Tariffs and Manholes | First Hour of Grand Strand Live with Banana Jack Murphy and James Bierley (6/03/25)

From record-breaking tariff revenue to rogue manhole covers, Jack and James cover it all, economics, pothole strategy, and the shocking idea that some folks in high places might not have anything in their noggins. Plus, interns are finally in the studio (doing something), and James tries to stay sane for three straight hours (Good Luck, James!!) 

Banana Jack Murphy and James Bierley bring you unfiltered talk, sharp takes, and a whole lot of fun. Buckle up for bold opinions, political banter, and a dash of cowboy flair.  Whether it's politics, culture, or just a wild ride through the day's biggest stories, they serve it up with humor, grit, and a no-nonsense attitude.

Only on Talk 94.5 & 106.7!
