Episode 92. Damn the man, Save the Empire!

Standard

With only 1 week left on the legislative session, we can’t help but celebrate that at bill was passed to get rid of the condescending, “this is a bar, not a restaurant” signs that have been plaguing our cities in Utah. However, Jeremy did come up with the best bar name ever and if anyone decides to utilize, “This is a bar, not a Restaurant” we just ask to get a little bit of credit.

With only 1 week left in the session, there will be over 500+ bills passed. Each week we’ve kept you up to date with a recap of some of what is important on the Utah hill. From more ecological ways for cremation, allowing breast-feeding in public, and cyclists being able to run through red lights if it is safe, we make sure to give you our opinions on what is happening!

This week we also celebrated, at the dismay of Chris, the 50th anniversary of Purple Turtle!

 

Jessica’s favorite Italian restaurant in Utah is moving across town. Per Noi Trattoria has taken over the old Michelangelo’s location at 3005 Highland Drive. Going from their quaint little space in Sugarhouse, they will now be able to accommodate twice as much, if not more, business! If you want some of the best Italian food you can find in Utah, this is the place! Click HERE for their menu.

Do you know if the city you live in is in Utah’s top safest cities? Lucky for you, we went through the list of Utah’s safest cities this week, so know you can know! Did you also know that Utah/Salt Lake City is one of the top best places for LGBT seniors? Q Salt Lake Magazine broke down the cities and Salt Lake is in the top 15 best!

A lot of talk is going on in our country about gun control after the Florida shooting two weeks ago. We decided because it is relevant and could happen in Utah at anytime that we need to have a discussion about it. Where do you stand?

Episode 90 Who farms when the farmer is sick?

Standard

This week we were going to be joined by the elusive Farmer Luke of Petersen Farms, but the illness struck and we will have him on in a few weeks for farm talk! Instead you get to listen to us talk about hoarding mother-in-laws, if Jeremy should bee keep again, our house projects, and how Bob Costas is a douchebag. Or is he?

In the spirit of the Olympics we made sure this week to dive deep into important topics, like that the Olympics hands out well over 450,000 condoms, that STD’s run rampant, and most important; Olympic sports that are so obscure you have probably never heard of them, brought to you by the Huffington Post. Ski ballet should definitely make a come back.
