Episode Description
Val Cameron and Andy Farnsworth join the show to roast movies that stink this week. Then it's Three Things: Hogle Zoo just welcomed Maxim, a 14-year-old Amur tiger from the Saint Louis Zoo — he's visible to guests now. The world's oldest living person, Ethel Caterham, turns 117. And new FBI numbers show Utah kids rank 3rd nationally for money lost to online scams, averaging $6,100 per complaint.
Then we're diving into the topic lighting up your comments: Utah's bell-to-bell cellphone ban. How's it actually going now that schools are back? Ethan and Alex break it down with parent reactions, and we're reading your texts live. Plus, is taking your family to a college football game in Utah still affordable? A new poll says a third of fans don't think so — and BYU-Notre Dame tickets start at $600. Alex needs to sell some of his. 
We close it out with First World Problems!
