On this week's episode CB & Kip sit down to talk about their upcoming challenge. The annual fundraister, High West Oyster Fest is this Thursday, benefiting local nonprofit Sophie's Neighborhood.... and we're getting our hands n mouths dirty in the name of a good cause. We're competing, both shucking oysters and trying to knock em back!! But no matter how well (or poorly) we perform, at least we'll be doing it for a good cause.

To learn more about the good cause, Kip sat down with Lauren & Hosea Rosenberg, Sophie's parents, to talk about Sophie's Neighborhood. Sophie's Neighborhood is a nonprofit that raises money to help fund research for their daughter's rare disease, MCOT. It's tough trying to find the definition of the acronym & even more difficult to find a cause or cure. We talk with Lauren & Hosea about the diagnosis as well as the festivities on Thursday too.

Tune in for a few laughs, a little Halloween banter & whole lot of ways you can help out Sophie's Neighborhood.

We hope to see everyone Thursday for a good time for a great cause!

Before they launch their full fledged concept in 2026, they are hosting their first event October 23rd, a fundraiser dinner with 13 esteemed Chefs from around Colorado to help raise money for SAME Cafe, a local restaurant that helps the hungry & unhoused community of Colorado.
