🎙️ Jay & Laney J LIVE – Podcast Show Notes

Wednesday, February 18, 2026 | 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM

Happy Hump Day! Today’s show had laughs, reflection, and a whole lot of “yep… we’re getting older” moments 😅

We kicked things off with a survey of 5,000 people over 40 revealing the top signs you’re aging — and the #1 hit home for a lot of listeners:

👉 Sitting down to put on your socks.

Other signs included:

• Preferring quiet nights over loud outings

• Random aches that never fully go away

• Making noise when standing up

• Naturally waking up early

• Talking about health issues with friends

Phones lit up with your “I’m not 25 anymore” moments — from hurting yourself while sleeping to getting excited about good parking spots.

Today also marked Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. We shared a few facts about the meaning behind the ashes and talked about what people are giving up for the next 40 days.

Listeners called in with:

• Things they’re giving up (sweets, soda, social media)

• Past Lent attempts that didn’t quite make it to Easter

• Personal reset goals for the season

It was a meaningful and reflective moment in the middle of all the fun.

With it being National Battery Day, we asked:
What’s draining your battery this week?
And more importantly…
What recharges you?

Some said coffee. Some said quiet time. Others said just getting through Wednesday is a win 😄

• Birthday & anniversary shoutouts

• Midweek motivation

• Plenty of laughs between songs

• A reminder that Kids IQ Trivia returns tomorrow (Thursday!)

Thanks for spending your morning with Jay & Laney J LIVE. If you missed us from 7–9, catch up right here — and we’ll see you bright and early tomorrow!
