    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.

    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 is the place for you even if you no longer are at that place

Wild news, wild commentary, from a wild country. It’s just funny, and in this news climate it is refreshing. I don’t even live in Utah anymore and it brightens my day. Meg and Chris are delights. I listen on my bike ride to work, which now that I write it out loud sounds dangerous because I’m always laughing when I listen, hence I’m riding distracted...Let me rephrase, I used to listen to it on my bike ride to work, but now I ONLY listen responsibly.

Chris is the Worst

Listened to a few minutes and decided to unsubscribe. Chris annoyed me and said things that I think he thought were funny but were just rude. Love Meg and will continue to listen to her other podcasts.
