Andy Farnsworth with the KSL Movie Show joins Brightside to talk about movies that just plain stink. Plus — PayPal stock takes a dive, Utah's new e-bike law ahead of back-to-school, and a challenge to keep the Jordan River clean. NASA's Roman Space Telescope launches Sunday on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy, and we dig into the controversy over renaming Nashville's airport after Dolly Parton — and a wild hurricane coincidence tied to Dolly herself. In Retail Therapy: what's happening with dollar stores and why buy-now-pay-later is beating expectations. Vacation Club tackles lonely travel, KSL NewsRadio’s Eric Cabrera stops by with his Meta glasses to talk about Meta's push to fix a privacy loophole in the glasses.

Val Cameron and Andy Farnsworth join the show to roast movies that stink this week. Then it's Three Things: Hogle Zoo just welcomed Maxim, a 14-year-old Amur tiger from the Saint Louis Zoo — he's visible to guests now. The world's oldest living person, Ethel Caterham, turns 117. And new FBI numbers show Utah kids rank 3rd nationally for money lost to online scams, averaging $6,100 per complaint. Then we're diving into the topic lighting up your comments: Utah's bell-to-bell cellphone ban. How's it actually going now that schools are back? Ethan and Alex break it down with parent reactions, and we're reading your texts live. Plus, is taking your family to a college football game in Utah still affordable? A new poll says a third of fans don't think so — and BYU-Notre Dame tickets start at $600. Alex needs to sell some of his. We close it out with First World Problems!

Utah gets hammered by wild weather — flash flood warnings across southern Utah, major flooding in Sandy, and a tornado warning in Tooele County. KSL Meteorologist Devan Mascuili calls in to break down what happened and what's still coming. Then, the Sunshine Protection Act just passed the U.S. House and could make Daylight Saving Time permanent — but are you okay with no sunrise until 9 AM in winter? We walk through how Utah ski resorts are pushing back, and we take texts from listeners. Plus, new data showing nearly 97% of more than five million searches of Weber County's Flock license plate cameras came from agencies outside Utah — raising questions.. Val Cameron joins to talk about movies that stink, why being a grandparent beats being a parent, a beloved Utah fried chicken chain announces its first out-of-state expansion, and Tyson Foods is closing its Eagle Mountain facility, impacting hundreds of jobs. We wrap it up with your first world problems. KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM, with a YouTube-exclusive live stream from 12–1 PM and radio plus YouTube from 1–3 PM.

It's a packed Friday on KSL Brightside. We kick off with movies that stink! Then the Three Thangs… Then it's a Utah transit double feature: UTA is considering its first base fare rate increase in over a decade, and the FrontRunner double-tracking project just moved a step closer to receiving a $1.3 billion federal grant. BYU's Cosmo the Cougar was inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame this morning. Get ready for gray Froot Loops: Kellogg announced it's removing all artificial dyes from its cereals by the end of this year, a full year ahead of schedule, and replacing them with fruit- and vegetable-based colorings. We also talk about the CEO paying for employees to live in an expensive neighborhood, and we close out the show with your First World Problems. KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM, with a YouTube-exclusive live stream from 12–1 PM and radio plus YouTube from 1–3 PM.

Val Cameron with the KSL Movie Show kicks off the hour with a look at movies that stink — and the wild 4DX theater experience that might actually save them. Then we’ve got our three thangs. Plus, KSL NewsRadio’s Cameron Elliot joins with the latest updates on the four-alarm apartment fire in Midvale. A Bay Area landlord is charging tenants an extra $200 a month on top of $3,250 rent just for working from home — would landlords be out of their minds to try this? We ask why you should stop trying to "live like a local" while traveling, KSL Reporter, Cameron Elliot joins for the latest Midvale fire update, and we close with your best First World Problems from Facebook — including a fridge full of food with nothing to eat and a physical book that won't define a word when you hold your finger on it. We also hear from a new sponsor, Mike's loose gravel. KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM, with a YouTube-exclusive live stream from 12–1 PM and radio plus YouTube from 1–3 PM.

Happy Pioneer Day Eve! Andy Farnsworth and Steve Salles join us to roast the worst movies this week. Then we've got the Three Thangs including the massive Fireworks at Utah Lake celebration on July 24th. In Pursuit of Happiness, we ask: should corporate retreats feel more like a kid's birthday party? We're rounding up all the best Pioneer Day events from the Days of '47 Parade to rodeos and Handcart Days, plus Health Class tackles what your calf muscles reveal about your heart. Richie has some Pioneer day lore he wants to clear up. And a woman got fired after just ONE day on the job — we'll tell you why. We end with the AI question of the day.

While we wait for the U.S to play their first game in the World Cup, Alex and Ethan discuss which teams they are rooting for.

We're looking for brave souls to call in and tell us the pain and suffering they've had to endure recently. What's your first world problem?
Val Cameron joins the show to talk about movies that stink — the worst of the worst. In Three Things, Gov. Cox signs an executive order creating a framework for data center development in Utah after weeks of public outcry over the Box Elder County project, a Taylor Swift concert attack plotter is sentenced to 15 years, and more. Southwest Airlines walks back its controversial plus-size passenger policy — gate agents can now provide a free second seat when available rather than requiring passengers to pre-purchase. Plus, Utah law says leis must be allowed at graduation, but the U of U Huntsman Center is charging districts $1,000 for the privilege. We close with First World Problems, Logan or Provo and more.

A Hurricane, Utah, farm manager named Todd Brown is asking for help after diesel truck TikTokers rolled through his oat fields — night after night — snapping golden-hour content for social media after a regional truck event. The main TikToker finally responded, claiming he thought it was just grass. Ethan and Alex hear the responses posted online and share their takes on the issue. Then we close with "First World Problems." Starting with a report that some billionaires are now telling other billionaires to shut up and pay their taxes, as wealth-tax proposals gain steam in New York and California.
KSL Movie Show host Andy Farnsworth stops by to break down the films you should skip — and the ones worth your time — plus he weighs in on the biggest entertainment story of the week: the official search for the next James Bond is underway. Then it's Ethan and Alex’s version of the Three Things You Need to Know— from a potential $13 billion boost for clothing retailers thanks to GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, to Ford's CEO warning that AI will replace half of all white-collar workers as 20,000 automotive jobs vanish, and crop problems in southern Utah. A farmer is speaking out after TikTokers drove through and destroyed his crops — and the main culprit just posted a response claiming he thought it was just grass. We've also got the teen takeover phenomenon hitting close to home (including Alex's unforgettable Maverik parking lot experience), why concerts and everyday life keep getting less affordable, and KSL NewsRadio's Eric Cabrera joins us with some concert dos and don’ts as Kilby Block Party kicks off its seventh year today at the Utah State Fairpark. We wrap it all up with "Really Real Headlines" and "First World Problems" — because it’s Friday, so why not!?

Ethan and Alex tackle the wave of new Utah laws taking effect today—from roundabout rules to the kratom ban and new e‑bike helmet requirements—before jumping into Jeff Bezos selling his yacht in a classic “First World Problems” moment. They explore the strange story of alleged kamikaze dolphins, break down a Yellowstone bear attack with real survival tips, and dig into whether the four‑day school week is gaining traction. KSL NewsRadio’s Eric Cabrera joins KSL Brightside to discuss the pressure families feel from overscheduled kids. NASA ambassador Patrick Wiggins weighs in on growing space‑trash concerns, and the show wraps with a nod to KSL NewsRadio’s 104th birthday.
Ethan and Alex kick things off by unpacking Jeff Bezos’ decision to sell his mega‑yacht, then jump into the return of fruit‑flavored vaping—now with a smartphone twist—and Utah’s crackdown on kratom. The chaos continues as they debate Delta’s snack‑less flights and Alex confronts Ethan’s growing Hantavirus fixation.
