<v Speaker 1>Jeremy, Katie, and Josh.

<v Speaker 2>Mix 100.

<v Speaker 3>I got good news for the coffee drinkers this morning

<v Speaker 3>as you're probably getting ready to head off to work

<v Speaker 3>and school.

<v Speaker 4>The Old American Heart.

<v Speaker 3>Association is saying that about five cups of coffee a

<v Speaker 3>day is still within the safe range for most adults.

<v Speaker 4>Katie, have you blown past that this morning?

<v Speaker 2>I think I'm pretty close to it, honestly. Yeah, this

<v Speaker 2>is probably at the end of this will be cup five.

<v Speaker 5>Oh, my God.

<v Speaker 1>Good for me, then, right?

<v Speaker 6>Good for you.

<v Speaker 1>It's good for your heart.

<v Speaker 3>They say that people who drink that much coffee have

<v Speaker 3>a lower risk of stroke and a lower risk of

<v Speaker 3>developing the diabetes.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

<v Speaker 3>But there's one caveat. I don't know how much crap

<v Speaker 3>you put in it. But this is saying it only

<v Speaker 3>applies to coffee itself. So when you start loading it up.

<v Speaker 4>With all that sugar and syrup.

<v Speaker 1>What about maple syrup? Is that okay? Like the real

<v Speaker 1>maple syrup.

<v Speaker 4>I think you're probably fine. I've switched to the blue agave.

<v Speaker 3>Yes.

<v Speaker 4>Which is just a more natural sweetener. Yes.

<v Speaker 3>See? Says my Instagram health plan. I think that's probably fine.

<v Speaker 3>It's the people like my wife.

<v Speaker 4>Bless her heart. Who go and dump the, you know,

<v Speaker 4>hazelnut in there.

<v Speaker 5>The vanilla.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

<v Speaker 4>Caramel.

<v Speaker 5>Caramel.

<v Speaker 4>Glug, glug, glug, glug.

<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

<v Speaker 5>Oh, it needs more. Glug, glug, glug, glug.

<v Speaker 3>But that truly is kind of like her only vice

<v Speaker 3>is the flavored coffee creamer.

<v Speaker 4>Let her have it. It's what she's got, you know?

<v Speaker 4>Mama's busy.

<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

<v Speaker 4>It's the one little perk in her life.

<v Speaker 3>But I will say she tries to get like the

<v Speaker 3>oat milk variety or something that's slightly better, I guess.

<v Speaker 1>She's trying.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I guess.

<v Speaker 1>She's trying.

<v Speaker 3>I had a coffee fail this morning, and it kind

<v Speaker 3>of instantly pissed me off.

<v Speaker 6>Oh.

<v Speaker 4>Probably more than it should have. What happened?

<v Speaker 3>So generally every night I get the coffee maker ready,

<v Speaker 3>you know, the water's in it, the grounds are there

<v Speaker 3>in the little thing in the cup ready to rock,

<v Speaker 3>so I just come downstairs and boom.

<v Speaker 4>Fire it up.

<v Speaker 5>Yep.

<v Speaker 4>Well, last night I got it all ready, got the

<v Speaker 4>water in it, all that crap. Come downstairs. I fired

<v Speaker 4>it up. Went and started doing a few things.

<v Speaker 3>And then I came back and I poured myself my

<v Speaker 3>cup of coffee. And it was like it just looked

<v Speaker 3>like really like light colored, dirty water. There was like

<v Speaker 3>no color, dark coffee color to it. I was like,

<v Speaker 3>what the hell is going on?

<v Speaker 4>And I opened it up, the little basket, and I

<v Speaker 4>forgot to put the coffee in it. Oh, no.

<v Speaker 1>It was just brown water.

<v Speaker 3>And my mouth was all ready, and I was tired.

<v Speaker 4>And I was like, instantly set me off. I was

<v Speaker 4>like pissed for the next 45 minutes.

<v Speaker 1>You have to grind your coffee and everything, right?

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah.

<v Speaker 1>So it's like that whole step is a mad step now.

<v Speaker 4>You're like, oh, it takes forever. So hopefully Friday gets

<v Speaker 4>a little better for me.

<v Speaker 1>It will.

<v Speaker 4>Isn't it funny when little things like that set you off?

<v Speaker 1>Oh, especially first thing, because you have your routine.

<v Speaker 3>So I was tailgating people all the way into work.

<v Speaker 3>I was flipping people off.

<v Speaker 1>Take it out on them, right?

<v Speaker 4>I shoved an intern down already this morning. I can

<v Speaker 4>do it, Jer. Damn you, Folgers.

<v Speaker 2>Spork!

<v Speaker 3>It's time for a big 100 sports report.

<v Speaker 4>All right.

<v Speaker 3>Uh, your Denver Broncos are playing a little sports ball

<v Speaker 3>tonight with the hut huts and the flea flickers.

<v Speaker 4>Um, Vikings tonight, I believe, uh, mile high. Uh, it

<v Speaker 4>should be fun.

<v Speaker 3>Bo's not playing. It sounds like a few of the

<v Speaker 3>starters might doesn't matter. Um, My neighbor across the street

<v Speaker 3>is a massive Vikings fan.

<v Speaker 5>Massive.

<v Speaker 4>And I believe he's got a horn, so we'll probably

<v Speaker 4>hear that later.

<v Speaker 5>Oh, is he going to do that?

<v Speaker 4>Skol, Vikings!

<v Speaker 1>I grew up in North Dakota. It's all Packers or Vikings.

<v Speaker 2>So I know a lot of people who bleed purple.

<v Speaker 4>Oh, yeah, he's always into his Vikings gear. His email

<v Speaker 4>handle is something about Vikings.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he's into it.

<v Speaker 4>So he'll be into it tonight. No, go Broncos.

<v Speaker 5>Go Broncos.

<v Speaker 4>Hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut.

<v Speaker 3>Speaking of the NFL, I guess they've officially put a

<v Speaker 3>bullet in the Pro Bowl game.

<v Speaker 4>They're not going to do it anymore.

<v Speaker 3>What? Players are still going to vote on and recognize

<v Speaker 3>88 Pro Bowlers, but there will no longer be an

<v Speaker 3>AFC versus NFC game anymore, mostly because, well, viewership has fallen.

<v Speaker 3>A couple years ago it was like 7 million viewers

<v Speaker 3>and it dropped to like 2 million.

<v Speaker 5>This has been such a long time coming.

<v Speaker 6>I mean, they turned it into a flag football game.

<v Speaker 5>It's the dumbest thing ever.

<v Speaker 3>Shannon Sharpe's out speaking about it because he says he

<v Speaker 3>blames today's players. They essentially argue so much and they

<v Speaker 3>have stopped taking the game seriously.

<v Speaker 4>They all have destroyed it. So no more Pro Bowl.

<v Speaker 4>That's fine. I didn't watch it anyway. And then finally,

<v Speaker 4>Tom Brady. Listen to this.

<v Speaker 3>He opened a trading card store in California earlier this month,

<v Speaker 3>and within a week, it was robbed.

<v Speaker 4>It's the card vault.

<v Speaker 3>It opened on the 15th, and on the 23rd, somebody

<v Speaker 3>smashed the window and stole more than $ 12, 000 of merch. Now,

<v Speaker 3>he's also got one of these in New York City

<v Speaker 3>as well, and that one got robbed with about $ 10, 000

<v Speaker 3>worth of merch being stolen in that incident.

<v Speaker 4>Somebody's got to beef with Tom Brady. I'm telling you

<v Speaker 4>right now.

<v Speaker 5>Or his ex-wives.

<v Speaker 1>He needs to up his security.

<v Speaker 4>I know, right?

<v Speaker 1>He doesn't have the money for it.

<v Speaker 3>Anyway, so he's in the card game now.

<v Speaker 5>Why not?

<v Speaker 4>Doesn't he have anything else to do, this guy?

<v Speaker 5>He's part owner of the Raiders. You'd think he'd be

<v Speaker 5>doing more.

<v Speaker 4>All right, what else is there?

<v Speaker 6>All right, well, summer is coming to an end, and

<v Speaker 6>so what else is there to do but make a

<v Speaker 6>list of the funniest collegiate teams and their mascots some

<v Speaker 6>of these are hilarious i've never even heard of the

<v Speaker 6>university of delaware the flight the fighting blue hens how

<v Speaker 4>She ate a lot of blueberries.

<v Speaker 5>Wild. We have more. The Ant Eaters. That one is

<v Speaker 5>the Ant Eaters. Like, what is going on?

<v Speaker 6>What do you think University of California, Irvine is coming

<v Speaker 6>up with crazy nicknames like that?

<v Speaker 5>The Billikens, which is St. Louis University. What's a Billiken?

<v Speaker 6>A Billiken is a charm doll that looks like a

<v Speaker 6>cross between a monkey and a troll, Katie.

<v Speaker 2>Oh.

<v Speaker 4>Every ladies' team is the ladies. It sounds classy.

<v Speaker 5>Every men's team is the gentlemen's team.

<v Speaker 4>That's the one I'm on board with.

<v Speaker 1>Pinkies up, right?

<v Speaker 4>All day. The ladies are playing today.

<v Speaker 2>Go ladies.

<v Speaker 4>We've got drama.

<v Speaker 1>We've got Denver talking.

<v Speaker 4>It's the Mile High Hype.

<v Speaker 3>With JKJ.

<v Speaker 5>Legends and icons.

<v Speaker 1>On Mix 100.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's Hype brought to you by Mountain High Appliance,

<v Speaker 3>where you get amazing savings throughout all their showrooms, whether

<v Speaker 3>you're replacing one appliance or remodeling your entire ding-dang kitchen.

<v Speaker 3>Find top brands and expert advice. Just go to mountainhighappliance.com.

<v Speaker 3>Side note, before we get into the hype, one of

<v Speaker 3>my most favorite things we do in the studio is

<v Speaker 3>when Katie and I are talking about things.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

<v Speaker 3>It's a fun little game that we play, and it's

<v Speaker 3>called Was Josh Even Born Yet?

<v Speaker 2>He was three.

<v Speaker 3>We found out. Josh was three when Practical Magic came out.

<v Speaker 1>Huge fan.

<v Speaker 3>Next week, we're giving away tickets to go see Practical

<v Speaker 3>Magic 2 during Katie Crush.

<v Speaker 1>I'm so excited about that.

<v Speaker 4>Yes. So, yes, he was.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

<v Speaker 4>And he was three.

<v Speaker 1>Little baby toddler Josh.

<v Speaker 5>Oh, boy.

<v Speaker 3>All right, so CNN is apologizing because they mistakenly aired

<v Speaker 3>a photo of a Dolly Parton impersonator from Las Vegas

<v Speaker 3>instead of the real Dolly during some sort of special

<v Speaker 3>tribute on Tuesday night. They say we regret the error

<v Speaker 3>and apologize to the Parton family.

<v Speaker 4>Probably somebody Josh's age putting together the reel for all that, right?

<v Speaker 4>I thought it was her.

<v Speaker 1>They probably ran it through AI, thought they were good.

<v Speaker 3>The impersonator said, I started getting all these texts from

<v Speaker 3>friends saying that I was on CNN and I couldn't

<v Speaker 3>believe it.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, honest mistake. I saw the picture. She looks like a.

<v Speaker 4>Total Dolly Parton impersonator. So if you're not familiar with

<v Speaker 4>the original, the OG DP, I can see that mistake.

<v Speaker 3>In CNN's defense, though, didn't Dolly Parton enter a Dolly

<v Speaker 3>Parton lookalike contest at one point and she lost?

<v Speaker 1>And she lost. Yeah, exactly. So a lot of people

<v Speaker 1>look like Dolly, even more than her.

<v Speaker 4>So you know what? Honest mistake.

<v Speaker 3>Speaking of DP, there is a petition right now at change.org.

<v Speaker 3>calling for Nashville International Airport to be renamed Dolly Parton

<v Speaker 3>International Airport. It has surged past 128,000 signatures.

<v Speaker 4>Originally kind of.

<v Speaker 3>A joke from a comedian, but now it's really getting

<v Speaker 3>some legs.

<v Speaker 4>Tennessee State Senator.

<v Speaker 3>I say, I say, Todd Warner has pledged to introduce

<v Speaker 3>legislation supporting the name change and Nashville City Council member

<v Speaker 3>Russ Bradford, whoever the hell that is. announced that he

<v Speaker 3>would sponsor a resolution asking the Metro Nashville Airport Authority

<v Speaker 3>to consider renaming the airport.

<v Speaker 1>I'd be all for it. Why not? I am 100%

<v Speaker 1>on board with this.

<v Speaker 2>And I would go out of my way to fly

<v Speaker 2>into Dolly Parton Airport.

<v Speaker 4>Right.

<v Speaker 2>I know.

<v Speaker 4>Did you fly into Dolly today?

<v Speaker 1>Sure did.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

<v Speaker 3>Sheryl Crow is out and about saying, yes, this needs

<v Speaker 3>to happen. She's got nothing else to do right now.

<v Speaker 3>There is some sort of law, a bylaw or something

<v Speaker 3>out there, they say that is written. into their legislation

<v Speaker 3>that is prohibiting renaming a facility for someone unless they've

<v Speaker 3>been dead for at least two years.

<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's silly. We don't need that rule to stand.

<v Speaker 3>The airport said, hey, we honored Parton by lighting our

<v Speaker 3>parking garages pink throughout the weekend.

<v Speaker 5>Oh, that's the same.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, exactly. That's real nice.

<v Speaker 1>Exactly.

<v Speaker 2>Do you see also the story about the latest hurricane.

<v Speaker 4>Is Hurricane Dolly.

<v Speaker 1>Now that just happened. They didn't plan on naming it Dolly,

<v Speaker 1>but yeah.

<v Speaker 4>No time, man.

<v Speaker 3>No time. Six Flags Magic Mountain X2 roller coaster has

<v Speaker 3>been closed since the beginning of July because two women

<v Speaker 3>suffered brain hemorrhages within.

<v Speaker 4>Six days of riding it.

<v Speaker 3>Three neurosurgeons confirmed that the injuries were caused by traumatic

<v Speaker 3>rapid acceleration and deceleration on the ride. They say that

<v Speaker 3>the damage is typically associated with high-speed collisions.

<v Speaker 4>The second rider is in a coma.

<v Speaker 2>What?

<v Speaker 4>That can happen?

<v Speaker 3>They did an investigation, and they uncovered over a dozen

<v Speaker 3>injury reports linked to the X2 coaster, two of them

<v Speaker 3>being fatal... Plus, 70 head and neck complaints logged between

<v Speaker 3>29 and 22. Six Flags is saying, though, this ride

<v Speaker 3>still meets safety regulations.

<v Speaker 1>Does it, though?

<v Speaker 3>And they declined to address the July incidents. As of

<v Speaker 3>right now, the ride does remain closed.

<v Speaker 4>Good.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they might want to rethink that ride if they're

<v Speaker 3>getting this many issues on it.

<v Speaker 1>And really, the story of everything's fine, people are buying that?

<v Speaker 1>There's a woman in a coma!

<v Speaker 5>What?

<v Speaker 4>Typically associated with high speed collisions. It's like riding in

<v Speaker 4>the car with my wife. Rapid acceleration and deceleration.

<v Speaker 3>And real quick, fans of our girl Olivia Rodrigo, you're

<v Speaker 3>going to like this. She's partnered with Taco Bell for

<v Speaker 3>a brand new Baja Blast flavor.

<v Speaker 4>It is called You Seem Pretty Pink for a Baja Blast.

<v Speaker 4>I'm not ordering that. It's too long to say.

<v Speaker 1>Exactly right.

<v Speaker 3>It's the OG Baja Blast with pink lemonade in it.

<v Speaker 3>It's going to come in a custom cup with Olivia's

<v Speaker 3>photo on it. Yet another reason I probably won't order this.

<v Speaker 5>No, it tastes probably good, though.

<v Speaker 1>Oh, yeah, and people will absolutely eat that up.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, because, you know, fat America.

<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

<v Speaker 4>Get in my belly.

<v Speaker 6>You like my.

<v Speaker 5>Fight, Jer? What?

<v Speaker 4>That's right. What else you got?

<v Speaker 1>Hey, this is good news for Colorado. The Colorado Lotto

<v Speaker 1>plus jackpot. Somebody won it right here in Colorado.

<v Speaker 2>It happened at the King Soopers in Conifer.

<v Speaker 1>They hit it really big, too. It was a $ 10. 5

<v Speaker 1>million prize. The cash out for that, $ 5. 2 million.

<v Speaker 5>Good.

<v Speaker 1>That's a chunk of change.

<v Speaker 5>You know what's funny?

<v Speaker 3>I was at my Safeway last night, and I was

<v Speaker 3>standing there at self-checkout, and I was talking to the

<v Speaker 3>woman there. And this guy goes walking by and she goes, hey,

<v Speaker 3>there he is. And I was like, okay, they must

<v Speaker 3>be dating or something.

<v Speaker 4>I don't know. And she looked at me and she said,

<v Speaker 4>that guy just won Powerball. I was like, really?

<v Speaker 3>She's like, yeah, we got a call from the lottery

<v Speaker 3>that said somebody had won a ticket, had a winning

<v Speaker 3>ticket from our Safeway store.

<v Speaker 4>She's like, and it.

<v Speaker 3>Turns out it was the dude that works back there

<v Speaker 3>in the deli. He bought a ticket there and he

<v Speaker 3>won $ 50, 000.

<v Speaker 2>Oh.

<v Speaker 1>Oh, no way.

<v Speaker 4>So I was like, way to go, buddy. And I

<v Speaker 4>was like, that's a lot of cash. I go, not

<v Speaker 4>enough to quit though, huh? And he's like, nope, I'm

<v Speaker 4>still here.

<v Speaker 3>But yeah, I was like, how neat is that? Like

<v Speaker 3>you buy a ticket at your Safeway and then you win.

<v Speaker 3>You got to keep working there.

<v Speaker 2>Make you want to keep working. I mean, that would

<v Speaker 2>make me like my job more.

<v Speaker 5>Absolutely.

<v Speaker 1>If I won a $ 50, 000 prize there. Good for you, buddy. Yeah.

<v Speaker 1>Slice me sideways, huh?

<v Speaker 5>There we go.

<v Speaker 1>All right. So, again, congratulations to that lucky person.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

<v Speaker 1>And, hey, more good news for Colorado. We are smart

<v Speaker 1>and pretty.

<v Speaker 3>Okay.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

<v Speaker 2>A couple studies showing Denver's doing okay. So, WalletHub did

<v Speaker 2>the smartest cities in America. They did, I think, 150

<v Speaker 2>largest metro statistical areas. comparing them across 11 key metrics.

<v Speaker 2>So they looked at people who had at least a

<v Speaker 2>bachelor's degree, the quality of the public school system, and

<v Speaker 2>the size of.

<v Speaker 1>The gender education gap. All of these things were included.

<v Speaker 1>So Denver, we got to number 12.

<v Speaker 4>We're at number 12.

<v Speaker 2>Barely missing the top 10. And then Colorado Springs coming in.

<v Speaker 4>That's as high as we can count.

<v Speaker 1>At number 13. That's a good deal. 150 different cities.

<v Speaker 2>So number 12. That's a pretty good look. And again,

<v Speaker 2>Colorado Springs, number 13. And we are also very fit.

<v Speaker 2>In America's most.

<v Speaker 1>cities.

<v Speaker 2>This one was done by the 2026 American College of

<v Speaker 2>Sports Medicine's American Fitness Index.

<v Speaker 6>No, we are.

<v Speaker 1>Have you looked around the rest of the country?

<v Speaker 5>Come on.

<v Speaker 1>The people in Denver... I'm starting to.

<v Speaker 4>Not believe that.

<v Speaker 3>I was just at a very popular location here in

<v Speaker 3>town and.

<v Speaker 6>I.

<v Speaker 4>Don't want to be mean.

<v Speaker 5>Imagine how much worse it is everywhere else.

<v Speaker 1>You know what you need to do?

<v Speaker 2>Go over to Wash Park and watch those people run

<v Speaker 2>around it. Those are the most fittest people I've ever...

<v Speaker 2>You can bounce a quarter off those buns.

<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you.

<v Speaker 4>I got to give me a roll of quarters.

<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you, they are so in shape out at

<v Speaker 2>Wash Park and in Denver. That's what this looked at.

<v Speaker 2>So Denver in this study, number five, according to the

<v Speaker 2>Fit Levels.

<v Speaker 5>Most fittest.

<v Speaker 1>So that is really good. Aurora, number 31.

<v Speaker 2>If you can believe it or not. And then Colorado Springs,

<v Speaker 2>40th on that list. So they're looking at access to parks,

<v Speaker 2>recreation facilities, bike lanes, public spaces, all that stuff.

<v Speaker 5>But also.

<v Speaker 1>physical activity, smoking rates, and diet.

<v Speaker 2>So they looked at all of those things when they

<v Speaker 2>did this study.

<v Speaker 1>So we're pretty... And we're smart. I love that.

<v Speaker 4>Okay, moving on.

<v Speaker 2>And an Adams County firefighter is a hero in more

<v Speaker 2>ways than one today. They responded to a call to

<v Speaker 2>rescue a little kitten from a well yesterday morning.

<v Speaker 1>Oh, he's stuck in a well, the little kitten.

<v Speaker 2>They were able to save it and bring him to

<v Speaker 2>a local animal shelter. But the best part about this

<v Speaker 2>story warms my heart.

<v Speaker 1>One of the firefighters adopted that little kitty. I know,

<v Speaker 1>he's five weeks old. one lived happily ever after. Oh,

<v Speaker 1>I love it.

<v Speaker 2>So yeah, firefighters saving the day and becoming a little

<v Speaker 2>kitty mama.

<v Speaker 1>Love it. There you go. There's my hype.
