Bears at Red Rocks, Geese on Parole, and AI in Court – Only in Denver

This week on Real Good Denver, the headlines are wilder than a Renaissance joust after four meads. Ryan kicks things off with a huge shoutout to listener Belen for a five-star review (we see you and we love yoga too), then dives straight into the chaos swirling through our beloved Mile High City.

Here's what's cooking in Colorado:

• Lawmakers Behaving Badly – Colorado Rep. Ron Weinberg faces accusations of pre-office misconduct. It's giving "prequel to the scandal."

• AI Legal Blunders – Two of Mike Lindell’s lawyers used ChatGPT to draft a court motion and ended up $3K lighter for citing 30 imaginary court cases.

• Goose Surveillance State – 200 geese tagged like reality TV contestants at Sloan’s Lake. Yes, they’re watching. Honk accordingly.

• Red Rocks Invaded by Bears – Two black bears strolled into a concert. Nothing to see here, just wildlife vibing with your playlist.

• Child Falls from Tamarac Shelter Balcony – An 11-year-old girl survives a five-story fall after ignored safety warnings. Now the city scrambles to fix it.

• Turkey Leg Crisis at the Ren Fest – Record crowds cause a medieval meat shortage. Jousting tickets now harder to get than Taylor Swift seats.

• Boulder’s “Tube to Work Day” – Hundreds float to their jobs in full costume down Boulder Creek. Briefcases optional. Snorkels not.

• Skatepark Metal Showdowns – Nighttime bowl concerts spark turf war between metalheads and skaters. Think “West Side Story” with more studs and sweat.

• QuickTrip Loses to Denver – A new law bans gas pump saturation. Big win for clean air, big loss for late-night convenience store egg rolls.

Ryan wraps with a love letter to the city that never ceases to surprise us. Want more weird, wild, and wonderful?
