    This is the Place: Jell-O with the Senator

    Robert  J. Debry is claiming that not all Utahns love green Jell-O. Senator  Mike Lee hosts an event called "Jell-O with the Senator" because he  believes the opposite. Who should be believed? In other Utah news: the  town of Dutch John is sick of being a town, and a man hits an elk on  I-80 and has his chin pierced by an antler.

A woman poisons her roommate with bacteria found on the darkweb. And if you're interested in getting divorced, there is now a  very cheap solution.

    This is the Place: Attention Teens, Please Stop Poaching!

    A bear is killed illegally in Southern Utah and the DWR gives it to Mountain View High as a reminder to not poach. A disgruntled boyfriend tries to turn his ex in for a crime and gets arrested himself, and teens vandalize UVU because that's what teens do.

    This is the Place: Hey Sexy Mama

    This is the Place: Bullfrogs Are Not the Same as Bulldogs

    Bullfrogs  (NOT BULLDOGS) are taking over Utah. The DWR wants you to kill them and  we can't decide if we agree. Bullfrog pros: great golf caddies, don't  spread disease to humans, circular eardrums, musically gifted. Bullfrog  cons: kill all amphibians, might not taste great boiled. You decide where you stand on the issue.

    This is the Place: Guy Fieri, Country Music Star Collin Raye, & Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes Walk Into A Bar

    Guy  Fieri, country music star Collin Raye, and Utah Attorney General Sean  Reyes joined forces for a concert in Cedar City, UT. It was as horrific  as it sounds. Sean broke off a rap that wasn't his best, which we  discuss at great lengths. In other news, an errant frisbee toss is met  by a loaded gun and The Diaper Guy talks with the local news.

    This is the Place: I've Switched Political Parties Because I Have No Integrity

    People  are kissing their chicks and the CDC is not pleased. Utahns (including  Meg) are changing their political affiliation and Republican Chairman  Derek Brown is not pleased. Paleontologists are discovering fossils from  151 million years ago and Chris is not pleased. And the mayor of  Kaysville goes head-to-head with the city council because no one is  pleased.

    This is the Place: A Smell that Penetrates

    Aliens  are flying down from space and mutilating cows. We think. The  5-year-old boy who went driving in search of a Lamborghini makes his  triumphant return and one local columnist is NOT pleased. A  "penetrating" smell returns to North Salt Lake, much to the  embarrassment of the sewer district. Yes, they're people too.
