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.

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!

We get into a new survey showing Americans hit their daily energy wall before 3 p.m. and spend plenty of the day running on “autopilot,” Texas looking at three-year bachelor’s degrees, and SpaceX planning a massive new Louisiana launch facility. On the lighter side, Spicy Chicken McNuggets are coming back, PBR has somehow turned a beer box into a Jason Voorhees Halloween mask, and Reese’s is turning its famous peanut butter pumpkin into a latte.

Jay and Laney J wrapped up the week with a fun mix of conversation, laughs, and listener interaction as everyone looked ahead to the weekend. The show kicked off with a discussion about Congress once again considering permanent Daylight Saving Time, sparking plenty of opinions on whether Americans should keep changing the clocks or finally pick one time year-round. The conversation shifted to artificial intelligence, where listeners weighed in on how much they use AI in their everyday lives and whether it's becoming too dominant.The duo also uncovered a surprising study suggesting many products labeled as containing avocado oil may not actually contain authentic avocado oil, leading to a lively discussion about grocery shopping, food labels, and the products people refuse to buy the cheap version of. They also talked about new research on teen social media bans and whether restricting access really solves the problem or simply pushes young people toward different platforms.A few lighter stories kept everyone entertained, including a Labrador in Scotland that had to be rescued after accidentally consuming cannabis during a mountain hike and a fascinating scientific explanation for why cannibalism became one of humanity's strongest taboos. Closer to home, Jay highlighted how parts of southeastern Oklahoma have received some of the state's heaviest rainfall this summer, with listeners sharing just how much rain they've seen around their homes.As always, Friday was packed with listener interaction as callers and Facebook viewers shared their weekend plans, favorite ways to unwind, and answered the "Would You Rather" question: have every Friday off forever or earn an extra week of vacation each year. The show wrapped up by wishing everyone a safe and relaxing weekend and inviting listeners to spend it enjoying everything Southeast Oklahoma has to offer.Thanks for spending your Friday morning with Jay & Laney J LIVE on Best Country 106!
