    It’s National Cheeseburger Day, and we’re talking about burger deals—including JCW’s—plus Cafe Rio’s new Utah-only Double Dip Fries, and the latest on Bruno the Park City K-9 coming home after surgery.

  • Measuring Things With Costco Hot Dogs, College Concierge Moms, + Where You Can't Park Your Scooter
     

    It's a busy day of Utah stories and weird questions, including Salt Lake City’s new geofenced parking rules for rental scooters, a black bear euthanized in Grand Teton after repeated food issues, and a foreclosure scam warning from Syracuse police. Ethan and Alex also talk about whether hiring a “local mom” to check on your college kid is supportive or over the top. Alex gets his Constitution knowledge tested for Constitution Day, plus how Utahns are changing their habits to save on gas. Most importantly, we break down the most important data center measurement of all: how many Costco hot dogs it would take to cover it, among other things, and how many Costco hot dogs a T-Rex would eat in a day.

    Dylan Guenther of the Utah Mammoths has a problem with Mattress Firm not delivering his mattress...and it turns out he may be the reason behind it. KSL Brightside dives into the latest airport rankings and where SLC makes the list, the very real trend of business travelers hiding out in their hotel rooms for a little off-the-clock peace, and Burger King’s “Le Nuggutte” micro bag that has chicken nugget fans demanding more.

  • The Fed Hikes Rates, K-9 Bruno Injury Update & Namemaxxing
    The Fed just raised interest rates — we break down what it means for your wallet. Plus, Singapore is literally paying its citizens to read books to fight "brain rot," and an AI tool is teaching kids to read (so why are some parents against it?). US household income just broke a 58-year record and St. George unveiled giant stainless-steel slides at city hall.  We get into the "namemaxxing" baby name trend that combines different names to come up with a new one and why parents are drowning in school apps. Plus, much more on KSL Brightside!

  • Afterparty: News Helicopter Crash in LA, Food Tourism is Booming and Extended Car Warranties May Leave Drivers Stranded
    An NBC Los Angeles news helicopter crashed in the Chatsworth neighborhood of LA Tuesday evening while covering a fatal bus collision, killing a reporter and pilot, and a pedestrian on the ground. We walk through the harrowing video from inside the helicopter as it lost power, the emotional moment the KNBC anchors realized on air that it was their own chopper, and the tributes now pouring in for the crew.
    Then, Matt Gephardt with the KSL Investigative team has a warning for Utah drivers — those extended car warranties you're paying for could leave you high and dry when you actually need them. Plus, food tourism is having a moment. New research shows more travelers than ever are planning entire trips around what they're going to eat. We ask: where are the best places to eat outside of Utah?

  • Costco rations motor oil, malls are making a comeback, Operation Santa

    On today's episode of KSL Brightside, we start with our Three Thangs which include: Costco rationing motor oil, Waymo comes to Las Vegas, and 401k's are reaching new highs. Then, the guys get into some doggie discussions- a K9 officer was injured in Summit County and Ethan is taking his old girl to the vet today.

    Apparently, malls are becoming popular with Gen Z and making a suprising comeback! What's a store you remember from your mall adventures? Also, starting today, the USPS is accepting Letters to Santa! It's the 114th year of Operation Santa and Ethan and Alex are absolutely psyched. 

    Later, Ethan calls out NFL Sunday Ticket, and Alex tells us what Stiff Person's Syndrome is, according to AI with the AI Question of the Day.

  • Afterparty: Bad Bunny mascot, Cedar City helicopter crash, Sewage Standoff

    Ethan and Alex talk about a high school football team that was suspended after their Rabbit mascot and the rest of the team taunted their opponents. Then, a video showing a helicopter crash in Cedar City turns Ethan into a detective. The guys also highlight a story by Matt Gephardt about one woman's sewage standoff with her HOA. Also, more food news!

  • NASA Wants Your Sky Photos, Your Car Costs Way More Than You Think & Ethan Kicked an Animal
    The AI safety panic isn't just a Big Tech problem — students may now have a say in how AI is used in their classrooms. Plus, owning a car now costs an average of $5,851 a year on top of your loan payments (anyone else ready to go live in a forest?). We dive into NASA asking everyday people to photograph the sky for science, Provo's new dark-sky lighting rules, and a Southern Utah water district turning wastewater into drinking water. A St. George business owner is bringing back VHS rentals for the nostalgia crowd, and we wrap up with the research-backed perfect age gap for a lasting relationship. We end with the AI Question of the day.

    Everyone is freaking out over AI — OpenAI delays its IPO over safety concerns, Anthropic researchers warn of human extinction, and lawmakers push for new rules after rogue AI agents were caught covering their own tracks. Plus, fast food chains are making a big pivot back to human workers. We also cover an incredible rescue after an Idaho Falls man and his dog were found alive following a weeklong search in the Wyoming mountains, and a St. George business owner bringing back VHS rentals for the nostalgia lovers.
