🎙️ Episode Summary (Apple/Spotify Style): This laugh-out-loud episode of The Jay Thomas Show is as North Dakota as free brats in a grocery store parking lot! Jay and the gang dive into the misadventures of Fargo’s 1975 time capsule unveiling (spoiler: no Shakey’s Pizza delivery bag), the chaos of neighborhood murals getting city council heat, and the power of prank calls from the days before caller ID.

Add to that a thunderous weather forecast, a local tribute to military veterans, and Jay's Oprah-style ticket giveaway spree, and you’ve got a one-of-a-kind community podcast filled with heart, humor, and homegrown fun. 🎉 Standout Moments & Timestamps: ⏱️ [0:00] - Vinny from Hot Springs Spas joinsThe hot tub king talks wellness, longevity, and why Fargo loves soaking in style. ⏱️ [15:30] - Time capsule unearthing from 1975Jay hilariously laments the lack of Shakey’s Pizza and Wham-O Frisbees in Fargo’s centennial stash. ⏱️ [43:10] - Giveaway extravaganza beginsIt’s Jay-prah!
