28 JUL 2023 · It’s been a good ride, Mile High! But it’s time for one of us to move on down the road, and the remaining two to aim bigger. We close a chapter of the show today, but that doesn’t mean we won’t still give you all the goofy news-ish content you crave to kick off your weekend in style. Here we go:
*Cocaine sharks! That’s right, cocaine sharks! In something out of an episode of Miami Vice, waters off of Florida are contaminated with cocaine, which has the sharks all messed up. Who would win in a fight: Cocaine Bear or Cocaine Shark? Probably depends on the venue… Full story https://www.ndtv.com/feature/cocaine-sharks-may-be-feasting-on-drugs-dumped-off-the-coast-of-florida-experts-4232950.
*Jon gives a rundown of the recent Punk Rock Saves Lives Festival at Ratio Beerworks and tells a heartwarming story about a mosh pit.

*Are you a renter? Then you’ve got extra rights now! We break them down for you, and you can see the full thing for yourself https://kdvr.com/news/local/renters-will-have-a-few-extra-rights-starting-in-august/.
*Three minutes is all it took for another round of vouchers to get an e-bike to be claimed. If you didn’t get one, walk your butt to the bus stop, we guess. Read more about it https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/it-only-took-3-minutes-for-all-of-denver-s-e-bike-vouchers-to-be-claimed/ar-AA1emfd4.
*Twitter rebranded suddenly to “X.” And they want to do your banking for you! Yeah, ok. More about this whole fiasco https://www.businessinsider.com/history-behind-elon-musk-x-brand-that-may-replace-twitter-2023-7.

*Hey! Don't drive into a flooded road! That doesn't seem like something we need to remind you of, but apparently no amount of reminding is too much given that first responders had to rescue some folks in the last rainstorm. Come on! But thanks to our first responders, who rule. Full story https://ourcommunitynow.com/news-local/drivers-rescued-from-flooded-denver-roads.
*Wimbledon is happening! Jon gives his tennis picks, and we all weigh in on obscure events from around the globe that we'd like to attend before we die.
*Gird your gag reflex because Joey Chestnut took home his 16th consecutive Mustard Belt by devouring 62 hot dogs in 10 minutes. Yuck. But impressive! https://www.wcluradio.com/2023/07/05/joey-chestnut-wins-16th-title-in-nathans-hot-dog-eating-contest-2023/.

9 JUN 2023 · It's a splendid Friday here in the Mile High, so roll those windows down, crank up some tunes, and gaze at the bizarre billboard of two deer looking at an ancient desktop computer (apparently) searching for Denver's best and weirdest news-ish podcast. Arthur, Jon and Kevin are here to kick off your weekend right proper. Here's what we cover this week:
*In the genre of "Things Too Stupid To Exist" you can file away "Billboard for a Podcast." What can we say? We take big swings around here, and that's worth talking about as a life philosophy.
*Denver has a new Mayor in Michael Johnston. This marks Denver's 2nd consecutive mayor named "Michael." He promises to end chronic homelessness in his first term. Bold! We wish him luck and remain cautiously optimistic about the change. The Denver Post has a good story about him https://www.denverpost.com/2023/06/06/denver-mayor-election-results-kelly-brough-mike-johnston-runoff/?clearUserState=true.
*The PGA Tour ignored its months of lip service bad-mouthing LIV Golf and took a metric ton of money from the Saudi Public Investment Fund to "combine" with the rogue tour. Money talks, we guess. Here's a charmingly sardonic article from https://www.theringer.com/2023/6/6/23751515/pga-tour-liv-golf-merger-saudi-arabian-public-investment-fund-jay-monahan about it.
*Where are the best sopaipillas in Denver? Yelp has its answer and we talk about it. Original article https://kdvr.com/news/local/best-sopaipillas-in-denver-according-to-reviews/.
*"Everyday is The Truman Show and We're All Insane" is the article title from The AV Club noting the 25th anniversary of the film and how it foretold a scary amount of our culture in 2023, the year of our lord. Full article https://www.avclub.com/everyday-is-the-truman-show-and-everyone-is-insane-1850499647?mibextid=Zxz2cZ.
*The 88 is Denver's last drive-in movie theatre, and we have thoughts. Full article https://www.westword.com/news/commerce-city-88-drive-in-owner-wants-to-close-theater-warehouse-development-17024256.
*The future of Bear Creek Lake hangs in the balance, and we preach civic engagement. Full story about the fate of the lake https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/future-bear-creek-lake-park-reservoir-storage-lakewood-army-corps-engineers/.
*Keri Cotterman has created an online community to help those navigating cancer. We love seeing people do good work, and we salute her. Full story https://kdvr.com/news/local/denver-woman-creates-online-community-to-help-those-navigating-through-cancer/.
*Arthur shares a very personal story about how important discipline is in getting to where you ultimately want to go, and the other guys weigh in.
*In our last segment, we share our picks for things to do this weekend including Save Ferris playing ska at the Gothic, the Denver Chalk Art Festival, and the Five Points Jazz Festival.

19 MAY 2023 · It's Friday! Happy Friday! Let's get to the weekend with a big ol' spoonful of fun, some stories, some news, a story of Kevin eating a moth, a mispronounced Florida town, and the best damn theme song in the history of podcasting. Here's what we talk about:
*In this week's weirdest story, a couple rode a Lime scooter in tandem down I-70 in the pouring rain in the morning. That's way too many elements to be real, but it is! We talk about it, and Westword has a great article about it https://www.westword.com/news/denver-scooter-ride-highway-traffic-rain-16847756.
*In this week's funniest story, a drunk dude in Springfield got pulled over for a DUI and tried to change places with the passenger. The only problem? The passenger was his dog. Full story https://www.westword.com/news/dui-dog-that-changed-seats-with-drunk-owner-joins-colorados-doggy-hall-of-fame-16869564.
*Speaking of dogs, how do you feel about dogs on restaurant patios? We weigh in, and here's https://apnews.com/article/dogs-outdoor-dining-restaurants-960c2c45b4363f6e80a79a8c02dcb216 that inspired the talk.
*Do you return your shopping cart to the corral in the parking lot? If not, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClMUlr8yHymYgSe58DpUH7w might be on your case.
*We talk all things mushrooms because apparently mushroom season is here! Story https://kdvr.com/news/local/colorado-mushroom-season-is-early-this-year-experts-say.
*Miller moth invasion! We share a ton of weird stories about moths and this episode gets increasingly strange.
*In this week's sexiest story, https://kdvr.com/news/local/how-to-report-potholes-in-colorado/ where you can report potholes in your neighborhood!
*Listen to Art try and pronounce the name of the Florida town that's most house-poor. How's Denver rank? More https://kdvr.com/news/data/over-30-of-denver-is-considered-house-poor/.
*RIP to https://www.espn.com/espn/betting/story/_/id/37651901/doyle-brunson-10-world-series-poker-champion-dies-age-89. Also here us talk about our own poker skills.
*Nuggets, Interrupters at the Fillmore and the new Fast X movie are what's going on this weekend.
