This week we start by discussing our daughter's summer geometry crash course, and I forgot how much I hate proofs. I also tell the story of getting stuck at the Salt Lake airport with the Portland Thorns professional soccer team, which hit me with a wave of nostalgia for my old Ultimate Frisbee team days, followed by Kristin's late-night ladder saga trying to fix a chirping smoke detector on our vaulted ceiling while I was useless from the airport. Then we get into something a little more serious: the whole Hank Green AI situation, where he admitted to using ChatGPT to help write video scripts and got a wave of backlash from his own audience. I get into my personal line in the sand with AI, which is that I don't want it anywhere near my creative work, and we touch on something Hank said that I hadn't really considered before: that interacting with LLMs might be giving people unhealthy dopamine hits. We talk about where this all might be headed, why creativity feels different from other tech advancements, and why I think this whole AI conversation deserves more nuance than a 60-second hot take. Takeaways: Interacting with LLMs may trigger dopamine responses similar to social interaction, which could make them more habit-forming than people realize. AI tools can be genuinely useful for research and administrative tasks, but using them to generate creative content removes the human decision-making that gives creative work its meaning. The backlash Hank Green received for using AI in his video scripts sparked a broader conversation about where the line should be drawn between helpful tool and creative shortcut. Historically, people have expressed similar fears and backlash toward new technologies, from the printing press to photography to typing, though AI raises unique concerns around creative authorship. AI models are trained on human-created content, so widespread reliance on AI to create that content going forward could gradually dilute the human originality models depend on. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

The Salt Lake City airport definitely has a lot going for it, but what it doesn't have is its own electrical grid, like Pittsburgh's does. For the past few years, Pittsburgh International Airport has been generating on-site electricity, more than it needs even at peak operation, to fortify itself against the kind of power outages that hit airports (unsettlingly often) across the world. City Cast Pittsburgh host Megan Harris brings David into the little-known world of airport energy independence, showing how a one-time investment can bring the kind of peace of mind that both travelers and operators hope for every day.

Send me a message One of the most overlooked lead sources for real estate agents is sitting right under your nose. Weirdly, almost nobody treats it like a real strategy.I actually learned this by accident. A few years into my career I was writing blogs and posting on social just to reach buyers and sellers directly. What I didn't expect was that other agents were watching too, and they started sending me referrals. I didn't even know what a referral really was at the time. My mentor had actually told me to never connect with other agents on social because they might steal my ideas. Worst advice I ever got. It's the opposite of true.That lead source is other agents. And it's changed my career, my income, and honestly my family's finances forever.This episode breaks down exactly how to build a real network of agents, both locally and across the country, that sends you business for years.In this episode:How I accidentally discovered agent referrals as a real lead source, and why almost nobody treats it seriouslyWhy becoming known as "the Salt Lake guy" (or your city) to agents everywhere leads to referrals you'd never get otherwiseHow to build agent relationships through social media, industry publications, podcasts, and thoughtful commentingWhy giving a referral away is one of the best moves you can make, even though you don't do the workThe revenue share model that turned agents from competitors into business partners for meWhy "give before you ask" is the entire game, and what it looks like when agents get it backwardsHow one relationship at one event added 150 agents to my network years laterStop seeing other agents as competition. Start seeing them as potential partners. That mental shift alone will change your business.***********************RESOURCES :Free "Clients From Social" Masterclass - Learn the new formula top agents are using on social media to attract 5+ new closings, month after month.

How often are you out in nature in Salt Lake City? It's not always easy to know which natural resources are clean and safe to use in an urban setting, and city rivers get a particularly bad rap. It's true that cities have had eras of sewage mishandling and high boat traffic — but many have also cleaned up their act, through the tireless work of local advocates and politicians. Portland, OR, is one of those cities, and City Cast Portland host Claudia Meza joins this episode of Your City Could Be Better to debunk the assumptions and fears about her city's river, the Willamette. Learn all about how a journalist-turned-governor led the charge to clean up Portland's waterfront, and how a quirky organizer — and lots of enthusiastic swimmers — have carried the torch. Mentioned on the show: Portland's riverfront park, named after former Governor Tom McCall Swiss residents using river to swim home from work RFK Jr. swimming (in jeans) in Rock Creek in Washington, D.C.

//The Wire//2300Z August 18, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: KINETIC TARGETING CONTINUES WITHIN MIDDLE EAST AS HOUTHIS LAUNCH MISSILES TOWARD DUBAI. TONGAN CRIP THREAT REMAINS SIGNIFICANT IN SALT LAKE CITY.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: Iran struck two more ships in the Strait of Hormuz last night, continuing the trend of the past couple of weeks. This morning, the UKMTO retroactively admitted to a merchant vessel being struck on August 15th, with the ship sustaining damage and one crew casualty. This afternoon, Houthi forces conducted a ballistic missile strike on the UAE, with missile warnings being issued in Dubai, for the first time since May. No locals reported witnessing any interception, and government officials stated that one missile splashed down in the Gulf, and another landed outside their territory.Analyst Comment: On the rhetoric front, this morning President Trump continued claiming control of the Strait of Hormuz, posting a graphic which claims the Strait is now U.S. territory. Even though waterways traditionally can't be claimed as land territory, and while this may just be a more lighthearted meme, at the other end of the spectrum this could be more serious. If the White House is indeed serious about making a territorial declaration of some kind, this could be an effort to move the goalposts to allow for the use of more substantial weapons. If Hormuz is America, then the US can claim that Iran is attacking the homeland. Of course, this logic is a stretch at best, but it's exactly the kind of reasoning that would make sense for the White House to rely on at this stage in the war.-HomeFront-Utah: One suspect has been arrested in conjunction with yesterday's events in Salt Lake City. Afuhia Masiu Manatau was arrested for his role in yesterday's shooting at the Tongan funeral in Kearns. During the funeral, a fight broke out among the congregation, between his 17-year-old son, and several others. During the fight, Manatau gave a firearm to his son, which resulted in the son attempting to murder the others. Manatau's son (the shooter) was shot in the chest during the engagement, and Manatau himself has been arrested.Analyst Comment: Concerning casualties, so far one fatality was reported as a result of the funeral shooting. The victim has been identified as Vilisoni (Soni) Angilau, a confirmed Tongan Crip who was recently released from prison after murdering a member of a rival gang in 2013. Soni Angilau's immediate relative, Naisa Angilau, was also recently released from prison for a completely different shooting as well, after he attempted to kill a gas station clerk in 2009. Of note, Soni's brother Siale also met a violent end as he was also shot and killed during a high-profile shooting that took place inside the courtroom during his trial. Siale Angilau was shot and killed by federal Marshals after attempting to stab a witness to death during his trial for racketeering back in 2014. All of these family members have an extensive presence on social media, and all self-identify as Tongan Crips.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Utah, additional details are helpful for understanding how serious yesterday's shooting actually was, especially considering the long history of similar murders. Despite assurances to the contrary, Intermountain Medical Center remained locked down throughout the evening last night, as the threats to the hospital remained constant. Many non-essential employees were escorted out of the hospital by SWAT, and patients' medical procedures were canceled due to the security threat. Intermountain Public Relations officials issued statements claiming that everything was fine and that there was no threat to the hospital, however employees within the hospital confirmed that these statements were not true.Intercepted radio traffic from 911 dispatch also confirms that the reason for the overwhelming police response at the hospital, was due to the Tongan Crip Gang attempting to breach the entrance to the Emergency department. At least one employee was assaulted and wounded in the ER, and a large crowd of Tongans also attempted to break through the Emergency Room entrance on the south side of Unit 4. After this breach attempt, local authorities responded in force, with SWAT officers responding immediately to reinforce the hospital and prevent the facility from being overrun. Snipers were deployed to the rooftops, and at least two Bearcat armored vehicles were posted at the Emergency Department to secure a perimeter around the facility.Concerning future threats, the circumstances of yesterday's funeral shooting are still unclear, with much of the eyewitness testimony being verifiably false as gang members seek to cover up the crime. The main question is whether or not this will result in a wider gang war, and right now the answer to that question is not so clear. The Tongan Crip Gang is known to engage in mutual combat within the gang itself, as rival factions settle internal disputes with violence and murder. Funerals are a common way for hostile TCG factions to meet up, and tensions flare. However, the Tongans also have many rivals locally which might also be inclined to stoke up a gang war. The TCG originally had a foothold in Inglewood, California, where the gang achieved it's extremely brutal reputation. After expanding this foothold to Salt Lake City, the TCG became one of the most legendarily violent gangs in the entire nation. Though small in numbers, they make up for their lack of footsoldiers with sheer violence. Even so, many locals prefer to call them "nice" and ignore this brutality, due to the affiliation this gang has within facilities owned by the LDS Church. This gang is known to murder people randomly without a second thought, and despite Tongans being less than one percent of the population of Utah, they make up over 13% of all gang member affiliation in the region. For those who want to make the argument that "not all Tongans" are causing problems, unfortunately in Salt Lake City specifically, this does not appear to be the case based on the case history and preponderance of evidence. During the Tongan Crip funeral murder at an LDS Ward back in January...not a single churchgoer came forward to name the killer. 100% of the congregants at the Ward where the murder took place, refused to speak to the police or provide a statement regarding what they saw. Police set up an anonymous hotline to protect witnesses, but among the hundreds of Tongans that witnessed that shooting, not a single person came forward to testify and the shooters were eventually charged based on evidence of the murder plans being found on their phones.Even the small handful of Tongans who are not documented gang members are extremely loyal to tribal allegiances; quite literally every single Tongan with a social media presence in Salt Lake County has expressed support for their guy who attempted to murder a gas station clerk with a shotgun. No one within this diaspora has condemned the actions of the man who's funeral even resulted in further bloodshed. The Tongan community has not tried to distance themselves from the frequent murders that are conducted within their areas, and most of the Tongan Wards within Salt Lake close ranks around those who commit violent murders.Concerning yesterday's shootings, posts on social media indicate that other family members of yesterday's deceased have been observed flashing Tongan Crip Gang signs and generally confirming their gang affiliation, specifically within the Tongan Wards. On Facebook, most of the Salt Lake Tongans don't wish each other a "Happy B-Day"...they change it to "C-Day" because the letter "B" is too closely affiliated with their arch rivals...the Bloods. This is a callback to their Inglewood origins...many of the TCG's rivals are much the same as in California. The Rose Park Bloods are their main external adversary within Salt Lake, as both gangs have been expanding into each other's turf. In the same area, the Rose Park Taliban (a gang formed from the children of refugees from the Middle East) also maintains some presence, and is allied with the Bloods. Back in March, a Rose Park Taliban member tried to murder a liquor store employee in Taylorsville (near Tongan Crip territory), so gang violence in southwest Salt Lake specifically from these gangs is a constant. As yesterday's "victim" had previously killed a member of the Baby Regulators gang, it's possible that this was a revenge killing that was unrelated to the other Angilau who's funeral was being held at the time.As a result of this complicated web of alliances and relationships between extremely violent gangs, more violence is expected. Despite the grass skirts, barbeques, and disarming smiles, most of these people are killers, and the killing is only likely to escalate. Since one person was killed during the funeral shooting, the funeral for that person will undoubtedly be another opportunity for another shooting, as the cycle of violence and vengeance continues.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

What will Salt Lake City do when it runs out of space for trash? Madison, WI, has a plan, and it's one that other cities could follow. What could've just been another county landfill, slated to open in 2027, will instead be a “sustainability campus”, where local businesses will unite to more intentionally sort incoming waste, increase recycling intake, and generally aim to slow the flow of trash. And Dane County has historically handled waste disposal in a savvy way, making big bucks off of trash collection that they then use to fund future projects like this forthcoming campus. City Cast Madison host Bianca Martin breaks this all down for David, and together they uncover the quirks — and opportunities — that come with talking trash.  Mentioned on the show: Conversion of Dane County landfills into pollinator fields Is there something your city is doing that we should be talking about?

It’s time for another episode of The Cultural Hall! This week, we’re sitting down with Chad Nielsen. Trent over at Kofford Books pitched him to us as a “true Renaissance man,” and honestly, the shoe fits. By day, Chad works at a biotech research company in Salt Lake, but his real passion is geeking out over Latter-day Saint history. We’re talking about his new book, A Barn Full of Angels, a project that was 13 years in the making. It's a deep dive into the life of his ancestor, Zerah Pulsipher. Even if you don’t immediately recognize the name, you know his impact: Zera is the guy who chopped through river ice in New York in the dead of winter to baptize Wilford Woodruff. Chad walks us through Zerah’s wild life, from his time leading the Kirtland Camp to trying to run a cattle operation out in the harsh, unpredictable terrain of Southern Utah’s Shoal Creek. We also don’t shy away from the messy stuff—we get into Zerah's ecclesiastical trial with Brigham Young over an unauthorized plural marriage that ultimately led to his release from the First Quorum of the Seventy.

Evan Lawrence, singer of Johnny Baseball, joins Parking Lot Hands for an expansive conversation about Salt Lake City and Ogden hardcore, melodic punk, songwriting, scene history, and the future of one of Utah's most exciting hardcore-rooted pop-punk bands.Evan begins with his introduction to live music: seeing The Acacia Strain and Impending Doom, discovering local hardcore through One Clean Life at Mojo's, and watching a new generation of Ogden bands establish itself within the Salt Lake scene. He reflects on learning drums, playing in early metalcore bands, and starting Johnny Baseball with friends in the early 2010s. The side project played early shows with Citizen and Turnover before disappearing as its members left for college, careers, and adult life. Years later, Evan revived the name with a clearer sense of purpose.The conversation explores the difference between a pop-punk band and a pop-punk band that comes from hardcore. Evan discusses New Found Glory, Saves the Day, Lifetime, The Movielife, Title Fight, and Polar Bear Club, along with the ethics and community connecting those bands to hardcore even when their sound crosses genre lines. He explains how Johnny Baseball evolved from melancholic early material into the fast, melodic, riff-heavy band it is today—and learned to balance giant hooks with unmistakable hardcore DNA.Evan opens up about his creative process, from improvising melodies as a kid to filling his phone with voice memos whenever inspiration appears. He talks about writing honest, relatable lyrics and using Johnny Baseball as an outlet for frustration, bitterness, humor, and hope. That includes a closer look at “Good Dudes Back Hard,” confronting abuse and harmful behavior within music communities, and why authenticity matters more than adopting the aesthetics of a scene.The episode gets inside Johnny Baseball's recording process and the influence of drummer, musician, and Grotto Audio producer Nic Kartchner. Evan explains why intentionality is essential in the studio, whether a band arrives with a finished song or an idea still searching for its defining moments. He shares practical advice for young bands and reflects on the value of honest collaboration with a producer who can capture emotion and personality.Johnny Baseball's live shows are an experience of their own. Evan talks about the band's 2023 return, the humor and spontaneity behind its performances, and its very real budget for hundreds of inflatable baseball bats. He discusses playing mixed bills, creating a space where people can have fun without abandoning substance, and building momentum through consistent releases, touring, and long-term goals.From there, the conversation widens into a celebration of hardcore across generations. Evan makes the case for a youth crew renaissance, more fast punk, more circle pits, and renewed hope alongside hardcore's necessary anger. He recommends Youth of Today, Gorilla Biscuits, New Brigade, Time Heist, The Rival Mob, and Anklebiter, while explaining what the current Salt Lake scene gets right and why a thriving local community should never be taken for granted.There is plenty of deep-cut music talk, too: Snapcase's Progression Through Unlearning, Victory Records mail-order catalogs, early sets from Title Fight and Citizen, and favorite album artwork from Converge, Coalesce, Ink & Dagger, Judge, and Seven Angels Seven Plagues. Evan also looks ahead to Johnny Baseball's next chapter: bigger hooks, a bigger sound, faster songs, heavier hardcore elements, more touring, and a stronger version of everything that already makes the band distinct.Plus, the episode answers the truly important questions: Which Salt Lake bands could Evan front after a hypothetical Thanos snap? Could Johnny Baseball win a local-band baseball tournament? How competitive can Mario Kart become on tour? And if the rulebook does not explicitly prohibit bunting off a tee, is it really cheating?

Do you know how zoning laws affect Salt Lake City's housing costs? New Haven, CT, has been governed for years by restrictive zoning that made it physically impossible to build tall buildings downtown, even for housing — that is, until the local government finally aligned to overturn it. City Cast CEO David Plotz sits down with Eli Sabin, a New Haven native and one of the alders (aka city council members) responsible for passing this change in recent months. Eli spent years working toward this goal, and he talks with David about what now needs to happen to fully realize its potential and increase affordability for locals.

It's not a given that every Salt Laker will chip in to help their community. In this episode, City Cast CEO David Plotz talks with writer Taylor Lahey about how functional incentives could be the missing link in traditional systems of donations and volunteering. Inspired by a waste exchange program in Curitiba, Brazil, Lahey is working to create circular systems that effectively incentivize donations and just as effectively get them into the hands of those who need them. When investment and morale are low, sometimes an unconventional approach is the right way to go. Want to hear your question on an upcoming episode of Your City Could Be Better?

Am I the only person that liked Super Girl? I must be seeing a completely different movie than everyone else because I loved it. I also saw The Invite, directed by Olivia Wilde. I knew I'd like it a little because Penélope Cruz is in it and I'll see anything she's in. But I was not expecting to like it as much as I did. It was probably my favorite movie of the year so far, or at least top 3. Whitney Leavitt stopped by Trisha Paytas's house for a chat on Just Trish. Her character arch needs to be studied because I was NOT a Whitney fan in the first couple seasons of SLOMW. But now she's my favorite one? I even saw her perform on Broadway. When I saw the video of Skims coming to City Creek I thought it was fake. But alas it is true and I am extremely confused that they chose Salt Lake but very happy that they chose Salt Lake. Kylie Jenner has partnered with Meta on some new glasses. At first I was really annoyed because why do we need those. But in this episode you'll see me change my opinion on them. And lastly we discuss the new Miley Cyrus Barbie and how I desperately need it. Thanks for listening!-Kacey

Sometimes it can feel like the Salt Lake City government is two (or more) steps behind the needs of its neighborhoods. Enter the residents of Chattanooga, Tennessee. What Chattanoogans don't have, they make up for in advocacy, whether by showing up to city council and organizing for change or just doing things themselves. City Cast CEO David Plotz sits down with creator and city lover Hope Henchey about how she and her neighbors are sneakily and secretly fixing up their city. You've heard of the Nashville bench builders — now get ready for the Chattanooga pothole fillers, sidewalk layers, and (literal) trail blazers.
