Jake, Jill, and Curtis discuss the following issues:

- The end of the mask mandate

- Cancelling Dr Seuss

- New Utah state flag

- The possibility of a Utah AF license plate

- Transgender HS athlete bill

- plus a hidden track of B-roll nonsense

I apologize for some less than ideal audio. One of us (not saying who) is staying with family temporarily and the connection is less than ideal. Can't wait to get back to in-person recording!

Jake and Jill take questions from Fam AF, which turns mostly into an excuse for Jake to rant.

Remember to support local restaurants and businesses- life will get significantly less interesting if they all go out of business.

WAIT DON'T SKIP, THIS IS FUN! REALLY!

if you're like me, you "nope out" when you hear the word "politics." However, Curtis gives bite-sized updates and opinions on the current Utah State legislative session.

- Hear how Joe Biden is about to make history this week (or more like avoid making history)

- Naming your favorite president is so cliche. Who's your 3rd favorite president?

- Jake and Jill speculate on the cause of Covid-19 cases dropping, which is really them making s&#* up.

- Jake and Curtis explain what they would do if they had sole discretion to spend $1B of the Utah state budget (Jake's idea is way better).

- Jake confesses about his dirty past as a double-tracker.

- Curtis presents some of the headline-making bills in the legislature:

   * The consumer products porn ban (dum dum dum)

   * The transgender athlete ban

   * The requirement for police officers to write a report when they draw their gun 

   * Raising registration fees on electric vehicles 

   * Removing concealed firearms permits

   * The committee to create a new Utah state flag (smart smart smart)

Remember, you can always go to le.utah.gov to check on these bills yourself and to learn who your representatives are.

You can't spell politics without tics and tics give you Lyme Disease. But unlike Lyme Disease, politics can be fun- especially when discussed by Curtis Haring of Utah Political Capitol.

And we'll just ignore the fact that this week was supposed to be an interview show. We did an interview but the platform let us down with a bad recording. I don't know what the opposite of an sponsored endorsement is, but we'd give it to that service.

Jake and Jill field questions from fans (not necessarily their fans).
