After years of back and forth, the Nevada Commission on Ethics and Governor Joe Lombardo have finally ⁠settled their dispute⁠ over his use of LVMPD "accoutrements" in campaign materials (like his sheriff's badge and uniform) — and what started as a $1.6 million fine has dropped down to a $5,000 "donation." So was the complaint justified to begin with, and what precedent does this settlement set? Executive producer Sonja Cho Swanson talks it out with Battle Born Progress press secretary Jacob Solis and Hey Las Vegas newsletter editor Rob Kachelriess. They also discuss the fallout from state senator Edgar Flores's ⁠DUI charge⁠ and the "fabulous" 5-day Las Vegas hospitality ⁠sale⁠ that maybe, just maybe, fell a little flat.

On August 24th, the state of Nevada became aware of a major cyberattack on government computers — critical systems like the DMV, Medicare, and employment were taken offline for days or even weeks. Some state websites are still down. So today, a month on, why do we know so little about the attack, and has the governor's office been too tight-lipped? Or are they just trying to protect our systems against other attacks? Jessica Hill, reporter at the Review-Journal, and Steve Sebelius, senior political reporter at Channel 13, have been following the story since it broke, and tell co-host Dayvid Figler what we know, what we don't, and how it could affect Nevadans.

"Showgirls" turns 30 this year, and while it was panned on release, it’s since earned a reputation as a cult classic. Las Vegas film critic Josh Bell of Awesome Movie Year joins co-host Dayvid Figler for a wild ride through the glittery, gritty, and gloriously unhinged legacy of perhaps the most misunderstood Vegas film of all time. They debate whether it’s genius satire or just a beautiful mess, unpack its connection to Las Vegas myth-making, and even give some love (and shade) to "The Last Showgirl" and "Leprechaun 3."

From Jimmy Kimmel to CCSD teachers, a realtor, and a pizzeria worker — Las Vegans are facing career repercussions for their commentary on Charlie Kirk's murder, even on their personal social media. In the meantime, Station Casinos is facing criticism for putting up a memorial to Kirk on their marquee signs — but also fielded threats to destroy the sign from a Henderson man in response. Co-host Dayvid Figler and producer Layla Muhammad discuss the politicization of Kirk's death in Southern Nevada with Nevada Current deputy editor April Corbin Girnus. They also break down NV Energy's new rate hikes, and dig into the lawsuit a spurned man has filed against an exotic dancer — was he really scammed, or just heartbroken?
