Beschrijving

This week on the Right Side of Hollywood, Christian Toto and local stand-up comedian Merit Kahn (in for Deborah Flora) dive into the world of late-night talk shows, discussing the recent farewell tour of outgoing host Stephen Colbert. They share their thoughts on the changing landscape of comedy and the importance of critical thinking in today's society. The conversation centers around the end of an era for late-night TV, with Ryan reflecting on the differences between the iconic Johnny Carson and the more divisive figure of Stephen Colbert. Christian shares his thoughts on the program's unceremonious end, as he wrote in an article for The Daily Wire. The three discuss how Colbert's shift from a comedian to an activist has led to a decline in ratings and a loss of sponsorship support. Merit also touches on the importance of comedy - and hers in particular - in bringing people together, rather than driving them apart. The discussion highlights the need for comedians to be able to poke fun at all sides, rather than just one. Merit shares their own experiences as a comedian, discussing how the industry has changed over the years and how artists have had to adapt to new ways of reaching their audience. Our Fool of the Week segment delves into the world of politics, discussing the recent comments by The View's Sunny Hostin comparing the Black Lives Matter riots to the January 6th uprising. Other nominees include CNN's Kaitlan Collins and Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in comedy, politics, and the changing landscape of late-night TV. Join Christian Toto and Merit Kahn as they join Ryan in exploring the complexities of comedy and its role in society.

Thursday with Trisha: Calvarese on GOP debate at CCU, Victor Marx train wreck at the 'Train Station'

This week on Thursdays with Trisha, we're diving into the world of Colorado politics with a lively discussion about the recent gubernatorial debate. The conversation starts with a recap of the debate, where Representative Scott Bottoms faced tough questions from Michael Brown and Senator Barb Kirkmeyer stopped short of saying there was 'corruption' at the state capitol. Trisha shares her observations on the debate, highlighting the combative nature of the moderators and the candidates' responses. The discussion delves into the topic of water rights, with Trisha asking Representative Bottoms about his stance on the issue. He explains that owning water rights is a property rights issue, and that people can own water rights, but when they sell it, it goes back to the state or a municipality. Trisha also touches on the topic of data centers, which are becoming a significant issue in Colorado. She asks Representative Bottoms about his thoughts on property rights, water rights, deregulation, and data centers, and he responds by highlighting the benefits of data centers and the need to guide them in a way that benefits the people of Colorado. The conversation also covers the topic of corruption in the state government, with Senator Kirkmeyer sharing her thoughts on the issue with Ryan. She defines corruption as intentionally and knowingly doing something wrong and breaking the law, and agrees with Representative Bottoms that giving a person a grant or contract in exchange for silence is corruption. However, she stops short of calling the state government corrupt, citing mismanagement as a more accurate term. Trisha also calls the calamitous interview Victor Marx gave to Kyle Clark 'a missed opportunity' to shift and shape the narrative on policy, and instead allowing the focus to be on the GOP gubernatorial candidate's shady and checkered past. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in Colorado politics and the upcoming gubernatorial election. Join Trisha and Ryan as they break down the key points and shares their insights on the debate. Listen to the full episode to hear more about the candidates' stances on water rights, data centers, and corruption, and to get a better understanding of the issues at play in this election.
