Episode Description
Deadly flash floods sweep through the Grand Canyon, leaving at least two dead and more than a dozen missing as rescuers brace for more dangerous weather. Meanwhile, monsoon season is hammering Utah — flash flood warnings hit Orangeville, Carbon County, national parks, and Lynndyl. We break it all down in today's Three Things, plus: a 75,000-person music festival could be coming to The Point in Draper, and tonight marks the last Salt Lake City sunset after 8 p.m. this year.
We discuss why many parents struggle to talk to their kids about money over other difficult discussions.
In News for the 1%: Manhattan's luxury rental market is booming with units hitting $100K a month, and it's easier than ever to fly private without owning a jet. Then, a new industry in China lets aging parents rent "adult children" — but what about the pain of knowing your actual adult child may never launch?
Travel segment: Shoulder season is shrinking and so are the savings; we've got U.S. destinations that feel like international getaways (no passport needed), and the TSA sparked backlash for telling passengers they can bring a hammock through security. Yes, a hammock.
We settle the Logan vs. Provo debate and answer the age-old rivalry: BYU Creamery or Aggie Ice Cream?
We end with the AI question of the day.
