📝 Episode Description: On this explosive episode of The Jay Thomas Show, Jay dives deep into the chaos brewing in downtown Fargo after a shocking weekend shootout left a young woman’s car riddled with bullets — and barely a whisper from city leadership. With raw emotion and unfiltered commentary, Jay calls out what he sees as a breakdown in accountability across the board: from courts to city officials. Amid the heat, we cool off with a chat about Minnesota’s “Coolest Thing Made” contest and some sizzling summer horticulture talk, including glow-in-the-dark petunias (yes, really).
