🎙️ EP 315: Hostage Tape, Joe Rogan Shoutouts & WTF Amazon?!

This week, we are switching it up.

No solo rant. No Jared nonsense.
Just a rare (and actually awesome) interview with a guy who turned tape into a sleep revolution.

Meet Alex Neist — former pro quarterback turned founder of Hostage Tape, the mouth tape taking over your TikTok, your sleep routine, and apparently, Joe Rogan’s nightstand.

• The wild story behind the name Hostage Tape (it’s exactly what you think... and not at all).

• Why Amazon banned them—and what that says about winning big and breaking rules.

• The real benefits of mouth taping (better sleep, better health, maybe even saving your marriage).

• Why top ENT doctors are now recommending Hostage Tape instead of surgery.

• Getting the Joe Rogan stamp of approval (and how UFC fighters are in on it).

• Alex’s journey from divorce and burnout to reconciliation, reinvention, and running one of the hottest brands in wellness right now.

This convo hits different. It’s fun, smart, real—and yes, it’ll probably make you tape your mouth shut tonight. (On purpose.)

Check out the tape at: www.hostagetape.com

And shoutout to Alex Neist for being a killer guest with a killer story.

🎧 Tune in now. Your sleep (and possibly your marriage) depends on it.

🎙️ EP 315: Hostage Tape, Sleep Hacks & Why Amazon Hates This Guy💥 What We Got Into:🔥 Jay’s Take:

🎙️ EP 314: Tennis Champs, Toxic Massages & the Return of Mel the Menace

New motto, new chaos, same unfiltered truth.
This episode is a full-body experience—like a massage that should’ve relaxed you but instead left you questioning everything about life and bathroom etiquette.
From Jared being a certified lunatic (again), to the gym being church, to why America’s mad at a 66-year-old man for liking hot women… let’s talk about it all.

💭 Jay’s New Motto:

"With a positive attitude and plenty of money, you can solve all your problems."
Is it deep? No.
Is it true? Absolutely.
Say it out loud. Now say it with your chest.

💩 Jared Update: Butthole of the Week

Sends me his “five-step process” for how he processes my answers to his own stupid questions. This is serial killer behavior.

Won a local tennis tournament and is now walking around like he’s sponsored by Nike.

BREAKING NEWS: He’s engaged. I can’t believe she said yes. But if this means I get fewer texts… God bless that woman.

🧴 Buzzed Buddy Update:

Fourth of July Sale: 20% OFF + Free Samples
Your liver’s best friend is throwing a party and you’re invited.
🎯 www.buzzedbuddy.com

💆‍♂️ Massage Horror Story:

100-minute massage. Thought I was treating myself.
Halfway through? Nature calls, chaos ensues.
I hate massages. I should’ve known better.

🎩 Butler Service = Life Upgrade

Is it bougie? Yes.
Do I care? Absolutely not.
Having someone fold your laundry while you sip espresso in a robe changes your entire outlook on life. 10/10. No notes.

🫣 What Are We Doing Out Here?!

Diddy out here being Diddy, and the receipts are nasty.
Hollywood is just Florida with a bigger budget. That’s all I’ll say.

🌹 The Golden Bachelor Debacle:

Look—I’ve been a Bachelor fan since day one, but this new Golden Bachelor guy, Mel Owens, is getting lit up just for saying he likes women with a certain look.
He’s 66, not dead. And if being honest is now cancelable, we’re all in trouble.

🏋️‍♂️ Why I Still Love the Gym:

I looked around mid-cardio and saw every walk of life—young, old, jacked, struggling, hopeful.
And I thought: THIS is the place.
Different people, one goal: get better.
If that doesn’t fire you up, check your pulse.

🍽️ Nutrition/Fitness Tip of the Week:

Magnesium spray on your feet before bed.
Sleep hits different when your nervous system chills the hell out.

🔥 Message of the Week:

Sit at the table of the dreamers, the go-getters, the star gazers, the warriors, the change makers. The conversation hits different. If you’re tired of small talk and fake vibes, maybe it’s time to change your damn table.

🎧 Press play now. Laugh, nod, cringe (at Jared), and maybe even re-evaluate your opinion on butler service.
This is Happy Hour… the Jay way.

🎙️ Episode 313: Bigfoot, Backstabbers & the Shoulder Press Circus Act

If you’ve ever helped someone just to have them turn around and villainize you like you're the season finale of a Netflix docuseries… congrats, you’re doing life right.
This episode hits on the wild world we’re living in—where gym bros are doing parkour, yetis are more trustworthy than humans, and the kindest thing you can do is just not be a jackass.

💥 Life Lesson of the Week:

“Right now, someone you’ve helped is telling people you’re a bad person.”
Ouch.
Here’s the deal: I’ve never been criticized by someone doing more in life than I am. Not once. Haters ain’t high performers. So next time someone throws dirt on your name, remember… you were just the villain in their drama-filled bedtime story.
Let ‘em talk. You’ve got sh*t to do.

🏆 Feel-Good Shoutouts of the Week:

#1: Murray State Baseball – From Mowing Grass to Omaha

• Tiny school. Underdog story.

• Coach Dan Skirka makes $68K, mows the lawn, and just led his team to the freakin’ College World Series.

• Hollywood couldn’t write a better script. Somebody option this story now.

#2: The Irsay Sisters Take the Helm in Indy

• After Jim Irsay’s passing, his daughters Carlie, Kalen, and Casey are stepping up to run the Colts.

• They were raised in this game, they know the turf, and Jay’s here for it.

• Let’s go ladies. New era. New energy. Let’s ride.

🤡 Gym Shenanigans:

Cirque du So-Bro
There’s always that guy—today he turned a shoulder press machine into a damn balance beam.
Between the clanking weights, the swinging legs, and the unnecessary grunting, it was either a workout or a live audition for American Ninja Warrior: Midlife Crisis Edition.

🧠 Jay’s New Guilty Obsession:

Bigfoot & Yeti Videos
Yeah, I said it. I’m hooked. I’m 30 feet deep in the algorithm and trusting those hilarious forest beasts more than the average dude with a podcast mic and a crypto scheme.
And if the Yeti runs for office in 2028, I might vote for him. No lie.

📺 What We’re Watching:

“The Four Seasons” with Steve Carell
Starts chill, ends wild. It’s like going to brunch and accidentally joining a cult. You think you know where it’s going—and then BAM, you’re emotionally wrecked by dessert.

🧘‍♂️ Message of the Week:

Kindness is the new rebellion.
The world’s on fire, politics are a mess, people are fighting with grocery carts online…

So be the calm in the chaos.

Hold a door. Say thank you. Tip heavy. Smile at someone.
None of this is complicated. Just don’t be a douchebag. That’s the rule.

🎧 Hit play and prepare to laugh, cringe, and feel slightly guilty about your own gym behavior.
This one’s got it all: truth bombs, baseball dreams, flying gym bros, and a few gentle jabs at humanity’s weirdest moments.

🔥 You know what to do.
