On this jam-packed episode of The Jay Thomas Show, guest host Tim Flakoll navigates a whirlwind of local events, political insights, and community spotlights. Kicking things off with reflections on Fargo’s historic tornado and a weather forecast that promises a wild night, Tim chats with meteorologist Dean Wysocki about severe weather threats, potential tornadoes, and how to stay safe. From there, things shift gears into civic conversations. South Dakota gubernatorial hopeful Toby Doeden joins for a fiery and unapologetically conservative interview. He talks about eliminating property taxes, combating the Green New Deal’s CO2 pipelines, and leading South Dakota like a business. The energy’s high—and so is his confidence. Later, Judge Wade Webb gives a heartfelt look into decades of service in North Dakota’s courts, discussing courtroom realities, judicial philosophy, and his family's deep UND ties. The show wraps up with local legends in community wellness and agriculture. Rita Ussatis from NDSU Extension, along with interns Samantha and Casey, shares uplifting stories of teaching life skills to kids—from baking scones to rocking 4-H exhibits. It’s local radio at its finest: weather warnings, heartfelt tributes, bold political visions, pie-baking stories, and a few laughs in between.
