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're diving into Pioneer Day food traditions — what's on your table tomorrow and how is it different from July 4th? Speaking of Utah icons, the giant pickle mascot in LaVerkin is finally getting a real name, and the city wants the public's help choosing it. Alex and Richie go through the latest suggestions. Then, a Spanish pilot pulled the ultimate prank on a plane full of Argentina soccer fans — tricking them into thinking they'd won the World Cup before dropping the real result. Was it hilarious or over the line? The morality police are debating. Plus, a scary story out of the Animal Kingdom: a 3-year-old was bitten by a rattlesnake that was hiding under an Amazon package.    KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM.

Utah's Heat Wave Is Coming, One Fireworks Ticket & New Olympic Sports for 2034 A dangerous heat wave is heading for Utah this weekend — Extreme Heat Warnings are in effect with temps expected to hit 104–107°F along the Wasatch Front. Then, how many tickets did SLC police hand out for illegal fireworks over the July Fourth holiday? Just one. We'll talk about whether the ban actually worked. Plus, Rice-Eccles Stadium could be getting new premium suites in the north end zone (don't freak out, north end zone fans — Mark Harlan says it won't block your view). Airbnb is offering $750 bonuses to new hosts in World Cup cities, and hosts are already averaging $3K payouts during the tournament. We'll also dive into the new sports being considered for Utah's 2034 Winter Olympics — including freeride skiing and snowboarding — and whether Russia could return to the Games.

Salt Lake Valley deals with two damaging overnight house fires in Herriman and Millcreek, plus a Layton brush fire is now out. Then, Brigham City is putting its foot down on crypto kiosks — but what even are these machines and why is the city making them a crime? A planned 60-foot Liberty Arch in Utah is sparking patriotism but also raising concerns about its location. Ethan has a strong take about it. Gen Z is taking group trips but not getting paid back and how loud budgeting is helping set financial boundaries. A man is found living in a national park surrounded by 100 pounds of trash. Nestlé is tweaking food recipes to appeal to duller GLP-1 palates. BYU students are working with Utah's Department of Natural Resources to keep birds away from the Provo airport.

We're kicking off with Three Things: Utah's Babylon Fire becomes the first to hit 100,000 acres in eight years, Eureka preps for flooding in the fire's aftermath, and we mark one year since the deadly Camp Mystic flooding in Texas. Plus, the U.S. Men's Soccer Team is out of the World Cup.  Then — triple-digit heat is here, and we break down the 20-degree AC rule every homeowner should know (but probably won't follow). We dig into Utah's new automated prescription refill program and where AI fits in healthcare, plus why some wealthy families are letting their kids be guinea pigs for AI-powered schools. Is passive income the new American Dream? Ethan shares ideas and warnings you may not have thought of.  And to close it out, why girl dads may actually be better bosses, and how do you really ban your teen from social media?   Follow KSL Brightside on social media!

Did you survive the Fourth without personal fireworks? Today we recap our parade experience and want to hear how YOU celebrated America's 250th — then we dig into the fires that broke out despite Utah's statewide ban: a brush fire in Provo's Slate Canyon, a "near-total loss" at the original Costa Vida in Layton after a suspected firework fire collapsed the roof and caused over $1M in damage, and a Kaysville brush fire started by young adults shooting bottle rockets at each other. And of course, THE wedding — Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce tied the knot July 3 at Madison Square Garden with Adam Sandler officiating, Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks performing, and Chiefs coach Andy Reid (who was in Utah this weekend narrating for the Tabernacle Choir's America 250 broadcast) sharing Sandler's best marriage advice: "Keep kissing."    KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM, with a YouTube-exclusive live stream from 12–1 PM and radio + YouTube from 1–3 PM.   Follow KSL Brightside on social media!

We kick off with three things you need to know — including a Fourth of July firework and fire update, water-wise landscaping saving millions of gallons at the new Utah State Prison, and more. Then we break down the controversial World Cup red card reversal for the U.S. team and what actually happened on the field. We ask whether leisure actually makes us happy (spoiler: often not), and react to Sony's announcement that it will stop making physical PlayStation discs in January 2028 — a move that has gamers fired up. Plus, back-to-school bargain hunting is already underway, and we look at whether EV batteries are outlasting expectations. KSL Investigative Reporter Daniella Rivera joins us in studio to preview part of KSL’s special series, "Beyond Box Elder — The Bet on Data Centers," which takes viewers inside Virginia's Loudoun County, the data center capital of the world, for lessons on what's coming to Utah.   KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM, with a YouTube-exclusive live stream from 12–1 PM and radio + YouTube from 1–3 PM.   Follow KSL Brightside on social media!

It's the Fourth of July Eve Eve show and we're getting you ready for the long weekend. We start with Three Things: UDOT road closures and holiday travel tips (61.4 million Americans are expected to drive this weekend), the Twilight baggage drop update, and the heartwarming story of Golden Healers' therapy dogs visiting ash-covered firefighters battling Utah's Iron and Cherry fires. From there — the perfect American hot dog, where you CAN legally set off fireworks (hello, Bonneville Salt Flats), 10 items banned from national parks, and a real talk on fireworks safety. Then we get into the wild stuff: people are literally going to therapy because AI broke their brains. We price out how much it would cost for Caitlyn to get to NYC for Taylor Swift’s wedding. We wrap with the America 250 list as the country turns 250 on Saturday.    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.   Follow KSL Brightside on social media!

A Harvard professor known for his polarizing theories about extraterrestrial life has been tapped to lead a new White House UFO advisory council — so it's an excuse to talk about aliens. Plus, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Madison Square Garden wedding is basically confirmed according to a law enforcement official who spoke with the Associated Press, Medicare is launching a pilot program that could unleash a wave of weight-loss drug prescriptions, and Utah is restricting target shooting in 16 counties due to wildfire risk. We also dig into a luggage scam targeting checked bags just in time for holiday travel, firefighters facing threats over fireworks bans, the FDA's big nicotine pouch decision, your state's most popular potato chip, and the great hot dog vs. hamburger debate.

We also talk about America's 250 list of American things, plus Salt Lake City police investigating a string of peacock killings, and a wild grizzly bear encounter caught on camera.   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.   Follow KSL Brightside on social media!

Utah's Cottonwood Fire continues to burn nearly 94,000 acres at just 4% containment, with an estimated 150 structures destroyed. Today, some evacuated residents will be allowed escorted access to check on their properties — but Beaver County Sheriff Cody Black says they'll be checking IDs to prevent looters.  With Utah's statewide firework ban in effect through July 5, cities like Ogden and Lehi are prohibiting personal fireworks and encouraging residents to attend professional shows like those at Thanksgiving Point. But what do you do with fireworks you already bought? North Tooele Fire District PIO Jon Smith shares tips as well as further insight on how fire shelters work for firefighters.   In lighter news: Smith Entertainment Group unveiled redesigned Utah Jazz and new Utah Mammoth specialty license plates — the Jazz plate is available to order starting July 1 through the DMV. Plus, we discuss the fate of SLC's iconic Coachman's Dinner & Pancake House sign, where a GoFundMe is trying to raise money to have it safely removed and preserved. Texters chime in with their favorite signs around Utah.    In sports, LeBron James officially informed the Lakers he's leaving — the biggest free agency domino in years — and we break down what it could mean for the Jazz. We also talk about teaching your kids about money, why chatbots are replacing therapists (with little scientific evidence) and more of our America 250 list of things!    Follow KSL Brightside on social media for updates!   Follow KSL Brightside on social media!

We kick things off with an important Magnolia Bakery question— is Banana Pudding or Red Velvet the superior choice? Drop your vote in the comments! Plus, we investigate the most horrifying, expired food discoveries lurking in the newsroom fridge.    With America's 250th birthday just days away, we dive into the America 250 celebrations list and check in on Sen. John Curtis's America 250 walk. Then we settle the important debate: where do Doug Wright, Ethan, and Alex rank among Utah’s radio hosts?   In wild animal news, a string of alligator attacks in Florida has left three people injured and one dead after a 31-year-old woman was killed while swimming in a river near Orlando. We also have a local wildlife alert: HawkWatch International's Harris's Hawk, Stax, has escaped and was last seen near their Salt Lake City offices. If you spot him, contact @hawkwatch on Instagram! Speaking of hawks — Alex shares his experience with hawks.    KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM.

We start with our three things, including some devastating news — three wildland firefighters were killed battling fires on the Utah-Colorado border. We break down what happened, where the fires stand, and what it means heading into the Fourth of July. Speaking of the Fourth, Utah's fireworks fight is getting messy. Gov. Cox has restricted fireworks statewide through July 5, but cities are all over the map — Clinton is allowing them, Fruit Heights banned them, and Kaysville is still figuring it out. Tell us what YOUR city is doing. Plus, Pineview Reservoir is getting drained so Ogden can replace a leaky, decades-old pipeline — most of the water will be out by September 15. Also on the show: Amazon Prime Day hit $26.4 billion in spending, a new SLC school turf field has neighbors calling it a stinky heat island, foreign visitors are baffled by America's AC obsession, campground toilets that can actually kill you, UK boys stuck reading at a primary school level, the great pajama travel debate, plus more of our America 250 list.    Follow KSL Brightside on social media!

Happy Monday! We're counting down to the country's biggest birthday yet — America is about to turn 250, and the celebration plans are massive. Alex breaks down his America 250 list. Then, Disneyland's iconic Autopia ride — the only original 1955 Tomorrowland attraction still standing — is being forced by California to ditch gas-powered cars and go electric by early 2027 or shut down entirely. And in what might be the greatest act of public shame in sports history, South Korea's national broadcaster KBS blurred out head coach Hong Myung-bo's face during his press conference after the team's World Cup exit. Oh, and fireworks are still banned in Utah... but some cities are finding spots to do them.    KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM.

We start things off with movies that stink! Ethan and Alex debate whether it’s time to consider volunteering as firefighters and provide updates on the latest fire watch. We check in with Steve to see how he’s handling the firework situation under the new ban. Plus, chaotic teens and more adult kids are living with their parents to save money.    What volunteering as a firefighter may look like, PDS red flag warning and what cities have said they are fully banning fireworks and which ones haven’t.    KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM.

Following Governor Cox’s executive order to ban fireworks… Alex went out searching to see if any fireworks can be found in Utah… he brought back a special surprise. We mull over the idea of a special fireworks day in November. Plus. Mutant mice.    KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM.

It's a wild one on KSL Brightside today — literally. We kick things off with a bobcat found inside an apartment. Then, dramatic photos show teenagers hanging out of the windows of a self-driving Waymo robotaxi during rush-hour traffic on Olympic Boulevard in Santa Monica — taking selfies while onlookers pleaded with them to get back inside. We break down what went wrong and the safety questions around driverless vehicles. Plus, what would Madison Square Garden actually look like as a wedding venue? Rumors continue to fly about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding location. And we end with some viral videos: a woman gets fired from her job after being caught stealing a Knicks-themed trash can, and a pilot celebrates his final flight with his daughter riding along as co-pilot.   KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM.

Governor Spencer Cox declares a state of emergency, banning fireworks statewide through July 5 as Utah faces unprecedented wildfire conditions — 353 fires, 141,000 acres burned, and 94% of the state in severe or extreme drought. The order allows cities to designate limited safe areas for fireworks if local fire officials approve. We get the governor's update on wildfire conditions live and then ask listeners to chime in on whether they support the decision. Then, Sandy Mayor Monica Zoltanski joins the show to react — she's been vocal that cities are "caught in the middle" between residents demanding bans and state law that limits their authority. How will Sandy handle it?    KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM.

We kick things off with the three things! Utah voters sent shockwaves through the Legislature — Senate President Stuart Adams conceded after trailing challenger Stephanie Hollist, losing his seat. Plus, a lethal rabbit virus returns to Utah for the first time since 2022. We go behind the scenes of wildfire management with North Tooele Fire Department PIO, Jon Smith. Then, Utah Division of Air Quality Director Bryce Bird joins us as Salt Lake City hits #1 worst air quality in the U.S. — what can you actually do to protect yourself and your family? Also, is office attire too casual now? Sunscreen misinformation is spreading on TikTok. And — what is an "otrovert"?   KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM.

The Cottonwood Fire has exploded to nearly 60,000 acres with 0% containment. Eagle Point Resort's Lower Lodge and surrounding condos in southern Utah have been destroyed.. We review stunning Ring doorbell footage and photos showing the devastation. Then — calling someone a "Honda Civic" is the hottest new insult on TikTok (is it the new 6-7?). What car are YOU? We assign cars to Ethan and Alex and ask the chat. Plus, plumbers find a 50-year-old wedding ring lost for nearly a decade, earning today's Good Human Award.   KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM.

Scotland's Tartan Army showed up to the 2026 World Cup in Boston — and drank the entire city dry. Sam Adams says its Boston Taproom sold four times as much beer as on a typical Fourth of July weekend, forcing an emergency Saturday-morning delivery just to keep kegs flowing. One bar tripled its St. Patrick's Day sales. Another ran out of everything. Also, Dallas police got called on rowdy Brits and a Japanese fan who can't speak English but is living his best World Cup life. Is the World Cup actually uniting the world?    Then — Kevin Bacon is temporarily changing his name to Kevin "Bean." We explain why.  The comment section has questions we need to confront — specifically about Doug the chinchilla's burial.   Plus: Senator Curtis is going on a long walk for America 250, and we still want to ask about his hair. Do you get the ick when women drive men around?

Plus, West Fest is back with beefed-up safety protocols after last year's shooting, a bee-filled trailer crashes in Yellowstone National Park, and why you might be seeing more black bears this summer. We also debate whether parents should stop tracking their adult kids' locations, check in on GLP-1 news and hear why teens eager to work are struggling to land summer jobs. Then, UDOT's express lane crackdown, price concerns swirling around the new Sundance, and would the NFL ever come to Utah?   Follow KSL Brightside on social media!

The famous marshmallow test — the one that said kids who delay gratification grow up more successful — is being debunked. We put it to the test ourselves… with BTS Oreos.

Washington County will pay you $100 per tree you plant, plus an unfortunate incident of a hit and run at Bear Lake. A young mountain lion is euthanized in Hurricane City — sparking a bigger conversation about Utah's wildlife. Then, Crimea wants to ban mopeds for a hilarious reason, and China is warning citizens about spy turtles. We explore why planning actually makes you happier, Zillow's alarming finding that starter homes in 242 U.S. cities now cost a million dollars, which jobs have the highest divorce rates, and we ask AI the best food to cook for Father’s Day.    KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM — YouTube-exclusive from 12–1 PM, and on radio plus YouTube from 1–3 PM.   Follow KSL Brightside on social media!

Downtown Salt Lake is losing restaurants — Market Street Grill, Cucina Toscana, and more are closing their doors, and we ask who's next. Plus, Draper could become the West's next surfing destination, another kid is critically hurt on an e-motorcycle, and the NCAA goes to court over BYU's Noah Sorsby. We dig into America's 250th time capsule (and what Utah put inside). There is a new "goblintimacy" dating trend where people channel their inner goblin on first dates and we have thoughts..

Alex's family chinchilla, Doug, passed away over the weekend — and the story behind it involves frozen hamburger and is somehow both heartbreaking and hilarious. We talk about navigating pet deaths with your kids as we remember the life of Doug.  Then, a Nantucket woman offered brownies to the School Committee — before casually revealing they contained trace amounts of Ex-Lax. No one ate them. It was a protest against PFAS testing standards for a proposed turf field, and now there's a police report. Alex and Ethan react to the video.  Plus, viral footage out of China shows a humanoid robot in a clown wig roundhouse-kicking a child in the stomach during a martial arts demo at an amusement park.

The flesh-eating screwworm just crossed into Texas for the first time in 60 years. Utah officials are watching closely. The Utah prison system is saving taxpayer dollars with a complete healthcare redesign — but it raises some interesting questions. We dive in with the Morality Police.

Hot, dry, and windy weather blew across the state over the weekend... sparking several new fires, including two near Saratoga Springs. Another fire in central Utah is still burning close to I-15.

Can't afford rent? You're not alone — and neither are millions of Americans literally looking for someone to split it with.

New month who dis? Happy June! We're kicking off the month with the snack combo dividing the internet — a woman is going viral for mixing M&M's and Skittles at a specific 2-to-1 ratio, and we try it live with our honest reviews. Plus, it's officially confirmed: Taylor Swift is releasing a brand-new song for Toy Story 5 called "I Knew It, I Knew You," and after weeks of cryptic countdowns and cloud-themed Easter eggs, the Swifties were right all along. Caitlyn chimes in with her reaction and some of the easter eggs that led up to this.   Also today: It's National USPS Dog Bite Awareness Month, and with over 5,200 attacks on mail carriers last year, we have to highlight the importance of this issue. We look at how family farmers are making six figures on TikTok and YouTube while earning as little as $5,000 from actual farming. And since it's June 1, we're running down everything happening this month — Pride Month, Father's Day, Juneteenth, the FIFA World Cup, the summer solstice, and so much more.   Watch the stream weekdays 12-3: https://www.youtube.com/@KSLBrightside   Follow KSL Brightside on social media!

Blue Origin's New rocket erupted in a massive fireball during a test firing at Cape Canaveral Thursday night — shaking nearby homes and painting the sky orange. We break down the footage. Then it's a roller coaster double feature: an influencer gets a lifetime ban from every Six Flags park after filming himself doing a “stunt” on a roller coaster going 93 mph, and students on a field trip got stuck nearly 100 feet in the air on Galveston's Iron Shark for almost four hours. Plus, Hidden Valley Ranch is hiring "Ranchbassadors" to travel Europe this summer, spreading the gospel of ranch dressing — over 6,000 people applied, with some uncozy submissions.

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.

We close with First World Problems, Logan or Provo and more.    Follow KSL Brightside on social media!
