Send us Fan MailA Buddha-shaped beer bottle, a hazy double IPA that hides 9% like it's nothing, and a rapid-fire question game that goes completely off the rails. That's the energy tonight as we're back on the mics after a corrupted file and a couple weeks of real-life chaos, with a promise to keep the drinks cold and the stories honest. We start with Lucky Buddha Pale Lager and get into what actually matters to regular drinkers: aroma, that slight “green bottle” vibe, price, and whether it earns a spot as a daily drinker. From there we catch up on the last two weeks, including yard work, pollen misery, and a live music night seeing Box Elder plus a surprisingly great pierogi pizza that turns into a whole conversation about regional comfort food. Cookout season shows up hard with ideas you can steal: deviled eggs topped with mini hot dogs, smoked street corn dip with a spice surprise, and Texas Twinkies built with jalapeños, cream cheese, Chihuahua cheese, chorizo, and thin bacon on the smoker. Then we talk smash burgers and why small technique changes, like onions smashed into the patty or an onion paste grilled on top, can completely change the bite. After the break, we pour Jackie O's Ritual Destruction (hazy double IPA) and compare it to other fruity hazy favorites, argue about when pumpkin beers will hit shelves, and close with our “Answer These Nuts” segment plus plans for an Allegheny River camping float and upcoming birthdays. Subscribe, share the show with your drinking buddy, and leave us a review. Which beer would you try first, Lucky Buddha or Ritual Destruction?Support the showwww.anotherreasontodrink.com

The folks behind the massive data center proposed for Box Elder County have now submitted another application for water rights. According to this new application, the water would come from an unnamed spring in the Hansel Valley, an area just southeast of the proposed 40-thousand acre development. All this is happening while a rumored candidate to be Utah's next governor, former U.S. Representative Jason Chaffetz, says he's responsible for bringing businessman Kevin O'Leary into the plans.

Ethan and Alex kick off the radio show with a quick hit of Utah’s biggest conversations of the day: from the state’s favorite license plate and rising cougar encounters to the fiery Box Elder datacenter debate that packed a room with frustrated residents. Utah’s new ban on prop bets is set to go into effect, the hosts discuss how this opens up the conversation parents need to have with their kids about gambling. Ethan and Alex talk with Bret Rawson of the law firm Nelson Jones, also general counsel of the Utah Fraternal Order of Police and a former police officer, about when bystanders should intervene in law enforcement situations, following an incident over the weekend. Alex quizzes Ethan on Cinco de Mayo. The second hour covers drought‑driven sprinkler shaming, July 4th wildfire worries, new research on school cell‑phone bans, and a viral teacher who turns student emails into emo anthems. Three trending things Which Utah license plate looks the best? A surprisingly passionate statewide debate. Cougar sightings are up. Wildlife officials explain why encounters are increasing and how to stay safe. Box Elder Data Center drama. A packed, heated meeting as commissioners approve the next step of a controversial data‑center proposal. We reset the story: why residents are upset, what the project actually is, and why commissioners say it’s still far from a done deal. (Plenty of sound opportunities from last night’s crowd.) Utah’s ban on prop betting goes into effect Wednesday Utah’s new restriction on proposition betting takes effect Wednesday. The state is pushing back against prediction‑market platforms that insist they’re not gambling. We explain what prop bets are, why the state is cracking down, and how parents can talk to kids about online money‑risk traps. Should you intervene with law enforcement? A passerby helped UHP troopers arrest a knife‑wielding man — raising a big question: When is it smart to intervene in law enforcement situations?

The 2021 EP "These Distractions Are Constant" introduced Box Elder's raw, confessional approach to indie rock. But the self-titled debut LP, arriving April 3, 2026, marks the project's true arrival. For the first time, Box Elder is a full collaborative effort, with each band member contributing to the sound and vision. The result is an album that maintains Archuleta's emotional core while expanding the sonic palette in exciting new directions.These songs don't shy away from difficult territory. The album directly confronts mental health struggles, charting the highs and lows of anxiety, the weight of lost love, and the persistent fear of never quite finding where you belong. Four years of experiences are distilled into urgent, melodic anthems that balance vulnerability with resilience. Drawing influence from The Get Up Kids, Jimmy Eat World, The Menzingers, The Wonder Years, and Silversun Pickups, Box Elder crafts guitar-driven songs that hit with both emotional and sonic impact.Archuleta took on production duties himself for the LP, his first major self-recording undertaking. The learning curve was steep, but the result speaks for itself, an album that captures raw intimacy without sacrificing clarity or power. The striking cover artwork by Stella Vickland-Davis features mannequin pieces controlled by box elder bugs, a visual metaphor the band had always envisioned: the small, unseen forces that guide us through uncertain times.Box Elder has built their reputation through relentless touring and memorable performances. Highlights include appearances at Treefort Music Festival 2023 and Denver Underground Music Showcase 2025, multiple west coast tours, and support slots with Agent Orange and Black Lips. In May/June 2026, they'll embark on their first east coast tour with MK Naomi, bringing these songs to new audiences.After fifteen years of making music, this LP represents Archuleta's most complete artistic statement. It's proof that Box Elder has found their voice, and their place. Thanks for listening!!! Please Follow us on Instagram @hiddentracks99Pre and Post roll music brought to you by @sleepcyclespa

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Our shout-out today goes to Greg Houts from Box Elder, SD. Thanks for your partnership in Project23. We cannot do this without donors like you. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 10:1-5. For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ. Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness. — 1 Corinthians 10:1-5 Paul opens this chapter with a warning that should make every confident Christian uncomfortable. He does not question Israel's salvation story. He questions their assumption that it made them safe. They had miracles behind them. Redemption around them. God's presence among them. And still—most of them fell. This is the danger of spiritual privilege. When past experiences with God are treated as protection instead of preparation, faith slowly turns into presumption. Paul is deliberate in his language. Five times he uses the word "all." All under the cloud. All through the sea. All baptized. All fed. All sustained. No one was left out. Israel shared the same rescue, the same provision, the same spiritual experiences. And yet, Paul delivers the blow: "Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased." Participation did not equal protection. Experience did not guarantee obedience. Access to grace did not excuse compromise. Paul goes even further. He says the Rock that followed them was Christ. This wasn't a different God or a lesser covenant. Christ was present. Christ was sustaining them. Christ was providing. And still, they fell. That warning is aimed directly at us—because spiritual privilege can quietly convince us we are secure when we are actually drifting. Baptism. Communion. Knowledge. Church attendance. Worship songs. Past victories. None of these replace daily obedience. None of them make us immune to temptation. None of them guarantee faithfulness tomorrow. Israel didn't fall because they lacked access to God. They fell because they assumed access meant approval. Collapse rarely begins with rebellion. It usually begins with assumption. Saved together. Fallen apart. The lesson is clear: spiritual privilege is a gift—but it is never a guarantee. DO THIS: Take inventory of the spiritual experiences you rely on for confidence, and ask whether they are producing present obedience or quiet presumption. ASK THIS: Where might I be confusing past experiences with present faithfulness? What signs of spiritual overconfidence might I be ignoring? How can gratitude for grace deepen obedience instead of dulling it? PRAY THIS: Lord, thank you for every way you have met me, rescued me, and sustained me. Guard me from assuming that yesterday's grace excuses today's obedience. Teach me to walk humbly, faithfully, and alert before you. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Lord, I Need You."
