OSCAR PADILLA WON BIG ON THE FOOD NETWORK And as I love food of course I want to talk to the local chef about his experience on the show and more importantly about where I can eat his Argentinian inspired dishes. Find out more on his Instagram page here, but he joins me at 1 today to talk about the whole thing.

VINNIE MONTEZ IS HELPING ARVADA HAVE A PROM You may have heard about this during the show yesterday when I spoke with Rob Dawson about his story on it, but now the headliner of an upcoming comedy show is on at 12:35 to talk about how this all came together and how you can help. Buy tickets here!

HOW BAD IS CRIME IN DENVER? The Common Sense Institute brings receipts in this report showing that Denver is now in the top ten for crime IN THE COUNTRY. One of the most interesting take aways from this report is that crime is HIGHEST in Denver City Council District 9...which is represented by Cande Cdebaca, who suggested we should get rid of cops and replace them with a "peace force". I wonder how her constituents would feel about that now? I've got former DA Mitch Morrissey at 1 to discuss the report.

WHY DOES 9 NEWS HATE REPUBLICANS SO MUCH? That's the only conclusion I can come up with for why they would exclude the lone Republican in the race for Denver's mayor from their debate. Their reasoning? He didn't agree to campaign off the public dole. In order to take the money from the Denver Fair Elections Fund candidates MUST agree to participate in a couple of debates. One is tonight on 9 News. There is NOTHING ANYWHERE that says if you don't take the money you can't debate, but 9News unilaterally made the choice to exclude Andy completely on their own and they admit it. If the Colorado GOP weren't such a mess they could start a full court press about this, but they are busy infighting and trying to keep the wackos from taking over the party. Andy joins me at 1 to discuss. Find Andy's campaign site here, and if you like what you hear, MAKE A DONATION.

I THINK WE ALL SEE THE WEATHER FOR TODAY But Dave Fraser of Fox 31 is going to join us to answer all of your weather questions at 12:35 so load them up!

ARE YOU USING THAT KIDNEY? It's National Organ Donor Day and I'm talking to Kendra Burrell from the National Kidney Foundation and a man named Jeff Blumenfeld who needs a kidney about organ donation and how you can be a LIVE organ donor to help someone like Jeff. If you want to help Jeff, just click here. He is one of 1100 Coloradans waiting for a kidney. At the very least, please consider becoming an organ donor and letting your family know of your wishes. A good friend's life was saved because a family made the choice to donate organs.
