This week! Mike & Karley reveal the winners of 32 different fair foods from the Eastern Idaho State Fair, from a legit looking stick of butter to the Whole Damn Farm. IFAF becomes the news when an AI generated Idaho Falls news podcast covers the ongoing drama with Paul Crispinup Moradis Bacon, and wonders about the actual need for a Chamber of Commerce when so many nationwide have been shut down, and this very podcast opening up Idaho Falls' newest restaurant is covered by Idaho Falls' newest internet radio station, Lettered Streets Radio. The Chamber clown car craptacular continues with a glaring price difference in memberships for Hispanics, the Chamber Foundation claiming to be a charity and collecting funds when we don't see any evidence of their charity status, and more Chamber members confirming that concerns about Paul reached Chamber leadership as early as Spring 2025. A new Whistledown whistleblower raises questions about how 710 Spectrum's advertised Delta-9 products fit with Idaho law and what happened after its 2024 inventory seizure. Plus, how Le Labo Tonka 25 smells different to Mike and Karley. A Treat Time taste test of Oreo flavors Chicken and Waffles and Depp Fried. Upcoming events include next Saturday September 19 the Idaho Falls Symphony's free outdoor concert at the Freeman Park Bandshell, next weekend September 24-26 Vintage Market Days at the Eastern Idaho State Fairgrounds, and an exclusive look ahead at the Snake River Animal Shelter Fur Ball 2027 at the Shoshone-Bannock Casino Hotel

See you at El Cantaro, a new restaurant, bar, and dance destination, and new home of Aguas Maria, at 201 1st St this Friday. Also, another East Idaho business Bee Box Honey sees results after one mention on our podcast! Paul Baker goes crying to the news, we compare him to a toothless dog, and offer him a simple challenge: show one receipt. Meanwhile the confused news keeps saying embezzlement so we correct the record with all the specific questions we've posed to Paul. Is the Greater Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce deliberately hiding their auto renewal policy? Are they really charging 3 different prices for membership fees? And different prices depending on your race? WTF GIFCOC! John Balginy ends a legendary 41 year Idaho Falls broadcasting and sportscasting career! Aaaaand: The Eastern Idaho State Fair, giant power bills, Squealer's Fun Park reopens after 5 years, Ammon Pool going to the dogs, Miss Idaho contestant Katie Treault's epic Tracy the Trout costume, why we think Le Labo Matcha 26 is both down to earth and out of this world, and frickin' rabid bats!

Reasons to listen this week include... did the Greater Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce dirty delete a negative Google review? Who ranked Idaho as the number one state to live in, which naturally becomes an argument about Californians, desperate homebuyers, and who actually drove local home prices through the roof. Idaho Falls road resurfacing becomes windshield warfare, Chick-fil-A finally reopens with one important piece still closed, the Mac Daddy Smash Burger from Sully's GastroPub is the best burger in Idaho, Addy Faith headlines the FUNdraiser for Valerie Jensen's medical mystery at The Heart, how Mosy hijacked our Facebook Live, and why Meta shut it down. The brand new Islands exhibit opening at the Idaho Falls Zoo, our $40 million CEI tech hub, why naked dating is better on UK TV than American television, and a local rave where you can get legally married between bass drops. Upcoming events include this Saturday August 29 the Till Death Do Us Part: The Unholy Union of Acid & Bass at The Gem on 1st Street, also this Saturday August 29 the Idaho Falls Water Lantern Festival by Light the Night on the Idaho Falls Greenbelt, next weekend September 4-12 the Eastern Idaho State Fair in Blackfoot, next Saturday September 5 the Idaho Kink Society presents Through the Looking Glass at The Heart!

Reasons to listen this week include... Mike's wildly overdue Disney's Descendants discovery completely changes his end of life care plan. Did our Greater Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce insider confirm that the Chamber is indeed conducting a full fledged forensic accounting audit for the purposes of finding fraud and misappropriation. Does anyone read the Post Register any more. Did Chamber board member Brennan Summers make us famous to Idaho top level dignitaries Governor Brad Little and Lieutenant Governor Scott Bedke. Paul Baker's cease-and-desist request doesn't seem to tell us what exactly to cease or desist. Steven Varley's newly provided receipts have us questioning if Paul is the biggest mental health hypocrite ever. How the IFAF makeshift set is held together by exercise weights, tiny tiger Coco cat attempts eats plastic and tells us to wrap it up, and new barstools mean numb butts. Saved the date for a couple of important charity fundraisers. Saturday October 17 the Stop the Silence Charity Ball at the Shoshone-Bannock Casino Hotel, Thursday October 22 another the Valerie Jensen charity concert at The Heart.

This week! INL manager exposed (no not like that, well kinda) as the Rexburg roadway wiener wagger! And we wonder about the morality and ngl logistics. Mike offers advice regarding gentlemen boxers. The Greater Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce still staying silent, while the Idaho Falls Chamber Foundation is still collecting money but are they really a legit charity? A UK court orders Paul Christopher Morris Baker to pay his "investors" $33,000. That was 5 years ago. He never paid. We hear the firsthand account from one of the investors, Stephen Varley, and his claim that he and others were all defrauded by Paul before Mr. Morris aka Mr. Baker before he left for the Unites States and became our Chamber of Commerce CEO. We have a summer speed run through Soda Wars, Sweet Corn, the Duck Race, Pints & Paws, and breast milk jewelry. Are these wildfires part of a conspiracy, or is the real conspiracy a bunch of conspiracy theorists flooding Facebook groups with their wild conspiracy theories? Can Squealers Fun Park make a comeback? Is Local News 8's Danielle Mullenix Idaho Falls' unofficial Disney princess? Finally we bid a tender farewell and dedicate this episode to Karley's little lion Leo, may he cross the rainbow bridge in style and rest in dreamsicle cat heaven. Upcoming events include this Wednesday August 12 Bat Night at the Idaho Falls Zoo and this Friday August 14 Movies in the Park with Lilo & Stitch at Central Park

Reasons to listen this week include - East Idaho News finally joining the Chamber investigation, and is the Chamber Foundation saying they're something they're not? Like a 501(c)(3). Also Paul Baker's weird name change, people still simping for Paul, and a big bombshell next week! A 3 year old Idaho Falls toddler is caught on Ring cameras walking to Grandma's house after Mom told him no, inspiring equal parts panic, admiration, and "Good luck parenting your feral children." Hard news including the developing Twin Falls In-N-Out shooting, the privacy debate surrounding Flock cameras, and disturbing reports from a Mountain America Center concert. For comic relief, there's Sugar Beast ice cream, a dunk tank on a 102-degree day, an Idaho Kink Society paddle, we finally figure out the mysterious bison mural chair, and an enthusiastic visit to Iona's new Society Table. Upcoming events include this Tuesday August 4 the Soda Wars at the Idaho Falls Chukars game, this Thursday August 6 the Open Deck Night EDM showcase at The Heart Events, this weekend August 7-8 the Great Snake River Greenbelt Duck Race on the Snake River Greenbelt, next Wednesday August 12 Bat Night at the Idaho Falls Zoo.

Reasons to listen this week include a mystery about whether Mr. sex abuse plea deal BYU baseball player Candon Dahle actually married Kinley Geisler a manager of Zeppes in Rexburg, and why the public is in an uproar, and did Zeppes respond correctly. Another DIY forensic accounting exploration into the Greater Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce public filings including a 72% decline in net assets, sharply higher accounts payable, repeated extended filing deadlines, and the continued absence of an independent audit. Why did the Idaho National Laboratory allow its Chamber membership to expire, and why does the INL still appear in a newly published directory, and how many of the Chamber's claimed members actually want to be included and pay dues? The rabbit hole keeps going to reports of unpaid vendors, Paul's recently dissolved big daddy business entity, and the IFFC (formerly Bonneville Youth Soccer Club) another local soccer nonprofit that appears to be accepting donations even though the IRS revoked their tax exempt status. A sidebar enumerates our 3 current beefs including first the Comfort Suites, second the Chamber, and third and finally the Badvertising Agency that in our opinion is just a couple of idiot salespeople that can tattoo cameras but can't use them, and we wonder if they are telling on themselves about discriminatory hiring practices based on religion in a recent YouTube interview with an employee. Aaaaaand is patchouli really just curated dirt, does tragedy become comedy precisely 22.3 years later, and what the worst part is about being launched by a bison. We enjoy the Sunday Sinners standup comedy show at The Celt with the East Idaho Comedy Company and win a baller ass raffle basket that prompts us to plan a party. We visit Idaho Falls' brand new shaved snow shack Vampire Penguin and make a prediction about its popularity at Halloween, and get excited about the brand new McCowin Park playground just in time for Ammon Days this weekend! Upcoming events include today and tomorrow July 27-28 Shakespeare in the Park at ISU in Pocatello, this Wednesday July 29 the Goo Goo Dolls with Neon Trees at the Mountain America Center, this weekend July 30-August 2 Ammon Days and July 30-August 1 the War Bonnet Round Up at Sandy Downs Arena

Reasons to listen this week include... a bison launches a grandpa 8 feet into the Yellowstone sky, he wants a Rockstar and an hydrocodone and we start workshopping commemorative T-shirts. The Paul Baker and the Greater Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce drama gets a major update with a new interim CEO named, but we still need to know if they're doing an audit or an actual legit forensic accounting review to uncover possible fraud, misconduct, or other irregularities. And where are those financial records that you say we can have? We fall in love with Jimothy like the rest of the PNW and ponder the tragic and comedic implications of sharing our own exclusive footage of our beloved mascot, the Get Well Soon Balloon Racoon. The Idaho Falls 4th of July brochure appears to declare independence from human graphic designers, Spirit Halloween arrives in mid-July on 17th between Michaels and Al's Sporting Goods, and Jimothy the adorable viral deformed Seattle raccoon lives his best life and steals our hearts. Mike Helps Idaho presents a useful reality check on the cooling Idaho Falls housing market, we try another Le Labo fragrance Neroli 36 that we define with words like orange and musty musk. Upcoming events include this Tuesday July 21 the Idaho Falls Farmers Market Night Market at the Idaho Falls Zoo, this Friday July 24 Jo Dee Messina in concert at the Mountain America Center, next Monday and Tuesday July 27-28 Shakespeare in the Park at ISU in Pocatello, next Wednesday July 29 the Goo Goo Dolls with Neon Trees at the Mountain America Center, next weekend July 30-August 1 the War Bonnet Round Up at Sandy Downs Arena
