But it’s time for one of us to move on down the road, and the remaining two to aim bigger. We close a chapter of the show today, but that doesn’t mean we won’t still give you all the goofy news-ish content you crave to kick off your weekend in style. Here we go:
*Cocaine sharks! That’s right, cocaine sharks! In something out of an episode of Miami Vice, waters off of Florida are contaminated with cocaine, which has the sharks all messed up. Who would win in a fight: Cocaine Bear or Cocaine Shark? Probably depends on the venue… Full story here.
*Jon gives a rundown of the recent Punk Rock Saves Lives Festival at Ratio Beerworks and tells a heartwarming story about a mosh pit.
*Friend of the show Sarah Christine had her van robbed and all her equipment stolen in a matter of 5 minutes. You can kick her a few bucks to help her out here.
*Jon shares a cherished baseball memory as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the George Brett pine tar game. You can read a retrospective of it here.
*Are you a renter? Then you’ve got extra rights now! We break them down for you, and you can see the full thing for yourself here.
*Three minutes is all it took for another round of vouchers to get an e-bike to be claimed. If you didn’t get one, walk your butt to the bus stop, we guess. Read more about it here.
*Twitter rebranded suddenly to “X.” And they want to do your banking for you! Yeah, ok. More about this whole fiasco here.
*A prominent civil rights lawyer is likely to have his house become a historical landmark. Cool! More about that here.
*R.I.P. to Sinead O’Connor. You weren’t appreciated enough in your time, but we pay our tributes. More about her can be found here.
*We talk about cool stuff to do including The Grawlix, Underground Music Fest, Buffalo Bill Days, and more. A full list can be found here.
*We bid adieu to one Happy Friday host and tease the new direction. Tune in, kids!

So what do Jon, Arthur and Kevin have for you this week-ish (ok, we’ll stop with the “ishes”)? Let’s just take a look.
*PT’s Showclub is accused of allegedly allowing prostitution inside its establishment, which, ew. Read more about that if you dare here.
*Some good old fashioned nightmare fuel for many of you, as Colorado has seen an increase in black widow spiders. Sleep tight! More on that here.
*A Colorado man has been busted for illegally flying his helicopter inside a National Park for the second time. That’s just about the weirdest expression of privilege we’ve ever heard. More here.
*Colorado teens aren’t working summer jobs as much as they used to, and there’s a great article from The Colorado Sun about it here. We also share our own summer job experiences.
*What are your favorite summer foods? We share ours! Let us know on social!
*A Colorado 10-month old has been chosen as this year’s Gerber Baby. Would you ever put your baby into modeling? We discuss. More about this year’s Gerber Baby here.

*We're officially past the halfway point of the year, so how those New Year's Resolutions doing? We check in, and Jon gives some helpful hints for making resolutions that count from his pal Dr. Sheryl Ziegler. Check out her podcast here.

*RTD is free in July and August, so take advantage! Westword has a lot more here.

*Given the way kids and dogs are afraid of the loud 4th of July noises - storms and fireworks this year! - it seems apropos to talk phobias. What are you afraid of? Kevin gives us Dale Earnhardt Jr's weird phobias and Jon gives us a list of four of the more bizarre ones out there.

*Some idiot decided to leave his dog in the car while he went golfing (!!!), and despite the best efforts of good samartian passersby, the dog died in the hot car anyway. Appalling. Don't leave your pets in the car. And if you dare, the full story is here.

*In better dog news, a dog who fell off a 14er was rescued and seems to be doing fine. You can read more about that here.

*Hey! Don't drive into a flooded road! That doesn't seem like something we need to remind you of, but apparently no amount of reminding is too much given that first responders had to rescue some folks in the last rainstorm. Come on! But thanks to our first responders, who rule. Full story here.

*Wimbledon is happening! Jon gives his tennis picks, and we all weigh in on obscure events from around the globe that we'd like to attend before we die.

*Gird your gag reflex because Joey Chestnut took home his 16th consecutive Mustard Belt by devouring 62 hot dogs in 10 minutes. Yuck. But impressive! Here's that story.

*Rest in Peace, Alan Arkin, one of the greatest actors there was. We share some memories and talk about what makes an actor great. You can read a good retrospective of him here.

*Cool stuff to do closes the show with Record Thieves at Herman's Hideaway, Paramore w/The Linda Lindas at Ball Arena, a Whiskey Fest in Douglas County, and a comprehensive of all events found here.

*Colorado unveiled its 150th anniversary license plates. They're lovely! Full story here.

*Viral marketing gone wrong! Someone in the ghostface costume promoting the new Scream movie prompted multiple calls to 911 in a California town. Are you alone in the house?

*There's tons of cool stuff to do this weekend like seeing Creed III, seeing amazing Fort Collins band Plasma Canvas, guitar virtuoso Eric Johnson, or, as Glass Magee himself espouses, tackling that project you've been putting off.

Enjoy your weekend, Denver! And make it a Happy Friday!

*A crazy story about a woman who was drugged and feared that she was prepped to be human trafficked at DIA leads to a discussion about always being vigilant about self-protection, but sad that we have to be. h/t Denver 7 for the story.

*The new Carvana vending machine is here and fully stocked! Would you buy a car from a vending machine? h/t Axios.

*Dos Luces Brewing had some idiot chump drive like an idiot chump and totally wreck their taproom and force them to close indefinitely. Nicely done, motorist! Story from 9News.

*COCAINE BEAR! Yeah, buddy! Let's all go see the movie where a bear high on a ton of cocaine just starts raging. If you haven't seen this trailer, what's the matter with you? Here.

*Cool stuff to do including Barks, Bourbon & Brews at Belmar, The Denver Travel & Adventure Show at The Convention Center, and the grand opening of the new taproom in Lowry for Denver Beer Co.
