Ethan and Alex kick off KSL Brightside with a proper welcome‑back—who they are, where they’ve been, and why they’re here. From there, the conversation shifts into the “Perfect Parent Club” as Utah revisits a big question: should parents be allowed to teach their own kids driver’s ed? The crew brings it to the audience for debate.
Then it’s full travel mode: Spirit Airlines’ sudden shutdown sparks passenger chaos, airlines raise fares but people keep booking. Fake voicemails from a very fake former KSL exec interrupt the show, and a non-fake, very alive, Doug Wright surprises Ethan and Alex.
The show keeps rolling with students racing through online degrees, three trending stories you won’t believe (including illegal vape sales, dishwasher radio voices, and Trump passports), and whether convenience stores like Maverik should worry about fast‑food competition. Ethan and Alex wrap with Utah outdoors news—from stocking prehistoric fish to what to do if animals are nesting near your home.
