Clay is back from the dead and he's bringing his friend Ryan into the mix! An email Ryan sent to the Athletic Director at Oklahoma State University (our alma mater) was used in a long-form story recently in USA Today about the Nike ad campaign featuring Colin Kaepernick. We discuss this and more in The Most Okayest Podcast's return to domination!

Guess who's back, bitches!?!?! Yeah, it's Clay...not DJ Shadow or some other epic performer, but he is locked and loaded to spit hot fire on everything current--even if he gets names wrong. Intention is everything. Plus, there's a bit of parenting advice and affirmation at the end. Don't miss the triumphant return of America's most okayest podcast!

Welcome to the first annual holiday recovery party that my wife & I have hosted! It was a great night for all who attended, and this episode puts you right there with us...so pour an adult beverage and get ready to argue about Batman, as well as who is going to end up as the most inebriated party guest.

This week, Clay joins Justin on his show, the Off Day Podcast. The fellas cover a lot of ground, covering mental health, the inception of our podcasts, and a little bit of the game "get trashed with/be roommates with/kill". We crushed it. Enjoy! *Interview recorded via Skype and my crappy ass laptop microphone. Thanks to Justin for creating some magic here. Music credits: FlashKit beds & loops, mixed by yours truly

To get you into 2018 in the most informed way imaginable, Clay sifts through some of the" best of the worst" in terms of local/regional offerings at Zuckerberg's bosom. Have a listen for some of the precious finds and prepare to be wowed! Music credits: FlashKit creators, and mixed by yours truly

Hey, hey, hey podcast fiends! A few little nuggets of info on some important and interesting developments with the show that your don't wanna miss out on. Bust out your earbuds, be sure you're subscribed to the podcast, and keep your eyes on your podcast feeds to see new, full-length episodes coming up here in the next few weeks. Thanks for all the support and happy holidays! Music credits: Geto Boys - My Mind Is Playing Tricks On Me Pearl Jam - Immortality

It has been too long since we last heard from each other, listeners! Between some very annoying technical issues (some of which pop up in this recording, so I apologize in advance) and other pressing matters, the show is kind of behind schedule. So, without further ado, I present this episode a couple of weeks late to discuss ‘Mindhunter’, ‘Slasher’ and ‘Stranger Things 2’. I also want to give a big thanks to Barry from the Extraordinary Stories Podcast, who you will hear from at the beginning of the show as he promotes his podcast to you as a new audience. Go and check him out…after listening to this first, obviously. Also on the docket for this week, I climb atop my soap box and shame a recent discussion on a podcast support Facebook group who wasted my brain cells and time in an attempt to run down one of my loves, The Last Podcast On the Left. I had to cut it from the show because of the compromised recording, but I did wag a judging finger at the people who are going out of their way to mock the way Tracy Pauley speaks on ‘Hillbilly Horror Stories’…I have no patience for jackals like that! So, gather around and enjoy this installment of the most okayest show to ever grace your eardrums.

At long last, I get my lifelong friend Ryan Snow on the show to reminisce about days gone by, college hijinks, becoming husbands and dads, and how we still enjoy a good jam band and the “shakedown street” scene at Phish concerts. Hopefully, our wives still love us after our story time reveals how much we’ve really and truly evolved. I’m also pleased to include a promo for the Well Kept and Unclean podcast on the front end of this episode – go give them a listen later and have some laughs! Music Credits: The Revivalists – It Was A Sin Peter, Bjorn John – Young Folks

This week, I pull back the curtain on the pro-Trump faction of the porn industry and share my recent experiences as an Uber driver. I also tie a bow on the kneeling for the anthem action within the NFL. I also am beginning to have some other promos for different podcasts that you as a listener should give a try; they support me and I support them. We're all about the grass roots movement here. Click, download and listen...and please rate review this bad mamma jamma! Music Credits: Andrew Bird - Imitosis Ryan Adams - Come Pick Me Up

This week, I pay homage to the victims of the Las Vegas mass shooting and call out the flawed nature of gun laws in America, as well as some words on the dire straits of Tom Petty’s health (he passed after the recording of this episode was finished, full disclosure). I also pimp slap everyone on every side of the NFL stand/kneel/stay-in-the-locker room brouhaha. Listen in and get some additional perspectives. I’m fired up and ready to help illuminate you myself…we gonna learn today. Music Credits: Two Door Cinema Club – Undercover Martyn Wilco – I Am Trying to Break Your Heart

Clay invites his friend, David, back to the show to crack into some alien subject matter. Literally. Tabby's Star, artificial intelligence, how did pyramids get here before man came into being...we're gonna learn today. It's a bevy of sci-fi stuff that'll flip your wig. Enjoy! Music credits: Say Hi To Your Mom - Sweet Sweet Heartkiller Walla - 101

Gonna be making a few changes to the show and it's in the interest of transparency that I share them with you right here and now! Click away!

Catching up on some (kind of) current events, Clay blasts a multimillion dollar fraud in televangelist, Joel Osteen, for his ineffectual, slower-than-molasses response to the city where he “serves” upon the arrival of Hurricane Harvey. He pivots to fantasy football, the Auto-Drafting feature of the game, and why you should always check your junk email folder, and then the show closes with a real downer…the torture and death of Japan’s Junko Furuta. It’s graphic and probably not what you want to hear if you’re having a good day (or a bad one). Don’t say I didn’t warn you, because I did both here and in the show itself. Buckle up.

We're back at the cabin! This time, Clay is joined by one of his best friends, David Weber, and the episode also features the return of his wife, Meredith...if only for a little while. Body hair removal, David and Clay reflecting on their friendship's history, and some chatter about lamb fries and cow testicles..it's all here for the taking. Sit back and pop open an IPA as these characters get personal and inebriated. Music Credits: Daft Punk-Give Life Back to Music Widespread Panic-Lawyers, Guns and Money (W. Zevon cover)

This week, Clay invites his former roommate and coworker onto the show for all things NFL, except the actual picking of games, playcalling, or anything on the field unless it has to do with Colin Kaepernick. There were some recording issues but they’re all left in for cringe-worthy moments, as Clay does his best to not edit any of the recording…because of technical issues and time constraints (and he may have been lazy?). Please don’t let it affect your leaving of a 5-Star review, though; it’s a fun episode. And the recording does become easier to hear both of the guys around the 16-minute mark…although skipping ahead would omit some fun storytelling. Enjoy the show! PS-Both Clay and Brad neglect to even check the college football schedule to realize that Bedlam (Oklahoma vs Oklahoma State) football isn't the last game of the season in 2017. It's in the middle of the season. These guys are definitely amateurs.

Howdy, partners! The long overdue episode is here at last! This week, Clay takes a stab at giving you the broad strokes on Gangstalking and some opening remarks on Charlottesville, ANTIFA, and the Alt-Right. WARNING: if you're a snowflake for either end of the spectrum, you may be a bit ticked off and should probably skip the first 5+ minutes. Enjoy! Music credits: Arcade Fire - Everything Now Pearl Jam - Pilate

This week, Clay invites his longtime friend, Katie Henricks, onto the show for an extensive chat that runs the gamut between marriage, single-mom life, orgasmic meditation, the website OMGYes, and much, much more. Join the show’s imperative conversation about how sexuality is something which the human mind craves and wants to discuss, and witness how Katie Clay take a bat to our prudish indoctrinations. Turn the lights down low, pour some wine and spark up a…candle? It’s time to get our learn on! Music credits: Houndmouth - Sedona M83 - Midnight City Bloc Party - This Modern Love

Racketeering, planting of drugs, death of a suspect while in police custody…just a handful of the atrocities for which the Baltimore Police Department needs to be eviscerated and overhauled. This week, Clay concludes his first two-part series, covering the city of Baltimore…and if you’re not pissed off by hearing more about the banner examples he holds up for discussion, tell him why…the evidence of egregious criminal behavior coming from within is just as harmful as the behavior they are in place to curb on the streets. Welcome back to crab cake country, as Clay takes on the lowlife dirtbags in the Baltimore Police Department!

This week, Clay kicks off his first two-parter! Yes, you will probably not want a history lesson, but you can't tell very good stories without some exposition thrown in the mix, too. This week's episode is just that: some background. The city of Baltimore, Maryland has had many prolific firsts for the United States of America, while having some of the most maddening news headlines regarding police corruption and unethical behavior towards the community the department is in place to serve. Join Clay, as we head to the East Coast and discover more on what the British themselves once called "a nest of pirates".

Clay gets political...and some will love it, some won't, and many will probably skip this episode that has some glitches which came along by editing until 2am in order to get the episode out on it's NEW Friday-exclusive release date. Enjoy Music credits: I Cut Like a Buffalo - Dead Weather Sabrosa - Beastie Boys

Clay tackles news, pop culture and politics in rapid succession on this week's show...and he clearly doesn't care for the Kardashian family or the sea turtle that is the Senate Majority Leader. Music credits: Talking Heads-Crosseyed and Painless Urge Overkill-Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon

It's a bonus episode for your earholes! Clay sits down with his wife at a cabin in the woods to discuss pediatricians, fireworks, and memories from childhood. Music credits: The Airborne Toxic Event-All at Once Miike Snow-Cult Logic

Episode 2 is finally here! Clay is back from vacation and can't wait to talk about murderous orcas, Sloth's psycho real-life doppleganger, Trump and The Morning Joe debacle. Music Credits: The Black Angels-Young Men Dead The French Kicks-The Trial of the Century

Introductory episode--we're off and running! Music Credits: Pearl Jam-Do The Evolution RJD2-Ghostwriter
