31, 2026

Episode 150 started strong with Evan Smalling from State Farm joining Jay and Laney J in studio to talk about his new location in Downtown Broken Bow and the upcoming open house. Then the morning took an unexpected turn when the internet went down, knocking the live show offline for a big chunk of the broadcast. The good news: the connection finally came back toward the end of the show and we were able to finish things out together. Because of the outage, we never got around to Are You Smarter Than Jay Lindly or the Impossible Question, so we’ll save those for another day. Not exactly how we drew up Episode 150 — but when you’re doing live radio, sometimes the technical difficulties become part of the show!

🎙 Jay & Laney J LIVE – Friday, August 28, 2026

It’s Friday on Jay & Laney J LIVE! Episode 149 starts with some of the biggest stories of the day, including the devastating flooding along the Nepal-Tibet border and the latest involving Americans caught in the disaster, plus President Trump’s move to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America” in the U.S. amid growing tensions with Canada. Jay and Laney also work through the usual Friday mix of headlines, conversation, laughs, and southeast Oklahoma perspective. Then toward the end of the show, they mark National Radio Commercial Day with a conversation about why local radio advertising still matters and how radio commercials can help small businesses grow, especially in small-town communities like ours.
