The Pool Itself
Concrete vs. fiberglass vs. vinyl liner — a debate Jay considers more important than most national elections. Tile choices. Coping styles. The moral collapse of the kidney-shape revival.
Online radio's loudest, soggiest morning show. Crazy Jay hijacks your commute with four hours of wild opinions, listener call-ins, and a pathological obsession with everything that touches pool water.
"Some men collect cars. Some collect stamps. I collect water-clarity readings. I am not ashamed."
Fifteen years on the mic. Three pool-industry trade-show bans. One self-published manifesto titled "The Skimmer Doctrine." Jay woke up one morning, realized nobody on radio was talking about cyanuric acid with the urgency it deserves, and built a whole show to fix it.
Mornings on MFC are equal parts pool-supply rant, listener therapy, and unsolicited advice you didn't ask for but secretly needed.
Three topics. Four hours. Every weekday. The trinity that powers the Morning Fun Club universe and the only things Jay will discuss without being heavily incentivized.
Concrete vs. fiberglass vs. vinyl liner — a debate Jay considers more important than most national elections. Tile choices. Coping styles. The moral collapse of the kidney-shape revival.
Chlorine levels. pH. Alkalinity. Cyanuric acid. Calcium hardness. The five horsemen of a clear backyard. Jay will explain why your test strips are lying to you, in detail, at 9:14 AM sharp.
Skimmers. Robots. Salt cells. Pucks. Floaters. Shock packets. Every Friday is "Product Roast Friday" — Jay holds new releases up to the light and judges them with the fury of a man who has seen too much.
Four segments. Four hours. One unhinged host. All times Eastern.
Headlines, hot takes, and one (1) chemistry rant before Jay's had his second coffee. Dangerously caffeinated. Listener discretion advised.
An hour of listener calls. 70% pool emergencies, 30% Jay explaining why their pool guy is committing crimes.
The long-form segment. One topic, deeply over-examined. Past episodes: "Is Pool Shock Sentient?" and "Solar Covers: A History of Disappointment."
Jay reviews new pool products and grades them with a system only he understands. Some get the gold pool noodle. Most do not.
Jay wants to hear it. Green water. Mystery leaks. A neighbor who insists chlorine is a hoax. A vacuum hose with self-esteem issues. Anything. Bring it to the show.
Show recaps, pool-product hot takes, and Jay's strongest opinions of the week — delivered to your inbox every Sunday so you can ruin a brunch with them.
