Host Brooke Walker refuses to apologize for Utah's quirkiness. "We're just running with it."
Utahns are invited to tag along with the adventures of lifelong friends Bob Van Dyke and Jerry Craguan in a segment titled "Bob and Jerry's Bucket List." First on the list? Calf roping.
In case first dates aren't awkward enough, try dating while a television camera is rolling. To complicate things further, segment host Bob Ahlander will tag along in a segment called "Third Wheel."
Meanwhile, KSL Radio Nightside Project host Alex Kirry attempts to get to the bottom of some vexing Utah issues in a weekly man on the street segment. Tonight he delves in the question “What makes Utah drivers so bad?”
