In Episode 91 of The Chris and Mike Show, Mike and I are joined by our good friend Jake Green for a wide-ranging and wildly entertaining conversation. We dive into everything from the quirks of language and college radio to the high-speed adrenaline rush of stock car racing.
Jake shares his journey through mass communications and the unique world of college broadcasting—covering everything from high school basketball tournaments to the creative freedom of running his own show. We also get into the value of hands-on experience in education, professionalism in media, and even the nerve-racking world of skills competitions.
From there, the conversation shifts gears (literally) into Jake’s racing career. He opens up about his start in go-karts, his leap to stock cars, and the real-life dangers that come with high-speed thrills. We talk about the psychology of racing, the evolution of safety gear, and how drivers bounce back after a crash.
Of course, it wouldn’t be The Chris and Mike Show without a deep dive into music, pop culture, and some good old-fashioned conspiracy theories. We touch on the JFK assassination, dark humor, the legacy of legends like John Mellencamp, and the influence of childhood TV shows like The Wonder Years. There’s even some love for John Candy and a few laughs about personal lookalikes.
This episode is packed with laughs, insights, and stories that connect the dots between media, music, and motorsports. Don’t miss it.
