In this fiery and freewheeling Thursday edition of "What's On Your Mind," Kevin Flynn and Jay Thomas tag-team a talk radio rollercoaster with no seatbelts required. With Scott Hennen “on assignment” (or hiding in plain sight like Waldo), the duo pivots into everything from Minnesota’s political shake-ups to a national free speech controversy—and a whole lot of personal storytelling along the way.
Highlights include a spirited breakdown of Minnesota GOP drama, a preview of Senate hopeful Royce White, and a lively First Amendment debate surrounding the now-infamous “86/47” freeway sign. Listeners weigh in with raw takes, including heated calls for accountability and even tales of teenage shoplifting that ended in handcuffs and hard lessons.
Jay also goes full nostalgic dad-mode with memories of spankings, barbecues, and police "scare tactics" gone right. And in between political truth bombs, the boys manage to plug post-frame construction, hot lunch specials, and even discuss where Americans are retiring (spoiler: it’s Portugal).
If you like your political commentary with a side of dad jokes, righteous indignation, and a splash of nostalgia, this one’s for you.
