Welcome to the UPC Show with Curtis Haring, Dylan McDonnell, and, what’s this? Alex Cragun!

In the first half: It is time to ban all the vapes (while being ideologically impure), the state Supreme Court gives the okay to partisan school board elections, the legislature takes another crack at medical marijuana, and conservative groups crash a school board meeting because they hate honest discussions about sex.

In the second half: the Utah GOP fails to remove a rule that prevents them from showing up on the ballot, Moscow Mike Lee had a private meeting with Russians barred in the US by the State Department to talk about…things, and a second Republican formally announces his run for governor.

Other talking points include:

• Curtis is a monster
• Ted Cruz vibe
• Thanos This Thing
• Time to ground the nation
• A really good prank
• Bob has a shack
• A dramatic groan
• Anxiety about the “O”
• Remember when we hated Russia?
• Flipbook flyers
• Synchronized a-holes

For you fuddy-duddies that don’t like the cold open: The politics talk kicks in at 6:45.
