TJP_FULL_Episode_1742_Thursday_102226_Technology_Thursday_with_the_Fearsome_Foursome.mp3
On today's episode, James, Glenn, Mark, and Dwayne, with David on the phone, take another look at Elon's flying car. Is it just a stunt, or are flying cars as bad as they'll ever be right now? Glenn breaks down the three tiers of the new Roadster, and Mark wonders what that road-hugging suction will do on Louisiana gravel. Then it's crypto: Mark calls $80,000 a floor for Bitcoin, David says bots are running the market, and Mark drops a classic: "give the man a bank, he'll rob everyone." Could Musk end up with half the world's assets, or will they John D. Rockefeller him? Dwayne explains why chips in space are built to run hotter, and says Optimus robots go on sale next year for about $30,000. Plus why Louisianans can't just buy a Tesla down the street, and the Tesla that won a parking-lot stare-down. Don't miss it!

TJP_FULL_Episode_1741_Wednesday_102126_James_and_the_Giant_Preacher.mp3
On today's episode, James and Glenn welcome Pastor Jimmy Williams to ask a big question: what does the Bible really teach about marriage, and why is it such a divine institution? Fresh from his seminary class on discipleship in the home, Jimmy argues that Scripture radically raised the value of women, and Glenn adds that Jesus gave women more significance than almost anyone before Him. We open Mark 10 on "the two will become one flesh," then dig into why hookup culture leaves young people confused and why kids need to see parents work through disagreements instead of hiding them. Glenn questions the old divorce statistic, and Jimmy's advice for finding a spouse is simple: pursue God, and whoever catches up with you is the one. We cover Marine boot camp and independence, Aristotle's golden mean, why you can't just be a fan of a successful marriage, and why a .350 hitter is a Hall of Famer. Don't miss it!

TJP_FULL_Episode_1740_Tuesday_102026_Legal_Tuesday_Case_Breakdown_with_the_Unholy_Holy_Trinity_and_Seth.mp3
On today's episode, James, Glenn, and Dwayne welcome Dwayne's friend Seth Hazen, a New Jersey transplant to Florida, on Mickey Mantle's birthday. We start with the legal question of the day: who has standing to stop the president from cutting down trees on a public golf course in Washington, D.C.? James walks through standing and preliminary injunctions, and says he'd happily sit through a judge's marathon session with salaried government lawyers. We debate full-size candy bars versus the little ones and what your trash can color says about your vote, then weigh whether Republican voters are fibbing to pollsters. Glenn brings Elon's plan to put stock in the hands of every child in America, Seth explains why he's a huge Musk fan, and James ranks him alongside Napoleon and Augustus but worries some of his ideas sound like communism. We close on when, if ever, it's okay to lie, from Kant to Churchill's "bodyguard of lies." Don't miss it

TJP_FULL_Episode_1739_Monday_101926_Monday_News_with_the_Unholy_Holy_Trinity
On today's episode, James, Glenn, and Dwayne (calling in from behind some Florida banana trees) ask whether Trump has had a rough few weeks of PR, from Iran to Ukraine. We get into reports of ships hitting mines near the Strait of Hormuz, Glenn's case that Ukraine has become a testing ground for drone warfare, and James's push for nuclear power. Glenn warns against believing your vote won't matter, and early voting starts tomorrow in Louisiana. Then James files his report from Tech's 24-0 win in Monroe, from long gate lines to Model T-era rebar. We weigh Landry's jobs forecast and SpaceX's launch pace, and Glenn defends the Roadster: "It's about hope." James compares the naysayers to the Wright brothers' doubters, and we debate whether Entergy is truly private as Meta seeks 4.5 gigawatts. Plus a reported Madden "pick six" mix-up and the Justice Department's warning to California. Don't miss it!

TJP_FULL_Episode_1738_Friday_101626_Conspiracy_Friday_with_Charlotte_and_the_Unholy_Holy_Trinity.mp3
On today's episode, James, Glenn, and Charlotte open Conspiracy Friday under an overcast sky (Dr. Evil suit and all), with Dwayne joining as Charlotte heads back to work. We geek out over last night's Tesla Roadster reveal: a Hot Wheels half-loop, a suction fan, cold-air thrusters, and Elon looking like a dad with his first baby. Glenn's theory is that the kick-flips are softening the ground for a SpaceX and Tesla merger, and the Friday bit writes itself: maybe Musk is just an alien trying to get his ships back. We also hit AI mini-soap operas and the uncanny valley. Then the hard turn: Bend, Oregon, a citizen with a gun, and why soft targets keep showing up in these stories, plus Louisiana churches that take security seriously. James weighs lawyer versus attorney on the new press secretary, we laugh (and wince) at "we have guns too," and we ask where the Optimus robots went. Don't miss it!

On today's episode, James, Glenn, and Dwayne get ready for tonight's Tesla reveal at 7:55. Is that a nod to 1955 and Back to the Future? Glenn predicts two Roadsters, one of them a flying car, and Dwayne says there's no reason to shut down airspace if it doesn't fly. First, Dwayne connects old Ethernet switches to the rail-yard switch as former SpaceX engineers build self-driving, battery-powered freight cars, and James pictures train tracks running back into the cotton fields. We hear how AI agents could cut out middlemen like Airbnb, and James says his bot is "really like having an employee." Then a reactor that could turn lead into gold? Glenn checks the math: all the gold ever mined would fill about four and a half Olympic pools. We also cover a pardon for two Alaska truck mechanics and why anyone objects to "Make America Great Again." Tomorrow, Mark and David join us for crypto. Don't miss it

TJP_FULL_Episode_1736_Wednesday_101426_James_and_the_Giant_Preacher.mp3
On today's episode, James and Glenn welcome Pastor Jimmy Williams to dig into ecclesiology: how should a church be governed? We walk the spectrum from Catholic hierarchy to Baptist autonomy and land on Jimmy's Methodist Protestant middle path, where the conference can remove a rogue pastor but a living congregation can still disaffiliate and keep the building. Jimmy explains his "oddball" altar call before the sermon, monthly communion, the Lord's Prayer every Sunday, and a praise team that broke out the Doobie Brothers. James tests him with a hypo: preach "Allah is the one and only God" and see who shows up. We weigh catechism versus entertainment, a Catholic priest shutting down a deacon mid-homily on the talents, and why prosperity is a byproduct of faithfulness, not a Cadillac. Glenn compares it to jazz: you riff, but the notes still matter. Don't miss it!

On today's episode, James, Glenn, and Dwayne take on the ten constitutional amendments on Louisiana's November ballot. James points out we've voted on 321 amendments since 1974 and calls it "third world country type stuff." We break down the post-conviction bail ban James dubs "the Roman Polanski bill," a lifetime two-term limit for governors, the foreign-adversary eminent domain ban, lead water lines, blighted property, and the senior tax freeze. Glenn's advice: "If you don't understand it, ladies and gentlemen, my advice would be no." But first, the Elon update: the 800 megahertz band that could reach your phone through the roof straight from orbit, robots on the line, and a possible twin catch at Starbase. Then we look at Landry's $3.5 billion rural package, Penn and Teller's case that only aluminum is worth recycling, and early voting in Ohio. Tomorrow, Jimmy Williams joins us. Don't miss it!

On today's episode, James, Glenn, and Dwayne break down a weekend of news, starting with the Sooners beating Texas and Tech handling Lafayette. We debate whether a candidate's smile can carry a campaign and pick apart a diner ad that asks who pays the rest of the tab. Then James reads a University of Louisiana System letter on Louisiana Tech's finances, from held-back raises to a bond downgrade, and Dwayne says it "lacks vision." What should Tech become? James says "the best value in engineering in the country," and we dig into Elon Musk's take that schools teach tools instead of problems: "First comes the problem, then the screwdriver becomes a weapon." We weigh a plan to stream the Fort Hood shooter's military execution and Trump's taxpayer-funded ads that a judge ordered stopped, then make our midterm calls. Tomorrow we tackle Louisiana's constitutional amendments. Don't miss it

TJP_FULL_Episode_1733_Friday_100926_Conspiracy_Friday_without_Charlotte_and_with_Sarah_and_Joshua_.mp3
On today's episode, James and Glenn welcome Sarah for a Conspiracy Friday deep dive into the Cornell Seven, with Joshua joining partway through. Sarah walks us through the allegations in Jane Doe's civil lawsuit, how they compare to her first statement to police, and why the district attorney originally declined to bring charges. She also covers the texts and the timeline, and Cornell's own 99-page opinion. James explains why a crime is an offense against "the king's peace," not just the victim, and Glenn nails why a civil suit is a different animal: "Like OJ." We ask why the story exploded now, and float the theory that it's a handy distraction from New York's troubles. Then we talk parenting, personal responsibility, and why suing over an accusation only spreads it further. Joshua's advice: know your limits. And as Three Dog Night warned, "Mama Told Me Not to Come." Don't miss it!

On today's episode, James, Glenn, Dwayne, Mark, and David welcome Joshua to the table for Technology Thursday. What's the future for young people when AI is coming for entry-level law and medicine, and why did Anthropic go lobbying the Vatican? Dwayne wants every 3L to take Musk's Grok course, warns that your next boss may be an AI agent, and explains how one human could plug in a whole fleet of Cybercabs. Glenn earns a new nickname, "the crash test dummy," and walks us through the Boring Company's city-to-city tunnels. On crypto, David and Mark split on where Bitcoin goes next, dig into the banks' lawsuit over crypto charters, and ask whether XRP is the hidden rail under everything. Then the college sports bubble: bus trips, Division Two, and why big-money boosters may be "emotional gambling." We close with Musk's National Medal of Science and the CIA buyout offer.

TJP_FULL_Episode_1731_Wednesday_100726_James_and_the_Giant_Preacher
On today's episode, James and Glenn welcome Pastor Jimmy Williams to dig into the doctrine of courage. Is courage the absence of fear, or faith that moves forward anyway? We walk through Esther's "if I perish, I perish," Jesus telling the paralytic to have courage, and Deborah stepping up when the men wouldn't. We weigh Aristotle's golden mean between cowardice and recklessness, from snake handling to the Good Samaritan, and ask whether men need adventure and a battle to fight. James shares why he needed an adversary to love practicing law, Glenn talks martyrs and the fiery furnace, and Jimmy closes with a word for anyone who feels hopeless. Don't miss it!

On today's episode, James, Glenn, Dwayne, and Ben on the phone break down whether Sharia courts can exist in Texas or only as arbitration, then follow the map as South America turns red and Brazil heads to a runoff. Ben brings the Louisiana buzz about Jeff Landry and John Kennedy for president, and we dig into the higher-education bubble, from colleges slashing tuition to whether ULM, Tech, and Grambling can all survive on I-20. We ask why diesel is so high if we're energy independent, get Dwayne's refinery primer, and hit "SpaceX SI," baseballs bouncing off dome ceilings, the B-1s leaving England, and how Starlink can spot stealth planes. We close on elections and the courts: the Texas Senate race, Steve Hilton's ballot-harvest pizza party, Maricopa's early ballots, the DC federal bench, and next week's plan to tackle Louisiana's constitutional amendments. Don't miss it!

A_Conversation_with_Lewis_Jones_Candidate_for_Third_Judicial_District_Judge_Div_B_TJP_FULL_Episode_1729_Monday_100526
On today's episode, we sit down with Lewis Jones, Chief Felony Prosecutor for the Third Judicial District and candidate for District Judge, Division B, in Lincoln and Union Parishes. We talk about why judges age out at 70, why the criminal backlog is nothing new, and his plan for special plea days to clear crowded dockets. He shares stories from 37 years on both sides of the courtroom, explains how plea offers and victims' input really work, and answers Glenn's question on experience and Dwayne's question on whether a crime is against the victim or the state.

TJP_FULL_Episode_1728_Friday_100226_Conspiracy_Friday_without_Charlotte_and_with_the_Dangerous_Duo
On today's episode, Conspiracy Friday is a two-man show with just James and Dwayne. Glenn is out donating blood for a friend facing a second Whipple surgery, and Charlotte is in the filename again but not on the mic. The soft open brings the first Pacific front, Almanac wet-fall talk, and a Hoover Dam low-water detour. Then Trump's Secret Service grounds the aircraft, so he storm-chases an Oklahoma rally in the Beast at reported hundred-mile-an-hour caravan speeds. Add NASA's Cybertruck launch-pad escape buy and a free-for-all look at 2028. JD Vance's "this isn't about policy differences" sets up a control-versus-freedom hour: felonies by accident, Dwayne's West Monroe brewery traffic stop, and Milton Friedman on welfare and borders. James walks through Cornell's fraternity case and whether AOC crossed the New York Times v. Sullivan line, Lindsey Clancy versus California's dog-lady pile-on, and Tennessee's botched lethal injection that left the inmate snoring until someone dialed 911. America.gov as an election-cheat honey pot sets up the centerpiece: flydubai from Dubai to Tel Aviv, with a knife-wielding copilot, a stabbed pilot who still sounded the alarm, an Israeli plumber who pulled the jet out of a dive, and off-duty pilots who landed it without a working tail. The room calls it a miracle, while the false-flag theories stay just that. Maple Street Blend at PJ's Exit 33, Lewis Jones on Monday, and maybe Mayor Walker Tuesday. Don't miss it!

TJP_FULL_Episode_1727_Thursday_100126_Technology_Thursday_with_the_Fearsome_Five.mp3
On today's episode, Technology Thursday with the Fearsome Threesome opens in the green room with Dwayne walking Mark through why the latest SpaceX Starship flight was not the "egg on face" the anti-Musk press claims. One engine never lit, the Raptor bells look like brass instruments, and twenty-six V3 Starlink satellites each carry wings the size of a 787's. They preview America.gov, Big Balls at DOGE, Delta's Starlink fight, and Bill Gates eating crow on semis. The soft open brings belated birthdays for David and Mark, titanium-rod war stories, and a long crypto table: 82% of Bitcoin buyers above water, cycle talk and a possible pullback to $70k, Ondo, Link, and HBAR chop, Clarity Act skepticism, John Kennedy's "ripples," tokenization, XRP and BlackRock ETF noise that still doesn't move the chart, Tether versus audited USDC, cold-wallet self-custody, and liquidity-pool yields. Dwayne returns for the America.gov deep dive: Grok-powered federal forms, Big Balls as project lead, government silos merged into one, an election "we're watching you," and a privacy filter Mark won't buy. Then Mark teases ten ways AI could destroy humanity before he has to drop. The second half hits Louisiana Tech's athletics bubble, a Tom Sawyer literacy bit with James's grandson, Toyota's forever-next-year solid-state battery versus James's near-empty Tesla range from Minnesota, and a full PJ's Coffee Exit 33 plug capped by the Latinas and lattes gag. Don't miss it!

TJP_FULL_Episode_1726_Wednesday_93026_James_and_the_Giant_Preacher.mp3
On today's episode, James sits down with Pastor Jimmy Williams, the Giant Preacher, with a Dwayne sighting, vacuum-fueled hibernation and harvest festivaling in the green room, and a "stone the crows" lyric from Joseph before they land on anger. They start with a Science Alert piece showing that venting and punching bags don't reduce anger. From there it's Jimmy's own anger-management story after a motorcycle brain injury, cognitive behavioral therapy, and a caution on yoga from Matthew 12 and Ratzinger: clear the mind, then fill it with the Spirit, not nothingness. They draw the line between righteous indignation and sinful wrath with the Didache, the money-changers cheating pilgrims at the temple, David venting to God in the Psalms, and Robert Duvall's night prayer in The Apostle that stopped short of forgiveness. The second half runs CBT through timber rattlers and cottonmouth myths, the Holy Spirit as the Christian difference, Glenn's Cyberbeast road rage and "let Jesus solve it," James's legal-assistant scare and rose-bush "mosquito" drill, a fake-temper cat-litter toe, Patton-style coaching indignation, and Dwayne's count of 228 anger passages in the Old Testament against 4 in the New. It all lands on Ephesians 4:26–27: be angry and sin not, and don't let the sun go down on the cause. Then a full PJ's Coffee Exit 33 plug for a peaceful place to pray it out. Don't miss it!

On today's episode, Legal Tuesday with James, Dwayne, and Ben on the phone. Glenn is stuck on mute and cussing on the drive back from the Illuminati conference, so the green room reboots the Roadie mic and rolls without him. The guys open on the opposite of Musk: Bill Gates as an overrated Silicon Valley pirate, Ben's man-on-the-street chatter about GMO ticks and alpha-gal bioterror, and Dwayne's Grok cleanup showing three different tick species got mixed together. Then the real rocket story. Yesterday's Starbase flight lost a Raptor, burned the rest longer, dispensed 26 V3 Starlinks, hit real orbit, and still got painted as a blowup, plus a 50-foot French bronze Prometheus now guarding the Starbase gate like a half-size Statue of Liberty. DOGE's NGO money hose, teens trending straight again, Trump's swimming-pool meme for the briefing room, the Fox, Dominion, and Tucker fallout, and Bartiromo with Nick Shirley on X set up the pocketbook and case cards. That includes Abbott's 90-day red-dye diesel relief for farmers, Louisiana's push for a 90-day diesel export pause, the higher-ed bubble with Tech's Henderson out and Trump's ban on loans for degrees that don't pay, D.C.'s CVS-unlock crime index, Fetterman's "lifelong Republican" slip, SCOTUS knocking Missouri's map back, and the voter-database green light that keeps the rolls in play. Add midterm optimism, Dearborn, pocket rescission, and PJ's Exit 33 on Maple Street. Don't miss it!

On today's Monday News with the Fearsome Foursome, James, Glenn (still in Kansas City after the Illuminati economy conference), and Dwayne sit down with Ruston mayoral candidate William Faulkner (vs 12-year incumbent Ronny Walker) for a full-show town hall. They clear the Sound and the Fury, "Parker," and "Field father" gags, then get into Faulkner's Air Force contracting and Treasury Office of Financial Research path home, the Lincoln Parish Park trailer romance, and a tornado bond with James's old neighbors. Dwayne's Chair Force parallel and "big little town vs growth" sports-car question lead into a Rust Town naming pop quiz, Made-in-Ruston jobs for tech grads already here, LA Tech's presidential retirement and the summer restaurant crash, and Glenn's Waffle House Index FEMA lore (plus James's Superdome theory). Then comes a long honest fight over a public pool, year-to-year capital budgets, and why Ruston still lacks a multi-year capital improvement plan. Faulkner would knock the Flock cameras down for privacy, beef police starting pay off about $38k, and try volunteer park patrols after Huckleberry. They dig Walker's headcount claims, "communication controls imagination," AI as staffer not mayor (Grok agents eating the file-clerk job), Friday-agenda records traps, stacked sales taxes, and Faulkner's solemn promise of two town halls two months before any tax election. A Milton Friedman AI fact-check fail, a capitalism sequel tease, the I-20 bridge flag, Maple Street energy at PJ's Exit 33, and Legal Tuesday tomorrow close it out. Don't miss it!

On today's Conspiracy Friday, James, Glenn, Mark LaGrone, and Dwayne (Charlotte is in the filename again, not on the mic) send Glenn toward Kansas City in an antique car for what the room insists is the Illuminati economy conference. Then they hit Bitget's claimed North Korea $352M hot-wallet hack and cold-wallet homework, book Ruston mayoral candidate William Faulkner for Monday and his city-band platform, roll through about 200,000 B1/B2 visa cancellations for asylum double-dippers, and turn a lesbian bar's six-day mask meltdown into the joke round of the week. MedBeds and measles doomerism get laughed at hard. Dwayne's family bought the QAnon beds. James still wants taken out back if measles is the hill. Trump's presidential-walk Autopin for Xi splits the room (Glenn skeptical, Mark zero-imagination yes, Dwayne's live check says the non-slapstick clip looks legit). Netanyahu's UN beeper and "moral cowards" line land next to Sen. John Kennedy's reptiles one-liner. After Mark peels off, Dwayne finally answers Thursday's "what's a node?" tease with audit checkboxes, home hardware, and claimed Starlink XRP nodes. Then come Sunny Hostin's View bombshell, an LA-mayor-worse-than-Bass scare, Jenner and Musk transition-regret media framing, Sydney Sweeney's equity-stake betting ad, a claimed Anthropic doomer plant, real DOJ Trump-case turnover numbers, Judge Kelly's press-pass TRO climbdown that Trump played like Patton at Palermo, a midterms "Dems are broke and the mail is watched" pep talk, and a water-well pop quiz that proves Dwayne knows pumps. Maple Street Blend, Exit 33, and Monday's mayor close it out. Don't miss it!
